00:14.56JetUniHey, for some reason my Pre+ on 2.1 won't load past a certain point in Luna.  Early enough that I can't connect to it with Novaterm.  Is there anything I can do besides doctor?
00:17.56PatrickC_Pre2TheRoomW: Gesture Tutorial should work
00:18.15PatrickC_Pre2JetUni: Memboot?
00:18.41JetUniHow do I do a Memboot?
00:18.53TheRoomWPatrickC_Pre2: thanks I will give it a try
00:19.14PatrickC_Pre2TheRoomW: make sure airplane mode is off too :)
00:19.50TheRoomWPatrickC_Pre2: yeah I kind of thought I would have to, I had it on for a bit and it caused all kinds of problems lol
00:20.13PatrickC_Pre2JetUni: http://en.m.webos-internals.org/wiki/Memboot?wasRedirected=true
00:21.22JetUniK thx, I'll go over that and see if I have any questions
00:31.45NuttyBunnyJetUni: ping
00:32.13NuttyBunnyPatrickC_Pre2: First ask how they installed on their Pre's :P
00:37.10JetUniPing?
00:37.50NuttyBunnyyep
00:38.05NuttyBunnysomething says ping and you answer
00:38.30NuttyBunnypong or whatever you like, it's to call you :)
00:38.52NuttyBunnyWhat did you use to install 2.1 on your ...  Pre +?

00:41.41NickNickgood evening
00:42.08NuttyBunnygood evening :)
00:43.39JetUniI used the scripts from webos-internals
00:44.39NuttyBunnyJetUni: And you used the scripts on what operating system?
00:44.56JetUniWindows 7x64
00:45.25NuttyBunnyok, and have you recently read the wiki or the upgrade thread?
00:46.01JetUniI've glanced at it and noticed some changes
00:46.30NuttyBunnysome subtle but VERY important changes I might say my friend
00:47.04NuttyBunnyIn a nutshell: Don't use windows to create your doctor, you'll have a hard time figuring what's wrong
00:47.30JetUniYes I have noticed such things as the Cygwin and stuff
00:47.50NuttyBunnyyep, using windows with cygwin will render your doctor unreliable
00:47.56JetUniAll I have is Windows...
00:48.14JetUniI tried a VM of Ubuntu but that totally failed...
00:48.26NickNickJetUni: it's pretty easy to make a bootable linux CD/DVD
00:48.34NickNickmost of the distros will do that
00:48.57JetUniI'll brb in about 30 min or so...sorry
00:49.09NuttyBunnyok, if you return we may be able to help
00:50.20NickNickNuttyBunny: i used a mac to get 2.1. Am i right that you can just boot off of a CD to make the custom doc?
00:51.06TheRoomWPatrickC_Pre2: the gesture tutorial worked to load the profile
00:51.34NuttyBunnyNickNick: If you used a mac you're fine.  But you must install linux somewhere to make the doc, you just won't get enough space using a live cd
00:52.38PatrickC_Pre2TheRomW: cool
00:52.51NickNickgotcha. knew i was fine, but wasn't sure if a live cd could use 5ish GB disc space needed for the process.
00:54.14NuttyBunnyNickNick: It can, if you have the knowledge to create a file to mount a loopback filesystem, a thing that most people don't have the slightest idea of what it is :D
00:54.44NickNickheh. that goes for me too :)
00:56.41NuttyBunnyhehehe... that's the reason the Wiki asks politely to install ubuntu, wubi is a nice option. Mac users, since the OS is unix based, have no problems
00:59.21PatrickC_Pre2OSX is unix basted?
00:59.26PatrickC_Pre2based*
01:00.06NuttyBunnyBSD in fact
01:01.50NickNickdeliciously basted in unix :)

01:23.32M4XEvening everyone
01:23.38PatrickC_Pre2evening
01:23.39NickNickhey
01:23.56M4XI've got a quick question for you gys.
01:24.02PatrickC_Pre2ok
01:24.54M4XI got my unlock Pre 2 in as well as had Lasik surgery today.  I don't feel up to trying the mechanical aspect of switching com boards (I currently have a Pre-).  If I doctor this thing wifi only I would be able to redoctor tomorrow after I switched com boards?
01:25.21PatrickC_Pre2I have no clue..
01:25.28M4XFair enough.
01:25.47PatrickC_Pre2I would expect so, but idk
01:26.10PatrickC_Pre2wants to get Lasik, but doesn't want them to cut his eye open.. :p
01:26.15M4XI felt the same way but I don't want to screw it up.  Thanks for the quick response  nonetheless i'll see if i can dig around.
01:26.22M4Xlol PatrickC_Pre2 they do it all with lazers now
01:26.40PatrickC_Pre2really?
01:26.40halfhaloLASERS
01:26.46PatrickC_Pre2might get it now..
01:26.58halfhalohave to be 20ish for lasik
01:27.05PatrickC_Pre2:'(
01:27.06M4Xgo check it out.  My recovery time is like 24 hours.
01:27.12M4XNah I am 28
01:27.14PatrickC_Pre2I'm 15..
01:27.18M4Xlol
01:27.25PatrickC_Pre2:)
01:27.31halfhaloat least 20ish I mean
01:27.40M4Xah that i am not sure about.
01:30.02PatrickC_Pre2hehe.. my pre2 is off in time by 55 days, 3 hrs, and 3 min :p

