How to root is shown here. http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux I'll make a video later to show step by step what to do. Search around this website and you can see other things that can be done by accessing the Linux component on the Palm Pre
Also check out Precentral.net for Homebrew apps (homemade custom apps) along with answers to all of your Palm Pre questions
Feel free to ask any questions and I will try to answer them in my next video :)
Will show in next video how to add text and email forwarding, change phone app background, add pages for launcher, and how to get rid of the Nascar app

  • im having a bit of a problem.. sometimes when i try to access my putty i will get an "access denied" message. any idea what that means?

  • ussually means your pre is in sleep mode and the screen is black

  • hey, i really need some help, i am on a mac trying to root my pre, but it won't work!

    'I downloaded the WebOS Image, untared it, installed novacom, put my phone into devmode, and ran the cd /opt/nova/bin command that works, but the ./novaterm command says no such command or something like that i need help any ideas

  • my demo is for pc. you must go to the mac link and follow those steps

  • does this unlock it

  • @pingoo88 it opens the root file of your phone where all of the system files are stored

  • heyy, what does rooting actually mean, and what do i used it for?! does it not damage the phone itself or create any problems?! thanks

  • don´t believe, everybody that programs one, has the droit for put a price

  • Oh ok thanks,

    But its still in Beta wow

  • and some will be paid apps.

  • Sorry i was misleading. At this time all apps are free. The app store is still in beta, in about a week the new app store will be released along with a BUNCH of apps.

  • OMG really :(

    I feel like a fail for getting the Iphone 3G now :( so apps are always going to be free?
