Non-existent profile removal
Good evening everyone,
I am having a quite annoying issue with my iPhone. I hope you will be able to help me solve the problem. Here's the story :
I've had an iPhone 3G before, on which I installed a profile with empty APN settings so that my iPhone wouldn't connect to Internet (because I had no data plan), using the tool provided by Apple. I then changed to an iPhone 3GS, and I restored all my settings and data from the backup using iTunes. Then I subscribed to a data plan from my carrier and removed the profile from my iPhone to enjoy it.
The problem is that the iPhone did not actually remove the profile. I still can't connect to the Internet, and I can't install another profile because the iPhone says there is already one installed (while my old profile is supposed to have been removed: the profile list is empty). When I checked what setting was really in the iPhone (using "iPhone Backup Extractor"), I found out that - as I supposed - the old settings were still here.
When I tried a restore using iTunes, I then was able to connect to the Internet. Restoring "Network Settings" from the iPhone had no effect.
I don't know what I can do since:
- Restoring would make me loose all my data.
- I can't install a new profile with the correct APN settings.
- I can no longer install the original IPCC file through iTunes (iTunes 10).
So I either loose my data, or loose Internet connection.
Has anyone an idea ?
Thank you for reading,
Please excuse my poor English.
