HP Touchpad Screen Stuck While Installing CM9 - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to install cm9 on my touchpad and I followed this tutorial: http://www.webosnation.com/how-install-cyanogenmod-9-android-your-touchpad?page=1
I have a problem, I followed each step and everything went great till the double penguins came up. The first time I tried this, the touchpad rebooted itself to WebOS, so I shut it down, hold the power button and volume up button, and I proceeded the whole "cmd" part for the second time. The double penguins appeared and I realised it stopped. I looked and it wrote that the cm9 filename was wrong...it had to begin with update-cm . So I waited for the device to reboot again so that I could change the name of the zip file, however the screen is stuck. There is a black screen and a lot of text. Everytime I push a button, there is a writing on it.
For example, when I push the volume up buttong this comes up:
^[[4~[ 2432.551116] gpio-keys: volume up button pressed
[ 2432.701070] gpio-keys: volume up button released
I tried to reboot it but the device does not shut down. It is stuck, and everytime I push a button, it just writes that I pressed and released the button.
I tried to download WebOS Doctor, but I cannot find a valid download link, and I do not think this will help, because I cannot shut down the device!
HELP!!

Have you tried pushing power and home buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds to hard reboot the device? that may help you go back to web OS and redo the cm9 flash process again...you may have done something wrong and that's why is not installing properly...good luck!
btw...here is a link to install cm9 on the tp....IMO the best guide out there with files and links to everything...http://liliputing.com/2012/01/how-to-install-android-4-0-on-the-hp-touchpad-cyanogenmod-9-alpha.html

You will be fine. If nothing else the tp will die, then you can recharge and doctor back to stock. But like rhidalgo said you should be able to force shutdown. Although I always hold vol up, home, and power for 15 sec. But your not bricked so don't worry too much
Edit. I would just try cm again before you webdoc. That's kind of a hassle, and it sounds like the tp is just in some diag mode or something.

Cant get in to bootloader/recovery

As it says on the title, I have just rooted went fine then I just installed ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X went to go in to recovery powering on and holding the Vol down button and a scrren comes up saying
S/W UPGRADE
PLEASE WAIT WHILE UPGRADING....
then nothing happens tried it a couple of time with no joy, having to remove battery to restart, and also it wiped my phone back to stock all my apps etc gone wifi setting etc but the root/superuser is still there
Any idea people????
That is the baseband upgrade screen. You should HOLD power and volume down button!
If that doesn't work are you sure CWM is installed correctly?

I had this exact same problem as well. It led me to be very confused for a good half hour lol. Simple answer is we weren't booting into recovery properly.
1. Turn the phone off.
2. Hold the volume down button and do not let go.
3. Hold the power button and do not let go.
4. Wait and wait and wait.
5. Should see a small piece of text saying "Android" come up after about 10 seconds-ish.
6. As soon as you see this text let go of the power and volume down buttons.
7. You should now be in recovery.
Hope this helped
Edit: Also I don't think the .bat file used to install CWM recovery gives any confirmation after it's done.

Yeah well i ran the CWM again a couple of times then tried again and it worked great thanks every 1
I just think im impatient as going into CWM on the desire a little bit quicker
Once again THANKS
Had the same problem at first too.
Desire is not as "slow" as the 2X when booting to recovery.
Got myself a factory reset the first time I tried...
Yup exactly, the O2X seems to take much longer than other phones to boot into recovery. I used to have a HTC Hero and it literally took a press of two buttons and then wait a few seconds. Strange...

[Q] HELP - I think I have killed my Touchpad

I am hoping someone can assist me. I have had Android loaded for over 2 years now, and I somehow may have killed it yesterday. Here is what happened. Please help me revive my favorite tablet.
I was going to load Jelly Bean 4.3 and saw in that for most of the ROMs, it recommended to increase system partition to 512 and provided a link. I downloaded the zip file.
I have TWRP, so booted to TWRP and then performed a Factory Reset Wipe, which deletes everything, and is what I do always before a clean install of a new Android version.
I installed the "File to increase partition size to 512".
The next step was to install the ROM, but when I clicked install in TWRP (it is an install program that has some touch capabilities), TWRP just looked back to the home screen, and I go the message:
"No system found". or something similar.
It was in a loop, so I decided to click Reboot to see if I could boot back in to WebOS or my last Jelly Bean version.
When I clicked reboot in TWRP, it said rebooting at the top, but the progress bar didn't move for 15 minutes.
While this was happening, I could not click anything in TWRP, when I touched the Power key, it when to a screen that did nothing, other than let me back to the previous screen if I swiped it, like a confirmation message. It just took me back to the screen where it was locked.
I figured I was well on the way to trouble, so I decided to hard shut down while it was in this state.
I pushed Home, Power, and Volume Up/Down keys until it flickered and the power went off.
Now, I cannot get it to show any life.
I plugged it in and charged it, but still not response.
Can I get it to connect as a USB even though it is unresponsive? Maybe to start over with WebOS Doctor?
Or, is there something else to try?
Please help me, XDA Dev community. I will try anything.
Thank you in advance for your help.
did you find fix

