Hi,
I know the touchpad isn't an android phone, so is it possible to upgrade from CM7 to CM9 using clockwork recovery, or do I have to use the same method as I used when installing.M7. I don't mind using the original method, but I don't want to loose everything I have on WebOS. Any advice will be very welcome.
Many thanks
Ian
You can, however you have to do a full reset - format /system, /data, and /cache, then do the update. You will lose everything from the Android side, but you don't have to lose all of WebOS to do it.
Hope that helps.
Use titanium backup to backup your stuff, then once you get cm9 installed, restore. I've done it a few times successfully (so far...... :laugh
I know it's not recommended, but I've flashed CM9 and gapps over the top of CM7 and had no problems at all, didn't lose anything.
It is not recommended to flash CM9 over CM7 if you did not use ACMEInstaller2 to install Android on your Touchpad initially. If you did not use ACMEInstaller2 then you will need to install your ICS ROM just like you did when you initially installed your GB ROM, but this time with ACMEInstaller2. Personally I'd rather start fresh and uninstall Android with ACMEUninstaller and then re-install Android with ACMEInstaller2.
You can use the two guides I have links to in my signature on how to root your Touchpad if you need a refresher as well links to download the necessary files.

CM9 -> CM10 can require repartitioning, but CM10 -> CM9 is just like any other ROM flash. Backup, download the ROM and save it on the sdcard, boot into recovery, full wipe, and flash. It only affects the Android partitions; WebOS won't be affected.

Don't forget the correct gapps as well 04/29 both of which are available in the first post of the nightly thread in the developers section.
Have fun .
The full wipe/factory reset is needed to go back from cm10 to cm9. I also include formatting system but that might be overkill. Going from cm9 to cm10 doesn't require more than clearing caches. It's the downgrade that is nasty. You do need the correct Gapps for cm9. Enjoy.
i have hp touchpad 3.0.4 and android dual boot.. i want to upgrade my webos to 3.0.5 but it failed using OTA update (tried like 5 times)... last solution is webosdoctor.. question will webosdoctor erase my android? read it will erase my boot entries for android and CWM... how can i restore them if they are really deleted?
side question: what webosdoctor should i dload? 3.0.4 or 3.0.5? thx in advance
Quick question have ever installed preware on webos ? If not this will tell you how to. http://www.webosbuzz.com/hp-touchpad/633-how-install-preware-onto-hp-touchpad.html .
I would use 3.05 all versions are available here
http://en.m.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_Doctor_Versions?wasRedirected=true .
I would first use acmeuninstaller, then in webos DL and run Android uninstall from Preware as this I believe cleans up the boot folder.
Run webos doctor 3.05 to upgrade your current configuration and finally reinstall Android using acmeinstaller 3 with the latest moboot and CWM.
yup i am using preware... do i really need to uninstall and re-install android to just ugrade my webos??
I don't think webos likes Android and may by why your OTA didn't work and it's probably better to be safe rather than sorry if upgrading causes any problems .
Unless someone else knows differently .plus the uninstall /reinstall process of android shouldn't take more than 10/15 minutes .
Good luck on whatever you decide .

If I remember correctly, you only lose moboot, which is easily reinstalled. But I would follow sstar's advice. You can have a complete clean install of everything doing what he suggested, in very little time, with the latest versions of everything.
Make a backup, just in case.
ok thx! i actually webosdoctor 'ed it to 3.0.5.. lost moboot... so i reinstalled moboot via ACMEinstaller2 and restored my cm9 cwm backup.. thx guys

Try this : run acmeunistaller, then install android again using acmeinstaller3. Then restore your cwm backup.
With acmeinstaller3 your tablet will be ready for cm10 (whenever you decide to install it). It has something to do with partition sizes. Also, upgrade your cwm and moboot to the latest versions. Here's the link for the thread where you can find those files : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080977
Hi,
I have CM9 and CWM on my touchpad, I wanted to upgrade to a jelly bean rom (SCHIZOID). Can anyone help me on how to update to this rom? Not too sure myself and I don't want to mess things up...

I would do a completely clean install. Run acmeuninstaller, then in webos, run 'remove android'. I f you don't have it, download it from preware. If you don't have preware, install it using WOSQI. Then install cm10 using acmeinstaller3. As long as you're at it might as well upgrade cwm and moboot. They'll install with acmeinstaller3. Here's the link for recovery :http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/recovery
Use the 12/15 version. Here's the link for acmeuninstaller and acmeinstaller3. http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/tools
Here's the link for the gapps: http://goo.im/gapps
Use the 4/29 gapps for cm9 and the 10/11 for cm10.
There are several good how to's here and over at the webos nation forum. Just follow one and you'll be fine.
add one more thing::
backup the cm9 you have now.. my daily is cm9.
AFAIK, it will be complete when dorregaray is satisfied w/ his gyroscope..which i dont really care about acuz i dont play any of those games.
who knows when its fixed, i might play something tho.
i do have a current working cm10 installation backedup ..
there are couple things i want to see fixed before i make cm10 my daily..
I assume you can restore app data by backing up to titanium backup. I use it with my phone when changing ROMs.

