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.

[Q] SD Card Removed???

Ok, so I went from Classicnerd to CM9 Alpha 2 to the CM9 Unofficial Nightlies and I am having an issue with the latest update. It seems that when I upgrade to either the CM9 Official Nightly or the most recent Unofficial Nightly, I am getting an SD Card Removed error. It seems to be linked to the upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4. All the apps that have been moved to my SD Card partition are not accessible. Anyone know why? I haven't wiped completely, because I am happy on 4.0.3, but I just wanted to see if there is an answer for this?

It sounds like something got corrupted. If you have a good backup, restore it, then wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly. That should do it. If you don't have a good backup, try wipe delete factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly. You'll have to restore your data, but that's what you get for not having a nandroid.........
Good luck.
Edit : Rereading your post, I think you'll have to do a clean install of cm9. ClassicNerd uses different source. If you have a good backup, you can try advanced restore > restore data, or Titanium.
Yes, he's right.
When going from one release to the next in the same style of series (Alpha2 => Nightlies => more nightlies), you can get away with just a wipe of the /cache and the Dalvik cache. If you go from CN => Nightlies or Nightlies => CM, or any other combo that isn't the same series, you are best set to do a full backup, then a full wipe and start fresh. You can try an Advanced Restore, but be aware it might not work.
I too am having the same problem... it first occurred with the upgrade to 4.0.4. I wiped every thing restored cm9 backup and wen I'm instcalling apps and moving them to sdcard after about five apps my sdcard is removed and will not mount. So I reverted to cm7 (got to have headphone jack) and after moving some apps the samething occured again...

Since we are talking about wiping, I would just like to chime in and ask how that is done on the TouchPad. The only other Android device I have ever owned is my Droid X2 that I use now. And when I want to wipe that, Motorola has a method of doing it to where it sets you back to stock factory settings with a file they provide. Since the TouchPad isn't an official Android device and all, what do you use to wipe it and start over? A link to a thread that explains it would be helpful. I'm sure there is one. I will look.
for an answer to the OP i found this on rootzwiki....dunno if ok to post link but ima do it anyways...remove if frowned upon:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13277-cm7-fixes-for-sdcard-issues/
to fix my sdcard issues i AMCEUninstalled android and did a clean install of the latest moboot, gapps, clockworkmod, and cm9 A2. As for fixing the sdcard issue it also fixed alot of other things....no more Google maps constantly opening and wat not....much more stable.

Use ClockworkMod to wipe data/factory reset

Installing CM9 from CM7

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.

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

[Q] HPTP Flashing CM 10 and 10.1 after running ACMEUinstaller

I have done all the reading and want to be sure I am understanding correctly.
My first install was CM9 which works great.
After using ACMEUninstaller I have on different occasions installed CM 10 and 10.1 using ACMEInstaller3.. Had issues both times so I reverted to my CM9 nandroid backup, can't say enough about how important that is.
My Question: Can I now safely FLASH CM10 and CM10.1 and gapps and not have to do the pc/tp transfer process?
Thanks for your assistance!
What issues did you have with the 10 and 10.1 flash? Is there a reason you're using acme instead of recovery to flash?

Yeah, you can try flashing with recovery. Make sure you full wipe.

[ROM GUIDE] How to install Android 4.2 and 4.3 Builds on the HP TouchPad

Do I need to update Moboot/CWM/ACME?

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.
