Thank you both. It took two days, but finally it booted into android! Though I do need to find the right charger as the charging is extremely slow right now. Hopefully one of those old Samsung chargers can give the right charge.
[TouchPad General] thecos77:
Wow dude, thanks for posting this heater trick. I was getting multi error and no signs of life from the TP. I tried tpdebrick 004 and 005. v005 has an autoreset option which loops. I set it to autoreset and started heating the back of the TP with a blow dryer. it cycled a few times then the TP went out of QDL mode which means it reset. Some progress!

So then I tried tpdebrick 16 and it gave multi error, tried again while heating above the USB port area and it still gave some the "qfprom fuse list: blowing failed" error but the files it was pushing started to load! It was working. It loaded all the files, however the script got stuck at "waiting for fastboot mode" The TP never went into fastboot mode I guess and tpdebrick aborted.

This managed to get me the side to side blinking home button light. I plugged in the barrel charger and waited, it never got warm. I left it to charge, the flashing light stayed on, I went to sleep overnight. This morning the lights were off and the TP showed no signs of life. Unplugging and plugging it back in does nothing, lights do not flash anymore. I guess I have to run tpdebrick while heating again...

Definitely closer than I was before using the heat trick but still not debricked. I'm starting to think the battery is bad because when I pick up the TP a spot forms on the screen about 2 inches above the usb port, possibly because the battery is swollen?

Anyway, if you have any suggestions please let me know. I'm about to give up on this TP.
[TouchPad General] jaycee147:
Heating

I heated the whole of the back.. The motherboard area especially which if you have never opened a Touchpad up is roughly about a third of the tablet from the camera inwards. Each one i have got to the flashing lights has come back to life.. Maybe running it through the debrick again may help.. at least if you do it should give you what battery levels are at the end of the process.. if the battery is swollen normally you will see what looks like a water mark on the screen .. where the swell in the battery is pushing against it.
[TouchPad General] thecos77:
Yes I also heated the whole thing but was holding the hair dryer in the center a bit below the HP sign. I get a small watermark if I'm holding the tablet wihtout the case on, it goes away when I put it down. Strange that the lights came on but after charging it's back to being dead. I'll try again today but I'm not holding my breath. TPDEBRICK doesn't finish successfully for me, it gets stuck at waiting for fastboot mode. Never saw anything about battery levels.
[TouchPad General] jaycee147:
Fastboot

Are you using the version of Tpdebrick i used.. just wondered if not whether the fastboot tools are being installed on the version you are using.
[TouchPad General] thecos77:
I used both tpdebrick v004 and v005. I installed fastboot prior to running any tpdebrick version.

Now I have a swollen battery. 1" wide spot on the screen and it's not going away. It looks like my battery was bad and heating it up made it worse?

Chinese replacement batteries are $35 on eBay so my TP adventure is over. I wont be investing that much in this really old tablet plus the time to change it, rather than buying a newer tablet when I need one. Thank you for your help.
[TouchPad General] jaycee147:
I dont think heating up the case externally would have swelled up the battery... however it may have started to take some charge to make it swell.. Keep looking on ebay i found a few here in uk for about 8Uk Pound.. might be worth just keeping a look out for one.
[TouchPad General] thecos77:
Yea can't say for sure why it swelled up now but I suspect it was already swollen to some degree. I would see that "water" point come and go, on the screen when I handled the TP. Will do. Thank you.
[TouchPad General] ZeroZorro:
Okay, finally some time to try out the steps described in post #128 (thanks [MENTION=10800685]jaycee147[/MENTION])

I found one step that needs a little edit (for those following to the letter):

36) Then "cd tpdebrick"

should be:

36) Then "cd tpdebrick-005"

Everything works, but i get this error:

No.. not out of luck,,, you are at exactly the stage when I started to warm up the rear case of the touchpad... keep warming it gently..(mine w

as using a small office blow heater but hairdryer possibly as good) after every few tries whilst getting the error unplug USB connector at the retry.. it should then ask for "please hold Power+Home etc.

The Blowing Failed does that everytime regardless and is not a problem .

[TouchPad General] dizzymon:
I have a 32gb touchpad that recently failed. I tried all the combinations of pushing and holding buttons, trickle charging for a few hours, but no luck. So I took apart my 16gb one which was working and fully charged battery. After swapping each component, found that the mainboard failed. If the mainboard failed is there anyway to extract the data? I assume not since everything is soldered on. I guess I can take a hammer to the old motherboard to properly destroy the data before sending it to trash.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The battery of the 16G was place on the 32G and that did not help?

