New ipad and tethering

Well done @morkhans. I can confirm that these instructions worked perfectly for me using OSX 10.8.2, iTunes 10.7, iOS6. Now have personal hotspot working with Vodacom sim. Haven't noticed any side effects yet.

Thanks for the feedback!
 
This currently works for Vodacom users. I should be able to make this work for MTN as well. I'm waiting for feedback in this thread so I can roll the correct version into a bundle. Cell C is already working without any fixes. Unfortunately I can't fix this for 8ta because they don't have any iPhone bundles.
What does this mean?
 
Great... Thanks for the feedback.. Please inform vodacom about this......

Sometimes wish I could hack the stuff myself to get it to you faster.

Clearly I can't do it officially, however look how much I'm protesting Morks doing this.... ;)
 
cannot get it to work. if i past this windows tells me it is wrong “%ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

I assume you have 32 bit windows? Try the 64 bit command without the x86 in the path. Otherwise right click on your iTunes shortcut and look where it points to, to find the correct location.

Don't drill into the file (it's actually a zip just renamed to ipcc) just select it.
 
i can see the zip file on the desktop. i open itunes. press shift and update. get the menu. open drop dox and select .ippc
then i check the desktop for the zipfile in the menu and it is not there. just my foulders....

Then you haven't saved it with the correct extension. File must end in ipcc. Try redownload the file with a right click, save as.
 
aaahhh got somewhere now. i typed it ippc.zip and it found it but now it tells me the ipead could not be updated as the firmware file is not compatible

You probably just followed the link and your browser decided to add .zip to the end. Either rename it or do the "save as" I suggested.
