IPHONE Tethering Tutorial

We wrote yesterday that iPhone OS 3.0 was rumored to support tethering, here are the instructions to set it up over Bluetooth:

1. Open the Terminal (It’s in /Applications/Utilities)
2. Type this line:
   ls ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support
3. You probably don’t have this folder. If you do, skip to step 6.
4. Type this in the Terminal:
   curl -s -L http://phobos.apple.com/version | grep -i carrier
5. This displays a long list of files. You need to find the appropriate file for your operator. Download this file.
6. Open your Downloads folder and find the bundle file you just downloaded. (Or if the folder existed already, the correct bundle file). Right click on it and select Show package contents.
7. Open Info.plist and change CFBundleVersion to 5.0. Save and exit.
8. Open version.plist and change the CFBundleVersion to 5.0. Save and exit.
9. Open carrier.plist
10. Find the array called apns, add a new dictionary with the following data:
    apn = internet
password = password
username = iphone
11. Find the array starting with wap and add a new pair. Don’t touch the username and password!
    type-mask = (NUMBER) -2
12. Go to the root of the dictionary and add this pair:
    AllowEDGEEditing = (BOOLEAN)
13. When you are done with all 3 files, go up in the Finder until you reach the .bundle file you downloaded. Right click on it and compress it. Rename this ZIP to ipcc.
14. Plug your iPhone on, option+click on the update button. Select the ipcc you just created. When your iPhone boots you will see Tethering in Settings / General / Network!
15. Pair your iPhone with your computer.
16. After you have done the pairing, click the B icon next to the clock to open the Bluetooth menu. Here you should see your iPhone. Click on it and choose Conect to Network.
17. Done!
