How to Tether on an iPhone 3G or 3GS running OS 3.1.2
When the iPhone OS 3.1 update rolled through town, it brought with it a handful of new features – but it also killed off one, not-so-official feature: unauthorized data tethering on AT&T.
Early this morning, the endlessly ingenious iPhone hacking community released Blacksn0w, a carrier unlock for the iPhone 3G and 3GS. Even if you have no need to plug in a different SIM card than what was originally intended, however, Blacksn0w still has its perks. Namely, it brings the aforementioned unauthorized data tethering right on back.
I've successfully Blackra1n'ed my iPhone 3Gs but it became somewhat unstable and finally forced itself into the recovery mode. For now I returned it to the factory setting and restored the data. Maybe I'd give it another try later.