Did you try swapping the LCD screen of the 32G with the 16G?

The screen can go out and there is no way to know if any inside components are working. The Tablet can be working but if the display is broken it will be just the same as a dead motherboard.

There is always a way to fix motherboards and get data out, only if is extremely important. But normally if the motherboard died is gone.

About 2 months ago, I took one of the Tablets that I use to connect to the OBDII of the car outside. I forgot it on the back, of the car's trunk. That day rain a lot, I was not aware the tablet was out. The next day I found it all expose to the water.

It was time to experiment. I got the hair dryer and tried to get it dry. When I turn it on, it came back but the screen was not as bright. I should have turn it off, but kept going.

The screen was very dim, so I decided to open it and see how much water was inside. There was not much water, but sure there was water trapped in the LCD display.

I got it all dry using the drier but water was inside the screen, which eventually die. I did not know if the Table was on or off. I got another dead tablet and swapped the screens and it has been working since then with no issues. Lesson learned, check the screen for errors.

Good luck !

Where you are in the script ... you should see a box pop up showing you are connected to the server for downloading files.. check every step you are typing in.. there are also lots of posts about issues like this explaining in more detail on jcsullins tpdebrick on rootzwiki.
[TouchPad General] dizzymon:
My toddler was playing minion rush on it and it suddenly died even thought it had a full charge before I gave it to her. The 32GB tablet has been having a tough time powering up in the past and I thought it was the battery so one of the first things I swapped out was the battery to see if that would fix it, when that didn't work I started with all the things I could swap out (charging port, power button, LCD screen, display board, main board).
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Did you swap the motherboard ( mainboard ), only?

The attached screenshot are of two Tablets:

1. My original that I got in the fire sale

2. A second hand used tablet that I bought.

Both are running WebOS and the Dr. Battery App:

Click HERE for the Dr.battery App on WebOS Nation

This is the only graphical way to know the true battery health on the Tablet.

Tablet (1) has full capacity same as the first day when new. ( I always keep the battery full charge at all time, even when not in use )

Tablet (2) has half the capacity at 100 % charge.

Android does not provide the true battery health as it needs to communicate with the A6 chip controller.

To find the true capacity of the Tablet read this post:

Click HERE to find the True Battery capacity ( Health )

Tablet (2 ) does not last long as the capacity is half. If you have a Tablet that shows 100 % charge in Android and all of a sudden shutdown, there is a possibility that the battery has very low capacity left ( poor health )

HP TOUCHPAD DEBRICK Linux Live CD

I have created an Ubuntu Live CD with all the necessary files to Debrick the Tablet from TP Debrick v005 by jcsullins.

If there is any Tablet that did not finished the flash process, run this Live CD and perform the Debrick again.

If you do not know the Tablet model do the following:

Flash using the 16 GB, then connect to charger. If the home LED does not come on after some time then.

Flash using the 32 GB, then connect to charger. If no LED light then

Flash using the 64 GB.

All process must finish in " ALL DONE "

[TouchPad General] CalcProgrammer1:
The heater trick actually works! I had this issue several years ago and gave up, got a new motherboard on eBay. I ran into the issue again today and thought it was done for, but with the hair dryer pointed at the back of the tablet for a few minutes, it gets all the way to fastboot. Now I'm confident that the boot process is working, but the script doesn't handle modern Linux very well. The usb0 interface gets renamed so I'm adding some workarounds for that.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
All lithium-ion polymer batteries are affected by temperature. I always suggest to charge the battery in a warm environment of over 80F, otherwise it will not take a charge. A Tablet that has been neglected on colder climate for years, the battery is DONE.

The process of debrick has nothing to do with the battery, is not going to bring a completely depleted battery back just by re-flashing a firmware. Whe the process finish at fastboot, there needs to be some battery charge remaining for the next step that is flashing the bootie. If the battery is completely dead the process can not continue. Take a look at this youtube video of the all the process in detail:

At mark 2:26

A wire connection is established and the bootie-topaz305.bin is transfer to be flash. That is the firmware (bios) that makes the Tablet boot into moobot to select the OS. The Tablet can have a full battery, bu if the bootie-topaz305.bin is damage it will not boot. That is why after it gets reflash the Tablet boots quickly, but it has nothing to do with the battery.

