Updates in either OS should not affect the other.
People over at the "other" forum have reported the update breaking moboot. Not sure if it can just be reflashed but just a heads up.

Darn, the update didn't fix my wifi issues. My touchpad won't detect any wifi access point period. Its like the wifi radio doesn't turn on. Any suggestions?

Yes, all that is needed after the update is re-installing moboot.
Just updated. Trying the browser now. Don't see anything different or any problem.
Do we have to change the kernel or revert any patches etc to update?
Just updated and did loose moboot and some of my preware patches. Had to go uninstall the patches and reinstall them from preware. I'll have to reflash moboot when I get a chance.
Yeah you will lose moboot but just really run the acmeinstaller and all should be good on the cm side. All my apps and settings remained intact.
Sweet. Moboot back installed with no problems and everything is back to normal.
My update failed miserably and I had to Doctor my TP back to life.
Confirmed for me too...ACMEInstalled just moboot and everything back (minus preware patches) as before.
which preware patches are affected by this?

I'm uploading a 304 doctor for those people that the OTA failed.
mine didn't want to update so
i hate java web start.
UPDATE: here is the link:
http://www.multiupload.com/762XCTTMUX
I would like to do a WebOS Doctor anyway. I'm the type of person that wipes his phone every time an update comes out for 100% stability =P
My question is... I used "Save/Restore" to back up data from apps. If i WebOS Doctor, is the Save/Restore data erased as well? Or is that put in "storage" and not erased?

Thanks, I was just worried about a couple of saved games such as Slice It and Need for speed. lol
Just tried the OTA update and when it has downloaded and I press install it thinks a bit, then goes to reboot, then I hit moboot menu and even if I choose webOS there it says update failed.
any ideas?
Now you can uninstall if you wish! Here are the steps and the files needed to do so.
go to Rootzwiki.com to obtain the ACMEUninstaller file:

Or just install and run the Android removal app from PreWare.

No, at this stage I'm happy leaving Android installed, there's a couple of apps I want to use that don't exist under WebOS.
At the very least, restoring the uboot files would at least give the "appearance" of a return-to-stock, but the loss of space wouldn't be ideal.
Booted back into WebOS to have a look.
It's released by the WebOS Internals team. Looks like the application just restores the /boot partition, you still need to use the "Tailor" app to restore the partitions, so your method may be simpler for many.
Strangely, I can't find any mention of the app in their forum over at PreCentral, and their Wiki appears to be offline. I'm guessing it's just a script that removes the CM7, CWM and MoBoot binaries and restores the symlink(s).

Thanks. Very informative.
since upgrading from 3.02 to 3.04, my touchpad has been giving me a lot of trouble. I lost android access and had to reflash moboot, after which i found out i couldnt access CWM. I tried flashing it through ACME but it didn't work. Installed Xron and the files got mixed up with the previous android version.
I'd like to wipe everything off including the SD. And then do a fresh restore with WebOS doctor after which im gonna install CM9
Any advice?
I'd run ACMEUninstaller first, then webosdoctor.
ACMEUninstaller repartitions the drive and removes android. But webOS doctor doesn't wipe the SD.
ACMEUninstaller will completely remove Android. WebOS doctor will restore the webOS side of your tablet to its original "out of the box" state. Unless your intentions are to brick your device by "wiping" it clean, I would agree with the ACMEUninstaller/webOS doctor method.

I'm confused. Currently, my SD partitions are kinda wacked up because I had alot of stuff on the WebOS side before installing android.
Have Xron on it currently.
Should I use ACMEUninstaller, reinstall Android CM7, then flash CM9 straight over?
Or should I just wipe, then flash CM9 over?

I could be mistaken, but the OP's original question was to basically start from a "clean slate". So we were just saying to use ACMEUninstaller then webOS Doc to achieve that. If you're concerned about the partitions and you don't mind the wipe, then that's what I would do if I were you.
Leo will probably have better input than me, but if I were in your shoes, I would do the ACMEUinstaller on your current version of Android. You don't have to reinstall CM7, just make sure you put the ACMEInstaller2 in the appropriate spot.

How about the SD?/
WebOS and Android use the same partition for SD, which is /media. You can wipe that yourself if you want by just mounting to computer and deleting what's in there. But yea, there are files for both systems in that partition, nothing that will brick you by deleting them though.

Ziyad I'm not trying to be mean, but either I am not understanding your question or you're not understanding our answers. I'm going to break down your thread title bit by bit...
"How to remove android..." Pause there. Use ACMEUninstaller.
"...wipe SD..." I am assuming you realize the Touchpad does not have an SD. So we will continue.
"...and start with a FRESH Touchpad." WebOS Doctor. This is a sure way to do it. WEBOS Doc will reinstall a FRESH copy of webOS onto your Touchpad, bringing it to out of the box condition. It will wipe the /media file like the previous post mentioned.

