Lost my FaceTime capability after jailbreak.

Damnit! Why did I click on this link... I didn't even need this... Full restore failed for me. I'm trying this procedure: http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=10298203&post...

I bricked my Iphone the first time I ran the jailbreak. Here is what I did to get it working again. 1. Start itunes and plug your iphone into your computer. Nothing will happen right now, just do it. 2. With your iphone plugged in and itunes started hold down the home key and the top button. 3. Keep holding down both buttons during the reboot and blank screen. Don't let go until you see a disk and a usb cable. 4. Select restore from itunes.

MMS works for me after jailbreaking but the MobileTerminal doesn't run .. it crashes every time I try to load it. Is anybody else experiencing the same issue?

I'm experiencing this same issue. I also have MMS and Facetime working, although I got it pretty late in the day yesterday so they probably already fixed that issue.

Will this type of jailbreak let you use the iPhone 4 on a different carrier?

From http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/08/jailbreakme-20-released-t... "Update 4: If you want to unlock your iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G then you need to first jailbreak your iPhone on iOS 4 or iOS 4.0.1 using JailbreakMe and then install Ultrasn0w 0.93 to unlock your iPhone."

That doesn't answer parent poster's question.

iPhone 4 unlock will come in next 24 hours. It's in last round of testing. You can use ultrasn0w 0.93 to unlock 3GS or 3G right now though.

Can anyone recommend the best tethering app for a jailbroken iPhone 4?

PDAnet works wonderfully for me. It's free, and it's really simple to set up. Install it, then create an ad hoc network on your computer. When you launch PDAnet, it's going to scan for available ad hocs; select the one you just created. At least on my apple machine, as soon as I connect, my box recognizes that the iPhone can be used as a gateway to the internet. Very slick :)

Note that PDAnet is actually trialware, and the full SOCKS proxy functionality is only free for 14 days. After that, you just get port 80 forwarded, so nothing beyond HTTP will work on tethered devices.

It was not bricked. It was Facetime/MMS that disappeared.

MobileTerminal appears to be fundamentally broken on iOS4, at least as shipped in Cydia (it was when I upgraded and jailbroke my 3G).

But, you can grab the latest version from the project's website, and install it via SSH:

I believe you're thinking of iPhonemodem (or something like that?)...

I cannot find anything on pdanet that is asking me for money (this is why I uninstalled iphonemodem)

Nope, I'm talking about PDAnet. Check out their FAQ:
