cooldude9848 10 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) 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.

mihirf2003 7 Report post Posted March 10, 2011 wat about sprint pre- people??? and if meta doctored to webos 2.1 then wat about reliance settings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cooldude9848 10 Report post Posted March 10, 2011 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bablus 66 Report post Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) No difference.. Just to clarify my question when I run Semi-auto-Sprint-2.1.0 file.. The rom that is getting downloaded is called "webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.4.5" is that okay? or do I expect a file with sufix of 2.1?

rahulpadron 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2011 Recently updated to WebOS 2.1. its really cool!!! BUT, There's a bit of glitch with the contacts, I've noticed. First of all, the scrolling is not that smooth(which isn't much of a problem) But, the major problem is with setting up the contact photos. Whenever I try to set up an image for any contact, its blurred n low-res. I didn't had this problem with WebOS 1.4.5, the contact photos used to appear perfectly clear n high res. I am having this problem only with the manually set up photos, and not with my contacts synced up with Facebook or Google. Is anybody seems notice this same issue...Any solutions???
