[Q] Android side of my Touchpad won"t boot. - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been running first CM9 then CM10 (jcsullins) for about 18 months with no problem. For some reason I can't fathom, the Android side stopped booting. I've tried wiping and reflashing through TWRP as well as restoring a nandroid backup (through TWRP) but no joy. I've also done a reinstall through ACMEInstaller as well as an ACMEUninstall followed by a fresh ACMEInstall. Nothing has worked so far.
A couple of nights ago i'd been using it but at bedtime I just shut it down. I didn'.t put it on the touchstone as it was already fully charged. In the morning it wouldn't boot until I pressed the on/off and home buttons together. I could and still can, boot into WebOS. I suspect there is some file or folder is corrupt but have no idea how to find and fix it. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you have a full charge, then try this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244
If you have problems with novaterm, there is a workaround on page 12.
Try using cwm instead of TWRP. Several (myself included) have had problems with it.
Also, when you reinstall android, use acmeinstaller3. It gives you more space for the Rom.
Good luck.

That for the suggestions. I'll try them and post back. BTW, all the install attempts were with ACMEInstaller3. I even tried to restore a previous TWRP backup. That didn't work either.

touchpad android running, cant reboot

My wife's (yes, ugh, support duty here) HP touchpad (android 4.2.2)

cyanogenmod v 10.1.20130808-EXPERIMENTAL -tenderloin-bluetooth_test
OK. here's the problem
according to status screen, this durn machine has been up for (and I bet this is part of the problem)
503 hours, 27 mins , and 55 seconds.
lets see 503/24= almost 21 days since last boot.
All is working fine in android (except like all machines, it is starting to get sluggish.
think this is a 16 gb system, not a 32 gb.
any ideas???

You might want to upgrade to acmeinstaller 4 or 5; 5 works great for me.

If rebooting doesn't help then install and use the Clean Master app from the app store. It may help you clean up some memory.
If webos is slow then delete everything in LOST.DIR. This is the recycle bin.

[Q] Liberty and Safestrap

Being the noob I am, I can't post this question in the dev forum. Does anyone know if Liberty is compatible with safestrap or not? I know the official instructions says CWM only, but I have read that many install using safetstrap without any problems.
That said, I for the life of me can't get it to boot after install. Are there any special tricks to get it to work with safestrap? Being a noob to Android (this D3 is my first foray into Android), I would like to stick with safestrap until I am very comfortable since it is rather idiot-proof. Thanks!

The thread at RootzWiki in the dev section for Droid3 is very helpful.
Some of the things to double check:
- Make sure you're swapping to "safe mode" before flashing the .zip
- Wipe data/cache
It works fine with safestrap
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
I have been switching to safe mode, clearing data/cache, rebooting, installing the ROM zip (with no apparent errors), clearing data/cache again, and then trying to boot the ROM, but it just hangs on a blank screen for >20 minutes before I pull the battery. Tried this a few times, even redownloading the zip, but its always the same.
Steel Droid and Maverick have worked fine, but just can't seem to get Liberty to work. I have reviewed and seacrhed the forums, inluding rootwiki, hoping there was some special trick that needed to be done with this specific ROM, but have found nothing.
Maybe I will try installing an older Liberty ROM to see if that works' and also maybe reinstalling safestrap, maybe even rerooting.
Any ideas?

I flashed Liberty 2.0 with Safestrap, two days ago. First reboot after flashing led to the phone hanging on the spinning eagle boot-up animation. I booted into recovery, wiped data, formatted, and re-flashed, and it worked fine during that boot-up. However, boot-up times are strange, and there's usually a blank black screen when booting up for about 10-15 seconds for me prior to the boot animation showing up.
On a side note, my battery life with Liberty 2.0 is horrendous. Phone Idle = 36%, Cell Standy = 39%, Android OS = 3%, Wifi = 2%. I don't get it. Haven't really downloaded any apps at all yet.

It has a different way of reporting battery usage, it doesn't affect it though (based on 5.6.890) I've had my phone on for 9 hours now, medium usage, and I'm at 86%.

