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 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.

As long as you can get into cwm, go ahead and flash 'install from zip'. I assume you have backups, if not, make one asap......
thanks for the replie. what do i need to back up please?

cwm will make a backup which you can then restore. I also use titanium backup. Also, read as much as you can here in the forum, it's one of the best ways to learn.
thanks,yes i reading everything and i have followed instal to the letter (from having no andriod os at all) ,however boot cyanogenmod option is not listed i get this
moboot 0.3.5
boot webOS
boot ClockworkMod
boot webOS Recovery
reboot
shutdown
and there is nothing i want to back-up at this stage unless i can bork up the webos stuff.

you might want to acmeuninstall, then do a fresh install from scratch.
Follow the instructions posted here and you should be all right.
thanks for you help, i eventually just went in cwm and manually installed, went fine and gapps did. dont know what happened on initial install but seems really cool now
thanks again

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
Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. heres my back ground. I have installed CM9 on a couple HP touchpads. My other friend who had it modded already gave me her touchpad and it is having some issues.
I can pick through the boot menu between the normal options WebOS, CM9, WebOs recovery, shutdown, restart. I can log into WebOS perfrectly fine with no problems. When ever I try to connect to my win7 laptop it will not give me the extra drive.
I have tried to log into the CM9 mod. It will go to the start up logo and stop. It will not log in any further. I have tried to re install the cm9 but I cant copy over the new file. Can someone give me some direction with this?
Getting this to a new complete new partition as if it was brand new from hp. Is ok as well. I have tried to recover and it just re does the webos partition and not the whole device.
Thanks
~Geoff.
Do you have a working recovery option in moboot? If so just download, full wipe, and flash a ROM. If you don't I would return to stock with ACMEUninstaller and reinstall with ACMEInstaller3.

I have tried the uninstaller and it doesnt like it. But I can try it again. I where do i download the ACME 3 installer? Also I cant get it to connect to my pc to copy over the flash files. unless there is a way to put it into recovery and move stuff through command prompts.

I just recently went from cm9 to cm10.1 nightly and I have camera and gallery issues. I was told this is probably the result of doing a "dirty install". So how do I do a clean install? I thought I did a clean install when I went from 9 to 10. I put the appropriate zips files in the cminstall folder, attached my touchpad to my pc in usb mode, typed the correct commands in DOS and my touchpad went through the double penguin install. Is that not considered a clean install? Am I suppose to do something with the caches? I am a little confused on what I have to do to get everything running smoothly again. If I do a clean install, do I lose my apps? Any help would be appreciated.
So I think I just backup using nandroid, use the uninstaller, reinstall 10.1, then load my backup. Does that sound right? Will that keep my apps and settings?
Anybody? I am about ready to do this but want to make sure I still have my apps with their current settings.
Well, I did a complete unistall using acmeuninstaller then re-installed 10.1. I was stuck in the boot loop. Couldn't get it to work so I went back to my nandroid backup of 10.1 that has some problems (reason why I tried a re-install). I was thinking of going back to cm9 but I don't want to lose my apps and settings. What should I try next?

you could use cwm to restore you apps.