01:33.12NickNickM4X: i think if you skip first activation you will be OK. I know once it's activated that locks in some things with HP.
01:33.51M4XI remember something about the app catalog where if this was activated in australia for instance I would only see their app catalog.
01:34.26NickNickright, so i think you need to skip activation for the time being.
01:34.50NickNickAlso, i believe that if the device isn't activated you can fake out your location in order to get app cat full access
01:34.54NickNickthere's a precentral thread on it
01:35.16JetUniOk, I'm back. So I tried the Memboot option...It's still booting up so I'll give it another minute
01:35.22M4XThanks NickNick I'll see if I can find it.
01:36.03NickNickhttp://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre-2/276361-sprint-pre-2-full-app-catalog-access-finally-we-have-success.html
01:36.21NickNickhaven't read it myself, as i'm on VZW, but thats likely the state of the art
01:36.54NickNickJetUni: memboot?
01:37.07NickNickare you booting from a cd?
01:38.00JetUniI was trying to get my phone to boot without doctoring and someone suggested Memboot, but its been at it for at least 4 minutes, so far nothing
01:38.13JetUniIt just won't boot past Luna
01:38.19NickNickah
01:38.55NickNickgive it some time. Mine takes like 5+ min to boot non memboot.
01:38.56PatrickC_Pre2JetUni: that was me that suggested it
01:39.17PatrickC_Pre2but I suggested it without knowing that it was a cygwin made meta-doctor
01:39.26JetUniPatrickC_Pre2 i thought it was u...just didn't want to look back
01:39.33PatrickC_Pre2lol
01:39.41JetUnioh haha alright
01:39.47NickNickJetUni: just install ubuntu
01:39.55NickNickor WUBI
01:40.13PatrickC_Pre2JetUni: ubuntu or any linux distro in a VBox should work
01:40.52JetUniBasically just tell me the easiest way to copy /media/internal to my computer plz? Thx!
01:41.34PatrickC_Pre2I don't believe you can without novacom access (or putting it into USB mode)
01:41.50NickNickthat would have been the thing to do before doctoring... :(
01:42.01NickNickMaybe from memboot, i don't know...
01:43.29NuttyBunnyYou may do it like the meta doctor creates the backups
01:44.05JetUniMy phone has worked fine with the Cygwin doctor for months now, I just was playing around in Internalz Pro and I guess I messed something up pretty bad
01:44.33NuttyBunnybasically: extract the installer kernel from the webos doctor, mount your partitions, and send them compressed via novacom
01:45.17NuttyBunnyah, I forgot bootmem from the installer image :)
01:45.57NuttyBunnydare to try? you don't have nothing to lose
01:46.08JetUniIn English plz! Haha ;) I guess I could
01:46.29JetUniThe WUBI installer isn't working.... :(
01:46.37NuttyBunny:D  Ok, so, you played with internalz and deleted files that you shouldn't
01:47.03PatrickC_Pre2doctor usually fixes that :)
01:47.09NuttyBunnyyou downloaded the ubuntu image, burned it to a cd, inserted it while running windows, and opened wubi?
01:47.23NuttyBunnyor you downloaded the "windows installer" from the ubuntu page?
01:47.26JetUnididn't delete any...just changed a few appinfo.json
01:47.27NickNickNuttyBunny: i bow down before your superior knowledge
01:47.53NuttyBunnyNickNick: I owe everything to my mentor, rwhitby  ;)
01:47.58JetUniI downloaded windows installer
01:48.03NuttyBunnyno, no
01:48.15NuttyBunnygo to the wiki page, I added a note to avoid that one :P
01:48.16PatrickC_Pre2JetUni: usually changing some appinfo.json 's doesn't break things..
01:48.24PatrickC_Pre2which appinfo.json?
01:48.32JetUniStock apps
01:48.46JetUniPhone, Web, Messaging, Email
01:48.58NuttyBunnybut... you really can't access via novaterm??
01:48.59scoutcamperyeah, that would prolly do it
01:49.01PatrickC_Pre2what did you change in them?
01:49.04JetUninope
01:49.20NuttyBunnynevermind... well get your files
01:49.20JetUnivisible=false
01:49.26NuttyBunnyLOL
01:49.29JetUniK sweet
01:49.50PatrickC_Pre2JetUni: that shouldn't brick it..
01:50.02JetUniI know...wierd right!
01:50.11NuttyBunnyyou need: novacom, ... and nothing else I think
01:50.16JetUnithe wubi installer finally woke up!
01:50.18PatrickC_Pre2I change those all the time..
01:50.43NuttyBunnyif anyone else want to join the fun pay attention, we're going to recover a /media/internal partition from a dead device ;)
01:51.17JetUniDo I want the WUBI then?
01:51.33NuttyBunnyTo create a new doctor, yes
01:51.39PatrickC_Pre2NuttyBunny: cool!
01:51.44NuttyBunnyleave it downloading/installing :)
01:51.57JetUnioh jeez!
01:52.14JetUniremaining time approx. 1 hr....
01:52.44NuttyBunnyEverybody: You may even want to try this on your devices, we won't write nothing to them, but we'll have to boot in recovery mode
01:53.08M4Xhm?
01:53.11NuttyBunnywe need to uncompress the webos doctor, any recent doctor will do, even a borked meta doctor
01:53.11PatrickC_Pre2I'll write down the instructions
01:53.29PatrickC_Pre2NuttyBunny: is there a wiki page for this?
01:53.42NuttyBunnynot exactly
01:54.06NuttyBunnybut I might as well write one... "Recover your data from a non-booting device" :D
01:54.09NuttyBunnysounds nice :)
01:54.11JetUniI still have the old Cygwin doctor
01:54.31JetUniOr a 2.1 WR
01:54.39JetUnior 2.0.1 Verizon Pre2
01:54.43NuttyBunnyThat will work, any will work
01:54.50NuttyBunnyuncompress it somewhere on your drive
01:54.59JetUnigot it
01:55.14PatrickC_Pre2NuttyBunny: it does sound nice :)
01:55.29NuttyBunny.jar files are simply zip files with another extension, so, you could change it's extension and open it, or open it with winrar
01:55.59PatrickC_Pre2I use 7zip
01:56.11M4XNuttyBunny: Do you know if I can run the wifi only doctor to only then later doctor it to sprint (for an unlocked Pre 2)
01:56.40NuttyBunnyM4X: I don't see why not
01:57.03JetUnishould I put it in recovery mode?
01:57.06NuttyBunnyok, inside the doctor you'll find 3 directories, com, META-INF, resources
01:57.12JetUnialright
01:57.24NuttyBunnyyep, put it in recovery mode, that's fun also
01:57.40NuttyBunnyinside resources you'll find "webOS.tar"
01:57.55NuttyBunnyuncompress this one
01:58.11JetUniok
01:58.13PatrickC_Pre2is documenting this in Noted! Beta
01:58.20NuttyBunnyand there you'll find a truly magical file: nova-installer-image-roadrunner.uImage   (or something similar)
01:58.32NuttyBunnya file with "nova-installer*.image"
01:59.18NuttyBunnynow, extract this file to some directory, even to C:\ will work
02:00.35NuttyBunnyeveryone here knows how to do a failproof recovery mode?
02:00.56NickNicknot me
02:01.07NuttyBunnyok, look:
02:01.10PatrickC_Pre2pull batt, hold vol up, insert usb cable, reinsert battery
02:01.17NuttyBunnyexactly :)
02:01.29PatrickC_Pre2:)
02:01.32JetUniOK
02:01.39NickNickahh, just like the wiki says. imagine that ;)
02:02.04JetUniHaha yup
02:02.19NuttyBunnyNow, we have to be running novacomd service
02:02.35NuttyBunnyif we don't, the following step simply won't work :)

