Make Blackjack II as Bluetooth modem on AT&T network

In case you're struggling to make the nice Samsung Blackjack II smartphone as a bluetooth modem, I've found what I need here, or in case the site is down, here I copy-paste the steps:




MAKE SURE TO RE-DOWNLOAD THE CAB AS IT IS CHANGED!!

ok so here's the NEW procedure:

Step0.0: Make sure your device is app unlocked!!**(see below note!); run secpolicies.cab first if unsure or the certs won't take!!
Step0.1 RESET THE DEVICE!
Step1: Install the BJ.WM6.ICS.Enable cab file (it might ask you to reboot)
Step2: navigate to \My Documents and click on the certs.cab file
Step3: RESET THE DEVICE!
Step4: go to start and run internet sharing
Step5: report back and lemme know if i fux0red anything ELSE up :P

this should work on both BJ1/WM6 and BJ2/WM6

file is temporarily hosted at:
http://www.mdots.net/misc/BJ.WM6.ICS.Enable.cab

**run this cab and reboot; http://sems.org/content/download/secpolicies.cab

After reset, I could see "Internet Sharing" under "Application (Start -> Applications -> Internet Sharing).  When I ran it, it showed two choices for PC connection (USB and Bluetooth PAN).

On PC (or MAC, with small diffs):

  1. Double click on the desktop icon identifying the connection. If not desktop icon was added go toStart, Settings, Network and Dial-up Connections, GPRS.
  2. Enter Username:
  3. Enter Password:
  4. Enter Password again in the Confirm box: 
  5. Verify that the number to dial is *99# and click dial.
    NOTE: If receiving error 678 or 619 the Phone number can also be entered as *99***1#, or *99***(CID Number)#
    NOTE: By default 1 is the CID, but can change.


I've not tested it yet, but seems to work OK.
