Rogers Carrier Update for iOS 4

By RoryPiper on June 20th, 2010 58

One of the smaller, not widely known features of iOS 4, is the ability for carriers to push out updates, over the air. Previously, this could only be done, via iTunes. This isn’t Apple firmware updates, but rather carrier specific updates.

The iOS 4 betas have been coming with Rogers carrier updates. Rogers 6 was the first one I noticed, then it was updated to Rogers 7, in the GM release. Now, an update has been pushed out,over the air, bringing us up to Rogers 7.1. This is most likely in preparation for the official release of the final iOS 4 sometime tomorrow, for compatibility. We don’t have any details on this, but we’ll keep you up to date, if there’s any major changes.

    Check your carrier setting to see if it's Roger's 7.1, if it's only 7.0, you are experiencing the same issues as people on this page. See the solution below. Fido is owned by Rogers, so whatever works for Fido should work for Rogers too.

    Sorry didn't get to post an update to my experience. So my tethering is available again. What I did was:
    1. Restore the phone
    2. Let the update apply either via over the air or itunes
    3. In my instance, I did it via itunes and it didn't have to restart to change the version of the carrier settings to 7.1
    4. I did the jb via redsnow which patched the downloaded OS 4 released version from iTunes
    5. Restarted and I have carrier settings at 7.1, Tethering is available and I'm jailbroken :)

    For those of you who have this problem after jailbreaking to 4.0 using Pwnage Tool 4.01, make sure you do it in Expert mode and that you remove the checkmark next to “Activate” . If you let Pwnage Tool activate the phone, you'll run into this problem posted.

    I had to re-restore/jailbreak and deselect the Activate option.

    carrier updates will not block jailbreaking or unlocking. They are how the iphone know the setting of your carrier such as apns. This is how tethering was not enable for at&t. I am in Canada, the carrier updates unlocked the tethering option since tethering is not an extra paid option and included in most data plans in fido and rogers.

    AWESOME THANKS SOO MUCH IT WORKED!!! and I'm not with Fido I'm with Rogers and it still worked like a charm!

    I’m using a Telus 3GS with Rogers and the carrier update is now 7.2. It was 7.0 before the update. It doesn’t affect the jailbreak or unlock.
