Just upgraded to Moboot 038 from 035 [currently using Schitzoid CM10 ROM],.
My TP defaults to WebOS on every boot !
The Moboot.default in the Boot folder is set to AOKP, [as it was prior to upgrade],. but it still persists in booting WebOS !
Anyone any ideas,.. as I cannot find a resolve anywhere
Cheers,..

I thought the schitzoid ulmage was named CyanogenMod but a could be wrong . Can you post a screenshot of your boot folder.

Selecting AOKP manually in Moboot,. runs Schitzoid !,.. I have Cyanogenmod as an option,. but this was for a previous ROM
Screenshot below >>
That's strange as I have just booted into my recovery of skitzoid and below is my screenshot and I don't have AOKP . Try setting moboot default to CyanogenMod and see what result that gives you.
PS what Rom did you have before?

Changed to CyanogenMod,.. and it still selects WebOS as default boot !,.. my previous ROM was AOKP's,. hence its retained this,. but it has been successully using this for a couple of months or so,.. i'm baffled :crying:
I have now deleted AOKP UImage from boot folder,.. made sure CyanogenMod is set as default,.. but Moboot still selects WebOS as default,. AARRGGGHHH !!
That makes 2 of us .

OK here is my final idea in webOS with preware DL an app called Cyboot run it and select Android as your default boot then save and exit.
You've nothing to lose, its what I first used before I found out about editing the boot folder.
Good luck and please let us know what happens.
Edit Just checking but the permissions for moboot default s/b rw-r--r-- just in case it somehow changed.

Hi there
new to the touchpad and moboot and such but not new to hacking etc etc
i have searched and havent seem to find anything that is related to what i did....
i have successfully got android and such on my touchpad...
now my issue is i booted back into webOS and downloaded preware and cyboot... in cyboot i set it to default to boot into android. and the time out of moboot i set to 1 sec... the issue i am having is i cannot get into moboot anymore... its there but because its set to go into android right away there is no way for me to get into recovery or moboot at all
anyone know how i can reset moboot and get the timeout back to 5 secs or longer so i can choose my boot method, ex so i can get into recovery or webOS again...
thanks in advance everyone!
I think the cyboot app in PreWare will let you change the moboot settings from within WebOS.
Not sure if the timeout is one of the settings available though.
Edit: Sorry - didn't read original post properly. Now see you have used Cyboot but can't get back into it.

correct... i cant get into moboot...
i hit reboot or power down, and it just cycles right back into android... no way for me to get into moboot... thats my issue... i need to reset it in a way so i can get back into moboot
I recall there are some posts around on how to edit the moboot settings directly in android. One option may be reinstall moboot using ACMEInstaller?

everything i have read, they say that reinstalling moboot and ACMEinstaller doesnt solve the issue
got a link to how to edit the files/settings on android?
This thread may give some pointers, but it looks like it is fairly advanced - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399566&highlight=moboot+edit
I just did a search for 'moboot edit' - that may give you some more threads to follow.
Ok got it working now!
So what i needed to do was use root explorer to delete the moboot.next file and then edited the moboot.timeout file with text editor in root explorer and reset the time from 1 to 10
did a hard reboot with the power button and home button holding for 15secs and it booted into moboot!!
woohoooooo!!!!
I decided to give the new ClassicNerd ROM a try the other night, and while I didn't enjoy the ROM that much, I decided to revert back to one of my backups.
Unfortunately, Moboot still has ClassicNerd's skin and it looks utterly disgusting and I would like to change it back to the plain old black Moboot screen.
Any ideas on how I would accomplish this?
Thank you.
Edit: I was able to install this Moboot Theme successfully and everything seems to be working. The problem I have now is that "Classicnerd" still shows up in Moboot's options. The problem is that when you select it, it goes through the boot animation but doesn't do anything, because I assume there's nothing for it to boot to.
Any idea how to remove that option from showing up in Moboot?
Edit2: Alright. I've figured out how to remove the Classicnerd option from showing up in Moboot. There were a few files inside of ../boot/. One of which was "uImage.Classicnerd" and the other was something like "moboot.classicnerd". Anyway, I deleted those two files and Moboot no longer shows the Classicnerd option in its boot menu.
HOWEVER..I now have another problem: CyanogenMod is no longer #1 on the list, so Moboot defaults to WebOS. Is there any way to change that? I shall do more research and update if I find anything.
Edit3: Figured out how to set the default boot option in Moboot.
"Open the Terminal Emulator and type:
su
mount -o remount,rw /boot"
Then I went into /boot and opened "moboot.default" in ES Note Editor and I replaced "WebOS" with "CyanogenMod". Make sure you put an enter at the end, because for whatever reason it wouldn't save it without the enter at the end.
--[Solved]--
First of all glad your using my theme
If you want to remove the classicnerd option from the menu then do :
Open terminal and type : rm /boot/uImage.ClassicNerd
Or if you have root browser go to /boot/ mount as R/W and delete the uimage.ClassicNerd
I appreciate the help.
One last question I have yet to figure out: How do I actually change the ORDER in which the items on Moboot show up? I've figured out how to change which one is default, but how do I change the actual ORDER of how they show up on Moboot?
Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure this is possible as there's no file (that i know of) that has order preferences for Moboot... Although i didn't really figure out how Moboot does that yet