Okay so you currently have android installed, and want to upgrade to CM9 but also repair you touchpad. I would recommend the following:
1. run ACMEUninstaller
2. run WebOS doctor
3. delete everything off your /SD card that you don't want/need
4. update to WebOS 3.0.5
5. install CM9/moboot 3.0.5/CWM using ACMEInstaller2

Thanks a lot for your replies
But I still can't access CWM through moboot. I'm doing it manually by pushing the uImage.clockworkmod via novacom to get access and flash zips.
I even tried reinstalling CWM through ACMEInstaller2(flashed CM9 on my touchpad btw)
Can't you just do a full wipe in WebOS and then literally start at a clean slate, i.e. no Android and cleaned SD card?
What you want to do is follow THIS GUIDE HERE. It shows you how to completely remove Android, re-partition the device, and start completely fresh as if you had just opened the box of your brand-new HP Touchpad when it ran 3.0.0. I follow this guide about every 2-3 months just to make sure everything's running clean and good, and I have yet to ever run into problems.
It completely restores it to factory levels - partitions, WebOS 3.0.0, nothing else. It is your go-to guide on what you should do to start fresh.
From there, read the guide on Rootz and install CM9, and then from there, flash whatever ROM you wanna try out and enjoy.
does tptb remove everything.. I want to learn it all.. Im hooked on touchpad is there a way to start over I cant find webos doctor nor much on how to install and run it on touchpad..

yes Jcsullins TPtoolbox here will remove all the data, including WebOS, when you do a complete data reset.
A preface:
This is neither development or a question. This is simply an informative post that needs to be in the development section to save many users issues. (also most people looking for custom roms dont look in general section)
I did not create this.
New official CWM v5.8.2.0 (link below)
A few of us have confirmed that it now properly backs up and restores the boot.img
This Helps with the following issues
-Possibly fixes bricks (by properly restoring boot.img)
-Correctly comes with Staging/System unmounted
-Nandroid Restores properly the boot.img (of backups created with this CWM). This means no more issues when restoring a Rom if you are coming from another from (for example, if you are restoring Virtuous after wiping cm9)
Additionally:
-Backups are now about 10x faster
-Restores are a bit faster (not as dramatic as backups)
Still no go:
-External SD Card (Pretty sure)
-Reboot into recovery (probably a software issue within OS anyway)
Manual install:Here is the link to the file if you prefer to manually install (EASY WAY BELOW) -Must have unlocked bootloader

Use Rom Manager:
Install Rom Manager from the market -> Open -> First Option: 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'-> Done.
This can be done over your current CWM (if you installed it via ViperMod) or manually)
If you have issues installing via RM try this
Swiftks said:
I had the same issue, when I first tried to install CWM via Rom Manager.
I solved it by installing the version that installs via the Prime Time Root program. Then installed the Rom Manger version without a hitch.

This cwm is more up to date and will prevent many end users from making the mistake of installing an outdated version. These 2 threads can (and should) be merged as long as the thread title has the latest CWM in it and the OP has some information regarding it.

It should not. all my previous ones are there after flashing in RM
Though: I dont think it will retroactively fix the boot.img restore and backup issue meaning, you should probably make new backups if you want to be able to restore the kernel properly in the future
So since I'm n00bish, what's the best way to do this?

Thumbs up to the CWM team for finally releasing a more working recovery.
Thumbs up to "DeathByFugu" who brought it to my attention in IRC.
Thumbs up to those who tested with me and confirmed it was working as it should (DeathByFugu, youngex/tg3x)
Just ran a backup and it was definitely quicker than the last 2 that I made.

Yep, I am runnig Virtuous ROM.
I did go in and clear cache and data and tried all over again.
It starts, the "blue bar" at the top of the screen starts to scroll across and gets to about the end and just hangs. If I remember correctly from my other phones it should boot at that point and do its thing?
I will uninstall...reboot and reinstall.
If that doesnt work, maybe I will try the old fashion adb deal.

Sounds like it's borking when it would normally ask for Superuser permissions. Make sure your Superuser app isn't blocking it.

Currently running 7.0.1 with no way of upgrading.
I will start off by saying that I have tried all of the tricks that others used to successfully get RW on the TP after CM set it to Read Only. and I have gotten nowhere. I have tried running mount(space)-o(space)remount(space)rw(space)/mnt/sdcard (sans spaces) to no avail
I have also tried using ACME uninstaller and that also did not work.
I am to the point where i just want to restore WebOS and start over.
Any advice would be awesome. I am completely stuck. I can also only boot to android through moboot, booting into WebOS doesnt work, just sends me back to moboot.

5 or 10 mins max .
Edit : If moboot allows you to boot into webos recovery you could run webos doctor . See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244 . It should be the answer to your problems to read before running doctor if you have not removed Android,

I've repaired a busted partition that my co-worker had on his Touchpad. Improper eject while USB connected to webOS caused the partition damage. The repair involves using terminal to restore the base partitions and then webOS Doctor 3.0.0 to comb out the initial webOS partition and install. Then webOS Doctor 3.0.5 and onward.
It's detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24047078&postcount=3
I know there is an alternate method, but cannot find a link for the uimage.
