[SIZE=+1]As of 1425 CDT on 22-Aug 2011 it appears HP has unlocked the DEMO units; you may not need the steps below. I'll leave them here for reference.[/SIZE]
MOD EDIT (LP): If required, please read "[GUIDE] Turning a Demo unit into a fully functional Retail Unit" posted by mplacido9 for more detailed instructions. Give him your Thanks (by hitting the Thanks button) if you find his in-depth guide useful.
Solution with the help of other posts [special thanks to user chekz here on precentral.net and & webOS roundup] This set of instructions will take your DEMO unit 32GB HP TouchPad and place it into Dev mode [and help you update to webOS 3.0.2 if you haven't already done so].
Just an FYI, the error that you receive after you flash to regular webOS 3.0.0 or 3.0.2 and can't move forward in registration is: PalmS3036 which is listed as "Device is Locked from doing FirstUse". This leads me to believe, like others, that it is merely a software reason and not a hardware one as to why we cannot use these like regular units.
This does remove the DEMO software, allows you to update to webOS 3.0.2, and keeps you from getting stuck on trying to register; however, It is untested on weather you can log into an existing webOS account. I am unable to create a webOS account as I don't own any other webOS devices and I do not know if this will impact your ability to register/unlock your DEMO unit in the future [if HP does so]. I would assume you should be able to use webOS Doctor once again to restore the unit as it was before this solution was developed.
Here is where i got the information:

[SIZE=+2]I. HP TouchPad Demo Unit Solution - Bypass Activation[/SIZE]
Steps:
1. If you have not already, update to webOS 3.0.2
****a. To do this download this: http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/touchpad/p302r0d08012011/wifip302rod/webosdoctorp302hstnhwifi.jar
****b. Run the aforementioned file by double clicking (You must have Java installed; I did this on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit)
****c. Continue the setup until you get to the step where you are asked to connect your device with a USB cable. (But, do not connect your TouchPad at this step)
****d. On you TouchPad shut down the tablet (you should be able to do this by holding the power option for a few seconds and selecting the "Shut Down" option ; if you can't get that to come up you can force a restart by holding the "Home" button and power button at the same time for apx 5-10sec)
****e. Restart/Start-up you device holding the Power button and the Volume Up button (This boots the device into Recovery Mode) You will know if you are successful if you see the USB logo on your screen.
****f. Connect your TouchPad to your computer; on screen you should be able to hit the next button to allow your device to be updated.
****g. Allow 10-15min for the application to finish; at the end it will tell you the device is resetting. You will see a small HP logo on your TouchPad, disconnect the USB from your computer.
****h. Once the upgrade is complete and has loaded you can attempt to login or create and account but if you have a demo unit; you won't be able to register. [aka ERROR CODE: PalmS3036]
2. Power down your TouchPad (see step 1d for help if needed)
3. Hold down the Power and Volume Up button to allow your device to boot into Recovery Mode. You should see a USB logo on screen. (see step 1e for help if needed)
4. On your desktop, unzip the chekz-devicetool.zip file. You might want to copy this un-zipped file to your C: drive to make the next step easier.
5. You will need to open a Command Prompt (for Vista and/or Win7 you might need to run as Admin by right clicking on the icon in your Start>Programs>Accessories folder)
6. Change to the directory where the unzipped file is located (i.e. C:\chekz-devicetool )
7. Connect your TouchPad to your Computer
8. In your Command Prompt type the following command: java -jar devicetool.jar
9: You should see the following (your device will restart a time or two):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
10. Once you see the "Device is ready." You can Disconnect your TouchPad from your computer.
11. When you power on your TouchPad, you should go straight to the home screen; by bypassing the activation screen.

