I've spent two days trying to solve this but keep coming to the same problem. I have factory reset my touchpad with the webos doctor and have done a secure wipe on the device. When I try to install CM9 with ACMEInstaller it works fine, but when I boot moboot does not show an android option. It does show a CWM option but when I try to flash the ROM from CWM it says
"E:Can't open /sdcard/cminstall/cm-9-20120814-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Couldn't open directory.
No files found."
I was able to install android before. I'm not sure of the cause of this error. CWM won't flash any ROM I have tried nightlies and other touchpad roms; nothing works. The fact that moboot doesn't even show android may be a part of this. I only installed android once with the ACMEInstaller 4 months ago and it worked perfectly. After that I was able to flash roms and everything was fine. This whole issue started when I tried to install ubuntu, but I was able to successfully remove ubuntu and restore to factory default. Any help would be appreciated as the touchpad nearly triples in value for me with android installed.
This thread would have solved my first issue, but cwm won't install any ROMS

Okay... I went throught this exact same thing, which was very frusterating!!
Look in your cminstall folder on the SD card. Does it no longer contain the items you placed into it? If yes, then you have the same issue I did.
Do exactly what this guy says in his tutorial, and don't swap out the ROM or GAPPS or anything, use the exact package you download from the site he linked. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-android-ice-cream-sandwich-hp-touchpad-minutes/
It will work 100%, then use CWM to flash whatever ROM you like after... Bravo, you are done!

I'm about to try, should I restore my touchpad first? Should I run the ACMEUninstaller?
For some reason AcmeInstaller2 deletes ROM's it doesn't like, so in effect all you are doing is installing a non-functional version of CWM.

So you have the ROM on the root of the SD card and you select it for flashing and what happens?

Hi,
I want to root my device, which i have upgraded recently to 4.1.2
the thing is, I found some information in root threads regarding build no. like XXAMA1, XXAMA2, XXAMA4 ...etc
what are the differences between them? if all of them are 4.1.2 JB?! will anyone work?
to make it easier, which thread can work to root my SG3mini device:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I8190XXAMA3
Kernel version: 3.0.31-860525
Build number: JZ054K.I8190XXAMA3
You can just root the one you got. No need to re-flash the whole rom.

can you root with a 4.1.1 custom version on a 4.1.2?

Yes you can, but only if you make a factory reset first. Otherwise you'll have bootloops or force closed apps.

No it shouldn't be any problem. Factory reset makes sure there is no leftovers from previous install. Clears cache, settings, user data.

Just flash a wipe.tar and then your firmware.
I never had to flash param.lfs to get it boot.
Once I had to pull the battery and power on again when it got stuck on boot after flash.

Yes flash as pda. It's basicly the same as a factory reset.
If your phone reboots after, just put it in download again and flash firmware.

Afaik the param.lfs is mostly just a bunch of pictures. Don't know what it does, except loads the phone with startup/downloadmode pictures.

i dont get it.i have my 4.1.2 rooted now,but after flashing ,my phone doesnt boot.it only boots when i flash the PARAM file.i restarded my phone to check if that works and that works fine.i dont think this is a big problem,is it?
at first sight everything works fine.
WIPE doesnt work,and factory reset doesnt work either.is there a option to do this manually.i have clear master,is that the same?

thank you tys0n for your replies! i kept my CSC, didn't change it.. since i'm already having 4.1.2 (last firmware for s3 mini till now)
and followed this way to root my device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150979
and it worked
the only thing is, this way increased the flash counter! i dont know how is this bad, but i guess just if i want to give it to someone to check it, they will know, right?!
BUT I found other rooted ROM that they will reset binary count after flash to "none"! and will show firmware as "official" instead of "custom"..
anyway, good to learn and i'm saying all that just in case any noob like me saw this thread in the future maybe they can find one useful info or two
sorry TerenceTP7 that i can't help you.. still new to those things..
and thank you again tys0n
Sv: [Q] for 4.1.2 root, what is the difference between build no.?
Search triangle away here on xda. It's an app that will reset your binary count to zero

If you have a ww sku try to put this file (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.36_KK-user.zip) on the root of you microSD card and reboot the tab, it should try to flash it (well not on first reboot, you'll have a notification asking you if you want to do the update); if this doesn't work either try the nandroid (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347832070) from jerbear, it was done on an unmodified me176c with lollipop, you must use the tethered recovery, make a backup, reboot, replace your back up files by the files of the nandroid, then reuse the tethered recovery and restore from the new back up. Ask jerbear from this forum for further explanation, i'm just a user who had the same problem, not a specialist.

Ps; the system will do an update after the nandroid restore, it is an older version of the me176c's lollipop rom.

You'll have to root again indeed, but remember what i said in the start, you're likely to regret it if you manage to do the update, it's a very bugged one.

a factory reset doesn't give you the original rom, the update will still be there, the downgrade is a very tricky process, and i answered you only because you asked, but i repeat myself, you should really keep your tab the way it is now, i regretted having done the update for months until someone finally found a way to roll-back to kitkat.
With lollipop you'll have:
-memory leak (can be fixed anyway).
-overheating.
-crashes.
-apps closing themselves or refusing to launch.
-random reboots of the tab itself.
-some users even had clock issues on the tab (too slow).
-others had battery life issue (tablet discharging too fast).
