same error here, file does not exist, have the webOSdoctor jar file right next to the quick install file, using Xubuntu 9.04..

java -version says

java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

for those that have already this working.

Are you supposed to turn dev. mode off once u finish and you take it out the pc?
what would happen if i leave it on, or off?

[Norelco]

do i need to do anything with the web os doctor once it finnishes downloading? or do i go straight to the WebOSQuickInstall and click on that?

If you leave DevMode on, it leaves open other devices to connect to your device. You can leave it on or turn it off, it's really a matter of choice.

as long as webOSDoctor is in the same folder as WebOSQuickInstall.jar, you should be good to launch my program

It looks like a directory path is missing the leading slash (/). For example when I run the installer, it says it cannot find webOSDoctor in home/myHome/myInstallerDirectory when it SHOULD be looking in /home/myHome/myInstallerDirectory.

As a temporary fix, you can create the path it is looking for in the directory where you are running the app. So in my case I would copy webOSDoctor to /home/myHome/myInstallerDirectory/home/myHome/myInstallerDirectory

Thanks for the Win 7 tutorial! Thought I had a problem because I kept getting "device not installed". After a bit I realized that i'd forgotten to put the Pre in Developer mode
Worked perfectly after that.

Does MyTether install without rooting in this version? (hope)

I don't quite understand this. How do I create a path within a folder?

UPDATE**** OH Got it. basically make a folder within a folder...I'm one step further will let you know if it doesn't work. Thanks

Fixing the directory structure worked! Up and running on my Mac. Thanks for all your great work.

I've tride it and it didn't work you have to do something like root in some shell.ipk you can find that ipk on the my tether post either first or second page but you do have to root your pre which really sucks

[nick8539]

On the mac I tried fixing the directory structure to match the error and got as far as asking me to choose USB Device or Emulator, regardless of what I choose it just closes.

Can anyone advise me?

I'm on Windows Vista 32. I've installed novacom without a problem. I've removed and then installed the newest version of Java. Just to be safe, I installed the SDK and Virtual Machine.

However, whenever I try and open the .jar file, I get one of the following errors:
- When trying to open via an association with Java Platform SE Binary, I get a Windows dialogue that prompts me, "Could not find the main class ... Program will exit"
- When trying to open via an association with Java Web Start Launcher, I get a Java dialogue that prompts me, "Unable to Launch the application."

Thus far, no luck getting the .jar file to execute? Any help out there?

I cannot get anything to work on the pre, do I have to download the SDK? and if so where can i find the download for it? It keeps stating, device not found, and i am at a stop as to what is causing this besides the SDK thing.

No, SDK is not required.

I am having the same problem.
I DID have it working the other night, but for some reason I deleted everything and now I get the same message even though I have webOSDoctor in the same directory (actually its the webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar file)

can't seem to get past this.

Thanks.e

v1.3 - July 29, 09
- Many Mac/Linux bugfixes
- Minor internal code changes

Download Mirror

I don't have a Mac, but I did as much testing on Ubuntu as I could. A redid a fair bit of the setup code and my app should be much more Mac/Linux-friendly.

I'm gonna postpone my guide on how to install non-standard apps til tomorrow (for various personal reasons).

Enjoy
