Thanks, it worked deleting rock and mywi on SSH thanks!

It’s also possible to just delete the rock application in cydia with Manage / Packages

Simply delete the rock application, and your tethering functionality will still be active 😉

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.

iPhone Heat October 19, 2009, 10:08 am

Yes!
dats wot mention at the bottom to get rid of it

eufhe October 19, 2009, 9:08 pm

the ssh trick worked fine!!! thanks!!!

james October 20, 2009, 12:33 am

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

iPhone Heat October 20, 2009, 2:02 am

Sorry James..
I read the same as you did but I’m not from USA.

Pepe October 21, 2009, 9:17 am

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

I tried this method and worked perfectly with FW 3.1.2
I even deleted the both apps using SSH, and everything was fine.

The about 2 weeks later the option for Tethering in the Settings/General/Network, disappeared completely.

FreePass November 10, 2009, 6:15 am

Alright,this is what happened.After a deleted both apps by using SSH, I got the same problem as PJ in the above comment.The tethering option was completely gone out of the setting.After that happened I deleted MyWi from Cydia–>Manage–>Packages then pressed Reboot and my iPhone has crashed!Any help here please:( I had 3.0 version.

mike March 16, 2010, 5:29 pm

I had the same thing. Now it won’t even open. It just shows the apple logo. Did you resolve it? Please tell me what to do?

DT November 11, 2009, 1:48 pm

Tried to donload winscp on IPhone 3gs and Safari refused the download. Downloaded fine on my windows 7 H P laptop but could not drag and drop winscp to IPhone while tethered with usb. Can anyone help me?

Adam January 21, 2010, 1:36 pm

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!

sanai March 8, 2010, 11:49 am

Thanks for the article.

mike March 16, 2010, 5:26 pm

When “myfi” can be use “GPRS” connected to “iPad”? I have a iPhone 2G & iPad 16G wifi.
thanks

china April 24, 2010, 10:09 am

I found “myfi” not to support China’s “cmwap” Internet connection. However, to support “cmnet”. Hope “myfi” as soon as possible to support “cmwap”
Thanks