If flashing from the last version of Liberty there shouldn't be a need to wipe, I didn't anyway. It took quite a while, more than 5min, to finally boot just after flashing. As far as the 10-15 second delay, that is how safestrap works. 10 seconds at the safestrap splash screen and about 10 seconds of black before the bootanimation. Though I'm not sure of why the later takes so long. For me the previous version of Liberty took just as long to boot.
Yup, that was it, the MD5s would not match up until I downloaded over 3g. Wireless or PC->phone would always have mismatched numbers. I didn't check the Steel Droid or Maverick ROMS I downloaded wirelessly, but those installed fine regardless. Wonder why the consistent download errors for the Liberty ROM?
Thanks for your help!

If you want to use the new lockscreens or themes you'll need to preform a data wipe, Kejar said so himself.

SBF back to stock 5.6.890, reroot, reinstall safestrap, re-do EVERYTHING pretty much. Thats my solution to everything.

[Q] ANOTHER Boot Loop Problem

Been A long time Lurker here at XDA, so much great info and support!!
Ok so here is my problem I have a 32GB touchpad. I have WebOS running, no problems at all. I have tried many many times installing CM7 and CM7 XRON-ified. Every version and i get into this boot loop....
I have done an ACME Uninstall....reinstalled webos with the Doctor.... fresh installs of everything... full formats of "SD Card"... I am at a loss
After i have done a fresh install i will reboot into CM and it will be working... then just reboot, and start the boot loop...ill stop it on the MBOOT menu and just let it sit then boot back into CM and it will load... then randomly just reboot and go back to the boot loop...
I am at a loss... could it be hardware related... WebOS runs find and diagnostics that i have run in webos come back clean... Any one have any thoughts?.....
If you need any other info please let me know...
Thanks
Cdrshm
Sounds to me like the caches need wiping and another fresh install. But I'm sure you've tried this so I am at a loss.

[Q] Need HELP PLEASE (TouchPad Cyanogen 9 Alpha 0.6)...

Okay I am having some problems. I upgraded from the Cyanogen 7 Alpha 3.5 to the new Cyanogen 9 0.6 using the lilputing (spell?) instructions to the letter. Everything upgraded and installed just fine but when it booted up I got a picture asking for pin code/pass code with a numbered keypad.
I don't have a pass code or pin on my TouchPad. What am I supposed to enter here??? Please someone HELP ME so I can have my TouchPad back! Thanks and hope someone can help me SOON! I don't want to wipe the data as I don't want to loose all my apps and games I put on there when I had 7. Is there anything else I can do??? I am anxious to try Cyanogen 9 after hearing so many GOOD things about it! THANKS DEVELOPERS!
sorry but dont think its possible to go from cm7 to cm9 and keep your apps and data.
some wont work on ICS anyway.
Actually according to RootzWiki here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15509-releasealpha06-cyanogenmod-9-touchpad/ it states you can do it. My Mother was able to upgrade from 7 (Alpha 3.5) to 9 (Alpha 0.6) without any problems. I just can't figure why it would work on one TouchPad but not another.
There is. When i upgraded mine, i did not lose my apps and data. What i did is I ran the novacom acmeuninstaller2 script in dos prompt and made sure i have the zip file inside the cminstall folder in my tp.

I was able to jump from CM7 to CM9 via an upgrade. However, you might want to invest in Titanium Backup to be able to easily do a complete wipe and easy restore. It is a great product for "ROM jumpers"
I was also able to make the jump, but it made me reinstall almost all of my apps before they would work again anyway. Thankfully I was able to use Amazon for them, as the Market forgot what free apps I had...
I use Astro app backup for my touchpad. It doesn't back up data, but I like it that way, fresh install.
You could try reinstalling CM7, and see if it will boot, then back up your apps, wipe and install CM9. I use Titanium Backup on my phone, but on the TP it was spotty which ROMs would let it open. Because Astro doesn't need root it always works.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
Has anyone tried ROM Toolbox to see if it was any more compatible than Titanium Backup is. I would personally recommend a clean install to make sure no bugs are caused by leftover applications. To each his own though.
They say on rootzwiki that if you use the acmeinstaller2 you shouldn't have any problems upgrading

