Carrier settings update won't install

I also got this error message this morning after I had updated to 2.0.1. I did not have time to try a second time, but on another site someone mentioned that they spoke to someone from Apple and they said this was often caused with a dock issue and suggested plugging the jack straight to the iphone rather than through a dock. He said this solved the issue. I will try when I get home from work and post to let you know.

i think this relates to your carrier giving u a 2.0.1 setting file...
but in my case I am with Optus in Australia..and heard on the aussie thread that it doesnt matter that u dont have the latest carrier settings files...
so...IMO dont worry too much about it..
maybe the carrier may at some point in the future update their settings...
but nothing to be worry about

I have the exact same problem on the exact same network (Softbank, Japan). Same error message and everything.

I too don't use a dock to connect so that isn't the issue.

Has anyone with a moderately good grasp of Japanese tried calling Softbank yet? (Yeah I know, I cringe at talking to those people too)

I think I'd like to be sure that the carrier update is not needed from Softbank here in Japan rather than take my chances. Phone companies are Nazis out here. I'd hate to have a non-functional phone just because I was having a problem with the update.

However, since my phone is still plugging along, it may be exactly the same type of issue as in Australia. But you get my point.

This seems to be a very common issue. I'm guessing Apple/Carriers will rectify this shortly. Not a smooth start to the upgrade/fix path for a relatively bug-filled launch of 2.0

Yea, after install the firmware 2.0.1 i got the same error about the carrier settings.

(Carrier is Vodafone, Portugal).

Just updated to 2.0.1 and have the same error message about the carrier update.

Mexico Telcel carrier.

After being around a lot of non-apple support sites, I can report that this is a world wide error as far as I know.

I don't think it's tied too heavily to one carrier or region.

Regardless, I hope someone at Apple gets around to clearing it up. Because I'm sure the carriers can't be too happy about this either.

I have this problem too, after updating to 2.0.1
I am using a Hong Kong Carrier

T-Mobile in the Netherlands gives the same problem

Same here with T- Mobile in the Netherlands.
Not using a dock............

Same thing here on Vodafone PT.

Restarted iphone, itunes, mac, tried everythign: no go.
I remember the previous carrier settings update went fine.

If you haven't seen it already, you may like to visit this link. It should settle a few worries.

which link??

I got the same issue, not that I am angry or anything but any update on this would be great.

It has so far not affected my iphone 3G.
