Did you ever get an answer to this? I really want to know how to do this. Text me if you do. 602 295 1228
Well I guess its a copy paste mistake but link is not correct. Please update. I am talking about new version 1.1.2
I was able to download/install the new version. Phone has to be in dev mode.
what is dev mode and how do you put the phone is dev mode?
ok, i figured out how to get it in developer mode.... but it still says the application cannot be downloaded!!!
awsome!
how did you get it to work??????
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! I cannot download is application on my pre.... and i can't download other applications until i download this one.... when i click on "download filecoaster" from my pre it says "cannot find an application which can open this file" HOW THE HECK CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS IN ORDER TO DOWNLOAD THE OTHER APPLICATIONS? if i can't figure this out by the end of the day i'm bring this pre back and getting the blackberry tour... this phone is way too complicated for my taste. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! Michael Minei Cell#: 561-212-0360.
Please help me I don't want to get rid of this phone but if I can't figure out how to get this to work!!
Seriously? Thanks for the advice, but I'll pass on the snark. I'm a tech, and I just got my Pre. But you have to start somewhere. Now I know how to do it. Thanks again!
Seriously? You need to go to the App Catalog if you want easy install. Otherwise, check the thread on Installing Home Brew Apps: http://www.precentral.net/how-to-install-homebrew-apps
did you ever get this stuff to work ? Let me know. Jim

I have installed this using WebOS Quick Install but I always get version 1.1.1 popping up. When I orange-tap File Coaster, I don't get the "delete" option. I installed FC back when the Quick Install wasn't available and used wget via terminal...
love it!
The best way to get Homebrew Apps!
Love the app (of course)... quick question: can I download the update for Filecoaster FROM Filecoaster once it's on my device or do I need to delete it and re-install it?
same problems, let me know if you get it figured out
mixfit@gmail.com
thanks!
I don't know what is going on with my computer, but I can't get this to work. I'm @ step 4, however as soon as I hit install I get ERROR:1 Connection Refuse: connect. I hit OK and I get another message ERROR: no device found. So I hit OK one more time and it shows connecting to device and it stays there forever. Any help? I already restart my computer and reinstall novacom...
Anyone getting an error once you tap Homebrew List? I'm getting "error occurred (some code stuff) cannot get xmllist"...
@diabolick3000: When I was getting that error, I unpacked the webOSdoctor.jar (just open it with Winzip unpack it), went into the resources folder and ran the NovacomInstaller_x86.msi (_x64 if you are running a 64-bit OS). That fixed the problem for me. It sounds like you might have done that, but if not, give that a shot.
now i only get one message ERROR: Device no found. instead of 2 errors. i can see a window that says "Connecting to device..." and thats it. i cant cancel or anything stays there forever. im deff doing something wrong i just dont know what.
I was having the same problem. I have no idea why what I did worked, but I downloaded a second app and put them both in the Quick Installer. When I went back and transferred, it allowed me to transfer fielcoaster and the otehr app I downloaded.
I'd like the thank the author for making this tool. Not only does it make loading homebrew apps super-easy, it makes the testing of apps (for us developers) very convenient. Now I don't have to hook up the phone via USB. I can just download a test package via fileCoaster.
i had this workin 2weeks ago, now how do i get webos quick install to open!!!!!
can somebody help me when i try to get it to my phone it says error 1 connection refused:connect and then i hit ok and it says error no device found ive done it 4 times and it says this ive done the upupdown down thing and nothing can somebody help me my name is my email @yahoo.com

THANKS!
What a well written great app. Thanx for all the hard work.
I figured it out FINALLY!!!! If you get the DEVICE NOT FOUND it's b/c you have to restart your computer after installing WebOS Quickinstall. Then you can plug your pre in and install filecoaster.
I need help. Cant seem to download FileCoaster. Im getting this message.
Oops, it looks like we've either misplaced the page you want, or haven't created it yet.
Perhaps you're interested in one of the following alternatives?
I give you 7 stars men!.... this is a bomb ass App!
Saved me from returning my Pre to Sprint because of frustration. Thank You!

for some reason "Error: no device attached" is the only message i continue to receive , im getting frustrated , i had downloaded the WebOS Quick installer and tried to sync my phone with the whole program and like i said it continues to tell me Error: no devices attched
OK for those of you who are confused. Its quite simple. Follow the instructions. You need to use ur computer to install this to your pre. There is no way around that.
This is the application to have when downloading other applications. It's nicely written, and works!!!
I love this program... though I keep getting an error when installing files now...
Install Failed: Noe Enough Install ...
I have read in the forums on other sites that this is a number of programs loaded on pre error. (something about 80 apps loaded total limit) Upon reading this i deleted a few apps, but am still unable to download/install certain programs and updates.
Has anyone found a work around for this problem?
im getting error code
exception:failed while parsing,xml not found
im new to this some one save me
You did a very good job with this app. Do you know how many ppl are using this? You made an app that helps everyone download apps. How cool r u? Thanks!!! You have helped me and still help me. You're the best!!!