[NIGHTLY] UNOFFICIAL CM9/ICS For Droid 4 For MotoICS Leak

FLASHING ROMS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND COULD POTENTIALLY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE -- WHILE I MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT NOT TO LET THIS HAPPEN, IT'S STILL A RISK THAT YOU'RE TAKING. IF SOMETHING BAD SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE, PLEASE DON'T BLAME ME -- HENCE THIS WARNING.
This isn't so much a ROM announcement as it is a direction to find the unofficial nightly builds of CM9 for the Droid 4 (based on Motorola ICS leaks)
Download Here from ROMbot
Download GApps Here (04/29 Goo-Inside GApps Link).
FLASH THE GAPPS.ZIP FILE AFTER YOU FLASH THE ICS.ZIP
WHAT do I need to run this ROM?
- Rooted
- Running a Motorola ICS leak (.206, .208, .211, etc)
- I recommend that you run Safestrap v2.00 to install this. Here's how to use Safestrap
And you can download Safestrap for the Droid 4 (v2.x for ICS-leak users) here:
Safestrap « Hash-of-Codes
WHAT can I expect to work right now?
- 4G and basic phone function
- All sensors
- Camera, Panorama and Face-unlock
- Video Recording
- HD YouTube
- Netflix
Current Known Issues?
- Data connection is a work in progress. It's MUCH better than it used to be in the old ICS builds, however there is always room for improvement. Due to the "global" data connection style of stock Motorola ICS, this problem will probably continue to be worked on. Feedback is always appreciated, but if you see it posted already then there's a good chance I know about specific issues.
- Currently, there is a bug in the rotation display of the phone. What I mean is, that when you take the phone and rotate it, the display will squeeze in on itself and then pop back out. This is a *known* issue and I'm working very hard to fix it.
- The CM9 built-in Wifi Tether won't work. You need to use the "Wifi Tether" app that's bundled into the ROM. Once you open it, hit [menu] and "Settings". Select "Change Device-Profile" to "Generic ICS".
- I'm sure there's more, I'll update this list here in a bit.
WHO works on this?
Myself and @DHacker29 work as a team to build AOSP-based ROMs (and device setups) for several Motorola phones. Typically, I do the coding work in C, C++ or Java while DHacker maintains the blobs, runs merges with CM/AOKP sources, and solves device issues which require less coding.
WHAT is a "nightly"?
It's an automated build ran from a script. It basically: deletes the current set of output files, sync's with github, and then attempts to do a brand new build. It can break at times, in which case we'll fix it (usually this happens when there are framework changes which didn't get merged).
WHY would I want this?
- Since we work on several devices, this is how we decided to start keeping builds up-to-date. Rather than spend several hours a week on builds and uploading. This happens automatically every night around 2am PST.
- It's up to you the community to identify good "stable" builds.

Just tried installing using safestrap and bootlooped. Had to hard reboot to get back to safestrap recovery and back in to stock ROM. Anyone else tried this yet? Might try again tonight when I get home and let the battery charge up a bit.

That was it. First time I've used safestrap. I figured since I did not have a previous ROM installed in Safemode that I did not need to wipe. Went back in, wiped data and cache and now I am in business. Looking good Hash!
One question though, I tried to wipe dalvik and it said it could not find sd-ext. Any idea what that is about?

I did the exact same thing (not wiping on a fresh safestrap). I believe that message about the sd-ext is normal when wiping dalvik.

I believe the reason behind that message is that the Dalvik cache is not stored on the sd-ext, but rather the sd, which is internal. Since theres technically 2 SD cards on our device, it looks for the dalvik on the first one. A dev would probably have better advice on it though,....I may be wrong.

Safestrap checks for a dalvik cache under a theoretical /sd-ext partition on the external SD. It's almost never there tho. So you can safely ignore that message.
So one thing I have noticed switching between stock and the ICS ROM is the battery level is not consistent. Reads 60% on stock. Reads 26% on ICS. Anybody know what's up with that?

Appreciate the Rom.. Runs very nicely on Droid 4. Easy install.
I know HW video is being worked on. Will that fix or update allow Movie Studio to work?
Very interested and excited about Ice Cream Sandwich and future updates to this Rom
Installed and loving it so far.
The one thing I've noticed, the phone gets really hot, and the battery usage is pretty poor. I actually watched my battery percentage drop while doing my installs of all the apps that I had to download.
I lost about 3% during that process, even when plugged into the wall charger.
I'll keep an eye on it, as I'm close to a charger at all times, so bad battery life doesn't affect me too much.
Can't wait for BT to work, as that would be the last piece in a daily driver for me.
EDIT - just discovered I'm having issues with Chrome Beta. I've never used it before, but it won't load any websites. I'll DL Dolphin for the time being, but would love to try out Chrome. Just wondering if anyone else is running into this.
Im fully installed and Chrome Browser works great along with all other functions on my end.
As for battery percentage Im not sure if im having your problem with excess heat....

