I'm on cm7 but that's all I've got. I followed these instructions and now I can't dual boot, and I don't have clockworkmodrecovery.
Here is what I did.
1: created cminstall folder in root (palm/cminstall) and added the tenderloin, cwm and moboot .zip files. I know the moboot wasn't necessary.
2: Installed novacom drivers
3: ran “C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\novacom” boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller in cmd.
I also tried to install the acmeinstaller again but my tp goes to the HP logo and stays there.

I had gapps in the cminstall folder when I used novacom. I booted the Tablet into CM7 and it went directly to the desktop. No 'First Time Setup' screen where you click on the Android cartoon or Market.
do it in CWM.
Just did. Let's see.......
It worked. Thanks. Admins please delete.
I had my gapps in the cminstall folder during install and it worked fine. Just make sure the gapps file is properly named....update-* I believe. Either way will work fine.
I seem to have installed it but when I reboot and should be offered the chance to boot into WebOS or Cyanogen I am offered:
boot webOS
boot ClockworkMod
boot webOS recovery
reboot
shutdown
What have I done wrong and could it be qa case of just having to start again? I want to make sure that's safe, that's why I'm posting. Maybe I should add that I couldn't find the folder where the Novacom drivers were installed (on a mac Lion 7.2) so just typed this into Terminal
novacom boot mem:// </Users/tonyohooligan/Desktop/ACMEInstaller
Andy ideas?
There should be a "Space" after the "<" sign.
novacom boot mem:// < /Users/tonyohooligan/Desktop/ACMEInstaller
Did you place the GAPPS moboot Clockwork and CM7 .zip on the cminstall folder?
Also make sure you add "update-" at the beginning of every .zip
Hope that helps.
OK, there wasn't a space so there's something I have got wrong. Can I just start again from the beginning (placing the zip files in the cminstall folder, running ACMEInstaller etc) without damaging anything? Not sure about what you mean about adding 'update-' at the beginning of every .zip, is that to the start of the file name of each .zip if I attempt the procedure again? Thanks for replying BTW, much appreciated.

Yes the "update-" at the start of every files helps the ACMEInstaller identify everything properly. Give it a try again.
Good Luck.
Will do, I'll let you know how it goes....
Rather annoyingly I have got the same result, no Cyanogen option at the multi boot stage. All zip files have gone from the cminstall folder as well. I rather get the feeling that I need to erase everything and start again but have no idea how to do that...
I wonder if I use Clockwork Mod to install Cyanogen, reckon that will work?
Hmm, got a message saying that it can't open the zip (bad). Going to download that file (update-cm-7.1.0-tenderloin-a2.1-fullofbugs.zip) again.

Try running the ACMEUninstaller. You do so the same way you do the Installer and start all over again. Seems weird you cannot get it done. Are you sure the folder is "cminstall" and not CMinstall Cminstall etc?
OK, all installed, it was either the missing space or a dodgy .zip file. Either way thanks for taking the time to help me out atapia984 it is really appreciated.

Anytime Have fun. Keep a look around at some of the other threads for troubleshooting. It is all out there.
Sent from my PC36100.
Thought I should just outline what I did to put this right in case anyone else has the same problem. I downloaded the ACMEUninstaller from here:
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...-cW9Cw&usg=AFQjCNHZTu7Aghf80vOjo4Pa7Feslo0SmA
and put it on the desktop. Then I made sure the Touchpad was connected via USB and put the Touchpad in recovery mode (reboot, hold down volume up before power comes back on again) then opened the Terminal and typed:
novacom boot mem:// < /Users/tonyohooligan/Desktop/ACMEUninstaller
This deleted everything from the Touchpad. I then followed the instructions again and this time Cyanogen installed perfectly. Seems like a pretty damn good Alpha version as well, haven't had a crash yet. Thanks once again to atapia for all the help.
One last thing atapia, is there anywhere to report bugs as I find them without getting on the devs nerves?
Everything looked like it was going good... I made a folder names cminstall and put the 3 files in there....opened up cmd prompt and typed this is "novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller" Everything was installing good until i got this error
"looking for the install images... initial install files not found. please download it from touchpad.linuxhacker.ru and put in sminstall folder on media partition. the name should start with update-cm end end with .zip..."
Anyone else have this problem? I searched google and found a guy with this prob but no solution.
I pressed the home and power button and it got me to the normal hp os
What did I do wrong?
Any help would be great!
Have you tried just the basics like downloading the files again and perhaps with a different browser/site to make sure they are not corrupt?