02:17.17scoutcamperNuttyBunny, on windows you can do novacom -t open tty://

02:47.27NuttyBunnyJetUni, are you using a "castle" image? or a "roadrunner" image?

02:47.36NickNickwell ok, i'm out for tonight
02:47.41JetUniwhoops!
02:47.43NuttyBunnyLOL
02:47.44M4Xits pretty sweet.  I <3 my google voice number so now I can use it as if I don't have a regular cell number.
02:47.45NuttyBunnyROFL
02:47.56NuttyBunnywe did exactly the same mistake!
02:47.58NickNickPatrickC_Pre2: if you want i'll make the notes into a wiki page later
02:48.27NickNickor add them to the recovery page maybe
02:48.35NuttyBunnyOk, take note: USE THE CORRECT BOOT IMAGE FOR YOUR DEVICE: Pre - Castle, Pre2 - Roadrunner

02:49.28NuttyBunnyso, it's:
02:49.32NuttyBunnyrecovery mode
02:49.36PatrickC_Pre2nuttybunny: let me know when its done :)
02:49.49NuttyBunnynovacom -w boot mem:// < nova-installer-image-castle.uImage
02:50.03NuttyBunnywait about 30 secs, and then:
02:50.09NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://usr/sbin/lvm.static -- vgchange -ay --ignorelockingfailure
02:50.13PatrickC_Pre2is this from the beginning?
02:50.14NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/mkdir -- -p /tmp/media
02:50.16JetUniyay!!!
02:50.21NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/mount -- /dev/mapper/store-media /tmp/media
02:50.25JetUnifirst one worked!
02:50.41NuttyBunnyPatrick: This is the one :)
02:50.43JetUnii copied all commands to a .txt file thx!
02:50.48PatrickC_Pre2ok :)
02:51.09NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/ls -- /tmp/media        <-  optional, you should see several directories, including media
02:51.32NuttyBunnymmm..
02:51.35NuttyBunnyI missed one
02:51.54NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://usr/sbin/lvm.static -- vgscan --ignorelockingfailure

02:52.32NuttyBunnytype them again, it doesn't matter, yep, correct order
02:52.47PatrickC_Pre2ok
02:53.25NuttyBunnyperfect, I see my files, in fact you 'll see your files from /media/internal
02:54.08JetUniI did it in that order
02:54.16NuttyBunnyand you see your files?
02:54.21JetUnino...
02:54.23PatrickC_Pre2So, this works?
02:54.39NuttyBunnydamn... any errors?
02:54.56JetUniit ran command, but no dialog after
02:55.07PatrickC_Pre2NuttyBunny: http://pastebin.com/Zx3JJ6KN
02:55.09JetUnihow do i copy paste in cmd.exe?
02:55.34PatrickC_Pre2right click
02:55.37PatrickC_Pre2hit paste
02:55.40NuttyBunnythat

