With internet tethering enabled you can use iPhone internet connection on you desktop or notebook. Here is a quick tutorial<\/a> for experienced users. For everybody else – just wait for the new version<\/a> of PwnageTool or some other<\/a> utility.<\/p>\n

Here it is:<\/p>\n

A bsdiff patch to apply to CommCenter in 3.1.2 to re-enable tethering is available here for the 3GS<\/a><\/noindex> and here for the 3G<\/a><\/noindex>. It’s just a 2-byte patch as shown below (and an appropriate readjusting of the mach-o’s codesign hash):<\/p>\n

USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!<\/strong> Your carrier may end up charging you for unauthorized tethering access.<\/p>\n

Update #1<\/strong> It looks like a lot of people have been looking at CommCenter lately because IRC<\/acronym> user CleanAir<\/code> had a similar tethering patch. Meanwhile over in the 2G CommCenter, WhiteRat<\/code> and geniusan<\/code> have patched in native MMS support<\/a><\/noindex> for that platform. Kudos to CleanAir, WhiteRat, and geniusan for digging into CommCenter and coming up with patches!<\/p>\n

Update #2<\/strong> A few tutorials<\/a><\/noindex> have started to pop up. Eventually this will be made a part of the normal PwnageTool flow but for now this is best left for the adventurous users out there!<\/p>\n

bsdiff patches are the normal way that PwnageTool modifies Apple software.  To apply one manually, you must first get the \u201cbspatch\u201d program.  Then do:<\/p>\n
bspatch CommCenter CommCenter-hacked CommCenter.patch<\/pre>\n
If you don’t have bsdiff but know how to use a hex editor, the differences are available here<\/a><\/noindex> in text format.<\/p>\n
The correct SHA1 of the hacked file will be:<\/p>\n
1b19712035f33654cf72838ebe1a2033931b56b2   # 3GS\n063165c3fa3e21d30eb4b486fab924ba3ef0ea5e   # 3G<\/pre>\n
You would then remove the original program and replace it.  Don’t forget to ensure it has execute permission!<\/p>\n
chmod +x \/System\/Library\/PrivateFrameworks\/CoreTelephony.framework\/Support\/CommCenter<\/pre>\n
After you’ve started using the hacked CommCenter, visit http:\/\/www.benm.at\/help\/help.php<\/a><\/noindex> from your iPhone and install a new mobileconfig.<\/p>\n
