Getting Edge To Work Again on Iphone O2 after Jailbreak
After performing a Jailbreak (as outlined in my previous post Jailbreak the Iphone, you may find that you have issues connecting to edge.
Here is the solution:
I have only tested this on the O2 UK network.
First make sure the IPhone and your computer are connected to the same wireless network. Now find the ip of your iphone by looking in setting, and then clicking the little arrow beside the wireless network you are connected to.
You need to ssh in to your IPhone, so open up the terminal in mac, or download Putty (a free windows ssh client), and connect to your iphone like this: ssh root@ip_address_of_my_iphone
The password is either alpine or dottie, or whatever you may have set it to if you set it yourself.
now issue the following 3 commands:
rm /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.carrier.plist
ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/O2_UK.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.carrier.plist
rm -f /var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
Reboot your phone by holding down the turn off button and the home button together and then sliding to power off.
And you should now be back on edge!

I have used your website to find help for unblocking my iPhone and getting Edge to work. Thank you so much for your clear intructions, it has been very usefull. I did, however get a little confused with the page for getting edge to work, there seems to be a small error. It says to
and connect to your iphone like this: ssh root@ip_address_of_my_iphone
But i found it would only work if you didnt type root@ip_address_of_my_iphone
and not
ssh root@ip_address_of_my_iphone, which is how it looks.
It may just be me not being up on this type of thing but as a novis this is how it appeared to me.
Thanks again for all your help and i hope i havent come accross as rood for possibly correcting an error.

Hi David,
Thanks for the comment! Sorry this was not very clear, if you are connecting to your iphone via a terminal on mac os x or Linux, you need to issue the command:
ssh root@ip_address_of_my_iphone
ssh is the program used to connect (secure shell), putty being the equivalent program for windows based machines.
