iPhoneModem – Share the iPhone Internet Connection with your Computer.

freelance — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:02:44 +0000

Helper App:

iPhoneModem’s right hand is an Helper App for the Mac or the PC that automatically configures your computer and re-configures it back when you disconnect.

Download iPhoneModem Helper application to provide one-click connectivity.

For Macintosh: Click Here

For Windows: Click Here

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

How-To Screenshots:

Step 1: Open on the mac and click connect

Step 2: WiFi network created

Step 3 : Open on iPhone

Step 4: Open a web browser and surf on

Samsung A920 Sprint PCS phone : Make a mobile wifi hotspot on your Mac

freelance — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:36:15 +0000

This post describes how to use your Bluetooth- and Airport-enabled Mac with your Bluetooth-enabled Sprint PCS phone to set up a mobile wifi access point. Meaning, you can put your iBook in your car or backpack, put your phone in your pocket, and give free wifi internet access to anyone who happens to be in the area. (Of course, you will also be able to access the internet yourself all the while.)

These instructions assume you are using Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and a Samsung A920, the official phone of Sprint Ambassadors everywhere. But they should apply to any Sprint phone with Bluetooth that is capable of being a data modem and/or using their Power Vision service. Non-ambassadors will have to navigate the labyrinth of Sprint customer service and get “phone-as-modem” service added to their plan. Once you’ve gotten that taken care of, please continue…

Summary for experienced people

Details are below, but if you know what you’re doing and just want to do it quickly:

1. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone.

2. Pair your phone with your Mac.

3. In the PPP configuration for Bluetooth in Network preferences, leave the username and password blank and use this phone number: #777

4. In Sharing preferences, go to the Internet pane and turn on Internet Connection Sharing for Bluetooth, allowing AirPort devices to connect.

5. Back in PPP, click “Dial Now…”. You should be all set. By default, your SSID will be your computer’s name.

6. If you need a detailed step-by-step, continue reading…

First, set up the phone

1. Press “Menu/OK”.

2. Select “Settings”.

3. Scroll down and select “Bluetooth” and press OK.

4. If Bluetooth is disabled, click OK on to enable it.

5. Set “Visibility” to “Always visible”. (This is optional and not very secure, but it might make things easier later.)

6. Select “Device Name” and enter a nice name for your phone. This is the name other Bluetooth devices (like your Mac) will display when connecting to your phone. (I have found in other contexts that choosing a one-word name can reduce errors.)

Connect your Mac to your phone via Bluetooth

1. Open System Preferences.

2. In the Hardware section, click Bluetooth.

3. In the Settings pane, make sure it says Bluetooth is on. Other than that, it doesn’t matter much what is selected.

4. In the Devices pane [screenshot], click “Setup New Device”.

5. The Bluetooth Setup Assistant wizard will start. Click “Continue” and select “Mobile phone” from the list of device types.

6. The wizard will scan the airwaves looking for Bluetooth devices. When you see the name of your phone, select it and click “Continue”.

7. After a few seconds of “gathering information,” the wizard will prompt you to click “Continue” to continue. Do so.

8. Your computer will display a “passkey”, a number you have to type into your phone to “pair” the phone with your Mac. [screenshot]

9. Your phone will prompt you to accept the pair. Press “Accept”.

10. Enter the passkey into your phone and press OK. If you wait too long, the connection will time out, and you’ll probably have to go back in the wizard and get a new passkey.

11. Once the pairing has taken place, click “Continue” to continue.

12. Make sure “Access the internet with your phone’s data connection” is checked.

13. Click “Continue”.

14. Here’s the important part: You will be prompted to enter connection settings. Leave “Username” and “Password” blank. In “Phone Number”, enter #777. For “Modem Script”, select “Sprint PCS Vision”. [screenshot]

15. Optionally, select the checkboxes to show Bluetooth and Modem status in the menu bar.

16. Click “Continue”.

17. Click “Quit”.

Connect to the Internet

At this point, you might want to turn off Airport and/or unplug your network cable, so that when you connect to the internet via the phone, you’ll be sure you are connected via the phone. (After it’s all set up, you can turn Airport back on.) In the meantime, here’s how to get connected:

1. Open System Preferences. (Or click “Show All” if your Bluetooth panel is still active.)

2. In the Network & Internet section, choose “Network”.

3. In the dropdown labeled “Show”, select “Bluetooth”.

4. In the “PPP” pane, make sure “Account Name” and “Password” are blank, and that “Telephone Number” is #777.

5. In the “Bluetooth Modem” pane, make sure the Modem dropdown says “Sprint PCS Vision”, and (optionally) check all checkboxes. Now you’re ready to connect to the internet.

6. Go back to the “PPP” pane, and click “Dial Now…” An “Internet Connect” dialog box will appear. Make sure the Bluetooth pane is showing. [screenshot]

7. Click “Connect”. The modem status in the menu bar will read “Connecting…” and your phone will say “Connected as data modem to [your computer name]“. You are connected! A timer on the phone will show the duration of your connection.

