Keys modified by SYM behave similarly to pressing Option or Shift in webOS: Press SYM once, then the key to get the equivalent, or double-press SYM to go into SYM-lock mode, and press it again to leave.
Note that there is no visual confirmation for the state of any modifier keys.

== How to get webOS ROM ==

You can download webOS ROM for your specific Palm device at http://ws.palm.com/webosdoctor/serialnumberinitial.htm

The Software and supporting documentation may be copied only as necessary for backup or archive purposes in support of your use of the Software.

So we can't host different versions of it anywhere - the best we can do is record the md5sums of the versions we know about so that individuals can match this to the files they have for use with their Palm device.

== MD5 sums ==

Here is a list of all the versions that we know about (with md5sums for each, and the build date and build number as displayed in the title bar of the webOS Doctor):

WebOS 2 Upgrade

2011-03-03T03:51:54Z

Innocentbystander: /* Performance */

= Overview =
With the release of the webOS 2.1.0 doctor by HP for O2 and Vodafone Pre+ devices, there is now a legal way to get webOS 2.1 onto the legacy devices of carriers that are not onboard with the 2.x upgrade. Compatible devices include all Pre and Pre Plus devices. This is not compatible with Pixi devices.

= Disclaimer =
'''This is a process that uses official HP software in unofficial ways. You should always be prepared for the unlikely possibility that your device may be completely wiped and your Palm profile may be permanently destroyed. Do not proceed unless you have made appropriate backups and are OK with that. Working knowledge of MetaDoctor and Linux systems in general is needed.'''

If you feel the need to ask whether you should do this on your primary phone, then you should not, as that indicates that you have not yet taken the required precautions and backups in case something goes wrong.

= Other Tutorials =
'''Note that this wiki page is always the authoritative source of information about this process, so you should refer to this page first for any and all instructions. Here are some other pages which you may find useful in addition to this page. They do not replace the information on this page, which you should read from top to bottom first.''' 
''PreCentral'' forum user @malpha recorded a two-part [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJB8NJ72kZg video overview] of the process as she followed this step-by-step. {Sprint Pre-, Ubuntu} 
''PreCentral'' forum user @djwhitey recorded a 9-minute [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF2ciiNFxLc walkthrough] (includes Activation Error). {Sprint Pre-, Win7 x86, Ubuntu Server 10.04} 
''PreCentral'' forum user @innocentbystander has written a start-to-finish guide to installing and building the Meta Doctor under Mac OS 10.6 for those with little or no experience with the command line. It can be found [http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2885787 here].

= Using MetaDoctor Scripts =

Note: Scripts currently exist for the following devices:
* Sprint Pre/FrankenPre+
* Verizon Pre+
* AT&T Pre+
* "WR" devices
* Telcel Pre
* Bell Mobility Pre
* O2 German Pre (or similar)
* O2 German Pre+ (or similar)

The meta-o2-* scripts do not masquerade.
WR folks should try them first, and if they get a 9.9.9 in the palm profile, use the meta-wr-* scripts instead and masquerade.

== Step 0: Backup your device ==
Make sure you have copies of all the data that you want to preserve from your palm profile. There is a possibility that you will need to clear your palm profile to be successful in this upgrade, so you should act as if that is going to happen from the start.

Also, make sure you run the Save/Restore application from Preware to back up your application data - you don't want to lose your Angry Birds progress, do you?

Then copy all the files from the USB drive onto your PC to keep them safe, including music, downloads, and pictures. The webOS Doctor has been known to wipe your USB drive without warning, so you should act as if that is going to happen from the start.

If your phone is set to use the Palm Profile as the default location for contacts you may want to manually export these. To check how many palm profile contacts you have: Contacts App -> Preferences & Accounts -> tap "Palm Profile" under the "accounts" subsection.
To manually export contacts see this post: [http://forums.precentral.net/webos-synergy-synchronization/215705-howto-transfer-contacts-palm-profile-gmail-yahoo-mail-easier-way-2.html#post2886607 PreCentral Forums - How To Transfer contacts]

A guide for backing up using Save/Restore can be found [http://www.precentral.net/backing-your-application-data-settings-save-restore-homebrew here].

== Step 1: Install Prerequisites ==
* '''MetaDoctor''' - see [[Application:MetaDoctor]] for information on how to install MetaDoctor
* '''Palm SDK ''' - see [http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=page&id=1661 Palm Developer Website]

== Step 2: Prepare your Palm Profile ==
With unsupported carrier/device/OS combinations, it may be necessary to clear some Palm Profile data to allow you to sign in on webOS 2.x devices. The process is as follows:
'''Warning: this will delete data from your Palm Profile, including but not limited to: calendars, contacts, account information, email signatures, bookmarks, memos, tasks, SSM/MMS messages, and icon/launcher arrangement.'''
# Open the Backup app.
# Turn off backups, confirming that you wish to erase your palm profile information.

'''This step is extremely important if you find that after finishing the webOS 2.1 installation your saved apps don't download to your device automatically and your Palm Profile account name under Accounts is "Dr. Skipped Firstuse". You should delete your profile info and Doctor again.'''

== Step 3: Run device-specific MetaDoctor script ==
The MetaDoctor scripts will automatically download the latest necessary webOS doctors, extract and replace CDMA radio firmware as necessary, and will build and launch the modified webOS Doctor.

