Hi guys! Here is the complete tutorial about upgrading to 2.1.0 with flash enabled.(only for palm pre- and pre+).Sorry pixies! WEBOS 2.1.0 : There are three methods to install webos 2.1.0.The harder way and the easier way. 1.The harder way: Using cygwin and metadoctoring.Follow these steps. 2.The hard way: Using the simplified tutorial i posted here. 3.The easier way: USING A BYPASS ROM ! I believe this is the first 2.1.0 rom on internet!(If not,please correct me).Ofcourse many have updated to 2.1.0,but i dont know why none have made it to the w w w I made a Webos 2.1.0 bypass rom (i made it for my verizon pre+). Its working perfectly for verizon palm pres! (I request users to try it on sprint or AT&T devices and give feedback about it.I believe this would work on all devices) ****downoad it here! NOTE: Before you start to doctor, Dont forget to TURN OFF BACK UP and erase the backup in the backup app of palm pre.***ITS A MUST before you proceed to use this rom**** If this rom doesn't work for you,dont worry,its easy to create your own rom for your device using the first two methods. Enabling FLASH: After you are done upgrading to 2.1.0,its time to get flash. Here is the original tutorial. click here and scroll down to the flash tutorial part. And here is my simplified tutorial: THIS WORKS WITH ALL PREs IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR CARRIER. Prerequisites: You must have updated your pre to webos 2.1.0. STEPS: 1)Download both the Flash IPK file and patch file from here. 2)Extract both the files. 3)Copy the Flash IPK folder to your palm pre.(Copy to anywhere you remember) 4)Open Preware and go to INSTALL PACKAGE and browse to that Flash IPK File you copied earlier to your phone and install it.After it installs,do a LUNA RESTART.(Dont use quick install,its giving errors) 5)Then again in preware,install the PATCH file.Then Luna restart. 7)Now,test it.Open the browser on the pre and try going to palm.com which is listed in the bookmarks.You'll see the flash video about pre3,veer.Click on it and i will start streaming the video. Thats all folks! Flash Troubleshooting After adding Flash support, you may find that visiting any page with the browser will never completely load, and then automatically refresh in a loop. Solutions: 1)Disabling and the enabling Flash content in the browser preferences will fix this issue. 2)or Just uninstall the IPK file via preware.do a luna restart and reinstall it and do a luna restart again.This will mostly fix the reload issue. And WELCOME TO 2.1.0! Here are some screenshots of 2.1.0.

Hi, I just updated my palm pre plus to 2.1.0 and its awsome.(ofcourse i might be judging it too quickly,but its 12 hrs since i've playing with it). Follow the tutorial mentioned in post #10 in this topic. Changes i noticed: 1)the phone is faster. 2)the battery drain is less than when i was on 1.4.5.(This is what i was expecting). 3)slight changes in the app launcher and card view. 4)The best of all..GPS WORKS perfectly.(with out any patch) 5)Added VPN feature. Still have to find out if there are any errors. At first,i landed in the popular error.." Dr.skipped first use".So,I'd to revert to 1.4.5 and activate the phone and then meta doctor it again to 2.1.0. And finally i've 2.1.0.

Yes..it works on pixi too...and can be installed with webos QI..

It may work..but not sure..give it a try...it won't take more than 20 min.. Dont forget to update us about ur phone's status..

Hi, i got a palm pre plus.when i got it first,i used a hcc card to activate it on reliance.The phone got activated.But later fter few hours i got the same message.."to resume services...".After enquiry i found that it was a problem on reliance cc side. everything was alright on the device. So i took a newnumber by using a 220/- gsk and dialed *228 and entered the 9 digit code in that gsk.My phone got activated instantly.

@ Congrats! and welcome to 2.1.0 ! and about watching cricket live... You can watch it on www.crictime.com or www.cricvid.com. bith of them got multiple servers...

Its just going through the normal process..let it finish..wait till then.

For some reason the file that got downloaded was "webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.4.5" The file name does not suggest that is webos2.1.. Or is it supposed to be that way only? and.. with respect to loading the rom http://www.rimweb.in...ing-on-windows/ is that a good guide to follow? Have you erased your backup and turned off your palm profile before starting this process? About the method,its almost the same method of meta-doctoring,but with automated steps.It worked for me an many others. The final custom rom will be like 'webosdoctorp101ueude-wr-2.1.0'. It will be in the directory Local Disk C<cygwin<home<user(ur pc name)<meta-doctor/build/meta-sprint-pre-2.1.0/webosdoctorp101ueude-wr-2.1.0.jar It actually downloads 2.1.0 official pre2 rom and 1.4.5 official rom and merges them to a custom rom with activation bypassed.So if you saw 1.4.5 in cygwin ignore that and continue. But if the final output in the above mentioned directory i 1.4.5,better restart the process by going to official webos internals page. A NOTE ON "RE-DOCTORING": If this is not your first time through this process, you should do a "git pull" and a "make clobber" to ensure you have the latest scripts and a pristine build folder. From the command line (In Cygwin), type "cd meta-doctor" without the quotes and press enter. Then type "git pull" without the quotes and press enter. Then type "make clobber" without the quotes and press enter. Voila! You now have the latest scripts and a clean folder to build your doctor in.

What backup app are you using? I use Save/restore app which is available in preware

Yes..most probably you won't need any programming...

both GSM and CDMA pre's can be updated to 2.1.0. Also 1x is working on 2.1.0 with the same settings.Nothing to modify!

