[TouchPad Development] Nappyloxs:
I keep gettting the "no supported recovery file found" when trying to install android. I have also gotten the no ROM file found or 2 rom files found.

I am not a completely noob, but can't figure out where I am messing up. I am on W7, I did a complete data reset, reflash A6, resize android volumes. I have tried both CmW/Philz from post #3. I have tried to rename the zip files according to the video and instructions. I have tried adding the extracted folders, etc... I am installing them in TTinstall, ejecting, and unmounting. I tried JCS CM11 and the recommended Gapps. I also tried pac-man and renamed as directed. I am completely confused as to what I am doing wrong.

A few pages back someone had a similar problems (post #243) and reported that they had "incompatible zip files" I am not exactly sure what he meant by that.

Thanks

Fixed.

mac help?

not working on my mac has anybody gotten this to work successfully on mac osx

solved: navigate to novacom folder in terminal after downloading the toolkit files and placing them into the same folder then i clicked and dragged the script into terminal
[TouchPad Development] vqstaphbeard:
Same goes for Linux.
[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
On Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) I just navigated to the toolbox folder with the terminal and ran sudo tptb_v40_nix.sh. Worked like a charm.

I have the toolbox folder in my Downloads directory but it could be located anywhere.
[TouchPad Development] vqstaphbeard:
Apologies, I wasn't clear. I was referring needing to navigate to folder in terminal, then running script from terminal. I don't use Windows, but what I gathered from instructions, all one needs to do is double click the script.
[TouchPad Development] Soulripper180:
Yea double clicking DID NOT work for me on the Mac kept getting device not connected no matter what folder the script was in but once I put it in the same folder as my Novacom click and dragged to terminal and everything worked just fine... even changed to bin file to a uImage so I can run it from the actual touchpad without the computer
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Right now, TPtoolbox looks at the way the files are named. If they don't match exactly what toolbox is looking for, you get the "incompatible zip files" message. Sullins lists in the OP exactly what file names will work. I have seen someone who wanted to use some oddball gapps zip and after he renamed it so toolbox liked it, it installed fine.

Update: I am now aware of a fellow who is building an ASOP Rom who used TPtoolbox to install his KK 4.4.4 by changing the name of his Rom to one that toolbox accepts.

Yes he is. Just updated TP #3 to data media and removed WebOS.

Couldn't be easier...

Thanks JC
[TouchPad Development] kwoodham:
Thanks

Just want to say thank you for putting in the time to make such a great tool. I've been running CM9 forever and thought that it was about time to launch into the arduous task of updating to 4.4.2. I was prepared for following detailed scripts of unmounting/mounting and resizing partitions, etc... When I ran you toolbox - I was flat amazed and found myself saying "that was it?".

Great tool - beautiful OS. Thanks again for your hard work.

Problem using Toolbox to downgrade to CM10.2

I used Toolbox to successful wipe and format my TouchPad to remove previous CM10/webos config and install CM11 on it without webos, worked fine but one of the features I was looking for (restricted profiles) didn't work. Therefore I'd like to try CM10.2, I did a Complete Data Reset in Toolbox, and repeated the process of installing CM10.2 but after I copied over these files to ttinstall:

cm-10.2-20140818-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin.zip

gapps-jb-43-20130813.zip

update-PhilZ_CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317.zip

Unmounted and then Toolbox gave me the message: No supported ROM file found. Aborting.

I tried adding update to the front of cm10.2 and gapps but that didn't change the message. What am I doing wrong? Given the error message looks like something is wrong with the CM10.2 filename? BTW the volumes were previously resized for CM11 kitkat, I assume those sizes will work fine with CM10.2.
[TouchPad Development] Atari-San:
Oh that seem great for being able to downgrade to Shizoid or ICS with Sixaxis support, thank you JCSullin. ^_^

BTW. do you think you can add in a future version an option to delete the old shared sd card of WebOS/Android Legacy ? It is not really something required anymore without WebOS or after initial install with this tools. Normaly, i delete it right after android boot from the nova-installer-image-topaz.uimage from an old topic.

