Change the “root” password:

  1. The easy way to change the root password is install mobile terminal from Cydia.
  2. After that is installed press home button to go back to Home screen.
  3. Look for the mobile terminal icon then launch it.
  4. Type “su” (without quote)press return.
  5. Then password “alpine” (without quote)press return.
  6. Now you are logging in as root.
  7. Type “passwd” (without quote)press return.
  8. Type your new password/press return.
  9. Retype your new password/press return.
  10. Exit out.
  11. Change the “mobile” password:
  12. Open mobile terminal
  13. type “passwd” (without quote)press return
  14. type old password: alpine
  15. type your new password/press return
  16. retype your new password/press return

After the instruction test that it worked. Try to log in on winSCP then enter password “alpine”
the system will deny it, just type your new password.

The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction on T-Mobile, here is a FIX for that!

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

So after updating my iPhone 3G to firmware 3.1.2, jailbreaking and unlocking it so I could use it with T-Mobile I can no longer receive picture messages. This is the error I get “The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction”. I have tried multiple settings I found while searching google.com and have not found a cure. This is annoying as hell so I will not rest until I find the cure and post it here.

Woooooord UP! I found a fix that works!

1. Open Cydia/Icy and make sure http://www.sinfuliphonerepo.com is added to your sources
2. Search for “Enable MMS for 2G & 3.1.2 Firmware” and install it.
3. Reboot your iPhone
4. Have someone send you a pic message and enjoy!
5.There is more than one way to fix this issue but this was the only one that worked for me.
These are my actually settings under General/Network/Cellular Data Network/Cellular Data