02:55.59PatrickC_Pre2ok
02:56.21JetUniit connects in novaterm tho...
02:56.21PatrickC_Pre2then the thing I said should work
02:56.35PatrickC_Pre2I know it does.. but you can also go to:
02:56.44NuttyBunnyok, maybe if you type:
02:56.49NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/ls -- /tmp/media
02:56.51PatrickC_Pre2run >> theNovaTermCmd
02:56.53NuttyBunnyyou'll see your files
02:57.07NuttyBunnyit was the optional step
02:57.11PatrickC_Pre2NuttyBunny: did you see my paste?
02:57.28NuttyBunnyPatrick: Yep, add that line too, to check that the files are there
02:57.40PatrickC_Pre2what step?
02:57.47NuttyBunnyJetUni: Type that line too, the "ls" command is for showing you the files
02:57.52NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/ls -- /tmp/media
02:58.18PatrickC_Pre2step 6? (5 was the last step that I have)
02:58.26NuttyBunnyyep, step 6

03:04.50JetUni!!!
03:05.03NuttyBunnyexcellent!!!
03:05.11JetUniVERY!!!
03:05.20NuttyBunnyNow, the tricky part that I hope works in windows
03:05.37JetUnihaha oh shoot! cross your fingers
03:05.40NuttyBunnyThe comand in linux (or cygwin) is as follows, don't type, it's just for reference:
03:06.04NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/tar -- -C /tmp/media/ --totals -cf - . |gzip -c > media.tgz
03:06.25NuttyBunnyok, try this:
03:07.16NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/tar -- -C /tmp/media --totals -cf - . | cat media.tar
03:07.38JetUnithis is in cmd right?
03:07.45NuttyBunnyyep
03:08.23JetUnicat is not recognized as an internal or external command
03:08.45NuttyBunnydamn, which was the command?? hehehe
03:09.04NuttyBunnyah..
03:09.19NuttyBunnyI don't think it will work, try this:
03:09.24JetUninovacom -w run file://bin/tar -- -C /tmp/media --totals -cf - . | cat media.tar
03:09.36NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/tar -- -C /tmp/media --totals -cf - . | copy con > media.tar
03:09.45NuttyBunnyno,
03:09.47NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/tar -- -C /tmp/media --totals -cf - . | copy con media.tar
03:10.19NuttyBunnycrosses fingers, hoping that Microsoft did redirections as intended...
03:10.24JetUniprocessing....
03:10.54NuttyBunnyopen a windows explorer window
03:11.07NuttyBunnylook for the c:\media.tar file
03:11.12NuttyBunnysee if it grows
03:11.19NuttyBunnysee if you hard disk is working
03:12.45JetUnidont see any file by that name...
03:13.19JetUnithe WUBI install failed...
03:13.51JetUnithis makes me want to switch to Linux
03:13.55NuttyBunnystupid wubi, that's the reason I don't like the famous windows installer, please download the "ubuntu desktop installer"
03:14.10NuttyBunnyis the hard disk working at least?
03:14.34JetUnihow can i tell?
03:14.45JetUnidoesn't look or sound like it...
03:14.57NuttyBunnymmm...
03:15.11NuttyBunnyargh
03:15.17NuttyBunnywe were so close
03:15.20NuttyBunnystupid windows
03:15.27JetUnii hit enter on the cmd and the file showed up!
03:15.41NuttyBunnyyep.........
03:15.44NuttyBunnyah, I know
03:15.45JetUnibut it may be a fraction of the whole thing...
03:15.46NuttyBunnyhit ctrl-C
03:15.56NuttyBunnyno, it's just the enter you typed :D
03:16.04JetUnidang...
03:16.22NuttyBunnyI know how , I think
03:16.38JetUniCtrl-C told me it copied 0 files
03:16.49NuttyBunnynovacom -w run file://bin/tar -- -C /tmp/media --totals -cf - . > media.tar
03:16.52th3vo1dall this for a boot problem?
03:17.19th3vo1dgood lord
03:17.38NuttyBunnyno, we're not messing with the boot problem, this is to recover his files when he can't access anything on his phone
03:18.32NuttyBunnywe'll put this on a wiki so we won't clobber the IRC as today :)
03:19.06th3vo1dlol i was just curious
03:19.11NuttyBunnyhehehe
03:19.25NuttyBunnyme too, that's the reason I tried to do it :D
03:19.27JetUniif it was just boot problem i would've doctored...
03:19.39NuttyBunnyDid the last command work?
03:19.55bnceoplease put on wiki
03:20.00bnceoI need reading material tomorrow at work

