You are stuck where I have been some days ago! Against Evervolv ROMs you *NEED* to install the superSU via TWRP and SKZ kernel at the same time. With Evervolv ROMs you have been able to get root without installing the SKZ kernel from Shumash, but with DU ROMs you need the SKZ kernel along with superSU.

Also try the newest available superSU named "SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip" and flash it along with the SKZ kernel.

But I highly recommend to wipe everything first again and start from scratch (with TPtoolbox), before you again install superSU with SKZ kernel on top of the DU ROM. If you ever need to update the superSU from within the ROM, don't choose "cwm/twrp". Always "normal" is the way to update.

Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me and tell me why my TP just won't boot after installation of the SKZ Custom Kernel. I am able to install the ROM and Gapps fine using either TP TOOLKIT or TWRP. But I have no root without the custom kernel. Every time after installation of the kernel, all I see is just the SKZ custom logo, then a flash of blue screen, then just blank black screen afterward. I waited and waited for over 15mins but nothing else happens. Please help!
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Make sure you have the newest custom kernel and the latest rom

This is the latest DU custom kernel by Shumash

SKZ-tenderloin-kernel-DU-Linaro_06_11_2018.zip
[TouchPad General] Chia Pet:
Thanks for the reply. Everything I have is the lastest (twrp, rom, kernel, SU) and I follow every single detail of how to install from scratch except where some tutorial tell people to install kitkat first and then 7.x or 8.x. It just get stuck after the kernel logo appears. The symptom is almost exactly the same when installing custom kernel for the Evervol rom. Install and running the rom is fine. It just won't work after installing the custom kernel. Is it because certain partition wasn't mounted or incorrectly formatted? I really don't know. Is there any way to root without installing custom kernel? I tried Kingo root but no go neither.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
When in doubt redownload everything and start from scratch

The problem you're describing is a boot loop, to fix it just use twrp to reflash the rom and gapps. When in doubt redownload everything and start from scratch. Could be a corrupt download, could be you made a mistake following the instructions, it's hard to say. There are two sets of instructions both will work but if one guide doesn't work for you try the other but follow all the steps. DoubleStuffs guide is geared towards expert users and you will need to pay close attention to his video. My guide is more for beginners and predates the modified tool he introduced and therefore doesn't include it. I don't trust those rooting tools I'd stick with the SU zip and Shumashs modified kernel. Good luck and have fun

Or

(ROM GUIDE) Alternative method to install Android 7.x.x Nougat on Touchpad

PS: try using the older SU zip 2.79 here
[TouchPad General] Chia Pet:
So... using your beginner's method, is it necessary to install kitkat 4.4.4 (step 6) prior to installing other Roms? This is the only thing that I did not follow on my several previous attempts.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Well, you can't setup the partitions without steps 6 and 7 so that would be a problem.. Usually best to follow the numbered steps or you literally didn't follow the instructions.
[TouchPad General] Chia Pet:
I set up the partition using tp tools and has been using kitkat 4.4.4 for years but never able to go further because the roms after kitkat are very laggy (no offense to all the great developers out there). I am able to install almost every roms that is available for the tp but just not the custom kernel because of the boot loop symptom.

Anyway, I will try again and this time installing kitkat and then Oreo. Thanks.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
Do you know the term, "Complete Data Reset". That is the best way to install these newer Roms. Since TPTB has never been updated to handle the latest Roms and recoveries, it's best to follow DoubleStuff's method here:

https://xdaforums.com/hp-touchpad/general/rom-guide-alternative-method-to-install-t3575861

His method will install virtually any Rom as you can see by reading his OP, but it is particularly useful with installing the newest Roms and recoveries. And go back and read post #87 in this DU thread. That might help you out. Could be the reason you are having problems.

NT
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Read the post history I already gave have him that link. He doesn't understand that he has to manually increase the partitions sizes for newer roms and literally did not read the instructions or watch the videos. Just back away slowly and leave him be :silly:

This is post #87 below. The problem with referring to this is that it neglects to mention that installing Shumash's kernel mod and SU zip are still required if you want root permissions to work. So although some features of Sumash's kernel have been incorporated into the rom you will still need it for root to work. However doing this might result in a boot loop, which as I've already explained can be fixed by reflashing the rom.

Still no files on the update site. Where'd they go?
[TouchPad General] bsorli:
Still no HP Touchpad links on DU website, but was able to download from PC using the provided link in their signature someone gave in this forum. Complicated, but was able to download newer build. Would love a more direct link with MD5 check, but so far working fine.

Also confused on why anyone is having problems extending their partitions and mixing things up (Roland's tutorials are excellent if you need help). Most if not all 7.x or greater builds require larger partitions (presently using 1.7GB System partition) and it also helps increase performance significantly moving to F2FS. Actually, my system is reporting ext4 and can't remember if that flipped during installation or System only works using ext4 formatting? Still working fast and no slowdowns from Cache or Data using F2FS.

Either way, problems I'm having relate mostly to initial install and getting stuck reporting "System UI Failure", but I was able to close these during install and finish setup manually. My install is completely new and clean with nothing from my previous setup left behind and complete wipe. Took a while to get back what I use regularly, but F2FS is performing perfectly.

Problems or minor issues

1. Losing WiFi after long sleep... Reports SIDs from previous setup, but won't show those interfaces without reboot. Not a huge problem and reboot is quick with this new installation.

2. Haven't tested Bluetooth yet, but so far working very well and best 8.1 build I've used to date on my 8 year old TP (and original battery). I'll let you know how BT headphones and keyboard work after I charge those interfaces.

3. Side note, my charging stand also doesn't report being connected and docked which is odd since all builds since 4.4.x have recognized the charging stand and usually display clock while using the interface. Note, stand still works and woke this morning with Tablet full charged.