There is no need to do any workarounds, everything works. Just download the ISO and boot it on a PC and it will work the same as in 2011.
[TouchPad General] pas7771:
Hello HP_TOUCHPAD,

Thanks for this new tpdebrick live cd work great.

My past problem was a bad battery, so I ordered one from China and put it in place did a charge for couple days and nothing so I tried TP Debrick v005 32 and I'm getting an "netchip not found aborted"

does it mean It's done no more revival?

Thanks
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
You are welcome!

Are you using the original HP charger?

Does the LED light blink when charger connected?

The Debrick re-flash the bootie ( this is similar to the Bios on a PC ).

It has nothing to do with the battery. If the battery does not have any charge meaning is completely empty, there is no possible way the tablet will turn on, even after doing the Debrick.

When the bootie gets damage, the battery will charge but the tablet will not boot. After the Debrick the bootie gets re-flash and boot with the already charge battery.

Bad bootie ( no boot ) Tablet acts dead.

After Debrick, it boots ( the battery must have some charge )

Bad battery or damage motherboard nothing will ever happen ( will not boot no matter what )
[TouchPad General] pas7771:
Thanks HP_TOUCHPAD for replying.

Yes I have the original HP charger and a Touchstone charger too.

No there is no LED light blinking.

I think the battery I got was not fully charged.

I could do the Power - Home - Vol Down and it would work for tpdebrick.

a couple of time.

now nothing, look like the battery has no charge. and it won't connect with the Power - Home - Vol Down sequence.

I will let the tablet in the charger for more time (week) and try the process again.

I do have another touchpad working very well with no problem at all.

I could take it apart and use the battery but the process will break clips and unfortunately will damage the touchpad.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
You will have to do some troubleshooting.

When was the last time the Tablet was working?

How did it stop working?

Did the old battery bulge? It could have created internal damage.

Flashing the bootie ( debrick ) will only fix a problem that is " software ".
[TouchPad General] pas7771:
This was a spare tablet I gave to my mother in law, but she used a bit and left it alone.

When I got it was frozen on an image of Android, and the battery discharged.

the original battery was all right when I took it out but now when I replaced it was stuffed.

I'm not really sure what happen. As far as I know the battery discharged.

It's no big deal as I have another original touchpad from the firesale.

I can keep it for parts.

I will try a few more time after the battery charge a bit.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
If it was frozen with an image of Android, then the battery had some charge, otherwise the screen can not be ON.

The battery must be FLAT and the Tablet must snap close evenly.

From my experience:

Tablet sometimes can freeze, using any ROM. If the Tablet is frozen it will not charge even if place on the wireless charger or using USB. Eventually if not force reset before the battery drain completely, the Tablet will be completely dead and not even respond to charging.

To force reset, hold Power + Volume Down ( key closer to Home ) and Home all at the same time , leave it press until it re-boots.

If the battery was drained ( empty ) , then also do the force reset while connected to the USB charger, and release until the Home LED start flashing.

Probably the only thing that you had to do was a hard reset while there was the Android image on the screen and then charge it.

If after replacing the battery is stuffed, then it was not put together properly. Also the original battery could be fine.
[TouchPad General] pas7771:
I did make use of an external 3.7v battery to power the touchpad.

The debrick script always stop at "netchip not found" or fastboot not found. (using your ubuntu iso)

tried numerous usb cable and different usb port and still the same.

my guess is a hardware malfunction now.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Using an external battery does not work. There is the Palm A6 charging controller attached to the battery. If the tablet does not detect the controller, it means there is no battery and will not boot even if a battery has full charge. Take a look at this post:

https://xdaforums.com/t/hp-touchpad-poweroff-prevents-battery-drain.4002265/page-5#post-81075317

Are you using the ubuntu ISO on a bare metal PC? meaning no virtualization? ( is not going to work in a virtual machine )

Look at the you tube video what happens on the netchip.

The only way to find out is to open the other Touchpad and swap the battery. I know some clips will break but is no big deal it will close tight again, just be careful with the rubber seal.

If the other full charge battery boots the tablet then you know what is it.
[TouchPad General] pas7771:
I'm booting the ubuntu ISO direct from a usb drive. so it's clean.

I agree about open the other touchpad to swap the battery.

the new battery I brought fell to 2.5v and got impossible to recharge.

Just like the other one that is stuffed now, I did dispose of it but kept the A6 controller.

Do you think I can charge this new battery (already under at 2.5v) in the perfectly fine touchpad?