'''From the meta-doctor directory''', run the meta-script that corresponds to your advice. For example, a Sprint user would run:
<pre><nowiki>
./scripts/meta-sprint-pre-2.1.0
</nowiki></pre>

A list of all the scripts can be found by typing
<pre><nowiki>
ls ./scripts/
</nowiki></pre>

For those who for what ever reason can't activate their phones and need to skip first use and get wifi started to sign into their profiles, just add "--wifi-only" as an extra argument to the meta-script:

For example, a user with a Sprint device who was never going to connect to the Sprint cellular network would run:
<pre><nowiki>
./scripts/meta-sprint-pre-2.1.0 --wifi-only
</nowiki></pre>

Then, when your device boots after step 4, all you need to do is configure and start wifi and then run the Gesture Tutorial and you should be good to go. Note that in this case the end of the palm profile login procedure will appear to cycle forever, so just manually reboot the device using Opt-Sym-R when that happens.

== Step 4: Run the modified webOS Doctor ==
The meta-script will automatically launch the modified webOS Doctor for you. However, if you need to move it to a different location and run it manually, the modified doctor will be a '''.jar''' file located in the build output directory:
<pre><nowiki>meta-doctor/build/meta-sprint-pre-2.1.0/webosdoctorp101ueude-wr-2.1.0.jar</nowiki></pre>

Note that the directory path will change from that example based on which script you ran, and the script will tell you the exact pathname shortly after it starts running.

Do not USB connect the phone until WebOS Doctor specifically says to.

== Step 5: Restore /etc/palm-build-info ==
Since some devices have to "masq" their OS version from the Palm Profile to gain access to the App Catalog, some meta-scripts will leave a '''palm-build-info-unmasqed''' file in the ./meta-doctor directory. To get applications like Preware to offer you the correct selection of patches, etc. you will need to "unmasq" your phone.

This is done by replacing the /etc/palm-build-info file ''on your phone'' with the ./meta-doctor/palm-build-info-unmasqed file ''on your computer'', and then rebooting.

Choose '''one''' of the following methods '''after''' you have logged in to your Palm Profile:<blockquote>

=== Via a Terminal, with Novacom ===
# Make sure '''novacomd''' is running on your computer
# Open up a terminal (Linux, OS X, Cygwin, Windows "CMD.exe") on your host computer (not your phone) and change back to the meta-doctor directory. then type in the following:
<blockquote>
<pre><nowiki>
novacom run file://usr/sbin/rootfs_open -t
novacom put file://etc/palm-build-info < palm-build-info-unmasqed
novacom run file://sbin/reboot</nowiki></pre>
</blockquote>
:3. Reboot

=== Copy the File to the USB Partition ===
# Attach your phone to your computer and put it in "USB Drive" mode.
# Copy the ./meta-doctor/palm-build-info-unmasqed file over to your Phone's USB Drive.
# Confirm that '''novacomd''' is running on your computer
# Use a terminal (any mentioned in the step above will work) to run '''novaterm''' and access your phone.
<blockquote>
<pre><nowiki>
cd /
/usr/sbin/rootfs_open -t
cp -f /media/internal/palm-build-info-unmasqed /etc/palm-build-info
/sbin/reboot
</nowiki></pre></blockquote>
:5. Reboot

=== Using WebOS Quick Install ===
# Confirm that '''novacomd''' is running on your computer
# Make sure you have the latest version of [http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2850874 WebOS Quick Install].
# Select Tools->Send File from the menu, and enter the following values: 
<blockquote>'''File:''' (Select your palm-build-info-masq file) 
'''Destination:''' /etc/palm-build-info</blockquote>
:4. Click on '''Send to Destination'''
:5. Reboot after that succeeds.</blockquote>

== Step 6: Donate to WebOS Internals and purchase the Preware Homebrew Documentation app ==
If this worked for you, we would appreciate a donation at http://donate.webos-internals.org - and if you want to thank Rod Whitby personally for the many hours that he put into creating the Meta-Doctor and this upgrade procedure, you should purchase the [http://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=org.preware.docs Preware Homebrew Documentation] app from the official app catalog, and leave a nice 5 star review containing your message of thanks.

= Caveats =

== Available Software ==

=== App Catalog ===
* Apps that are marked as only compatible with webOS versions 2.x and above do not currently work with some of these doctored installations of webOS 2.1.0. On some of the devices/carriers, masquerading is used which leads to the Palm profile still reporting version 1.40.50.

==== Masquerading ====
* Palm's servers only accept certain device/OS combinations as valid. While some ROW Pre and Pre Plus devices running 2.1 are accepted (mainly O2 Germany devices), Pre and Pre Plus devices running on Sprint, Verizon and AT&T (and some ROW) have to masquerade as still running webOS 1.4.5. To achieve this, /etc/palm-build-info is replaced with the version from the 1.4.5 doctor to trick Palm's servers into believing it is a valid device/OS combination and allowing app catalog access. Once app catalog access is achieved, /etc/palm-build-info can be replaced with the 2.1 version which is found in meta-doctor/palm-build-info-unmasqed on the computer you built the doctor with.
* Note that if you ever need to log into your palm profile a subsequent time on your device (e.g. after a full erase), you will need to put back the webOS 1.4.5 palm-build-info file and reset your device before logging back into your profile. It may be easier simply to run the procedure on this page from the top again.

=== Carrier-Specific Applications ===
* Some Carrier Apps are not working in webOS 2.1. Apps that have been tested and are known to install cleanly and work will be added to the custom webOS Doctor for the appropriate device/carrier. 

:Known working Carrier Apps:
<blockquote>
==== Sprint ====
* Sprint Portal
* Sprint TV
* Sprint Football Live
* NASCAR

====Verizon Wireless ====
* ''All Verizon apps should be working at this time! However, '''no one has tested the VZW Navigator subscription''' to confirm that the service carries over to a Meta-Doctored phone. You could be the first!''

