        I found it you have to use WebOSdoctor and install Preware after get on Preware and use the Proxy switch application.

        And or use the transparent mode that works also in Squid.

        After you can install Doom again on your Palm Pre

        That little phone was so expensive, it was like a car payment for it every month to use it with Verizon when it was brand new.

        Glad I could get my system running and see my old photos.

        HP when they purchased the company sent down an update and it basically killed (Bricked) the phones the systems no longer responded, you would go to reset it and your keyboard stopped, This was non rooted standard update. After you could not log into your profile, it was sad.

        My wife's hers would log on and her Pixi got the backup corrupted lost everything after that update when I went to redownload it.

        I thought just save the phone and in 10 years when everyone stops caring about the Pre someone will release the recovery tools and they did just that!!!

        Just do the bypass section and log in again to it get the photos off.

                @Myworld555 it was the best phone ever. Now I miss it again. I just recycled it. I was able to get my photos off, that is all I wanted. My network settings only showed WiFi info that’s it, mine was the pre plus wife’s the pixie. I hope HP brings it back one day, that phone had everything, wireless changing, WiFi, swappable multi card windows, apps, google maps. It was expensive to have them over $250 a month back in the day, I hate Verizon. When HP pulled that whole update thing and broke our phones I was pissed off for months. They even corrupted my wife’s profile, they even had cloud backup.

                I had the Palm IIX, Tungsten, Treo 750, Centro, and finally the PRE.

                The Treo was cool too.

                I had every single blackberry from the RIM black and white one to the metal one too.

                Palm Pre was the best, I could not believe HP got away with phone killing updates, well it seemed that’s what they did to them.
