Notes, Fixes and Tweaks:
Note:The following are Solutions for the most Frequently asked questions and problems.
1)If the WiFi turns off in Sleep/suspend mode then uncheck wifi optimization.

10/19/2013 Builds based on Jcsullins CM10 that include the Master key exploit fixes: By iMark90
The Problem: A Master key security exploit issue was discovered in CM9/CM10 that was later fixed in all Android 4.2+ builds. However this still effects many HP TouchPad CM10 builds. You can test for these exploits by installing and running the Bluebox security test App here.
The solution: RootzWiki member iMarck90 has included the Master key fixes into two new builds of Jcsullins CM10. These builds by iMarck90 are entirely based on the fantastic work of Jcsullins, Dorregaray, and Dr Marbel, et al. Install these new CM10 builds by dirty flashing them over your current build of CM9/CM10.
Note:In addition to these fixes iMarck90 has included all the current upstream changes like, Jcsullins newer WiFi drivers V4.5 and Bluetooth fixes.

How and when to Use the WebOS Doctor(Important):
Q: What’s the WebOS Doctor and when should I use it?
The WebOS Doctor is a program that has two main functions for HP TouchPad users. It can either update your version of WebOS or fix problems with a damaged WebOS by completely reinstalling it. If WebOS no longer boots or apps and preware have stopped working correctly, then you will need to resinstall WebOS with the Doctor. A failed or interrupted attempt at changing the partition sizes with WebOS preware app Tailor may cause these problems. To check what version of WebOS is currently installed go to Launcher(Up Arrow)/Settings/Device Info/ Version
Note(Important): You MUST uninstall Android before running the WebOS doctor. Failing to remove Android before running the Doctor can result in the process becoming stuck at 8-12% and potentially bricking the device. If you are currently stuck visit the thread below for information about fixing the problem. If you’re unable to use the tablet at all follow the instructions in Jcsullins TPDebrick thread.
The Official Fix your TouchPad ( 8-12% stopped, No SD, Opps reformat, $&^#[email protected]&# crap....) thread.(Rootzwiki)
The Official Fix your TouchPad ( 8-12% stopped, No SD, Opps reformat, $&^#[email protected]&# crap....) thread.(CM)
TPDebrick v004 - Jcsullins dedicated thread for fixing Bricked TouchPads:
Note(Important): Running the Doctor will completely wipe all personal information, applications and preware from the TouchPad. Media like music and movies will not be affected. However I would recommend backing your important files to PC, before running the Doctor.
Note(Important): In order to install apps from the WebOS store you will need to get the Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services.

Full step by step A6 Firmware Flashing instructions and Info here!
The Problem:
Developer James Sullins, Aka Jcsullins, has informed HP TouchPads users that there is a problem with our tablets A6 Firmware. This issue can cause an usually high battery drain during sleep. This problem occurs overtime while running both CyanogeMod and WebOS, on the HP TouchPad. As a results the Touchpads battery drains more quickly with daily use and the overall life span is reduced.
The Solution:
Reflashing the A6 Firmware effectively fixes the problem but may need to be repeated as a part of regular HP TouchPad maintenance. Watch this video and follow the step by step instructions to reflash your own Touchpads A6 Firmware.
How to test:

Rom Flashing issues with CWM5 (Important):
Spoiler
The Problem:
-Developer Green has advised that using CWM5 to install(flash) a nightly or format the /data and /system partitions, may introduce corruption into the file system.
-It is advised to avoid updating though CWM5 for this reason.
-By installing Jcsullins new CWM6 you can avoid future corruption.(Included)
-CWM6 Download:
-Updating your Rom with CWM5 can cause the inode errors seen in double penguin mode while installing with the ACEMEInstaller3.
-Due to corruption introduced from flashing/Updating Roms though CWM5, your system partition may have errors.
The Solution: (Also a safe way to upgrade from CM9-CM10)
-Uninstalling CyanogenMod with the ACMEUninstaller and freshly installing with the ACMEInstaller 3 will resolve any possible issues.
-To avoid problems when updating from CM9-CM10 you should first make a full Nandroid backup, then uninstall CM9.
-Next Fully install CM9 using the ACMEInstaller3.
-Once Complete restore your CM9 Nandroid backup,
-Now you can safely update from CM9- CM10 with the ACMEInstaller3 or
-You can also safely flash the CM10 Rom and gapps package with CWM6.
-It’s fine to flash regular.zip files through CWM5; such as gapps files, fixes/patches and CWM6.zip These will not cause corruption and are safe for daily flashing.
-Use CWM6 from now on Download:
-Note* CWM6 has already been included for everyone using this guide to install CyanogenMod for the first time.

Partition Size Problems and ACMEInstaller3(Important):
The Problem:
-CM10 requires a larger partition size than CM9.
-The ACMEInstaller 3 is meant to increase the partition size from 300MB to 400MB.
-CM9 only needed 300MB but Jelly Bean is a larger Rom and requires more space(350MB).
-In some cases users have reported 0.0/400MB of space left after installing CM10.
-Although everything may still run fine it is recommend to leave at least a little space free. The consequences of running it without free space are not known.
How to monitor free System Storage space with CM10(Optional):
-You can use a free app,Quick System Info PRO, to check the size of your partitions and remaining free space, it should be = 387MB or 402MB. Either of these is acceptable and indicates that the ACMEInstaller3 worked correctly.
-Having a system size of 387Mib = 400MB and is perfectly normal after using ACME3
-Users report having a size of 394 after flashing to a new Rom. This is also acceptable.
-If your partition is an odd size or you get random reboots,then you may have encountered problems due to flashing you Rom.
Quick System Info PRO Video Link:
Quick System Info PRO Play Store Link:
-If you use the ACMEInstaller3 and then later restore your Nandroid backup of CM9, you will still retain the larger partition size.
-You can then use CWM or TWRP to safely flash from CM9-CM10 but flashing from CM10-CM9 can cause a boot loop.
How to free up System Storage space with CM10(Optional):
I believe I have located about 15.89MB of data we can safely delete. Android in space videos and Phone Ring tones are located @
root/system/media/videos & root/system/media/audio/ring tones.
X-plore File Manager, use this app to delete the files:
Note* X-plore needs to be given Root Permissions by clicking the 3 dots in the corner and choosing configuration. Here check your Root Access settings. SuperUser + Mount Writable, this is what it should say. Next you may need to reboot before it takes effect.

