Hey Guys,

So..... I'm trying to fix my friend's TouchPad and having no luck what so ever. I'll describe the problem the best I can and then tell you what we've tried so far.

In a nutshell, it seems almost like the drive inside the touchpad is write protected.

I can delete and add files no problem but if I either

Restart Luna: It does a sort of "half reset" and start acting weird. Preware might not work properly or sometimes the app catalog won't connect. Plus all the icons rearrange themselves to their factory setting with my downloaded apps (both store and preware) being bundled together under the downloads tab.

or

Restart Touchpad: Any changes made during the previous session get reverted back to a point about a week ago (not factory default). Everything from icon positions, apps installed to even content on the touchpad. For example I could delete a movie or a song from my library, restart the device and the file would reappear. It's like it reflashes an earlier image of itself. (Skynet has become self aware?)

So here is what I've tried so far.

Full Erase: Nothing happens. Device restarts and we're back to square one.

Secure Full Erase: Same thing.

WebOS Doctor: Doctor starts up... I click through the screens, progress bar appears. Usually somewhere before 28% Doctor just quits and says it had an issue resetting my TouchPad and to go to the support page. The support page is useless, just tells me to re-download and restart/connect both my devices. Which I have done.

(I'm also using the latest version of WebOS Doctor and the ToucPad is on 3.0.2)....

I also tried running WebOS Doctor from Dev. mode (Hard Reset TouchPad and then hold Power+VolUp)

When I restart the device after a WebOS Doctor attempt, things revert back to the same state as before.

help? :(

ps: The touchpad functions fine otherwise. Everything runs it's just....stuck....
[TouchPad General] Deuces:
did he have 3.0.3 and/or the chomper android ipk installed?

if so, the kernel could be stuck on there. i'd try going back to 3.0.3, install chomper 0.1, uninstall through menu (NOT THE X-OUT UNINSTALL), and then try another doctor (3.0.2 or 3.0.3 shouldnt matter)
[TouchPad General] soneracar:
to be honest i don't have to much know how with tablets. my guess is if you have issues with webosdoctor

you have hard drive issues. maybe googling hard drive problems will eliminate that.
[TouchPad General] lehel.babos:
Just triple checked..... not on 3.0.3 (he's running 3.0.2) and no chomper/android ipk....

He did have the Warthog Kernel OCed at 1.7ghz installed. Though that ran perfectly fine for the the last few weeks. We just tried uninstalling the kernel just to double check and see if it has any effect, but no luck. Still back to previous state after restart, with Warthog Kernel back in place.

Update: Just flatout reinstalling the stock kernel on top does nothing either.
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
Have you tried membooting the device off a kernel you ripped from webOS Doctor?

http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/How_To_Recover
[TouchPad General] rpracing:
webOS doctors reinstall
[TouchPad General] r00tb33r:
I have the same problem as the OP. Also running 3.0.2, updates fail, doctor fails. Nova booted the image extracted from doctor, can't write anything, can't wipe LVM. It's like the whole thing is write protected.

If anyone finds a solution, please post!!!
[TouchPad General] Solidus_n313:
try reinstalling novacom drivers, also, try just rebooting the pc, you'd be surprised how often that works (i had the same problem, rebooted, was able to doctor with no problem after that. seems like you have to hard terminate the connections)
[TouchPad General] r00tb33r:
TouchPad says it can't umount the log volume (as a matter of fact it can't even mount it to begin with), so its entirely unrelated to any computer the doctor runs on.

Eh, if only doctoring was the key. I'm not able to make persistent changes to the block device or the filesystems while I am working in a terminal, both the developer mode in WebOS or the nova booted rescue image. System executes write commands, but then I check things didn't get written.

As for computer, HP made me do doctoring on two different computers. Unsurprisingly the result was not any different.

HP is taking their sweet time to call me back from Level 3, personally I'm quite ready for the replacement, as at this point I am certain that I won't be able to fix it short of opening it up, and programming the flash using other means.
[TouchPad General] adrian1988:
I just found that i have the same problem. Worst of all, it seems it's doing this on cyanogenmod also. I have android and webos on dual boot, tried to erase the android part with ACMEUninstaller, after reboot android was back. Erased the cm particions with novaterm, same result after reboot. I would really appreceate some help please, really desperate ...
[TouchPad General] rai177:
I have the same problem with my touchpad. do you find any solution.
[TouchPad General] ski_nerd:
I also have the same problem and I've ignored my Touchpad for months as a result. I read somewhere that a person with the same problem got it replaced by HP under warranty, but that was a long time ago.

