Tethering on 3.1.2 is now possible

[medicscott]

So I take it that all mentioned methods will require jail breaking? How else would you get access to cydia?

yes. the only way to get cydia is via JB your iphone.

and i have not heard of anyway to tether on att iphone if your not.

my next question is obvious. JB has been around for a while, what is the preferred way, pawning...? or Blackrain. Do I need to make a choice or do I just look at the sticky for JB follow directions then when finished complete the tether guide. my FW is 3.02. Thanks for the info!

here's another method

I just tried this and now my iphone rebooted to the apple then shuts off after 10 seconds. It will no longer turn on. Guess I will have to restore agaiin.

Sigh....

since your on a mac, i would use pwnagetool. goto dev-team blog site and d/l the PT and read up on how to use.

Use PwnageTool if you don't mind restoring / if your phone is unlocked using ultrasn0w and you want to keep it that way.

Use blackra1n if you already have 3.1.2 installed and don't want to loose anything. Blackra1n leaves your phone as is and just jailbreaks it.

BTW, I wrote up a tutorial for tethering on 3.1.2 a few days ago: http://appleguru.org/iPhoneTethering.html

Easy to follow, lots of pictures, and proper apns.

So does the blue bar with the words with internet tethering words come n when you connect to the iphone with the computer. I installed the package and can turn on internet tethering but I dont get a blue bar, but i havent connected to a computer.

As long as its turned on in the phone and you connect to a computer with iTunes, the blue bar shows up. I'm running Windows 7 x64 with iTunes 9.0.1.8.

I got it working, extremely easy to do! I'm using a 3G iPhone running 3.1.2 with a GoPhone sim. I used it to post this message via bluetooth tethering.

Has any one else got this to work running a 3GS and was blackra!n'd on 3.1.2? When I tried a similar patch Tuesday it hosed my iPhone and I had to restore/rejailbreak.
