SPONSORED LINKS
This post is in extension to my article about MyWi Jailbreak app in Cydia Store that turns your iphone 4 into a WiFi router [HotSpot]. This process is also called wi-fi tethering [wiki] . This article will explain how to install and run MyWi 4.9.9 on your iphone 4 .
Compatibility : MyWi 4.9.9 is compatible to run on Iphone 4 , 3GS , 3G , Ipad 3G . You must have a jailbroken iphone or ipad to install MyWi App . [Jailbreak iphone 4 4.1].
Features : MyWi 4.9.9 has improved USB Tethering, Bug Fixes for iPhone 3G and Fix for networking configuration after MyWi is turned off.
Steps to install MyWi 4.9.9 :
- Remove any Tethering app already installed in your phone . [also existing mywi app]
- Now go to cydia and search MyWi as shown in the image below [version 4.9.9 or 4.9.10]
- Tap on the selection and you will be shown the following screen [image below]. Tap on install .
- MyWi Jailbreak app is now installed on your iphone . Goto springboard and you can see the MyWi icon.
- Tap on the icon and it will pop up the agreement for using the trial version of MyWi . Proceed with accepting it and your device must reboot now .
If your device dont reboot automatically , you may have to reboot it manually before you can start using the tethering app .If you have not purchased the app , it will show you a trial notification every few minutes for 3 days before the trial expires .
Cons : The new version 4.9.9 is priced at $19.99 and upgrade price is $9.99 . I think it’s a bit expensive and the developer should consider reducing its price to make it more affordable . [prices indicated are true at the time of writing this article].
Alternative Apps : PDANET 4.18 .

yeh far too expensive, especially when most devices these days come bluetooth equipped so you can just use bluetooth internet tethering for free
@ moonsire : would you like to share any such source . i would love to quote it in the articles .
thanks for your valuable comment
wait am i missing something here :S pls correct me if i misunderstood what wifi tethering is. But if you mean using the iphone as a gateeay for your notebook to connect to the net, then you can just use the bluetooth tethering function can’t you? Settings -> general -> network -> internet tethering -> On -> turn on bluetooth. Pair the ip4 with your notebook and connect to the net using the fone’s gateway. I’ve used it a few times, works like a charm.
Is there any free or jailbroken App to use as a Wifi Hotspot?
Purchased wifi 4. for 19.99 and it works fine on my 3GS w/ 4.1 os
Would like to upgrade just for grins but feel price is out of line!
How about doing a writeup comparing all the different tethering options? That would be really useful!
good idea , i will write about PDANET next and compare … let me know if any other tethering app is known to you …
thanks
Eagerly waiting for the comparison against PDANET. I went to the website but didn’t find much information.
Will MyWi allow you to tether an iPad to an iPhone without the use of a computer?
Yes, it can tether an iPad and theoreticaly every other wifi capable device…but as someone mentioned before the price is way too high and it drains the battery of the iPhone significantely.
Do you have to create an ad-hoc network on a pc for it to work like you do with pdanet and iphone modem?
@ Aron : thats right …
Hey all. I’m new in jailbreaking and all themes that might concern. I just jailbroke my iPhone 4 iOS 4.1 last night folloing the step by step (for Limera1in, wich I found a lot easier and quicker than Greenpois0n), but the version and screens @ MyWi are not the same as the ones shown here. Any comment or update regarding the latest MyWi 4.11.2? I really appreciate any info or comment. Also, I couldn’t get any trial version. Thanks for your time and congrats for the site and the info you all share here. It has been the easiest ‘step by step’ site for jailbreaking I’ve found.
Btw, I bought my iPhone with ATT and have the unlimited data and phone calls plan. Do I ALSO have to buy the tether package ATT sells for $20.00 per month for just 2g? As far as I know, ATT is no longer offering the unlimited data plan and – for tethering – I would have to buy the plan I mention here, wich is a LIMITED one and will risk the old unlimited plan I have. Is MyWi going to make my iPhone work like a modem for my Mac? Or is MyWi just an app that makes my iPhone work as a router @ a Wi-Fi place? Sorry for so many questions and thanks for your help again.
Pdanet worked incredibly for myself. I tested from a my phone to my laptop and phone to phone. And best of all, AT&T never once picked up on my tethering. And i keep my basic plqn. No upgrwdes or extra charge.
Tmobile offers free tethering… I dont see why its difficult for AT&T to do the same.
Tmobile will be over soon.
I hope AT&T doesnt forget about the customer first.
Anyway, Yayyyy for PDANET!!!
And its free!! Thru cydia.xsellize repisotory…
