We've updated a bit....
Download Link: [Here]
We now have a complimentary app on the app store for this A4D App.
What is A4D?
The goal of A4D is for us to move beyond just N1 make it an all in one flashing/upgrading/android utility. We just added a ROM library with MD5s. We are not going to be hosting the actual ROMs by themselves so if you report a dead link, they will be taken down (after a number of reports). You can also add your own ROMs as well into the library.
The ROM library will be supported by both Android and Desktop App. We are rewriting the Desktop apps so that we can do all 3 platforms in one, Linux, Windows, and Mac. You'll love the layout of the app. That's all we can say for now.
Oh one more thing. The android app won the best android app award at the Mobile in the Middle Hack-a-thon over the weekend in Chicago (on 3/6/2010).
I would like you guys to try out the app and tell us feedbacks. Also feel free to add your own ROMs to the Database and tell us how we can make the DB better. There a number of features we are trying to add as well. But with our full time jobs... things are going a little slower than we wanted. Sorry.
Requirements to run the app on Android: Amon_RA's recovery. That's what we tested it with.

Can't wait to see if this is fool proof.
Add md5 check. Make it in this way: user have to enter/copy-past md5 hashsum from forum/site. Program calculates md5 of image and says image is good or bad. Also you can disable flashing with out this check. ;-)
good idea. Will do that. That will help with flashing screwed up downloads.
Hi
Thank you for sharing the application.
Does it flash the radio too? I mean CyanogenMod has two files a radio ROM and a CyanogenMod ROM. Does it flash both of them to the phone?
Thanks.
Radio flash is in there we took it out. May do so in the next release but radio flashing is dangerous (can brick phones) so...
Hey Lwin,
Nice concept man, this is gonna prove very handy for many peeps.
You've come up trumps again
So, this is a desktop application?
Does it flash ROM's from your desktop or copy them over and just run the commands on the phone for you?
I ask, as I'm having some problems flashing now, based round a slightly faulty Micro SD card. Does it store backups on the phone or on your desktop PC?
This program is written so you don't have to do command line commands. Everything else remains the same. If you are doing a Nand backup, it goes where it used to go.
I would recommend fixing your "slightly faulty Micro SD card" by getting a new card.
nice app for those that aren't familiar with cmd or jus pure...lazy lol
maybe the screens should be bigger as quite hard to see clearly whats available.
Pure Genius...

Here is the GUI tool for unlocking, updating, restoring, flashing of the N1 (and in theory should work on all HTC androids).
Try it out and see if it is useful. The tool is made to help for people with very basic skills since the tool at this stage is a wrapper for the shell commands at this point.
Again, as usual, we take no responsibility for loss of sleep, loss of phone or screw ups on our side (due to app) or on your side (due to lack of ability to follow instructions).
I wish to make it more simple. We welcome feed backs.

Hey Seraph, This is getting better and better everyday.. How is your windows and android port.. Oh and don't forget there little buddy, I need you on my Mobility Team when we arrive to the scene.. Android and Audi... Almost there....
Edit: Okay, can't run on Mac, of course will in VMware, can you please make this mac native too... It would be great as per what MooMoo said, for all who are lazy...

But I don't use command line now. I didn't realise anyone did. Do you not just boot into RA Recovery and flash from there?

There will be a mac port sometime this week. I can most likely port to linux too but if you know linux and if you have to use wrapper, you have an issue
install issues
I tried to install it but got a system update required....
extracted the sdk to the folder C:\android-sdk-windows
extracted android4dummies and clicked setup
I get a pop up with the following:
unable to install or run the application. the application requires that system assembly system.data, entry version 3.5.0.0 be installed in the global system cache.....???
What do I do now?
Sounds like the app uses .NET framework 3.5.
So goto microsoft website an get 3.5 .Net Framework.

You do need .Net 3.5. It should have asked you, if not installed that as a prerequisite.
I went to MS and downloaded the .net 3.5 installed it (apparently it was already on my pc, so instead of installing I tried to repair it. no success....