if by updating binaries u mean updating SU then I tried but it didn't let me because it says I need root... WTF? I tried checking under options -> developers options and put it to root abd+apps and still nothing is happening... :/
Open the SuperUser app itself, and check your settings there. Something might be changed.
Me, I use the Prompt option, and every once in a while I have to remove an app from the accepted list and let it load itself up and prompt me again. Maybe that'll help you (I hope).

Wow. Dude. Where do I start?! Thank you!!! This has plagued my kids tablet for months. Finally, this evening, I thought I would try and do something about it. This boot loader has been causing this tablet to force close after boot for months if it was left to boot up on the 'default' Classic Nerd ROM option (after I flashed another ROM).
Finally fixed.

Isn't there a war going on practically next-door to you! I wouldn't be worried about your Touchpad...
But nevertheless, did you create a "cminstall" folder with CWM, CM9, Moboot, and GAPPs; then run the AcmeInstaller2 from the command prompt?
Perhaps you got a bad version of CWM! I would try AcmeUninstaller and do it again with a new download! :good:

Brings up a good point for posterity. Make sure you are using ACMEInstaller2, not just ACMEInstaller.
I have had a similar problem, installed CM9, ICS and moboot, didn't realise that I needed to change the Clockworkmod file name to update and didn't get CWM on my boot list.
I have, subsequently, edited the file name and re-run the installation from the novacom step, but this hasn't resolved the issue. Do I need to do a complete un-install and then try again? If so, is the ACME uninstaller the way to go and are there any instructions I need to be aware of.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that sstar, only problem is that the file is not accessible due to bandwith issues.
I also already have the tenderloin file, (cm-9-20120923-NIGHTLY-tenderloin) but when I tried running ACMEInstaller 2 again, after renaming to updte-cm-9-20120923-NIGHTLY-tenderloin, it still didn't add CWM to the boot menu - I have to admit to being a bit confused, as a noob, so not sure quite where I've gone wrong.

ok youre naming the Clockworkmod Recovery wrong. remember theres CyanogenMod nightly roms and then theres ClockworkmodRecovery. the recovery never has nightly releases.
https://www.box.com/s/9fd332052819583a251c here this is the recovery zip file you want to have in the cminstall folder when you run acmeinstaller2. do not change its name, put the whole zip file as is into the cminstall folder.

I had to hose my Touch pad, and reinstall CM9 and moboot. Now it default boots to WebOS. I would have edited moboot.default but it's not there. The path im looking in is /boot/ which has other moboot files, but neither moboot.default nor moboot.timeout are there.
I'm using X-plore for root browsing, fwiw.
Ideas?
Thanks!

i assume can still boot into android , DL an app called Rom Toolbox Pro (free version) That should show the files and allow you to edit . Or in webos DL Cyboot from preware as that will also allow you to change default boot and time out.
I hope this helps

moboot.default (note capitalization):

CyanogenMod
moboot.timeout:
Code:
5
Sorry to double post, but another thing you might want to know: I think the timeout can only be a 0-9 value. I may be incorrect, but I think that a value above 9 will be ignored.

You can set a higher value for the timeout (mine is 15). I think it's 10 that you can't use, but not sure.
Make sure you have a CR/LF (press enter) at the end of the first line of each of those files. If it's just that, no enter, it could cause problems. They like the newline in order to work.
I have a touch pad that runs cm9 more or less without issue. However I used to rum a kernel known as bricked and it boots to that build automatically, even though it isn't there anymore. How can I set moboot to automatically run cm9 stock without having to hold the buttons, reset the tab and manually select it?

In webos, in pre ware, download cyboot. You can set the order of booting, and you can even set the time to first boot using this.

like above, install Cyboot from preware in Webos.
You can set all the defaults for moboot including time out and which os to boot by default
i tried it without issues.
Or, if you're comfortable, you can edit the moboot.default file in the /boot folder.
Using a file explorer with root privileges, make sure you are in r/w mode, long press on the file and select edit/open in text editor. Change the name to your current rom, guessing it's CyanogenMod (caps matter), double check that name though, you want it to be the same as it appears on your moboot menu.
Save the changes and you're done

you also should delete the uImage.* for the the old Bricked rom that you dont have installed anymore. it will be in the /boot directory.

You have to install preware if you haven't already done so using webos quick install. ,after installing preware you will see it as an app that allows you to install lots of custom apps and tweaks..
