cant remove patch

scotth44 · 11/08/2010, 10:35 AM

i cannot remove a few patches i did a full erase and left this browser patch now i cant remove it and my webpages keep refreshing i cant read them without it going back to the the top.the patches don't show up in preware so i cant see them and a full erase will not fix the problem.the patch is the bookmark tile button i tried to reinstall and it will not work how can i remove this?

Run (EPR) Emergency Patch Recovery. It's located in Preware under Available other > Linux application > Utility.

vza33 gives good advice

I would add that, if you cannot remove it via preware, try hooking it up to webOS Quick Install and finding/removing the patch that way. This has worked for me in the past with a stubborn patch I somehow installed incorrectly, and preware did not see it.

good luck!

Try the Reconstruction Utility. It should make the patch(es) appear in your 'Installed Packages' list.

If not, try WebOS Repair Utility. That will go through your phone and replace any modified files with stock ones.

For your issue, the Doctor will definitely work.

Have those webpages always done that?

Try the WebOS Quick Install to remove that patch. Comes in handy when Preware no longer sees it nor can remove it for some reason.

scotth44 · 11/08/2010, 06:25 PM

no my webpages never done this but it's just certain ones.and it's just when i try to link through tweed the page just keeps refreshing.

It only runs when you install it, just like EPR.

okay thanks, well i install epr and recon utility and still ive noticed a few patches are on my phone but not showing up ... any other tips on trying to remove or recover them?

vza33 · 11/13/2010, 02:53 AM

In some cases you need to run EPR more than once.
