Well, in anticipation of the hopefully upcoming 4.1 jailbreak I'm going to go ahead and ask. When the jailbreak is released and I update to the 4.1 firmware will I have to redo the commcenter hack? I wasn't sure exactly how that all worked so I figured I would go ahead and ask!
Got a tip for us?

You will indeed need to redo the commcenter hack, but be careful not to apply the same hack you used with 4.0.1, as the files will most likely be different.
Even if you try to install the patch, it won't let you:
# dpkg -i ccp401_1.1-3_wortel.deb
Selecting previously deselected package cocenosig401.
(Reading database ... 1131 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking cocenosig401 (from ccp401_1.1-3_wortel.deb) ...

I believe I have everything set up right but still can't tether. The toggle is on my phone and the blue bar comes up but usage stays at 0 and nothing loads. I'm on a PC running Windows XP. It says it is connected in the network connections but nothing happens. Any advice?
It looks like the reports coming in are saying that tetherme is working on 4.1. Since it is basically the same thing as the commcenter hack, does this mean that the patch used for the commcenter hack will be good to go for 4.1?? Has anyone tried it yet??
If you google "commcenter patch 4.1" you'll find a link for the appropriate patch. Download that and then follow the same steps on the first post of this thread. Worked perfectly for me.
Thanks! I googles it and found it, but all it mentions is the 3G/3GS. Would it be the same for the iPhone 4??
Tethering via USB works, but I can't seem to get Bluetooth to work. When I set the Mac's Bluetooth to be discoverable, the iPhone 4 doesn't see it. If I initiate from the Mac, everything looks like it's going to work, but the pairing always fails. I've tried with 2 different Macs, and I have the same problem.
Any thoughts?

Here's the link to Wortel's thread on 4.1 and the file:

I finally updated to 4.1 and jailbroke my iphone 4 with limera1n. After installing all my packages back I decided that Id go ahead and do the commcenter hack again. I had it when I was jb on 4.0.1. Well, everything went good until the first network reset and I ended up in safe mode. Well, a few more resets later the tethering option finally worked. Well, now I have no data connection. Every now and then edge will pop up for half a second but as soon as you try and go to a website it immediately goes away and I get the "no internet connection" message. Any ideas??

Error trying to overwrite /usr/CommPatch/CC-3G
Hi, I have two iphone 4's, both with 4.1 and jailbroken with limera1n, one has 01.59.00 and on that one everything worked perfect, the other one has 02.10.04, and on that one I get this error:
error dpkg: error processing ccp4.1-4_wortel.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/CommPatch/CC-3G', which is also in package cocenosig401
I have looked far and wide for a fix but have not found any. Both phones are on AT&T. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!

I previously had this hack installed on 4.0.1 and just jailbroke to 4.1. Unfortunately, I can't get it to install on 4.1. I can't get past step 7 (ssh). Below is what terminal says once I try to enter "dpkg -i /var/tmp/ccp4.1-4_wortel.deb"
root@10.0.1.18's password:
sh-4.0# dpkg -i /var/tmp/ccp4.1-4_wortel.deb
dpkg: error processing /var/tmp/ccp4.1-4_wortel.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/tmp/ccp4.1-4_wortel.deb
Anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? The error says no such file or directory but I double-checked and the file "ccp4.1-4_wortel.deb" is in /var/tmp

Working w/ 4.1 on 3GS
Well I feel stupid. Uninstalled PDAnet and it started working like a champ for me, thanks for the reality check.
I'm running on a 3GS (iOS:4.1, BB:05.13.04)

crashes on tether
after editing my carrier.plist to use type-mask 53 for the wap entry, and after two network resets, i was able to get the tethering panel up.
however, when i plug it (usb) into my mac after a second or two the iphone flashes white and then i get the apple logo. seems to have crashed. the crashes loop until i unplug the usb cable.
also disabling tethering prevents the crashing on usb connection.
exactly the same thing happens with tetherme.
tried removing ultrasn0w, but still same.
anyone else experience this?
i'm on a iphone 3g with 4.1 via pwnagetool from 4.0.1 via jailbreakme.

not at all!
There is something very tricky and hard to solve about the effects of 4.1/commcenter patch/carrier account type(possible)
I unlock/jailbreak a lot of iPhones for friends and referrals. I am in the midwest USA region with T-Mobile. My girlfriend and I both run i4 with 4.1, commcenter patch, and Tmobile standard ipcc bundle. Since the commcenter patch our phones have never run so well on T-Mobile. It clearly makes the phone function as if tmobile native.
BUT...
Several phones I have done for others have inexplicable problems, such as:
-rapid battery drain
-inability to receive SMS (until a phone is made - then they pour in)
-somtimes inability to receive calls.
This is no matter wether an i4, 3G, or 3GS, that I have updated to Pwnage 4.1 with pre-installed ultrasn0w and commcenter patch. This has happened mostly on tmobile accounts with the $10 "basic phone" data package, but also has happened with smartphone data package. This has happened to a husband/wife with both the same shared accounts on BOTH phones (3GS and i4) and has happened to a different couple with same accounts on ONE PHONE but not the other (3G and 3GS).
I can ONLY trace this to a 4.1 issue. Any of these people/phones with issues can be downgraded to 4.0.1 or 3.1.3 and will have no more of the strange problems. I absolutely cannot say it is certainly the commcenter patch, a model specific issue, or a Tmobile account type issue. I have worked with hundreds of iPhones and every jailbreak/unlock/hack since they iArrival and have never seen such problems.
This is driving me absolutely NUTS. I have spoke to upper level iPhone techs and they have never heard of such a thing.
Does anyone out there have any clue about this or experience with it?
Is the patch on the first page for 4.1 for 4.1 with the 2.10 baseband or the 1.59? Does it matter??I had upgraded to 4.1 a few weeks back and had some issues with it so I just downgraded back to 4.0.1. The thought that the 4.1 patch might require the new baseband just hit me and that is not something I want to do(upgrade baseband) I hope this makes sense to someone other then me!
crashing on thether
similar issue as yee379. I have a 3G. For me when I was on 4.01 with Jailbreakme JB and followed these instructions tethering worked fine.
Recently upgraded to 4.1 and JB again this time with pwnagetool. Followed the instructions again to get tethering and after a couple of network resets tethering appeared on the phone.
When I try to connect via bluetooth or usb the phone crashes. I copied the carrier.plist rather than edit