==== AT&T ====
* No testing or reports of AT&T Carrier Apps
</blockquote>

=== Patches ===
* Not all patches have been ported over yet. If you want to check for a certain patch, please see webOS Internals' [http://patches.webos-internals.org/?do=browse&webosver=2.1.0&category=all webOS-Patches Web Portal].

=== Flash ===
* Adobe Flash is not included in this webOS 2.1 doctor, but can be added with files from a VZW Pre2 2.01 doctor.

==== Adding Flash Support (Easy Method) ====
The easiest way to get flash on your webOS 2.1.0 legacy device is via creating a modular package and installing that, along with a patch to make the Adobe Flash preferences visible in the browser.

It sounds complex, but it much easier overall and a How-To has been detailed [http://tinyurl.com/flash-webos-2-1-0 here].

==== Adding Flash Support Manually ====
# Extract WebOS.tar from the Resources folder in the VZW doctor to a location on your hard drive 
# Copy the following files from the extracted WebOS.tar to their equivalent locations in your MetaDoctor (alternatively, you can copy them manually to a live device using Novaterm)
<blockquote>/etc/adobe/mms.cfg
 /etc/adobe/oem.cfg
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/libflashplayer.so
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/resource/plugin-icon-noplay.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/resource/plugin-icon-play-down.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/resource/plugin-icon-play.png

 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/FlashMiniAdapterData/plugin-icon-unknown.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/FlashMiniAdapterData/plugin-scrim.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/FlashMiniPlugin.so</blockquote>
:3. Open /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/app/controllers/preferences-assistant.js (either in your MetaDoctor or on your live device -if on a live device, remember to make a backup!)
: Find the following two lines (should be lines 46 & 47) and comment them out by adding // to the beginning of each line:
<blockquote>this.controller.get("flashPref").hide();
 this.controller.get("autoLoadPref").hide(); </blockquote>
:4. Reboot your Pre if the editing was done on a live device

Flash preferences should now be visible under browser preferences.

== Performance ==
* '''OVERCLOCKING IS NOW SUPPORTED'''. Palm has just released the source code for the kernel used in webOS 2.1.0. An experimental version of UberKernel has already appeared in the experimental feeds, but casual users should wait for a stable one.
* The Pre Plus has 512 MB of memory and thus runs 2.1 quite well, but this is not the case with the original Pre since it has only 256 MB. Luckily, Palm adopted webOS Internals's compcache technology that was ported to the custom kernels, and it comes active, but with only 10 MB. One potential way to enhance performance in original Pre devices is to make the compcache bigger.

=== Increase compcache size, Temporary Method ===
You can use the Govnah application to increase the size of the compcache. Disable compcache, change the size, and then reenable.

=== Increase compcache size, Permanent Method ===
You have to edit the file /etc/event.d/compcache and substitute the 10240 value for 32768, reboot your Pre and verify it's working by using Govnah.

For example, you could follow these steps:

#Make sure '''novacomd''' is running on your computer.
#Use a terminal (any mentioned in step 5 will work) to run '''novaterm''' and access your phone. Type in the following: <pre>vi /etc/event.d/compcache</pre>
#Go down to line 10 type i then delete 10240 and replace it with 32768, hit the escape key then type :wq
#Reboot your Pre and verify it's working by using Govnah.

== Palm Profile ==
* Some people have had problems signing in to existing Palm Profiles on 2.1 due to backup data. To make sure that you can sign in to your profile on 2.1, you should disable backups before doctoring to 2.1 and delete server side backups. Of course, this deletes most of the data in your Palm Profile (memos, tasks, calender entries, accounts, ...). Your apps will be restored on 2.1, but that is about it. Note that not all people have issues with backups. If you would rather not delete your Palm Profile data, you can try doctoring to 2.1 without turning backups off and see if restoring everything works. If it doesn't, you'll have to doctor back to 1.4.5 to turn off backups or use a new Palm Profile, though.

* You may get lucky if your Profile has information and you managed to pass the "Logging to Profile" screen but are stuck with a message stating that the phone cannot restore your data. If you have developer mode enabled, enter your Pre and overwrite the /etc/palm-build-info file with the palm-build-info-masq file the Doctor generated. Reboot your Pre and see if it manages to boot succesfully.

* If you get 9.9.9 in palm.com/palmprofile, then you can either doctor back to 1.4.5 for your carrier and log in, then delete backup info in backup app and then 2.1.0 metadoctor it, or you can restore the masqueraded /etc/palm-build-info for your device, erase your backup info in the backup app and use "Erase Apps and Data" from the reset option in the Device Info app.

* If you get the dr. skipped firstuse as a palm profile in the new accounts app in 2.1.0 and/or if the gesture application creates a blank screen, you have the false profile problem. You need to doctor back to 1.4.5 for your carrier and login in, then delete backup info in backup app and then 2.1.0 metadoctor it. To avoid this problem, redownload the metadoctor latest version and run the appropiate script with the --wifi-only switch.

* Alternative fix for above problem: If your profile works fine but the Impostah app and the Accounts app show your profile name as Dr. Skipped First Use although your phone ran the first use app after doctoring, make sure your /etc/palm-build-info is masquerading as 1.4.5 for your carrier, erase your backup data from the backup app by turning off backups and chose Erase Apps and Data from the reset options in the Device Info app.

* If you are unable to install the Palm SDK to use the novacom program to transfer files to your device, step 5 can alternatively be performed by putting the device in USB mode, transferring file to the main folder of the USB drive, ejecting the USB drive, and then use WebOSQI 3.x's linux commandline feature to perform the alternate commands in Step 5 (not the novacom ones).

