MMS re-configuration for carrier-unlocked devices

[JamesPtheNerd]

Hi,

I'm a bit new at this, but;

Inspired by the fact that:

1. I have a carrier-unlocked WP7 Device (Samsung Focus i917R)
2. You cannot simply configure the MMS settings
3. WindowBreak (http://windowsphonehacker.com/windowbreak/) does a fine job of loading MMS Settings using a Zip File Exploit of sorts
4. You use that same screen to load your own Carrier MMS Settings in specifically-formatted XML

I've created a way to load carrier-specific MMS settings into the phone; I'm thinking that NO Interop / Developer Unlock is required.

I've used WindowsPhoneHacker's technique of generating a zip file with relative paths leading up:

 |
 - MainDir
  \
  |
  - provxml/
  | \
  |  - mycarrier.xml
  |
  - one/
  \
   - two/
    \
     - three/
      \
       - four/

From this 'four' directory, I run (in a linux-type console, can't really do with windows, I don't think)89

zip -r ~/Desktop/MyCarrierSettings.zip ../../../../provxml/*

I then get a zip file with hard-coded ../../../../provxml/mycarrier.xml path; which, I slap onto a webserver, that, when loaded onto the phone via IE just like WindowBreak, and tapping on the mycarrier.xml file, THEN jumping into Diagnostics, then *#9908# and choosing my carrier settings, then rebooting...

Made my MMS work!

Sample is at
http://nosdev.dyndns.org/TelusMMS.zip (for Telus Mobility WP7 Phones only)

IS this something that can be reproduced with many carrier settings (such as those found here, and perhaps I can run a site that helps the community load these up?

This is above and beyond my comfort zone but I'd be greatful to test for you, I am running a Sumsung Focus S (i937) unlocked, debranded running tango on Tmobile. If you could set up an xml i could load I'd report back for you.