I got the itch to work on this problem again. I will report any solutions I discover.
[TouchPad General] asif9t9:
You guys ever figure out this issue?
[TouchPad General] tahawk69:
read only

A friend of mine has the same read only problem on her touchpad, and she doesn't have android or has never tried installed android. I tried factory resets and webos doctor and nothing works, after reboot it reverts back to last known good configuration. I haven't tried to do a complete data reset through the tptoolbox v41, has anyone tried that method? Any other ideas that may work, or is this really a hardware issue? Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamtheculprit2:
Hey guys. I have two questions - First, I bought Minecraft Pocket Edition, and today the icon on my home screen changed to the one like when you uninstall something but don't take it's icon off the home screen. Problem is, I didn't touch it. It says installed in the market, and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it happened again. It also doesn't show in my app drawer. anyone else have this issue?

Problem #2 is that when I boot my phone, it will ring with the generic ring tone until I drag down the notification bar. Not really a huge problem, but it's pretty annoying.

Thanks, guys. If you think the minecraft issue is the app not the phone, I'll post it somewhere else.
[HTC EVO 3D] daggablade:
I love the Eternity Rom 1.3, but Beats Audio will not show up.

I have Wiped 4 times delvik and user, and 4 times factory reset before installing this rom.

Anyone else getting this problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Did you plug in your headphones?
[HTC EVO 3D] daggablade:
So it wouldnt work over bluetooth headphones?
[HTC EVO 3D] daggablade:
Pluging in headphones didn't work either .
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wond3r:
I have read that when going to a different rom to do a full wipe.

So clearly if you want to keep your apps you back them up and recover them with titanium backup, but why is it advised to not restore the Data of the apps?

How else would I keep game scores and settings and such?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morepower71:
restoring the data for the user apps is fine, don't restore the system data...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
that would be a bit of misinformation that gets spread around.....

its fine to restore user apps+data. i have been doing it for a long time with every device i have. swapping between devices and all.

do a batch restore MISSING apps+data

unselect anything that might be blur/sense/touchwiz specific (based on the phone you are using)

run the batch and reboot

verify you are not having any FCs on your apps

if you do a batch restore of just user apps+data (and not the MISSING option) you will get tons of issues.

it is not advised to use Titanium Backup for things like text messages, contacts, phone logs, etc. (while possible it will work just fine, i have seen lots more issues trying to restore those from rom to rom rather than just user apps.)

again. use the MISSING APPS option in the batch restore of Titanium Backup

i have been doing it for over a year on many different devices and i even share my titanium backup folder between different phones, with NO issues at all. and i typically flash several times a week on several different devices.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paschalis:
It is advised to do full wipe, if you install a rom.

And if you want to keep your settings, games scores etc, you use Titanium Backup.

Titanium Backup is your friend in those cases..

What is not adviced, is installing a Rom, without wiping your data.. In that way, you keep for example data of apps and games, of a froyo rom, to a gingerbread rom..

Rom to Rom differs(even in same android version), thats why you full wipe, and then TiBu saves you by restoring them, to the new rom's enviroment..

Edit: Agree with others.. I was typing on atrix, and since i wrote this, they already answered! :p

Also in atrix, NEVER restore FINGERPRINTS backup..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wond3r:
That explains it. Ive seen MANY posts where users tell other users to restore apps but not restore data but dont specify they mean system data and not app data!

Also, when people talk of a full wipe, do they mean even deleting the contents of the internal storage (like photos and such?)

This would be for going from one ROM to another ROM, both GB
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morepower71:
No they are talking about doing a "wipe data/factory reset" in CMW and not physically deleting your internal sdcard. if you delete your sdcard then you will wipe out data that you need including your titanium backups
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wond3r:
Thanks ! I always feared that the wipe data/factory reset pretty much deletes all the files on your device like photos and music
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
The short answer is force closes. Which also can happen from restoring app data, altho it is less likely to happen, it can and it will. But yea def dont restore system data.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wond3r:
Is there any other way of saving game saves?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
You can use SyncIt or GameOn, you can even back it up manualy with Root Explorer. You should be fine with TiBU, just if you do get a force close you will know why and what to do (delete data and/or uninstall/reinstall).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyCazoid:
I am having an issue restoring my app data from titanium backup. The issue first occurred when i switched from a stock ROM to CM7 ICS ROM. When i restored my missing apps+data all of my app data had disappeared. I just started over and didn't worry about it. Then when i switched from CM7 back to a stock rom I received my old apps+data from before i switched to CM7. I read around on the forums that this might be a compatibility issue. So i started to use the setting in the batch menu "Manipulate data and converted my backups to roll back journal mode which says this works with all roms, and started uploading to Dropbox. I recently just switched my Rom from a stock ROM to CM9 ICS. I lost all of my apps again!!:mad: and got back all of the app data from when i was using CM7. Could someone please shed some light on what is going on here cause i have no idea. Please let me know if there is anything i can do to get my app data into CM9 from my last stock rom. The stock rom i was using was an old ROM called wet dream.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pre4speed:
The stock rom uses a different back up location than cm roms. You will have to manually go find the data backups in tibu. Don't bother having it auto detect, wont work. For example, all my backups were at mnt/emmc/titaniumbackup instead of the stock roms location of mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyCazoid:
Looks like that was the the problem. I saved my backup on drop box so i just dropped what was on dropbox in my titanium folder and restored it. I now have all of my app data back.
[Dell Streak 7] salgalvan:
Hi,

