Okay - so Im basically having this issue:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/39863-bootloop-help/
Except that WebOS Doctor stalls and says it cant fix my problem. When it reboots it, it just takes me back to Moboot, and I can select something. If i pick recovery, it goes in then gets to 8% and fails.
I can rerun the Acmeinstaller, or uninstaller, but it starts to scroll the script and the screen goes blue. Locks up, then reboots eventually.
Everything WAS working fine until the battery died. Its got a charge now. It powers on instantly when I plug it in. I turn it off and leave it plugged into the wall for days. No change. Sat it on the touchstone for days. No change. Tried many different USB cables. Same thing. My computer recognizes it when I plug it in & I can run basic commands from terminal/command prompt. Ive tried a PC (win 7 x64) and a Macbook Pro (Lion)
Im at a loss for what to do now. Ive googled and searched the forums but I dont think Im using the right search criteria. Any help is appreciated.
I cannot boot to WebOS, it goes to a dark screen then eventually reboots after a few minutes.
I cannot boot cyanogenmod, it goes to a dark screen then eventually reboots after a few minutes.
I cannot boot to Clockwork recovery, it just reboots.
I can boot to WebOS Recovery.

Give this guide a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244
If you have problems with novaterm, there is a work around on page 12.
Make sure you have a full charge, you don't want to run out of power while doing the procedure.
Good luck.

Ok, so I just flashed the alexura (sp) rom, it worked fine, after a while I went into recovery to activate a lagfix and the BLN, goes through the reboot with backup and restore option, and hangs at creating /data, so I pull battery, do it again, and it takes forever at the creating /data part again but finally goes through and reboots.
Now when it reboots it scrolls a bunch of stuff, and see several failed and invalid arguments and then it shuts off and reboots to the same thing, over and over.
I pulled the battery and tried to load recovery and it won't enter it, it just keeps doing the same thing over and over, plugged it in computer and it wont recognize it?
Um, HELP?!? Any ideas?
WOOO HOOOO, I got it into downloader mode! I didnt think to try that.
Well back to stock and to try again.
Hi all, I'm having some serious booting issues on my touchpad running CM7. I always seem to get this error when I start it up:
Selected: 'boot CyanogenMod'
Loading '/boot/uImage.CyanogenMod'...OK
Checking uImage...Invalid Data CRC
BOOT FAILED!
Press SELECT to continue
, or on anything else I want to boot.
Then I have to do a power + home button restart a whole bunch of times before it successfully boots into webOS/CM7. This is a procedure I have to go through every time I turn on this device, so you can imagine it takes me anywhere from 5-10 minutes to finally get into the home screen.
I do however can see this coming, on that initial moboot screen, there is a dashed green line that randomly appears at times; this is an indication that the boot will fail. Also sometimes it goes through to booting android, but then boot loops back to moboot then displays that message again that I mentioned above.
To fix this I've been trying to avoid a full re-installation of CM7 but I've wiped the cache many times and did a full wipe back when this problem started.
Any suggestions for a fix? Thanks.

When you wiped the cache, did you get the dalvik, too?
Yes I wiped the dalvik as well, but all that does is make the initial boot longer (when I manage to get it to successfully boot that is).
Did you try to reinstall/re flash CM7? You don't lose anything by doing that, and you could do it right from Clockwork recovery. Maybe something got messed up in the installation and reinstalling it would fix it.
Will give it a shot and let you guys know. Thanks for the input. Also one more question, do you guys go through the same thing at all? Or are all your initial boots successful straight to the home screen like any other Android device. Thanks again.