How to install Android 4.2 and 4.3 Builds on the HP TouchPad
Hello HP TouchPad users, Great News! Android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 Roms are now available. These Roms are almost fully functional except for a few that lack Bluetooth support see the Rom notes. Most builds have h/w video, Camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, Sound & Mic support. Battery drain during sleep is low around (-4mA to -10mA) for most builds, see guide. Below you will find a comparison and overview of all the available Android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 Roms. Read the summarized descriptions for important information and notes about the builds. Remember many of these are testing builds, so Please make a nandroid backup and read the information carefully. Please thank and leave our incredible developers some feedback here or in the related threads.
General Unofficial Release Notes:
Working:
-Sound and Mic
-Camera
-H/W Video

Known Issues:
-Flashing CM9/CM10 Over CM10.1/Android4.2/4.3 through CWM or TWRP, can cause a boot loop.(use a Backup)
If your HP TouchPad is stuck in a boot loop or not responding Don't Panic! Try the following:
-Hold down the Power and Home buttons together for 30sec to force the TouchPad to Reboot.
-Hold down the Power button and click the Home key 14 times.
-Doing an install with ACMEInstaller can sometimes result in a boot loop.
-To fix the boot loop, Use a backup or flash the Rom and Gapps package through CWM or TWRP.
The usual HP TouchPad battery drain issues:
-If your battery is heavily drained, then you may need to leave it charging for a full day.
-When the battery is fully drained it can take the TP a longtime to reach even the lowest battery level.
-The USB cable that comes with the HP TP is often defective and breaks easily. Try using another USB cable if possible.
-The USB cable does not transfer enough power to effectively charge the tablet. You must use the wall plug when charging the HP TouchPad.
-To be safe don't let your TouchPad run out of Batteries ever!!
-You can add an automatic shutdown Rule
-AutomateIt, Play Store Link- What to do: New Rule/Trigger Battery level(Below 20%)/Action/Shutdown//save. Or

How to update/install Android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 Builds on the HP TouchPad
Disclaimer: Make a backup before installing any of these Roms! Testing builds should only be used by experienced users whom are familiar with recovering their device.
Clean install(Recommended):
When updating your version of Android its recommended to do a clean install of Android. You can do this by using your recovery(CWM or TWRP) to Format/Wipe the system data and the cache partitions. You can also fully Uninstall and Reinstall Android to accomplish a clean install. You will find a full step by step instructional video below. First choose an Android 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 Rom and Gapps package from the detailed guides. Next transfer the two .zip files to your Android device with the USB or direct download them. Watch the how to update video below for step by step instructions. note that you must have the correct Gapps for your version of Android or you may experience errors with the Keyboard, Play Store or other Google apps.
Note(Important):If you have not installed Android before, then start by using the "Easy Way" guide below and installing one of the prepared install packages. Once you have Android running make a Nandroid backup before trying the large selection of available Roms in this thread. If you are currently using an older version of Android like 2.3 or 4.0.1(CM7/CM9), then you should do a Full uninstall and reinstall. This fixes several problematic issues like increasing the system partition size from 400-600MB to accommodate larger Android 4.2+(CM10+) Roms. If you're currently using a newer Rom like CM10+ and have CWM6+ then you can upgrade with a clean install after increasing your system partition size. You can do this by using the WebOS Preware app Tailor, or by using a flashable 512MB zip located in Gradular's thread, How to guide for changing your system, data, and cache partition sizes to whatever you want.
How to check your Android version and System Partition size:
-Get the free app,Quick System Info PRO, to check the size of your partitions and remaining free space.
-Having a System Partition size of 500-600MB is needed when installing Android 4.2+ Roms.
-Check your version of Android by going to Settings/About Tablet/Android Version.
Tailor Video:
Don't forget! First make a Nandroid backup of your current setup! Full CWM and TWRP Video here:
Dirty Flash(Not Recommended):
If you wish to keep your current setup and have made a Nandroid backup, then you can attempt to upgrade using a Dirty flash. Download your selected Rom and gapps zips and flash them through CWM or TWRP recovery. Don't forget to wipe your caches, Click here to see a how to dirty flash your Rom video clip.I would only recommend doing this over similar Roms and only moving upwards version wise. For example CM10 to CM10.1 or Evevolv AOSP 4.3 to 4.4. Flashing CM10.2 to CM10.1 can cause boot loops, so be sure to have a backup before you attempt any Dirty flashing.
Clean Install vs Dirty Install Rom/Updates via Recovery: (After initial install with Acme3) ->Mpgrimm2 Quote
"Clean installing" a rom usually means to format the 3 basic partitions (& sometimes the /boot too depending on the rom/kernel script) and flash the rom as recommended by most devs to avoid issues (some rom installer scripts will handle the formatting for you, but shouldn't be assumed unless stated by the rom's developer. 9-14-13: See Attachment for example).
"Dirty Installing" a rom typically involves formatting the system & cache (sometimes only the cache :thumbdown: ) and flashing a rom to preserve /data partition with user apps & settings.
A cleaner method for this is to format all 3 partitions, flash rom, and restore only /data from a backup.
I've rarely seen dirty installs recommended by devs, but when I have seen them say it was "OK to try", it was done on the same rom/firmware base between incremental rom updates only (vs b/w CM7 - CM9 or CM9 - CM10, etc), and if you had a bug, you needed to go back and do a clean install before reporting it or expecting help. I will add that many people have been successful restoring their CM9 data after flashing CM10 & Gapps.

I've been referring people to your rootzwiki thread for awhile. Thanks for making one here.

Found it Roland! I'll PM BigSimon. Don't forget to add the "Edited: 2-13-13" so it matches the date on the Rootz thread, and maybe throw in that picture I posted showing the correct Palm,Inc folder contents.

Hello, i'm a little confused by your statement. Are you saying that all devices using JB have issues playing flash videos in the Web Browsers? My Note 2 runs flash just fine with the Firefox Beta browser. Of course I had to manually install flash but videos play fine.
Did you see this note and try this method?

I'm saying it's incorrect and disingenuous to state that problems with flash videos is a "known issue" with the ROM. Sure you can try to sideload it and use a third party browser to try and load flash videos, but when the base of the ROM, Jelly Bean, fundamentally does not support flash, it is not an "issue", and any functionality you achieve should be considered a bonus.

Thanks for the clarification, I do see your point. However the "Known Issues" section isn't there to list just problems with the specific Rom but the TouchPad problems in general. For-instance the charging issues are not specific to this Rom but to the TouchPad in general. Its simply a very frequently asked question that people should be made aware of, like using the ACMEInstaller3. If you have a look at my RootzWiki thread or YouTube Page you will see that dozens of people have asked about using flash. Adding a simple note about something we know is an issue for many people saves me from having to answer that question over and over again.
Perhaps a little rephrasing is in order like so.
-Streaming videos via flash in the Web Browsers is unsupported in JB and often only the Audio plays.
Note these are "Unofficial Release Notes" because we don't have official release notes.
I do appreciate peoples feedback and I will make some revisions to this. Thank you for your input:good:

New CM10 build!
Hello HP TouchPad Users, Great news!
I have just spotted a new Build of Jcsullins CM10 for the HP touchPad, Time for testing! Thank you Jcsullins!
http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouc...L-tenderloin-FOR_LIMITED_TESTING_ONLY_CAM.zip

So far everything is working. The only problem so far is the long pause (up to 30 seconds) before OS is ready to be used upon a reboot.
Chrome works fine now as well
Battery life has improved significantly as well, without sacrificing rock solid WiFi.
Still lots more to test. Antutu also gave me a higher score - still much lower than CM9 though.

One thing I noticed in the 20130304 version is that the battery icon one the bottom right doesn't show the lightning bolt when charging as well as in settings. It says discharging even though its connected and charging. The lock screen does say charging though.

PLEASE BE SURE TO WIPE SYSTEM & DATA/CACHE (FACTORY RESET) WHEN COMING FROM AMAZON STOCK SOFTWARE.
(It's the "Wipe" button and then "System" and then "Factory Reset" button in TWRP -- this does NOT clear your sdcard space)
Be aware that the "sdcard" space has changed slightly from ICS to JB4.2. You will find your stock amazon OS files in /data/media/ or "sdcard" on the Stock OS. But CM10.1 will create a sub directory "/data/media/0" and call that "sdcard". And in TWRP it will also use "data/media/0" as "sdcard". This has to do with multi-user settings. So when placing files on the "sdcard" be sure to check both locations before wondering why that file is missing.

