What were you reading in order to do your comm board swap?

[Sadhiq]

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to use the full app catalog with this method.

In my case, I have a Pixi Plus from Vodafone Germany, and I've activated it in Belgium.
I've got access to a very limited number of apps and no paid apps.
A year ago, I had a Pre Plus from France, activated in France (second-hand) and I had full access to the app catalog in Belgium.

Any help ? (It's just information now, as there might be a "vietnamese update" soon

Goodday all,

new to the forums, have been reading a lot in the last two days,

I am a long time Palm user, started with a Vx, followed by several TX's and still using my good old Treo 680

Rod thanks for the meta doctor!
GRNDSLM thanks for the guide!

Apart from the forum I also had a look at the webOS internals wiki.

Still do all that info leaves me whit a question.

I bought a Palm Pre Plus, from Germany, new Vodafone stock, but not sim-locked or branded (qwertz)

Before I start to use it, I would like some advice.
Basically it comes down to two things I want to do.

I want to update to webOS 2.x
I need to create a Palm profile and want access to the "European" app store.

Would the best thing be to update to 2.x first and then use Impostah to create a profile at wish?

In the thread about using Impostah for your wished profile it shows some differences between the app stores, any other site-wiki with more info on that? Which credit cards you can use, which implications my choice has?

Thanks for any info!

I'm having similar problems with my Pre +. Didn't do a comm board swap but getting problems with data. When I run a doctor image I get "Error Updating Modem Firmware!!!" errors and I wonder if there are any other build options to force the modem firmware install somehow?

Update to 2.x went perfectly fine with a standard doctor!

Can anyone break down how to install meta-doctor on snow leopard? I followed the wiki on webOS internals and completed steps 1 -5 but on step 6 i get bash git command not found, does anyone know what i am doing wrong or an alternate route to install meta doctor? I have my tokens and secured a pre plus i just need to get meta doctor loaded and working, if anyone could give me some advice or guidance it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advnace!

[grndslm]

An "alternate method" could be simply installing Ubuntu inside VirtualBox.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to just download the tools and make it happen.

[rwhitby]

MetaDoctor is developed on Snow Leopard, so should run fine.

That is an example URL for webOS 1.4.0 (which is no longer available).

You should use a predefined meta-script from the instructions on the WebOS Internals wiki for the procedure that you are following.

You should re-read the documentation in the Makefile before using various features. All your errors are explained there.

Hi. First of all i would like to thanks devs for this wonderful tool.
Got AT&T Pixi Plus unlocked Running 1.4.5 and am using it in india with Airtel.
Read all the 21 pages. still not able to get whats wrong ? I am getting file mismatch error.

Here is my MAKE File

# BYPASS_ACTIVATION = 1
BYPASS_FIRST_USE_APP = 1
ENABLE_DEVELOPER_MODE = 1
# AUTO_INSTALL_PREWARE = 1
# ENABLE_TESTING_FEEDS = 1
# INSTALL_SSH_AUTH_KEYS = 1
# INSTALL_WIFI_PROFILES = 1
DISABLE_UPLOAD_DAEMON = 1
DISABLE_UPDATE_DAEMON = 1
# DISABLE_MODEM_UPDATE = 1
ENABLE_USB_NETWORKING = 1
# REMOVE_MODEL_CHECK = 1
# REMOVE_CARRIER_CHECK = 1
# CHANGE_KEYBOARD_TYPE = z
# ADD_EXTRA_CARRIERS = 1
# VAR_PARTITION_SIZE = 2GB
# SWAP_PARTITION_SIZE = 512MB
# EXT3FS_PARTITION_SIZE = 2GB

# Select "pre", "preplus", "pixi", "pixiplus", "pre2", "veer" or "touchpad".
DEVICE = "pixiplus"

# Select "wr", "sprint", "verizonwireless", "bellmo", "telcel", "att" or "wifi".
CARRIER = "att"


And this is the error i am getting.

nisarg@ubuntu:~/meta-doctor$ make DEVICE=pixiplus CARRIER=wr all

Why is it saying [: 3: p121ewweu: unexpected operator
[: 3: 1.4.5: unexpected operator
if i rename it p121ewwatt-wr-1.4.5.jar it says file not found.

Thank you.

[rwhitby]

I suspect you did not follow the dash->bash setup instructions correctly.

I just tested that device/carrier combination and it builds fine.

Also, why do you have ENABLE_USB_NETWORKING = 1 ?

And why do you have carrier set to att in the Makefile, but wr on the command line?

Oops. thats where i was wrong. Solved it by renaming the file. Thanks a lot.
I have redited the MAKE file and added # ENABLE_USB_NETWORKING = 1 Since i thought it would be for tethering but it is not.
Just build the file successfully.
Thank you.

I'm not quite following your questions, but I'll try to answer...

(1) You can transfer the Doctor you have downloaded to the virtual machine, or you can re-download it when you boot up the virtual machine. Your choice.

(2) Yes. By running the Doctor, it will re-install Novacom and update you to whatever version of the Doctor you download (HP only has the latest doctor available for download, tho). You have the option of removing all ATT apps, as well as many other options. Your apps will be erased, but anything you've downloaded from the App Catalog will be restored, along with contacts, calendar, memos, etc... but not text messages, photos, etc. (I can't remember about photos, really, but better safe than sorry)

When i paste inside terminal

aptitude install git git-core patch build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-source-2.6.31 sun-java6-bin virtualbox-guest-additions virtualbox-ose-guest-x11

i recieve an answer that sounds like this:

aptitude can be found inside the following packages:
*apititude
*apititude-gtk
Try: apt-get install <selected package>

I don't know what to do...
I'm using Ubuntu 11
