And AT&T claims tethering (meaning using your iPhone to connect other things to the net) isn't available yet, is also bullshit. There's a file you can download, guess I can post link if people want to know it, but don't hold me accountable. Basically creates a network profile and you can turn tethering on in the menu. Works on my laptop allright, still trying to get my wii online with it.

cool I'll check it out. Was just saying on the site you said to google it says it doesn't work on the 3.1.2

I'll check it all out tonight when I can sync up the iPhone and then do some playing.

Thanks again.

make sure you sync to backup your phone before you do this.
Also I believe if you put it into UDF mode (update firmware) it completly erases the phone/jailbreak/unlock, if you have something the shitty warrenty will cover

search SMS Mario on cydia after you install winterboard, winterboard is a must have to change the tones, slider, lockscreens etc. Most of the SMS sounds replace the "chime" tone, so to change it you need to select chime in the normal settings menu.
Mines out of warranty anyway so who cares. Just want to make sure I don't break the phone

This doesnt work on the newest FW, only 3.0.X FW. I would assume you are talking about the mobile configs downloaded from BenM. You would have to downgrade to older FW, but this is highly unlikely on an upgraded 3GS unless you have backed up certain files. Which, the easiest thing to do is download MyWi in Cydia from a jailbroken phone. This way you dont loose visual voicemail or other upgraded features from downloading an older FW.

OP, the simplest way I have found, is to simply download a custom firmware from modmyi, they have several to chose from. Once downloaded, in Itunes click Shift+Restore and select the CFW you downloaded, it will install it and you are done. I havent personally tried the blackra1n, but am getting a 3GS tonight and may have to use it depending on the FW installed on it. Hopefully Ill get lucky with some 3.0.X FW.

If you want I would do it for you, but I am not close, I am on the W side of Houston. I do all the hacking on my friends iPhones.

I am talking about tethering, not jailbreaking. You clicked the link for jailbreaking, what he was talking about the original way will not work. Download MyWi in Cydia to tether your jailbroken phone
