A friend of us, SpiKeD Q80, conservatively hacked iPhone IPCC configuration file (version 3) to enable some nice features:
- Connectivity settings for GPRS and Tethering
- Connectivity settings MMS
- Disable group MMS when sending group SMS
- Add Zain sign instead of the “Zain KW” operator logo
*No jailbreak required
To download it for Zain Click here
To install it
- Connect your iPhone to your PC/MAC
- Open iTunes
- Press Option (MAC keyboard) OR Ctrl (PC keyboard) + Restore (In iTunes)
- Choose IPCC file from target location. This will only change the settings
*** If you can’t choose IPCC file from iTunes, you will need to enable the selection of IPCC file through the follwing***
In MAC
- Open the terminal (found in Applications > Utilities)
- Enter the following: defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
- Then choose the IPCC file from iTunes again.
In PC
- Open Windows command prompt
- Enter: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
- Then choose the IPCC file from iTunes again.
Spiky also posted this topic in Q8mug.com, click to check it. So far only Zain-KW setting have been tested, Spiky is working on Viva and Wataniay settings as well. Thank Spiky and keep up the good work 
didn’t work for me, I have opened the terminal and entered the command, and still the bundle isn’t available to be selected !! any idea?
Fahad,
Just to be sure you are using iTunes 8.2?
Also you need to make sue that itunes is closed when running the command or to restart the itunes once the command is put.
this should make it work.
I have tried it but still doesn’t work,
and yes the itunes is 8.2
i don’t know why it isn’t working??? any idea?
Fahad,
I guess you are not running the vista 64 bit.
So here is another way.
Step 1: Quit iTunes
Step 2: Press Windows Key + R to open the run dialog. Enter in cmd then click OK
Step 3: Enter the following command into the Command Prompt window.
“C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
Step 4: Connect your iPhone and click to launch iTunes from your Start Menu.
Step 5: Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left then hold down the Shift key and click the Check for Updates button.
Step 6: Now you can now select your .ipcc file as it is not greyed out
thanks to Raz
hiya, thanks for this post.
question, restoring usually deletes everything off an iPhone? so I was wondering if this is like an actual restore..? I don’t want my data to be erased.
Not at all, restoring from an ipcc only updates the gprd settings, mms and zain logo. You will not lose anything
Can You do it for VIVA also ?
Yes it’s possible! but we need the Viva manual MMS/Internet setting to configure it in a file; can you get it to us?
ahh, nvm I took the risk and just did it.
anyway, I had the same problem as fahad, (I’m on windows 7). I did some researching and this is what ended up pasting on cmd to be able to view ipcc files:
“%ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
& lol the zain logo at the top is pretty sick
.
thanks again for the post.
Well the MMS is working but I have no tethering option at all do you know why?
Hi Spikey,
Thanks for the carrier settings. I have a few questions:
1)I have the high speed plan from zain. and they told me that instead of using apn “pps”, I need to use “hspps” for the cellular data settings (I tested both and the speed difference is huge). if I change the settings on the iphone, I always end up losing the ability to tether. If I try to create my own mobile configuration file from iphone-notes.de using hspps, it also gives the same apn “hspps” for MMS, which makes MMS unusable (I can create the MMS but it doesn’t send) because MMS should be “pps” instead of “hspps”. I don’t know how to create an ipcc file that gives the cellular data settings and MMS settings different apns. Can you please help me with that?
2) I use my phone on different networks from different countries and providers. Now I am stuck with the Zain Carrier logo. Is there a way to revert back to the default carrier logo? (ie the one the carrier provides automatically when you connect to the network?)
Thanks so much
Bibo- the tethering option will vanish if you change any of the network settings. Try restarting your iphone also.
pocoloco.
1) Ok here is the hspps ipcc file (this has been tested and working)
http://spikey.q8.googlepages.com/Zain_kw2.ipcc
2) As for the Zain logo, the ipcc was done to support only the Zain sims. I created another one to support others. So tell me how it goes with you because I couldnt test it with other sims.

Dear SpiKeY,
Have the same problem as fahad (the ipcc file is grey) followed all your instructions but am using Mac. Any ideas ?
Thanks for all your help Spikey
Spikey,
I have tried every way I used the ipcc without editing first sand I restarted my mobile but I have no luck , so I edited the carrier bundle and changed the mask to many value I noticed that it is 49 in the carrier bundle which is 11001 I tried changing that I even tried a lot of combination of mobileconfig I still don’t see it.
My mobile is 2G unlocked with redsn0w.
Do you have any idea how to turn on the tethering
bibo..
a, not sure if 2g has any difference because it is a firmware issue.
Did you try negative values? you can try -7.
Spikey: thanks a lot.
Hey Spikey,
I’m using a MAC and the bundle is still grey.
Thanks

Hi,
Zain KW IPCC used to work fine with me untill I upgraded my iPhone OS to 3.1. since then I’m not able to see Interent Tethering option anymore.
Please I need an advice in-order to fix this, and if it’s not possible, please guide me how to revert back to OS 3.0.1
Thanks
Ohh! Unfortunately you cannot roll back to version 3.0; and the new version doesn’t have that tethering option … Still people are trying to find a solution for it
So, we don’t have any other option then waiting.
Thanx alot for your reply.
We need the same for OS 3.1… pleaaase
