I decided to downgrade my touchpad from 3.0.4 to 3.0.2 to install some applications that wouldnt work on 3.0.4 and lost access to the moboot menu where i would select boot into cm7 or webos
Does anyone know how i can restore it?
Some of the guys here have had that problem....reinstall moboot from the ACMEInstaller only... should work,,, but do it at ur own risk.
Yeah, put only the moboot file in cminstall folder and install with ACMEInstaller. It's recommended that you use the 0.3.5 moboot version.

I don't see this posted anywhere else shop I wanted to ask.
Can I do the ota for webos or will it mess up the cm7 install?
Sent from my HP Touchpad using Tapatalk
idk but i got into dev mode and installed a bunch of homebrew stuff with android on it. im guessing that if the webos ota has a new kernel then cm7 will be borked.
the update will only erase the moboot file only, so if you decide to update the touchpad, after the updating it, the cminstall on your touchpad is gone but cm7 is still on the touchpad, so all you need to do is make a new cminstall file on the touchpad and put moboot in it, and just do the acme installer... you basically do the same thing as you were going to install cm7 on the touchpad but you only need the moboot in the cminstall file
Ok. Thanks

thanks Azn, I just ran into this. Your fix is good.
Hello
Since i've upgrade to 3.0.4 i've lost access to CWM recovery. Its not on the moboot menu.
Here's what i tried.
Used ACMEUninstaller to completely remove android and reinstalled
Reinstalled touchpad CWM via ACMEInstaller
Downgraded to 3.0.2 and tried the above again
It still doesn't show up on the moboot 0.3.5 menu.
Any help would be much appreciated.

When you upgrade WebOS it partitions the SD card inside. You have to start over again with everything. If you had preware you must reload that to if you want to use it again. Android is gone must be reloaded along with CWM .
in other words, there's no possible way to install CWM again apart from uninstalling and repartitioning the drive?/

Know You just have to reload android, cmw, and moboot again. You already have 3.4 WebOS. CM ,Xron or what ever android you chose will partition the drive again so you will be able to enjoy WebOS and Android. But after that you may have to reinstall preware if you want it.
You dont first install CWM and then flash/upgrade WebOS, cause that will modify the /boot partition.
After you are done with web os upgrading/upgrading then you install/reinstall CWM.
just run the acmeinstaller with only cwm file in it and maybe moboot if you had the 3.0.4 version and want to update to 3.0.5

Ive tried that already as i mentioned in my first post.
Here's exactly what happened
-Initially had webOS 3.02 and CM7 (everything functional including CWM)
-Upgraded to webos 3.04
-Lost access to CWM
-downgraded to webos 3.02 using WEBOS doctor(because some applications wouldn't work and lost CWM, i thought 3.04 was preventing it from opening in some way)
-lost complete access to android
-flashed MOBOOT 0.3.5 using ACMEInstaller
-android restores
-Flashed CWM using ACMEInstaller
-still no CWM
seems like upgrading to 3.04 caused some issue
What's the best to erase everything including android and webOS and have a clean install of WEBOS on it so i restart from the beginning? I've tried ACME Uninstaller and tried reinstalling android, and my previous files were still there.
So i need full wipe and clean WEBOS to reinstall CM7
thanks for help your guys

If i remember correctly the first time i downloaded moboot their were compatability issues with 0.3.5 thats why i,m using 0.3.4 .
But maybe that was fixed.
Could it have something to do with the patches and kernals in the /boot partition like the original installations when Alpha was first out?
I remember the first time the Alpha was released, there was no space to install CWM so I had to move a file out of the boot partition (update.uImage or something) then install CWM and got it working.
I upgraded to 3.0.4, and all I lost was moboot. What I had to do to get moboot back was use acmeinstaller to install moboot.
I'm on webOS 3.0.4 with CM7, and CWM installed. No problems.