I don't have a webOS Account to log into to see of existing users can log into their accounts. I was able to use the stock applications and login to the existing applications like Facebook. I did this about 30 minutes ago so, I am still playing around.
==============
Update from 22 - Aug 2011 @ 13:45 CDT
After completing yesterday's work; Today my goal was to get this thing fully working. I was able to create and log into a webOS Account ad even access the App Catalouge. Steps below.
[SIZE=+2]II. Create/Log in to webOS profile for DEMO 32GB Touchpads[/SIZE]
Information found:
Installing Preware with WebOS Quick Install
WebOS Quick Install v4.2.3
Impostah
Steps:
1. Download WebOS Quick Install (check the links above)
2. Open the afrorementioned downloaded file (i.e. WebOSQuickInstall-4.2.3.jar)
3. If your TouchPad is not connected, you will get a message that says "No Devices Found". Connect your TouchPad and hit OK.
3. Click the third button on the right (the globe icon)
4. Select the Applications tab at the top
5. Search for Preware
6. Click Install.
7. On you Touchpad, on the home screen hit the Launcher icon (on the bottom right, looks like an arrow) and go to the Downloads Tab
8. Touch/open the program Preware
9. In the top right corner, touch/open the Magnifying Glass and type in "Impostah". Click the one result that comes up.
10. At the bottom of the description page you should see a Install button; touch/click to install the program.
11. Once the download and install is complete, you should be able to launch the program. (If you are brought back to the Launcher, Impostah can be found in the Downloads tab)
12. Once Impostah is launched, select the Activation button.
13a. For Existing webOS Account holders You should be able to type in your email address and password and hit Login To Profile.
13b. For New Users, type in the email address you wish to associate your account with and the password you wish to use. Then hit the Create New Profile button. You should see message asking you to confirm that you wish to proceed. To continue simply hit the green "Create New Profile" button.
14. To verify that your TouchPad has your webOS Account associated with your device. Open the Launcher, go to the Settings Tab, then touch/open the "Device Info" icon. You should see the e-mail address you used to register/log-in to your account listed in the "HP webOS Account" field. If the "Name" field is blank, you will need to tap the blank area and enter your name.
15. You are done! Enjoy! You can now access the HP App catalog and other webOS features.
If you want to verify your account was created, you canlog-in to your webOS Account here: Manage my HP webOS Account
Thanks to everyone else here and they guys over at webOS roundup for some guidance.
It looks like from what others have said that the DEMO's are now OK to register. You simply need to run webOS Doctor to get the latest build and you should be able to log-in and/or create a new account.
Can anyone confirm that they have been able to register their demo units?
I re-flashed to the stock webOS 3.0.2
http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/touchpad/p302r0d08012011/wifip302rod/webosdoctorp302hstnhwifi.jar
and was able to register a new account. I even was able to log into my existing account.
Upgrade to 3.0.2
Hi,
I'm currently doing the upgrade to the latest version on a demo unit 32GB Model and it has stayed stuck at 62% on step 1g for 25 minutes, and I'm starting to get nervous. I haven't touched the installation and on the tablet screen it still appears as if it's doing the upgrade, what options do I have?
in the "just type" feature type
1. webos20090606
2. Hit the Developer Mode icon that appears.
3. That’s it, you’re ready to install anything on your TouchPad.
@ King 003
Hi,
Thanks for your reply but in the current point in the installation i don't have a screen to type anything i'm strill trying to do the upgrade to web os 3.0.2 and it's stuck at 62%
something happen to me, I just turned the touchpad off
This worked like a charm, and the best part, once I ran WebOS Doctor, I didn't have to do anything else, I was able to create an account and now I'm enjoying a full webos experience!! Thanks XDA!
Help!
I am getting a error code of PAMS9999 "Generic Fault" when I try to register an existing account or set-up a new one on my touchpad. I have tried after the doctor, and followed the additional steps for the full hack, but I still am unable to set-up any webos accounts on the device.
Any suggestion??
i'm not able to create a new account... I use to have a palm pre and i can't login with that account either.

It would seem that an unverified report from multiple sources are stating that HP has released the registration lock on all demo units, rendering the Impostah & activation bypass moot. All that needs to be done is a refresh of the system software using the retail webOS 3.0.2 doctor. At this point, you should be able to treat your TouchPad as a retail unit.
Nope still not working...
zeyfx,
Nope I tried many times last night, and i just tried again while at work.
I have already run the webos doctor3.02, but i'm still not able to create an account.
the error at the bottom is pams9999

I work for a retail outlet and the reason most stores cannot sell the demo units is because HP sent special units just for demo, in our store when we go to sell it the price comes up at $9,999. We did have a visit from our hp rep today and he told me to get it out of demo mode you can type in #demo##. Im not able to test it so I have no idea if it actually works just thought i would pass that along.

Same problem here, I get PAMS3014, and I found out this means invalid product ID, no product SKU. Now im stuck.
I wonder if they blocked us again?
Working Solution
I posted this over at Pre Central (my account name there is jovo55) and figured I should post it here also for everyone at XDA.
I think I might have solved the problem.
I followed the instructions in the OP and was still getting the error when trying to register a new webOS account even with Impostah. I decided to just play around with Preware and Impostah and see what stuff could be done to the touchpad. While doing so, I think I figured out how to get Impostah to register a webOS account on a demo touchpad.
These are the steps I did:
1. Follow the steps in the OP exactly. (Thanks bluepoint951)
2. When you reach the point that Impostah fails to register your new webOS account reboot your touchpad. (See OP for reboot instructions)
3. Open Preware and add the testing feeds for the touchpad (armv7) (Instructions here: www(dot)webos-internals(dot)org/wiki/Testing_Feeds ) *Sorry but xda won't allow me to post the hyperlink*
4. Tap Preware menu in top left corner and then choose "Update Feeds".
5. After feeds update, tap the magnifying glass at the top right.
6. Search for "Device Profile Service Override" (without the quotes) and install.
7. After install reboot your touchpad again.
8. After startup run Impostah again and activate a new account.
That's it. You should now get a successful activation with Impostah. You'll now have full access to the HP App Catalog and everything else that comes with having a webOS account.
I hope that helps everyone out. If you have any issues still, post them. I'll try and help.
Good luck everyone.

