Copy the .bin file to the Touchpad from the PC, rename it to uImage.TPToolbox and use a rooted file explorer on the Touchpad to copy it to the boot partition. I used Esfile explorer but any one with root access will do.

My boot folder has the following items in it:

android.default.recovery

moboot.default

moboot.splash.Evervolv.tga

uImage

uImage.Evervolv

uImage.moboot

uImage.TPToolbox

uImage.TWRP

Also 5 folders, but the uImage files are the ones you see during (mo)boot.

Peace.

Note: it's u-capital i-mage. Not "l" (the letter"el"). And drop the .bin suffix.
[TouchPad Development] jimjack:
Is it possible that the new TWRP 3.0.2 needs all this folders and files?

With this and the standard installtion there is not enough space on the /boot-device for the TPTollbox-bin.

Can I delete these folders?

With my other 16GB TP and an old TWRP 2.8.7(.3) I use the TPTollbox-bin on /boot. That is very fine - you need no pc connection

to start the TPToolbox.

jimjack
[TouchPad Development] chris5s:
I don't know, other than that you have to be careful what you do delete from the /boot partition!

All I know is TPToolbox fits in just nicely with my setup :good:

Been running Newsmax HD video streams on one of the other tablets running the 5/28 all last night and this morning catching up on the weeks pundits. Not had a single glitch.

I have seen the Touchscreen quit a couple of times but sleeping the tablet quick remedies that. But I have seen that in some of the earlier roms as well as this 5/28 so i wasn't considering it anything new.
[TouchPad Development] muerte33:
Installed ES File Explorer, and when I went to copy over uImage.TPToolbox it says:

/boot/uImage.TPToolbox open failed EROFS (read-only file system).
[TouchPad Development] chris5s:
Did you enable root access in the app?

Under "Tools" on the left, make sure the root button is to the right.

Then tap the text where it says Root Explorer and enable access in the dialogue box that pops up.

I saw that after I posted, sorry, and thanks for all the help!

It is working now, this is pretty cool!
[TouchPad Development] chris5s:
No problem :good:

[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
The TPTB.bin needs to renamed to uImage.TP_Toolbox. The word uImage is mandatory. What comes after the . (period) can be whatever you want, I just picked TP_Toolbox for an example. The second letter in uImage is an uppercase "i". After renaming it, use a file browser like Rom Toolbox Lite to copy the file to /boot. Reboot and whatever you put after the period will show up on the Moboot menu. Your choice how you get the bin file on your TouchPad. Directly from your PC, download to your TouchPad from a cloud server like Dropbox, or use one of the file browsers that will transfer via WiFi or Bluetooth to your TouchPad. I understand that ES File Explorer works well. I believe a few pages back how to transfer files wirelessly was discussed.

I was wrong before. Even with 20160528 build, wifi autoconnect doesn't work post-boot, seems there's no network discovery.
[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
I have found that if you let the tablet boot and then after it hits the Launcher screen, let it go back to sleep, and then wake it again, the wifi will be connected.

When a rom does -2ma in sleep mode, I find that a super minor problem to have to let it sleep quick first so as not to have to go to the menu to turn the wifi on.
[TouchPad Development] Shadow aok:
You're right, i got wifi after waking it up.

I didn't even had to unlock it post-boot to make it work.

Thanks !

My Touchpad is running really slow too, it feels like the CPU is always running at minimum speed or something. I did a full wipe with TPToolbox and installed 23/5 build (latest at the time). The battery drain is awesome, but the speed is very frustrating..
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Have you verified the min/max cpu speed setting? Have you checked the list of running apps to see what is chewing up the processors? There might be some clues to be observed....
[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
Get CPU-Z and observe the CPU speeds. Make sure both cores are reporting their presence and running and running at speed. See if the reported I/O scheduling is concurrent with the settings in the Evervolv Toolbox. Try a different I/O Schedule in the Evervolve Toolbox and see if that mitigates the performance issues.

All my tablets running the 5/28 RIP! I mean they are fast. They boot fast. Apps launch fast. Video loads fast. They are stable. I have it on 3 of my 32 Giggers right now and they are all working GREAT.

KUDOS devs. You people rock!
[TouchPad Development] amosnz:
Yes min cpu was 384, max 1512. Changed min to 1026, no difference. The only running apps are settings, google services, android keyboard.

Installed cpu-z and both cores reported present and running at expected speed ranges. I/O schedular set for BFQ (probably default as not modified), CPU governor set to Interactive (again likely default). CPU-z shows correct scaling governor, but doesnt report i/o schedular. What other I/O schedulars are recommended?
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
try fiops for I/O scheduler and smartmax for governor and see if situation improves.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Ok, I'm assuming the TP is charged up fully (or at least above 20%), can you provide a logcat zip file here for deeper study? My two devices are on 5/28 and running screaming fast and with very low battery drain in sleep mode. No reboots, WiFi stays connected all the time and I'm most happy person on the block. So what you are experiencing is likely a setting off the mark. The logs may help isolate the issue.

HP-Touchpad Marshmallow fail

I tried New install running these files, it failed unrecognized zip. etc.