Thanks so much for your help.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Then it should work, you can try the Debrick with the working touchpad and you will see that it works.

Do not worry no data will be lost, it does not touch the internal storage.

That will be the only way to find out for sure what is going on.

The most important is the A6 controller and is good you kept it. The tablet or any battery device can be run with an adapter as long as is connected to the battery controller. This power supply should work with the A6 controller and power the tablet for ever!

AC/DC 5V 6A Power Supply Adapter Transformer Charger 1x

https://www.ebay.com/itm/254721908915?hash=item3b4e9be0b3:g:C4YAAOSwh61fY90V

Yes you should be able to charge it as long as the battery is not damage.

Make sure it is in a warm room of 80f-90f. Use the wireless charger and do on/off ( intermittent ) charging many times during the day or when you can. About 2 minutes on, and 20 seconds off, repeat 10 times every time you got the time to do it and always leave it charging. Once the LED light start flashing is all good.

Every time the charger is connected it delivers a little more power for the first time, this will force to wake up the battery.
[TouchPad General] pas7771:
If I may ask, where do you plug the + and - from the AC/DV to the A6 controller?

Thanks
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I did get an AC/DV and connected to an A6 controller from a bad battery ( same as you did ). It must have been 2 years ago that I played with it and made the connection as shown in the picture ( same from previous link ). Red positive and Black negative, I have not tested it as I have been waiting for a tablet's battery to died, so that I can do the experiment. Then the Tablet will be a plug-in, just like a PC. Do not try to force charge the battery ( bypass the A6 controller ).

Only use AC/DV connection with no battery. I am not an expert, so you must double check and make sure the connection is correct.

Hello HP_TOUCHPAD,

I just did an AC/DC to A6 controller like the picture above but without the battery of course. I got good voltage.

I could use the debrick tool as much as I can (restart... ect) no problem, but it always fail at "Fasboot not found.." changed cable, laptop, but it's a no go after this point.

I hate to take apart a clean touchpad just to see what part is wrong.

I just gona keep everything and when the other give me problem I will troubleshoot.

Thanks for your help and effort.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The AC/DC has to be exactly ( output 5v 6A ) otherwise it will not work. Is not just getting voltage, it got to be that in specific.

If you look at the youtube video ( is screen capture of the process and it will be the same to all Touchpads )

The script by jcsullins, resets the Tablet and place it in WebOS recovery mode to load the TPtoolbox-Headless ( meaning the different version of the Toolbox with no graphics will be loaded ( headless ) no monitor (LCD display on the tablet )

Fastboot fails to load as the tablet does not have any energy to start the CPU and load the toolbox into memory.

Do the debrick on the good Tablet and you will see exactly the same process that is shown in the youtube video.

The bad Tablet does not have sufficient power to start. The engine of the car will not start if the battery does not have the proper charge to turn the engine. The CPU and all the components needs energy to function.

The Debrick process is not related to the A6 controller or battery, it re-flashes the bootie.
[TouchPad General] pas7771:
Thanks again for never giving up...

Got your message, I will get one with your exact specific. and try again.

I will let you know.

Thanks
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I want to make sure that this is clear. I have not personally done the test with the AC/DC, in theory should work the same with any cell phone or tablet. Before you spend your money and time do some testing on the other Tablet.

Run the Debrick on the good tablet and the outcome should be exactly the same as the youtube video. It will proof that your connection between PC and tablet is working. If not then there is a problem there.

Get a charge battery install on the bad Tablet, if it does not work then it may be hardware related as the motherboard or something else that can not be fix. Getting the AC/DC for a damage tablet will not solve anything, but for a working Tablet will extend the life for ever !
[TouchPad General] geearf:
Hello,

I believe many years ago I had a problem, not sure if it wouldn't charge, or just start, but I was able to fix it with some software. Maybe it was tpdeblock? Not sure anymore, but just in case I tried it again. Alas it ends up with this:

I did it on a 64b current Linux distro, but I read here that it's not best, is that why? I'll try the live CD instead.

Also since the first failure with tpdebrick, the home button does

not flash anymore so I feared it was bricked dead, but tpdebrick does see when the unit is plugged or not, and when I've pressed the buttons or not, and then it does its full routine till above failure, so probably not.

I would appreciate any idea on this.

Thank you!

I usually got things to work in windows. I haven't bricked mine but spent a lot of time on windows flashing it quite often with different roms.