03:21.30JetUninevermind....F5 its growing!
03:21.44JetUniyay!
03:21.49NuttyBunnyas we mexicans would say: "A Huevo!!!"
03:22.32NuttyBunnylet it finish, and then open the .tar file with winrar or 7zip, and uncompress some files to see if it really worked
03:23.10PatrickC_Pre2nuttybunny: more commands to document?
03:23.40NuttyBunnyyep Patrick, for Linux/Mac: novacom -w run file://bin/tar -- -C /tmp/media/ --totals -cf - . |gzip -c > media.tgz
03:23.55JetUniok, then I make a doctor using Ubuntu right?
03:23.57NuttyBunnyfor windows this one seems to work: novacom -w run file://bin/tar -- -C /tmp/media --totals -cf - . > media.tar

03:35.41JetUnithanks everyone!!!!
03:35.42JetUniso much!!!!
03:35.54PatrickC_Pre2it was all NuttyBunny :)
03:36.13NuttyBunnyhehehe
03:36.20PatrickC_Pre2and because of this, many can backup their usb drive when their phone won't boot
03:36.30PatrickC_Pre2has needed to do that before...
03:36.37JetUniThank You so much +NuttyBunny!!!
03:36.43NuttyBunnyyep! Even with no keyboard working or screen :)
03:37.23PatrickC_Pre2JetUni: hope you like Ubuntu :) I know I do (now if I can just do a dualboot...)
03:37.41PatrickC_Sleepinnight all
03:37.54JetUniThanks!! night
03:38.06destinalNuttyBunny: don't even need any working buttons at all on the device, if you boot with pusb or similar omap loader
03:38.32PatrickC_Sleepincan you boot into recovery mode without the volume up button?
03:38.40destinalPatrickC_Sleepin: yup, with pusb
03:38.45PatrickC_Sleepincool
03:38.46NuttyBunnycan you boot without volume up???  Ah, with the "last resort recovery" method :D
03:38.53destinalyeah
03:38.58PatrickC_Sleepinhehe
03:39.09rwhitbyNuttyBunny: wonder why you didn't just say "make backup" in meta-doctor ?
03:39.17rwhitbyinstead of all those manual commands
03:39.28NuttyBunnycygwin
03:40.21NuttyBunnyI'm trying to simplify it so people can just go and see the wiki for "recovering your files"
03:41.03JetUnifor people like me... :)
03:41.08NuttyBunnyinstead of "install ubuntu, install cygwin, download this, download that", people get lost, and sometimes they just want their files and redoctor
03:41.14NuttyBunnylike JetUni here
03:42.11rwhitbymumbles about teaching how to fish ... ;)
03:42.11NuttyBunnyYou know I hate windows, but if at least they got the file redirection well done, we might as well use it and avoid the cygwin installation, ... as I say always, another layer for errors :)
03:42.20NuttyBunnyLOL
03:43.00NuttyBunnywait til I finish the page, it's not just "copy and paste", it will be explained
03:44.11PatrickC_Sleepingood :) my documentation wasn't exactly the best :p
03:46.27PatrickC_SleepinI'm off to bed for real now, night :)
03:54.09NuttyBunnyOne thing is trying to install an unsupported operating system version on your device and other very different is see a static hp or palm or Tux logo on your screen and the fear of not seeing your files again, or what if your device breaks hard and only the volume button works :)
03:58.52destinalNuttyBunny: these are the people that really shouldn't be playing with unsupported operating systems until they're a little more proven, eh?
03:59.05NuttyBunnyToday turned to be a nice day after all:  I donated platelets to a patient at my gf's hospital, I got another Pixi backup, I got my Pixi, I helped JetUni to recover his files... I just couldn't do 2 things: Unlock the Pixi and run Android on the Plus....
03:59.23NuttyBunnydestinal: yeah, it can work for them also
03:59.40NuttyBunnyI get tired of people coming and asking the same ;)
04:00.02destinalNuttyBunny: just saying, people not comfortable with making backups and doctoring their device on their own really should stay out at this phase.  it's bleeding edge time
04:00.44destinaljust like these guys wouldn't be well served by running linux kernel 0.99  and so on :)
04:01.03ka6sox-awayhas phones for this sort of thing...
04:02.00NuttyBunnypeople get tired and "want" to try somethig else, but even if the poster says: "experimental, can break your phone, etc", they DON'T READ THAT and go and brick their devices (sic)
04:02.28NuttyBunnyand as well, they DON'T READ and don't know that the instructions to recover their devices are in the same stupid thread