I am wanting to clean install Marshmallow. 2 of theses didn't seem to work?

wish I had wrote down failed files but got spooked and reinstalled the previous OS.

do this. maybe it was because this is a post for open air install?

[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
What was/is your Previous OS? If it was not Evervolv.com edition (CM?), you must do a complete wipe as outlined by NT back in note 982 or near there.

Or perhaps you have a corrupted download of the zip files. Try downloading them again fresh and confirm the md5 checksum to be sure.

I use a more recent version of the Open Gapps nano kit from April this year, but that shouldn't matter, as later updates from your kit will be picked up from the Google play store shortly after connecting to the WiFi network.

Lastly, did you read through the last few months of posting here? There are others that had a similar occurrence and found good solutions. You might find a gold nugget in that reread...

[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
I use TWRP 3.0.1 and have had no issues. I would recommend it.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

I see. Your choice for past experience and comfort level. Coming from JCSullins lollipop to Evervolv.com requires a full wipe of the system. So be sure to take a good backup of what you have now before starting the flash process. There are extensive and detailed instructions in this thread. I'm referring to the first note by Flintman and note 982 by NT. Others have reported great success and satisfaction with the newest release. Once you have a running tablet on Evervolv.com, future OS upgrades are made much easier via the built in updater over the air and with optional backups before the flash. It's really quite painless. But a few people have occasional issues still with bad settings, corrupt zip files, etc.

I successfully flashed Marshmallow to my HP TouchPad earlier. seems Battery Dires fast! I let it update to newest ROM could that be an Issue? I'm fully charging it now, once done may start from scratch and redo..

can anyone suggest best 6.0 ROM and Gapps TWRP pkg? I'd like to use ttinstall I know how to do that better, I may have missed a wipe or format in my last Install?! it works and all, but dislike the gapps package. Also how do you remove the Google search bar at top of screen? I cant find a way in my settings nor the toolbox that TWRP has in Marshmallow..

and last and probably most Important, what is coding and how do I go about that ?
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
My TP had been slowing down and it had been a while since reflashing A6 so I reflashed and its all peppy again. But I also took advantage of the great tips on moving the .bin file over to my boot and next time I will reflash A6 without connecting to my laptop... thanks guys for the pointers. btw, I was getting -2mA today... amazing how little battery the recent versions of Evervolv have been getting.

One prob I have been having is Chrome. I get a weird black screen with white character fragments all over. I have a hunch its related to the CMTE theme I am running (Dark MTRL CM13/DU) so I will remove the theme and/or try a different theme (ie. material Glass or Euphoria dark). If it was a Layers theme engine I could simply remove the Chrome layer. btw2: Chrome Beta works fine.

UPDATE: Chrome issue also appears on Material Glass theme, so that eliminates the CMTE or the theme itself.

UPDATE2::the simplest solutions... uninstall and reinstall Chome and it seems OK

How do I increase the system 1 gig and do I use USB or flash wipe, resize, install " I'm wanting to completely wipe! re install Marshmallow what ROM , Gapps and Recovery would you recommend?
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
The only tool that I know of is the JCSullins TP toolbox. This can be loaded into the boot directory as uImage.TPtoolbox. It should fit and this will make it available in the moboot menu on startup. Take enough out of data volume to add to system and bring it to 1GB. Also use this opportunity to flash A6 battery firmware. Then reboot into TWRP to continue the flash process.

[MENTION=6089715]deafasheck[/MENTION], Do you know how many times this has been discussed in this thread? You got to do your homework, that means read this thread and I'll provide some extra credit reading here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756314

If after educating yourself like the rest of us have done, and you still have questions, come back and we will try to help. If you had been reading, you would already know the basic stuff like how to use TPTB to change volume sizes, or how to change things like your Gapps using recovery. I know, there is a lot to learn and it can be intimidating at times. But once done, you will be answering your own questions most of the time. Most of it has been discussed here more than once.

One other thing, something is very wrong if your TP after charging for three hours is only at 19%. What are you using to charge it. If it is not the official HP TouchPad wall charger or TouchStone, then it's going to take a long time to charge it up if at all. You cannot use USB power from a PC, a cellphone charger or an after market charger. They all only provide 500mA and that is only enough to hold the charge where it is or maybe slowly increase it while the TP is asleep or turned off.

Thanks so much, so I take from data to increase system. I've mastered jc tptb.. Been tinkering with it over a month. Got all novacom and palm,, even got an Android advisor.

Deep Sleep

Great work on the rom Flintman! Only issue I currently have is after pad goes in deep sleep the only way to wake it up is with three button hold to reboot. Maybe pad related as my other 32gb does not mimic this issue. On the ailing pad I have done both clean and dirty install with same results.

Thanks, I went to eBay ordered a official charger. The one that came with tp would often state in correct charger . They look the same, my cell phone charger works great. But I want the correct one.

I have some minor audio clipping every few minutes or so while using Bluetooth headset on mx player for videos.

Wifi model on 5/20 build.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
A hard reboot on the HP TouchPad is performed by holding the home and power buttons from 15 to 30 seconds. There may be other button combinations for other things, but power and home are the only two for forcing a reboot.

