Don't forget to go into dev mode or whatever. I was having all the same issues with the device not found, but i had forgotten to change modes!

just start typing on the home screen. It will move itself into a search window, but DONT HIT ENTER. The devmode button will pop up by itself once you hit that last t !

I can't get my web os to work right I have tried to download it a few times it opens but I can't go into file then options it does nothing at all. Also windows Vista won't download Novacom it did the first time but then I deleted it now nothing????? please help i'm lost.
I used the method described by Jason for installing Novacomd (from WebOS Doctor 1.3.1) on my Windows 7 - 64 bit PC. I edited the MSI x64 installer with Orca, and then installed Novacomd. However, when I try to open WOQI 2.96 , I get a Java Virtual Machine error indicating that Java "could not find the main class" in the location where I have saved WOQI.
I have the latest JAVA version 6 update 17. I have Java set to open WOQI 2.96 with JAVA-AW. That's the Java app that produces the "could not find main class" error. When I use a different Java(TM) Platform SE Binary, or any other Java app that is listed in the Java folder then I have a DOS or command prompt sequence open very quickly and then close. Nothing else opens. WOQI does not ask me any further information. I can't do anything else with it. It doesn't open any additional programs or prompts.
I have cold started, restarted, deleted, reinstalled, tried different USB hubs so many different times over the past three days, I couldn't begin to recreate when and what order I've done things. I installed Java Virtual and the SDK.
I know in my heart that JAVA is not playing nice with Windows 7 but I can't get a consistent description of what needs to be corrected or how. I waited almost 6 months to start playing with the Pre. Over the past several days I've put many hours in trying to install WOQI to tweak or theme it. I am about to call it quits. I would appreciatie any help or suggestions before I give up.

Man i have tried everything to get this webos theme installer working ive tried for 6 hours straight and no matter what i always get the NOVACOM failed in the black box.....is there anything i can do to get this novacom running. i have a windows vista OS...not sure what "bit" it is or even what that means and if it affects anything...im computer illiterate as u can see but if there is anyone that can help me it would be appreciated. thank you.
Am I Stupid??? Wheres the Download link
Is there anyway that you can help me get webosquickinstall on my computer. I'm tryin to download mytether on my Pre palm.
Hi guys. My Novacom install seems to freeze on me. This happens after the webos quick instal program and the doctor program have been downloaded. I have tried all the techniques on the troubleshooting section of this site. Including the Orca code delete. What i did notice though, when doing orca is that the line of the code to delete has xp at the end of the first set o characters.
My phone is in dev mode but this has nothing to do with the phone. I need Novacom on my computer at this point and the download freezes. Then when i plug my phone in, I notice that in device manager from "my computer" there is a yellow question mark for an unknown novacom device. So i believe it is the drivers that are not loading properly.
Im running windows XP, Any ideas?

I have downloaded the doctor program via the downloaded "WEBOSQuickInstall.jar" file and then the install quit, I then have tried to restart download and all I get is the WEBOS Quick Install box that seems dead.
For example, I looked at help and tried options and I can't see anywhere to re check if the Novacom has installed, so I looked at the windows guide and it is for Windows 7 and I have a XP Prof. on a Lenovo T60-32 bit machine.
I have been working on this now for 3 hrs.
Any ideas?

Ok This is getting rediculous. Ive done the installation step by step on the 45 page PFD istallation guide and i cant get this novacom thing to recognize my phone it. In the top right corner if you hover over the PRE device everything says "ready to use" but.......good old novacom keeps saying "waiting for user input..." Any clue to what I do????

Thanks a million dude. Its simple detailed step by step guides like this that we need more of in our forums (and it really helps that u have all the links for the necessary programs).
I assume his instructions are still referring to 1.2.1. With 1.3.1, the new file to delete is the one you found. Just installed it myself with no issues.I followed the steps one by one.

Works for me.
FYI, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and just ran WebOS Doctor 1.3.1 on my phone without any of this novacom setup. I installed the latest Java, ran the WebOS Doctor jar, pulled the battery and plugged into the ac adapter w/ volume up for usb mode, plugged it into the computer and ran the restore. Windows 7 auto installed any necessary novacom drivers and the restore was successful.

I got Novacom installed on my Win7 x64 box and can connect to the Pre just fine
using novacom -t ... , however I can no longer use vi.
Comparing with my Win XP x32 I see I had a novaterm.exe
and it was compatible with the vt100 terminal type, while novacom -t is a dumb terminal.
I tried the novaterm.exe on my Win7 box, and while it will connect
and give me prompt, it blows up as soon as I type anything.
Is there some way to fix this? Is there a real novaterm.exe for Win7 x64?
Or some way to force a working terminal type with novacom?

I'm not getting the option to "open with Orca" It always opens it with notepad. Please help. I'm using Vista 32 bit. I think.
wouldnt it be easier just to post an edited .msi for everone to download?
