What is iPhoneModem

iPhoneModem enables sharing of the iPhone’s Internet connection with your Mac or PC.

It’s a simple and small footprint application for the iPhone and the Desktop Computer that anyone can use on a few seconds.

iPhoneModem is available for Jailbreaked devices using the cydia package manager on the phone.

To make connecting a one click task, you should also download the helper application for your computer.

How does it work

iPhoneModem has two sides: the Modem application on the iPhone and the iPhoneModem helper for the Mac or the PC.

On the computer, the helper application creates a new computer-to-computer (or ad-hoc) WiFi network and configures the system preferences to use the iPhone as an Internet gateway and proxy.

On the iPhone, the application opens a routing engine, DHCP, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS proxies and connects to the helper on the computer.

How to Install

1. Jailbreak the iPhone (if you haven’t already)

2. On the iPhone use “Cydia” to install iPhoneModem – it’s filed on the Networking category. After installing a new App named “Modem” should be available on the iPhone.

3. Download and install the helper application.

How to Use it

After installing iPhoneModem on the phone and on the computer, open the iPhoneModem on the computer and click “connect”.

A new WiFi network is created by the computer and, on the iPhone you should select it and open the “Modem” application. When connected everything should be automatically configured

Here is an updated guide how to tether your iPhone running OS 3.1.2.

At the iPhone OS 3.0 event held earlier this week, Apple execs let it slip that tethering is a feature of the new OS. Apple has done their part, now, it was up to the carriers to enable it on their end. Well, you know, we just couldn’t wait. Here is a detailed guide as to how to enable tethering on an Phone 3G via USB. Bluetooth in 3.0 has some connection issues that I haven’t been able to get around as yet.

Disclaimer: MyAppleGuide is not responsible for any charges incurred as a result of this install. We are also not responsible for any damage to your hardware or software. 

With that said, let’s dive in!

What I’m using: iTunes 8.2, iPhone OS 3.0, MacBook Pro Unibody 15″, connection cable. 

To enable tethering, please have iTunes 8.2 installed along with the iPhone 3.0 OS. 

Before you proceed, open Terminal (Applications>Utilities>Terminal) and type the following:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE

Step 1

Update your carrier settings. Download this file.  With your iPhone connected, in iTunes, Option+click on “Check for Updates” and update using the downloaded file. (FiIe courtesy of Joachim Bean)

Step 2

On Your iPhone, go to Settings>General>Network and turn on Internet Tethering

Step 3

Quit iTunes, and disconnect and reconnect your iPhone. You will see the following prompt when it is reconnected:

Open Network Preferences and Apply the new settings.

Your iPhone should now have a blue color and displaying tethering at top. If you have any questions, let me know. 

Step One
Make a folder called “Pwnage” on the desktop. In it, you will need a couple of things. Pwnage 2.2, found here or here

You will also need the 2.2 iPhone firmware.
2.2.0 (3G): iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw

When downloading the IPSW file, it is best to download it with Firefox!

Step Two
Double click to mount PwnageTool 2.2 then drag the PwnageTool icon into the Pwnage folder.

Then from the Pwnage folder double click to launch the PwnageTool application

 Click Ok if presented with a warning.

Step Three
Click to select Expert Mode from the top menu bar

Step Four

Click to select your iPhone. A check-mark will appear over the image of the phone. 

Remember the rules for them: RGB or Grayscale format with Alpha channel and dimension bellow 320×480… 

When prompted if your iPhone has been Pwned before, we clicked No. It allows for a more thorough restore.

Step Five
Click the blue arrow button to continue. You will be brought to the “Browse for IPSW” page. On my laptop

 

 Step Six
You will then be brought to a menu with 7 choices. Click to select General then click the blue arrow button.

The General settings allows you to decide the partition size. Click activate the phone and Disable partition wipe-out. Click the blue arrow button.

, it automatically found the IPSW. If PwnageTool doesn’t automatically find the ipsw file you can click Browse for IPSW….  

 

 

Click to select the found IPSW file, a checkmark will appear next to it. Then click the blue arrow button to continue.

 

NOTE*: Deselect Activate if you have an iPhone legitimately activated on an official carrier.
NOTE*: You may need to increase the size of the root partition slightly. My first attempt failed at creating the IPSW until I increased the size to about 695 MB.

The Bootneuter settings are greyed out for the3G iPhone. Hopefully this will be enabled soon! Click the blue arrow button.

The Cydia settings menu allows you to create custom packages so you do not have to manually install the necessary them later.

Click to select the Download packages tab. Then click the Refresh button to display all the available packages. Double clicking the package you want will download it and make it available in the Select Packages tab.

Checkmark the ones you want then Click the blue arrow button.

The Custom Packages Settings menu displays listed package settings for your custom IPSW. For know leave these settings as is. Click the blue arrow button to continue.

The Custom Logos Settings menu allows you to add your own images as boot logos. Click the Browse button to select your Boot logo and Recovery logo.

Remember the rules for them: RGB or Grayscale format with Alpha channel and dimension bellow 320×480…

Click the blue arrow button to continue.