BUILDING THIS ROM:
First, read through Google's Android website about "how to setup a build environment":
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
[ COMING SOON ]
SCREEN SHOTS:

FOR BUGS / TROUBLESHOOTING:
I need the output from:
adb logcat -b radio > logcat-radio.txt
SAME BUGS AS THE STANDARD VERSION OF KINDLE FIRE HD 8.9"
CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES:
Benchmarks are quite LOW at the moment due to lack of bionic optimizations for OMAP in 4.3. This will probably get worked out over time. DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT BENCHMARKS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
When long pressing icons in landscape mode to move them, etc the screen will flip upside down for a moment and right itself. This causes the action to be aborted.
Rotation selection in games is hit and miss. Some work perfectly and some like to flip the device upside down. Still debugging what is causing this.
AUDIO: Any decoder which uses Dolby surround current has a lower volume than the rest of the system (Netflix, Google Movies, etc). It's a WIP.
3D Performance: Is only OK. Needs some troubleshooting and perhaps kernel cleanup. Work-In-Progress.
Sensors: Testing various sensors, gyro seems 90 degrees off, etc.
I don't have an LTE version so this is not enabled in current builds.

Great news! Thank you very much.

This ROM has a few notable changes:
- It's using the new sensor hardware layer (from source!) which is almost -- but not quite done. So for now, the ambient light sensor doesn't work. All other sensors work. Tho, the gyro still has mixed X and Y axis.
- I did some comparisons to the regular JEM build and noted that rild, the gsm permissions, MMS.apk and Phone.apk are in this build. Obviously, once things start working, I'll want to remove some of that as it doesn't apply but for now thats a good sign.
I need a new logcat -b radio of this build.

Tks god now I can post -_-
Thank you @Hashcode for trying to build rom for us
I follow topic every hour and I have some infomation for you:
-Your first LTE build has nothing about mobile network.
-Your second one has a setting named: emegency alert and setting about which situation and action.
-The Messenger app can't send a messenger to another number.
-No sign of mobile signal, nothing, no data roaming on off, no apn etc ...
-Call at lockscreen doesn't work.
I've tried many rom, but the rom that LTE network worked is stock 8.1.4 that has APN adding option (I'm living in Vietnam so I used local network operator here). The Stari-rom doesn't has APN option but still has network system and can recieve sms.
/// I've just tried to install your 8.4.3 stock rom zip, ithe 3G network worked

Thanks for the input. Did you by chance get the output from "adb logcat -b radio > logcat-radio.txt"?

Changed from a "phone" style build to a tablet + mobile data set of packages (No Dialer / MMS)
Need a new: adb logcat -b radio > logcat-radio.txt
Thanks!

The new rom has a Mobile networks settings, but no signal. Maybe this park is for the smartphone hardware and not for tablets. Cuz I see Network Operater doesn't show up at status bar, just a triangle with nothing. And when I was in the network operations setting, it scan for network, manage mobile plan doesn't recognize sim (the stock 8.4.3 does). Or maybe it just setup for AT&T network?
I don't know why I can't get the log file, my computer does recognize as ADB, but when I tried to log, it said waiting for device.
Your rom is improved every update ^^
thanks for your work, bro.

I am unable to get the new Amazon AppStore to run on this rom. Immediately force-closes. The same problem happened when updated the Amazon appstore on the 11-15 CM10.2 build. There is a similar comment on that thread by another user but without reply.
I tried re-installing, clearing data, and even a full wipe and clean install but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
P.S. No post in this forum should go without thanking Hashcode for his time and efforts. Without him, this tablet isn't good for anyone between 5-60 years old.

Juppp... same here installed the old Version of the store, everything is OK.

Wow thank you so much! I wish there was some way I could help but I only know the basics on programming but I am more than willing to help in any way. I really hope this improves the device with kitkats memory management

Having lots of problems
First I did a backup (TWRP 2.6.0.1 or something dont remember exactly but older version)
Then I updated TWRP to the newest one
After that I restarted recovery it seams to work fine (other then USB mount which would be very very much appricated if it worked) I wiped System and Seamed to Working like it should
Then I did factory reset and then advanced wipe System
after that I installed the 2 files for CM11 and Gapps
CM11 will look like its starting then go really fast and say success but really do pretty much nothing
the GAPPs will just fail
Now I cant restore the file from the older TWRP since its in a different folder and it fails when i use the file managment to move it to the correct folder..
I cant ADB push a rom file to try an older version of CM ADB sideload also fails Smaller files Like TWRP work but not Roms and this is plenty of open space that is not a problem
Right now I cant install anything but TWRP
Is anyone else having problems?
Thanks!

Just wanted to say Thanks Hashcode, really pleased and surprised to get KitKat for my Kindle, especially so early.
I did a clean install (wipe system, data and cache) with the newest TWRP and then enabled Art as the runtime environment and so far everything seems to be working ok. Installed rotate app to take care of the rotation bug and so far not found any other problems.
Thanks again

http://d-h.st/users/loosethisskin/?fld_id=28911#files or http://goo.im/devs/loosethisskin/jem/cm-11.0
@Hashcode ... the relevant commit is here: https://github.com/loosethisskin/an...mmit/f5c558fa4acee3b793be6e1de9949e9624014c55
It's a first version and will need to be modified if it's worth pursuing (e.g. make it property driven). The change should have a result similar what apps like Rotation Control do. I am forcing sensor (landscape) orienation for every landscape or reverse landscape request.
Let me know...

Having lots of problems
First I did a backup (TWRP 2.6.0.1 or something dont remember exactly but older version)
Then I updated TWRP to the newest one
After that I restarted recovery it seams to work fine (other then USB mount which would be very very much appricated if it worked) I wiped System and Seamed to Working like it should
Then I did factory reset and then advanced wipe System
after that I installed the 2 files for CM11 and Gapps
CM11 will look like its starting then go really fast and say success but really do pretty much nothing
the GAPPs will just fail
Now I cant restore the file from the older TWRP since its in a different folder and it fails when i use the file managment to move it to the correct folder..
I cant ADB push a rom file to try an older version of CM ADB sideload also fails Smaller files Like TWRP work but not Roms and this is plenty of open space that is not a problem
Right now I cant install anything but TWRP
Is anyone else having problems?
Thanks!