04:02.47destinalNuttyBunny: yeah but forgive me if I don't want to rush out and help people who break their phones out of boredom and not following directions
04:03.07JetUniwell I did something that shouldn't have done this, but if I would've known I would've backed it up....and the best way to learn is by trying stuff right
04:03.20NuttyBunnyreminds me the last 3 or 4 pages of the meta doctor 2.1 upgrade page installing with windows :)
04:04.05NuttyBunnydestinal: that's the reason of the wiki's... later I just tend to say something like "ah, you used windows, you're f*cked, read this warning from Rod, and go here to use linux"
04:04.26NuttyBunnybut JetUni proposed a nice challenge :D
04:05.48JetUnihaha so apparently Windows sucks if you're using Palm stuff...
04:05.55destinalJetUni: yeah, well, learning is good, no denying that.  I think to some degree people are spoiled on a strong webos advanced homebrew ecosystem that doesn't tend to break stuff
04:05.55NuttyBunnyand well, after backing up 3 pixis, I thought it could be used for this exact purpose, and maybe we wouldn't even need cygwin, make, python, git, etc... just some lines to backup the usb partition
04:06.23destinalie people are used to things, even exotic things like replacing your kernel being solid and just working if it's stuff webos-internals is doing
04:06.36destinalbut other kinds of stuff, not always the same standards
04:08.06NuttyBunnyIndeed. I really like webos-internals way of doing things, but I'm just not as patient :(
04:08.07destinalNuttyBunny: yeah, the wiki articles give you what you need there I think, just boot the installer image, use novacom to dd
04:08.17destinalno need for python etc
04:08.38JetUniit just finished writing a total of 12GB !!
04:08.59NuttyBunnyexcellent, open it with winrar and extract some random file and check it's ok! :D
04:09.25destinalNuttyBunny: hmm, used tar?
04:09.50JetUnidoes jzip work?
04:10.03NuttyBunnyno idea, try it
04:10.30NuttyBunnydestinal: yes, since we're not running in cygwin, no gzip
04:10.38JetUniit does!! and they're all there and ok!! yes!!!
04:10.51NuttyBunnyand I didn't check if the installer image comes with gzip
04:11.26JetUninow you can finish the wiki and say that it worked on your test case...haha
04:11.35NuttyBunnyexcellent :)
04:12.30NuttyBunnyah, gzip is there!
04:12.59NuttyBunnyah, it works....
04:14.19NuttyBunnySo, meta doctor should work with    novacom -w run file://bin/tar -- -C /tmp/media/ --totals -czf - .  > media.tgz          as well, and it even works with windows, no cygwin
04:16.41NuttyBunnyok, wiki created, I'll update it later, basic layout is there :)
04:18.08destinalNuttyBunny: why would you even need metadoctor?
04:19.18NuttyBunnydestinal: MetaDoctor can do a full backup of your device, but most people don't need that, they only want their files
04:19.26destinaljust novacom boot mem the installer image, novaterm in and run the mount commands, then do your novacom tar
04:20.04NuttyBunnyyes, you and I can do that
04:20.22destinalNuttyBunny: if it was put in a batch file, so could anyone :)
04:20.28NuttyBunnybut think of the mom that just got her Pre and for some reason got fucked
04:21.33destinalNuttyBunny: um, this is way beyond mom, she should doctor  (and doctoring with the same image won't lose her pictures)
04:22.14NuttyBunnyok, ok, it was for me, just for me, It was a challenge that I wanted to see if it could be done :P

04:23.38Saijhow goes the pixi madness?
04:23.41NuttyBunnyI love to know the internals of things, how they work, how they interact, that's the reason I'm into booting the stupid android image too, just to see it in person :D
04:24.02NuttyBunnySaij: It hasn't begun yet, not until I unlock my Pixi
04:24.21destinalNuttyBunny: what do you mean unlock
04:24.25SaijAh, fair enough man. I'm prety excited to see that even happening
04:24.56NuttyBunnydestinal: It's an AT&T Pre Plus and won't accept my Telcel SIM, it's carrier locked
04:25.14NuttyBunnys/Pre/Pixi/
04:25.16SaijATT is nice about that, just tell them you're traveling out of the country
04:25.33destinalSaij: you have to actually have an account with them though
04:25.46NuttyBunnymmm... I think I'm the third owner :S
04:25.53SaijOh, right. Never thouhgt about that haha.
04:26.12destinalNuttyBunny: do you really need telephony for what you're working on though?
04:26.49NuttyBunnydestinal: well, it has to work, doesn't it? and I won't be able to test if it won't accept my sim
04:27.15destinalNuttyBunny: I was thinking wifi only, but you mean you want to see if it works as a phone too?
04:27.48NuttyBunnydestinal: Of course! The whole package!!  It's an image from a GSM Pixi that works as a phone over there
04:28.33NuttyBunnyChange the partitions sizes, extract, run, should be piece of cake.............. (I always tend to be too optimistic)
04:29.13destinalNuttyBunny: actually I wouldn't be surprised if it was that easy, though I probably would have made a backup of the whole disk and just skip restoring the nvram section
04:29.24destinalrather than partition by partition
04:29.33NuttyBunnyAnd it shouldn't matter for cdma people as well, I don't plan on updating the modem firmware
04:29.51NuttyBunnywell, meta doctor was the tool available at the moment, and it did its work :D
04:30.10NuttyBunnybesides, it was my first time making a backup of that type
04:30.12destinalNuttyBunny: well, at least on the pre, skipping ahead versions without updating modem firmware causes ..  issues
04:30.33destinalbut since the pixi is one SoC, maybe not the same deal
04:31.16NuttyBunnymmmm... I shall see the Pixi Doctor... but i think it has a cdma firmware file and a gsm file...
04:31.57destinalNuttyBunny: much depends on whether you have the firmware image that corresponds with the version of the OS you're trying to restore too, yeah?
04:32.14NuttyBunnythe reason I got a gsm one is to try testing with Telcel, because the cdma carrier is a pain in the ***, so, other people will have to test and make it work in sprint and verizon
04:32.25NuttyBunnyI don't think we have the modem firmware backup
04:33.06NuttyBunnyand I don't think we can get one... or I haven't read a way of doing it
04:33.12JetUniHey thanks a bunch +NuttyBunny!!! I owe you one! haha see y'all later
04:33.13destinalfor example webos 2.x on pre with the modem firmware that came along with 1.4.5 had weird issues but was still useable
04:33.37NuttyBunnyJetUni: ok! c-ya!
04:33.46destinalit just claimed every call was dropped when it ended normally and wouldn't do SMS without strange corruption and so on
04:34.01NuttyBunnyah, yes, I remember reading that
04:34.45NuttyBunnypeople will have to live with that, or if someone finds the way to backup a Pixi modem firmware, that would be nice also
04:34.59NuttyBunnythe 2.1 guy has already doctored back to 1.4.5 :@
04:35.52NuttyBunnythe 2.0 guy which Backup I got today, still has 2.0, and his brother has 2.0.1 or something like that... we may be able to recover those firmwares
04:36.05NuttyBunnybut those are for gsm :(
04:39.02NuttyBunnywell, gotta go, I don't wanna drool over the keyboard :)
04:39.12Saijone quick q?
04:40.36ka6sox-awaydrool + keyboard = mess
04:40.48NuttyBunnyreally quick, shoot
04:41.05Saijstatus of Messaging patch for 1.4.5?
04:41.55NuttyBunnyThis weekend I might have some fixes for msn, aol and sametime I think
04:42.22NuttyBunnyah, fbchat may work as well, but i'm not sure
04:42.25SaijAwesome :) Just wanted to see what was going on there. I know you had to update to latest libpurple which is likely not trivial
04:43.26NuttyBunnythe non-trivial thing was switching compilers and rebuilding libraries (by the way, I'm still having issued with one)
04:44.02SaijNo rush, I can't help you do the work so I'm not going to pester you
04:44.10SaijJust wanted to hear what was going on.
04:44.25NuttyBunnyok.. well, c-ya people
04:44.30SaijBesides, it may not matter if we get webos 2.x or Android PP
04:44.33Saijlater
04:49.09ka6sox-awayoh no...that means "FOREVER"

