If you are not on a mac, follow the instructions [http://predev.wikidot.com/using-novaproxy here] instead.

# Download the [http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/pre_p100eww/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar webOS image].
# Rename this file to .zip, and extract it.
# Untar resources/NovacomInstaller.pkg.tar.gz (tar -xzvf).
# Run NovacomInstaller.pkg.
# Click through the installer.
# From the Pre desktop, with no applicatons open on the Pre, type in the Konami code on your Pre's keyboard. (**upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart**) to access the developer mode application. You do not need to press enter. When you press the "t" of start, the developer app will become visible.
# Open the DeveloperMode application on your Pre and enable the developer mode switch, resetting the device when prompted.
# Connect to your Mac via USB cable. There is no need to answer the question on your Pre regarding mounting the drive or just charging. **Don't select anything** (or select "Just Charge" if not selecting anything really bothers you). **Warning: Selecting a USB mode will turn off the Pre's WiFi & Cellular connections and mess up later steps by giving you a "wget: bad address" error when you try and install additional packages.**
# cd /opt/nova/bin
# ./novaterm
# At this point you should have root.
# Login with username **root** and a blank password. (Note that you can only use root and a blank password while dev mode is on - rebooting turns this insecure access off again)

* This is what you should see

<pre><nowiki>
root@castle:/#
</nowiki></pre>

* Assuming that worked, you are in as root. You can prove this by typing **ls -all** and hitting enter. You should get a directory listing.

Congrats, you are now in as root. Tread lightly.

== Next Steps: ==

Your rooted pre is in a very sensitive and unusual state. There are several steps you should take immidiately:

* Create a new username and password so that you don't connect as root
* Open up ports in the pre so that you can connect to it.
* Create a secure connection so that your pre is not open to everyone in the universe. **If you do not secure the network, your device will be accessible by anyone on the internet until it is rebooted.**
* Install the Optware package manager so that you can install software onto the Pre.

All this picks up in [[Next_steps | Next steps after rooting ]].

== What You Should See: ==

<pre><nowiki>
root@castle:/# ls
bin dev etc lib md5sums mnt sbin tmp var
boot dspbridge home lost+found media proc sys usr
root@castle:/# uname -a
Linux castle 2.6.24-palm-joplin-3430 #1 175.1.15 armv7l unknown
root@castle:/# whoami
root
</nowiki></pre>

== Enabling Developer Mode As A Button ==

Having to type the Konami code every time is tedious so you can make the developer mode button visible by doing the following:

<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.devmodeswitcher/appinfo.json
</nowiki></pre>

* Line 8. Change visible to true.