Do you think you can also make it compatible to install the old Ubuntu (non touch) version for using some specific app on the go. Thank you. ^_^
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Sounds like you need to try again using Sullin's new TP Toolbox.

NT

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

Interesting, the .bin for this version is only a few kilobytes larger than v40, so renaming it uImage.TPtoolbox(or whatever name you want to use) and placing it in the /boot folder(volume) should work just like it did with v40, as long as you do the complete data reset that removes WebOS.

NT
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
Thanks for the update.

Flashed your newer data/media recovery which helpfully tells you that it is removing the previous version. Also replaced version 40 with 41 in my boot folder and reflashed A6 firmware. Everything went smoothly.

PS Will the op be updated or have a link to your latest version?

Thanks again jcsullins for the work you continue to do for our now aging but still great tablet.

[TouchPad Development] swear0730:
Thanks so much for your hard work JCSullins. My daughter was in the hospital briefly and we were able to quickly move her Touchpad from CM9 which was gathering dust to CM11 using the TP Toolbox(v4.0). It was great that she had it to use and because its so easy I didn't have to worry about the work even though I could not give it my full attention.

I tried v4.1 last night on my friends TP which v4.0 could not fix (referenced above). It still couldn't revive it but I did get a new error!

Running Complete Data Reset: "Error: Invalid partition info: end-gap greater than 1 percent of mmc"

Any thought of getting that pesky end-gap back under 1 percent? (Ok, I have no idea what that means but I'm hoping you or somebody out there can help.

TIA
[TouchPad Development] mindfulness:
Yep, latest TP Toolbox fixed that error, thanks JC!

However restricted profiles doesn't work in CM10.2 either. The search continues...

Update: I tried installing Evervolv 4.3.1 BT test 20140129 mbt3.8 cminstall.zip but received an unsupported ROM zip error. Then I tried ev_tenderloin-testing-2014.01.29-4.3.1.zip and got unsupport zip file errors on the recovery, I tried multiple recoveries (CWM, Philz) none of them worked.
[TouchPad Development] imhawaii:
TP toolbox

Awesome.. been on CM 10 forever and decided to take the plunge. It's like I have a new device! faster, smoother, and even the display looks better.

A big THANK YOU to the team and JCS!.

One minor issue: first run of Toolbox - i did the wipe and full reset but then came to install and my PC did not see the device (didn't 'mount'). I tried a few unmounts and remounts to no avail. I panicked a bit but a reboot into recovery again seemed to fix it. After that, smooth as silk.

Thanks again
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Based on your first post, I suspected the cause of the errors with your friend's TP was incorrect partition info due to using tpdebrick with the incorrect size for his TP. So, I developed tests to check for that.

The "end-gap greater that 1 percent of mmc" means that the partition information is for a "smaller" TP than what it really is (i.e. partition info for a 16G but it's really 32G). Technically, it is possible to rebuild the LVM volumes using the smaller size, but you would lose a large chunk a space, so I decided to give an error so it could be corrected.

Re-running tpdebrick using 32 for the size will likely fix it (unless they happen to have one of the rare 64G units).
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
That first zip you mention is an "install pack" that includes the ROM plus other stuff; those are not supported.

For the recovery, (with v41) you must use one of those linked in the v41 post.

Each of the supported recoveries have either "dm" or "nodm" in the filename. Since the ROM in question is a non-datamedia ROM,

you will need to use one with "nodm".

Also, make sure to do a "Safely Remove Hardware" prior to unmounting the USB from the PC.

If you still have problems, please post "screen capture" of an explorer window showing the files inside the ttinstall directory you are using along with the exact error(s) you get from TPToolbox.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Were you using v40 or v41 of TPToolbox?
[TouchPad Development] Pinan:
jcsullins: You're probably one not much for accolades, but thank you very much for bringing us Touchpad Toolbox v41.

I've been following/using your work for several years now. This tool made changing the partitions in my TP 4G a breeze.