I'm having problems downloading fileCoaster
I feel as if this phone was NOT ready to be released, they didn't even have car chargers readily available, phone is not able to copy a pic, the games are horrible compared to the iPhone, & NO ONE at *any* Sprint Store knows how to use it, either! Awesome work, guys..and *THIS* is supposed to be "better than the iPhone"?? THIS is what the hype was for? More people can't figure it out than can; & with no instruction booklet & no one else even knowing what this damn thing is, can you blame 'em? I've come close to giving it to some homeless people, but that's just mean. I'd *have* to throw in some Tylenol cause this thing is a pain!!!
ive downloaded everything but when i go to click install it says device not found...HELP
I've downloaded all the files to my computer and am now trying to add the files to my PRE via the WebOS Install but am getting an error message "Error -- No Device Found" when trying to click install on the filecoaster and mynotification through the WebOS install. I have selected "USB Drive" when connecting my pre...but still see the error message "Error -- No Device Found". Can anyone help me figure this out?
I load filecoaster, but am now getting this response:
An error occured...
Exception:timeout
Last Request:{"version":"v1.14",
"feed":"Starting feed","oncreate":
"oncreate called",xmlfailed":"xml
has failed"}
Then underneath it shows the list of apps. Any idea what's wrong?
I began getting this exact same error last night.
Tried a reboot of the Pre - No Joy
It is in fact listing all of the applications, however it is appears to be displaying the raw XML data unformatted in a nice searchable package.
Hopefully there is a fix soon.
KC

its not working for me now.. :*(
Wow.. This program work wonderfully for me over the past month but as of today the program does not work anymore. Its giving me an error: Exception: Failed while parsing,xml not found? I noticed many comments recently outlining this same error. Did the recent WebOS update 1.2.1 screw things up for this program?? I delected the program and reloaded it and that did not work!