Can you send us a screenshot.
Do not unzip into C:\android-sdk-windows. App will install SDK or search for the SDK there.
Unzip on your desktop or temp and install from there.
just to be clear, I unzipped adroid sdk and placed in the mentioned location. the android4dummies is extracted on the desktop and executed from there..
so should I remove the SDK and retry?
I have spent days looking for threads so this neewb is about to break something. Well maybe not. I have my daughters Eris 2.1 and am trying to root it for her. I have tried several times with different methods. The issue is that I can get into recovery mode after every 1 click app but nothing I try will let me toggle to unzip to SD, or toggle to anything for that matter, volume wont do it and all track ball will do is let me select reboot. Man my DX was easy compared to the one click method.
HELP PLEASE,
If the trackball is having trouble scrolling, I'd install the trackball-optional custom recovery so you can use other buttons to scroll. There are instructions for doing this here:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
It sounds like you fall into "Scenario 2" which says you should follow the same method as "Scenario 1" to get rooted using the trackball-optional recovery.
I'll give it a shot, The help is much appreciated,
I am been trying to help him to get this thing to add the Custom Recovery, but every root format has not worked at all. Most are outdated or there are files missing. Specially on the link provided above. The download for the scripts no longer has Root_1 or Root_2, it has a bunch of other stuff there for gscript. Found an link on Droidforums for gscript for rooting and the scripts don't work.
Any complete instructions anywhere?

popfan,
I am not aware that any of the above links or files are missing... Can you point-out / tell me specifically which files you cannot access / download / link-to?
The root_part1 and root_part2 files are part of erisuser1's (bftb0's) Universal Root for Dummies! thread that I do reference in my AF thread, but these should still be up, active, and available.
So, I'm not sure if you are speaking about becoming rooted or installing a my trackball-optional custom recovery.
Let us know.
Cheers!
Im sure my kid has shuned me for leaving her Eris with someone so thanks to everyone for the help. Pop is helping me out and after moving file at the point where it says to open and look to see root 1 and root2 they are not there and there are a ton of other stuff. Also the pick look different than on the thread like the app has been updated. Also when doing the ball recovery there is no tools folder to be found. I'm sure pop wont touch it again till tomorrow so any other help / advice is more than welcome or it may cost me my Dx

LOL, sorry, didn't make/see the connection between your two posts .
Okay, let's try something new here...
Just a week or so ago, I re-packed jcase's 1-click rooting app to include my trackball-optional recovery image in lieu of the original recovery that his app includes.
So, let's have you re-root using the new 1-click app (all credit to jcase, both for his app and his threads both here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228 and over at AF http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/139178-universal-1-click-eris-app-apk-no-pcs-no-scripts-needed-easy.html).
Since you've already used the 1-click app before, then all you'll have to do is grab my new "trackball-optional" version:
https://sites.google.com/site/scaryalienware/downloads/one-click-tbo.apk
MD5 sum: 15763b51cf707c027cc73bc117e1fc39
(the "tbo" in the name stands for "trackball optional" ).
Just follow the same process you did before while running the 1-click app and you should end-up with my trackball-optional recovery installed.
Let me know how it goes (you'll be the first besides me that I know of that has tried it; the user that I created it for to test has not yet responded, LOL).
Cheers!
I tried this link below. It no longer has the root_1 and root_2 in it.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=774XYFRA
I did use your "updated" 1-click app with tbo and it worked great.
Thanks!!
Too bad this phone was not as easy as my captivate.