First off I bought my T-mobile branded Streak 7 from Craigslist a week ago before Dell announced that only the WiFi and unlocked Streaks would get 3.2! I was soo MAD!! So i posted my Dell on craigslist for dirt cheap on October 7th at 5:00 p.m. When I got home all on the sudden at 9:00 p.m. California time I got a notification that an update was available!! I proceeded to jump up and down and hit the download the update!! I went through all the steps and I have an official 3.2. streak T-mobile version!! I bought it from someone who stated it was new and I only used it on WiFi, So I thought I would be skipped on the update. Guess only the t-mobile version's that were activated on t-mobile are affected?

Battery life is still the same and most of my apps work, except NetFlix!!

Anyone else rocking the official update on there t-mobile?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
What rom version do you have? It was likely updated with a wifi/retail rom and not a tmo one as they dont exist
[Dell Streak 7] Nyflyboi:
Ok im lost u have a branded tmobile device and you got a official hc up date from dell? How the hell.
[Dell Streak 7] chrisrotolo:
does it actually have the Tmo logo on back of device?

even then could be faked... just syaing.. I hope its legit..

if so please PM TheManii.. he will be interested.

This might be great news!
[Dell Streak 7] salgalvan:
Hi,

Ya I it came in the official T-Mobile box and paper work, and the T-mobile data only sim!! I took my sim outta my Dell Streak 5, which is also on T-mobile and it worked! But when i tried to browse the net I keep being re-directed to the T-mobile site!! It does show the 4g logo and edge too when I'm out of range. (My Dell Streak 5 I bought from Craiglister who bought it in Australia so I have been using a T-Mobile sim for years!
[Dell Streak 7] salgalvan:
I'm guessing cause I was to lazy to get a t-mobile broadband plan. I was using only with WiFi.. So it was never registered with t-mobile. That's my best guess. I will post a photo of the info tonight.
[Dell Streak 7] salgalvan:
It is 3.2 along with the Dell Stage widgets. Listen guys I have no reason to be pulling anything over on anybody.. I was so Mad when I read on Dell that all but t-mobile streaks would be updated. I promise I'll post more info tonight.. I was No F@#! way when I saw the update notification! :eek:

Ya it is the WiFi Retail honeycomb version! Every T-mobile app was missing, like Blockbuster, t-mo tv, but I can download them from the market.
[Dell Streak 7] cootertwo:
???????????????:confused::eek:
[Dell Streak 7] chrisrotolo:
this is likely that unbranded update posted on streaksmart. Like you said If the device has never been registered on tmobile... but how would they actually keep track of this for the update... hmmm I dont know. But congratulations buddy, make sure to pm The Manii in case this is something new.
[Dell Streak 7] salgalvan:
Photos added.

Hey everybody! Well I add some photos, but let me know if I should add more!
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
That's the unbranded US 4G one, you cant officially flash it from the previous tmo roms
[Dell Streak 7] AdComa:
By unbranded, do you mean the one that hasn't the "T-mobile" decal in the back?

because i have one that doesn't have the decal in the back, but it IS branded "t-mobile" (i have the T-mobile SIM and everything).

is the same?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I mean the rom, the Tmo s7 is the only physically branded device dell sells.

I'm talking about the rom as it's region 30 which is "dell" or "US" region

Tmo roms are 33 which is "tmobile" region roms
[Dell Streak 7] Smurphjw:
Isn't the point that it got sent to his tablet in the first place?
[Dell Streak 7] salgalvan:
Thanks Smurphjw! My point was only that I got the update and nothing else! So maby T-Mo users might get the update too, with out having to root. I understand that the rom is unbranded, but Dell was clear that only WiFi Streaks would gt the update.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I seriously doubt it was on an unmodified device as the update script in the pkgs only checks two things before installing:

1) If the device is a streak7

2) what region it is (out of either "tmo (33)" "Boss (00)" - which is what the EU regions use" and "US (30)")

The flashable zips I released only did two things: remove those two checks and remove the modem updates
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
I have a quick question. Since all you did was remove the checks and modems, why can't one just change the zip file to update.pkg and use the stock recover to flash to HC? Why does one have to install CWM and then install the zip?

