Luv my 32gb 3GS 4.3.3.
Fell for 64gb ipad2 (wifi)... Can grow with lte/4g/wimax
Need iPhone wifi hotspot/tether capability for iPad companionship
AT&T carrier lock... Currently acceptable because BB is 5.16.2 (unlockable)
6.15.0 (unacceptable... No gps).
Sn0wbreeze 2.7.3 only known JB option
Problem= no "detailed" guide available... Tried 5 times already
But Cydia never appears on iphone app, even though I have seen it get 'loaded' on ipsw process.
Go figure...ANY CONCRETE SUCCESSFUL RESOLUTIONS?

Downgrade your firmware. Welcome to the forum.

Downgrade Not option now. 4.3.3. Location tracking option engaged. 4.3.3 promised battery enhancement but have experienced power drains, big time. Or perhaps from all failed JB's If I choose downgrade, however, what process do I follow and how will it affect my current apps and iPhone capability ( from upgrade to 4.3.3).

Welcome Chris

Thanks all for welcome... So a downgrade from 4.3.3 to 4.2.1 was suggested
Is that because Cydia only supports 4.2.1. Firmware? Cydia seems very elusive. Real goal = is to get iPhone 3GS to act as wifi hotspot for my iPad 2 and laptop ( Vaio : XP.... To upgraded to Mac soon).... So process was to JB; use Cydia to access INTELLIBORN/MYWI 4:ON DEMAND for ultimate use of my unlimited AT&T data plan. Is that too ambitious? Or pioneering? The challenge is on . Thanks for enlightenment. CG
