Now just so everyone knows. Patches are a very very difficult beast, so this isn't going to be perfect. Rare situations may arise now or in the future where certain patches being updated together cause incompatible removal behavior, so EPR will still be available for it's originally intended purpose: Emergency Patch Recovery.

So if there are any sticky issues with updating the patches, in the first ever huge massive update all frenzy, EPR 2.1.0 may be requirement to get to a "clean" slate.

I've updated the first post, forgot to mention dummy package placeholders:

These dummy packages may serve as a placeholder so that when they are ported to the new WebOS version you will see the Update available in Preware. This will be useful to know when a patch has been ported to the new WebOS version after an OTA update without having to check the forums every so often.

Thanks a lot, nice work guys!


It was running well on all my patches until it got hung up on multimod.
I received the "failure during pre-remove script execution" error.
So I decided to just run EPR.
It didn't work, multimod is still there and I can't remove or update it.

Awesome, though hitting the "Okay" button to confirm the scripts 30 times is a tiny bit of a pain.

do a partial erase to remove all package data if you don't have a ton of apps or remove them via the command line. (come to #webos-internals on freenode for command line help)

and then re-install them, the AUPT patches will be installed which are smart enough to know whether they are already applied to the OS.

I have 3 patches that won't update or uninstall:

Virtual Keyboard (says md5sum : can't open '/usr/palm/frameworks/mojo/submissions/200.72/templates/kbselector/char-ls.html.webosinternals.orig' and then 5 others although the file is different)

Hide App Vendors
Hunk #1 Failed at 1579

Command Line
/media/crytofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinterals.patches.universal-search-command-line/universal-search-command-line.patch: No such file or directory exists


Any help?

Anyone running into sticky issues, if you were ever thinking of doctoring/erasing now would be a good time. Ensuring you are starting with a fresh OS root file system for AUPT patching. Doctor doesn't take too long and doesn't erase your /media partition anymore. If you want to avoid it though please come to #webos-internals channel on freenode for better help with the transition for some of the rare odd issues you encounter.

FWIW, I used WOSQI to remove and reinstall the patch I was having issues with (Hide App Vendors). While I got the IPKG errors both upon removing and reinstalling the patch, it was, in fact, removed and reinstalled. I then reset Luna, reopened Preware, and there was the updated version of this patch, installed and working. I realize visiting the Dr. and starting with a clean platform is best practice, but for those who just want to get through the updates (it's late on this continent) this fix should work (at least for now), assuming the devs approve.

whoa this is huge!!!

NOTE: if anyone is having trouble installing the virtual keyboard. just remove the "virtual-keyboard" file from your Pre via USB. Then start Preware and download the VK patch. that worked for me.
