Update: IF you've updated to 3.1 (naughty!) - there is now a way to get your iPhone to tether to AT&T.
iPhone 3.0 is live! so we are going to repost our tethering tutorial with some big improvements. You now don't have to do any downgrading or torrenting. Seems you can just run a little command in terminal (Make sure you are on OS 3.0 on a 3G iPhone and iTunes 8.2):
defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
After that, the steps become a lot more simple.
1. Download this file (for AT&T) and mount the disk image (thanks Gizmodo) for other carriers, try here.
2. Option-click on "restore" in your iTunes with your iPhone attached. Browse to the opened disk image file and hit OK. It will update phone settings for a few seconds.
3. You have tethering. Now go into your iPhone/settings/general/network/Internet Tethering and turn it on.
Boom - 3 steps to tethering...
Oh, and how to you like cut and paste and spotlight search?

Still no luck on the 2G iPhone
This tethering tutorial, same as the last one, still doesn't enable tethering on the original 2G iPhone. Is this 3G specific? You should mention that.

The file in the disk image
The file in the disk image appears to be for AT&T only (ATT_US.ipcc). Where can I get a similar file for O2 in the UK?

Voicemail might not be "provisioned"
That's what I had to do to get it to work. I have a slew of iPhones here and first time I had to do that was this week. Very odd but AT&T support fixed the issue by setting up "provisioning" on the phones accounts.

Now that tethering works like a charm, how do you go about getting MMS to work on 3.0 with AT&T

Is there a possibility that this will brick the phone?
Will it void any contracts?
Thanks.
2G no go
Please mention that this does not work on old-fangled 2G phones. It did break my voicemail though. Any ideas on how t get it back? What do you mean "dial your voicemail?"
It works beautifully once
It works beautifully once it's set up. I'm worried about how this may affect my billing, though. Will I be able to update when the new version comes out?
Voicemail is down now
I hate this cause now my voicemail doesnt work. And no, redialing 1 doesnt help.