I just installed CM9 using acmeinstaller 3 and moboot 0.3.5 and new cwm. Do I still need to do a clean install as described above if I want to try schizoid?
Can I just do a full erase data, /cache, and Dalvik Cache partitions.... and install schizoid zip via cwm?
This is pretty comprehensive: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31548-ho...with-sound-camera-microphone-updated-1302013/
After this, just use CWM to flash new rom.

I would recommend you to use CWM6 and moboot 0.3.8 at the very least. If you just want to check out the speed of cm10 for a little while, I would suggest using Oat's one off CM10 Christmas gift. I was mixing CM9/10 CWM5/6 boot.5/.8 and I had to webOS doctor it eventually. So be careful
Oats ROM is good because it could work even over a ACME2 instance
Hey guys. Currently using CM9 Nightly build 9/29 with Moboot 0.3.5, CWM 5.0.2.6 and I'm pretty sure I used ACMEInstaller2 to do all of this.
I wondering if I need to update moboot or cwm or repartition with acmeinstaller3. Or should I just stay on this until I decide to do a CM10 or CM11 (future) ROM. Thanks. Also, if you do suggest I update, would you mind providing either a link or just drop a few lines running through quickly? Thanks

I believe, at minimum, you may need to repartition. I was running CM9, but in preparation for newer Android releases I opted to perform a full reset back to stock WebOS, used Tailor to re-partition, then re-install Android. You can use WebOS Quick Install to install both Preware and Tailor, or just install Preware and use that to install Tailor.
I used the following software versions for my Android re-install:
ACMEInstaller3 (http://d-h.st/GMi)
moboot 0.3.8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151987)
ClockWorkMod 6.0.1.9 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2111734)
Android 4.2.2, CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies from @milaq (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290346)
I recommend reviewing the guides linked in the following index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29261108
For the partition sizes in Tailor, I searched for suggestions and went with the following custom layout for my 32GB TouchPad:
USB (media): 20,000 MiB (19.531 GiB)
Android (system): 512 MiB
Android (cache): 512 MiB
Android (data): 7,168 MiB (7 GiB)
Unused Space: None
You should read this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147284
I was in the same spot a few weeks ago. I stayed with moboot 3.5, updated cwm to 6.0xx, updated my partition to 512mb. I went with evervolv 4.3. I would have stayed with CM but for the 4.3 update they require a repartitioning of space and I did not want to do that yet. I dont use blue tooth so Im ok with that.
You can see your options from this link. Everythig else is pretty much a link off it.

Thanks everyone.
So if I just want to stay with what I have, which is CM9 with CWM 5-whatever, just keep it the way it is?
But if I want to move up I should uninstall everything, use acme3 with moboot 0.3.8 and CWM6 and then install jellybean or newer?

Is there a detriment to staying with current partition size and just using a different CWM? I heard that CWM6 fixes some sort of bug? You repartitioned, but that's because you went to a JellyBean Rom right?

This is a 3 part response.
1) If your fine with your current settings then dont do anything. Maybe flash cwm 6 at the most. Why mess with what works.
2) If you want to move up to CM 10.1 or higher then you have to flash the 512mb mod. That just takes the data partition(think that what its called) to 512 for the larger roms. Then your ok installing a 4.1 rom , just down load the rom and gapps. Boot into cwm, wipe data, cache,davlink and install the zips.
3) If you want to go to CM 4.3, then you have to also flash a second partitioning mod. This messes up your partition and you have to run another zip if you ever want to go back. Not as hard as it sounds but I didnt want to do it. The Evervolve 4.3 doesn't require the second mode. I basically kept moboot 3.5, flashed cwm6, flashed the 512mb zip. Booted to recovery and wiped everything, flashed evervolv and gapps and was good to go. I don't use bluetooth so Im good. You really have to look at the roms and see what meets your needs.
There's not much difference between 4.1,4.2 and 4.3 but I figured Id go to the latest stable for now. Sometimes Id like to go back to CM9, had the best camera for me.
Let me know if you need any help.
Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. I have a question about restoring a backup for ClockworkMod. I recently bricked my Touchpad after trying to install LuneOS, after making a careless mistake. Before then I was running a dual-boot JCsullins CM10.1 ROM and WebOS. Since I was starting again, I decided to pull the trigger on a DM build and installed jcsullins' 1125 CM11 build, this time minus WebOS. After a while I wiped the Touchpad, installed WebOS, and then LuneOS, this time successfully. Before wiping, I had made a backup of my CM11. After TP Toolbox didn't like coexisting LuneOS and WebOS partitions when reinstalling Android, I decided to wipe the Touchpad again, and this time install WebOS, then Android before LuneOS.
Anyways, here's the main problem. On my first attempt, I installed WebOS, then CM11, but when I tried to load a backup from when the Touchpad only had Android, the process ended up wiping WebOS as well. I don't want to have to redownload and reinstall my apps all over again, and as much as possible I'd like to use the backups and not have to sideload the apps. Anyways, here's my question. If I wanted to recover ONLY apps, would doing a custom restore of ONLY data bring back all the apps and leave WebOS intact?