So again.... thank you, sincerely!
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Sorry for what is probably a dumb question, but using the new JC Sullins TWRP (datamedia version). How do I find emulated storage (need to find and install latest Milaq ROM)? All I can see if the "legacy storage" on the SD. Thanks!!
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
After you select "Install" ... toward the top, just under "Select Zip to Install" you should see something like "Storage: Legacy Media Storage" .. select that .. then you can select "Internal Storage" and then "OK"
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Hi JC, it only seems to allow me to choose "Legacy Media Storage (604MB)" under "Select Storage:"

After that, I am not seeing anything close to "Internal Storage". Just a bunch of file folders under "/". Starting with "and-sec" and ending with "tmp". One of the files is "sdcard". Under that folder I see three file folders: ".android_secure", "ttinstall" and "TWRP". And the only folder with files in it is the one called "ttinstall" and it has three files: CM-11-20140704..." , "gapps-kk-20140105", and update-twrp-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140512" zips.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Sounds like you installed the Non-DataMedia version of TWRP.

If you select "Mount" and then "Mount USB Storage" you should be able to copy the DataMedia TWRP to the TP download from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/2c2cssc6f2e5miy/update-TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612.zip

Remember to "Safely Eject" or "Safely Remove" on the PC before selecting "Unmount" on the TP after you copy.

Install that.

Then, reboot, re-start TWRP and see if you can now change to "Internal Storage".
[TouchPad Development] Moody66:
More amazing work from JCSullins!
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Geez, I just checked my downloads and I did download and then flash the wrong (non data media) TWRP. Arggh. I am guessing I need to go the PC transfer route to be able to place the correct TWRP in the Legacy Media Storage location (correct?) so that TWRP will be able to find and flash the zip, correct?

Gee, my day just got worst. I connected my TP to my PC and its not recognizing my TP.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Hmm, now that I think about it more, if you download on the TP, you could probably select "Install" and then "Up a Folder" until you can't anymore and then select "data" then "media" then "0" then "Download" to get to it.

If nothing shows under "data" you may need to go to "Mount" and select "data" first.

I wouldn't try to do anything else until you've installed the DataMedia version of TWRP.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Thanks JC, for diagnosing and suggesting a successful fix in such a patient manner. I now have the correct TWRP in place and can see my internal storage and legacy storage, and I can find the latest Milaq ROM zip I downloaded.

I need to recharge my TP before going any further (its down to 37%). I will need to figure out why my TP wasn't recognized when I connected via USB. I think it downloaded a bad driver (an Acer driver?) and I vaguely recall that was a problem, so I will research why and how to fix (unless you or someone else can help there too... keeping mind I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. :silly:).

Again, many thanks for walking me through the solution to the TWRP problem.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
One suggestion I have about the USB issue:

Go to Settings, Storage, "..." overflow menu at top right, USB computer connection.

Then, select "PTP", wait a few seconds (say 10), then select "MTP".

That's a workaround for an issue I've noticed where USB doesn't work properly on recent clean installs. It was in my and mailq's most recent builds. However, it should be fixed on builds after today.

Note that due to the nature of this issue, even if you install a ROM with the issue fixed, you may still have to do the steps above unless

you did a "clean install" (i.e. wiped data first).
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Is there something different in the 0625 Snapshot from the 0405 and 0409 Roms, or is it a TWRP thing? I don't remember those dates having this USB problem. I can attest to them working flawlessly for me and my friends.

NT
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Thanks again JC, I was able to wipe and install the latest (8/26) version of Milaq's ROM and everything works... netflix after the normal 15 to 20 seconds of garble and the HP bluetooth keyboard. I haven't tried the USB fix yet. Again, many thanks!
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Yeah, sometime between 0409 and 0625 there was an upstream (i.e. non device specific code) change in how our USB configuration string (that's set in our device specific code) was interpreted. If you installed 0625 over 0409 without a data wipe, you didn't see the problem. Also, changing the USB config (i.e. like above or enabling/disabling adb) would correct it. For those two reasons, I didn't notice it until after a few people reported having USB connection issues after clean install and I went to investigate. I'll be uploading a new version with the fix soon.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Can you give a gerrit commit for the change that caused the problem?
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
See my comment here:

[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Hi JC, Shumash and NT... I tried to connect the TouchPad running Milaq's latest nightly. I tried the steps JC suggested (switching to PTP, then waiting ten seconds, then switching to MTP). Whne I switched to PTP, it appeared to install new drivers, which seemed like it would have been a god thing. But the third new driver it installed was the Acer ADB driver that I am suspecting is the problem.

