So I ended up swapping yet again back to the original Pre, doctoring to 1.4.5, made sure it was activated upon booting it up, swapped back and doctored to 2.1 on the Pre 2 and....
Activation Successful!

I did have trouble signing into my Palm Profile at first though. It wouldn't let me so I decided to just make a new profile, but it wasn't letting me do that either. I reset the device and when I booted it back up it let me sign into my original Palm Profile. Fantastic.

Lovin' life yet again.

My 2.0.1 meta doctored sprint pre 2 is wanting to OTA update to 2.1. Does the update affect it working on sprint?

It *should* be fine, but no guarantee. Let us know how it goes and be ready to doctor if you have to.

I personally experienced no problems, but you should backup your data before downloading the update. Save your package list in Preware, save your data using Save/Restore, then backup your USB data on your computer.

I did the update and it broke my messaging. I doctored back to 2.01 and all was well. I also updated from 1.4.5 to 2.01 (sprint pre 2) without deleting my profile backup, and had no issues.

That is a totally inadequate problem report.

I swapped the comboards on my VZW Pre Plus and my unlocked GSM Pre 2. How do I build the doctor for it now...

Follow WebOS 2 Upgrade - WebOS Internals and use the test-meta-verizon-frankenpre2-2.1.0 script instead of the sprint frankenpre2 script.

Report back with your results.

Ok will do.

[ursula]

Edit:

It's downloading, I'll report back.

Phone activated, profile is restored. Thanks Rod!

Sim toolkit is still on the phone

[rsanchez1]

Just ignore it, it won't do anything.

Yeah, everything is perfect. I ripped the sound ribbon to the volume rocker so I don't have functional volume rocker buttons, but the difference from the Plus to the Pre 2 is overwhelming so I don't really care lol.

If you re-doctor with the latest version of the script (now with the test- removed from the name), it will be gone.

so if the sprint pre--> franken pre2 (verizon/att unlocked pre2) doesn't require a token swap and only needs a comm swap,

can a sprint pre <--> sprint pre simply be a comm swap too and no token swap?

Yep, should work.

1) cool - good to know. So then if that logic is true, then could sprint pre minus (-) ==> att pre plus / verizon pre plus be also done iwthout a token swap?

2) GOT the pre2 unlocked at&t. Swapped Pre (-) to this Pre2. In the process of applying metasprintfrankenpre2 doctor now. All systems are go at 64% so far, will post back with results. Will attempt to sign in with the family member's 1.4.5 profile to upgrade them to 2.1.0 and sounds like that should work well

3) One issue more of a hardware issue - the family member's bezel near the volume had cracked so I carefully removed my annetenna bezel harness assy and kept my comm board for myself and received the cracked bezel on my phone. A little scotch tape to teh rescue for me and the family member pre2 is now pristine. I Have a leftover GSM bezel from teh pre 2 but looks like the GSM antenna is soldered in tight - no way to remove it. So i guess I will live with teh scotch tape unless anyone can mail me a CDMA spare bezel or ebay it. this phone of mine is the sprint pre plus which is working well apart from this has a USB door cracked (how hard is the front bezel /screen assy to swap (looks very hard and not worth it). If it aint broke...

Now rebooting the sprintPre2 = all looks good thus far with a linux webos tux on reboot (adddl $10 to webosinternals as soon as this all finishes rebooting adn login sucessful). Signin attempt #1 = data not restored error (but palm.com/palmprofile changed to 2.1.0!). Sign in attempt #2 restoring data, reboot. Device info 2.1.0 no dr. skipped first use = perfection!

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME work Rod!!!!!!!!!

[cyberprashant]

I just donated $10 more to @webosinternals for the sprint pre 2 - did you?

[cyberprashant]

only glitch thus far: voice dialer won't work for sprint pre2 app refuses to launch. This has happened to me on a sprint preplus->webos 2.1.0. solution was to re-metadoctor attempting that now....

I think the flash ipk or patch does something that interferes somehow...