I have the same Prob .it will not start did you find a fix? if so could pass it on thanks
Found Fix
I ended up visiting the tpdebrick-v004 thread on rootzwiki. I booted my PC to LINUX 12.04 Live CD and applied the fix. I also ended up charging it for 2 days and it finally powered on. I then did a WebOS Doctor - plenty of instructions on how to do this. Then I used ACMEUninstaller2 to fully remove all Android. Then, I installed the latest CM10.1 with ACMEInstaller5, which automatically increases the partition to 600MB. Took 2 days off and on to do all of this but it worked.
The first step is to charge the battery for 1 full day, then press Power+Home to try to reset. If that doesn't work, try to push Power only, and boot into WebOS if you get this option. From there, you will be ready to start restoring.
If your problem is something other than what I have, the solution that fixes 95% of TP brick problems is tpdebrick-v004 by JCSullins. That should fix you.
Thanks
a fix for hp

this worked for my tp good luck
1. Plug the charger in and connect it to your touchpad.
2. Press and hold home+power together for 1 minute. If no response, release, then hold both for 1 minute again.
3. If 2 does not work, keep the charger connected, release the buttons (2) then press and hold home+power+volume up together for 1 minute. Release, then press and hold home+power for 1 minute.

If that didn't work, try pressing the power and Up volume button at the same time. This should show the usb logo. Use WebOs Doctor to revive the tablet. This will wack moboot. Use ACMEInstaller 5 on the pc to install moboot (0.3.8), CWM or TWRP zips from the webos /cminstall folder.

Help - Stuck in moboot 0.3.5!

Sorry for the possibly FAQ nature of the request. I installed CM9 probably over 18mos on my daughter's Touchpad and was going to update it to JCSullins CM11 ROM. I got all the files downloaded and was getting ready to perform the complete uninstall of CM. Once I rebooted into the moboot 0.3.5 menu I was trying to select the 'boot webOS recovery' option, but no combination of power button + vol up or down seems to do anything except move the menu selection up/down. I can't seem to do anything to actually 'select' an option from the menu. I've tried long press power and short press power both with and without the vol up/down held. I'm hoping I can avoid having to open the unit to disconnect the battery but right now I'm not sure what I can do. Again it's been a long time since I did anything with the Touchpad and when I did the initial CM9 install everything went very smoothly once I got Novacom installed and ran the ACMEInstaller script. I'm hoping there's a simple trick I missed that will help get me out of the moboot screen.
-OK - sorry for the idiot post here, I just figured out the select is the 'front' button on the screen. Feel stupid but got it working! Hopefully I'll have the new CM11 up and running for my daughter tomorrow !

45 minutes still no boot.

Wiped data cache AND dalvik, flashed to Malladus, installed GApps and LGApps at the same time. Been sitting at the android animation for at least 45 minutes all three times and still wont boot. I'm downloading stock image but was hoping someone had an experience similar and had an easy solution?

And now I offically think my phone is screwed. I cant boot into recovery, every time I try it wont enter and just reboots because I'm holding the power and volume down buttons. So far I don't think I can enter download mode either.

How to get into TWRP with hardware keys on G2
1. Make sure phone is completely powered down.
2. Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.
3. When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.
4. Release both buttons when the Factory Hard Reset screen displays.
5. Press the power button three times, like it says. Even though it says it will delete everything, it won't (I can confirm that if you are at least on v2.6.3.2).
6. After a "factory reset processing" appears, you should get the TWRP flash screen, and you are good to go.

Thanks for replying. I've read how to get into the recovery menu many times. Something is wrong with my phone that prevents me from doing it. I'm assuming its hardware related. I was almost ready to give up yesterday when I found out that if I do the key combo while plugging it into USB, it enters the menu normally. At that point I was able to restore my backup and start again.
I think my phone has a fluke, but I've figured out a way around it.
For those who are using Malladus on Verizon, something was wrong with the radios in the set. I had to find a seperate KK baseband file for the VS980 and flash it over top of the ROM to get it to work. I'm not saying its the same results for everyone, but I tried every variant of his directions (just in case) and was unable to get LTE online. It was the seperate BB file later on that fixed it.

Mi A2 won't do anything other than fastboot

Hi there.
I've had a Mi A2 for a few month (January) and really like it. It's been great up til yesterday, when I tried to get it out my pocket and was greeted with a recovery-mode looking menu, telling me it couldn't boot and that files might be corrupt, etc. I had the option to either factory reset or try to reboot (shown with Try Again). I kept trying the Try Again option, and it eventually politely told me to f*ck off, and decided to just boot to the Android One splash screen. I'm able to get into Fastboot, but when I open cmd on my PC and try to use Fastboot, it'll say permission denied for most things other than a reboot, and ADB just won't recognise the phone - USB Debugging was never enabled. I've tried the volume up and power button, and it just reboots the phone again and again.
Help!
Thanks in advance.

Mi A2 start you off with the plan Jane stock Android recovery.
Now you need to press and hold both the Power and Volume Up buttons at the same time
You’ll feel a vibrate when you first press these two buttons, but keep holding them
You can let go of the Power button once you see the Android One logo
However, you need to keep holding the Volume Up button
After the Android One logo screen, you will be taken to the stock Android Recovery splash screen
Once you see this little green Android then you can let go of the Volume Up button
This is only a splash screen though and we need to bypass it with a combination of buttons
You won’t see this screen if you have a custom recovery like TWRP installed
At this splash screen press the Power button and then press the Volume Up button immediately afterward
This step can be tricky and sometimes it just boils down to luck.
it will take you just 10 tries until U got passed it... PP (kidding)
After you have bypassed the stock Android Recovery then you’ll be taken directly to the menu screen.
Good Luck .
