Ok, apparently I was poking around in the wrong ballpark ... hence ...
Tethering Option only stays on and unchanged ONLY when apple mobile device is OFF ...
Once Apple Mobile Device is started, The Tethering options along with the apple etherner network connection [Unplugged, of course :( ] magically disappears ...
Anyone know the file location or the file in general that communicates with apple mobile device ???
I updated my 2G iPhone to 3.1 and now there's "Tethering Data" in Settings > General > Usage.
I'm using custom carrier bundle (the same file as on 3.0) without any special tethering settings.

A sign that carriers may charge separately for tethered data, I would say.Quote:

But the tetheringpatch is only for the 3G and 3GS not for the 2G.Quote:

But would be interesting how this software enables this.
So... sadly no solution yet
Read the article well.
myWi SHOULD allow Tether on 2G. :)
Too bad we can get just the tether via USB/BT for 2G w/o purchasing myWi.
Checking it now.
will update.
Well,
Bluetooth didn't work.
However USB DOES work!

However,
Since iPhone 3.1 there is a carrier bundle for my Carrier and it does allow Tethering. (for 3G/3GS out of the box)
That's nice but this thread is about activating the native and free tetheringcapabilities of the iPhone 2G. There are already a few apps via cydia to buy like pdanet the only difference is that they use wlan to share the connection.
I can also confirm working of this binarypatch for the 3G. But let's keep looking for the 2G!
Can you look into the modified files by this software? Modified daemon, new daemon anything like this?
Below are my findings for the past couple of days, so take it with a grain of salt. They're for jailbroken 3.1.2 firmware ONLY!
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileInternetSharing.plist contains State whose value is 1020. The second to last bit of that number means "allow tethering"; the last bit means "tethering is on/off". That is, to allow tethering, set State to 1023 or 1022. The mis daemon starts tethering by calling CoreTelephony, which, in turn, relays the request to CommCenter. If this request is denied, misd will set State back to 1020: tethering disabled, tethering off.
Start by patching the CommCenter to allow tethering. Set 1 to offset 0x43 into a magic structure (modem init stuff):
But that's not enough. The type-mask of each APN is checked, and the CommCenter will pick the APN with bits 4 and 5 set (aka 0x30 aka 48). These are stored in /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.carrier.plist. Mine looks like this:Code:# CommCenter offset, old value, new value
0x0002BC26 0x23 0xA3
0x0002BC28 0x08 0xDE
0x0002BC29 0x33 0x77
0x0002BC2A 0x25 0x06
0x0002BC2B 0x77 0x33
0x0002BC2C 0xDD 0x25
0x0002BC2E 0x38 0xDD
0x0002BC2F 0x33 0x77
0x0002BC30 0x1D 0x38
0x0002BC31 0x70 0x33
0x0002BC32 0xA3 0x1D
0x0002BC33 0x1C 0x70
0x0002BC34 0xDE 0x03
0x0002BC35 0x77 0x33
0x0002BC36 0x33 0x32
So it looks like the third APN is the right one. Unfortunately, iPhone 2G has only two pdp_ip contexts, so the third APN is never checked. I guess the first APN (that is, pdp_ip0) will do for now. So let's NOP out the type-mask check:Code:<array>
<dict>
<key>apn</key>
<string>internet</string>
<key>type-mask</key>
<integer>1</integer>
...
</dict>
<dict>
<key>apn</key>
<string>mms</string>
<key>type-mask</key>
<integer>4</integer>
...
</dict>
<dict>
<key>apn</key>
<string>modem</string>
<key>type-mask</key>
<integer>48</integer>
...
</dict>
</array>
And while we're at it, also NOP the signature check (from Answers to random questions [iPhone Dev Team]):Code:# CommCenter offset, old value, new value
0x0001691A 0x15 0x00
0x0001691B 0xD0 0x46
Now it's working.Code:# CommCenter offset, old value, new value
0x0001692A 0x06 0x00
0x0001692B 0xD0 0x46
To have tethering over bluetooth we also need to patch BTServer. The iPhone 2G profiles are: 0x1=handsfree, 0x2=phonebook. Aditionally, iPhone 3G has: 0x8=avrcp, 0x10=a2dp, 0x80=wiap, 0x100=netSharing, 0x800=gaming. Next, the BTServer patch:
A few notes:Code:# BTServer offset, old value, new value
0x000F913C 0x03 0x9B
0x000F913D 0x00 0x09
1. DON'T do it, unless you REALLY know what you are doing! A fsck'ed up CommCenter MAY and WILL brick your phone if anything goes awry (hello Restore). Maybe someone more knowledgeable can take a look and give his/her opinion.
2. This hack has no effect if you previously applied the MMS hack: http://www.hackint0sh.org/f207/93057.htm. This probably can be solved, but I'd rather take it step by step.
3. Tethering data appears in Preferences -> General -> Usage only if done over a different PDP than internet PDP (which is usually pdp_ip0). Since I had to use pdp_ip0, traffic data is added to the regular internet traffic and not shown as a separate item.
4. There is another CommCenter hack to enable all four PDPs, but then the baseband starts puking, resulting in NO SERVICE. Maybe someone can help with this.
How to do it:Code:# CommCenter offset, old value, new value
#0x0002BC0C 0x02 0x04 # or 3
1. make sure your 2G is on 3.1.2 jailbroken firmware. It won't work otherwise!
2. download and unpack (the sourcecode of bpatch is there only for reference, you don't have to compile anything)
3. scp the files into the phone
4. ssh into the phone (or use MobileTerminal) and become root
5. backup your CommCenter and BTServer
6. edit /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileInternetSharing.plist and set State to 1023
7. chmod +x bpatch
8. ./bpatch /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/CommCenter CommCenter_3.1.2_tether_OK0.bpatch
You should see:
[i] updating hash 22
[i] updating hash 43
If it says "Killed", just try the command again. If it says anything else, restore CommCenter from backup and maybe forget about it.
9. ./bpatch /usr/sbin/BTServer BTServer.bpatch
You should see:
[i] updating hash 249
If it says "Killed", just try the command again. If it says anything else, restore BTServer. You wont' be able to tether over bluetooth, only USB.
A. reboot phone
Enjoy.
