[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
I just got Touchpad TB up and running, can't spend too long on it tonight. Already well past my bedtime! Looks like my partition table is corrupt and TPTB can't fix it - I guess therefore I have a couple of "non-trivial" errors (confirm_repair_bad) that fsck can't / won't / unsafe to repair automatically! Haha. Fun!

Similarly, I can't Resize Android Volumes yet, because fsck kicks in and tries to fix the errors, but fails. Annoyingly, the info whizzes by too quick for me to reliably see if my cache is 200mb already...and I can't scroll the verbose output to check. I've run it a few times and I can see 2021 blocks out of 51200 blocks. Don't know if 2021 blocks roughly equates to 200mb, but it might (or might not)? I really don't know.

Anyway, so the next step (wish I'd hope someone could confirm) (perhaps [MENTION=4396896]nevertells2[/MENTION]) is to do a Complete Data Reset? This looks far more troubling, i.e. path to reinstalling Android without WebOS, ultimate 'start-over' etc. Presumably after this completely flattens my device, I'm doing to have to engage with WebOS Doctor and all that?

Any advice please?

Thanks.

=== UPDATE ===

Ahh, I went into recovery and repaired the SYSTEM partition...that seems to have fixed the fsck fail issue in TPTB. Progress. Glacial, but progress never the less.
[TouchPad General] _litz:
I'm not sure how you'd reinstall WebOS after doing a full data reset ... there are no servers to register to, and therefore no way to setup the tablet up, or install applications ...
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
Nor me, avoided at all costs for the time being. I'm sure there are tools out there. I used to be well-versed in WebOS and all things TP, but it's been on my shelf for 2 years and is only now just getting a dusting off and a fresh OS (with any luck!). Can't believe it's still getting attention.

Every so often I pull out my HTC Desire HD - that's still getting some love too (Ubuntu Touch for example!). Amazing!

Have made some progress and some of this listed is in my previous post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65919249&postcount=238).

I'm in the Volume Resizer now...do I need to make sure the system partition is exactly 1GB (so 1024MB), or will simply 1000 do?
[TouchPad General] _litz:
I think 1000 will do ...
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
...and what about the unused space. I had a whole 16MiB of unused space? I know it's normal to get some residual unused space when partitioning a drive, but I'm fussy and I'd like to use all of it. There are bound to be times in the future where I'll say to myself "...if only I'd partitioned that extra 16 MiB!" ...like when copying files and I'm a meg of two short.
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
Well, I'm in, and it was easier than I anticipated...although I do like to be cautious rather than get burned, so I took my time about it.

Interesting things I noticed:

1. I decided to manually repartition in TPTB before Install Android. I tried a few things, but in the end if I didn't stick System up to 1024MiB, then the Installer just robbed 24MiB from elsewhere (Media partition, I think) and added it to System instead. So 1000MiB won't do really (@_litz), although the installer does try and protect users from themselves it seems. To prove this, I ended up manually setting System to 1024MiB, and the installer didn't rob Peter to pay Paul any longer.

2. Media partition (I don't know what this is BTW) was reduced by the installer by some 1600(ish) MiB, which was added to Data. Don't know why? Any ideas?

Just booting up now, so got some setting up to do on TP running CM12.1...amazing! :)

Thanks all for your help, and I welcome any comments. Please thank me if I helped, if only a little bit! :good:
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
What are you talking about "unused space"? Any memory you take from a volume, ie. /data, is moved to a "unallocated volume" and then you can move/add it to a volume where you want more, usually /system. Nothing should be left unused. Can you explain more what you are talking about?

NT

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

The media volume is where the pseudo external SD card resided before data media came along. Now it resides as the internal SD card in the /data volume. TPTB resizes it to around 800mb as TPTB needs that area for the "external SD card" and the ttinstall folder.

NT
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
WebOS can be reinstalled. Not quite sure why you want to keep it. All the support servers are gone. I'm not sure there are any active support forums left. To reinstall, you have to get past a couple of issues of which Sullins created a couple of small scripts that deal with them along with instructions on how to reinstall WebOS. You will find them in a post #64 he made here in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756314&page=7

What is it exactly you want to keep WebOS for? If you absolutely have to keep it, you should not remove it because you will not be able to reinstall any apps from the app store.

NT
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
Thanks for all this useful info. I didn't realise webOS was sooo dead, so no I don't need it anymore in that case.

Thanks for explaining the media partition to me. Always learning!

I had 16MB of unpartitioned space, which in the end I threw at my data partition. Seems to be fine.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
Yeah, you have to pull your shoes off and do some careful counting when moving memory around with TPTB. :D

But it's not hard to get it all allocated if you see some left over.

I'm guessing that during the install and resizing volumes you saw you had the 200mb in the cache volume you were hoping for?

NT
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
Yes, I did. Bang on 200 from when I put lollipop on I expect.

--- EDIT ---

Loaded webOS last night, wow...slow.

Preware wouldn't even download anything...even though there was a Whatsapp style Java / webOS app from 2015 showing up, which was the most recent thing I could find easily.