8. Open a web browser on your computer to confirm that you are connected.

Share your internet connection via AirPort

Now you are ready to share your connection to the internet with other users. To do so:

1. Turn AirPort back on if you turned it off earlier.

2. Return to System Preferences. (Click “Show All” if you are still on your Network settings.)

3. In “Internet & Network”, click “Sharing”.

4. Go to “Internet” pane. [screenshot]

5. In the dropdown labeled “Share your connection from”, select “Bluetooth”.

6. In the “To computers using” area, select “AirPort”.

7. Click “AirPort options” to make sure encryption is not turned on and/or to change the name of the access point (SSID) that your Mac will broadcast .

8. Click “Start” to start sharing your internet connection via wifi.

9. You may get a message saying this conflicts with your firewall setting, as Personal Web Sharing must be turned on (for some reason) to share your internet connection. If there’s a dialog, click “Show Services” or directly open the “Services” pane in Sharing (which partially controls your firewall), and activate “Personal Web Sharing” service. Note that this will make the “Sites” folder in your home directory available via your network connection. (If someone can explain to me why Personal Web Sharing has to be turned on in order to share your internet connection, I’d love to hear it. If it’s just to open the port, couldn’t they do that without firing up your web server?)

10. That’s it! You’re connected and you’re sharing your connection. You might want to test it with another wifi device to make sure it can connect. (By default, your Mac will broadcast its name as the the name of the access point (SSID)).

How to Tether on an iPhone 3G or 3GS running OS 3.1.2

freelance — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:06:37 +0000

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.

Samsung SCH-U740 :Free DUN Via Bluetooth On Verizon Wireless Phone (MAC)

freelance — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:29:57 +0000

I am using a Samsung SCH-U740 phone and will be connecting to my mac running OSX 10.5: Leopard using Bluetooth. Connection via serial/usb cable should be similar, just skip the bluetooth pairing step. I have also used this hack on Tiger, and the steps should be easy to translate if you are familiar with Tiger’s Network preferences. Here we go.

1. Pair your phone with your Mac via Bluetooth Setup Assistant. When it asks you which services you would like to use with your phone, you don’t have to check any of them.

2. Set your phone to use 1x data only, not EVDO. On my phone I do this by highlighting “tools” in my menu and pressing “#”. Then, I enter “000000″ as the password, select “Pref Mode”, and change it to “CDMA Only.”

3. Open Terminal and type “cd ../../etc/ppp”. Press enter. now type “sudo pico”. Press enter, type your password, and press enter again. Now, type “refuse-chap”, press return, type “refuse-mschap”, press return, then type “refuse-mschap-v2″. Press Control+X. Press Y to save. Type “options” and press enter. Close Terminal.

4. Go to Network in System Preferences and click the “+” to add a new Network Connection. Set Interface to Bluetooth and type a descriptive name in the other field.

5. Use the Default configuration with the following credentials. Telephone Number: “#777″, Account Name: “#########@vzw3g.com” replace the pound with your phone number, password:”vzw”

6. Click Advanced. Change Vendor to Other and Model to Verizon Support (PC 5220). Also, change the Dial Mode to Ignore dial tone when dialing. Click OK. Now Apply your new network configuration by clicking Apply.

7. Click connect. You are good to go, like a Crunch Wrap Supreme. To make it easier for next time, just check “Show modem status in menu bar” and you can connect anytime from the menu bar.

Now you can take a little back from what Verizon steals from you every month. I have been using this “underground” service for quite some time and I will testify that it is free and I have never been charged one cent but I will also admit that sometimes it will work a little sparatically. But hey, internet anywhere? It’s like free nationwide wi-fi.

IMPORTANT UPDATE/EDIT: If you are receiving the error: “Internet Connect Could not open the communication device” immediately after trying to connect, then do this for step 5.

1. Click “Set Up Bluetooth Device.”

2. Highlight your phone and click the little gear in the bottom left and click “Configure this device…”

3. When Bluetooth Setup Assistant is done loading, this time check the box that says “Access the Internet with your phone’s data connection” and press continue.

4. Enter the information listed in steps 5 and 6 and click Continue.

5. Now try and connect.

Tether A Verizon BlackBerry 8300 As A Modem To A Mac Via Bluetooth

freelance — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:44:17 +0000

My Current Setup And Cost To Connect

As with any technical How-Tos, it needs to be stated upfront what different types of equipment, services and resources that I am working with so that you know that this is the information that you are looking for.

For this How-To, I am using:

A MacBook that is running Mac OSX 10.5.2
A BlackBerry 8300 that has a data plan
Verizon Wireless as my mobile carrier

I will be giving you some links and information on other carriers, etc. but this is the setup that I am using for this particular example. Feel free to comment on this below with any other carrier specific questions that you may have and hopefully I can point you in the right direction.