Or just change the region to (33), and then we can use the package without CWM? (I know, it is probably too simple, or it would have been done this way already).
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
The stock recovery decrypts pkgs, that's what makes pkgs different.

If you simply renamed the zip to pkg it would try and decrypt that and would end up with garbage. The stock rec has no options, it will only "decrypt the pkg" -> "attempt to flash decrypted pkg". Only way to flash something with the stock one is to first encrypt it correctly so it will decrypt it on it's own

Changing the region requires modifying the recovery image, which has already been done with links on the update guide
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
OK, thanks for the explanation. I'm still on Froyo, but I may update at some point. It seems pretty clear, and easy except for having to get CWM on the S7.
[Dell Streak 7] salgalvan:
I seriously doubt it was on an unmodified device as the update script in the pkgs only checks two things before installing:

The flashable zips I released only did two things: remove those two checks and remove the modem updates

If you look at the photos I posted under the firmware it shows I have the US 30. I never posted trying to tick anyone else off. I never modified my Streak, but I give up, because apparently I'm lying according to ThManni. I only wanted to post my good news, and give some hope to others. When I bought my Streak it came in a sealed box with all the plactic on screen and back of unit. Sorry to all who dought me when I say I never modified my streak at all.:(
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Im not saying you're lieing since the pics show you have 506 installed, the most likely reason is that if it happened the way you said it did was that the wrong rom was loaded on it.

It's happened before, if you had made a backup of your rom before installing it, it would either explain how or a version that we're missing otherwise.

Every now and then dell ships back a device with the wrong region installed on it.
[Dell Streak 7] rafaelmldias:
I installed the HC 3.2 on my T-mobile, just follow the topic of TheManii but would like to thank your topic, for that after seeing the photos I plucked up courage to try.

Sorry for bad English, I'm using google translator.

The topic was the files I got this: [Guide]New HC Rom: 506/507 + Installation Instructions [Including US 4G]

Hi everyone...

I'd like to ask you all help...

why is my alarm clock not showing like this anymore...?

View attachment 745886

it just shows a lockscreen type of alarm app

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
Have you applied a custom rom to it??

Maybe because of a software update... I'm on 2.3.4 it still has something similar except its no longer buttons but drag bars... this maybe because of my rom/theme though

Thanks for showing me i never really noticed, always been too sleepy :D

I have just tested this and read that image. I'm sure it never used to be an increasing ring on the normal alarm, only on the smart alarm... weird
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres_scb:
I do have a custom ROM, however,I think that even in stock ROM it doesnt show me like i posted before.

But tonight, I will give it a shot and install an official ROM to see if it solves this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres_scb:
nothing... I've installed an official ROM and it still gives me the lockscreen type alarm...

HELP...!!

Anyone...???

This is a Leaked Android Market 3.2.0 ICS. You can download the others versions of ICS apk who's leaked for our phones and tablets like new Google Music and new Google+ from Ice Cream Sandwich (click here, if you want).

So this isn’t the usual easy to download and just simply install over the previous version type of deal so it may take a little trickery to get it up and running — so do this at your own risk.

Instructions:

*You can try to install this .apk over top of your current market, but it may not work. If it won’t, then you will need to be rooted and follow the instructions below.

1. Download the file (Phonesky.apk- 2.46 Mb) to your SD card.

2. In Root Explorer or ESFile Explorer, find the file you just downloaded and copy it.

3. Move into /system/app and hit the R/W button to mount – then paste the file.

4. Find Vending.apk and rename it to something like Vending.apk1.

5. Long press on Phonesky.apk and rename it to Vending.apk.

6. Afterwards, long press on it again and choose “Permissions.”

7. Change the permissions to this:

8. Press “OK”, reboot and enjoy the new market.

Give it a try and you should have the latest Android Market, the same instructions should also work on all Android tablets too. You may run into some permission issues and will have to change a few things using root explorer if that is the case so head on down to the source link for full details.

Nothing to change on the UI.

How can i change it
[HTC Desire S] Helluuum:
i like the new version
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
new UI not working eventhough I've replaced the original Vending.apk with the ROM before flashing.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
I've got no problem with it. Have you installed as I'm writing in OP
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Nope. I replaced the Vending.apk directly to my ROM zip file before clean flashing the ROM. This should update it without needing to change permissions or anything. Should be much better than manual installing.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
It's good if you are going to flash a rom just at the moment. If you aren't, you must install manualy....lol
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Yeah, again the new UI doesn't work for me.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Have you used my process for install it. With it I haven't got any problem