Step Seven
You are now ready to begin the pwnage process! Click the Build button to select it then click the Blue arrow button to begin.

Step Eight
You will be asked to save your custom .ipsw file. Save it to your Pwnage folder you created on your Desktop.

Your IPSW is not being built. Please allow up to 10 minutes.

You will be asked to enter your administrator password. Do this then click the OK button.

When prompted if your iPhone has been Pwned before, we clicked No. It allows for a more thorough restore.

You will be asked to turn off the device. Make sure it is connected to the USB port.

Step Nine
Be ready to follow directions now. It will ask you to hold the home button and the power button for 10 seconds. Then, you will have to release the power button and hold the home button for 10 seconds to enter DFU.

If you fail, it will show you a message. Click Yes. Unplug the iPhone from the USB. Turn it off, then turn it back on. Plug it back into the USB and turn off the iPhone when prompted.

When done correctly, Pwnage 2.2 will display a message telling your that it successfully entered DFU mode. iTunes

will also pop-up.  

Step Ten
In iTunes, hold the Alt/Option button and click Restore.

You will be asked to turn off the device. Make sure it is connected to the USB port

IMPORTANT***: The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode, it is possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> 2.2 but going from stock to Pwned does not work, if in any doubt use a different machine. Meaning, if you have a late 2008 model MacBook and have not pwned you will have to use a different computer until we post a solution. If you have a late 2008 model MacBook and HAVE pwned then you can simply put the iPhone into recovery mode and restore with the newly created IPSW. You can find instructions on how to put the iPhone into recovery mode here

Step Eleven
Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop using the dialog window that appears. Select the custom IPSW that was created (iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Custom_Restore.ipsw) and click the Open button.

Step Twelve
iTunes will now restore the firmware on your iPhone. This can also take up to 10 minutes.

If you so desire you may restore from a previous backup to keep all your settings or set your iPhone up fresh.

Step Thirteen
Once the restore is completed your iPhone will reboot and you will notice Cydia is present on the SpringBoard!

 

 

 

These are instructions on how to unlock/jailbreak your 2G iPhone to the 2.2 iPhone firmware using QuickPwn for Windows. Before beginning make sure you have updated to iTunes

Extract the QuickPwn22.zip file

Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the 2.2 firmware ipsw. Click the Open button to continue.

Step Five

Click the Browse button to locate your iPhone firmware.

Select the 2.2 firmware ipsw from the Pwnage folder on your desktop then click the Open button.

Step Eight
You can now select whether to Add Cydia, Add Installer, Replace Boot Logos, and Unlock Phone. Select the ones you would like to perform then click the clue arrow button

Step Three

 

Step Six

Step Seven
QuickPwn will check to make sure the ipsw is valid. Click the blue arrow button to continue.

 

Step Nine
You will now be asked to select your bootloader files. Click the Browse button and select the 3.9 bootloader from the Pwnage folder on your desktop. Likewise do the same thing for the 4.6 bootloader file. Then click the blue arrow button to continue.

 

 

Step Ten
QuickPwn will now ask you to confirm your iPhone is connected via USB before continuing. Click the blue arrow button to proceed.

Step Eleven

QuickPwn will now automatically put your iPhone into recovery mode. Once its in recovery mode you will be prompted to: Hold the Home button for 5 seconds, Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds, then release the Power button and continuing holding the Home button until your iPhone is in DFU mode.

Step Twelve
Once QuickPwn detects your iPhone in DFU mode it will begin the jailbreak process.

 

Watch the prompts carefully and follow along.

 

Step Thirteen

Once jailbreaking is complete QuickPwn will inform you that it was successfull. Your iPhone will then proceed to run BootNeuter. This process will take about 5 minutes. Please be patient. Your iPhone will reboot when it has completed the process successfully!

 

 

These are instructions on how to software unlock the iPhone 3G for use with any GSM cellphone carrier.

**Before you can follow these instructions you must have a jailbroken iPhone and you must be on the 02.28.00 baseband(modem

firmware). This means that you must be running the 2.2 firmware. If you used PwnageTool to update to 2.2 from 2.1 you will have to rejailbreak using a QuickPwn jailbreak tutorial for the time being. **

To find your firmware and modem firmware(baseband) versions you can follow the following steps:
Step One
Press to launch Settings from your Springboard.
Step Two
Press to select General from the Settings Menu.
Step Three
Press to select About from the General Settings Menu.
Step Four
From the about screen you can find your firmware version under the Version label. Scroll down and you can find your baseband version under the Modem Firmware label.

Press the Install button at the top right of the screen.


Step Twelve
Press the Confirm button at the top right of the screen.



Step Thirteen
After installation completes successfully press the large Return to Cydia button.



Step Fourteen
Now press the Home button then power off and power on the iPhone. You do this by holding down the power button for 3 seconds then moving the power slider that appears to the right. Press the power button again to turn on the phone.

Step Fifteen
You should now be able to insert the SIM of your choice!

