Updating iPhone to iOS 4 in Vmware

While updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4, I encountered an error on iTunes saying that my iPhone could not be updated. My phone went into recovery mode after that. This is not the first time I’m doing restore and update with Vmware, so I’m pretty surprise why the update process failed.
A peek into dmesg [...]

Native IPhone Tethering On Linux (Debian)

For some reason, I can get tethering to work natively on Linux after I did an upgrade on my unstable Debian.

IPhone Tethering – Use and Abuse!

This is the geeky sequel to my last Linux to IPhone tethering episode where we used and abused the IPhone tethering function.
Some background, I’m one of those people who contracted (and got stuck) with the 50G SingTel Mobile Broadband Plan before the days of 12GB IPhone plan. My usage was about 4G per month, so [...]

Linux to IPhone Tethering In 5 Mins

Tethering from a mobile phone is not new to me. I started from the days of having to script the ppp chat scripts to wvdial to finally having Network Manager recognizing my mobile phone as a 3G modem.
IPhone is new. I have been reading about tethering on Linux as soon as I bought it. Painful [...]