Ok, this is gonna be a life saver for all the new people that just got here or the ones already here still trying to figure out how to upgrade to WM6. I'm gonna be showing you how to upgrade to Black Majik's cooked version of WM6.
This took me days of reading, and tons of trial and error but once I got it down, it was damn easy to do.
First off, I will give credit to all the sites that I had to read and sift through to find out what to do.
Mr. Vanx's Site - Excellent source of step by step info and more. Make sure to visit. Without this site I wouldn't have been able to do anything relying only on this forum.
XDA-Developers - I gotta give some credit to this site as some people are actually nice enough to help out on some of the small things that drove me crazy.
Win4Mobile - I haven't researched or used this site except to download some files I needed to complete this procedure. Thanks!
Google - This is one of the best search engines I have ever used and one I always eventually turn to when I have questions I need to find answers for.
Before we get started, this is what I am using to do the whole upgrade so no one needs to ask about it:
HARDWARE
Windows XP w/SP2
AMD XP Computer system, not super up to date but who cares it works.
AT&T 8525 Phone
Original USB cable that came inside the box.
Sandisk 2GB MicroSD Card - Not required but HIGHLY recommended. Don't be a cheapass, just buy one.
SOFTWARE
Download all these programs beforehand so it helps save time doing it individually later on and put them into a folder named 8525 or something that you can easily find.
SPL (Bootloader) version 2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7)
Radio version 1.43.00.00 (Optional but RECOMMENDED!)
ROM version: Windows Mobile 6 Black Majik
WPBEAR Custom CAB ATT/Cingular Settings - You need this if you want to be able to connect to MEdia Net. (Note: I used the version without the typical keyboard settings. You can use the one with it if you want. Download that version here - Keyboard)
WinRar - To extract any compressed files.
Keyboard Symbols Fix for 8525 - You will need to register to the site to download this file. This will fix the symbols because on this ROM the symbols are in different places than indicated on the physical keyboard.
Microsoft .net 2.0 Framework - You will need to have this installed on your system first before attempting any of this.
Microsoft ActiveSynce 4.5
DISCLAIMER: Carrying out the operations discussed in this guide will invalidate any manufacturers or carriers warranty and by following this guide YOU take responsibility for this. This upgrade guide is what it says (a guide) and I take no responsibility for any problems which occur due to use of this guide, by following the instructions EXACTLY there should be very little chance of a ruined device. If at any time the upgrade process is interrupted go straight to THIS THREAD in XDA-Developers to try to resolve the problem.
(Copied this little section from Mr. Vanx's site)
Okay lets get down to the nitty gritty of this. This How-To is a combined with info and links to Mr. Vanx's guide. I've streamlined and included some missing info that was pretty vital to completing the process.
STEP 1
A. Install ActiveSync 4.5 on your computer - Just follow the prompts, it installs pretty much the same way as every other program on your computer.
STEP 2
Since we're flashing to a new ROM all your old stuff will be ERASED! So we need to backup all the stuff you want and record all the settings you need.
A. We need to write down your device's name. To find that go to:
Start>Settings>System(Tab)>About(Icon)>Device ID(Tab)
If you don't record this down, then any programs you have payed for and installed won't work when you flash to the new ROM.
B. Move any documents you want onto either a MicroSD card or sync to your computer and upload it there.
C. Last, you need to write down any settings you use for programs such as Skype, BlackBerry Connect, etc. If you also have your email Pushed and/or Sync your contacts/tasks/calander with a remote server over GPRS then make sure to record those settings as well.
Note: I won't show you how to backup your programs you have installed because I didn't have any I needed or I was able to get them again and easily download and reinstall afterwards. Plus it's not the same way to backup every program that's out there so please use this forum and post on how to do that. Of course search for it to see if someone has already posted about it first.
STEP 3
A. Press and hold both the side buttons "OK" & the Power button and then at the same time use your stylus and hit the Reset button in the hole at the bottom of your 8525. Make sure you hold it down until you see the Bootloader screen and then you can let go of all the buttons.
B. Make note of the SPL version you have on your device. You don't need any other info, just the SPL version. If your SPL version is 2.10.olipro then you ALREADY HAVE HardSPLv7. You do not need to flash it again, just do a Soft Reset and move on to STEP 4.
C. Do a soft reset by using your stylus and hitting the Reset button in the hole at the bottom of your 8525 again.
D. Extract the HardSPLv7 file into a folder called HardSPL. You should have the two below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
E. Connect your 8525 to your computer using the USB cable that should have been included with your device. Only connect using the USB cable and no other way. Once connected, ActiveSync and your 8525 will take a little while to Sync up to each other. Let it do it's thing and wait until ActiveSync says "Connected".
F. Run the RUUWrapper.exe file. You will see a series of screens as below. Make sure to select all options colored in
RED
Follow this Link and follow the screens all the way to the bottom and come back here after the last screenshot. Do not continue onto the next page on Mr. Vanx's site yet.
IMPORTANT NOTE - You need to keep watch of your 8525 because a screen will pop up at the bottom of your device confirming to install the software. Make sure you select YES!
STEP 4
A. Now extract the HERM_Radinly_1.43.00.00_CustomRUU.rar file into a folder called "Radio".
B. You should get two files below:
C. As in Step 3, follow this Link and do the exact same thing. Come back here when you're done and also make sure to keep an eye on your 8525 once again because it will ask you to allow the install on your 8525. Again make sure to select YES.
D. After the Radio has installed, we will go to make sure it is the correct version. Go to:
Start>Settings>System(Tab)>Device Information(Icon)
The Radio should say "1.43.00.00".
STEP 5
A. Finally extract the BlackMAJIK.exe file and run it. Follow this Link and follow the screens once again and come back here when you're done. Hopefully you should remember but in case if you didn't, make sure to keep an eye on your 8525 and allow the program to install by selecting YES.
B. If you have followed the steps exactly up to this point, you will then next hear an audible tone on your device and you will go through the Device setup as normal. That includes setting the time/date, alignment, etc. But once you get to the email screen, press "Skip". That will be covered in the next part.
C. Disconnect the device from the computer and reconnect it. ActiveSync should recognize it and just let the computer and device Sync to each other. Follow the instructions on the following Link and come back here when you're done.
D. Copy both the Keyboard Symbols 8525 Fix.cab & wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab (wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab if you wanted the original keyboard settings) to your device using ActiveSync and open them up on your 8525 to install them.
E. Install any other programs you may have and load on your documents if wanted and you're all done!
Hopefully this How-To will help someone. I know it would have saved me tons of time and effort. Enjoy!!!

