the script is safe for 1.2.1. OP updated.

[varoomba]

On your site, you have the following two files posted:

patch_roam-1.2.1-TM.sh
patch_roam-1.2.1.sh

What's the difference?

TM is the one you download to the pre. Run it once to patch. Run a second time to restore.

Sorry for not quite understanding...

From root, do I type:

wget -qO- http://www.nucleardecay.net/pre/patch_roam-1.2.1.sh | /bin/sh

or

wget -qO- http://www.nucleardecay.net/pre/patch_roam-1.2.1-TM.sh | /bin/sh

When would/should I use the TM file?

tm will only run from the local machine. It will not work through the wget pipe.

if you are using the wget pipe only use the one without the TM.

if you are using the tm version, execute it locally via the commands in the code box on the op.

WebOS 1.3.1 released, could you please post a updated shell script when time allows. Thanks in advance.

I took a quick look at the new source and it looks like they have changed a lot this time around. it is probably going to take more than the usual edit I'm afraid. I didn't look at it long though.

devz3ro, in the meantime you can use the patch for "roam only in device menu" patch.

[devz3ro]

Is the patch you speak of from 'Jason' on the following thread:

http://forums.precentral.net/webos-p...-topbar-2.html

If so, how would I install this? Just wget, chmod and ./execute?

I want to keep this pre as virgin as possible (if possible).

[fain]

Ok, after some blood, sweat and tears i got it to work with 1.3.1. enjoy...

Any chance on getting an update for 1.3.5.1? My phone downloaded the update, and killed the roam only hack . Is 1.3.5.2 coming out in North America anytime soon?

Sorry, I have been using the roam only patch for the device menu. I like it allot better. No need to go in to phone prefs anymore.

It is located in preware and should be on webOs quick install as well.

Just curious, why would someone want this?

well well if you are just a bit out of sprints range and there is still a small sprint signal the pre will stay connected to sprint leaving you with almost no bars. A roam only patch will allow you to force the phone onto anther network with better reception.

I am really stuck and could use some major help, please! I did everything at that link and when I go into novaterm it is blank and then I hit "connect" then it says "root@palm-webos-device:/#" I have no idea what to do after that, help would be greatly appreciated!

what ever you do do not use this patch.

I have not updated it for quite some while.

root@palm-webos-device:/#

is what you call a command prompt in linux under the administrator account named root on the host palm-webos-device.

normally you would enter the wget command at that prompt but that depends on what version of webos your are on. I believe you are on 1.4 so DO NOT USE THIS PATCH. It will probably brick your phone prefs.

[kc93]

I already used that patch and it didn't do anything. Do you know what I need to do next? I am completely lost. Thank you.

Preware and/or WebOS Quick Install are the easiest ways to go.

The information on WebOS Internals works as an alternative too. It hasn't been updated since 1.3.1, but everything works. The only thing different for 1.4 or 1.3.5 is the line numbers (there is more code so the line locations you need to edit have changed, simple perform a find for the content and you're good).
