Hi,

Anyone know if the benM tethering hack thing is working for 3.1.2 yet? I've been hearing that 3.1.2 is much better than 3.0.1, and I really want to update, but also don't want to lose my tethering ability!

Anyone successful at getting the benM to work on 3.1.2, and can confirm that is a-ok?

Thanks guys!
 
Benm posted a new tethering hack yesterday. I haven't tried it just yet, awaiting feedback.

I personally don't want the hassle of the jail-breaking arms race, so will stay put on 3.0 for now.

The BenM hack does not work on 3.1.2 and never will due to changes in the baseband. There IS a tethering hack for 3.1.2 however. It requires jailbreaking, but its as simple as downloading an "app".

To jailbreak run this utility for your OS with your Iphone Connected:

To get tethering working see this website:

Then your done.

gotta off-topic, but since you stated it i would love to know what you have heard about 3.1.2 being better tha 3.0.1. since im on 3.1.2 thx
 
Interesting that installing MyWi enables bluetooth and USB tethering on 3.1.2. I just found this out by mistake this morning, although I think I've seen threads about this in the past. Expensive way to go about it, but it works and it's a no brainer installation!

9.99 is expensive for something that can also broadcast as a hot spot for multiple people to use?? Sheesh, if 9.99 is alot, I can only imagine how you view $100.