Thanks for your efforts and keep up the great work.

Sorli...

It works great but when I install SKZ kernel to get root access.... the performance becomes sloppy (constant frequent freezes (I mean real freezes, cannot even turn off the screen) , video playback stuttering, lag etc..

So for now, I reflashed the rom again; I don't have root but performance is so much better

After rebooting, you should have a root privilege entry in the settings. When a popup asks for root permissions for a specific app like 3C Toolbox, Kernel Adiutor or any other system-related app, grant it and you're good to go.

[TouchPad General] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

All those who have tested this rom (or any Oreo rom, on any device), does the flash process work any different to any other Android rom in the past...?? Beit Android 2.x, 4.x, 5.x, 6.x or 7.x ???

As all those have worked flawlessly, in that after flashing, you still keep what's stored on your data partition? (ie: Downloads, and root path of /Data ). It's only the System, and core volumes of the OS that get wiped and changed under those OS's.

However I have heard a couple of occasions from Oreo roms, that the flash process has changed, it it wipes ALL the partitions/volumes, and resets them back to the defaults, wiping ALL data in its way... including that on /Data (or /Data/Media as its now known). I've heard that if you increase partitions, say /System to be larger, that after the Oreo flash... it resets this to a smaller volume and you have to resize it again after flashing....

Is this correct, or is this all lies... or perhaps how it used to work in the early Oreo roms... and now its more stable again??

Thanks, Lister

[TouchPad General] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi NT,

Thanks for the links, and the guidance... I read a few of the posts, but wasn't really seeing anything I hadn't already done or wasn't aware of... The only thing putting me off updating to Oreo, was I heard / read AGES AGO... either in this forum for the HP Touchpad or from one of my many other Android based devices I own. That the early Oreo roms flashed in a different manner to all previous versions of Android.

Rather than a Zip, file by file.... I read it was more like a bulk WIM, and flashed the whole thing in one go... wiping out all previous data and partitions in the process. Restoring your device back to factory standards. Hence some people had problems with booting, as their partitions were no longer big enough, and had to manually resize them after flashing. But as said, this may of been one of my other Android devices, and not the HP... As I couldn't find this info in the early posts on those threads...

I've flashed 2x different Oreo builds, with my current setup... no changes. Evervolv booted up just fine after flashing, no issues. However the DU refused to boot... So I played around with it, added a patch to it... and now that boots up just fine too. :good:

Both roms very good, very smooth and fast. Of course it's early days, and there are still many bugs... But certainly a step in the right direction, considering how old these devices are and how well they can cope already... Great stuff !! :D

And thankfully, all of the process... I didn't lose any data... Which was the main concern, what I was worried about, after hearing rumours of complete data wipes and partitions resets... Must of been another device that had that issue??

Cheers, Lister
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
I have never heard of what you describe being done on a HP TouchPad. Generally, with these latest builds, a complete data reset and clean install usually gets the best results. What some folks do is use TWRP to do a data only backup, get the new build installed and working and then restore that data only backup. Using Doublestuff's method works best since TPTB has not been updated in years. And don't know how much longer DU is going to support a device that is going on 8 years old.

For your information, I provide my novice experience with du_tenderloin-v12.5-20180816-1515-RC installed on my 3 no. 32GB TouchPads. Firstly note I am in UK. My setups are as per Roland's "How to Install Android 8.1.x/7.1.2 builds on the HP TouchPad" and all 3 no. are sited permanently on Touchstones being used as displays for a smart heating apk reading temperature from 8 no. smart central heating radiator valves and 2 no. smart switches (Genius HUB) . Principal issue is random lockup, say once every 48 to 56 hr of continuous running. Of particular note is that the lockup often (but not always) occurs at 3:00am UK Summertime ! If no new build in new future, intend to revert to 4.4.4.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
Don't expect a stable release of DU. If you want stable, J.C. Sullin's 4.4.4 is what you need to run. From your description, I have no clue what you are monitoring or for what. But if having reliable knowledge of these temperature readouts is important, I would not be using DU builds.

After updating to the latest rom and micro or nano gapps, I keep getting the error message, "AOSP keyboard stopped working." Anyone know a solution to the keyboard issue?

Install a different keyboard. I've used Hacker's Keyboard for years and it has worked great on any version of Android I have installed it on.

NT
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Yes correct, when flashing any version of the Open gapps, except the full version you get the message. “Android Keyboard (AOSP) keeps stopping”

This will prevent from properly setting up your Tablet, but there is an easy work around that will give you a working Google Keyboard from the beginning with no issues at all, and you can install the latest Opengapps. Here is the process.

1. Download the latest Gboard, the Google Keyboard.

2. Rename the file to LatinIME.apk and copy it to the external_sd partition of the Tablet.

3. Go to TWRP and select the DU ROM to install and the Open Gapps. ( Do not reboot after installation )

4. After all is Flashed then go to MOUNT select System, then go back and select advanced then File Manager, go to System folder then app then LatinIME ( /system/app/LatinIME ) select LatinIME.apk then delete ( swipe to confirm )

5. Go back to File Manager then select external_sd and select LatinIME.apk ( copy file )to ( /system/app/LatinIME ). DONE.

Reboot System , it will show the welcome setup screen and you will have a working google keyboard for everything!

How much longer do you think DU is going to keep working on builds for a tablet that is going on 8 years old? Much as we all appreciate the work all the developers have done, at some point we all have to realize it's time to move on and stop expecting these guys to expend their time and energy on this tired old tablet. Put a solid working build on it and enjoy using it until it gives up. Then give it a proper burial (properly recycle your electronic waste) and move on.

There is more options of Operating System in the works:

Unfortunately nothing has changed from those early days, is all the same, everything is moving so slow but companies are pretending that their devices are the latest with the most advance technology!