Glad that jcase's repackaged app worked for you. I'll update my documentation to make this available to others.
Also, re. the above Megaupload link...it works just fine for me (from my PC and from my Droid X) and includes all of the aforementioned root_part1/2 files.
I think you've fallen prey to a truncated download, which is not uncommon with Megaupload in my experience. This is also why is important to double-check the file sizes and MD5 checksums of files that you download so that you know you got the whole-shebang; notice that erisuser1 did include the MD5 in his thread for this file:
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
I've often found it helpful to use a different browser other than the stock browser (like Opera Mini) when doing downloads via my Eris since the stock browser does seem to have more issues (timeouts perhaps) than it should.
Cheers!
Thanks to all this tuff till you hooked us up but now on to nightmare 2
I downloaded CyanogenMod7.1.0 RC1 [2.3.5 GingerBread NIGHTLY]
from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Got it up but it has no market so I can not get to titanium, boot loader or anything... It says to flash google apps after the rom but now Im back to the trackball / volume key issue because it's all in titanium. ??? I did a factory reset and it came back up as the new ROM, ???
EDIT UPDATE!!!!
Sorry for the hassle all, the "green" start call button works as the down after the download.. All is well.. I think..
Again thanks to you all, If I hear of any good deals on an Eris I will know why.
You need to download GAPPS to your sdcard. That is why you don't have market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Its just below link for the rom and save it to your sdcard. Go ahead boot into recovery and wipe data, daliv-cache, cache; Flash Rom again, then flash gapps and reboot.
Hey Kids, I figured it was getting kind of boring around here so I'm releasing a little tool I've been using for a while now. It's just what it says, an "Auto Flasher". It will flash any rom, any kernel, backup data, restore data, fix permissions, etc. With full wipe function or just a cache and delvik wipe. All from the comforts of your pc. Just plug in your evo3d with usb debugging enabled and some room on your sdcard and off you go. Oh, almost forgot. This will also Odex all your system apk's if you like. It's on the menu. Even if you have some odexed, it will skip over those.
Things to do first:
1. Run the AF4.5setup.exe. Choose a location (I like the desktop) to run it from. It will create a folder called Auto Flasher V4.5.
1.a Run the 2.08setup.exe and the 2.17setup.exe *(these are just RUU 2.08 and RUU 2.17. Download them even if you already have them. The exe will install them to the proper folder.)
2. Open the Auto Flasher V4.5\Place-Files-Here\ROM folder and copy paste your rom of choice.
3. Open the Auto Flasher V4.5\Place-Files-Here\Kernel folder and copy paste your kernel of choice (if your flashing a kernel).
4. Make sure USB debugging is on and you have about 500 mb on your sdcard.
5. If you need HTC drivers, look in the \Drivers folder. (Install them first).
6. Run the Auto_Flasher_V4.5.bat.
7. Sit back with a brew and watch the show. (It will prompt you a couple of times for some yes and no questions).
NOTES:
I had to separate the .exe's because of file size limitations on DevHost. If your not doing a firmware change then you don't need them. But I recommend you download them.
When restoring data, run your rom first for a couple of minutes. I found everything takes nicer.
When running "11. Fastboot Radio/Wimax Flasher" Please make sure you don"t interrupt this. You won't like the results. If something goes wrong, you will have to flash your radio manually because you'll be in a nasty bootloop.
This is a beta release. Many improvements on the way.
Disclaimer:
If you say I bricked your phone. I will laugh. Nothing this does can't be undone with a nand restore. So for the love of god, DO A NAND BACKUP FIRST!!!

Yes. the zipped folder has TWRP 1.1.1 in it, which works the same way, if you run it manually with ADB and Fastboot. The OP has made the process a little shorter and easier for you.

Hello guys.
I just got a brand new TouchPad 32GB. WebOS is very nice, but there are not many applications, so I'm trying to intall CM9.
I have all the drivers installed correctly, I can put the touchpad in developer mode, and USB mode
Problem is, MOST of the links on the guides are outdated. I tried guides here, guides on rootwiz, guides on XDA.
So I started looking for the files myself, and now I have.
e0664157ed69f8999e1c3ee77cdc53ae ACMEInstaller2
7b49b53a9d70315c40dccde9fc20e7a9 ACMEInstaller3

1308300f38685d44afde730efd9132cc update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip
So I copied all the files from c:\downloads\touchpad to \cminstall on my touchad.
Rebooted into recovery, and did the:
C:\DOWNLOADS\TOUCHPAD>"C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\novacom.exe" boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2
The touchpad did some magic, including some linux thing/scorlling, rebooted, but now I'm back at webos.
So, did i forgot something? Should I use ACMEInstaller2 or ACMEInstaller3 (or even ACMEInstaller?).
Thanks.
EDIT: OK. I just realized that the Boot menu gives you some seconds and then it boots to WebOS.
Now, when it boots, I get this options:
Boot webOS
Boot ClockworkMod
boot webOS Recovery
reboot
shutdown
NONE of the options allows me to boot into CM9. I'm missing something?

How did you get on?
i tried acmeinstaller3 and i was complaining of inode errors ? has anyone else experienced this ? is there anyway of checking the filesystems again for errors, as there was lots of inode fixes maybe it was due to partitian resizing ?
i personally used this link:
http://liliputing.com/2012/01/how-to-install-android-4-0-on-the-hp-touchpad-cyanogenmod-9-alpha.html
The only thing i did different was that i used the latest version of the files.