***HINTS: It seems that getting your iPhone to pick up your new carrier can be helped by turning off 3G and perhaps toggling the Airplane Mode switch on and off. If you are still having problems try removing and reinserting the SIM or booting with the new SIM already inside. Finally, you can also try to Reset Network Settings from the Settings:General:Reset Menu.

***IMPORTANT: For those having trouble. The yellowsn0w application can simply be uninstalled. If you have tried all the hints and suggestions and still have problems just use Cydia to remove the package and then reboot. You will then have service with your locked carrier as always.

***THANKS: A big thank you to all the members of the iPhone Dev-Team for all their hard work! It is much appreciated by all.

***UPDATES: The Dev-Team has made the following updates…
1. Soon you’ll see yellowsn0w 0.9.1 in the repos. It uses a much longer delay to let your SIM card initialize. If you have problems with 0.9.0, try this one and wait a full minute after you see homescreen, then reinsert sim card. We need both success and failure reports to tune this across the world, so please be patient (but please also report result!)
2. If you are in the U.S. and are trying this with T-Mobile, you must turn off the 3G switch in Settings. Also if you are good with the command line, you can make it much easier by adding the line -q right after the /usr/bin/yellowsn0w line in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.iphone-dev.yellowsn0w.plist (that’s and advanced tip, hopefully someone will make a boosprefs type of tool for it)
3. No PIN support yet. Remember how we said this was beta? Well we’re still working out the flow for SIMs with PINs enabled. Please disable any PIN you may have on that SIM before trying yellowsn0w, for now..

 

Walkthrough

1. Download Boss Prefs from Cydia (see this Tutorial for help)

Boss Prefs is a great program that easily lets you enable and disable certain functions on your iPhone. Some of the built in features it supports are:

• 3G Data on/off
• Edge Data on/off
• WiFi on/off
• Bluetooth on/off
• SSH on/off

Boss Prefs also lets you create custom toggles, which we will be doing in this tutorial.

2. Download 3proxy from Cydia

3proxy is a command line program that will let you use your iPhone’s internet connection to browse the web from your laptop (or other WiFi connected device).

  NOTE: If you can’t find 3proxy in Cydia it’s likely because you have selected “User” when Cydia asked “Who Are You?” In order to make 3proxy appear in the list of available applications you will need to change this to “Developer”.

1. Tap Manage
2. Tap Settings (top left)
3. Tap Developer (no filters)

Now go back to search and type 3proxy and the application should be visible.

 3. Create a Custom Toggle For 3proxy in Boss Prefs

• Open Boss Prefs
• Tap Config (top left)

 Tap Add (top right)

• Fill In Information for Custom Toggle
• Tap Save (top right)

The start, stop, and process fields are CASE-SENSITIVE, make sure to type the following exactly as I have it:

Name:
NetShare

Start:
/usr/bin/socks &

Stop:
killall socks

Process:
socks

 Setting up your computer to use the proxy

Mac Users:

1. Create an Ad-Hoc WiFi Connection

First, we need to create a private WiFi connection between our computer and the iPhone. Click the airport icon in the toolbar at the top of the screen and choose ‘Create Network’.

When prompted type the name of your network. We’ll use ‘iPhone NetShare’ so we can easily identify our network on the phone.

Leave all other settings at default and click ‘OK’

2. Join iPhone to Ad-hoc Network

We now need to have our iPhone join the same network so it’s visible from the computer. On the iPhone goto Settings -> WiFi and select our newly created ‘iPhone NetShare’ network from the list.

After joining the network (check mark next to the name), then we can tap the blue arrow to the right of the network to enter some custom address settings.

1. Tap Blue Arrow
2. Tap ‘Static’ at top of settings page
3. Enter 10.10.10.10 for IP Address
4. Enter 255.255.255.0 for Subnet Mask
5. Press Home button to return to springboard

3. Set Address Settings on Computer

Now we need to put our computer on the same network as the iPhone so we will need to give it similar manual settings.

Click on the WiFi icon in the toolbar, and ‘Open Network Preferences’ at the bottom

Let’s create a new connection profile for using NetShare. This will keep you from having to go back and changing your settings whenever you get back home and want to use your original WiFi.

Click the ‘+’ at the bottom of the connection profiles to add a new service
Leave Interface set to ‘AirPort’ and type in ‘iPhone NetShare’ for your Service Name

Select your new service from the list of profiles on the left, and choose the ‘Advanced’ button on the bottom right screen.

1. Click TCP/IP tab
2. Change “Configure IPv4″ dropdown to ‘Manually’
3. Enter 10.10.10.1 in IP Address
4. Enter 255.255.255.0 in Subnet Mask
5. Click Proxies tab
6. Check the box next to Socks
7. Enter 10.10.10.10 in Socks Proxy Server box
8. Enter 1080 in Port (box after the ‘:’)

4. Turn on NetShare in Boss Prefs

Tap Boss Prefs on the SpringBoard and set the NetShare toggle to ON

NOTE: NetShare will remain on even if you close Boss Prefs, so remember after you are done using the connection come back to Boss Prefs and turn the NetShare toggle to OFF to keep unwanted people from using your connection.