Hi! Here are the simplified steps to install webos 2.1.0 on your pre. Note: The techniques mentioned here were developed by WebOS Internals, and the scripts are an additional level of automation upon an already significantly automated procedure developed by WebOS Internals. Courtesy of ASASEABAN . Before you start this process,Please do read the tutorial on webosinternals about upgrading to 2.1.0.Its better if you know what you are doing exactly. PREREQUISITES: 1)You must have backed up your device completely. 2)You must have Palm SDK Installed on your PC.(Just for the NOVACOM).If you don't have it,just follow the instructions over here..Its simple,but it takes some time to download. 3)DO NOT connect your phone to your PC, until the webos doctor asks to do so. STEPS: Step 0 : Open the Backup app in pre,Turn 'off' Back up in your palm pre and erase the back up.Also,make sure that you have the Developer mode ENABLED.(on your phone keyboard,type webos20090606 => Developer Mode Enabler => ON) Step 1: Install Cygwin.(Step by Step Instructions with screenshots to install cygwin are provided in the pdf file attached) Step 2: Download your carrier specific zip file (attached to this post). For example, If you are using a Sprint Pre, download semi-auto-sprint-2.1.0.zip Step 3: Unzip the attachment.You will get 2 files in the extracted folder.copy the contents (those 2 files) to c:\cygwin folder. Step 4: Browse to C:\Cygwin folder and run/open the cmd file. For example, Sprint Pre users will run semi-auto-sprint-2.1.0.cmd Step 5: Now,it automatically downloads almost 450 Mb of data.So,have patience and wait till it completes.Once the webOS 2.1.0 JAR build is complete, it'll pop-up and initiate the doctoring/upgrade process. Follow the onscreen instructions.From here on,its just like normal doctoring. Thats it. If you get an Activation error after the phone starts, use the PALM BYPASS TOOL.Your phone will be activated. Note: If you get any errors unzipping the attached files,use 7zip. Install_CYGWIN_v1.2.pdf Semi-auto-Att-2.1.0.zip Semi-auto-Sprint-2.1.0.zip Semi-auto-Verizon-2.1.0.zip

Congrats Mahesh @Neeraj:Thank you!

Hi cooldude, Would this work for Pixi Plus as well. If not, is there another tutorial available to upgrade Pixi Plus? Hi, Currently webos 2.1.0 meta-doctor is only for pre- and pre+... pixi plus is not upgradable to 2.1.0 currently..

@Shanu:Thanks a lot for your time and patience. @Everyone:Shanu worked on my laptop for almost 2 hrs via 'Team Viewer' to get data on my palm pre.But as i've seriously altered the settings earlier,he wasn't able to get data working.But i learnt some important settings from him.Thanks a lot shanu for sharing your knowledge. *UPDATE* I've updated my palm pre to 2.1.0 and reverted to 1.4.5.Now i QPSTed for a while..and Viola..i got 1x.

This scenario would never have come had you gone for the handset from our Guru in this thread after getting so much inputs for him from many members there after your query http://www.rimweb.in...post__p__219422 I am curious why can't you take the help of your Ebay Seller who provided you the DEAL as mentioned by you here http://www.rimweb.in...post__p__221819 Finally I got the DATA WORKING on 1.4.5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also i updated to WEBOS 2.1.0. After doing lot of experimenting i now got 1x and webos 2.1.0 on my verizon palm pre plus. BTW that 'ebay seller's ' qcn file curiously worked after minor tweaks.!

Hi, I found a simple method for changing carier name(from sprint or verizon wireless to anything you wish). open the attached file with wordpad and change 'carrier text here' to 'Reliance' or what ever you want.Totally you need to change it at two places in the entire text. thats it.Dont change anything else. Extract it. Install it with preware.(it downloads GNU and lsdiff patches itself) done. change-carrier-string-and-color.rar

Please help me out.I am tired by experimenting myself.(since the past 1 week,i've been tring to do get 1x on my pre) Could you please post a detailed tutorial with screen shots.It would be helpful to people like me. plz help.

Hi, I was away from home for the past 1 week. I got the Palm pre plus a week ago.Activated it through reliance cdma 220 GSK.Got a 9 digit number from the GSK and activated my palm pre plus.I later doctored it to 1.4.5 and used palm official bypass.Now everything except data working fine. Phone is really awesome.Best touchscreen experience i ever had.Good camera quality.Average battery life. Overall its worth every buck. Just an hour ago,I got the HITACHI 250GB External USB Hard disk(worth 2100/-) free from ebay for purchasing that phone. Yes,it was unbelievable for me too.I called the seller and confirmed it. I have ordered it already. Also i'll provide the link to the deal in the TOPIC you suggested me. and to make you believe it, i'm posting the screenshots of my order.. here they are.. Hope i get the product as described.Will upload the real images once i recieve it. Cool Dude bhai - please update - did you got the deal - keeping my eyes on it...>10 days now

Surprisingly got a jaw dropping deal on ebay india today. 'Brand new Palm pre plus in box over reliance cdma for 10,999+200(Shipping) and FREE 250 GB 2.5" USBHitachi harddisk(worth 2100/-) from ebay as part of their valantines day offer'. Net cost for us=11k-2100=8900/- Actually i decided to buy EPIC 4g from 'Hetal' over here at rimweb.But apparantly as you can see,that deal on ebay was really good.So i decided to go for palm pre plus.As i actually ordered a palm pre plus(GSM) on ebay earlier and got cheated,this time i called this seller and confirmed that the deal was genuine.Also his feedback said the same. I ordered it just now.It would arrive on wednesday. So,I'm postponing my plans for epic 4g for few more weeks.Till then i will experience the mystified web os. All the guys who helped me earlier..thanks a lot. I'll update more when i recieve it.
