not sure if this is what you're looking for, but here's instructions for running the bypass acitvation tool:

Developing on an Unactivated Device - HP webOS Developer Center

However, since you're up to WebOS 2.1, you may be able to use the alternate instructions for 2.0 devices, which don't require the bypass activation tool:

webOS 2.0 Devices
The activation-bypass tool is not needed for webOS 2.0 devices.

1.Go to the phone app.
2.On a GSM phone, press "#*DEVMODE#", followed by the call button. On a CDMA phone, press "##DEVMODE#". (If the device is GSM, and there is no SIM card, a screen may be displayed instructing you to install one. Just begin typing the "#*" and the phone app will appear.)
3.The Developer Mode scene will be displayed.
4.Select "On". You will be prompted to re-boot the device.

yes, the alternate instructions work for 2.0 and 2.1 and then add the bypass patch to be able to create/use a profile to buy/use the app catalog.

It's under step 3 of the 2.1 Upgrade Instructions:

what bypass app? show first use app not working on 2.1. thanks man

It's best to post questions in the forums so that everyone can see it and beneft from the answers.

But, the specifics of how this works, once you've bypassed you are using a Pre that isn't logged in to a profile. Then you install the bypass patch, and run the "gesture tutorial" - which used to be known as the first-use icon. If the patch is installed correctly, it will offer you the opportunity to login to or create a profile. The only advantage of this is that it will give you access to apps you've already purchased. Apps aren't transferrable between profiles.

@Cantaffordit what bypass app? show first use app not working on webos 2.1

**Cantaffordit** · 03/21/2011, 11:37 PM

You are looking for a patch in preware called "Enable Profile Creation Activation Bypassed".

Install that, restart, and then run the gesture tutorial, and you should be all set.

**Cantaffordit** · 03/29/2011, 01:01 AM

You will only be able to use WiFi unless you activate your phone with a carrier. Are you planning to activate it with a carrier?

I use verizon Pre plus, but im not in US. I have no plan to activated it, thats why i need baypass it. 1.4.5 done well and can use app catalog. But in 2.1.0 i cant use it

**alexander__ekin** · 03/29/2011, 01:14 AM

Im back to 1.4.5 now

**Cantaffordit** · 03/29/2011, 02:36 AM

I was able to make the catalog work with
bypass on 2.0

at some point you might want to give 2.x another try after recompiling the meta-doctor.

**alexander__ekin** · 03/29/2011, 09:56 PM