==GPS==
* To enable GPS functionality it may be necessary to go to the "Location Services" application, make sure that "GPS", and "GPS Location Services" are enabled. Test the GPS using ##477# (##GPS#) from the phone application, and press the "Get Fix" button.
* If neither ##477# utility nor Google Maps is able to successfully fix your position, return to the "Location Services" application, open the ''Preferences'' menu, expand ''Locate Me Using...'' and ensure that both '''GPS''' and '''Google Services''' are selected. After selecting '''Google Services''', you will be prompted to accept the Terms of Service. Once both options are selected, test GPS functionality again. The ##477# utility may still fail the first several times, but should complete successfully after repeated attempts, and should continue to function normally thereafter.

==PRL==
* Sprint - After applying 2.1.0 to a Sprint device using this method, there is currently no known way to update the PRL. There are permissions issues, and the conventional "Update Profile" and "Update PRL" from the Phone options will no longer work. The provisioner service binary from the Sprint 1.4.5 doctor does not work on webOS 2.x, so a version of that service for 2.x is required for this to ever work.
* Verizon - In order to update your PRL, you will need to manually program your phone OTA by dialing '''*228''' from the dialer, and choose the "Program your phone" option.

WebOS 2 Upgrade

2011-03-01T03:19:10Z

Innocentbystander: /* Performance */

= Overview =
With the release of the webOS 2.1.0 doctor by HP for O2 and Vodafone Pre+ devices, there is now a legal way to get webOS 2.1 onto the legacy devices of carriers that are not onboard with the 2.x upgrade. Compatible devices include all Pre and Pre Plus devices. This is not compatible with Pixi devices.

= Disclaimer =
'''This is a process that uses official HP software in unofficial ways. You should always be prepared for the unlikely possibility that your device may be completely wiped and your Palm profile may be permanently destroyed. Do not proceed unless you have made appropriate backups and are OK with that. Working knowledge of MetaDoctor and Linux systems in general is needed.'''

If you feel the need to ask whether you should do this on your primary phone, then you should not, as that indicates that you have not yet taken the required precautions and backups in case something goes wrong.

= Other Tutorials =
'''Note that this wiki page is always the authoritative source of information about this process, so you should refer to this page first for any and all instructions. Here are some other pages which you may find useful in addition to this page. They do not replace the information on this page, which you should read from top to bottom first.''' 
''PreCentral'' forum user @malpha recorded a two-part video overview of the process as she followed this step-by-step. The videos can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJB8NJ72kZg here]. 
''PreCentral'' forum user @innocentbystander has written a start-to-finish guide to installing and building the Meta Doctor under Mac OS 10.6 for those with little or no experience with the command line. It can be found [http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2885787 here].

= Using MetaDoctor Scripts =

Note: Scripts currently exist for the following devices:
* Sprint Pre/FrankenPre+
* Verizon Pre+
* AT&T Pre+
* "WR" devices
* Telcel Pre
* Bell Mobility Pre
* O2 German Pre (or similar)
* O2 German Pre+ (or similar)

== Step 0: Backup your device ==
Make sure you have copies of all the data that you want to preserve from your palm profile. There is a possibility that you will need to clear your palm profile to be successful in this upgrade, so you should act as if that is going to happen from the start.

Also, make sure you run the Save/Restore application from Preware to back up your application data - you don't want to lose your Angry Birds progress, do you?

Then copy all the files from the USB drive onto your PC to keep them safe, including music, downloads, and pictures. The webOS Doctor has been known to wipe your USB drive without warning, so you should act as if that is going to happen from the start.

If your phone is set to use the Palm Profile as the default location for contacts you may want to manually export these. To check how many palm profile contacts you have: Contacts App -> Preferences & Accounts -> tap "Palm Profile" under the "accounts" subsection.
To manually export contacts see this post: [http://forums.precentral.net/webos-synergy-synchronization/215705-howto-transfer-contacts-palm-profile-gmail-yahoo-mail-easier-way-2.html#post2886607 PreCentral Forums - How To Transfer contacts]

A guide for backing up using Save/Restore can be found [http://www.precentral.net/backing-your-application-data-settings-save-restore-homebrew here].

== Step 1: Install Prerequisites ==
* '''MetaDoctor''' - see [[Application:MetaDoctor]] for information on how to install MetaDoctor
* '''Palm SDK ''' - see [http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=page&id=1661 Palm Developer Website]

== Step 2: Prepare your Palm Profile ==
With unsupported carrier/device/OS combinations, it may be necessary to clear some Palm Profile data to allow you to sign in on webOS 2.x devices. The process is as follows:
'''Warning: this will delete data from your Palm Profile, including but not limited to: calendars, contacts, account information, email signatures, bookmarks, memos, tasks, SSM/MMS messages, and icon/launcher arrangement.'''
# Open the Backup app.
# Turn off backups, confirming that you wish to erase your palm profile information.

== Step 3: Run device-specific MetaDoctor script ==
The MetaDoctor scripts will automatically download the latest necessary webOS doctors, extract and replace CDMA radio firmware as necessary, and will build and launch the modified webOS Doctor.

'''From the meta-doctor directory''', run the meta-script that corresponds to your advice. For example, a Sprint user would run:
<pre><nowiki>
./scripts/meta-sprint-pre-2.1.0
</nowiki></pre>

A list of all the scripts can be found by typing
<pre><nowiki>
ls ./scripts/
</nowiki></pre>

For those who for what ever reason can't activate their phones and need to skip first use and get wifi started to sign into their profiles, just add "--wifi-only" as an extra argument to the meta-script:

For example, a user with a Sprint device who was never going to connect to the Sprint cellular network would run:
<pre><nowiki>
./scripts/meta-sprint-pre-2.1.0 --wifi-only
</nowiki></pre>

Then, when your device boots after step 4, all you need to do is configure and start wifi and then run the Gesture Tutorial and you should be good to go. Note that in this case the end of the palm profile login procedure will appear to cycle forever, so just manually reboot the device using Opt-Sym-R when that happens.

