Same thing. It's an Winterboard error. Remove all your themes and then try again.
Thank You!
followed the instructions and they worked perfectly on my JB iPhone 3G on 3.0.1. I can now send and receive MMS without going to 3.1. Thank you so much.

The messed up part is that I dont have Winterboard or any themes (removed 5 icon dock also)
confirming benm tethering hack still works
Confirming that I updated to the 5.5 carrier file following instructions at the top of this thread and the benm tethering still works - I'm tethered now on my Windows 7 PC and have confirmed that IP traffic is actually going through the tethered connection.
iTunes 9.0.1
iPhone version 3.0.1
Carrier AT&T 5.5
Windows 7
using the easy benm Profile tethering hack still works fine. Again, it is actually working - I'm using it now. I'm not seeing any difference in how tethering works before / after installing the 5.5 carrier file.
Also confirmed that I have the ability to send MMS - although I haven't seen the message come through on the receiving phone yet, but that's AT&T's issue.

I would try reinstalling iTunes, and in that doesn't work. Reinstall your drivers for your usb 2.0.
Reset Network
I followed the instructions, rebooted and was still getting the red !. I verified that my carrier settings (settings>general>about) were 5.5. I then reset my network settings (settings>general>network>cellular data network> reset settings), then rebooted. MMS now works.

Do a complete restore (be careful not to loose your jailbreak or unlock status [if you have]) and then try again.
I believe at this point it is a conflict in settings.
Not seeing Cellular Data Network, let alone Reset Settings Sure youre on 5.5 and not 5.1?
If your coming from 5.1 to 5.5 then you will see Cellular Data Network. If not then you go to General/Reset/Reset Network Settings
I must be really dumb, but...
I download the file, it saves on my desktop as a zipped folder, so, I extract and save the extracted folder on my desktop. Then I run the cmd prompt, no problems there. Then I open itunes, shift/click update, change the file type, but here's where I have trouble.
I find the downloaded folder on my desktop, and open it, all it does is open the main folder revealing subfolders, the first of which is called Payload. Then I open that, it just keeps opening sub folders, until I end up with a group of files with different languages. Nothing I open actually installs the carrier file. I could swear I'm doing everything mentioned in the instructions.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Ari

Ok, once you save it, try NOT extracting it. and try using the file itself. (I'm thinking you might have your zip program set to open .ipcc files)
I tried that, but when I leave the folder intact, and zipped, which is the way it saves on my desktop, when I go to look for it in itunes, it doesn't show, it only shows once I extract it to an unzipped version of the folder. My computer is not an old one, so, it should be working pretty much the same way most PCs are. Any further ideas are most welcome!
Is there perhaps another place I can download the official carrier file in unzipped form? ANybody know? Thanks.
Ok This does not work ive done everything to a tee and still not been able to get MMS i even went to another comoputer winxp and it will not show up on the desk or anything, am i doing something wrong???????????
Yes you are doing something wrong. Majority of people in this thread have it working perfectly.
What exactly isn't working for you?
Ok i save the carrier setting to the desk top and when i open itunes i shift and then update at the sametime of course and when i try to open the file under the ipcc it will not do anything..... what gives
Well, when you shift click the ipcc file in Itunes, and the ipcc is stored to the iphone, It doesn't look like it does anything. Then you have to reboot your iphone and you will see the difference.
