Finally!: Tether Blackberry to iPad via Bluetooth (ipad wifi ftw!)

Instructions for Bluetooth DUN tethering WITHOUT PDAnet (faster speeds than with PDAnet)

Download QPST 2.7.1 (build 301) [Note: you MUST get build 301, except for 8330/8330m users who should use build 215]

Essentially, you must get your SPC number. For Verizon Wireless users, your SPC number will be 000000. For all other carriers, the SPC number is encrypted and must therefore use hex editor to find it yourself. Instructions for this is here. The instructions are pretty much the same. Once you get to page 12, instead of going to the gpsOne tab, go to M.IP tab and change your tethered NAI to yournumber@vzw3g.com. Make sure you write to phone.

HexEditor (cannot remember which particular hex editor i got, but search google and you should be able to find, might have to dig though)
UniCDMA 0.98

NOTE** When using UniCDMA, make sure to change Mode to 'Qualcomm.' By doing this, the program was able to see my phone

Instructions for Bluetooth DUN tethering WITH PDAnet (slower speeds using PDAnet)

Requirements

Jailbroken iPad
Blackberry phone (tested with blackberry storm 9530)
ibluever: Install from Cydia (you can try the demo for free. if demo works, ensure to uninstall before installing paid release)
PDAnet: PdaNet -- Use your BlackBerry as a USB Modem (click 'install pdanet 1.30' only)

1. Run ibluever from your iPad
2. Click 'ON' You should be able to see your phone
3. Click on blue arrow of your device to edit the following fields

pin code: 0000 (or any combination of numbers)

dial number: #777 (for verizon wireless)

chat script: default non GPRS (refer to link at bottom for reference as to what options to choose)

Authentication: On

Sniff Mode: Off

Waiting SDP: On

4. Go to your blackberry bluetooth options menu and DISABLE 'dial up networking' and click save

5. Run PDANET from your blackberry device and 'Enable Bluetooth DUN'
6. Open ibluever from your iPad, select your blackberry device and run
7. You should now see two icons on upper right status bar of your iPad

*NOTE*
- This will not give you 3G speeds. Bluetooth DUN using PDAnet gives about 50kB/s. Faster than edge, but half as fast as 3G. Thats fine by me, as I won't have to pay for additional data plan to verizon.
- If you are being redirected to verizon website, ensure that 'dial up networking' is disabled in your blackberry bluetooth options.
- For directions on other mobile carriers, please go here for reference.

You Rock! Works like a champ, I purchased the full version. I left "Sniff Mode" ON?

Do you know how to turn this on and off? It seems to stay on all the time for me and I have to disconnect my bluetooth on my phone (BB 9700 for reference).

TMobile user settings:

Pin Code: 0000 or 1234 unless you changed it on your phone
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Dial Number: *99#
User name: Leave blank
Password: Leave blank

I leave Sniff mode off. You should be able to turn it OFF in ibluever. Developer was saying that sniff mode enabled makes your connection slower.

This works with the touch too!

This is so awesome! Am I dreaming? Finally. . . . . I have it all!

thanks!

I am having problems with the program hanging up and not loading, it just acts as if it is frozen. If I delete and reinstall, it works the first time and then hangs up again?

are you using the demo version? Demo version connects fine, but will be disconnected after about 15-30 seconds.

also, for the use of PDAnet, i am only using this application because without it, i am redirected to a verizon site. try connecting the blackberry to the iPad without using pdanet.

if you are on t-mobile/sprint, its best to enter your APN number.

I tested with the demo and it worked great using Tmobile APN and dial number. So I deleted the demo and purchased the full version on Cydia.

I installed the full purchased version and it logged right on using PDAnet to connect te bluetooth. Ihen I closed and reopened ibluever it just spun and spun and would do anything. I deleted the app and reinstalled and again it worked but would not reopen after the initial attempt.

I am using PDAnet as well because my blackberry 9700 will not connect to my iPad using the iPad bluetooth which I understand is normal.

OK, I think I figured it out and the fact that this is a bit "buggy" as a brand new app is for sure acceptable. Using Full Force I had iBluever set to "ON". I was at a loss as to the problem, so I started looking for everything that might be wrong. I turned Full Force "OFF" for iBluever and re did the settings and viola! It seems to be working great. I will play with it more today and log on and log off multiple times to be sure it does not freeze up and repost here with my results. Thanks

This is an issue that the ibluever developer needs to address.

the best way to do a full clean uninstall is to open SSH terminal and (OpenSSH must be installed on your iPad) remove the following:

1. uninstall iBluever
2. remove /var/m0bile/Library/iBluever
3. reinstall

please bear in mind that openssh has some issues with wifi icon missing at times. respringing resolves this issue.

Problems still......I try and log on and I get "Error Chat timeout", click dismiss then hit my blackberry again and it hangs up on "Starting SDP L2CAP connection..." and stays there forever. I have deleted the program and reinstalled with the same result. Any ideas?

I dont know how to log onto the ipad SSH from my computer and perform the functions you mention. I will do a bit of digging, I do have open SSH installed on my iPad, not sure how to use my Macbook Pro to get to it?
