ok new out of the box still has 5.1 which means tethhering and apn editing is enabled, now if you plug into itunes it will want to update carrier settings...hit CANCEL, now for those who screwed up and updated this is how to roll back
Windows 32 Bit:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Go to Start then Run and type CMD.
3. Run this command(If you right-click on the cmd window you can paste): “C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
2. I actually navigated to the iTunes folder though the command line and typed : iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
Copying the IPCC file to your iPhone:
The above steps will allow you to update the IPCC using iTunes 9+. To copy the IPCC file to your iPhone follow these instructions:
1. Open iTunes & plug in your phone.
2. Click on your phone in iTunes(under device settings).
3. Windows Users: hold shift and click “Check for updates”. MAC OS X: hold alt and click “Check for updates”.
4. Select the IPCC you downloaded earlier.
2. Reboot
this is 5.1 that is signed and will allow rollback