Ok found out it was my charger. For some reason it wasn't actually charging and was just causing heat. Plugged it into a different charger and all is well now.
still no love with Chrome though.

Everything seems to be working perfectly for me, even the camera is working properly. I haven't tried bluetooth yet, but I'm not too worried about it, I barely use it.

I'll check tomorrow to see how the battery life is but for now every things pretty smooth. Thanks!

[Q] Do I have an un-android-able Touchpad?

Hello All,
I'm not that new to the XDA scene as I've been rooting for a couple of years now (HTC Aria, HTC One XL), however I am completely stumped as to why my HP Touchpad keeps randomly rebooting while in android. Here's the TL;DR
1. Installed moboot 0.3.5, CWM 1012, and CM9 20121212 Nightly using ACMEInstaller2.
2. Everything installed fine, except device randomly reboots within 5 min of starting up, sometimes immediately (before I can even unlock the display), sometimes even while loading the cyanogenmod splash screen.
3. I have read everything on the XDA's about this problem and scoured Google for hours to no avail. Tried clearing cache, Dalvik cache, then fix permissions. Still randomly reboots. Tried turning off beats audio in webOS. Still randomly reboots. Used ACMEUninstaller, erased webOS completely, re-rooted using ACMEInstaller3, moboot 0.3.5, CWM 1012, and CM9 20121212 Nightly. Still Randomly Reboots.
I am at the end of my ropes here, about to give up and just accept that my device is not compatible with android, even though countless others are running android with little problem. I'm just not understanding what I am doing wrong, if anything. Any comments / advice would be very much appreciated.
Peace and Love
That's odd. Maybe try a different ROM?

I've tried CM7 Alpha 3.5, CM9 Nightlys, and CM9 Fat and Creamy by SGA. CM7 was the most stable, but still I had many FC's and random reboots, though not as many as CM9.

I would try wiping cache and dalvik-cache. Aside from that, I'm out of ideas.

Just tried that and it rebooted before I could even navigate to No-Frills CPU Control :/ I appreciate the input though.
It seems that once it boots, if i don't touch anything, it will not reboot while at the lock screen. I've had it charging for the past 4 hours or so while booted in CM9 and haven't ventured past the lock screen and it hasn't rebooted yet.
When you unlock it, see if you can find out what the min cpu speed. If it's @ 192, try 384 or even 432 and see if that makes a difference

I have tried both of those as well as setting both the min and max frequency to 1.2 GHz. It still reboots; seems to be independent of CPU clock speed.
I've also tried disabling all haptic feedback as well as turning the sound all the way down and turning off the keypress sounds. Still reboots.
i had the same issue. i used acmeuninstaller and removed android completely. downloaded the latest CM9 nightly and CWM and such. used acmeinstaller to install CWM, then I installed CM9 and gapps manually via CWM. check out jscullins latest CWM build. it may help.
Are you using the right Gapps zip? If you flash CM9 and are using Jelly Bean Gapps, it may have problems trying to run the Google setup at start since its meant for Jelly Bean. Just a thought.
It may be a block of bad Nand memory. Similar problems have been seen / noted in some of the other tablet forums (I hang out a lot in the Advent Vega forum) and this is not totally unknown, although not that common. It may just be an area that hasn't been used or is avoided by Webos, but comes into play with Android and the extra partitions.
Only suggestion from me would be to try AcmeInstaller3 if you haven't already as that sets different partitions to AcmeInstaller2 to allow for the space needed for CM10, but will work fine with CM9.

The only thing I did different than what you suggested here is let the ACMEInstaller3 install CM9 for me. I have not tried jscullins build of CWM though, I will give that a shot and also try installing the ROM manually after ACME has installed CWM.

I'm 99% sure I was using the right apps, and usually I can make it through the setup portion of the initial boot without a restart. Doesn't last too much longer than that though...

I've used ACMEInstaller3 the last two times I reverted everything to stock, erased and reset webOS, and started over. Still had the same problems as when I used ACMEInstaller2.
