5S 8.3 + JB. One week ago averithing is ok, but now I can not use personal hotspot. If I use USB mode my macbook can not see the iphone (tried with another iphone - no problem). Also I tried wifi mode - macbook shows Iphone hotspot, but macbook can not get an IP from an iPhone -
%D0%A1%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BA%20%D1%8D%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0%202015-07-19%20%D0%B2%2012.11.20.png
. So I think that hotspot services died on the iPhone. How to fix that?

p.s. resetting network settings does not help

Did you update iTunes when you jailbroke?
A few years ago, Apple screwed something up in iTunes that broke USB tethering. You had to replace a file with one from an older version to get it to work. (I learned this from MyWi tech support) However, the current version (as of a few days ago) seems to have fixed it, at least for me. Maybe update iTunes again?

Do it anyway to see if it's a conflict between hacks.
Are you using a tethering hack or have tethering available from your carrier?
Ok, but there is a few tweaks (same as on another 5S)
No hacks, tethering avaliable from My carrier

I use 12.0.1.27 for JB, because newer version get stucks at 20%. But I did all the same as on second 5S and it works. So I do not think that iTunes caused that
 
I found the solution: "network-cmds" tweak should be installed (and full reboot after installing). With it - everything is ok.

But, one thing - I`m not sure that hotspot will work in USB mode. Now it is not. But it can be so. I will test it.
