WebOS Repair Utility 1.9

WebOS Repair Utility is a completely unofficial, cross-platform desktop program that will compare md5sums. In essence, it checks which file are altered or damaged and gives options like to ignore or restore directly from WebOSDoctor.

Currently only compatible with WebOS v1.3.5.1 (Sprint/Bell Pre/Pixi), 1.3.1 (GSM Pre), and 1.2.5 (Telcel Pre). Running on a different version will undoubtedly cause serious damage (possibly requiring WebOSDoctor to recover/whipe the device). This is an in-development app, so don't be surprised to see bugs.



There is absolutely no obligation to donation, just some people requested a link, plus all funds go to help keeping me developing (which as university goes by requires stricter and stricter time-management).

Usage

Be sure to save WebOSRepairUtility.jar to the same folder as WebOSDoctor. I've you've used WebOS Quick Install, you'll already have it downloaded to the same folder as WebOSQuickInstall.jar.

Also be sure to have your device with DevMode enabled and connected in "Just Charge" before running WebOSRepairUtility.jar.

Everything else is pretty self explanitory. There's 2 main functions:

1. Scan/Repair
   • Upon clicking, you'll need to find WebOSDoctor.
   • Then, it will proceed to do a scan of WebOS program files on your device.
   • If a file is missing from your device or a file has been altered, you're given the option to "Restore" or "Ignore"
     • "Restore" will restore the original factory file directly from WebOSDoctor and put it in place on your device.
     • "Ignore" is handy for situations where you want files left altered, like in the case of certain files with Virtual-Keyboard
2. Restore Specific File
   • This will bring up a popup get will let you restore a specific file directly from the WebOSDoctor to device. No hassle, no mess.

Oh, and I feel I should mention, the system scan can take a long time (tests with the emulators showed it taking over 30min to complete a full scan).

Also, if you're a user of WebOS Quick Install, you get the added benefit that this will not interfere with the tweaks and will in fact help correct things if things go wrong and will even prevent some things that could go wrong. It's also PreCentral themer compatible and won't bug you about having themes installed.