I did exactly the same.
Just wanted to say this really helped me. And for any of the noobies, if you take the OP's MD5 codes, and plug them into Goo, you will find the files very very quick. And in order for me to download the ACMEInstaller2, I had to change it to a .zip file, and download as such, and then when plugging in the CMD code, just add .zip to the file name, and you're golden. Hope this helps!

If you are partitioned once using ACMEinstaller2, you should ACMEuninstall to remove/repair partitions. After that you can use ACMEinstaller3. Just make sure your CM9 and Gapps file names begin "update-" as you copy them into the cminstall folder.
ACMEInstaller3 is for CM10, not CM9.
not just for CM10

As posted by Developer green, it was designed for CM10 in mind to provide a little more partition room to accomodate CM10. It can be used with no ill effects* with CM9 to get that space from the beginning flash of CM9 and then you would be CM10 ready. You are able to use the benefit of a little more system partition than what is deployed with ACMEinstaller2.
I've used ACMEinstaller3 with great success on 6 of the 15 touchpads I help support with CM9. I use ACMEinstall3 by routine now as there is no need to have either ACMEinstall or ACMEinstall2.
* - the use of a few hundred MB from the SDcard to System partition is a small sacrafice of storage space on SDcard with the potential gain of CM10 ready and more headroom for the system, even on CM9.
I picked up a 32gb TP a few weeks ago.and have just been sitting on it. I was hoping to see some updated guides to simplify my learning curve to get android on it (i know I just need to read and learn). Can't believe I'm so hesitant to do anything with it, but the op's experience seems inline with my expectations of the device at the moment.

I was hoping to see some updated guides to simplify my learning curve to get android on it (i know I just need to read and learn). Can't believe I'm so hesitant to do anything with it, but the op's experience seems inline with my expectations of the device at the moment.

I used the same lilliputing site linked above. Like another post said, just plug the md5sum into goo.im and you should find the files.
First time install instructions for CyanogenMod
If you haven't seen these posts by the original Touchpad CM dev, you might want to check em out.
Rootzwiki post by Dalingrin: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/33872-first-time-install-instructions-for-cyanogenmod/#entry947163
The "maintained" instructions list in that post point here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HP_Touchpad:_Full_Update_Guide
^^^ There are a couple small inconsistencies here. I'm not sure how to submit to have them corrected.
Overall, this is designated as the official source.
In the top section they list ACMEinstaller3 (although the lower section they list ACMEinstaller)
NOTE: CyanogenMod product designation for HP Touchpad = tenderloin

Just wanted to say this really helped me. And for any of the noobies, if you take the OP's MD5 codes, and plug them into Goo, you will find the files very very quick. And in order for me to download the ACMEInstaller2, I had to change it to a .zip file, and download as such, and then when plugging in the CMD code, just add .zip to the file name, and you're golden. Hope this helps!

If you are partitioned once using ACMEinstaller2, you should ACMEuninstall to remove/repair partitions. After that you can use ACMEinstaller3. Just make sure your CM9 and Gapps file names begin "update-" as you copy them into the cminstall folder.

Thanks to everyone who posted. I plugged the MD5's in as suggested, found the liliputin, CM, and jcsullins goo.im sites for files and read/the liliputin guide. I'm sure I will have additional questions for when I get back up later tonight to attempt this, but it looks like I have all the needed files ready plus some extras (screenshot).
For now:
- Do you have to "dual boot" android & webos, vs wiping out webos and keeping only android?
- How much space is WebOS taking up on the "dual boot" setup, ie does it have it's own partitions etc separate from android?
- Can you just turn the device on and have it automatically boot android (WAF = Wife Acceptance Factor)
- When installing roms I have been used to formatting /system, /data, & /cache first. Does AcmeInstaller do this for you. If so, you can just do new rom flashes & backups "manually" through CWM or TWRP right? I keep seeing mention of only wiping "cache" beforehand?
- How would I restore the tablet to stock WebOS, AcmeUninstaller? (I plan on going with AcmeInstaller 3)
- My impression is that the latest CM9 Nightlies are the most stable/functional ICS versions currently available for the TP as a daily driver. Is this correct?