== Step 4: Run the modified webOS Doctor ==
The meta-script will automatically launch the modified webOS Doctor for you. However, if you need to move it to a different location and run it manually, the modified doctor will be a '''.jar''' file located in the build output directory:
<pre><nowiki>meta-doctor/build/preplus-p101ueude-wr-2.1.0/webosdoctorp101ueude-wr-2.1.0.jar</nowiki></pre>

(note for the latest alpha testing scripts, the location has changed to:
<pre><nowiki>meta-doctor/build/meta-sprint-pre-2.1.0/webosdoctorp101ueude-wr-2.1.0.jar</nowiki></pre>
)

== Step 5: Restore /etc/palm-build-info ==
If the meta-script left a palm-build-info-unmasqed file in your working directory, then after you log into your profile you need to copy this file back onto your device. There are several ways to accomplish this task.

=== Via a Terminal, with Novacom ===
Open up a terminal (Linux, OS X, Cygwin) on your host computer (not your phone) and change back to the meta-doctor directory. then type in the following:

<pre><nowiki>
novacom run file://usr/sbin/rootfs_open -t
novacom put file://etc/palm-build-info < palm-build-info-unmasqed
novacom run file://sbin/reboot
</nowiki></pre>

=== Copy the File to the USB Partition ===
First copy the ./meta-doctor/palm-build-info-unmasqed file over to your Phone's USB Drive.

Next, use a terminal (any mentioned in the step above, PuTTy or something similar on Windows) to run '''novacom''' and access your phone.

<pre><nowiki>
cd /
/usr/sbin/rootfs_open -t
cp -f /media/internal/palm-build-info-unmasqed /etc/palm-build-info
/sbin/reboot
</nowiki></pre>

=== Using WebOS Quick Install ===
Make sure you have the latest version of [http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2850874 WebOS Quick Install].

Select Tools->Send File from the menu, and enter the following values: 
<blockquote>'''File:''' (Select your palm-build-info-masq file) 
'''Destination:''' /etc/palm-build-info</blockquote>

Then click on '''Send to Destination''' and reboot after that succeeds.

== Step 6: Donate to WebOS Internals and purchase the Preware Homebrew Documentation app ==
If this worked for you, we would appreciate a donation at http://donate.webos-internals.org - and if you want to thank Rod Whitby personally for the many hours that he put into creating the Meta-Doctor and this upgrade procedure, you should purchase the [http://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=org.preware.docs Preware Homebrew Documentation] app from the official app catalog, and leave a nice 5 star review containing your message of thanks.

= Caveats =

== Available Software ==

=== App Catalog ===
* Apps that are marked as only compatible with webOS versions 2.x and above do not currently work with some of these doctored installations of webOS 2.1.0. On some of the devices/carriers, masquerading is used which leads to the Palm profile still reporting version 1.40.50.

==== Masquerading ====
* Palm's servers only accept certain device/OS combinations as valid. While ROW Pre and Pre Plus devices running 2.1 are accepted, Pre and Pre Plus devices running on Sprint, Verizon and AT&T have to masquerade as still running webOS 1.4.5. To achieve this, /etc/palm-build-info is replaced with the version from the 1.4.5 doctor to trick Palm's servers into believing it is a valid device/OS combination and allowing app catalog access. Once app catalog access is achieved, /etc/palm-build-info can be replaced with the 2.1 version which is found in meta-doctor/palm-build-info-unmasqed on the computer you built the doctor with.
* Note that if you ever need to log into your palm profile a subsequent time on your device (e.g. after a full erase), you will need to put back the webOS 1.4.5 palm-build-info file and reset your device before logging back into your profile. It may be easier simply to run the procedure on this page from the top again.

=== Carrier-Specific Applications ===
* Carrier specific apps such as Sprint Navigation and the Verizon hotspot app are not included at this time. Apps that have been tested and are known to install cleanly and work will be added to the custom webOS Doctor for the appropriate device/carrier.

=== Patches ===
* Not all patches have been ported over yet. If you want to check for a certain patch, please see webOS Internals' [http://patches.webos-internals.org/?do=browse&webosver=2.1.0&category=all webOS-Patches page].

=== Flash ===
* Adobe Flash is not included in this webOS 2.1 doctor, but can be added with files from a VZW Pre2 2.01 doctor.

==== Adding Flash Support (Easy Method) ====
The easiest way to get flash on your webOS 2.1.0 legacy device is via creating a modular package and installing that, along with a patch to make the Adobe Flash preferences visible in the browser.

It sounds complex, but it much easier overall and a How-To has been detailed [http://tinyurl.com/flash-webos-2-1-0 here].

==== Adding Flash Support Manually ====
1. Extract WebOS.tar from the Resources folder in the VZW doctor to a location on your hard drive 
2. Copy the following files from the extracted WebOS.tar to their equivalent locations in your MetaDoctor (alternatively, you can copy them manually to a live device using Novaterm)
<blockquote>/etc/adobe/mms.cfg
 /etc/adobe/oem.cfg
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/libflashplayer.so
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/resource/plugin-icon-noplay.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/resource/plugin-icon-play-down.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/resource/plugin-icon-play.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/resource/plugin-icon-unknown.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/resource/plugin-scrim.png
 /usr/lib/libFlashGraphics.so
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/FlashMiniAdapterData/plugin-icon-noplay.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/FlashMiniAdapterData/plugin-icon-play.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/FlashMiniAdapterData/plugin-icon-unknown.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/FlashMiniAdapterData/plugin-scrim.png
 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/FlashMiniPlugin.so</blockquote>
3. Open /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/app/controllers/preferences-assistant.js (either in your MetaDoctor or on your live device -if on a live device, remember to make a backup!)
 Find the following two lines (should be lines 46 & 47) and comment them out by adding // to the beginning of each line:
<blockquote>this.controller.get("flashPref").hide();
 this.controller.get("autoLoadPref").hide(); </blockquote>
4. Reboot your Pre if the editing was done on a live device

Flash preferences should now be visible under browser preferences.