I'm getting the same thing. Also did the same with updating recovery. Had 2.6.0.0 before updating. Now even with the recommended wipes it won't boot, just stuck on blue kindle fire logo. =(

Q & A:
Read all the background information about The TPtoolbox and Data Media builds here:
What is the TouchPad Toolbox?
The Touchpad Toolbox(TPToolbox) is an easy to use and reliable tool that replaces previous methods of installing Android onto the HP Touchpad. This excellent tool created by Jcsullins has dramatically simplified the installation of the latest Lollipop and Kitkat Data Media builds onto the Touchpad. The TP Toolbox can also install a few non data media roms, which will be listed in the guide below. In addition it gives users the ability to completely remove WebOS if desired.
It replaces the following procedures and tools:
-ACMEInstallers
-ACMEUninstallers*
-Various methods of resizing partitions/volumes (erroneously called partitions)
-Various methods of reflashing the A6 battery monitoring chip
-Various methods of completely wiping/recreating volumes
What is a data media build?
Previously on the HP Touchpad Android and WebOS shared SDcard space in the media partition. This was the space you saw when transferring data via the USB cable. It stored all your media like music, pictures and movies. Data media builds separate the Android and WebOS space by emulating a 2nd ext4 SDcard in the data partition. The place where your app data was stored, separate from the SDcard media partition. With this setup the data partition now becomes the main place where your apps and users files(Music, pictures, movies, ect) are stored. The left over space in the media partition is now separate and only used by by TP Toolbox or WebOS. The media partition/volume will only be left with a small amount of free space and the majority will be given to the Android Data partition. If you keep WebOS the space will be around 1.17GB with V3.0.5 and lots of apps/preware, if you remove WebOS it will be around 600-800MB, so the total cost for WebOS is about 500-600MB.
What are the Advantages and Changes for Data Media Builds?
Data media builds change the default partition layout to more efficiently use the available space. You get a larger area for storing apps and mount an emulated ext4 SDcard on the Data partition. The ext4 doesn't suffer from the 4GB file size limit that the older Fat partition had and gives you more space for large apps. “Performance on ext4 in Android is also probably better than FAT.” The next advantage for HP TouchPad users is the updated 3.x Kernels all the new Android 4.4.x/5.x.x builds use. The updated Kernel's more efficiently communicates and allocates resources between the hardware and software.
What is a data media device?(TeamWin)
How can I go back to my old setup?
I don't want to keep WebOS installed:
Use the TPToolbox to do a complete data rest on your tablet. Install an android 4.2.2 roms, gaps, and recovery. Transfer your backup onto the touchpad, reboot into recovery and restore it. Note: You will need to make sure you have a compatible recovery installed to restore your backup.
Or
I want to keep WebOS installed:
If you wish to go back to your previous setup you can run the ACMEUninstaller2 then install just CWM and moboot with the ACMEInstaller5. You can now Boot into recovery and restore your older backup. Note: That you can use Jcsullins and Philz Touch DM-CWM recoveries to restore your older nandroid backups. Data media recoveries can see both SDcards while restoring your backups. The Data partition will show up as SDcard and the Media Partition as SDcard1.
How can I check my current Android version and System Partition size?
-Get the free app,Quick System Info PRO, to check the size of your partitions and remaining free space.
-Check your version of Android by going to settings/About Tablet/Android Version.
1)Getting started, Requirements and Preparation:
A)You must have Java and the novacom software installed on your PC before running Jcsullins Touchpad Toolbox.
You will need to have Java installed to run the Universal installer. Click here:
Download and run the Universal Novacom Installer 1.4.1. Click here:
OR
Download the Novacom files and manually install them here or here
Note: You may need to reboot after installing this software.
Note: If you're having issues getting the Novacom drivers installed disable any antivirus or spyware protection that might be preventing the app from downloading the correct drivers for your system.
B)Backup, Backup, Backup, Using the "Complete Data Reset" feature of the TPtoolbox or the "Erase USB drive" from WebOS, will delete absolutely everything on your HP TouchPad including the SDcard! So you will want to make sure you have your personal data files(music, pictures, videos, etc.) backed up on your computer. Don’t forget to move your Nandroid backups onto your PC. By default CWM backups are located in SDcard/clockworkmod/backup.
NoteMake sure your tablet is fully charged before starting any install procedure on the HP TouchPad. Running out of batteries during an install procedure will ruin the process and possibly damage the device.
2)(Optional)Time to Choose the Fate of WebOS:
Note: If you wish to remove WebOS, or have already removed it, just skip to step # 3
Before running the Touchpad Toolbox you should decide whether or not you wish to completely remove WebOS. Even if you remove WebOS there will still be around 600-800MB of space left where it used to be on the media partition/volume. That extra space will only be used for the initial install of your roms via the TouchPad Toolbox. This space will not be accessible from some roms and will only be used by the TPToolbox or WebOS. So you must make a personal decision about WebOS’s usefulness to you. Would you rather have extra free space or a second OS that is unique but not well supported?
On my 32GB Touchpad I have a maximum of 27.5GB available. With Android, WebOS(V3.0.5) lots of apps/preware and the free space required to use the TPToolbox(600MB+) it takes up around 1.17GB. If you remove WebOS the remaining media space will be around 600-800MB, so the total cost for WebOS is only about 500-600MB Click here. You will need to boot into WebOS to access its media SDcard space or use either the Jcsullins CM11 or Evervolv DM Kikat roms. Personally I like WebOS and think having a dual boot device is one of the unique and intriguing features of owning an HP TouchPad, the choice is yours.
Note: Official WebOS support ends March, 15, 2015 see video below.
-If you previously removed WebOS but want to add it back use Jcsullins instructions click here:
-If you need to bypass the WebOS activation get the tool and instructions click here:
If you wish to keep WebOS then do the following steps:
Uninstall Android and Clean up your SDcard:
A]Uninstall Android completely by using the ACMEUinstaller2, watch the instructional video below. After uninstalling Android you will automatically reboot to WebOS.
How to use the ACMEUninstaller2 (Short Version)
1)Install the Novacom software(You installed this in step 1)
2)Next place this ACMEUninstaller2 file into the Novacom folder.
-By default this folder will be located on your PC @ C:/Program Files/ Palm, Inc. Mac OS X users will find this folder @ /opt/nova/bin.
-Download the ACMEUninstaller2 file and copy and paste it right into either of those directories.
3)Boot the tablet into WebOS recovery mode and attach it with the USB cable to your PC.
Download and extract these ACME5 batch files and run the "removecm2.bat" file to uninstall Android.
Or
Open a command prompt and type the following:
On Your PC
cd c:\Program Files\Palm, Inc (enter)
novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller2 (enter)
On your Mac
cd /opt/nova/bin (enter)
./novacom boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller2 (enter)
How to enter WebOS recovery mode from Android:
-If you currently have Android installed you can hold down the power button choose reboot and select "webOS recovery mode" from the moboot menu.
Connect the HP Touchpad to your PC via the USB cable.
Or
How to enter WebOS recovery mode from WebOS:
-Reboot the HP Touchpad via WebOS rest options menu located @ launcher/settings/device info/reset options/restart.
-Hold down the volume up button while the Touchpad reboots. Once you see the large USB symbol on the screen release the volume button.
Connect the HP Touchpad to your PC via the USB cable.
B]Now from WebOS we will wipe our SDcard before the TPtoolbox can setup our partition/volumes. Completely wipe your SDcard by booting into WebOS and going to, launcher/settings/device info/reset options/erase USB drive. The Touchpad will then reboot itself and the data will be completely erased. Note:This will not affect your WebOS setup, apps or Preware.

