You might be experiencing the same thing that happened to me. When I ran the webOS QuickInstall for the first time I hosed the auto download of the webOS Dr. I then downloaded it from another location and changed the file name to match the filename from the auto download. Hope I am making sense here, lol. After doing this I reinstalled Novacom. This was the final thing that allowed quickInstall to see my Pre.

I had more trouble but this is the shortened version. Were you able to download the webOS Dr. using webOS QuickInstall?

I was able to Download Dr. Some of that other stuff is a little over my head though. Sorry I have not responded earlier. Any more simple things you can talk me through ? My wife just bought the new iphone today and I am jealous already ! I do love my Ipod Touch. I want to stay with Sprint, I just need to breakthrough and get my Pre to do way more than I can get it to do stock. Thanks for any future help !

@sleeptek: Nothing to be jealous about, the Pre is superior to the iPhone. Once you get Preware installed your appreciation for it should grow a bit .

Great instructions. Thanks! spent a few hours but now my phone is what I want it to be, complete with customization. I hope the update doesn't mess with the patches, but i would do it all over again in a second!

For those having USB problems, when you connect your pre in DEV mode, it takes a while for your PC to recognize and install drivers. After that you should be good!

I tried to install some homebrew apps today. It seems like my computer synced up with my phone and everything was working until I tried to check out the apps on my phone. When I click on the filecoaster icon on my phone a screen comes up that askes me to chose an option. Homebrew list or File URL Download. When I click on Homebrew list , after a few seconds it says An Error has occurrred
Exception:Failed while parsing, xml not found. Then a bunch of code. Anyone seen this?

FC has been acting funky. I would suggest going the preware route.

Wow, thinking of a pre to get and virutal keyboard in landscape? Led indicator (like my blackberry) and ROAM ONLY! Oh man, I have crap sprint signal in my building at work. Man, this makes the pre better!
