Another interesting bit of news from yesterday, a guy over at Daring Fireball has found a way to re-flash the firmware on the Pre to whatever you want. He was able to pull out the activation checks as well as enable a root shell. This is pretty huge and will probably lead to a lot of things happening in the world of Palm Pre firmwares. You can think of it like the Jailbreak for the Pre and it’s as simple as holding the volume up button when you plug the phone into the USB, after that’s done you are free to use Palm’s firmware flashers to flash whatever firmware you want to the phone.
