"GOAT" not going away...

plcd22 · 02/12/2010, 04:04 PM

Hello I am having an issue with, i think it is called the "carrier string". Anyway as you can see in this pic the word GOAT is in the upper left hand corner of the screen where it used to say sprint...

I know that when you install themes some of them have that custom made like the Palm Signature says "Palm Signature" in the same place. I noticed that after i had the one that says GOAT up there that it seems to be stuck there! I tried uninstalling the theme and it is still there... after the uninstall i tried installing "Palm Signature" since i knew that one had something diff up there and it doesn't matter what I do I can't get rid of it...

I also went to WebOS Quickinstall and tried to go through the Themer there and get rid of it by "Reverting to default" theme... that didn't work!

How do I get rid of that "GOAT" up there and at least get back to the "Sprint" or whatever theme I have installed?

Yes I know that to do new themes you have to uninstall old ones first and I did that!

Thanks in advance!

search for a program called webos repair utility download it and then run it. that should take care of it.

That would be cool if you owned a GTO.

Would be even better if it said "Goatse"

you need to open the menu and use the override option but it will remove all tweaks and patches as well

ok tried to run the repair utility but wasn't compatible so I clicked the Override and still not compatible... saw that it said download current version of the Doctor so that is what it is doing right now

15% completed so far

did the phone show menu option and then you 'just charged'?

well, I would restart the computer with the phone plugged in. I usually had problems with novacom

well i have the patch that takes it to "Just Charge by Default".

Also I "reinstalled" the novacom thing and it said that it worked! but I can try a restart, not like I have anything to loose at this point

all you have to do its run the emergency patch recovery in preware and it will go away. Trust me
