In order to make Storm a great machine, here is one of the tips to make MMS service better:

1. Make a backup of data with D.M
2. Must have your OS installed on computer and phone
3. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9530-v4.7.0.xxx*\Java
4. Delete net_rim_bb_mms.cod
5. Plug in phone and run loader it will remove mms from phone, phone will restart with an error thats ok just leave it sit that way and up plug from usb
6. Go back to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9530-v4.7.0.xxx*\Java
7. Copy the .100 net_rim_bb_mms.cod file in the directory
8. Plug phone back in run loader phone will update and install that mms.cod and restart.
9. After phone restarts go to D.M and restore backup then send host routing table
10. Pull battery put battery back phone restarts
11. MMS will send with pictures or forward old mms with pictures

* is your loaded OS

NOTES:
1. The mms.cod file I have is from .100, but the .86 mms.cod file works also.
2. Vista users make sure you install Crackutil as Administrator and change Compatability to Run this program as an administrator.