14:59.56renancoelhoHi there, I just got two palm pre plus verizon from e-bay, but I cant log in to it... How can I activate it without verizon? could anybody send me a link? I greatly appreciate it!
15:00.19PatrickC_Pre2make a meta-doctor
15:00.52RagingMindrenancoelho, you can use meta-doctor to bypass activation, but if you want to use it as a phone you'll still need verison
15:01.14RagingMindbut they do make handy pda type web browsing wifi devices
15:01.42PatrickC_Pre2that they do RagingMine
15:01.45renancoelhoI am from florida, here there is a company(Metro PCS), and they flash the device so you can use it on their network.
15:01.47PatrickC_Pre2RagingMind*
15:02.10renancoelhoBut I will only go to them next month, so I thought I could start playing with them now.
15:02.16PatrickC_Pre2MetroPCS is GSM I believe
15:02.27renancoelhoNo, its CDMA...
15:02.32RagingMindrenancoelho, if you have a way or company that's willing to unlock the phone... just use a doctor to completely reset it to factory settings
15:02.46RagingMindI think it's www.palm.com/rom
15:03.28renancoelhoRagingMind: And that should also let me bypass activation?
15:03.42RagingMindrenancoelho, yup... check that link.  you can reset it to factory defaults, you won't be able to use the phone until someone unlocks it though
15:04.24RagingMindthere is a palm tool to bypass activation... a quick google search will bring that up
15:05.07PatrickC_Pre2or a meta-doctor that bypasses activation and allows palm-profile creation over wifi
15:05.08RagingMindor you can use the home-brew "meta-doctor" (palm provides just "doctors") to get around the activation part
15:05.19RagingMindPatrickC_Pre2, we already went over that
15:05.25RagingMindbacklogs are a wonderful thing ;)
15:05.43PatrickC_Pre2hehe, how true (didn't see that)
15:06.04renancoelhoOkay, Thank you very much you guys! Really appreciate it! Got to go now, my 18 month old is screaming in my ears! thanks again!
15:06.40RagingMindPatrickC_Pre2, because he want's to take it to a company and get it unlocked it's probably better that he doesn't stray too far outside of the standard tools until he gets that done
15:07.13PatrickC_Pre2ahh didn't think about that
15:08.47RagingMindif an action can be done with palm tools, it's better to try that first.  especially with someone that's new