Yeah but that's 3 different places you need to go to read all about it. My post is like the way it is because of the fact that you can't post more than 10 pics on a thread, and only limited to so many characters.
Otherwise it truly would have been a one stop deal here. Jumping around is stupid and only leads to confusion for a lot of people and plenty of mistakes are usually made somewhere inbetween.
Honestly, most of the threads I have read aren't the easiest to decipher on how to do things.

Where exactly do you encounter that message in step 3? There are sub steps within the whole step 3.
Make sure you are looking at the screen on your 8525 when trying to install the SPL on your device from your computer. Your 8525 will ask to confirm if you will allow the install. I've made that point clear and that was missing in any instructions I have ever read before.
I figure it out...nevermind
I hadnt downloaded NET Framework yet!
Contacts?
I have followed all directions. All seems well except I can't get access to "my contacts" for some reason. I have done a soft reset several times. Not sure what to do. I really need access to my contacts (at the very least).
plz help
If I don't hear back soon I guess I will have to rid myself of Black Majik....I need my contacts...this is crucial. I even copied my pim.vol to the usual location but it is just like it isn't there. Nothing comes up from my contact list. I even see on MY DEVICE that the pim.vol file had been replaced with my saved one that I had pasted...but when I go to contacts...its like it never happened...no contacts...
Weird, I'm sorry but I didn't have any problems with my contacts. Then again I always backed them up to my sim card just in case if something like this happens.

Actually, those were 3 different resources. The first link was to the actual tutorial which was similar to yours. The other links were for related tutorials and guides, as MrVanx has done several upgrade guides for different OS, Radio, and Bootloader/SPL roms.
Well I like how mine CLEARLY defines what the thread is about. If there was one like this that easily told us what to do, I wouldn't have bothered wasting my time making my thread.
corrupt pim.vol file
I discovered that i have a corrupted pim.vol file! What does this mean and how do I fix this? I was told that I may need to downgrade back to wm5 but I need a step by step for this...lol...if I go back to my original ROM can I keep the SPLv7?
LOVE IT!!! Thanks for putting it together in a cohesive package so a first time flasher will know what to do!
Ive been messing with mine for a while but finally flashed it today.
Everything went fine, GOOD WORK!

See www.mrvanx.org for downgrade guides.
Yes, you can keep HardSPL. You only downgrade the SPL back if you are sending the phone in for service.
If I were you, I would just try to reflash a WM6 ROM instead of rolling back t WM5. I cannot see why a corrupt pim.vol file would have anything to do with your OS version. (But, I do not definitively know either.)
Excellent Work !
Xyberz excellent work, hats off to you
I did this basic setup for my woot acquired GTAB. The primary reason was to keep the stock ROM but get the fully functional Android Market. I wanted to give these instructions out to real newbies who may want to do the bare minimum to keep their TAB up and running with all apps and without doing a flash with custom ROM. I wanted to include a more step by step for people who are less tech savvy so please bear with the details if you are a tech guy.
1. Get the Over The Air update to update to 3588. The OTA push happens automatically if you have connectivity (wifi is setup). You can also check it via the updates app that should have come with the stock ROM.
2. Download the enhancement pack - TnT Enhancement Pack v3.1.4b file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=74HGJNEL to your desktop or laptop. The file name should be TnT_Enhancement_3389_v3_1_4b.rar
3. Try opening the file using winzip or any zip program. If it doesn't install winrar version available at http://www.win-rar.com/download.html.
4. Extract contents to a local folder on your computer using the zip/ winrar program. It has files update.zip, a recover folder that contains a command file
5. Connect your TAB to the computer with the min-usb cable and activate the usb transfer (I think it comes up with that option)
6. GTAB should show up as another drive in your system. With windows explorer browse this drive to locate the "sdcard" folder.
7. Copy the update.zip and recover (containing command file) folder from the location you extracted on your computer (step 4) into the sdcard folder identified on step 6.
8. Power off
9. Power on by pressing and holding the volume + button and the power button simultaneously.
10. The TAB should show a open box screen in a few seconds and after some time should turn back on to the main screen with new apps installed. You should see the market apps icon as well
11. Do the market fix remedy to see all applications in the market by steps below. I added an alternate market fix (if you don't see all apps)
a) Run market
b) Open settings->applications->system applications
c) Force close Google Services Framework, then Force Close Market
d Go back to Google Services Framework, then clear data
e) Run market and confirm you get an error
f) Reboot
g) Wait 2 minutes and try Market to get all applications
h) If this doesn't work, look at the directions again and make sure you follow them exactly
Alternate market fix Steps - I haven't tested this but looks like a few extra steps (You need Titanium Backup installed and have opened Market and surfed around a bit. Thanks to blackjaguar who pointed to this)
1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop
2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop
3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup
4. Select Backup/Restore tab
5. Select Google Services Framework
6. Select Wipe Data

