Personally, I hate RockApp. Crapware from my perspective, so I wanted it off my phone ASAP.
All I had to do was SSh in, go to /Applications (Which is technically a shortcut to /private/var/stash/Applications , and Delete Rockapp , and MyWi.
Once done, you can use the iPhone OS to over USB or BT! I’m on 3.1.0.
Yes!
dats wot mention at the bottom to get rid of it
the ssh trick worked fine!!! thanks!!!
It worked! Did it on my wife’s jailbroken 3.1. I jsut need to delete the apps through SSH. I have a concern though, from MuscleNerd’s tweet about tethering: he cautions that AT&T is carcking down on people who are tethering (note: that he uses a different method for thethering).
Is this true? Are they more vigilant about whos tethering or is it still the same as before. Im been tethering for a long time and nothing has happened. Please advice
Sorry James..
I read the same as you did but I’m not from USA.
It works as advertised! I used the SSH method to delete the apps with perfect results!

Step 1: Goto Cydia, search for “MyWi” app and install it. MyWi will also install “RockApp” as a part of its package. Install RockApp manually if it isn’t installed automatically with MyWi app.
Step 2: Now start RockApp and create a free Rock ID for yourself.
Step 3: Sign in using this ID in RockApp and you should now see an update to MyWi app. Restart your iPhone once the update has been successfully installed.
Step 4: Start MyWi app and turn on the option for USB/Bluetooth tethering.
Step 5: Now simply navigate to Settings->General->Network->Internet Tethering on your iPhone and turn on the toggle for Internet Tethering.
Step 6: download winscp <>
Step 7: download open SSH from cydia on the iphone once done.
Step 8: open winSCP,
Step 9: host:is the iphones ip address,
1. to find this hook up to your wifi point, go to settings,general,network,wifi, click on the blue arrow it will give you the iphones internal ip address this is your host name.
Step 10: username:root,Password:alpine
Step 11: ignore private key file,File protocol:SCP, now click login.
Step 12: once loged into your iphones DIR, Navigate to:/private/var/stash/Applications
Step 13: there delete Rockapp and MyWi
Step 14: hard restart your Iphone
and when you turn back on you will have enable full Internet Tethering forever

Hey, we don’t need openssh. It’s enough to install mobileterminal. You can go to Applications Folder and delete the MyWi.app folder with it.
Thanks!
