20:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC): The Verizon Mobile HotSpot and VZ Nav work fine for me, so they should be included. skype.. provides mixed results so I don't know what to say about that atm. (I have gotten both texts and calls to work, both ways, but.. the service usually crashes at some point. right now it's unusable actually.. i almost feel like it worked better with old firmware) directions: I did a manual install of all these packages by mounting / rw, ipkg install <pkgname>.ipk. (sorry i used the wrong date markup, i can't find the right one!) --[[User:Ajay|Ajay]]

2011.03.07 - 14:13 CST (UTC -0700): I think one section that the wiki is missing is what you are guaranteed to lose with the upgrade. For example, I'm not sure but I think 1) all text message history 2) popular patches like 4x4 icons, 3) browser book marks? 4) memos (if you have to delete your profile - these can be backed up by emailing them one at-a-time) 5) carriers specific apps like Sprint Nav (I see this in the doc already, but would be nice to have all downside consequences in one place), Sprint Tv, etc, 6) idk what else. I've never even doctor'd my phone (or meta doctored, etc) so I don't have a hunch what kind of thing is likely to be lost, and I'm not sure where to start looking for the information either...  -notcalvin

2011.02.23 - 11:39MST (UTC -0700): suburban_war here (go by the same on precentral/twitter). I just made this page, so please if you see this, look it over and correct any errors I might have made, and add any additional information you think would help make this process easier for users. Thanks!

2011.02.24 - 12:07CST: I am mostly clueless about this, but one thing I thought was missing was the appropriate script to use for a 'plussed' Pre. For example, if someone has a Pre Plus running on Sprint, courtesy of WebOSWorld, should they proceed as if they have a Sprint Pre? I think so, just not sure... (I post as notcalvin on precentral) (Also, FANTASTIC wiki page, thank you very much, you have clearly spent a lot of time on this page alone, not to mention getting 2.x working on legacy hardware...)

2011.02.24 - 23:33PST (UTC -0800): Just change the CUSTOM_MODEL_LIST to read the same model of the Pre Plus, so your device tokens match up. Like so: CUSTOM_MODEL_LIST=P101EWW
