Careful when using lunaprop though. If it cannot find the 'com.palm.*' file in /var/preferences it will create a directory and file. Misuse could lead to potential bloat in the FS.

To whome it may concern:

there is a small error in the wiki, under the backdoor page:

predev.wikidot.com/backdoor

this line:

[code]
adduser -H /home/$MYUSER $MYUSER #You'll be asked to set your password here
[/code]

should be:
[code]
adduser -h /home/$MYUSER $MYUSER #You'll be asked to set your password here
[/code]

should be lowercase -h, not -H

I tried to edit it, but was denied. How do we get access to the wiki?

The good news, I can now SSH to my pre :-)

We have 1700+ ipks all ready to go for the Palm Pre at

See NSLU2-Linux - Optware / HomePage browse for more details.

I love the images in /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.firstuse/images.

Esp the ones with names like sim_card_1.png, sim_card_2.png, sim_card_3.png, sim_card_instructions_1.png, sim_card_instructions_2.png, sim_card_instructions_3.png, sim_card_instructions_4.png, sim_card_instructions_5.png.... and Sim_card.png.


Just my personal favorites in that folder.

Someone has posted this in the Forum:
-----------------------------------------------------
Default CPU Frequency 500Mhz (from /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh)

#
# Set default cpufreq (BUG: need to set twice!)
#
echo 600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed
echo 500000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed
-----------------------------------------------------------

This is what I am wondering:

Why 600MHz first then set it to 500 MHz? Is Pre capable of running at 600MHz?

What if, we change the second line to 600000. Will it result in higher clock speed?

Has Palm turned down the speed for power consumption?

From the look of this code. I am guessing YES.

PS: I don't have a Pre YET. My contract doesn't expire until the end of August. Damn. I wish I had one now.

I think I'm going to Pre my pants! :-)

Just in case people don't know, the *.class files can be decompiled from java byte code (.class) back into source (.java) files. I've used a program named "jad" (JAva Decompiler) to do this in the past.

jad can be downloaded from here:
JAD Java Decompiler Download Mirror | Tomas Varaneckas

Then you run a command like the following to traverse the class tree and to create a parallel src tree containing the "java" files. (Sorry, this won't have all the interesting comments from the original source but it will be a head start in understanding what we have here!)

jad -o -r -sjava -dsrc com/**/*.class

What can be done thats shady?

I thought his was all open source.

From what I understand from reading about the Cortex A8 at the OpenPandora site, it's capable of up to 1GHz, but generally clocked at 600mHz. If Palm is running at 500mHz, it's either for power consumption reasons, or so they have a secret weapon against the iPhone 3GS.

WebOS is not open source. If it was, we wouldn't be dissecting the ROM.

Has anyone tried to fix the EAS without ssl issue?

The interesting EAS stuff seems to be in complied java code, not accessible with what we have right now.

I was able to get root using VirtualBox on Linux. Not a great solution, but it might help anyone with a Windows XP VM available.

In VBox I had to disable USB2.0 support and in Windows I had to upgrade to SP2

Once you get it rooted, and setup the backdoor, you don't need windows anymore, which is a good thing.

It was an access perms typo on my part. There is no intent to make it invite only, but we do have moderators equipped to enforce the legality aspect of the channel now. We're serious about #webos-internals staying legit.

Just ask in the #webos-internals IRC channel, the password is available to anyone who wants to contribute (but will not be posted publicly, to try and prevent spammers).

I'm still catching up on reading through the thread. Before starting to read throug all the messages in this thread, I untarred the jar file and ran jad (java dissasembler) on the com/* subdir in order to get a java sources. You should be able to look at the code in the subdir below (after running jad) to get an idea of what the operational stages are and what they do.

$ pwd
/users/rclancy/Downloads/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint/src/com/palm
$ find nova/installer/core/stages
nova/installer/core/stages
nova/installer/core/stages/BaseStage.java

Hope this helps - (back to catching up on what you all are saying in this thread now)

If I'm not mistaken the files seems to point that the GSM Pre will have the MSM6260, which only does 3.6Mbps HSDPA.

FWIW (in case some of you don't know what busybox is), busybox is an embedded Linux. I have it in my actiontec (Verizon) DSL modem. It's probably here so that our phones can call the mother ship to see if updates are available. (I wouldn't be surprised if this either controls or gets called by the logic that knows when our phone has a high-bandwidth network connection which it considers safe for OTA updates.) - I'm still catching up on this thread, so bear with me if this was "already" suggested and I'm just "behind" in my reading!

thank you guys for everything. i just finished my first tweak -- adding reddit.com to the global search! if anyone wants to know how let me know and ill add it to the wiki.

since this is my first post i cant add a link to the screen shot, but if you PM me ill send you one. i'm also posting the screenshot on the programming subreddit.

BullCrAP! We probably don't have the kernel source, but all the java code is easily reverse (de)compiled. (See my other post on how to do this.)

Regarding some people's concern about viruses being more prevalent, the opposite is true for open-source code. Many eyeballs can spot security vulnerabilities faster than a single team can. Typically, when these are discovered, the person discovering it tries to raise the attention of someone who can fix it. If they're unsuccessful at that, the next step is to publish the vulnerability on the Internet. Publishing the vulnerability creates an "emergency" for the vendor to patch the vulnerability before an exploit occurs. In this case, Palm would just make the fix and push it out with an OTA update. Nothing to worry about here. Having the source available to scruiting is really a good thing in this case!
