Looks like my attempt to restore my Profile is not possible and will have to press on with the Device Options in webOS Profile. You will be able to see 2 options: - I lost my Phone - Remove from my account - Get webOS Doctor This is for "I lost my Phone": This is for "Remove from my account": I will proceed to try "Remove from my account" since it is what I want to achieve. Tried doing this couple of times but it came back. Tried doctoring the Pre 2 and still did not work! After all this failed attempt (not able to sign-on using my original profile), I switched off the phone as I have given up hope on it as I will never be able to use the Apps Catalog.

Unfortunately, the doctoring of my Pre 2 didn't work as specified here. I have been using a non-activated Pre 2 for the last 1 week. This means that the Apps Catalog is beyond my reach. The adventure starts here, I went over to webOS Internal to grab the ROM which is officially from HP/Palm. I have downloaded the following ROM in case I need them: - webOS 2.0.0 - webOS 2.0.1 - webOS 2.1.0 What I am going to do next is to doctor it back to the original ROM which is webOS 2.0.0 first. Then will try to login once more using my webOS Profile. Hope this works and once logged in, I will then disable my Backup as I am not bother with that anymore as all my contacts and emails are already in Google Mail. As for the apps, I can always download them from HP Apps Catalog and since New Zealand is not part of the released country, I can only see free apps, so not a concern to me. The steps are exactly the same as my other blog. The Pre 2 reboot and asking for Sign-On. Unfortunately...

The TouchPad has finally made its way to New Zealand. You can get it in your local store. This pricing is for the wifi version: 16GB - NZ$799 32GB - NZ$949

First of all, went over to HP Palm Profile and sign-in using my Profile. Upon signing-in, it will show me my Profile with my handset detail: I then moved on to select "Get webOS Doctor" which leads me to Get webOS Doctor . You will need to have Java 1.5 or later. Click on "Continue" to proceed with downloading of webOS wrapper (webosdoctorp103ueuna-wr.jnlp) which in turn will download webosdoctorp103ueuna-wr.jar. I have decided to download the ROM myself through webOS-Internal . Locate your own ROM as mine is an Unlocked Pre 2 for Europe network. Make sure you are downloading the latest version which is version 2.1.0. Once downloaded webosdoctorp103ueuna-wr.jar (Pre 2.1.0 ROM for Unlocked UMTS/GSM), you will need to remove the original battery from Pre 2. If you are using a non-original battery, unfortunately, you must change it back to the original battery . I suspect that this is a precaution from HP so that those dodgy battery will not damage your Pre 2. ...

After using my Pre 2 for 7 months, upgraded from 2.0 to 2.0.1 and finally to 2.1. Somehow my Pre 2 seems to be behaving weirdly, could be due to some patches. Therefore, it is time for me to do a fresh wipe to factory-mode except I will be using 2.1 ROM. Things to take note, if you are not using an original HP/Palm battery, you will not be able to go into webOS Doctor mode. I have spent 2 hours+ with HP/Palm Support Care. At the end of the 2.5 hours session, my Profile was not able to be restored as it requires a Specialist to do so. Looks like a callback is required to solve this issue.

After deliberating on the tools - Enyo/Eclipse, PhoneGap, NetBean, I have decided to move with Enyo/Eclipse. After downloading the following, I have installed all of these via GDebi Package Installer - Oracle VirtualBox 4.0.12 (since no report of issue on this version of VB) - Oracle Java Runtime Engine 6 - Novacom Then run palm-emulator at the command-prompt, a new Virtual environment is produced. Now I am a proud owner of a virtual TouchPad. TouchPad emulator running under VirtualBox 4.0.12 with scale mode set.

Pretty awesome, Where Am I has 1,258 downloads. How I wish this is a $1 for each download. It is time to do app that will earn some dollars. You can get Where Am I from HP App Catalog
