iPad iPad + jailbroken iPhone with MyWi = amazing

Will they have to release a new version of Myfi to work with the up and coming jailebroken OS 4.0?

still no app wrapper tutorial, must not be possible, dang.

If you have a developer account, it's entirely possible. It's just a matter of decompressing the file and wrapping it in xcode. It's can get a bit tricky, with of trial and error, so we're hoping the man who accomplished this already can post the tutorial, for the rest of us, so it will work right off the bat. I'm keeping the faith! haha

I have been trying to do that and it sees and connects to my iPhone but when I try to surf it says not connected to the Internet

There was a thread recently with that symptom. Turned out the user was running iPhone OS 3.0. IIRC, upgrading to 3.1.2 fixed his issue.

Just posted this in another thread.

Just purchased the MyWi (No Rock)
app for my jailbroken iPhone 3GS for $10.

It does not tether the 3GS signal.

In fact, will not even connect unless I
turn the WIFI setting on my iPhone to ON.

No use to tether the WIFI signal I already
have. I need to tether the 3G signal.

Can someone help?

Also, does AT&T charge extra for tethering
3G thru an app like MyWi?

Thanks in advance for the help.

As I just posted in response to someone else's issue, we had a thread recently with similar symptoms, and turned out the user was running iPhoneOS 3.0. Need 3.1.2, IIRC, to get MiWi to work. He/she upgraded, and it solved the problem.

Yep, that was me. Vinniefish helped me get my iPhone 3gs to 3.1.2 and am using now. It worked perfectly after that.
 
Tried wifi tethering with my newly rooted android phone for the first time today- it was amazing; I was getting 200k/s downloads to my iPad.
 
Wrappers!

I found this thread yesterday.
And I can kiss a good hour of my life away working-out what all that means.

Here's the theory.
There is an XCode template called Crappstore. This is the source of the "wrapper".

Installing this into XCode lets you build and run existing .ipa bundles. Presumably the unsigned app is embedded inside some kind of legitimised signed xcode app.

So the theory to get MiWi running is.
1) Download the MiWi file from somewhere. It is a Cydia (DEB) package.
2) Open up the DEB file and turn it into a IPA file.
3) Use XCode, Crappstore and this new IPA to install it onto an non-jailbroken phone.

That's the theory.

In practice .. I get a Codesign error in step 3.
Nor will it run on the simulator.

Perhaps someone else could have a go!

Carniphage, so w/o jail-braking how did you get your mits on MyWi????? That is what is stopping most developers who would be interested in trying this.

It's like this: if you have anything older than a 3Gs w/ 3.1.3 (new bootrom) then you just jailbrake and buy MyWi. You are not interested in this process. If you have a 3Gs w/ 3.1.3 (new bootrom) then you are very much interested in this process BUT as you cannot jailbrake you cannot download MyWi to even try this.

So - where can we try/buy MyWi w/o jailbraking?????

And I am going to scream if one more person posts "Just jailbrake your phone and don't worry about all this codesign stuff." For crapsake we (3Gs 3.1.3 new bootrom owners) cannot do that! :mad:
 
You don't need Cydia to get packages from the Repos. Cydia is a front end for apt. You can use apt to get the packages on your computer and modify them as instructed above.

Google apt for more info.

I ..err.. found a file. Purporting to be MyWi.
"Intelliborn.MyWi.v3.4.2.iPhone.Cracked-NGNPDA.rar"
It was on a file-sharing site. Not a torrent.

Which I am guessing is just a "liberated" version of MyWi.

I was just trying to get it running on a non-jailbroken Phone using the XCode wrapper method.

Ever since jailbreaking, my iPhone 3g's battery life is really crappy.

Is this a known issue with jailbreaking?
 
Hopefully people can get this running without a jailbreak. That would be awesome!!! :)

In other news, I've been using tethering a my main internet for my ipad since Saturday evening on my iphone 3GS data plan and I've only used 768 megs so far. Very happy with my decision to go wifi over 3G. I don't for see me ever using this thing as a gps as when I need to get somewhere I whip out my iPhone as its much easier :)

This solution works great for me and i am thrilled I went this route.

Not for me.

Then again, I keep my WiFi turned off until I
absolutely need to use it.

Same goes for the Bluetooth.

If you get this to work, I will get a sex change just to propose. :rolleyes:
 
I've got a 3GS with the latest official firmware.


I'm very interested in using this MyWi app. I've got 2 questions.

1) If I don't want to jailbreak, is there any possible way to get MyWi working on my iPhone?

2) If I do jailbreak, is there any way to ever get myself back to the official firmware?