TPToolbox Auto Installs your Rom, Gapps and Recovery(Please stand by..)
-The details of partition/volume resizing will scroll across the Toolboxes bottom output window(Bottom) and the device will auto reboot into your chosen recovery. The Rom and Gapps package will now be installed automatically, this may take a few muintes, Please stand by..... Once complete the Touchpad will restart and boot into Android. Be patient, it my take several minutes before the HP Touchpad completes it first boot into Android.
Note(Important): If the TP Toolbox fails to run several times you may get an error message when trying to mount the volume during the install. To fix this rerun the complete data reset or wipe the USB drive from WebOS.
How to change Roms or update your version of Android:
TPToolbox Method:
After installing a data media rom you can do a clean install of another Rom listed in the guide by again using the TPtoolbox. Return to step 5 B) and install a different Rom. The TPtoolbox will wipe the system, data and cache partitions/volumes and do a clean install, WebOS will not be changed. Your apps and user data will be lost but your media content on the SDcard remains the same. If you wish to completely remove WebOS, Android and all data on the device return to step 5 A) and do a complete data reset.
Note: When installing new roms the TPtoolbox will automatically prompt you to adjust smaller system partitions/volumes from older versions of the TPtoolbox(v40, v41x). For example a 700MB Kikat install will be increased to 800MB for Lollipop or a new Kitkat Rom install.
Recovery Method:
Updating your current Rom with a newer build can be done using your recovery and will keep your current setup and apps. However, this can't be done from the TPtoolbox and will require learning about a few Rom flashing techniques from my instructional update guide below.
How to Flash Install Android 6.0.1/5.x.x/4.4x Builds on the HP TouchPad
Using this Rom Guide:
-Select One of each, Rom, Gapps, and Recovery .zip files to download and install with the TPtoolbox(Do Not unzip the files).
-The Rom contains the Android operating system, the Gapps package contains all your Google apps and the Recovery allows for installation, restoration, and maintenance operations on your Android device.
-Each Rom requires a corresponding Gapps package for its version of Android. 4.4.x Roms need 4.4.x Gapps, or 5.x.x. Roms need 5.x Gapps.
-Each Rom has notes about its details and a rating for the battery drain during deep sleep.
-Three recovery types are available to choose from; each does the same tasks but the interface is different, CWM, Philz CWM, TWRP.
-For some Roms one of the recoveries may be recommended by the developers, always check their threads and read all notes.
Which Rom should I choose?
-Currently the Android 4.4.x Kitkat Roms are the most mature, stable and fully functional. I would recommend them as your daily driver.
-Android 5.x.x Lollipop Roms are in developmental but aren't as fully functional as 4.4.x Roms. The battery life is shorter and more bugs have been reported.
-Some Android 5.1.x Lollipop Roms and No Android 6.0.1 Roms may not be fully compatible with the current TPtoobox version42 and may need to be installed by flashing through recovery.
-It takes several months after the initial release of a new android version for it to become mature and stable. Please see the developers threads for the latest details about their Roms, Happy Flashing.

Extra uses for the Touchpad Toolbox:
Reflash A6 Firmware:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnWH7FhaMg4
The Problem:
HP Touchpad developer Jcsullins, has informed HP TouchPads users that there's a problem with our HP Touchpas A6 Firmware. This issue can cause an usually high battery drain during sleep. This problem occurs overtime while running both Android and WebOS. As a result the Touchpads battery drains more quickly with daily use and the overall life span is reduced. If your battery drain seems to be much higher on average, then flash the A6 Firmware to bring it back down. Users experiencing sudden drops in battery life should run this as well.
The Solution:
Reflashing the A6 Firmware effectively fixes the problem but may need to be repeated as a part of regular HP TouchPad maintenance. I would recommend reflashing it ever few months to maintain good battery health. Watch this video and follow the step by step instructions to reflash your own Touchpads A6 Firmware.
How to test:
-To monitor your battery drain history during sleep install the free app Battery Monitor Widget:
-Once installed open the app and go to history, click the heading at the top "%/h" to change it to "mA".
-You can now monitor the history and compare it to the information in my rom guide.
Mount Media Volume:
Allows you to access the 'media' volume from your PC
Resize Android Volumes:
This allows you to interactively resize the Android (and media) volumes.
This is not needed to "Install Android", but can be used at other times to 'tweak' the volume sizes as needed.
Repair Android Volumes:
If a fsck (file system check) determines that there are non-trivial errors on a filesystem, then this can be used to attempt to fix those errors.
Create webOS Volumes:
If you want to re-install webOS following a "Full Data Reset," you will need to run this prior to running webOS doctor.
At this time, re-installing webOS should only be done prior to installing Android. Tools to assist re-installing webOS after
Android has been installed (without detriment to the Android install) may be provided in the future. Full instructions for reinstalling WebOS here.
Future development and limitations:
Only Touchpad Wifi supported (not 4G) at this time, use the instructions here to install the Evervolv 4G data media build.
Support for non-KitKat/DataMedia installs very limited for now.
Re-install of webOS after Android installed is not supported yet.
Method for permanently installing TPToolbox (always available via moboot) not available yet.
The main focus at this time is providing a reliable method to install KitKat/DataMedia ROMs.
Additional/expanded legacy and/or other install types will be implemented after demand for such is determined.

Download WebOS activation package for the HP TouchPad:
Notes, Fixes and Tweaks:
Note:The following are Solutions for the most Frequently asked questions and problems.
Battery Saving Tips
1)a) Keep your Touchpad in deep sleep and reduce the battery drain by disabling Google Play SystemUpdateService:
-Go to Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard > Advanced (3 dot menu) > Google Play services and disabled "Wake up" and "Keep awake".
b)If your tablet repeatedly doesn't wake up from sleep and has to be rebooted, then do the following :
-Google Settings\Search & Now\Voice"Ok Google" Hotword detection\ Toggle the switch to off and see if that helps.
Note: This can also help to reduce high battery drain during sleep.
c)Turning off "network location services" might help to improve overall battery drain and longevity.
-Settings/location access/ access to my location set to off
-You may wish to monitor your battery drain history during sleep.
-Install the the free app Battery Monitor Widget:
-To setup the Battery Calibration correctly for the HP TouchPad,
-go to BMW settings/calibration/Battery capacity/ and set it to either 6300 (F29C) or 5800 (S29C) and tap OK
-Note* See the Battery p/n # on the original packaging.
Or
You can also use Cool-Tools to monitor your battery drain in real time.
-Watch the instructional video Here.
2)How to fix "Unfortunately Google Play Services Has Stopped"
Settings > Apps > Scroll Right to All Apps > click on 3 dots on top right > Select Reset Preferences
3) Android 5.x.x Root premission fix
-Rooted permission might be missing from your android 5.x.x rom, fix it by do doing the following.
1)Install the Superuser app on your Android device here
2)Download and flash this Superuser .zip file here through recovery to get the permissions working.
4)If you're moving from Evervolv to CyanogenMod and your TP sees and tries to boot Evervol.
- (Mpgrimm2) I have modified JcSullin's "Set CyanogenMod as Moboot Default zip to also delete the Evervolv ROM from /boot to prevent you from running out of space. Thanks to JcSullins and Flintman for the original zips and script templates.
Flash the zip after a wipe/format and before flashing a CM rom zip.
Download JCs-update-boot-cm-default_Plus-DELETE-EV .zip
5)If your Touchpad skips moboot and boots right into Android, then do the following:
-Hold the home key while booting to force moboot to display the Menu.
-To fix this problem use a Rooted File explorer, like X-plore, to delete the moboot.next file located @ Root/Boot/
-This problem is often caused by using the CyBoot app in WebOS.
6)f the WiFi turns off in Sleep/suspend mode then uncheck wifi optimization.
Note:Turning off "WiFi optimization" might help to improve WiFi functionality.
-Settings/WiFi/3 Dots/Advanced/WiFi optimization (uncheck)
-In Shumash's Schizoid build you can find it @ RomControl/General
7)You can enable additional reboot options like recovery by enabling Developer options.
-Go to Settings/About Tablet/ Tap on "Build number" 7 times.
-A new menu will appear in the Settings/About Tablet/Developer options/ tab on the left.
-Check "Advanced reboot" to get the Recovery/Boot loader options.
8)If Moboot is displaying multiple Rom or recovery names that you are not currently using, then do the following.
-With a rooted File explorer go to root/boot/ and delete the unwanted uImage.( X) file to remove the entry from Moboot.
-Here you can also change the default boot option by editing the moboot.default as text.
-Also you can change the default recovery option by editing android.default.recovery
9)If you installed Android and are unable to find the Play Store, you get keyboard errors or Android system errors , then you will need to reflash your gapps package. Click Here for the how to video! Note: If problems still persist then reflash the Rom and gapps to fix them.
Bricking, Boot Loops, Help & Fixes(Important):
If your HP TouchPad is stuck in a boot loop or not responding Don't Panic! Try the following:
-Hold down the Power and Home buttons together for 30sec to force the TouchPad to Reboot.
-Hold down the Power button and click the Home key 14 times.
-If you're stuck in a boot loop restore a back or do a fresh install, Click here for a how to Video:
-Dirty flashing older builds (CM9/CM10) over newer builds (CM10.1/CM10.2) will result in Boot loops.
-If this happens use your backup or do a fresh install, Click here for a how to Video:
-Doing an install with ACMEInstaller can sometimes result in a boot loop. Use a backup or flash the Rom and Gapps package through CWM or TWRP.
If your TouchPad seems bricked and won't turn on:
-If your battery has been fully drained, then you may need to leave it charging for a full day.
-When the battery is fully drained it can take the TouchPad a longtime to reach even the lowest battery level.
-The USB cable does not transfer enough power to effectively charge the tablet. You must use the wall plug when charging the HP TouchPad.
-After charging the HP TouchPad for a full day try holding down, home + power + volume down for 30+ seconds.
-If the tablet does not turn on after the previous steps it may be bricked and you will need to run the TPDebrick procedure found in the thread below:
Developer Jcsullins has posted a thread "TPDebrick v0.4" dedicated to helping people with bricked HP TouchPads(Important):

