How to Tether iPhone OS 3.1.2

With the  BlackSn0w unlock for iPhone 3GS and 3G now it’s possible to enable Tethering on iPhone OS 3.1.2.

Before the release of BlackSn0w unlock, we wrote a hack on how to enable tethering on iPhone OS 3.1.2 which comprises a few tricky steps. But this iPhone tethering guide is pretty easy and straight forward.

In order to tether iPhone OS 3.1.2 simply follow the instructions below.

NOTE: iPhone 3.1.2 Tethering Guide is for Blackra1n and BlackSn0w users only. Rest of the users may follow the previous guide:

I recently jailbroke my iPhone 3GS with blackra1n but did not unlock it at the time. I of course deleted blackra1n once the process was complete. I would now like to use this hack for tethering but I did not unlock the phone when I jailbroke it. Is it possible to unlock it now? I tried the hack without unlocking but it didn’t work.

you can download blacksn0w from Cydia by adding blackra1n repo
