Tethering still works the same with 5.5. But you no longer have access to the Cellular Data tab. In Networks.

Paulie

Oh so Cellular Data is tech-speak for tethering. If I am not doing any tethering at all will applying 5.5 to a Jailbroken 3GS running 3.01 lose any OTHER features?

Hmmmm. I'm a 3GS on 3.0.1 with 5.5 carrier and my tethering didn't change!?.

Did you guys get your tethering hack from here? http://help.benm.at/help.php

So can I or not update my 2g iPhone 3.0 to 5.2 or 5.5 ????

How do you setup tethering? I got 5.5 carrier to work running 3.0 on my 3GS!!! MMS is working

I installed the ATT mobileconfigsys from the link above and I also have MyWi. I had that before I upgraded to 5.5 and it's all still there and working. The only thing I lost was the cellular data field. The tethering field is still there.

If I were you on a 2G I would do the 5.2. My sons on a 2G and I have yet to get mms working as of last night. It's AT&T that's blocking him. And with the 5.2 you can access your APN settings if you need too.

ok I'm seeing a lot of mixed results. So i am on 5.1 and MMS working so far I have only confirmed sending I have not received. I'm on 3.0 3GS I don't want to lose tethering so which is best 5.2 or 5.5?

[traderstavros]

Strange, I tried to follow the directions on page 2 but when I shift-click the Update button I am not able to change the filetype to ipcc and when I force it by filename I get an error that it can't be done.

I haven't upgraded to itunes 9 yet, could this be the culprit or am I doing something retarded?

Does not work on jailbroken 3gs 3.0

I can't see the 5.5 APN settings so I can't say it's better. So beings there are people having issues with tethering on 5.5. I would recomend 5.2. I just may be the exception with tethering.

To do this you need to run this command line first on your PC Or MAC:

You can enable loading ipcc files in windows by typing the following command at the command line:

"%ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1


Mac - open a terminal and type in..
defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE

Ahh yes, I did this but misspelled Pref as Pre so even though it loaded I didn't realize it.

edit: Yay, now I'm getting an 'Iphone cannot be updated'

Time to work on this one.

[GunHo198]

Installing the mobilecofigsys file from the link I posted above reinstalled tethering on 5.5 on another users 3GS. Give it a try. You need to access the site and do the install of the tethering mobileconfigs file diectly through your iPhone.

Paulie

hers the link again: http://help.benm.at/help.php

don't do the mms one as you already have it working.

[littlenicky]

how do you get back that cellular data field using the 5.5 ipcc on a 3gs??

TIA

[GunHo198]

That I don't know. But if your on AT&T you really dint need to access it as the only reason was to edit the mms field. But if you swap between Tmobile and AT&T you may want to stay with 5.2.

Paulie

[littlenicky]

thanks. I'll just stick with this. I just thought it would make tethering easier.

I try to send an MMS and it gets like 90% of the way there and then just stops no matter how big or small the picture is...

oh and then "this message could not be sent" with red exclamation next to it

Are you on a 2G? AT&T didn't activate MMS on the 2G.

Go into settings/general/About and see what version of Carrier it list. Maybe your update didn't take effect? After you did the update did you sync with iTunes after? If not do that.