== Performance ==
* '''OVERCLOCKING IS NOW SUPPORTED'''. Palm has just released the source code for the kernel used in webOS 2.1.0. Custom kernels have already appeared in the experimental feeds, but casual users should wait for a stable version of UberKernel.
* The Pre Plus has 512 MB of memory and thus runs 2.1 quite well, but this is not the case with the original Pre since it has only 256 MB. Luckily, Palm adopted webOS Internals's compcache technology that was ported to the custom kernels, and it comes active, but with only 10 MB. One potential way to enhance performance in original Pre devices is to make the compcache bigger.

=== Increase compcache size, Temporary Method ===
You can use the Govnah application to increase the size of the compcache. Disable compcache, change the size, and then reenable.

=== Increase compcache size, Permanent Method ===
You have to edit the file /etc/event.d/compcache and substitute the 10240 value for 32768, reboot your Pre and verify it's working by using Govnah.

== Palm Profile ==
* Some people have had problems signing in to existing Palm Profiles on 2.1 due to backup data. To make sure that you can sign in to your profile on 2.1, you should disable backups before doctoring to 2.1 and delete server side backups. Of course, this deletes most of the data in your Palm Profile (memos, tasks, calender entries, accounts, ...). Your apps will be restored on 2.1, but that is about it. Note that not all people have issues with backups. If you would rather not delete your Palm Profile data, you can try doctoring to 2.1 without turning backups off and see if restoring everything works. If it doesn't, you'll have to doctor back to 1.4.5 to turn off backups or use a new Palm Profile, though.

* You may get lucky if your Profile has information and you managed to pass the "Logging to Profile" screen but are stuck with a message stating that the phone cannot restore your data. If you have developer mode enabled, enter your Pre and overwrite the /etc/palm-build-info file with the palm-build-info-masq file the Doctor generated. Reboot your Pre and see if it manages to boot succesfully.

* If you get 9.9.9 in palm.com/palmprofile, then you need to doctor back to 1.4.5 for your carrier and log in, then delete backup info in backup app and then 2.1.0 metadoctor it.

* If you get the dr. skipped firstuse as a palm profile in the new accounts app in 2.1.0 and/or if the gesture application creates a blank screen, you have the false profile problem. You need to doctor back to 1.4.5 for your carrier and login in, then delete backup info in backup app and then 2.1.0 metadoctor it. To avoid this problem, redownload the metadoctor latest version and run the appropiate script with the --wifi-only switch

* If you are unable to install the Palm SDK to use the novacom program to transfer files to your device, step 5 can alternatively be performed by putting the device in USB mode, transferring file to the main folder of the USB drive, ejecting the USB drive, and then use WebOSQI 3.x's linux commandline feature to perform the alternate commands in Step 5 (not the novacom ones).

==GPS==
* To enable GPS functionality it may be necessary to go to the "Location Services" application, make sure that "GPS", and "GPS Location Services" are enabled. Test the GPS using ##477# (##GPS#) from the phone application, and press the "Get Fix" button.
* If neither ##477# utility nor Google Maps is able to successfully fix your position, return to the "Location Services" application, open the ''Preferences'' menu, expand ''Locate Me Using...'' and ensure that both '''GPS''' and '''Google Services''' are selected. After selecting '''Google Services''', you will be prompted to accept the Terms of Service. Once both options are selected, test GPS functionality again. The ##477# utility may still fail the first several times, but should complete successfully after repeated attempts, and should continue to function normally thereafter.

==PRL==
* Sprint - After applying 2.1.0 to a Sprint device using this method, there is currently no known way to update the PRL. There are permissions issues, and the conventional "Update Profile" and "Update PRL" from the Phone options will no longer work.
* Verizon - In order to update your PRL, you will need to manually program your phone OTA by dialing '''*228''' from the dialer, and choose the "Program your phone" option.

= What is the Meta Doctor? =

The Webos Internals Meta Doctor is a Makefile which can modify a copy of the Palm webOS Doctor to bypass the "First Use" application and allow the phone to run without having been activated on a cell network. It accomplishes this by reaching into Palm's distributed Doctor JAR file and making changes to it. It can prevent the first use app from running, as well as applying other tweaks to the OS.

'''Documentation for the features that the MetaDoctor offers is at the top of the Makefile (you find out where that is later).'''