You either don't have a CMINSTALL folder on the root of your Touchpad, or your zip files have (1)s or (2)s behind them and need to be removed, or you just didn't but the files in the folder at all.
help me please
Hi to everyone, my name is Federico and I have the same problem!
When I started the ACMEInstaller after some minutes appeared the message "Looking for the install images...
Initial install files not found.
Please download it from touchpad.linuxhacker.ru
and put in sminstall folder on media partition
the name should start with update-cm and end with .zip"
the main issue is tha I'm not able to restar the device =(
How can I do? Please help me.
What are you installing and what exactly did you put in the cminstall folder.
Details are very useful
hold down the off button and the home button for a good 20 seconds, this is hardcoded to the device and should reset it

should be novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2
Depending on what you were trying to flash, you may need ACMEInstaller2.
You need a folder on your PC named cminstall and the same folder on your tab. In that you'll need moboot, cwm, acmeinstaller2 and your rom.
Cm9 needs acmeinstaller2
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I was following the cm wiki tutorial
I put the moboot, cwm, Cm9 3/10 build and gapp into the cminstall and i did the ACMEinstall. moboot come up, good, however, CWM is not showing up in the boot manual and when I try to load cm9, it try to load and then it reboot and put me back at moboot manual. Luckily, web os still work. However, I am not sure as to what to do to get Clockworkmod and cm9 to install correctly. Please advice.
Did you use AcmeInstaller, or AcmeInstaller2? You are supposed to use Acmeinstaller2 for CM9.
At this point, use Acmeuninstaller to wipe the android partition off, and try again from scratch.
Believe it or not I can't find a download link for Acmeuninstaller. Can someoen pm me the link? Now i figure out why cm 9 won;t work but what about clockworkmod? How come it won't install.
After i run the uninstall do I need to install moboot again?
google "acmeinstaller2". it should be the first hit. I'd post a link, but I just registered.

heres everything in one shot for you. if you cant get the recovery to install you can extract the files from cwm.zip folder and put the uimage.clockworkmod into the /boot folder then run try rebooting if still nothing try running the update script manually as root in terminal emulator from android. hope this helps.
I manage tio fix the cmw issue by using novacom the image of the cmw and force cmw install from sd.
If you want to start the new year with a fresh install of android, here are some steps to get it done.
Here's a good guide : http://www.webosnation.com/how-uninstall-android-your-touchpad
Assuming you have all the files needed in your /palm, inc folder (wherever you put it), cd to that folder and type in a command prompt : (sans quotes) "novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller" and hit enter. You'll see the 2 penguins and a whole bunch of code executing on the TouchPad. Once it's done, it will reboot into webOs. If you have preware installed, download android remover (or something like that) and run it. If you don't have preware installed, install it, using WOSKI, then download and run the android remover application.
Use acmeinstaller3 to install android again. Here's the link to a pretty good guide: http://liliputing.com/2012/01/how-to-install-android-4-0-on-the-hp-touchpad-cyanogenmod-9-alpha.html
Again, cd to your palm, inc folder and enter the following command in a command prompt : “novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller3" (without the quotes). Update your cwm and your moboot, here's a link where you can find the new files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080977, put them in the cminstall folder you created before entering the command.
I use titanium backup to backup my user apps and their data. After installing, use tb to restore the apps and data you backed up.