Sounds like you either have corruption on /boot filesystem or faulty
hardware.
I would try running webOS doctor and then re-installing moboot/CM/etc.
with ACMEInstaller. This should not require a reinstall of apps, etc.
If you still have the same after that, then you probably have some bad
hardware.
Ok so I did the suggestion of jcsullins. Did webOS doctor with latest version (3.0.5) and re-installed moboot. A funny thing happened though, after the installation of moboot, the cyanogen and clockwork settings did not show up on the moboot menu, only the webos, recovery for it, shutdown and reboot. This was fixed with another re-installation of moboot. Long story short, everything seems to be fixed, my data and settings are in tact, and I just turned it off and on (not reboot) 6 times now with each initial boot being successful. Just posting this to thank you guys and for anyone else in the future that may have this problem. Thanks again!
same problem with moboot disappearing after the update. ive reinstalled moboot three times and still cant get the menu to display the cyanogen or clockwork options.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
edit: ended up adding moboot, the original CWM, and the latest XRON build and running ACME Installer and all is well. Just cant install preware to the touchpad since i used webdoctor to install the latest update.

Just reroot webOS and re-install preware.
A week ago I installed TWRP on my Hp Touchpad, via the GooManager App.
After I rebooted into TWRP it showed a error message. I cant remember what it said. First I just let it broken, but then I wanted to update SlickleROM from Version 1 to 1.1. But i couldnt use the Recovery System, because it didnt work.
So I tried to install the Clockworkmod Recovery and the new ROM with ACMEInstaller2 and ACMEInstaller3, but ACMEInstaller3 did nothing, it just showed the HP logo. ACMEInstaller2 showed a Error Message, that /boot is out of space. So i decided to reset my Touchpad.
First I used ACMEUninstaller to uninstall Android. Then i used WebosDoctor to remove all data, but it said it couldn't reset my phone after a few minutes. My Touchpad could'nt boot. It just shutdown everytime it was booting. I stopped the endless rebooting with holding Power Button and Pressing Home Button 10 Times. After that I tried to doctor serval times with older versions and tried to find out what was happening. But then the battery was too low. WebosDoctor could charge it and in the outlet it just charged until it was booting again, so i could charge enough to doctor the device. Now I have a not booting Touchpad with a too low battery to doctor.
I already tried to restore it to factory condition with this guide. But the WebosDoctor didnt work
Does anyone know what I can try to do?

Try leaving the tp charging, at least overnight, till it's 100% charged. Then try the guide again. If you're having trouble with novaterm, there's a good work around on page 12.
If you're having trouble with the doctor, either the 8% or the 12%, do a search for either. Don't worry, there's a workaround. Also search the webos nation forum, you'll find answers there also.
Good luck.
Edit : use cwm. Myself and several others here have had problems with TWRP.
Here's the link for cwm : http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/recovery
Use the 12/15 one.
AW: [Q] HP Touchpad no longer booting.
I already that, but it only charges until it tries to boot.
Are you using the cable that came with the TP?
AW: [Q] HP Touchpad no longer booting.
Yes.
AW: [Q] HP Touchpad no longer booting.
The problem is, that it tries to boot, but it can't boot.
Have you tried to power it down whilst still plugged in ?

What I mean is you have your TP charging and it automatically boots when it has sufficient charge, while leaving still connected to the charger have /can you turn it off but leave it connected?
AW: [Q] HP Touchpad no longer booting.
I will try it now.
AW: [Q] HP Touchpad no longer booting.
I just tried it, but it instantly reboots after turning it off.
It's obviously stuck in some sort of loop, my final thought is to hold both power and volume to put it into recovery and leave it so that it hopefully continues to charge .
You said you had a problem with running chicle's suggestion with the restore your TP to factory condition, how far did you get ?
AW: [Q] HP Touchpad no longer booting.
I alreqdy tried to charge it in recovery mode, but the battery didn't charge either. I tried to reset it with serval versions of the webosdoctor, but as I said it didn't work. It just said it couln't reset the phone. In the console/log it crashed at charging. And it list connection.
When you say ' I already tried to restore it to factory condition with this guide. But the WebosDoctor didnt work "
Does that mean you were able to run all the instructions in command prompt and then failed with webos doctor 3.0.0 ?

Well I'm at a loss ,if or when you can try the factory restore commands followed by webos Doctor 3.0.0 again. I had to do it twice with mine.
That's all i can think of. Good luck.

Now I finally got it working. I just charged it in Recovery Mode for a long time. Then I just used Webosdoctor and now it works!

