Man, I wish I didn't have to write this, but...I need to learn. I did a full wipe on my phone recently (4 days ago) because I goofed up my email and couldn't fix it. I'm trying to figure out how I could have just fixed my email using the OP instead of wiping my phone.
So, correct me if I'm wrong but I would done this (using QuickInstall):
-Tools, Send File, browse for the file "/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.email/app/controllers/list-assistant.js" on my PC
-Type "/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.email/app/controllers/" in the Destination folder
-Click Send to Device!
Are my file and destination correct?
FYI- I tried to do the delete/read all patch...got it working now because the great QuickInstall.

I don't have much experience with Macs, but I googled and found this:I have a mac and i tried using the archive utility and rarexpander and still still can't figure it out.

Seems like you have it correct. If the patch had happened to modify more than one file, and you are unable to find out what files then it would be safe to just port over the whole app folder from your PC to your Pre.Man, I wish I didn't have to write this, but...I need to learn.

So when I'm browsing for a file to send in send file, I can use a folder instead of a .js file?

I'm not so sure with Quick Install since I barely use it. I'll have to get back to you on it. I mainly use putty.So when I'm browsing for a file to send in send file, I can use a folder instead of a .js file?
thank you for this
for some reason my webOS dr wont work. ive tried installing it over again and still nothing. can someone please help me?
It doesn't work with QuickInstall, it won't allow a folder to be selected...
When you use putty, do you have to put the folder you want to replace on the pre in usb mode first, and then use the cp code? Or is there a way to copy something from your desktop to the pre in one line of code using cp?

You have to copy the contents from WebOS to the USB drive, then CP command from there. You can also use WinSCP to copy files/folders (wirelessly) from your PC to your Pre (and vice versa) directly.It doesn't work with QuickInstall, it won't allow a folder to be selected...

I don't know where you could obtain the ROM, but it is possible.
I wouldn't recommend it though because it could cause errors, crashes, etc if the file(s) start to call on services/files that don't exist.
I guess I could download the jar/WebOS Doctor ROM all over again to make sure, but is there another way to see which version I have, ie before or after the 1.1 webos update? Like a file somewhere inside that says the version number?It would if you obtained the WebOS Doctor ROM from the previous 1.1 firmware.

Where do I send the app launcher stylesheet?
dude abyssul, thanks a lot...this freakin saved me
If I'm getting errors when trying to apply tweaks, does this mean my phone may get messed up with the webos 1.2 update? I'm fixing most of the errors based on this tutorial just in case.
this is awesome, i think this will fix my problem but letme run it by you first. I installed the messagelandscape patch via Quick Install and upgraded to the newest version of quick install without first removing that tweak and the % in the battery with the old version. In prepping for the new 1.2 update I realized I couldn't remove message landscape or the % icon. Could I cp the original files and which files would these be? I think i might be in a pickle...

When WebOS 1.2 is released, I would actually recommend that you use WebOS Doctor to restore your Pre because it will ensure a clean OS without any possible faults.this is awesome, i think this will fix my problem but letme run it by you first.

Getting the following even after using your tips (which were simple btw) so it looks like I gotta go see the Doc... :?
ERROR: MD5 doesn't match. The file "/usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/stylesheets/launcher.css" is modified from its original state. Be sure to restore the original.

The files say "send successfully" but the WebOSCleaner still finds them and I still can't reinstall the virtual keyboard.

yeah, i finally gave it a go on /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/stylesheets/launcher.css for launcher opacity...sent successfully too, no go. Although, for now, i can still use this particular tweak using QI2.03. Still more interested in having VK...Getting the following even after using your tips (which were simple btw) so it looks like I gotta go see the Doc... :?

It's also quite obvious most of us are going to have to see the DR. before we upgrade...I have yet to see any fixes for any of these errors...Thanks for all the work...maybe i'll shut up and try it thru root...what do i have to lose?
im using this code and copying it in Novaterm, it's asking what to do with it. Multiple destinations, overwrite, what? im going to just disconnect until i know what i should do from here
WebOS Repair Utility has left this procedure depreciated, but it is still useful.
