  • NO! You have to have a Unix or Unix-like operating system, you can use a Mac, but you can also use GNU/Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora) and there are programs for Windows that let you basically emulate a Unix shell (called GNU Bash on GNU/Linux) I believe the program is called PuTTY.

    You could just use a Ubuntu LiveCD (which runs the OS but doesn't install it).

  • Hey i just subscribe! Got couple of question for you, I just purchased a Palm pre and whanted to know if u could help me out root my palm? don't really understand how to do the process of rooting the plan, it would be helpfull if u gave me some steps and the links to download the info thanks!!

  • do u have to have a Mac to do this?

  • It is a program on all macs accessible through the finder>Applications>terminal or simply spotlight terminal

  • think of .tar as a zip file, you unzip a zip file to unload it and you untar a tar file in the same manner, I had the same problem until i figured out a trick: put it on the desktop (the NovacomINstaller) and then go into terminal and type :

    tar -xzvf desktop/NovacomInstaller.pkg.t­ar.gz

    and it should do the trick. Like i said, put the tar file on the desktop from the folder. Good luck

  • i'm confused, maybe im not doing it right but I dont know what this means

    Untar resources/NovacomInstaller.pkg­.tar.gz (tar -xzvf).

  • I believe on the mac there are system tools in your application folder. You should be able to do the same thing in windows with cygwin to make command typing easier.

  • ok how do you get the terminal to open up??

  • were do i get the pre restoring thingy that u sayd so i can root my pre! p.s i subscribed!

  • whats the whole point of the root to the palm pre??? im getting one!!!