The best way to wake up a sleeping TP is just by pressing the home button. There are certain TP's around that constantly using the power button to put it to sleep and wake it up could cause a bricked tablet. If you are not sure if your tab is asleep or turned off, it's best to always try the home button first. If no response after several tries, always press the power button and hold it for the required time until you see the pulsing HP logo. Otherwise the quick press of the power button on a turned off TP will spike the power circuit and then require upwards of 15 seconds before it will respond and turn on. Or, you may find that it has finally bricked because of the constant spiking of the power circuit with the power button. You can't say you have not been warned. ;)

I get audio cutting using 2 different bluetooth speakers to watch youtube videos. Restart doesn't help. Then again I have 3%+ battery drain an hour and the TP is slow so maybe mine is just going bad after 4+ years.
[TouchPad Development] david_inuk:
I'm afraid I can't help you with the bluetooth issue, but regarding the speed, a few posts earlier, somebody made a suggestion to change settings in the evervolv toolbox. I made the changes and my touchpad is now much much faster. Previously it was a little slow to respond and somewhat painful to use. Although it's still not as fast as modern hardware (my Xiaomi MI4I phone is faster), but it's now perfectly usable.

The battery life is perfectly fine too.

Thanks again to the devs. What amazing work.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
David makes a good suggestion for improving perforance for slow seeming TouchPads david's suggestion of changing the settings (Under Evervolv Toolbox > Performance, try Fiops scheduler and Smartmax governor). Also it always helps to periodically reflash the A6 firmware (you'll see this discussed in recent posts... you can even add the Touchpad Toolbox to your boot menu to avoid the need of connecting to your PC to run the Touchpad Toolbox).

NT, I have a problem copying the uImage.TPToolbox file into the /boot folder. I tried both, ES File Explorer and ROM Toolbox. I can copy over ~4MB of the uImage.TPToolbox file, then the Explorers cancel and tell me, that there is not enough space!? :confused:

Some people here have copied the file successfully, but others don't. What could be wrong here? Any clue on that?

I would like to clone one TP to another because the touchscreen isn't working well on one.

Thank you and I apologize if this is in the wrong section.
[TouchPad Development] muerte33:
When I initially installed the Evervolv ROM (came from a JCSullins CM12.1 build), I used TPTB to expand the system partition to 1gb (I have a 32gb Touchpad).

I did not have a problem putting the TPtoolbox file in the /boot folder, and it works when I select it from the MOBOOT menu.

I just installed the new June 6 build, and I am testing it out.

Still getting the occasional skips on my external bluetooth speaker using Spotify.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Could you grab a log right after it happens?
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Yes, I started with the 04-30 Evervolv build and TWRP 2.8.3.0, installed via TPToolbox v42 with a expanded system partition size of 1GB on a 32GB TP. Updated several times up to the 05-28 Evervolv build and TWRP 3.0.2.0 and now I cannot copy the uImage.TPToolbox file into the boot folder. I don't know what is wrong here.... As of my understanding, this should be possible :(

[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
My bad, I forgot to mention that I had previously increased the size of boot just tad to hold the several uImage files. Sorry. I used the toolbox to take away several MB from data to give to boot when I also boosted system volume to 1GB at the same work session last fall. You might also check what other files are stored in boot to be sure there aren't any lingering webos or cm modules that can go.

Look back about a week in the notes here. There was a good discussion about direct TP to TP file copying using only the local WiFi.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
With , WebOS removed, Complete Data Reset using TPTB, you should have more than enough room to put the uImage.TPTB in /boot. The /boot folder is about 30mb in size. I'm looking at my TP /boot folder now and there is approximately 1.93 mb space left.

Which recovery are you using? I am using TWRP 3.0.2-0. The installed size of that particular build is 7.82mb. TPTB is 10.73mb. Now I currently have Sullin's CM11 installed which is 3.84mb in size. I even have a Moboot background.tga installed which takes up 1.04mb. The rest of the files in /boot are just a few kb in size each. So maybe Evervolv Marshmallow is causing the problem. Maybe one of the guys who has Evervolv MM installed can take a look and tell us how much space it takes up in /boot. What does not make sense is I have seen posted that they have the TPTB uImage in /boot without issue. Help us out here guys! ;)

Someone may have a better idea, but I find the easiest way to move an exact copy from one TP to another is have the exact Rom and recovery installed on both tablets. Make a Nandroid backup on both. You have to do this on the one you want to receive the others Nandroid backup as recovery creates the folders where they are kept when a backup is made. It's up to you how you want to move the backup from the defective TP to the new one. I personally just copy it to my PC and then from the PC to the folder where recovery keeps it's backups. New start recovery and restore the backup you just copied to your new TP. Reboot and enjoy.

Wow, Evervolv MM is a lot bigger than CM11. That is probably why Bgrosse cannot get TPTB to install. He's got something in /boot taking up the needed space. Still waiting for Globaltraveler5565 to explain how he enlarged /boot. I don't see how he did it using TPTB.
