[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trugate:
that's me

Hey kklown, I'm the guy from that thread, just started searching around once more to make sure nobody's figured something else out, and sure enough nobody's been bullheaded enough to plow through it yet.

I still want to invest into a JTAG box of some sort to recover my touchpad, and a hard bricked Evo 4g I still have. I will look you up when I get one (should be within the next few months) to keep you posted with progress. At the very least, it would be nice to know whether or not it's doable.

Anyway, if anyone knows anything we don't, be sure to speak up on this thread or the one I started at webosnation.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
I'm thinking about getting a Li-Po charger just to keep trying to charge the batteries and hope that it will eventually work. I have 2 batteries now so it wouldn't hurt to charge one and plug one in for testing.

If you do get the JTAG to work I'd be willing to ship mine to you and pay you for your work.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trugate:
Well, for me, I could leave it plugged into the wall charger that came with the touchpads, and it was definitely charging. I tested this by propping the touchpad's power and home(center) button so they were pressed, and left it for a few days (rebooting consistently when I left it). When I came back, absolutely no response from it, put it on wall charger. After a few minutes I unplugged it and rebooted by holding pwr+home, and it only had enough juice to show the battery question mark for one second before turning off the screen.

FWIW.

I'm waiting for my barely used Droid Razr to sell, and when it does the money from that will go to a JTAG box. Anyone want a mint Razr for ~275? :) haha.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sw339:
I wonder if this has something to do with not charging the battery to 100% on first use. Was that the case with of you? Just a thought.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trugate:
I've got the cash finally, going to make sure I have the right JTAG box before I purchase. Will update when I get it.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
Awesome to hear. Hopefully this will be the answer to our problems. Please keep us updated on the progress and procedure.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trugate:
For sure! Ordered a Riff Box tonight from Hong Kong via eBay, should be here around 5/11-16... should be fun to mess with.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wishkah420:
HP replaced my touchpad, their tech support sucks I had to give my credit card info to someone overseas and even tho it wasn't charged I had to do it to send it in. After an hour or so arguing with the dude I gave him my number and he then submitted the ticket. They sent me a box and pre-paid next day air label and the whole process took a week or so before I received my replacement.

The issue I had (Battery Symbol with ?) Occurs when you let the battery drain to 0 while booted in Android, doesn't matter what ROM you're on so don't cuss out our great devs.

The (Preventative)Solution: Use an app like "Tasker" to shut down your device at 5%.

I actually haven't accomplished this tho... Tasker confused me lol. I doubt every ROM dev is gonna include this "power off at 5%" "feature" because everyone wants to sip every last % of their battery. Maybe a flashable mod could be made or something but that is beyond me since I couldn't even figure out Tasker.

If you CAN'T send it in to HP for replacement then the jig stuff you guys are talking about is probably your only hope.

I went and bought some JTAG equipment, and I'm ready to dive in.

Does anyone know what my target is to read from good touchpad / write to bad touchpad, or perhaps willing to share bin files,etc they may have access to?

Ready and willing...make me able! : D
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
Well I tried manually charging my batteries again.... I don't have a Li-Po charger so don't know if that would fix things. It does charge the battery I am powered up again but still have the battery with ?.

I figured out that the gold button on the mother board is a shut off switch. If you hold it for a few seconds the device will shut off. Sometimes it will also turn the device on but so far it's been very unpredictable.

I'm going on vacation and really wish I was able to fix this thing so I could watch some movies on my almost 6 hour flight. Guess I'll have to resort to my Motorola Atrix with LapDock.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trugate:
Good info about the gold button! I went and re-read some of a thread on webosnation about where the touchpad expects the battery firmware to be. Totally forgot that it was on the integrated flash storage... so if that's the issue, getting the file on there is the easy part, IF I can figure out a way to interface with the integrated storage.

That's the next piece to figure out anyway. Don't think the JTAG box will be used for that, but who knows, haven't found much info for reading/writing from embedded storage directly. I'm hoping that with the right pinout and maybe extra parts, I can use it as a usb drive or something.