I just got my gtab from woot and basically wanted the same thing you did: the stock gtab plus the market. I followed your directions after spending the last week reading the massive amounts of posts on this forum. The only thing I did differently was installing CWM between steps 1 and 2, and repartitioning to the recommended 2048/0. It seemed like most people end up having to do that at some point. Your market fix however, didn't work at all for me. There's another fix posted by tsm26 that worked great for me. Its slightly different:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12563333&postcount=4400
The only app I still can't find in the market is Firefox, but luckily its available from ftp.mozilla.org.
EDIT: Just got the acore process problem, and had no contacts or /data/data folder at all. Used this fix and the problem is gone. Looks like it works for TnT Enhanced as well:

from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.

I am going to update this with alternate market fix for anyone who is interested. Thanks.
Step 6 confused?
Just received my gtab and following your steps to install this upgrade, however after connecting gtab to laptop I see 4 folders at the root of "E:" when browsing through windows. I assume that "E:" is the sdcard directory and these folders are located in it. The folders I can see in this directory under the windows "E:" drive are - .android_secure, Android, DCIM & LOST.DIR. However if I browse to the "sdcard" folder using the file explorer on my gtab I don't see the .android_secure folder, but do see a folder called "update.zip", that I don't see when browsing the "E:" drive in windows. Now I am really confused? Do I delete or rename the "update.zip" directory currently residing in the "sdcard" directory on the gtab and then copy over the recover and update.zip folders that I just downloaded?
My tap ui version is 1.1-3389.
Are there any suggestions?
I think you need to disable the USB sharing and you will see the files.
This worked like a charm. I decided not to root and mod, at least for now, so getting the market is great. I didn't show the sdcard directory, but I had update and an empty recovery directory, so I just replaced them (after copying the old update.zip). It wiped out the photos and videos apps on my main screen, but I found some interesting replacements. And the market fix worked great too.
But I still can't find Words With Friends... Just checked the market from my laptop and it thinks it's not compatible with my device. Oh well.
I followed the instructions to the T and the market wont work... someone please help!!!!!
The first set of instructions did not work for me, but the alternate set did work. I now appear to have a full market. Awesome!
Just for the record, I am running the stock ROM updated to the latest VS release.
EDIT: Whoops, spoke too soon. No apps will download from the Market. When I try to download a free app, I get a "Starting download..." message but that's it. I'm also doing this at work... I think port 5228 might be blocked. Is this the reason? I will attempt from home tonight...
Help!

I've gotten to this point, but how long is some time, it has never turned back on to the main screen and now really won't boot at all, just goes to a blank screen and sit there.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated! Hope I haven't done something terribly wrong!
Spoke too soon?
Maybe I spoke too soon. Doing the market fix got me a lot more on the market, but there's still a lot of apps that I can't get. So many devs put their apps in market and nowhere else. Don't they realize that this is not itunes? (BTW, I've hit web sites that send me to itunes to download their apps...) How many other devices has google not approved for the market and are stuck like this? Even Firefox is undownloadable on my Android. Is that really the market fix or should I be able to access more?
So frustrating, but finally something seems to work
OK, new theory. Apparently I had to do the market fix twice. I also followed the video on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9817939&postcount=17
That's not the gtab, so it looks a little different in the menus, but the steps still worked. I guess it threw in an extra step of clearing cache on market and force stopping it before stopping google services framework. Well, Firefox doesn't show up in market, but so far everything else does. Now I have to try to remember everything I've been trying to download.
I had to do the Market fix twice, but that was no sweat.
Perfect, gunajay; thank you very much for your concise directions.

I did this basic setup for my woot acquired GTAB. The primary reason was to keep the stock ROM but get the fully functional Android Market. I wanted to give these instructions out to real newbies who may want to do the bare minimum to keep their TAB up and running with all apps and without doing a flash with custom ROM. I wanted to include a more step by step for people who are less tech savvy so please bear with the details if you are a tech guy.
1. Get the Over The Air update to update to 3588. The OTA push happens automatically if you have connectivity (wifi is setup). You can also check it via the updates app that should have come with the stock ROM.
2. Download the enhancement pack - TnT Enhancement Pack v3.1.4b file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=74HGJNEL to your desktop or laptop. The file name should be TnT_Enhancement_3389_v3_1_4b.rar
3. Try opening the file using winzip or any zip program. If it doesn't install winrar version available at http://www.win-rar.com/download.html.
4. Extract contents to a local folder on your computer using the zip/ winrar program. It has files update.zip, a recover folder that contains a command file
5. Connect your TAB to the computer with the min-usb cable and activate the usb transfer (I think it comes up with that option)
6. GTAB should show up as another drive in your system. With windows explorer browse this drive to locate the "sdcard" folder.
7. Copy the update.zip and recover (containing command file) folder from the location you extracted on your computer (step 4) into the sdcard folder identified on step 6.
8. Power off
9. Power on by pressing and holding the volume + button and the power button simultaneously.
10. The TAB should show a open box screen in a few seconds and after some time should turn back on to the main screen with new apps installed. You should see the market apps icon as well
11. Do the market fix remedy to see all applications in the market by steps below. I added an alternate market fix (if you don't see all apps)
a) Run market
b) Open settings->applications->system applications
c) Force close Google Services Framework, then Force Close Market
d Go back to Google Services Framework, then clear data
e) Run market and confirm you get an error
f) Reboot
g) Wait 2 minutes and try Market to get all applications
h) If this doesn't work, look at the directions again and make sure you follow them exactly
Alternate market fix Steps - I haven't tested this but looks like a few extra steps (You need Titanium Backup installed and have opened Market and surfed around a bit. Thanks to blackjaguar who pointed to this)
1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop
2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop
3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup
4. Select Backup/Restore tab
5. Select Google Services Framework
6. Select Wipe Data
7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)
8. Reboot your tablet
9. Open Market and you will have full market

