Unofficial Palm webOS Repair Utility Released
Jason Robitaille has done it again. Not content with pumping out user-friendly desktop installers and theme builders, the prolific Canuck has released another slice of delicious cross-platform cake software: the WebOS Repair Utility. The new Java app is intended as an aid to webOS tinkerers who have modified their devices, allowing you to scan the files on your hacked webOS device and compare them to the pristine versions contained within the official webOS Doctor.
By comparing md5sums for the files, the Repair Utility will detect modifications and provide you with an option to either restore the original version or ignore the discrepancy. Perfect for those who want to reverse some small mod without going to the trouble of completely re-flashing their hardware. Two caveats: it only works with webOS version 1.1, and can take over 30mins to complete a full scan. That said, it should prove a nice complement to the arsenal of weapons that webOS hackers already have access to.