Will come back with info soon.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trugate:
Had some time to crack the TP open, found the JTAG contacts, looking up info on that. Sounds like some NANDs are supported and some aren't to read from, and that's the only way to read the embedded flash to get the new firmware on there.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trugate:
I can't find info for the JTAG pinout on the HP Touchpad. If I get this info, I can move forward. I've requested it in a few different forums related to JTAG or the Touchpad, but I'm not experienced enough to discover the pinout on my own. Anybody else find that info?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeCriggs:
I remember having that issue with my Palm Pre Plus. It's a WebOS indication of a defective battery.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trugate:
If you actually read the thread, you would understand that it's not the battery in this case. :)

It's either another hardware issue or that during boot it can't find the firmware. Hence me asking for JTAG pinout.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddyponchero:
gold button

I wonder does the gold button change it to qualcomm debug mode, if you have yours open now try plugging it into the computer and see if details with lsusb change.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalones:
If you will plug your touchpad and start the charge process. In a few minutes, once it has received a minimum charge it will go to the boot options. Select WebOS and allow the touchpad to fully charge. There are some of the android OS' that will not charge below a certain percentage.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
That's the problem, it does not charge in this mode. Please read the entire post. Still have not found a solution to this problem.

The gold button seems to be some sort of power button, not sure it's unpredictable.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshwizkid:
Thanks trugate for your research and hope someone will find the resolution.. following the webosnation and xda-developer thread
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
I've left my touchpad charging for a week at a time. On an OEM working Touchpad charger, a lower amp BlackBerry charger. Both are working chargers. Still nothing from the touchpad.

I plugged it into the computer and got into the developer mode but nobody knows how to effectively flash a new boot loader to the touchpad. I feel like that's going to be how to revive these affected touchpads. Just waiting for someone who has the right utilities and files to share their knowledge.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfrezee:
Same problem here... A new battery and still dead. :'(

Ddi you find something about this issue ?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
I haven't really messed with it in a while... Probably going to try to purchase an HP Touchpad with cracked screen and use my working screen. Then I'll have a few extra parts lying around.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pannik:
I have the same issue...
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete.Delgado:
I can unfortunately confirm that this happens in webOS too. I have two touchpads and one of them is giving me this behavior. Bought it with a Visa card less than 2 years ago so I'm going to have to contact Visa in order to get it repaired (they extend the warranty up to an additional year).

[Edit]

OK So I set up a claim with my Visa card company and while I was thinking about it restarted the Touchpad as the support person I spoke to at HP had suggested (power + middle pad 10+ times till a reboot) and even tried placing it back on the cord power adapter. Nothing changed. The Touchpad either showed the battery icon with question mark or the touch bar flashed left to right when it was on a power source indicating that there was a problem.

I accidently left the device it on a Touchstone charger *sideways* while I left for a few hours and came back and the stupid thing has decided to start working again! Weird!!! Now I have to cancel the warranty claim with Visa. I'm going to wait a couple days to see if this is an intermittent failure, but for now it's working again!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
Good to hear yours all worked out. Wish I had a touchstone charger I'd give it a shot nothing to loose. I've tried almost everything else.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
Have had my Touchpad on a low amp charger and OEM charger alternating for almost a week now with no luck. Don't know why I still have the thing. Just hoping someone finds a way to fix this problem.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinato:
I value all your posts and efforts. Good luck to you!

I am eager to see if the touchstone would get you running, if you are still interested on spending more money on it at all.

amazon has a decent deal for one at ~$28
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
I think I might just wait and find a cheap touchpad on eBay with a cracked screen and use mine since its near perfect. I'd also like to have a spare to see which part is bad.... try to replace one board at a time and see what works and what doesn't so everyone else may have a clue on what spares to buy.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Remolten:
I have this problem too...

Has anyone figured out how to flash to the Touchpad's integrated flash memory (via JTAG or any other method)?

Check out this thread we have been working on this a lot.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I had this problem come up today. Turns out there was just some stuff stuck in the micro USB port, I cleaned it up and reinserted the micro USB charger, and the question mark on the battery went away and it started up fine!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcoRital:
Hello !

I FINALLY FOUND THE SOLUTION TO FIX THAT PROBLEM WITH THE "?" ICON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN.