I just did this on my TP which had moboot 3.0.4 and no ClockWorkMod boot option. The re-run of AcmeInstaller was successful and upgraded moboot to 3.0.5 and installed the ClockWorkMod boot menu item and it works.
Thanks!
P.S. the one note I might have is that I decided to re-name the CWM .zip from update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip to update-cwm-tenderloin.zip - I changed the underscore to a dash - Not sure if that made any difference at all, but it did install!
Hello all!
Okay so I loaded Android 4 fine accept no matter what I do, I can't seem to get ClockWorkMod to appear in Moboot. Only options are WebOS WebOS Recovery and Cyna. What am I doing wrong? I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times to no avail. The reason I want ClockWorkMod is so that I can load Gapps. So here's what I do:
Put Moboot, Tenderloin, Alpha06 and Gapps in the cminstall folder on the ipad. Then I run commands on my PC. Everything works accept there is no ClockWorkMod. Any ideas? Thanks!
ipad??
What version of ACMEInstaller are you using? Also if you can list the file names you have in the cminstall directory it would help.
I would pull gapps from the folder for now and install it once you get Clockwork up and running.
you need to make sure you also have
update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip
in your cminstall folder in order to install Clockwork
Sorry, touchpad
I'm using ACMEInstaller2 and the suggested tenderloin as well. Will try pulling gapps out and try reinstall. Thanks everyone! Will let you know how it goes.

Try installing CWM with Acmeinstaller, just CWM. This should work.
Good luck.
I installed TWRP.
There is a way to install without using CWM. Check this post. The instructions are on their site, select TouchPad in the top right.

I'm having this same issue, I can use commands to boot into CWM, but I can't get CWM to show up in the MoBoot menu.
If I try installing just CWM with ACME Installer how do I do that? Thanks in advance.
I had the problem in that my update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip file was misnamed - try ACMEUninstaller, double-checking your names, and trying again ?
Recently my tp stopped booting into webos but booted into cyanogenmod fine. Instead of deleting cyanogenmod I booted into webos recovery and doctored it. I now have webos but can anyone help me put moboot back on it and is my android partition still available or do I have to restart the installation process from the beginning.

No just use ACMEInstaller again but only put the moboot.zip into the cminstall folder
Some people lost moboot after upgrading webOS. I would think that if you only have moboot in your cminstall folder that would be the only zip installed by ACMEInstaller or ACMEInstaller2 if going to ICS. Your CM partition should still be there.

This happened to me after a update and my android partition was still there.Just needed moboot.
Hi All, just got my TP. Have 3.0.5 webos on it.
So I've used ACMEInstaller2 while these files were in cminstall
gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
moboot_0.3.5.zip
recovery-clockwork-tenderloin-1012.zip
update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-alpha2-fullofbugs.zip
and it looks like CM9 is installed now, and moboot.
However when I reboot, and moboot shows up (i think), options i can see are
boot webOS
boot CyanogenMod
boot webOS Recovery
reboot
shutdown
should i be seeing clockworkmod recovery or something like that?
Ive checked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475407
but dont quite understand it or if I have the same problem.
ive looked into cminstall directory after... and only
recovery-clockwork-tenderloin-1012.zip is left in there, although i dont see any google apps that i expected to be installed
also when long hold the power button there options show up. is there any difference?
reboot
recovery
bootloader
Also is there a way to get rid of the blue square outline when I swipe between home screens?
Also what else do you guys recommend I do?
Thanks!!

You can also use Acmeunistaller then do a fresh install. Remember that you have to use Acmeinstaller 2 for CM9, not Acmeinstaller.
Good luck.
rename the clockworkmod zip to have 'update-' at the beginning of the filename. AcmeInstaller2 only processes the zips that start with 'update'.

should i do that for Gapps as well? will that install google apps?
also how did the moboot install properly without the 'update-' prefix
I think standard practice is to install Gapps using CWM once CM9 is installed.
The issue with the filenames seems to be just to do with the way Acmeinstaller is written.
sweet thanks for your help
ill see how i go tonight.
When using acmeuninstaller, will it get rid of everything CM9 so i wont have to worry about random bits when I run acmeinstaller2 again?

Got CWM installed. Tried to Install Gapps from CWM using "Install from ZIP" but I dont see any google apps. Should I be seeing gmail, maps, etc?
ahh just realised im not meant to see those as i can download them.
only google search and talk and play pretty much.