Everything is working great using this Enhancement Pack and Market Fix. My question is whether my gTab is still considered stock with these changes? The forum messages about the new firmware update all caution against applying it if you are running an alternate firmware from 3588. I don't know if I am under the Enhancement Pack and Market Fix scenario or not.
no sdcard - help please
Hello all, found this post and as a complete newbie I was excited to see what the GTAB could be transformed into. Not quite ready for custom ROMS so I figured I'd start with Clockworkmod and trying to install the standard android market.
Problem is when I hook up my gtab I don't see an "sdcard" folder... Anybody have any ideas why that would be? How do I work around it?
I have the following folders:
.android_secure
Android
clockworkmod
DCIM
download
kindle
LOST.DIR
Master
Music
Photos
recovery
Videos
update.rar
Thanks in advance for your help!
Will this work with 4349?
Does anyone know if gunajay's instructions will work with with Stock 4349 and Market?

SDCARD is the folder that is mounted on your computer when you connect via USB. The list above are the contents of your SDCARD.
Doh. ;-) That worked. Thank you very much for the explanation K J Rad!
Hello everyone. I'm a new TouchPad owner here, and a new member of precentral as well Having the TouchPad so far has been a great exerience, but I was a little ticked off that I could not read anything in Vietnamese when I come across websites such as yahoo.vn or vnexpress.net. Even youtube search in Vietnamese do not appear correctly, all I see is square box So I begin to dig around the net and found that HP decide to get rid of Unicode in all their fonts! Luckily I found this Vietnamese website who was very informative on finding how to add Unicode fonts to the TouchPad but was missing key fonts here and there, and applications wasn't working correctly without "stock" fonts. So without further adieu, here are the instructions to adding unicode fonts to your TouchPad! I believe these will only work for non-character asian sites, beside chinese.
1. Make sure your TouchPad has enough battery life, greater than 50%. Plug your TP into your computer or laptop, and set to USB mode.
2. Download this Unicode Fonts, and extract it as is to your TP drive on the computer. Note: Again extract as is directly to the HP TouchPad drive in your computer, not any other folder.
3. Disconnect USB mode by safely remove hardware, but leave the wire still connected. Turn on Developer Mode on your TP, and open WeOSQuickInstall.jar. You should know how to do this already, if not read up on it before proceeding!
4. Click on Tools, then Linux Commandline. Copy this command without quotes "mount -o remount,rw /" and paste to the window that appeared after you click on Linux Commandline, then hit enter on your laptop or pc. Do not do CTRL+V for paste as it will not work, you have to physically right click and select paste!
5. Copy this command without quotes "cp media/internal/HPbackupunicodefonts/*.* usr/share/fonts", and hit enter on your laptop or pc. Again, do not do CTRL+V, as I know a lot of people would love to do just that. Wait a few seconds until it finish and you see two lines displaying "[email protected]" Then you're done.
6. Remove the usb cord from your TP, clear cache out from your browser on your TouchPad (you should know how to do this already too, if not search here or google ) Reboot your TP completely, not luna restart, but complete restart it.
7. Enjoy
Mod please make this a sticky as I think it's necessary because this took me quite a few days of trial and error to find out what fonts were needed, and to have all games/apps to work! If anyone can, please spread this news out to your fellow friends and websites but please do not take sole credit for it.
Thanks all!

OP, did you get it from this website? http://www.tinhte.vn/hoi-dap-chia-s...ng-viet-cho-webos-3-0-2-updated-again-819453/
I used this, but there are some rare instances where it does not display correctly, it might have to with the type of input for vietnamese characters. Is yours the same as this or different?
Thanks OP, I am sure your post will be useful for other languages as well.
Since the instructions above is slightly incomplete here are a few pointers if you are lost.
1. developer's mode:
type webos20090606 on your touchpad's main screen's justtype search bar
turn on developer's mode, dont need to enter a password. When complete, restart your touchpad by holding power and main button
2. download webosquickinstall from here and run it from your PC. This will allow you to run command line from your PC when your touchpad is attached to the usb port in dev mode.
http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-coding/274461-webos-quick-install-v4-0-a.html
3. after you install the unicode, restart your touchpad by holding power & main button or your fonts will be all messed up in your browser.
I was successfully able to install this without any issues as of yet.
#5 in your instruction is wrong. it should be like this:
cp media/internal/*.ttf usr/share/fonts
#3 (after step 3, user need to use Novaterm in order to login as root in the shell).
thanks.

