pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.4-20141121-signed.zip

Having some problems

I think I mostly understand the process but here's what I'm not understanding...

I can get into the TPToolbox just fine.

I can get into the Folder created by the toolbox, but I have no idea where to find the ROM Gaps or whatever. Sorry, but this is new to me. Guess I have to figure out where those are and put them in the folder, right?

Are there different options in terms of 4.4.4 (I guess it is?). What's the best option and where do I find it?

BTW, I did read the instructions, but not understanding this step. TIA!

If version 4.0 of the Touchpad Toolbox was used to install Android, should the same version be used to flash the A6 firmware, or would it be OK to use version 4.1?

Either should be fine.

Install failing on verification of recovery file

I had Cyangenmod 9 along side webos but wanted all my space and updated android so I did the "Complete Data Reset" to start fresh. I am using Touchpad Toolbox v4.1. So, following the instructions in the thread by jcsullins, I connected the TP to the computer and downloaded and copied the GAPP, Recovery and ROM to my TP in the TTinstall directory. I did the eject media on windows and unmounted the TP, Then when I run the install I get the following:

Forum wont let me post photos so I will try to describe. The first two files: Mod and GAPP check fine, but the recovery file bombs with

"ERROR: unrecognized/unsupported zip 'update-PhilZ_CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317.zip'

ERROR: 1 unrecognized/unsupported zip files

ERROR: Checking Install ZIP files. Aborting.

And this is my ttmedia folder on the touchpad.

cm-11-20140625-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip

gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip

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

I have used the regular "update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317.zip" recovery file as well and get the same result. I am using v4.1 of the Toolbox. Am I using incompatible versions of the three files and/or Touchpad Toolbox? I don't know what else it could be. Please help, I have a brick sitting on my desk right now.

Also, not sure what version of firmware I am using....should I flash that...probably stock firmware right now.

unable to install novacom driver on OS X or Win7

I am at my wits end trying to install Novacom drivers.

Here is what I did:

- both on OS X Yosemite and on Win7 64 running in a VirtualBox VM

- downloaded and installed latest JDK 8

- OS-specific Novacom drivers appear to no longer be available: I navigate to

www openwebosproject org / opensource / packages.html, where a Mac package points to

downloads help palm com / opensource / novacom / novacom-mac.tgz but goes to mynewpalm.com which is blank

- so, I downloaded the Universal Novacom Installer 1.3

- on both OS X and Win7, I get the same error when attempting to install nova com driver: "error: driver installation failed”. It looks like it’s failing when trying to download Novacom drivers. See screenshots attached.

Any suggestions?

i have a .recovery

It would be helpful if you can say which version of toolbox and recovery rom and gapps, the more information you supply the easier it will be for others to help you.

The above link gives you Toolbox v41 and the relevant recoveries that can be used for non data media or the newer data media roms you don't say what your preference is. However you only need 1 recovery and moboot. It's then down to you to choose a rom and gapps.

I suggest that read Rolanddeschange79 install guides to get you started

[MENTION=2642571]mschumacher69[/MENTION] - thanks so much. the waybackmachine - of course! worked like a charm.

Since most of the information I have found is dated, for those interested here is what I did to get Android going on my Touchpad (apologies for goody URLs but this forum isn't letting me post full links):

overall, followed instructions here: liliputing.com 2014 06 use-touchpad-toolbox-install-android-erase-webos-hp-touchpad.html

(1) first, installed JDK 8

(2) installed Novacom drivers: these are no longer avail where specified (and the universal installer kept failing, instead downloaded drivers for OS X from the waybackmachine (see post from [MENTION=2642571]mschumacher69[/MENTION])

(3) installed Touchpad Toolbox

this build is out of date: xdaforums.com showpost.php?p=52765126&postcount=2

but this is the updated one - 0.41: xdaforums.com showpost.php?p=54986968&postcount=293

(4) per instructions in (3), downloaded custom built recovery tool (philz)

(5) downloaded ROM (in my case PACMAN ROM) and GApps

(6) shutdown touchpad

rebooted into recovery mode by holding power and volume up (until saw USB symbol)

connected to MacBook Pro using a USB cable

fired up tptoolbox shell script

reset data

install android -> this mounts a touchpad directory on my mac under /Volumes

copied 3 files (ROM, philz recovery, and gapps) to tpinstall folder

then unmounted on touchpad and it started installing

after reboot, it did take a while (1-2 minutes) while the pacman intro was playing, but just hang tight and install will continue

When I execute the tptb_v40_win file, the following text appears:

Setting Palm Path . . .

Checking novacom service . . .

And nothing else happens, the USB logo remains on the touchpad and the text never progresses.

Can anyone offer a solution?
