Joseph Brown of iTweakiOS who has released hacked carrier bundles to boost download speeds, has just figured out a way to enable tethering (or the mobile Hotspot) feature on the iPhone without jailbreaking.
Many carriers currently charge a monthly fee for the mobile Hotspot feature, and it has been possible to use the feature unofficially using jailbreak apps such as PdaNet, MyWi.
There have also been a number of apps that have enabled tethering as an easter egg, but have been quickly removed from the App Store.
So it is quite a breakthrough that Joseph has managed to enable it without jailbreaking. He explains:
Many of you may remember a story I put out ahile back talking about how CommCenter blocks edited carrier.plist files. This happens because of the very thing we’re doing right now, which i suspect will likely be patched quickly by iOS 7 GM release. People were enabling tethering by modifying the original carrier.plist files and this stopped entirely when Apple implemented signatures into the carrier.plist files and creating what we all know as CommCenter which is the process that checks these signatures. So, the challenge was finding a way to enable it without CommCenter checks and verifications. After months of research and digging, I’ve finally found a genuine workaround to enable this great feature and its quite simple, really.
Joseph has tried this only on T-Mobile so far, but is quite confident that it will work for all GSM carriers. He says it may not be work on the CDMA iPhone as it handles APNs differently. The hack involves editing the tethering APN in one of the system files using application like iBackupBot.

Jailbreaking gives iPhone users almost unfettered access to their devices, offering a slew of customizations, new features, and improved apps that you just can't get elsewise. Unfortunately, Apple has clamped down hard on the latest iterations of iOS, making jailbreaking extremely unstable at best. Hope is not lost, however, as there's still a way to install modded and unofficial apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch without any jailbreak.
Created in 2013 by Jay Freeman, better known as Saurik, Cydia Impactor has become the go-to tool for sideloading unofficial iOS apps—you know, the kind that Apple won't allow on its App Store. It's an incredibly versatile utility, and will operate on both Windows and Mac. Below, I'll show you the basics to using it, so you can sideload apps without a hitch.
