Jailbreak iPhone 3G?

[TangoJuliet]

I just got a 3G from my brother and I want to jailbreak it so I can use it at work and tether it. I have a 3GS but I don't want to mess around with it. I'll just keep the 3G at work and swap the sim card.

Whats the best way of jailbreaking it? Best app to tether it? I still have the unlimited data plan so I'd like to finally get my money's worth out of it.

Thanks!!

If you don't need an unlock, just use Limera1n.

I use "TetherMe" to tether.. It's 1.99 in Cydia and just basically unlocks the regular USB/Bluetooth tethering options.

RedSn0w... no need for Limera1n. 3G is Pwned4life. Also, it's possible to tether without buying anything, but it takes a bit of work. To top it off, your provider can easily see that you've enabled unofficial tethering unless you use a VPN.

So, how do I get RedSn0w? I don't mind paying for an app but what are the consequences if AT&T realizes that I enabled unofficial tethering?

Didn't they patch that up with the second most recent update? I'll have to check which iOS the 3G is running. I know I haven't updated my 3GS to iOS 4.xx yet because of it.

Not sure. I jailbroke from 4.0 not that long ago though.

I hear that is goes like this: First, they send you a nasty letter threatening to disconnect if you do not stop, then, itf you do not stop, they cancel your contract. Soulds like a good way out of the contract if you are ready to leave AT&T.

You can probably fly under their radar just by keeping usage low. There's a 5GB cap on unlimited plans which triggers a nasty letter too and that's probably what it takes to get them to look closer.