Why do you do media/internal/*.ttf if fonts aren't there? media/internal/FOLDER FONTS/*.* is right.
Plus, if you use webOS quick install, you have automatically root.

Strange display for the keyboard
Thanks for the steps to install Unicode fonts. It works well before 3.0.4 update.
After the update one of the big key from the keyboard "A B C" changed to "A[]B[]C[]". When you pressed this key to change the character from "A B C" to "+ - =" there is space inserted with "[]" in between. Please kindly help me how to fix it. It's just the display of the keyboard changed from
"A B C" to "A[]B[]C[]"
or
"+[]-[]=[]"
I did re-add the fonts again and I even tried to run the WebOS Doctor to reset it, but the result is the same. Display some strange character for that key. Everything else works fine!
Any help to fix it would be highly appreciated. Thank you
So can anyone answer Willy's question regarding this issue post v3.0.4 update? I bought my father an HP Touchpad mainly to view Vietnamese websites (& YouTube, LOL) since he doesn't need tons of apps however, it's useless to him until he can view these sites. I'd like to load the Unicode instructions but not going to do so until this is resolved. Thanks!
Does anyone know where I could find these fonts? Megaupload is closed and there has been no mirrors posted anywhere for these fonts. Thanks.
Regards.
So, I got a Zte Avid Plus z828 (t mobile no sim card) that has frp so basically i cant get pass the google account verification screen. I have found a way to get into the settings and enable developer mode without no otg method or apk methods. I simply used the text to speech method where i open the source for that and then open up google and search settings allowing me to access the settings and enable developer mode via build version.
Now here's the problem I can click backup and reset but when i actually click RESET PHONE nothing happens. I can keep on clicking it and nothing will happen it's a button thats just there. I want to enable USB debugging with hopes of using adb shell and wiping the phone that way but i can't even access the developer settings. I click on the developer settings and nothing happens its the same situation with the RESET PHONE option. Why is this occurring? Anyone have any advice as to how i can get around this? I've tried downloading apks that would open the developer settings but it opens for less then a second then instantly closes. I'm new here so i'm not even sure if this is where i was supposed to even post this, sorry if it wasn't the correct place to post this. if you need me to elaborate anymore just ask, i'll gladly do it.
Hello Friend!! I also have the same problem with this phone. but I have not been able to enter the menu. as you could enter the menu of the z828? Thank you

Yeah I'll make a short guide I can try to post screenshots later but for now i'll try my best to guide you to the point where I am.
1. Go through the setup until you get to the google verifying part.
2. Open up your keyboard and hold down the comma to access the gear which will allow you to get into the google keyboard settings.
3. Once you're at the google keyboard settings go to Text Correction.
4. Then go to Personal Dictionary and select English (US) or whatever you have there.
5. Then click on the search button and just type random letters and hit search is what i did to get to this next step.
6.. You should be able to type in the letter "g" and you should see something called google voice typing
7. click that and go to Text-to-speech.
8. Then click the blue gear next to google text to speech
9. click install voice data
10. you should see 3 dots on the top right hand corner open that and click open source licenses
11. once you're at this part just simply hold a line down as if you were going to copy it.
12. you should see about 4 options on what you want to do with that line like copy or share it search it on the web.
13. what you want to do is click search, its the fourth option.
14. delete whatever is on the search and type in settings the option to access the settings should pop up on the bottom as a suggestion.
15. click that and now you're at the settings.
From here on i assume you know how to access the about phone and turn on developer settings but this is the problem you can turn it on but you cant access the developer menu you can just click it and nothing will happen. same for trying to reset the phone from the back up and reset menu.
if anybody knows what the case may be please let me know i'm constantly trying to find the solution to this whenever i have the free time but so far no solution has came up. i am able to download apks by instead of typing in settings on the google search i type in file manager and simply transfer over the apk through my pc onto the phone. that i can do without usb debugging becasue my pc picks the phone up as a portable device.
I fixed the zte avid plus z828 frp problem!
Dont mean to double post but after a week of trial and error I solved the problem. I bypassed the FRP and Hard resetted the phone. Phone's working 100% now. I can probably post a guide somewhere I guess if highly requested.
Feel free to close the thread as the problem is solved

Hello yerhope!
from your last report on zte z828 frp bypass, i understood that you finally fix the , not able to access the Developer option nor access the factory reset. I am very keen to know how you did it.
I am a victim of this same circumstance.
guide please?
cant click reset my self
Hey, I would like to highly request the tutorial....
Furthermore, I'd like to say I've poured over these sort of sites, rephrased my questions, etcetc all trying to get the same things accomplished, getting past the google password, and yet you with your quick clearly stated actually step by step explanation were the one to get me the farthest in fixing this problem. :highfive:

He said he resolved problem but put no feedback so others can benefit, I really doubt he resolved the problem of bypassing or unlocking or rooting his phone, he probably slammed it on the floor and resolved the problem that way. We don't need people like that here. I will try it when I get a zte z828 from someone that has the same problem, I will post feedback if I am successful or not, so by July 15, 2016, I should now if it is possible.