Thanks in advance
Just downloaded and installed. I'm getting the same error with the xml parsing as well.
Same error with the xml parsing for me as well. At least I see that I'm not the problem.
Help anyone! When will this get fixed?
Im getting same error - file coaster stopped working last week - wouldnt load - so i uninstalled it - and downloaded the newest version 1.1.4 and now I get the exception XML parsing error as well - I would like to find out how to resolve this please -
why does my file coaster take 23948293420 years to start up its not showing the apps?
Anyone else having an issue putting File Coaster on your phone after the newest WebOS update. My phone crashed and I had to do a hard reset (after he new update). Now I can't put FC back on. Help...
Installation went great, but does not work at all. When I start the app and select "homebrew list" the message at the bottom informs me that it found apps and then gets stuck trying to load them. I can select options for viewing and some even appear in the list but I can't touch them because they are blocked by the spinning loading wheel of eternity. Please help!
i have the same issue. it just stays on the spinning wheel and doesnt load anything.
grrrr!
Install worked, but the wheel just keeps spinning when I try to load it. Exactly the same issue as the previous 2 posts above me.
Best app yet! But Please HELP! when will I be able to download again? Why does the loading get stuck?
I know it's already been said, but It isn't working with the new version... just hoping filecoaster will receive an update soon (fingers crossed)
That's what I heard too. That's too bad. I really like FileCoaster but I think it will be a while till it is up and running. Hopefully not but in the meantime, I am using Preware to download my Apps. Here is the info: http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/preware
I downloaded everything and it worked fine but when i open filecoaster it just had the circle that spins and it wont stop loading. anyone know why?
does filecoaster usually take a while to load the apps after you first download it? I downloaded it and folled the steps like i was supposed to but im afraid it wont load ANY of the apps.
hey idk if I'm doing something wrong but the liknk is up on my screen and when I tap it a msg comes up that says
unathorized call to open an ipk....
can some plz email me & tell me what I need to do
doesn't work anymore :-(
I would love some advice on how to load novacom so I can download preware on my palm pre can anyone HELP ??????????
looks like the same issue from a week or so ago, xml parse error
EVERYONE if you have a friend who has filecoaster and its still working tell them they need to update it before it stops I think that is what happen to most of us if you go to file coaster and try and open it go to the top of your phone click on file coaster drop down menu and go to sort and go to latest and then go to latest or update and you will see file coaster and a few others that need update but we will have to wait for them to update the program for it to happen
my drop down menu does not have a 'sort' option. Am I missing something obvious?
Filecoaster v.1.1.6 but now it gives me "An error occurred... Exception:timeout" ? why is it doing this?
It was working fine with version 1.1.5.
I used preware to update to 1.1.6
Downloaded the update today. So far so good.
this application doesn't work on my phone any ore since i have updated my fun, ive tried taken the app off my phone and putting it back on but nothing works, what can i do.
Used Preware to update 1.1.4 to the newest version of fileCoaster today and everything is working fine again.
great app man love it
how come when im downloading it from WebOS Quick Install it doesnt show up on my palm pre, I download it and it still doesnt appear on my palm pre, I need help
how you did can you tell me please
how you did can you tell me please
So glad this is working again. Thanks guys!
i have the same prob, ever figure it out? text me 804-687-8192
I have v.1.1.4 and it is no longer working, no homebrew list shows, pasting urls for downloads result in Install Error every time. Do I need to delete and re-install or is there a way to update the version I have?
ok how do you do this? ???
Can I get a version update directly to the palm, or do I need to reinstall it and delete the old version. Thanks to whoever can help. The reason I ask is that when I open file coaster it says that it is loading the aps, but all it gives me is the circle loading thing, and it never finishes loading. I love having filecoaster so please help me out. Thanks again.
this is the best website ever, tell u why, because i think the future of wireless connetion i mean phones and laptops is going to be run by webos, is the faster and more logic than anything out there, it just keeps getting better and better. THANKS
I had a tech at a Sprint store tell me they would not honor any warranty if Filecoaster was installed. He tried to tell me it was the same as putting an iPhone app on an Android phone. He said it would make it a 'jailbroke' phone.
Isn't this application developed with the PalmOS's api? Does this sound correct to anyone?
Has any one found that the instructions to download filecoaster is stupid?" "Click on the box below to select the URL, copy it, and then paste into an on-device download app such as fileCoaster." Duh. Thats what Im trying to down load.
how do you download file coaster it keeps saying it cant find the file
I have had this app for a LONG time (since first version) and now since ive updated it ive only been able to view the list of apps once. When i click on it itll ask homebrew list or the URL option. I click on homebrew list and it loads, tells you how many apps it found (as of now it found 296) but then it will freeze and never get to the point of showing the actual list of apps. ive tried multiple times and most times it loads indefinitely or my phone restarts. HELP text me 804-687-8192
why doesn't anyone answer any of these questions? Obviously there are people having issues, even with the guide on here. Someone feel like being CORTEOUS and helping out?

Hi,
I downloaded the latest (v1.1.6) FileCoaster, but when I try to install, I'm getting the error msg., "Unauthorised call to open an ipk." Sound like pilot error? ..or maybbe has to do with the latest Web O.S. i downloaded last night??

Anyone else having an issue putting File Coaster on your phone after the newest WebOS (1.4)update?!?! After appl parsing nothing happens.
I am having the same problem, if you figure out what's up, please let me know.

I installed from webOS Quick Install (desktop) and I am having the same problem. Noticed it right after webOS 1.4. I've tried other programs and no problem. Shows apps loading and parsing but freezes right before they are listed.
I downloaded filecoaster but now it brings up the homebrew list and as soon as I click on it, it just freezes and goes no further - any help?????????????????????????
My Homebrew list won't open..it locates the application but it just freezes and never shows the list..please help!
I have the same problem since the update. Filecoaster loads parsing starts and Filecoaster freezes and does not finish loading. Uninstalled it reinstalled it. Did a hard and soft reset to the phone and Filecoaster still does not work. Either does the Installer application. No help or support from Palm. They gave me a link that does not help. Anyone get a solution yet to this problem.
It freezes for me too.
I'm having the exact same problem. I have the same problem since the update. Filecoaster loads parsing starts and Filecoaster freezes and does not finish loading. Can somebody help me out please?