Anyway, while in PTP mode my laptop recognizes that my TpochPad is connected, seems to recognize it as a camera, and even lets me see photo files on the TouchPad. So that seems like its a good first step. Unfortunately, it only seems to see the photo files on the TP.

When I switch to MTP, it doesn't appear to recognize there is anything connected via USB. I tried with Android Debugging in both the off and on positions and didn't seem to matter.

I am guessing its the Acer ADB driver is the problem. Is that a correct guess? And if so, any suggestions on removing and/or re-installing the correct drivers? I will continue to research as well. Thanks in advance!

btw, its a Lenovo x220 laptop, running Windows 7. I don't have any Acer products, but I do need to connect my phone (Sansung GS3 running ACIP 4.4.4) and my other tablet (Nexus 7 running SlimKat 4.4.4).
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
I've noticed at times the charging status gets reversed, i.e. it shows charging when unplugged, discharging when plugged. This seems to happen if you plug or unplug a usb cable connected to a pc while it's suspended or booting. Could this be the root of that?
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
I think I may have solved my problem getting my laptop to recognize my TouchPad as an MTP device. I found this page and followed the steps to "update" my driver: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html

The dumb Acer ADB driver is still there, but the TouchPad driver now works too. When I ejected the device ("You can safely eject you...") it refers to it as MTP. That doesn't sound exactly correct (I'd think it should still say "you can safely disconnect your TouchPad") but at least I was ale to see all the TouchPad files using Windows Explorer.

There probably is a correct (or more correct) fix... if so, let me know.
[TouchPad Development] swear0730:
Can anybody point me to tpdebrick with instructions on running on win 7? All I seem to be able to find are links to using it with Ubuntu.

TIA
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Because that is how it's done. Follow the directions and hopefully you'll have your touchpad fixed. If the creator of that process, JC Sullins, wanted you to use Windows, he would have put instructions in the OP of that thread for it.

[TouchPad Development] synchron50:
Is any of this USB MTP/PTP stuff related to the msm_otg kernel wakelock bug that prevents the TP from going to deep sleep after removing from charger (in my case, an hp Touchstone)?

This issue has been seen in CM9, CM10 and CM11. I'm just noticing it happens more frequently with the 06/25 ROM.

I think v41 will work better for you. You will need to do a "Full Data Reset" with it.

I don't use datamedia file because of, in first i juste want webos and then i will install android.

I must use webosdoctor before install android or can i install android whitout webos ? and thn install webos ?
[TouchPad Development] mschumacher69:
What do u need webOS for??
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
You can install Android without webOS. However, if you want to install both, you need to install webOS first (with current version of toolbox).

Remember, after doing a "Complete Data Reset" you must do a "create webOS volumes" before running webOS doctor.

See the second set of instructions on this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52922166&postcount=64

It even includes a script I created to fix the root certificates on webOS after the doctor completes (you will need to do this some way

and I think this is the easiest).
[TouchPad Development] garux:
I'm also having problems with 0625 version using MTP. Windows 8 will not recognize MTP but will recognize PTP. My band-aid for now is to use the WiFi File Transfer application for now. I tried enabling/disabling adb and it would not correct the problem.

Other than the issue with MTP, to my knowledge, I'm not having any other problems.

Thanks again for all the work you put into our HP TouchPad, I really appreciate it.

[TouchPad Development] sstar:
You can reinstall any Rom and gapps with your recovery. You haven't said which recovery you are using. But using your recovery you can wipe cache and Davlick and should also be able to do a factory reset which if you are having problems would be the suggested option.

All the best, have fun.