= Step 1: Setting up Meta-Doctor=

== Linux ==

=== Installing required software ===

# Open terminal from the ( Applications > Accessories ) menu. (If using Cygwin Method: Go to Start>Programs>Cygwin>Cygwin Bash Shell and skip to Number 3)
# If you have git installed, skip this step. If you do not have git installed, type: <pre>sudo apt-get install git-core</pre> and follow the directions to install git.
# Now type: <pre>git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/tools/meta-doctor.git</pre>
# If you do not have patch installed, you will need to install patch. (If using Cygwin method: Skip this step and jump to number 7) On an Ubuntu system type: <pre>sudo apt-get install patch</pre>
# If you do not have java installed, do so. To install java, choose ( Applications > Ubuntu Software Center ) and type '''java 6 runtime''' in search - it is easiest to search for java to find it - then follow the on screen instructions. It should be pretty simple.
# Download and install the Palm Novacom software from http://developer.palm.com. Download the version for Ubuntu [https://cdn.downloads.palm.com/sdkdownloads/1.3.1.314/sdkBinaries/palm-novacom_1.0.46_i386.deb here] and install it. (If you choose to install the full SDK instead, and are running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 9.x you will have difficulty installing the SDK and the instructions on the download site are wrong. Read [https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2308 this thread] and [http://forums.precentral.net/showpost.php?p=2021966&postcount=108 this post] for help.)
# Open a terminal and navigate to the meta-doctor directory where the meta-doctor was copied to in step 3 above. (If using Cygwin method: You should already be in a terminal and just do the cd command) For example: <pre>cd meta-doctor</pre>
# Ensure that there is a downloads directory. If there is not one, create one using <pre>mkdir downloads</pre>
# Download the latest webosdoctor file using the download paths found at [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions Webos Doctor Versions] .The wr version is the French,German,Irish,Spanish and UK GSM version. An example download command would be: <pre>cd downloads</pre><pre>wget http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/pre/p1351r0d01082010/sr1ntp1351rod/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar</pre>
# Rename the file that you download to include the version number for future reference (examples: webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.3.5.1.jar, webosdoctorp100eww-wr-1.1.3.jar, or webosdoctorp100ewwbellmo-1.2.1.jar). An example command to do that would be:<pre>mv webosdoctorp100ewwbellmo.jar webosdoctorp100ewwbellmo-1.3.5.1.jar</pre>

=== Running Meta-Doctor ===

# Navigate to the meta-doctor directory in the terminal
# If you would like Meta-Doctor to apply patches to webOS in order to add or change functionality from the factory install, open the Makefile with your favorite text editor and uncomment (remove the leading # characters from) the options you would like to use.
# Type one of the following:
#: <pre>make DEVICE=pre all-wr</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=preplus all-wr</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=pixiplus all-wr</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=pre all-sprint</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=pixi all-sprint</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=pre all-bellmo</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=pre all-telcel</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=preplus all-verizonwireless</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=pixiplus all-verizonwireless</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=preplus all-att</pre>
#: <pre>make DEVICE=pixiplus all-att</pre>
#: depending on the carrier in question.
'''Note ''': use make DEVICE=palm_smartphone_type all-wr for O2 Germany, UK and Ireland / Movistar Spain / SFR France

This should begin a process within the terminal that should take 10 minutes max.

=== Error conditions ===

If an error message appears with unknown in a file name, check the file rename in step 8 above.

=== If the build fails ===

If the make command fails, you can use <pre>make clobber</pre> to clean up the build directory. After this you can re-run the command.

== Mac OS X 10.6 ==

#Install MacPorts first, which will allow us to easily install the necessary packages for MetaDoctor. [http://www.macports.org/install.php].

An example command to do that would be:<pre>mv webosdoctorp100ewwbellmo.jar webosdoctorp100ewwbellmo-1.3.5.1.jar</pre>
#See "Running MetaDoctor" above.

==Using a Virtual Machine==

If you do not have a Linux system, you will need to run the meta-doctor in a virtual machine. For windows users there are two options. For Mac users, follow option 1.

===Running in VMware or VirtualBox===

# Download [http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Ubuntu 9.10].
# Download a virtual machine program, either vmware or virtualbox. A virtual machine is simply a program that allows you to piggyback a second operating system on top of your native OS without dual booting or actually having a Linux machine.
#: I ended up using VirtualBox instead, because I found the VMware to be very confusing on what to actually download. The Virtual box website is very simple and straight forward. Here is a link for the virtualbox download for Windows: [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.10/VirtualBox-3.0.10-54097-Win.exe VirtualBox-3.0.10-54097-Win]
# Now install virtualbox just like you would install any other application, nothing fancy here.
# Start up virtualbox and follow either of these instructions to install Ubuntu
## http://www.helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/how-to-install-ubuntu-in-virtualbox/
## http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox

===Using WUBI===

Windows users have another option to avoid using a virtual machine. They can use the meta doctor without harming your current installation of windows using simple Ubuntu installer called WUBI. Also no need for moding any partitions or installing any boot loaders. It will just appear as program in your installed software list and when you do not want it anymore simply uninstall it while in windows through Control Panel. It is easy and there is no virtual machine headaches of trying to configure USB, Network and File sharing with host computer... To access it you just reboot and choose Ubuntu from dual boot screen.

# download [http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Ubuntu 9.10]
# burn that file to a cd or mount to virtual drive
# Run cd in windows (the wubi.exe file inside the disk, it also comes up in auto run)
# Click on '''Install Inside windows'''.
#: This will install Ubuntu while running Windows without the need of making a partition I would recomand making the install image the full recommended 30 gigs if you have the hard drive space and think you are interested in actually using the Ubuntu OS, otherwise the minimum recommended by Wubi should be just fine.
# Restart your computer and you can dual boot to Windows or Ubuntu

The nice thing about this is that it will allow you to uninstall Ubuntu right from Windows as if it was never there and remove the dual boot, not to mention the fact you do not need to partition your drive.

If you are still wondering what Wubi is the fallowing link should explain it to you better.

this will only work with the cd image found at the Ubuntu Download link. The dvd image of 9.04/9.10 is a live cd/installer and does not have the option to install inside windows using Wubi

==Using Cygwin==

Windows users can alternatively use [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin] to run Meta-Doctor. This can often be simpler and faster than installing a full-blown Virtual Machine.