So I downloaded all the files that I need and start with a fully charged touchpad. I currently am running an older version of android on it with webos, but decided since I have not used webos in over 2 years, why not wipe it clean, install a new version of android and just leave off webos.
Now with everything in place, I connect the touchpad in recovery mode, start touchpad toolbox, i see the commands scroll on the touchpad screen for maybe 1 or 2 seconds and it then just reboots itself. Am I missing something or is this just not working?
I even thought maybe I was running low on storage and did a factory reset of android to wipe everything that was installed off with no luck.
I just want to wipe this clean and do a fresh install of kitkat or whatever. dont need anything else on it, dont even need the multiboot. Any recommendations out there?????

I have heard no reports of what you describe.
I suggest using TPToolbox v41 from here (download link in that post):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54986968&postcount=293
and try again.
If it does it again, I will need to see a kernel log file to help diagnose what's happening.
To get that, following the instructions on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53258228&postcount=10
but replace steps 1-3 with:
1) Load Touchpad Toolbox
2) Start holding the Volume Up button
3) Continue to hold VolUP until you see the big USB symbol (i.e. webOS recovery)
Errgghh
Downloaded but not sure what is going on. I think the problem my be with something being overwritten during one of the first attempts. With the USB logo displayed, I connect it to the PC. The minute it starts to transfer, it resets and I see the hp logo and then the boot screen. At this point it is stuck in a rebooting loop for several times. I even just tried webos doctor and it starts at 1% and as soon as it hits 2% it reboots the same way.
Also will not mount as a USB drive on the PC. Just as a palm noobie or something so I can not access anything on the device manually.
While I have not experience your issue I have had other issues that were resolved by changing to a different USB cable. Might be worth a try.

Having the same issue. From USB to HP logo, then 1.5 seconds of text and then reboot. Tried V41 and V42 and tried multiple USB cables.
Hi, I need some help
I have a 32G touchpad and I let it totally discharge.
Now the unit does not boot past the big USB sign.
I do not mind losing the info on it, there wasn't anything really important.
I am using the Novacom Repair Android Tool.
I did the C/Boot and the Wipe All and it always came back to the USB sign.
Finally, I decided to try "Toolbox" (the one on the left) and finally I could get past the USB sign into Touchpad Toolbox.
I tried installing Android again, loaded the ROM, Gapp and Recovery
and when it had to reboot to finish installing android it went into the USB sign again.
Right now I executed again ToolBox.
Battery reads at 12% now
I want to think that the installation failed due to to the low battery, although it has been the whole time sitting on the wireless stand (Battery should have been around 3 to 4% when I tried the intall).
My plan right now is to let it charge to 100%, it seems to be rapid charging now that it is on the Touchpad Toolbox menu, instead of trickle charging.
If I try again to install, with a full charge, and It goes back to the USB sign, what can I do? Could it be a stuck volume up button and I would have to dissasemble (I'd rather not). What else could I try to recover the Touchpad?
Thanks
HI.
Still stuck.
Touchpad Toolbox reports 100% charge on the Touchpad.
1. Verified Android install files are on ttinstall subdirectory. Executed Install. Upon reboot, I was sent to the USB sign.
2. Applied ToolBox and regained the Toolbox on the Touchpad
3. Reflashed A6 Firmware. Upon reboot, I was sent back to USB sign
Do not know what else to try!
Still stuck
ran the Complete Data Reset of the Toolbox menu and ran WebosDoctor
WebosDoctor ran well without problem but upon boot it went back to the USB sign.
What can I do?
still stuck
Downloaded Flintsmant recovery
unzipped it
ran the novacom driver (linux system)
connected the touchpad to the usb port
issued "novacom boot mem://<uImage.Recovery"
The touchpad booted in recovery mode, installed the android and gapp that were in ttinstall and when it rebooted it went into the USB sign.
Could be a worn/stuck volume up button? I t seems to work normally when running tptoolbox.
Am I going to have to open up (gasp!) the touchpad?
Really need advice here
