I just converted a Verizon Pre Plus to an O2 Pre Plus by swaping out the whole back half of the phone and slider. I know the comms board is the only thing that needs swapping but the pre plus I bought was missing a keyboard so this was easier. Anyway, everything went fine, followed the instructions and it worked like a charm. But then I found a problem. I can't charge my battery. The lightning bolt icon appears to show that it's connected but when I look in Govnah the current draw is around -14mA instead of being +xxxmA. I left it charging for about 2 hours and the battery charge dropped by 1%. I double checked the tokens for the battery and they are correct. Any idea what is going on?

EDIT:
The battery is fine as I was just using it in my Pre- before the upgrade.

How did you transfer the tokens? I bet you didn't use Show Properties. I really wish a moderator could fix the first post to say this.

Double check the tokens, as this always happens when the tokens aren't correct. Usually the last few numbers are left out of the batt tokens.

Did you use Show Properties app?

It seems ROD was answering this at the same time I Was typing my reply.

No, I just used Interlanz Pro and took a photo with my camera. Luckily I can still boot the old Pre and access the tokens so I wont have to do more disassembly and assembly. I'll post back with results of my findings.

Go back to the person who told you to capture your tokens that way, and tell them that it's a really really bad idea to do it that way, and they should tell people to use the Show Properties app instead. Please, go do that right now. Yes, right now - tell that person right now, cause I'm getting sick of continually telling people that what you did is the wrong way to do it.

Well your way was a complete success. I now have a Pre Plus with an un-doctered webOS 2.1 and the ability to charge a battery I just checked and the author of this guide hasn't been online since last year. Maybe a moderator could make a modification to the guide?

I not going to do this myself but i was just messing around with cygwin to try to learn. This is the error message im getting,
fatal: destination path "meta-doctor" already exists and it is not an empty directory.

What do I do next?

Continue to read up and learn.

ok, I have a new error here, trying to "2" my sprint pre-, planning on a comm board swap, have my tokens ready, but I keep running into issues with my meta-doctor process.. I was getting the error when trying to make unpack: please download the correct version and move to downloads/webos...
so, I renamed the dr file to webosdoctorsprint-.jar and ran make unpack again, this time it gets farther, but end up getting error 11.. Specifically: caution: filename not matched: redources/sprint.tat, make: *** [build/pre2--sprint-/.unpacked] Error 11
I've tried to follow the Wiki, but I keep getting the same problem. :/

[SprintPre-1983]

I am getting ready to do a pre plus conversion.

Here is the token file I e-mailed myself is these all the tokens or am I missing some It seems the list on the openeing post has a lot more? I put question marks in insteed of my values to be safe.

<Section name="tokens" type="token" size="4KB">
<Val name="BATToCH" value="?" action="overwrite"/>
<Val name="BATToRSP" value="?" action="overwrite"/>
<Val name="DMCARRIER" value="?" action="overwrite"/>
<Val name="DMCLoAUTHNAME" value="?" action="overwrite"/>
<Val name="DMCLoAUTHPW" value="?" action="overwrite"/>
<Val name="DMCLoNONCE" value="?" action="overwrite"/>
<Val name="DMMODEL" value="?" action="overwrite"/>
<Val name="DMSVRoAUTHPW" value="?" action="overwrite"/>
<Val name="DMSVRoNONCE" value="bz?" action="overwrite"/>
<Val name="ModemSN" value="?" action="overwrite"/>

It worked! Whoo hoo! I've never been so thrilled to have essentially a replacement for my previous device! What a thrill it was to see the phone connect and have it say "Sprint" in the upper left-hand corner. My family members were in the room when I did it, and I started showing them, saying, "Look, it says Sprint!" They thought I was a little crazy.

[RJKinsman]

I think you need all of the tokens shown on the first page. I found when you do "Generate Tokens File" in the "Show Properties" application, there are two choices -- "Comms Board Swap" and "Full" I did "Comms Board Swap" first, and found that some of the values were not there, so then I did "Full"

You tell 'em, Rod! I used "Show Properties" and it was stupid-easy!

Thanks to Viperian86 I got my phone working last night, i did the sprint 1.4.5 doctor last night and it works great. One difference that I do notice is that my pre minus had median sync option when it was usb connected and now I no longer have that option. Any reason why?

[malpha]

So about the tokens and meta-doctor:

I have a Verizon Pre+ coming in and I'm currently on a Sprint Pre- meta-doctored to 2.1.

When I make the meta-doctor for the swap, is it okay to use the tokens from the 2.0 Pre-? Do I have to re-doctor to an official Sprint webOS (1.4.5)? Also, should I go through the entire process here, including meta-doctoring to Sprint 1.4.5, or can I skip meta-doctoring to Sprint 1.4.5 and meta-doctor straight to 2.1.0?

Which values did you find were missing that were needed for the comms board swap?

Install "Show Properties" from the apps section of Preware.

all the tokens require for the swap are there when you choose "comm board swap". Look again.

[mu7efcer]

Which values did you find were missing that were needed for the comms board swap?

The front page said that I needed these tokens. They were not available in "Comms Board Swap" in the show properties app:

<Val name="ProdSN" action="overwrite" value="x"/>
<Val name="WIFIoADDR" action="overwrite" value="x"/>
<Val name="BToADDR" action="overwrite" value="x"/>
<Val name="PalmSN" action="overwrite" value="x"/>
<Val name="PRODoID" action="overwrite" value="x"/>
<Val name="PN" action="overwrite" value="x"/>

Here are the values that I got from Show Properties -> Comms Board Swap

<Section name="tokens" type="token" size="4KB">
    <Val name="BATToCH" value="x" action="overwrite"/>
    <Val name="BATToRSP" value="x" action="overwrite"/>
    <Val name="DMCARRIER" value="Sprint" action="overwrite"/>
    <Val name="DMCLoAUTHNAME" value="x" action="overwrite"/>
    <Val name="DMCLoAUTHPW" value="x" action="overwrite"/>
    <Val name="DMCLoNONCE" value="x" action="overwrite"/>
    <Val name="DMMODEL" value="x" action="overwrite"/>