He did get in. I did get in myself but when i tap factory reset nothing happen.
(Security patched)
Maybe he did resolve it like i did.
Root and remove it with gcpro
Thats what i did.
On some ZTE phones (has worked on 1 but not another for me), you can use the emergency dialer to dial:
*983*987#
This will lead you directly into factory reset options (if it works).

Okay, I spent more time than i care to admit on getting through this frp. I have z3x and a few other utilities and i use them when i can, but i don't honestly lay hands on ZTE very often. Anyway, you do NOT need GC or any other box--
so following the last poster's steps (credit to yerhope):
9. click install voice data
10. you should see 3 dots on the top right hand corner open that and click open source licenses
11. once you're at this part just simply hold a line down as if you were going to copy it.
12. you should see about 4 options on what you want to do with that line like copy or share it search it on the web.
13. what you want to do is click search, its the fourth option.
this is where he leaves off... and where i pick up.
14. Download "quickshortcut maker" apk to your computer (or copy from apk extractor on a phone or any other method..
15. Select z828 in my computer and copy quickshortcut maker to downloads
16. On the phone, after clicking the search button, clear the browser box and type in "file manager" - it will show up just below. select it
17. Go to downloads in the file manager and select quickshortcut maker
18. install the app, blah blah blah
19. Once in the app, search "google account" you will have several pop up
20. Select the one that says "email and password" when you do, it will ask for a password to an account you aren't sure of.
21. click menu on top right - Browser sign in is the option - click it
22. Sign in to your email and account
23. Once you are signed in, press and hold power for a soft reset (restart)
24. Proceed as usual to wifi page and BOOM!
25. Profit. not much though, cuz its still a ZTE.

Yerhopes solution worked for my zte lever
Follow yerhopes solution after step 15 while in settings go to backup and reset make sure back up data is off then factory reset erase Everything phone will reboot old owners info gone no need to download anything worked for 2 Zte levers i bought from ebay.
Bought a EE Jay Tablet (also a ZTE tablet) that had FRP enabled, easiest way I could do it was
1. connect to wifi, get to the previous account required screen.
2. open the keyboard and hold the @ symbol and open the keyboard settings.
3. top right corner press the 3 dots and choose help and type in apps in the search box.
4. access the app settings screen via the link from the help section then goto all and launch settings app
5. enable unknown sources in security and return to app settings screen and launch chrome this time or any browser.
6. goto http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Apps and download this file com.sika524.android.quickshortcut.apk
7. you may get a download notification that the file has finished if not go back again to the app settings screen and all again and launch downloads app
8. you will now see the file download open it and install and then open the app
9. in the quick shortcut app search for google account and choose email and password and select try
10. now the google accounts manager has launched, in the top right corner press the 3 dots and choose browser sign-in
11. sign in with a google account and once done it will close and go back to the quick shortcut maker.
12. you still won't have access yet but all I done was reboot the device and continued the setup, this time there was no errors or required sign in and had full access.
Hope this helps someone, this was basically a copy of this video which may be helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKdVvBSIb0M

I used this method, personally, for zte Avid I believe. Yerhope's solution works for some firmwares prior to firmware i was on. i'm sorry, i do not recall that at this moment as it was some time ago. if Yerhope's solution is not effective for you, then progresss to my steps that pick up right where previous solution left off. so once again, YES, this worked on my device, did not test for others. my understanding is kingo can acquire root access in a special way as well that will allow you to adb clear frp. looking for commands? i do not have them sorry.
I was able to make activate google assistant in my rooted android instance on Chromebook Pro. However, I get stuck on the screen "setting not supported". Any ideas? Assistant on this thing would be a game changer. I can't take a picture of the actual error box because google greys out screenshots when sensitive dialog boxes are being displayed. The warning is literally just "setting not supported" I'm guessing there is no assistant support at all in this version of android but maybe it's possible to add it?
can chromebook plus do that?
can you please post your method?
I had it!!!!
I was able to get Google Assistant working on my rooted Chromebook cb3 - 532 using Google app version 6.11.19.21 and the latest assistant app on the playstore.. However, no sooner than I updated, it was no longer working. I came up with another idea which I'm trying out now.... I'm attempting to alter two PROP files using the rooting shell scripts provided by Nolirium at blogspot for rooting chrome os to make the drive writable and set selinux to permissive, in order for my changes to build.prop and default.prop to survive the reboot, and be effective.

Hey!!!
Actually it is possible on all chromebooks in the canary channel. I’ve done it to my dell chromebook 11 candy model from 2015. Here is how you do it:
1. Be in developer mode (assuming you already are in it.)
If you aren’t in it and don’t know how to, press esc+refresh+power. When it boots up, press control+d and again when it boots up again. NOTE THIS DOES POWER WASH YOUR DEVICE!!!
2. Once you sign into your account again, press control+alt+t and a terminal will show.
3. Type in “shell” and hit enter.
4.Then type in “live_in_a_coal_mine” and press enter again.
5. Press “y”
6. when it is done, go to your settings and update your machine.
7. When it is done, go to chrome://flags and search for “assistant” and then enable it.
8. Then reboot.
9. When your device is done rebooting, go to chrome://assistant-optin and follow the instructions. 10. Then you have google assistant installed!!!
You can find it in the launcher. It’s the assistant button next to the search bar. If you set voice activation, you can also activate it by saying “ok google” or “hey google”
