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 ?

Hi guys,
I just got a Woot replacement for my old Gtab and noticed a new version of Vegan tab was out. I followed the install instructions but when I reboot, it wont get past the Viewsonic screen. The older version is working fine (installed it just now).
I'm concerned that it is my build version causing it to (soft brick?). How do I check the build version? Thanks!
Or if it's not a build issue, anyone know a fix?
Did you clear data and cache? Also what version of cwm are you using?

Installed using CWM .8 (or whatever is in the FAQ guide), then cleared data/cache and that other thing recommended to clear on the vegan tab download site.
So I partitioned -> installed -> cleared everything -> rebooted. Hung for 30+ minutes

nvFlash back to stock. There are some tablets with partition tables swapped. Doesn't seem to hurt Froyo ROMS, but it hangs all of the GB Roms.
nvFlash will fix the tables (partitioning SD card won't).

I will second this post. I had the same issue of no boot and being stuck at the birds screen. I almost gave up on flashing to vegan ginger. I nvflashed, then installed vegan ginger rc1 and the tablet booted right up.

If you refer to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
Roebeet posted this link in the development forum. It gives you the procedure for nvflash. You have to download a few items for nvflash and a usb driver. All of the links are in his document and it tells you exactly what you need to download. When you download the nvflash files make sure you dump all of the files into a central folder like the document says. I was unable to nvflash keeping the folders seperate. So all of the files from each folder that you download should go into one central folder so that the nvflash process can access all of the files. So for example, you have to download nvflash_windows_20100500.zip and nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip. I downloaded those and then transferred the internal files of those zips into one folder I created called Nvflash. Also, the usb driver worked for me. Some people were saying that it wasn't working on their windows 7 64 bit machines but I had no problem with it.
I figured out how to use nvflash by trial and error from reading the document in the link provided above. Hopefully this helps you out. Once you do it the first time, it's a piece of cake. Just follow the document and you'll be fine.
PS: make sure you follow the "windows" directions or the "linux" directions. There are different files depending on your computer OS and different procedures but they are pretty clearly outline in his link. Good luck.
Thanks. I tried the instructions on WIndows 7 32 bit (from Clockwork mod, not the "black screen"). I got the driver installed fine but when I ran the .bat it says USB device not found. Any idea?
Got it working! Long story short, I was pressing Power+Volume+ instead of Volume-.
Also, for anyone who does this in the future, when you try to run the .bat file, if it doesn't go, try re-powering the gtab with power+volume- again.
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!
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.
It's hopeless. You guys saved me on the bootstrap issue, but I couldn't help myself. I had to try to mod again. I CANNOT install any ROM with any form of loader or manager. So I download Cm7.1, copy it to a folder which I have designated use for all of my recovery files and is visible by recovery(Android recovery that it). When I go to open the ROM it initializes the boot but aborts because the "signature" isn't valid, or something to that effect. I've tried Clockworkmod recovery, which I can't even find when the time comes(its a blank folder now instead of bringing me into the program), and I've bought the Bootstrap Loader form market, none of which create something I can recall in Recovery. I don't mind spending money on apps, in fact I enjoy giving back, but I think maybe its time to cut my loses with this and just stay rooted and happy with my Gingerbread. Any Idea's?

No worries man, thanks for the info anyway. Do you know where I can find a list of the bloat apps? I'm sure I'll find it soon, but I figured I'd ask..
Most likely a bad download.

First problem I see is you're using the Android recovery, instead of ClockWorkMod recovery, which is why you're getting the "signature invalid" error.
Second issue (maybe) is if you are extracting the CM7 zip (or any other roms) vs copying the zip file directly to your phone. Furthermore, when you're installing a ROM through BSR, you are not going to use the "apply sdcard:update.zip" option, you need to select "choose zip from sdcard"
Third issue is you cannot use *any* time of manager (ROM manager or otherwise) with the DX2. Unfortunately our bastard of a phone won't use anything except the System Recovery specifically formatted for it. I would suggest SBF'ing back to 2.3.4 and following c21johnson's system recovery guide to a T. If you're trying to install CM7, all you'll need to do at this point is copy the zip to your external SD card (and I would suggest redownloading the ROM at this point, just to be safe) and follow the install guide. Again, you *cannot* use Android's Recovery to install any ROM, you must use BSR. After you install CM7 (if it's successful ) you'll need to install the cm7 recovery included in the cm7 thread. If you're wishing to install nitro's 2.xx eclipse you'll need to SBF to 2.3.4 and upgrade to 2.3.5 using this guide.
Hope this helps!

Once again sir, you are so very right. I wasn't grasping that Bootstrap Loader is an app UN-to itself. That is the only thing was lacking...Thank you much. Are you a developer?

As for CM7, I would recommend finding the CM7DX2 post in the Development section and follow the guide I wrote for the original post (OP).
For SBF, rooting, and making a nandroid backup, follow each of the posts in my signature.
Ciao!
Did you download all the files from A Droid X2 forum? If you use any other files meant for other devices, nothing will work. For the DX2, you need the bootstrap recovery and the CM7 specifically for the DX2. When you get the bootstrap recovery, it comes as a .apk file. Just place it on your phone and install it like a normal app. Once installed, you will see it in your app drawer labeled "system recovery." To get into it, open the app, select the first button "Install Recovery" and hit ok when it tells you install was successful. Then select the second button "Recovery Mode." Your phone will reboot in a few seconds and put you into recovery mode. Once there do what was mentioned above and install zip from SD card. Navigate to where your CM7 zip file is and install.
It is always recommended to wipe data and cache before flashing which can be done in bootstrap recovery. Also a good thing to do is to backup all your apps with Titanium Backup from the market.

Sorry about that, I must have been excited. Unfortunately I spoke too soon. Either that or I'm not meant for this, which I hope is not the case seeing that I'm getting my degree in IT. I finally get bootloader, with ROM and GAPPS placed accordingly(I opted for Eclipse). When the zip is finished uploading and I see confirmation that all was installed correctly, I begin the reboot......and it takes new to an unactivated Droid X2. I've created nandroid after nandroid, with different methods and different ROMS, and I either land there or with a signature error, even in bootstrap. I'm gonna try one more time before I hang up my guns. Maybe.....
you should be able to activate
running eclipse
with my D2G, I got the activation screen, sometimes after flashing roms
and just activated
edit: why are you creating nandroids?
you don't need to keep making more, unless you have new data you want to save and then data is only good for that rom

Hi All, just got my TP. Have 3.0.5 webos on it.
So I've used ACMEInstaller2 while these files were in cminstall

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

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?
