I've acquired a used Bell Pre and I've been trying to get meta-doctor to patch webOS. I've walked through the steps on the official meta-doctor page, downloading the official webOS doctor from palm (1.4.5), editing the make file, and reflashing the device. No matter what options I pick, the Pre still starts up the same way, asking to login or create a new Palm Profile. Wth?

Have you tried the Palm Bypass Activation tool?

If the device has Canadian language settings, the ShowFirstUse patch from Preware will not work.

Aahhhh... I did not know that...

How about the Advanced Configuration for App Launcher patch?? This will unhide first use, passthrough, dev mode, etc by default with option to hide them later.
