HP TouchPad Software/Hardware

[#1]

Hi Everybody!

I have a 16GB Touchpad and I am stuck in a boot loop (HP Logo appears and reboots). I have used Web OS doctor 3.0.4 and it did not fix my problem. Is there another application that would rebuild the boot partition? Or any other fix for this issue or really rebuild it to factory settings?

Thanks!

Was webOS Doctor successful in reloading webOS onto your TouchPad?  Or did it fail during the install?  I am not aware of any other programs that can rebuild/reformat the TouchPad.

I realize it's a boot loop, but would you please try force rebooting it?  You can do that by holding down the power and center buttons for 10-15 seconds.

Hi,

The webOS (3.0.4) went thru the process successfully (in bootie) however the boot loop problem continues.

I tried holding (+15 sec.) the power and center, the touchpad continues to boot loop. I cannot shut it down, it continues until the battery is dead.

Any way to rebuild the boot partition (16GB model) in novaterm?

Thanks,

I don't know what you mean by bootie.  Does that mean webOS Doctor 3.0.4 was successful?

I'm not sure about rebuilding the boot partition, to be honest with you.  You best bet would be to look over the pages of WebOS Internals.  I found this page on their site that may be of some help: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/How_To_Recover

The ''Bootie'' is the recovery mode when you power the Touchpad and hold the Volume+ button. The webOSdoctor went thru its process completly but did not resolve my problem.

Oh ok, thanks for the info.  Other than directing you to WebOS Internals, I can think only of calling HP Support.

Thanks again for your help!

You're welcome.  Best of luck.  I hope you get it resolved soon.

the webOS partitions aren't perfect in format/size.

That is news to me. I was under the impression that ALL WOD version recreate the partitions. I'll keep that as a mental note for the future.

Thanks for the link!
