Revision as of 01:38, 23 October 2009

Ok, I have no Linux experience whatsoever, so this should be a good "Meta Doctor For Dummies" Wiki.

Ill use confusedvorlon's initial Step-by-Step and add/edit the entries with more detail. Im stuck at step one right now, waiting for a new iso download so Ill finish editing this tomorrow.


Getting Ready


1) Download Ubuntu 8.04 . Then download a virtual machine either vmware or virtualbox.

-- 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 the link for the virtualbox download:

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.8/VirtualBox-3.0.8-53140-Win.exe

Now install virtualbox just like you would install any other windows application, nothing fancy here.

Next start up virtualbox and follow either of these instructions to install Ubuntu

2) at the terminal , type git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/tools/meta-doctor.git (if necessary, follow the instructions to install git)

3) make sure you have patch. Type patch at the command line, and if necessary follow instructions to download it

4) install java (applications/add remove/show: all available applications/java 6 runtime)

5) install the palm sdk (actually you only need the novacmd part). Instructions at developer.palm.com

6) download the rom jar to the /meta-doctor/downloads folder rename download to webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.2.0.jar check you have the right one using this page http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/...octor_Versions


Doing it


5) navigate to the meta-doctor directory in the terminal and type make CARRIER=sprint unpack patch pack

6) updated version will be in the build/pre... folder

7) make sure palm is connected to your virtual machine (check the VMWare menu)

8) run it with java -jar webosdoctor...
