[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RolandDeschain79:
That says notes the other says known bugs, clearly not the same thing. You'd be less confused if you bothered to read through the CM11 thread. Better yet ask in that thread about what the issues are. If you look at the date on Milaqs bugs post its Dec 30th, so maybe that post needs to be updated. It says "you tell me", I already told you in my post but you want more, so go read about the things people list in that thread. However if you need a working Camera and BT then get Milaqs CM10.2 Rom.

What are the next steps, are you serious?? There is a full step by step video on the first page....Try reading the first page. You could do either a clean install or a dirty flash, since you're upgrading to the same Rom type.

Also in the OP, while your updating get the latest versions of moboot_038-tenderloin.zip and ClockworkMOD 6.0.2.8. Flash these files through recovery.

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 Clockworkmod to Format/Wipe the system data and the cache partitions. 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.

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.
