Enable Tethering on iPhone 3.1.2 - ONLY 3G & 3GS Supported

These instructions are of OS X. I used Snow Leopard, I don't know if Leopard ships with bspatch or not, but if it does then you should be good. Also, make sure you have MobileTerminal installed on your phone.

  • Copy /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/CommCenter to your Desktop also.
  • Open the Terminal and:
    cd Desktop
    bspatch CommCenter CommCenter-hacked CommCenter.patch

  • Now go ahead and delete CommCenter now from your Desktop and rename CommCenter-hacked to just CommCenter.
  • Rename CommCenter on your iPhone to CommCenter.backup in case something bad happens, so you have a backup.
  • Copy the new CommCenter to your iPhone.
  • SSH into your iPhone or use MobileTerminal as root and chmod +755 the new CommCenter so that it's executable.
  • Restart your phone.
  • Check your Setting > General > Network, and you should have the Tethering option. If you dont Go to http://help.benm.at on your phone and install the mobileconfig just like you did in 3.0.

Those receiving the 0xE800003D error: Did you install a carrier theme from Cydia? Like the AT&T logo or MakeitMine? If so remove that and try again. It seems that others before were getting that error because of this.