How and when to Use the WebOS Doctor(Important):
Q: What’s the WebOS Doctor and when should I use it?
The WebOS Doctor is a program that has two main functions for HP TouchPad users. It can either update your version of WebOS or fix problems with a damaged WebOS by completely reinstalling it. If WebOS no longer boots or apps and preware have stopped working correctly, then you will need to resinstall WebOS with the Doctor. A failed or interrupted attempt at changing the partition sizes with WebOS preware app Tailor may cause these problems. To check what version of WebOS is currently installed go to Launcher(Up Arrow)/Settings/Device Info/ Version.
Note: If run the WebOS doctor after March, 15 ,2015. then you will need to bypass the WebOS activation with the instructions here
-If you previously removed WebOS but want to add it back use Jcsullins instructions click here:

Note(Important): You MUST uninstall Android before running the WebOS doctor. Failing to remove Android before running the Doctor can result in the process becoming stuck at 8-12% and potentially bricking the device. If you are currently stuck visit the thread below for information about fixing the problem. If you’re unable to use the tablet at all follow the instructions in Jcsullins TPDebrick thread.

TPDebrick v004 - Jcsullins dedicated thread for fixing Bricked TouchPads:
Note(Click here): Running the Doctor will completely wipe all personal information, applications and preware from the TouchPad. Media like music and movies will not be affected. However I would recommend backing your important files to PC, before running the Doctor.
Note(Important): In order to install apps from the WebOS store you will need to get the Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services.
[Video+Guide] HP TouchPad Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services
How to run the WebOS Doctor:
1) Install Java
-Java must be installed in order for the TouchPad to communicate with your PC.
2) You MUST completely uninstall Android from the HP TouchPad before running the WebOS doctor. Remove Android by running the ACMEUinstaller2. Watch the following video for full uninstall instructions.
How to Uninstall Android or CyanogenMod on the HP TouchPad (All versions)
3) Download the latest 3.0.5 WebOS doctor application to your PC. If upgrading you can check your current version from WebOS by going to Launcher(Up Arrow)/Settings/Device Info/ Version.
WebOS Doctor 3.0.5 Link
4) Put the tablet into WebOS recovery mode by doing the following:
-In WebOS Reboot the device by going to Launcher(Up Arrow)/Settings/Device Info/ select “Reset options” choose restart.
-As soon as the screen goes dark hold down the volume up button until you enter WebOS Recovery mode. Note the large USB symbol that should be on the screen. If you miss it just reboot again and hold down the Volume up button right away. Once in WebOS recovery mode connect your USB cable to the PC.
5) Now you’re ready to run the WebOS Doctor app by clicking on the .jar file you downloaded in the previous step. Be sure that your tablet is fully charged and connected with the USB cable before starting this process. Running out of power or interrupting this process in anyway could brick your HP TouchPad. Please be careful and fully read the instructions before beginning.
-Double click the webosdoctor.jar file to launch the app
-Select your language then click next
-Accept the licence agreement, read the warning message then select next to begin the install.
-Be patient the process can take anywhere from 15min to 1hour to complete.
HP TouchPad Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services(Important)
HP TouchPad Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L63RiBXhQCY
The Problem:
A vital "root certificate" on webOS devices is due to expire on July 23, 2013. This certificate gives Touchpad users access to HPs cloud services for the App catalogue and Backing up the device. When the "root certificate" expires users will no longer have access to the App catalogue and backed up data. Furthermore HPs online WebOS support is expected to disappear altogether by the end of the year. So it’s recommended to backup your personal data and essential Touchpad software to your PC now.
Read the full WebOS Survival Kit Guide Here:
The solution:
Getting a free App catalog update will fix the "root certificate" problem as long as you downloaded it before July,23,2013. If you are hearing about this after July,23,2013, then you will need to first set the date to June,23,2013. To do this boot into WebOS and go to settings/Date & Time, toggle off the "Network Time". Now adjust the date accordingly and download the Update, once complete comeback and Toggle on the "Network Time" button back to on.
To get the update in WebOS go to Downloads/HP App Catalog. Open the app Catalog and select the categories tab at the bottom. Next click on the “new” tab at the top and Scroll down the page till you see “App Catalog Update”. Now install the update and your Touchpad support will continue to work in a post WebOS world.
Note: You may get a message saying the installed failed but this is incorrect. You just need to reboot the tablet into WebOS and the patch will be installed.
Note:This update requires webOS 2.1+ to be installed. Devices with older versions will need to run the WebOS Doctor first, the latest version is 3.0.5.

