Carrier settings update won't install

Boas,

Para todos os Portugueses que estão a utilizar a Vodafone e estão a ter problemas no Update da Operadora telefónica, agradecia que tentassem fazer as seguintes operações:

- Fazer o Upgrade através de um computador diferente;
- Fazer um "Restore" ao iPhone (este passo, resolveu-me o problema).

Se nenhum dos passos ajudar, será melhor esperarem, até porque a Vodafone informou-me não ter conhecimento deste Update e que neste momento não aconselha aos seus clientes o respectivo Update, bem como do 2.0.1.

Hi everyone,

For the other guys around the globe, I would like to give the same advices I gave my pals here in Portugal. Here they are:

- Try to complete the Carrier Update on a different computer;
- Also, try to do a full Restore to your iPhone (actually this fixed my problem, which was exactly like yours);

If my steps didn't work, I'd recommend to wait as my carrier advised me to do the same, as they didn't know anything about the Update in question!

Hope this helps!

As I posted before: I restored my iPhone completely without restoring any data and settings and the error was still there.

I'm still waiting for something new in macrumors.com

@omo I see, my bad.

TUAW writes about this as well, some of the comments might be interesting: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/08/05/3g-iphone-users-experience-carrier-error-with-2-0 -1-update/

I'm getting this problem with t-mobile in NL. A Restore fixed it for me, that is until the next time I plugged my phone in, and the problem came right back

Just add Belgium (Mobistar) to the list. It just won't update.

Same issue here in Mexico...

My carrier is (unfortunately) Telcel.

Same problem carrier Telcel in Mexico

Same problem with Mobistar in Belgium.

The same problem. Afterthat it isn't possible to activate a mobile datanetwork.

T-Mobile,The Netherlands, same problem.

But it don't looks like it makes any difference for using the iphone,so for now,I just wait untill the next update which is going to fix this.

We start to look like Windows,all those updates and patches..... 😉

Me too. Vodafone portugal!

Try to start some apps, who need the internet. Of course do not activate wi-fi.

It is bungling work. I agree it seems to be the same path as MS. I have in 20 years of Apple use, never had such a disappointed experience. The 3G has a GUI that is marvellous, but the changes (dockconnector- USB/Firewire -> USB, battery loading problems, apps only Apple authorized, etc. it is ???. Formerly I had a Nokia N95. That functions a lot better than the iphone 3 G.

I hope that Apple can solve the problems the coming month. When this isn't possible I sell my iPhone.

I had this message
"iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone. An unknown error occured (0xE8000001)."
I made a Restore rather than Update in iTunes and update successfully.