In fact, it was very simple but you have to be patient.

First of all, you need to follow this thread => rootzwiki.com/topic/38786-tpdebrick-v004 (jcsullins is a very talented person)

You will "debrick" your Hp Touchpad, and yes it can fix the "?" issue, at least in my case it fixed it.

To debrick the HP Touchpad, you will need to be on Linux Ubuntu. No need to install it on your hard drive, just create a bootable USB stick.

Just follow the step by step intructrions right here: ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

You can find the ISO there: ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Then boot on it, select "Try Ubuntu" and follow the tpdebrick-v004 thread.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelsobarrett:
fix a brick hp touchpad

it happens in webOs as well, but at least you can access usb port with comp to use webdr, but when your fire up webdr it recognizes touchpad and it say you must have 30% power before using it, so that doesnt work either.. webdr speed charges your touchpad as well.. #%&! foiled again.. so this guy on youtube has this reset deal you can manually remove the BRICK characters from your tablet that allows it to boot back up.. its a lot typing which i dont do fast.. be nice if it were cut and pace like some rooted phone by comp help guides.. the key is did you dual boot your touchpad and can you get the comp to at least see it, to use it.. fix a bricked hp touchpad

[Motorola Droid RAZR] UnderZone7:
hey just got the rogers(canada) variant of the moto droid razr and I have some questions. I just rooted using the zergrush method in the development section of this forum. now I am wondering how do I update to 2.3.6 because I don't want to wait for rogers to release their branded firmware. I'm fine with using other countries firmwares I just need to know if all of the functions will work. and how i can flash it.

thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
first off, our Rogers only works with LATAM (latin america) ROMS... not EU ROMS...

and AFAIK, they also don't have 2.3.6 yet.

IMHO, don't bother with 2.3.6. Verizon got their sandwiches on the 4th. Canadian shouldn't be that long now...

Ok so like a few others, im confused about the 3 files. So each one is a different launcher...ok cool

So is each one a different version of the motoblur launcher? or is only one of the 3 files the motoblur launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] jason2302:
This is awesome and I'm about to try it out. BUT, could you try to port the Motoblur launcher that's in the Gingerbread ROM for the Razr? That one is a lot better in my opinion. I always wanted that launcher for my Nexus haha. Thanks :)

are we sure motolauncher.apk is a working file? it's only 8kb's???

im so confused, which is which....you have a link to download "homescreen.apk and others...i think the OP might need a little cleaning and explaining of what is which...

cheers for the port though ! =)
[Android Apps and Games] Haloruler64:
Using an AT&T Galaxy SII on LPE ICS firmware.

MotoAtLauncher.apk does not work. Threw that in alone, does nothing.

Threw in homescreens.apk and Launcher2.apk and now I have Homescreen as one of the options. So I assume only homescreens.apk worked. Just my two cents.

I hope this leads to us getting Blur widgets! I quite like the version of Blur on the Droid 3 and RAZR. Also hope we can get a selectable homescreen. I'll keep this aroumd, thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] sefirosu0522:
Ok so what would you call placing these apks in /system/app, fixing the permissions, rebooting and getting stuck at the Samsung logo on a boot loop and not being able to get into recovery? Hmm, sounds like a brick to me.
[Android Apps and Games] Franky_V:
That's called "being stuck at Samsung logo". A BRICK is definitely more invasive and serious than installing a bad apk or being stuck at the logo. It's a difference in true meaning. Technically you are right, but that's not the INTENDED use/meaning of the term

The Op has made only one file that works.

Still won't explain why there are extra files to download, also they almost seem to refuse to explain why, as proven in a response to someone asking what all the extra files are for.

I believe i've given up on this one purely based on the OP's attitude and lack of doing anything...
[Android Apps and Games] Insidious:
Excited to see this come together. I'm having some issues though. I was able to install homescreen.apk is a standalone app but I can't move any of the three to system/app. It always says copy failed. I am rooted, and on 4.0 and have the prerequisites, so do you think it might be a device specific thing? I have a Rezound btw... Should I try installing through adb push? Thanks for working on this though, I happen to like the new blur.

Moved to system/app. Configurated the permissions. Rebooted the phone.