Re Files: You have more than enough.
move a copy of ACMEinstall3 to your PCs Palm, Inc folder
rename gapps-20120429-signed.zip to update-gapps-20120429-signed.zip
rename cm9 ROM to update-cm-9-20121007-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip
From webOS / USB mode connect your PC and copy your cminstall folder to the tablet. (cminstall folder should have 4 .zip files: CWM, MoBoot, gapps, cm9) when you reboot to Novacom Bootie, you are ready for your ACMEinstall invocation command. Takes about 15 min. to flash.
CyanogenMod is dependent on webOS to be present. You cannot remove webOS. If you are that concerned for space, webDoctor to ver 3.0.0 and never OTA update. That version has the smallest footprint, you might get a couple hundred MB saved, but IMHO, not worth the effort.
The default boot order selects Android after 5 seconds. You can edit this or use a preware webOS app: CyBoot to edit the default and how long to wait in MoBoot before default is loaded.
ACMEinstaller3 handles the partition chores for you. You don't have any CM or other ROM loaded? If you did, you should ACMEuninstall first or to return it to stock webOS. wiping cache is a selection that is done from CWM or TWRP on re-flash of the ROM. You could select ClockworkMod on first boot to do this step, but I have never bothered on an initial load.
I'm currently on cm-9-20121007, the latest nightly.
Good Luck

The Touchpad's hard drive will show as 27.1gig before installing Android and 25.4 after if you use ACMEInstaller 3 or 25.5 with ACMEInstaller 2 .
You should not attempt to remove webos.
After installation it will automatically boot into Cyanogen/Android with a 5 second delay. To give you the option to change . Both the boot preference and time out can be changed either by installing an app called Cyboot through preware on webos , or by editing the boot folder when running Android.
Use gapps 20120429 and if using ACMEInstaller 3 rename so that it begins update- .
Yes use the latest nightly and rename so it begins update-
Acmeuninstaller will return the tablet back to webos and running Android uninstall from preware will remove moboot .
Install it have fun then you will probably have a few more questions.
Good luck
Thanks guys. I'm up and running on latest CM9.. AWESOME!
Still would like to see someone with a guide here that has up to date links. But the Lilliputin site guide was good minus links.

I need help relearning a few things.
I have tnt lite I installed from the woot day.
I totally forgot how to do this (well, there was a step by step instruction
I want to install the harmony 2.3.2, but I'm trying to figure out what wipe and reflash mean.
I have clockwork 2.5.1.1. Would that work?
How do I get the zip file onto the internal sdcard?
I apologize if there is an instruction for it already. I couldn't find it in search. It would be very much appreciated if you can point me in the right direction. Links are perfectly fine! I can read
Thanks

I just found the thread on flashing the rom. What I was missing was the steps to mount it as usb drive.
I got the ROM copied over. But I'm stuck with this error.....now I'm really stomped.
I tried to install the rom and I got this.
Installing update...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "smba1002" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "smba1002"
Status 7
Installation aborted.
Any idea what I did wrong?
I'm pretty sure I wiped system, data and cache.
It's funny how I'm going to reply to my own message again, but I hope whoever encounters the same issue will get some help here.
First of all the Harmony JellyBean ROM is awesome. It's been working great. I use netflix and youtube to cast on my chromecast.
There are games that didn't work on the froyo tntlite work perfectly fine now. It's sluggish, but not nearly as laggy as before.
It has not randomly crashed on me yet, but it might degrade overtime....not sure if JellyBean is less prone to degradation.
So, here was my problem. The version 2 of ClockWorkMod can not install those new ICS+ ROMs.
I do not know the minimum requirement, and those ROM creators don't specify it. I'm guess that they don't know what the minimum requirement is. They are nice enough to to put the package together, they certainly don't have the obligation to try each deployment environment for us.
This is what I know works. The clockworkmod that's in the Team DRH's prep works. You can install the prep without installing the Dirty Bean.
1. You can get your prep and instruction here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850994
Pay attention to where it says "here" with the download link. That's the prep.
2. Unfortunately, the instruction on the page also doesn't help because you can't just use clockwork 2.5 to install whatever version of clockwork that's in the prep (I think it's 6.0). You need to open up the zip file and look for the documentation in the USB directory.
It gives you the instruction on how to install the USB driver in WIN7, WIN XP or Linux.
3. Then you run a batch file to NVFlash the new Clockwork on the gtab.
4. Once that's done, you can follow the legacy clockwork instruction on how to mount the USB, upload the ROM and install the ROM.
