tarun_kabra 204 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) ^^ official rom installed - device not starting says needs activation...... how to bypass Very Sad, Had you used the Java file or done the OTA update. I suffered the same thing yesterday night after using 1.4.5 WebOS using Java installer. But then I used the Bypass Rom from links given by Hitesh Bhai to overcome this situation. I think, It shouldn't have asked for activation if upgraded OTA, that is what I understand from Doc's post may be try some qinray 1.3.5 or 1.4 rom create daig mode and create data settings and then use update app and update to 1.4.5 Edited September 10, 2010 by tarun_kabra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 817 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 I used the downloaded file - from sprint - i am going back for bypass, wanted to ask Dr KMM how to install official rom in such case.... i am aware of bypass of quinray 1.03 (courtesy Dr KMM) but having installed this how he goes to official (non Chinese he had mentioned early in todays post.

tarun_kabra 204 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 What I understand is use any bypass Rom 1.3.5/1.4/1.4.1 and do the data settings/palm profile etc and then update to latest WebOS using the update application in Palm Pre, it will update the WebOS OTA to latest 1.4.5 without any needs of activation. I am going to try this tonight at home. Rest Doc can tell better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarun_kabra 204 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 @ami, Thanks for confirming. Did you get rid off this SMS problem. I don't understand, if this is a Chinese/Treo8 Rom issue, why only a few rimwebians (including me) are facing this issue. This issue should be universal, there will be so many people around the globe using these Roms. But there is no mention of this issue anywhere on web/Google/forums. Even Doc had confirmed that there is no issue with the Rom. What can be the reason than? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 817 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 ^^ just browsing through net i found out that Chinese Rom's need Chinese character support that is 70 char long since eng sms network has 7bit somethin bla bla .... it can be expanded to 160. total should 140bytes ....... so if we use चींकी वाली ROm this is bound to happen ----- this is my Hypothesis - why don't some one build custom rom some one with idea of Linux ----Ami1 Hetal or Doc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarun_kabra 204 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 Good finds Vinay bhai, Before trying any other custom rom, I will first try 1.4.1.1 bypass followed by official 1.4.5 update OTA using wifi. If not working than I will try this find from you. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bablus 66 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 I am on Palm PRE Qinray 1.0.4 v3, and continue to face the sms problem.. Talking of characters that get delivered.. there is no consistency that only 70 or 120 characters come? Some SMSes get truncated with just 25-30 characters too.. and in some I get full 140..

ami1 237 Report post Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) 1. I think Genius inference that the chinese character issue could have something to do with this may be correct. Initially i used to think that these treo8 roms mentioning chinese char support will have the entire UI will be chinese and i'll be stuck with an unusable Pre. 2. Even I get completely random results like Bablus - sometimes just 20 characters received. But all this only happens when its a SMS beyond 130. 3. I will try using meta doctor to edit 1.4.5 sprint rom to have it bypass activation stage. Will update and post IF I AM ABLE TO DO IT. EDIT: I think i'll try the std edition link provided by Genius first (meta doctoring will take up a few hours as don't use ububtu and will need to install it in vmware/vbox etc since novacom drivers don't work on my distro yet - so will try it tomorrow) EDIT2: The std edition link is not giving me any download - all 5 download links just open the treo8 home page ! ?? EDIT3: Sorry, got the download after using non translated page. Will update. Edited September 11, 2010 by ami1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ami1 237 Report post Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) I have done a meta-doctor on the Sprint 1.4.5. Pre ROM with the following things enabled in the makefile: Bypass Activation, Bypass First Use App, Enable Developer Mode, Disable Upload Daemon (daily upload of some logs to palm), Disable Modem Update, Increase Var space. Am uploading this rom as well as the treo8 std edn (linked by genius - since its download speed from treo8 mirrors was very slow) and will post links shortly once I test that sms is working ok etc. EDIT: 1. OK, here's the link to the 145 sprint pre ROM modified with Meta Doctor: http://www.multiupload.com/W91U15J1GC CAUTION: I HAVE NOT YET TESTED THIS AS I AM RUNNING A BACKUP ON PRE WHICH WILL TAKE 1-2 HOURS. SO DON"T TELL ME IF SOMETHING BREAKS AS THIS IS THE 1st TIME I HAVE DONE THIS. However, the process was quite simple so i am 99% sure there won't be any problem. Plus in case of any problem just doctor with another rom. Make file is attached in case you want to check something. I've used the cygwin method on windows 7 (as i don't use ubuntu and didn't want to install in vmware etc.) I'll post the method here, its just 3-4 simple steps. 2. The Treo8 std edition upload has failed so I've put it for upload again. It takes an hour or so and will put link then. EDIT 2: the Treo8 Standard Edition 1.4.5 Sprint Pre is uploaded here Makefile.txt Edited September 12, 2010 by ami1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ami1 237 Report post Posted September 12, 2010 ^^^ Same is the case with me - Never happened with me on 1.3.5 or 1.4.1.1 or 1.4.5. I haven't tried 1.04 so can't say. Installed apps from WOSQI always appear at the bottom of the 1st launcher page on my pre. I am trying the meta doctored rom now. Will update if it solves sms issue (and doesn't have any new issue now!) BTW, anyone has any idea if its possible to buy a PRE Digitizer or (touchscreen+digitizer) as mine is dying. It doesn't register taps on left and lower left sides. Plus has ghost taps. If the part is available somewhere I will be able to install it. ' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ami1 237 Report post Posted September 12, 2010 The meta doctored ROM is working fine and i am able to send and recieve 160 char sms's. Data and other things are also working fine.

ami1 237 Report post Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) Ok, I have made a new version of 145 sprint pre ROM - meta doctored with only activation & 1st use app bypass and NOTHING else. Previous version was giving problems to Genius though it was working on mine. In previous version I had disabled Radio Flashing so that i don't need to enter any data/voice settings etc again but have not done that in this version since genius's radio remained in airplane mode in previous version. In case someone wants to try meta doctoring, it is quite simple and i have written the steps here LINK: http://www.multiupload.com/YGL379ZLCI Edited September 12, 2010 by ami1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