Simply install Cygwin, and include the following additional packages:

# Python
# Make
# Patch
# Git
# Zip
# Unzip
# wget

(use View "Full" to find these specific packages more easily)

After you have installed these packages, you can follow the [[Application:MetaDoctor:#Linux | Linux instructions]]

I used a WinXP box with cygwin and everything worked fine, except I had to add the switch --no-same-owner in line 802 of the Makefile. That's because I'm as root in cygwin and without this switch the tar-command failed.

Code:
mkdir -p build/${PATIENT}/webOS
${TAR} --no-same-owner -C build/${PATIENT}/webOS \
-f build/${PATIENT}/resources/webOS.tar \
-x ./${CUSTIMAGEOLD}.rootfs.tar.gz ./${INSTIMAGEOLD}.uImage ./${BOOTLOADEROLD}.bin ./${CODENAMEOLD}.xml ./installer.xml

''

NB: You can find the Makefile to edit in <cygwin install folder>\home\<username>\meta-doctor

For example <pre>C:\cygwin\home\johndoe\meta-doctor</pre>

= Step 2: Running the patched webOS Doctor
The updated doctor version has the same name as the original, but is in a new folder: ''meta-doctor/build/pre-p100eww-sprint-1.3.5.1/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.3.5.1.jar''.

If you are running in Ubuntu or Cygwin, you can just run the new jar file now.

If you are running Ubuntu using VM, you will need to copy the new jar out of the VM into your live desktop to run the jar in your native OS.

CD to the folder where your new jar file is, and type something like:

java -jar webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.3.5.1.jar

If you were using a VM or some other virtual method, you will need to copy the jar file out to your main operating system before running it.

: ''NOTE: this only applies to WUBI Users''
You should be able to run the JAR as if you had Linux installed natively because in a sense you do (as long as Java is installed and you run the Jar using Java) but if you rather run it in windows

Using terminal the following command in a Wubi installation of Ubuntu will copy the JAR file to the host Windows OS :<pre>cp /meta-doctor/build/pre-p100eww-sprint-1.2.1/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.2.1.jar /host/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.2.1.jar</pre>
This will place the Jar either in your Windows C:\ drive or whatever drive you installed Wubi to.

== Once the Doctor is running ==

# Select your language
# Accept the license agreement
# Connect your Pre to your PC via USB and select "Next" when it becomes available

After completion the device will reboot and present you with the activation set-up.

If your PC does not recognize your Pre and you cannot go past step 3 above, try the following steps:

# With the USB cable connected, completely power off the Pre (hold down the power button until the option to power off appears)
# Hold down the Up button on the volume rocker
# While holding the Up button, power on the Pre
# "Next" should now be enabled - proceed with the recovery
{{tux|Tux_with_Pre.png|float:right;}}
The above steps will put the Pre into bootloader recovery mode and should allow the PC to recognize your device and proceed with the restore. In this mode the screen will display a giant USB logo instead of the usual Palm startup logo.

When the process finishes, the Pre will reboot and your new modified image will have been installed.

----

After the doctor completes, you will need to run the "First Run" application. To do this, you will need an active internet connection. Either WiFi or Cellular. If you do not have WiFi and cannot connect to the Palm Profile servers, you might have a problem with your programming. This Meta Doctor (or webOS Doctor in general) could possibly erase the modem's programming. To resolve you will need to perform the following steps:

'''Note:''' This has only been confirmed to resolve Sprint CDMA issues, YMMV.

'''Note 2:''' You should try to update your profile first. Open the phone app, open the App Menu and select ''Preferences'' then select ''Update Network Settings''. If you get an error, then procede with these instructions.
*'''1.''' Open the Phone App.
*'''2.''' Enter ''##MSL#'' (MSL= 6 digit lock code. Get this from Sprint.)
*'''3.''' Verify your MDN and MSID are incorrect. If they are incorrect, continue. If they are correct, this is not your problem and you should not continue.
*'''4.''' Select ''Edit''.
*'''5.''' Select the first box (MDN) and enter your 10-digit cellular number.
*'''6.''' Select the second box (MSID) and enter your 10-digit MSID (Get this from Sprint).
*'''7.''' Select ''Save''.
*'''8.''' Backswipe out of the the view.
*'''9.''' You should now be able to open complete '''Note 2''' above without any errors.

You should now be able to run the ''First Use'' application without any problems.

=If the Doctor will not run=
Go [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/How_To_Recover here] if you have further problems connecting your Pre to the running Meta'ed Doctor.

==How to change a provider's DB-entry so 3G data can be used on the Pre==

[http://forums.precentral.net/gsm-pre/211728-modifying-webos-carrier-network-settings.html#post2002079 This post] and [http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre/209222-few-questions-about-german-palm-pre-6.html this thread] describe various ways to adjust the provider's data base in the Pre, so the 3G datacom works on non-supported networks. webOS 1.3.1 allows setting of the providers data directly from the activation screen for providers that are present in the DB. Some report that they are not able to do that and that they cannot get 3G datacom working on 1.3.1

== Problems with Novacom ==
If you are Running a new Distro, like Archlinux, you could run into problem with novacom while trying to connect your pre. Running novacomd on the command line could provide further information. This may be a problem with libusb. Get a older version like described in [http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4233&start=0 this thread].

== How to Install webOS 2.x on "unoffical" Devices==
With the release of the O2-DE webOS Doctor, efforts have been made to apply the techniques of MetaDoctor and create a custom doctor to apply 2.1.0 to devices that it was not been officially released for. For those not faint of heart, a step-by-step can be found at the following: [[WebOS 2 Upgrade]]