Also, you should also know that connecting through your Verizon BlackBerry will cost you an additional $15 per month(much cheaper than a Verizon Card), with a 5 gigbyte throughput limit(which is a lot). After I connected I was taken to a Verizon Wireless website that allowed me to accept the extra $15 per month charge and then I was off surfing – it’s honestly as easy as that!

What Is Tethering And Why Do It?

On Wikipedia tethering is described as ‘the connection of a non-mobile device (e.g. desktop computer, notebook computer, laptop computer), to a mobile device (e.g. cell phone, PDA) for the purpose of wireless Internet access by the non-mobile “tethered” device.’ Tethering has become a fairly popular way to get access to the Internet from laptops, computers and other devices by piggy-backing on the Internet connection of some type of mobile device.

I considered this option because tethering is not only a simple way to grab a quick Internet connection, but it’s also pretty handy considering that I am never without my cell phone. Not to mention that it’s pretty cheap, too when compared to other ways to connect such as purchasing WI-FI cards or monthly subscription services.

Pairing Up Your BlackBery To Your Mac Via Bluetooth

Since I am going to tell you how to tether your BlackBerry to your Mac through a Bluetooth connection the first thing that you need to do first is pair up your two devices. Here is how you set up each of the devices so that they can find and connect to each other:

Turning on Bluetooth for your Mac:

1. Go to the System Preferences application

2. Under the Internet & Network section, click on Network

3. Click on the Bluetooth option in the left sidebar

4. Click the Set Up Bluetooth Device… button in the options on the right side of the menu

5. Click on the + button on the bottom left side of the Bluetooth device list menu, this will take you to the Bluetooth Setup Assistant – click Continue to move to the next menu screen

6. Select the Mobile phone option from the list of possible Bluetooth devices

7. At this point your Mac will attempt to locate your BlackBerry, so you will need to make to turn your BlackBerry’s Bluetooth On and make it ‘findable’ so that it can be paired to your Mac. You will first need to go to your Manage Connections option on your BlackBerry. On mine, it is a white antenna in the middle of a red Circle.

8. This will bring up some connection settings that are available on your BlackBerry. Check the blue box next to Bluetooth to turn on your Bluetooth connection.

9. Now that your Bluetooth is on, you now need to make it findable by your Mac. You can do this by clicking on Set Up Bluetooth option in the menu options. This will bring up the Add Device menu on your BlackBerry.

10. Select the Allow another device to find me option so that your Mac can locate and pair up with your Blackberry.

11. Once this is selected, your Mac will now be able to find your BlackBerry and will connect to it. You should see your Blackberry model appear in the list once it is found by your Mac. Click Continue to move to the next step.

12. The nest step is where your Mac will gather up information about your BlackBerry. Click Continue to move to the next step.

13. In the next step you are asked whether or not you would like to Access the Internet with your phone’s data connection. You definitely would like to do this, so be sure to check this box and click Continue to move to the next step.

14. Next you will need to enter in the specific login information for for your carrier so that your Mac can have the proper permission to use the connection. I had no idea that you had to do this step when I was researching, but I found this awesome BlackBerry forum that gave me the correct into. For a Verizon BlackBerry like I have the info is Username: yourphonenumber@vzw3.com (if you have 3G on your phone, the email might be yourphonenumber@vzw3g.com) Password: vzw Phone Number: #777. Enter in this information along with your Phone Vendor and Phone Model(I selected ‘other’ and it filled in my phone model with ‘Verizon Support (PC 5220)’ which worked for me). Click Continue to move to the final step where you’re congratulated on your new connection.

15. After this is all set up, you then need to go back to your the Network menu and turn off your AirPort before you can connect via Bluetooth.

16. Finally, once the AirPort is turned off, you can then click on the Bluetooth option in the Network menu and click the Connect button to officially tether to your BlackBerry. Once you’re connected you’ll see two status bars that say Sent and Received, along with a Status of Connected and a length of time that you’ve been connected.

17. Congratulations! You’re now officially tethered to your BlackBerry and can now surf the Internet from anywhere you want!

Unlock/Jailbreak 2.2.0 3G iPhone (Mac)

freelance — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:49:46 +0000

This tutorial will show you how to jailbreak your 3G iPhone. It has been updated for the 2.2 firmware and the inclusion of the Installer.app beta.

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!

Unlock the iPhone 3G – Mac and Windows

freelance — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:39:26 +0000

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.

—————————————–

Now, Lets Begin With the 3G Unlock:

—————————————–
Step One
Press to launch Cydia Installer from your SpringBoard.

Step Two
Press to select the Manage tab at the bottom of the screen.

Step Three
Press to select the large Sources button

Step Four
Press the Edit button at the top right of the screen.

Step Five
Press the Add button at the top left of the screen.

Step Six
Enter http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/ as the source url and press the Add Source button.

Step Seven
Once the source has been added press the large Return to Cydia button.

Step Eight
Press the Done button at the top right of the screen.

Step Nine
Press to select apt9.yellowsn0w.com from the list of user entered sources.

Step Ten

Press to select yellowsn0w from the list of packages

Step Eleven
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..
