HOW TO: Get Free Tethering Without Jailbreaking Your iPhone

So you got that new shiny iPhone 4, and you got rid of your old device that was so easy to jailbreak and add tethering to? No MyWi? Don’t want to pay the extra “convenience” fee and lose your unlimited data package? We have an answer.

NOTE: this is really not a piece of cake if you have never played with xCode or your network settings before.

NOTE: you need to have a paid developer account or access to a developer who will register your device’s UDID in order to do this. Get creative, and get one. Either from eBay, forums or just get 4 friends and buy a dev account directly from Apple. ( 4 friends + you = 5 people – you do the math. The dev account costs $100 )

So you got that new shiny iPhone 4, and you got rid of your old device that was so easy to jailbreak and add tethering to? No MyWi? Don’t want to pay the extra “convenience” fee and lose your unlimited data package? We have an answer. Now its not a one click gets it done. But it will get it done. You’ll need a couple of things, but not really hard to find things. You either need to have or have access to a paid Developer account so that you can sign a built app and install it on a device. If you’re a developer, you already have xCode, and you know how to deploy an app onto a device. And the actual tethering part we will be showing you on a Mac, but I’m sure its not much different on a PC, we just don’t have one to do it on.

iPhone OS 3.0 Episode I: HowTo Enable Internet Tethering

A short and sweet tutorial on how to enable internet Tethering on iPhone FW 3.0 beta


1. Navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support. Notice the spaces in that last folder name! If you’re at the command line, use backslashes to escape the spaces, i.e. cd ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone\ Carrier\ Support. You will find a file with an ipcc extension.Copy that file: e.g. cp foo.ipcc foo.ipcc.original. This creates a backup if you mess up.

2. Rename the ipcc extension to zip. For me that was ATT_US.ipcc renamed to ATT_US.zip. Unzip it. This creates a new folder called Payload.

3. Navigate into Payload and then into the folder under that. Mine was called ATT_US.bundle. Yours will differ. Inside that folder you will find three files that you will edit: Info.plist, version.plist, and carrier.plist. Open all three.

4. In Info.plist, change the CFBundleVersion to 5.0. Save.

5. In the version.plist, change the CFBundleVersion to 5.0. Save.

6. In carrier.plist do the following and then save:

  • Add a new dictionary to the apns array:
  • apn = internet
    password = password
    username = iphone

  • In the wap dictionary (mine is wap.cingular, sts’s was wap.dol.ie), add a new pair.
    Do not edit the password or username: type-mask = (NUMBER) -2
  • Add a new pair at the top level dictionary of the carrier.plist file. (We’re not
    sure this is strictly speaking necessary but go ahead and do it.): AllowEDGEEditing
    = (BOOLEAN) YES

7. Zip up the Payload folder in which you just made your edits. Rename it to the same name as the original ipcc file. (For me that was ATT_US.ipcc).

8. Connect your iPhone to iTunes.

9. In the Summary tab, option-click “Check for Update”. Navigate to your ipcc file, select it. It takes no more than a second or two to update.

10. Reboot your iPhone.

11. In prefs (on the phone) navigate to Settings > General > Network.

12. Turn on tethering!
