So you’ve somehow got iPhone 3.0 installed (before it was made available to the general public) on your device and now you want to enable the AT&T unsupported tethering feature. The following instructions assume you are on a Mac and already have iPhone 3.0 OS installed on your device.
Do the following:
- Quit iTunes then run Terminal and paste in the following line:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
This will enable the ability to send the ATT_US.ipcc file required to enable tethering
- Download the following file:Â http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3IVMRD46
- Load iTunes and plug in your iphone. Click the iphone on the left list then hold OPTION and click the Check for Upgrade button on the right pane.
- Locate the downloaded ATT_US.ipcc file and select it.
- Sync your iPhone and then on the iPhone go to:
Setting > General > Network > Internet Tethering and slide the slider to ON.
- Follow the directions on the tethering screen and your good to go.
