MMS for iPhone 2G and tethering on OS 3.1.2 explained, not for the faint of heart

Let's be clear upfront that this isn't for the casual iPhone jailbreaker, but if you feeling like living on the edge, you can give your original model an added boost of MMS capability, or any device with OS 3.1.2 the power to tether. Highlighted in a series of tweets today by iPhone dev team lead MuscleNerd, whiterat (for MMS) and two-bit (for tethering) will get the job done, but both require tinkering with the baseband, which is exponentially more advanced and brick-inducing than, say, installing Cydia. Venture forth with the instructions beyond the read links below.

followed instructions for enabling internet tethering and it worked just fine. i didn't need a mac to do the bspatch command. if you have a linux box, just install 'bsdiff' which has the bspatch command. added the profile that has tethering and it worked like a charm

Why would you want to patch the CommCenter. Funny that musclenerd would even retweet these - as he knows better then to arm users with something that could easily brick (requiring restore brick) a user's phone. Just install MyWi (it's in Cydia - a Rock app). It's simple and prevents users from risking bricking their phone. Come on MuscleNerd and Engadget - you can do better.