16:56.33r9s_hey guys, can you look at this? https://mobile.twitter.com/r9skull/status/61466382566559745
16:57.38NuttyBunnyok, how the hell did you remove it??
16:58.19r9s_I didn't
16:58.21r9s_yet
16:58.28r9s_but I have to
16:58.41NuttyBunnywhy?
16:59.33NuttyBunnyare you installing a custom app catalog to replace the original one?
16:59.34r9s_because app catalog doesn't downloading / updating any app
17:00.30r9s_I know that I can just do Full Erase but I don't wanna do this
17:00.39NuttyBunnythis isn't windows. you can't expect to "fix" the app catalog by deleting/reinstalling it, even more if it's a core app
17:00.53NuttyBunnydid you do something that could make your app catalog stop working?
17:01.24r9s_don't know but it's again stop working
17:01.46r9s_last time I did full erase and voila
17:01.53r9s_it works
17:02.25NuttyBunnyweird...  now, the fun part.  What device, webos version, country and carrier are we talking about?
17:02.30r9s_and after couple doctoring it again stop working
17:03.06r9s_Palm Pre, webos 1.4.5, O2, unlocked, Poland
17:04.44NuttyBunnySince you have a supported device, supported carrier, etc, you should go to the palm page and ask for support there.  There have been problems with the app catalog these days, Palm is upgrading stuff on their servers for the Veer and Touchpad, and there have been certain problems, specially for europe users
17:05.37r9s_I think I don't have supported carrier
17:05.54r9s_it's polish carrier "Play"
17:06.02NuttyBunnyBut you had access before
17:06.06NuttyBunnytell them that
17:06.22r9s_I will
17:07.18NuttyBunnyHope it gets fixed without the need to do full erase :D

18:31.14NuttyBunnyunplug usb, remove battery, press and keep volume up, plug usb (you should see a battery icon with a ? inside), insert battery, you should see usb icon
18:32.00M4Xgoes straight to the palm screen

19:20.31PatrickC_Pre2what device does he have?
19:21.14th3vo1dsprint pre
19:21.23PatrickC_Pre2did you try MHS?
19:21.31PatrickC_Pre2does he have Impostah?
19:21.33th3vo1dwhich is remarkable for having NO OREO EFFECT WHATSOEVER
19:21.48th3vo1dsurprised me alot
19:21.49PatrickC_Pre2wha?!?! my pre2 has the Oreo!!
19:22.23th3vo1dyea, all the pres i went thru getting my sprint pre plus had oreo, some worse than others
19:22.35th3vo1dmhs? impostah?
19:22.56PatrickC_Pre2MHS = Mobile HotSpot
19:23.03PatrickC_Pre2Impostah = amazing app
19:23.17th3vo1dtried mhs on my plus, couldnt get it to work
19:23.19PatrickC_Pre2with Impostah you can download geo/carrier restricted apps
19:23.29th3vo1dwhy bother when freetether works better
19:23.58th3vo1dis mhs supposed to not be so battery draining or something?
19:24.19PatrickC_Pre2MHS is the official app, and Impostah is just a good app to have :)
19:25.51th3vo1dnot worried at all about "official" whatever, just want it to work
19:26.35th3vo1dnot like it would make any differece being on sprint
19:26.36PatrickC_Pre2ok, but Impostah is cool. you should check it out
19:26.42th3vo1dits only official for verizon
19:26.48PatrickC_Pre2true
19:27.03PuffTheMagicwhy are you talking about MHS and Impostah in the same sentence?
19:27.10PuffTheMagicthey are totally unrelated
19:27.12th3vo1dlol
19:27.19PuffTheMagicand why are you not promoting freeTether?

20:18.32renancoelhois it possible?
20:18.39th3vo1dtheir services are provisioned differently from verizon
20:19.04th3vo1ddo you have a partcular reason for using metropcs?
20:19.12renancoelhojust price...
20:19.26th3vo1dbecause i would suggest page plus wireless if you are only worried about cost
20:19.39th3vo1dthey use verizon's network
20:19.44renancoelhodo they have it on florida?
20:19.48th3vo1dso your phone would work directly

20:30.54th3vo1dyes, but you will need to modify your phone to do so, and then modify it again to undo it
20:31.12halfhalopage plus is vzw's own internal prepaid system.  You shoul be able to go into a vzw store and activate there
20:31.12th3vo1dnope
20:31.15th3vo1dseperate company
20:31.30th3vo1dvzw prepaid is under the "inpulse" brand
20:32.05renancoelhodo these pre paid have like couple plan?
20:33.08renancoelhoI mean family plan...
20:33.21halfhaloherm, then what company did vzw launch for prepaid (not inpulse, there is another) which lets you activate any vzw smartphone on it...

20:36.03th3vo1derr

20:36.30Loudergoodno they have to be verizon compatible
20:36.47destinalth3vo1d: ah, ok, vzw comm board will do it then, I have a couple of those handy
20:37.12Loudergoodthe only phones you can't activate are blackberries and inpulse phones

20:37.33th3vo1dif a phone will work on vzw, it will work on page plus
20:37.34SineOtit's apparently just an MVNO for Verizon
20:37.44renancoelhothe 30 dollar plan has a 100mb data on it, so once it reaches the 100mb it just stops right? they don't try to charge you extra?
20:37.45th3vo1dyes exactly
20:37.51th3vo1dcorrect
20:37.55th3vo1dits a prepaid plan

21:09.32SineOtI remember reading something about their flashing being done with like, 1.3.1 or something
21:09.53renancoelhoalso, how come there isn't an easier way to do all this now that it is legal to unlock phone?
21:10.15NuttyBunnyperhaps because the unlocking thing applies for gsm only?
21:10.33renancoelhocdma too isn't it?
21:10.44SineOtyou can unlock CDMA, kind of sort of
21:11.17SineOtit's more that CDMA doesn't require a lot of the same settings to be changeable on the phone, so what it's programed for in the OS is what it's got, etc
21:12.04renancoelhoand to doctor it back to normal? just use the regular palm doctor?