Anyway, just removing it now. Bye bye webOS...you were interesting, but also a pain in the arse!
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
Thanks [MENTION=2763462]jcsullins[/MENTION], this was really bugging me re: ADB / Debugging. Just used your TPTB Ttol to wave goodbye to webOS and install cm12.1. Amazing work, thank you for keeping our Touchpad's alive.
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
Does anyone else have a red flash around the outside edge when selecting various options, e.g. keyboard settings. It's not specifically just the keyboard settings, and I've seen it elsewhere. It's just what I remember changing and the outside edge of the screen flashes red when changing a parameter.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
I'm not using CM12.1 right now, but when I was, did not experience what you are describing. While back there were complaints about red flashes with certain browsers, but not on this version of Android.

NT
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
Hi NT,

It seems to come in waves, when I'm doing something new (I.e. from a fresh install on a setting or part of the OS that I haven't altered from default state yet). Play Store does it all the time though, I guess because every app is new. I don't know really; I'm just guessing as best I can.

Strange thing is that this is my 2nd install of 12.1. The first time was over the top of the old cm11 (with full wipe etc) and the system still had WebOS on....it didn't flash red around the edges at all! Yet, with a full data reset, no WebOS and new 12.1 install, it flashes red frequently.

Not a deal breaker at all...just peculiar. Never ever seen this before, and I've used some natty underdeveloped ROMs in my time on the TP! For a while I thought I had accidentally turned on some dev option to show touches or some CM equivalent, but alas no.

Thanks.

*warning this build bricks your device*

If you are experiencing problems getting the build to flash, for instance if it takes an exuberant amount of time to flash DO NOT continue to try and flash or your device will be Bricked! You must make sure you have all of the particulars taken care before you finally flash the JCSullins snapshot build! Once your device is bricked it takes a lot of complicated steps to bring it back to life.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
Would you care to share where you got this information from? You are the first person to suggest there is an issue with installing Sullin's build of CM12.1 bricking a TouchPad. You also might want to clarify what you consider a excessive amount of time. If you had a personal experience with this, you might want to explain exactly what happened. J.C. Sullins is a extremely experienced developer who builds CM Roms and the applications to install them that don't brick TouchPads. Issues like that are usually a hardware problem or user caused.

Flash install lollipop

I would like to know how to flash install. On my touchpad. I was finally able to learn how to do the tool box thing. I thought I was flashing the new ROM earlier don't hear it but I still get KitKat
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
What do you have installed now? What do you want to install? If you have a CM data media Rom installed and want to install a newer CM Rom, just use recovery. If you are upgrading from CM11 to CM12.1, you also need to install the version of Gapps for CM12.1.

I detect that you are new to this and if you don't fully understand what you are doing, you could brick your tablet or at least incur serious issues. If you are already on Sullin's CM11, what is the date of the build? Sullin's CM11 is a mature, stable, well tested Rom. I would suggest you install via recovery the newest build from Nov. 16, 2015 knowing that you have a great working Rom that can do almost anything you need it to do. If you go further, you get into less proven, highly experimental builds. You do so at your own peril.

[TouchPad General] mrlaugh01:
The default System partition on the Touchpad will not fit newer CM builds and requires you to reallocate partition sizes for it to 'fit' and the toolbox makes this task easy. Try the toolbox and read instructions closely. [MENTION=2763462]jcsullins[/MENTION] did a great job creating the toolbox, and if it does brick you device, he has created an 'unbrick' tool you'd be able to try as well. Good luck.

"New" HP Touchpad Activation

Been looking everywhere and decided that there is no better place to start than in a JCSullins thread.

I bought 3 new HP Touchpad's during the FireSale. My mistake then was that I only activated one and left the others boxed up. Now it's time to put TP #2 into the game and everything has changed with no way to activate through WebOS.

Here's my current situation

1. Running Windows 10 OS

2. Downloaded TP Toolbox V42

3. Downloaded Novacom and the Palm, Inc Directory appears in my Windows File Manager.

4. Have TP in the "Big USB" symbol mode, but windows doesn't find it when I plug it in to the computer's USB port.

5. Double Clicking the Toolbox win.bat file ges me a "Cannot find Touchpad Toolbox Binary file file" message.

It appears that every link that is assocaited with a "Bypass Activation" post is now dead.

Any and all help is appreciated.

So you upgraded from Sullins CM11(KK) to his CM12.1(LL) Rom. I ran it for a while and found it to be much more experimental in nature. Some things that worked flawlessly in CM11 had issues in CM12.1, so I went back to CM11. If having stability, maturity and virtually a fully functional Rom, then stick with CM11. If you like crossing the line into the experimental side which means certain functions either don't work or work marginally, then stick with CM12.1. If you decide to stick with CM11, be sure you are using his latest build, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982086997323.

To tell you the truth, it's been months since I had this ROM installed. I really honestly don't remember exactly what it was that turned me off about this ROM, but it was enough to make me want to go back to CM11. What is good, is that it works for you and that is all that matters. I think [MENTION=3965861]theronkinator[/MENTION] is having problems because he did not completely do a clean install of CM 12.1. What I mean is, use touchpad toolbox and do a complete data reset and then install CM 12.1 clean like that. When you install newer versions of Android over older versions that's when you get the kind of problems that he is incurring.
