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.

The Palm Pre has only been out for less than a week now and already things are starting to get torn apart. This morning it was discovered that you can get into the Dev mode on the Pre by entering the “Konami code”. For those of you that don’t know what the Konami code is, it’s the code that was used in early Konami Nintendo games that would usually get you 30 free lives in a game. I think it was most notible for working in Contra, but I know it also worked in games like Life Force and others. In order to access this dev mode you need to enter this code at the launcher screen on the Pre, the code is “upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart” this will then launch the Developer Mode Enabler app. I’m not sure exactly what this will allow you to do, but it seems to be one of the first things that was discovered in a leaked ROM that contained a root image of the webOS. So hopefully with these new leaks we will start to see more things happening in the homebrew Pre scene.