Additional WebOS Performance Tweaks:
I would highly recommend doing the following tweaks. Read the full instructional guide in the link below:
HP TouchPad Setup Guide Part 1: Speed Up Your Tablet With Preware, Homebrew & Patches [WebOS]
Download and install the following packages from Preware:
You should see a noticeable speed improvement while using WebOS. Also a few apps to improve functionality.
Note* You will need to reboot the device after installing most of these packages:
-EOM Overlord Monitoring
-Muffle System Logging
-Remove Dropped Packet Logging
-Unset CFQ IQ Scheduler
-Unthrottle Download Manager
-Increase Touch Sensitivity and Smoothness 10
-Quiet Powerd Messages (sic)
-Faster Card Animations HYPER Version
-Advanced Rest Options
-Disk Cache Mod
-Unhide Developer Mode Icon
-Reduce Minimum Brightness
-CyBoot
-Ad Blocker OR Max Block – Do not install both.
-Private Browsing (adds an option to your browser)
Reduce Logging & Patch ‘em Up:
This patch require you to log into Skype with the "Phone and Video Calls" app.
Once there place a call to this number using the dialer type: "##5647#"
A logging window will launch, choose to "Clear Logs" first then "Change Logging Levels" and setting logging to "minimal".
Once done, exit the app – your logging levels are now changed.
If you have never used Preware you can watch the 2nd video about Flashing the HP Touchpads A6 Firmware to get it installed.
You will also learn how to use the WebOSQuickInstall-4.5.0 software to install Preware.
Both of these procedures are highly recommended and can be done as part of your post-apocalyptic WebOS Survival.

Battery Brick / Discharge Prevention
Is it still recommanded / necessary to use an automated shutdown app, like automateit, to prevent the battery from total discharge with the new 4.4.4 ROMS? Is there still any risk of a battery brick, like it was reported a lot of times in the past?

I've seen a few people ask this on YouTube but no its not a problem anymore and the tablet won't become bricked if it runs out of batteries. Follow Itshuta advice and flash the A6 every few months or so and you should have good battery life and longevity :highfive:
The thread has now been updated to inculde android 5.0 Roms and Jcsullins TPtoolbox v42

Thank you Roland for the update.
As my tablet is running smoothly for the moment, do you think the upgrade worth it ?

There's no really hurry to upgrade, the Kitkat roms are nice and mature now. I like to try out the new interface and features, however I'd stick to Android 4.4.4 roms for a few months till Lollipop gets more mature. I'll be posting updates about the roms as I get them tested
I'd recommend trying the Pac Rom below.
[ROM][OFFICIAL][KitKat 4.4.4][TENDERLOIN] PAC-man KK RELEASE [DEV] By Shumash
Note: Kernel 3.0 and 3.4 builds are available
Kernel 3.0: Low to medium battery drain(-5mA to -20mA), Antutu Score=12000+
Kernel 3.4: Medium battery drain (-30mA to -60mA), Antutu Score=13000+
Rom Details: h/w video, Audio, Camera, Bluetooth, Inverted volume controls, PAC Console (OTA updates), PAC Performance settings (overclocking, custom governors and schedulers), Increased 2D & 3D GPU clocks up to 320Mhz, Increased default CPU clock from 1188Mhz-1512Mhz, overclocks up to 1782Mhz, Great for Gamers.
Note:Using the lock screen may cause SOD(sleep-of-death), disable it by going to Settings->Security->Screen Security->screen lock=none.
Note:Hold down power and home together if the screen is black(SOD) and you need to reboot.
Note:This Rom can see both SDcards

Can't install drivers for HP touchpad on computer
Hi guys,
I recently flashed to this rom using the TPtoolbox.
Everything works fine except that when I connect it to my computer it can't install the drivers.
I'm running WIndows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I really want to add movies on to my Touchpad..
Any ideas??

Try another cable

Please specify which rom you're using. Try using a different USB cable, the one that comes with the tablet often stops working. You can go to the win7 device manager and see if the HP TP is detected. Failing that there are several apps you can use to transfer files over the WiFi.

Thanks a lot, Roland, got that and worked like a charm. I could successfully install on a TP WIFI and on a TP 4G, very pleased with both so far. Only little issues with a Logitech Bluetooth headset not working well with Skype. Works perfect with Music / Internet radio. Searching on for that
Do you have any information for/experience with a TP Go installation? Does Toolbox work? Does 4G Tenderloin work?

Extra uses for the Touchpad Toolbox:
Reflash A6 Firmware:
The Problem:
HP Touchpad developer Jcsullins, has informed HP TouchPads users that there's a problem with our HP Touchpas A6 Firmware. This issue can cause an usually high battery drain during sleep. This problem occurs overtime while running both Android and WebOS. As a result the Touchpads battery drains more quickly with daily use and the overall life span is reduced. If your battery drain seems to be much higher on average, then flash the A6 Firmware to bring it back down. Users experiencing sudden drops in battery life should run this as well.
The Solution:
Reflashing the A6 Firmware effectively fixes the problem but may need to be repeated as a part of regular HP TouchPad maintenance. I would recommend reflashing it ever few months to maintain good battery health. Watch this video and follow the step by step instructions to reflash your own Touchpads A6 Firmware.
How to test:
-To monitor your battery drain history during sleep install the free app Battery Monitor Widget:
-Once installed open the app and go to history, click the heading at the top "%/h" to change it to "mA".
-You can now monitor the history and compare it to the information in my rom guide.
Mount Media Volume:
Allows you to access the 'media' volume from your PC
Resize Android Volumes:
This allows you to interactively resize the Android (and media) volumes.
This is not needed to "Install Android", but can be used at other times to 'tweak' the volume sizes as needed.
Repair Android Volumes:
If a fsck (file system check) determines that there are non-trivial errors on a filesystem, then this can be used to attempt to fix those errors.
Create webOS Volumes:
If you want to re-install webOS following a "Full Data Reset," you will need to run this prior to running webOS doctor.
At this time, re-installing webOS should only be done prior to installing Android. Tools to assist re-installing webOS after
Android has been installed (without detriment to the Android install) may be provided in the future. Full instructions for reinstalling WebOS here.
Future development and limitations:
Only Touchpad Wifi supported (not 4G) at this time, use the instructions here to install the Evervolv 4G data media build.
Support for non-KitKat/DataMedia installs very limited for now.
Re-install of webOS after Android installed is not supported yet.
Method for permanently installing TPToolbox (always available via moboot) not available yet.
The main focus at this time is providing a reliable method to install KitKat/DataMedia ROMs.
Additional/expanded legacy and/or other install types will be implemented after demand for such is determined.

I have WebOS in one partition and Android 4.0.2 in another. I only want to upgrade the Android version and leave WebOS intact. I tried the CWM method but that failed. Which option do you recommend for ToolBox for my situation? If I choose "Install Android", will it only touch the Android partition only or will it also wipe the WebOS parition? Thanks.
Can I use JCsullins snapshot 4.4.4 Android for this install?

I am using ACMEUninstaller2 but novacom can't find my device. I checked the services and it is running.

