Patch WebOS Bypassing Lock Screen - WebOS Internals

cowpen · 12/27/2011, 01:59 PM

Working for my 2.2.4 Pre 3 on ATT...
Finally! I've been waiting ages for this patch. I had previously understood that the means for circumventing the EAS PIN-lock policy setting was buried deep in the HP compiled code. And now it turns out it was just a simple line of code to uncomment? Arrgh!

As the two post above mentioned the Bypass PIN patch is fixed - Sounds like it wasn't in the binary after all - just needed to track down the right js file...

lingfish found the correct line in the new js code and uncommented it out with a new patch (can't for the life of me figure out how I missed it - palm even left a friendly comment for us) - it is released for all current vers (including 3.x on the TP).

And for future reference, all I had to do to get out of the mess in my post above was to doctor again and set a new pin before profile sync. I forgot that the PIN is not stored in your profile. Kinda the same fix/process we found after first frankenin our devices and forgetting that a PIN was set before the process on the original phone and we wiped it out during the process. Then installing the patches via the restore process thereby bypassing the required nonexistant PIN. This caused the dialer to lockup (when it is trying to access the EAS addressbook).

Doesn't work for me on Touchpad. It installs fine, but doesn't bypass the PIN. So now unless I want to webOS doctor, I'm stuck with a PIN-locked device. (Not even uninstalling Exchange account gets rid of the PIN.)

HI- newbie here- not really- but maybe technically challenged- I had a death in the family (my Palm Pixi Plus) and finally have a new one- trying to get back all my old patches- and can't get the bypassPIN to work- I see the instructions that it was recently updated to work again- but feel like I am missing something- I don't know how to do what they are suggesting...... how do I modify code? Can an average person do this??? Appreciate any help you can offer- It's taken me days to get it all back up and running and this is my final bit that is driving me crazy-thanks in advance!!

Just thought I would ask again- can anyone help me figure out how to make this latest "fix" work on my Palm Pixi Plus? I don't know how to update the code manually which seems to be the option suggested.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!!
