[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TopTongueBarry:
Requested Information

darkspr1te ,

WE APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AND THANK YOU IMMENSLY - Need to make sure you are on the correct page though. I don't think you realize we are not dealing with an android based OS, it is webOS, so other than webOS Touchpad's with Android installed as a dual boot, webOS devices don't use /sdcard for their storage. The root filesystem is linux based and

the equivilent to /sdcard on our touchpads is the /media/internal directory

- jcscullins on xda and rootzwiki has tested your method successfully as have I - he is working independently to try to create a method based on your process that works to rebuild the touchpad and pre 3 devices. Can you please try to contact him? Once you and jcscullins have had a pow wow, I believe a path to resolution of this problem will be short for us touchpad and pre 3 owners with devices that only access QHUSB-DLOAD mode...

- I have used your brixfix process to get into one of the HP devices. The device shows up as an unformatted sdcard to windows with a device type of 9025. - HP Touchpad's and Touchpad GO's generally report device type 9008.

- That said,these devices also use novacom drivers (Palm/HP) to connect. there are two uImage files. One is used to boot into recovery mode, You cannot even get into the device to pull this information unless you have developer mode enabled that's the equiv of rooting in Android.

Recovery partition Image -- 'bootie" -- novacom based -- nova-installer-image-topaz.uImage

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE

TTB :)

In the following directory listing, anything with moboot, ClockworkMod, and CynogenMod in the file name are added mod's to support ICS booting and running from /media/internal/sdcard. Anything with tenderloin in the file name relates to the original palm/hp webos boot infrastructure.

Finally, I cannot post links yet, so I recommend you head to WebOS Internals and download the webOS doctors ver 3.0.5 for the Touchpad. That's the equiv of what you refer to as firmware. Pay attention to any reference to "Novacom" that will clue you into the bootloader process on these devices.

That and your pow wow with jcscullins ..........