Did you install the novacom software in the OP? Are you in WebOS recovery mode? Have you tried a 2nd USB cable I see you posting over in the TPtoolbox thread so I assume you've taken the time to actually read the OP and have figured it out by now. Make sure your using compatible recovery files with TPtoolbox v42, everything you need is linked in this thread. Happy flashing

Hi
Thanks for this tutorial and combo helps. It was a bit convoluted but got it done. it can help to have a very mini review at the top of the initial posts which explains the basic purposes of the steps. There is just too much informations which is great.
So I have pacman rom running. Now how do I go ahead if I have to update the roms regularly? Do I need the Hp Tool box again> Or I have to drop to recovery like it is done in other roms?
Btw on Linux the novacom is installed under /opt/Palm and that is where the user has to run it from
thanks

Postmarketos for Amazon Fire 7 HD (2017) (Austin)

Working ebuild for installing postmarketos on the Amazon Fire 7 HD (2017) codename Austin
Amazon Fire 7 (2017) postmarketOS Armv7l Mediatek MT8127 Mali-450MP4 600x1024 display 1GB RAM Linux 3.10.54
What seems to work:
Boot Touch screen Battery percentage Usb internet OTG usb Wayland, Mate, Xfce4, Lxde, Sxmo, i3wm
Does NOT work:
Wifi & Bluetooth (no drivers) GPU acceleration (drivers do not work) Audio Sleep and fully turning off the display Screen rotation Wifi adapter does not work even with drivers and kernel support, mobo support issue(?) FDE Cameras You tell me
Special options: *Must be flashed to USERDATA partition as system partition is too small
msm-fb-refresher packaged is added to the depends to make the screen refresh. After flashing the device must be booted into recovery once. From the recovery it is to be powered off and booted and then as normal. This is because the device depends on the AMONET exploit which is applied by twrp after every flash.
Flashing Instructions
This assumes that you already have linux installed and the bootloader on the tablet is unlocked. Don't worry if it looks complicated. If you are unsure of something ask on the postmarketos matrix or leave a comment for help.
Install pmbootstrap as stated in the postmarketos wiki, does not matter which options or device you pick.
Once that is done download and drag the two folders in the git repo into "/home/YOURUSER/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports/device/testing/" also displayed as "~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports/device/testing".
Run pmbootstrap init and select amazon as manufacture and austin as the device, mate, lxde, xfde, are confirmed working.
Run pmbootstrap install
Boot into twrp and wipe all partitions including data
Boot into the hacked bootloader from the twrp options
Run pmbootstrap pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata (system partion is too small to flash!) and once it is done flashing run pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
Unplug the device, wait 10 seconds and then hold the power button. Once it is powered on YOU MUST boot it into twrp at least once as it needs to restore the AMONET exploit, until you do that the device will not boot.
Issues
If something does not work such as the display rotated wrong or device not booting just comment or open an issue, I changed the rotation of the display in the kernel options to horizontal but i did not test the effects as I already have android with books on it.
Reinstall android/lineage
Simple as cake, just boot into twrp wipe all partions(some will fail), you may need to resize and fix until it starts working. You just need the system and data partitions to be reformated to ext4 even if they already are. Then just flash the lineageos zip file and reboot the device normally(amonet is fine)

Good luck. Tell me if the display works if you do install it. Thanks

hexdump0815 cleaned up the config file, use his fork if you are going to install.​

Is it wifi working? It'll awesome

Unfortunately the drivers for this SOC are nonexistent so nothing works. WIfi and hdmi adapters don't work, but OTG does. Hexdump made a Debian and Ubuntu image for this tablet, it is great but the tablet is mostly useless without WiFi and GPU support. You can also flash the main image to the userdata partition instead of using an SD Card, but if I remember correctly the rootfs won't auto extend. It would have been great to use this as a linux tablet, however this SOC is uncommon and is not supported by any Linux maintainer. https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/releases/tag/211101-02

Thanks for new information. I'll searching around
I think we can find firmware it out on /dev/mmcblk---

I looked at the firmware dump on github, it is all proprietary and seems to be compatible only on android. The closest I got to getting working wifi was moving the original libs and networkmanager bin to linux however it only showed wifi working for a few seconds without detecting anything.

I'm working on this device right now. I just downloaded the repository below, and I will make a pull/merge request upstream soon.

I have my own fork of the pmaports repository at https://gitlab.com/Worldblender/pmaports, where I will push your files (eventually with my changes) to. Maybe we can work together on getting this tablet supported upstream, if you still want to (anything else that isn't working, like the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, will have to come later).
UPDATE: Well, I'm going to use https://github.com/hexdump0815/pmaports-amazon for the config now, didn't notice it the first time around. I also noticethat it's possible to get Wi-Fi working with https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder-firmware/blob/main/tablet_amazon_austin-firmware.tar.gz, that I will try out with my builds soon.
From https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/tree/main/systems/tablet_amazon_austin:
wifi seems to work by using the android firmware and tools in a minimal android bionic chroot env
wifi can be stated via /scripts/start-wifi.sh
uncomment the start of this script in /etc/rc.local in case wifi should be enabled by default
wifi support was added in february 2022, so all images from before do not have it yet but it can be added easily afterwards

You could package the wifi hack into an Alpine Linux for firmware package if you want. Debian 11 runs really well, to bad we can't get everything working.

Will work on that soon. I just got a build to boot today, and basic functionality seems to be working. I'm going to try a different distro for accessing more functionality (likely Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04) I just opened up a merge request at https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/3251 for the progress on upstreaming.

I'm thinking about using the exact same kernel that the LineageOS image uses:
https://github.com/cm14-mt8127/device_amazon_mt8127-common
https://github.com/cm14-mt8127/kernel_amazon_mt8127-common
This kernel has been updated to 3.10.108, and it's the last one for the 3.10 branch. I'm going to try creating a new build using this kernel, and see how it goes.

UPDATE: Three patches would not apply successfully for this kernel:
fix-host-card-inserted.patch
silence-power-logspam.patch
silence-thermal-logspam.patch
After building without these patches, the kernel boots, but it stays stuck without being able to process further, with some kernel messages displayed. I wonder what I should do to get this kernel working, or if this one shouldn't be used.

Use any kernel you want. It literally does not matter as it cannot be mainliner in the future anyways. It makes no difference what you use.

Here's my results after building and boot it:
There are some kernel messages that pop up, and the splash screen never appears. It doesn't matter whether there is a microSD card inserted or not; there seems to be too many changes made to it from 3.10.54 to 3.10.108, along with additional changes that are designed more for Android/LineageOS usage. Finding every one of them is too much work for me.
Three patches would not apply successfully for this kernel:
fix-host-card-inserted.patch (will apply successfully once the entry for line 271 is removed)
silence-power-logspam.patch
silence-thermal-logspam.patch
Again, after building without these patches, the kernel boots, but it stays stuck without being able to proceed further, with some kernel messages displayed. I tried building without any of the patches shipped, but the end result is still the same. I need some help as to what what I should do to get this kernel working, or else I will go back to the 3.10.54 kernel that I know is actually booting to the splash screen. Here, I don't care whether I use a mainline kernel here, since I know the SOC is not supported by mainline. I simply care that I can get a newer kernel version working (from 3.10.54 to 3.10.108), unless there's too many changes for me to go through.

Just use the stock 3.10.54 kernel. Both versions have long since been EOL. It does not matter what is used as functionality will still the same, both now and any future development. I would not bother upgrading the kernel to 3.10.108. Hexdump told me a while back that somebody else maintaining a similar soc on the mainline branch told him that mainlining the device is almost impossible due to some proprietary components by Amazon. I am not entirely sure as to the validity of this claim but I think that it is not worth the effort of upgrading the kernel of this device. Check this page for more info, I found it to be very helpful to my port. https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Amazon_Fire_7_2015_(amazon-ford)

[waits eagerly nonetheless]
This is a solid old device in a lot of ways. I'd love to see it supported by PMOS.
