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?
With the forward progress of the Android Alphas, I feel like my touchpad is teetering and slowly becoming more and more cluttered. Call me an OCD freak but right now I need help going back to square one;
I want to wipe the touchpad completely, of android, webos, all data.
Reinstall webos fresh and clean and updated.
Install the 3.5 release of the android alpha
continue loving my touchpad
If anyone knows what I need to accomplish these goals, let me know? Thanks.
use WebOS doctor and wipe everything clean).
Then open webos, do anything you need to do there.
Then install android on it.

There is a preware app that removes everything android, that's out. I have not tried it but it sounds good if you want to start over.
Web-doc does not remove all the files and folders. I thank it just changes the format.
so no one knows a way to just format everything?
Wipe Everything
I also would like to know how to wipe everything including all android partitions and ext3fs partitions (from ubuntu). I think I read somewhere the doctor doesn't rewrite partition tables. Any help would be great!
I would assume do a acmeuninstall then webos doctor it

Hi everyone, new to xda.
I also thought it would be a good idea to wipe my TP clean and re-install with the latest version of xron's build. I've had every version of cm7 since it was first released and countless apps, so it was kind of cluttered up. Anyway, uninstalled with the acmeuninstaller and then did a factory erase in webos. Went about my business as usual with the acme installer (with cwm and moboot and the newest xron). Thought all was well until I boot to cwm, no cyanogenmod option! I flashed it using cwm, but I heard somewhere they don't recommend that, so I started over again, and flashed EVERY release from day 1 to the latest one. TP seems cleaner and less cluttered, but I was wondering why the acmeinstaller wouldn't recognize the xron file and install it?

I think you need to rename the xron filename to start with "update-...." and then do the acmeinstall with remaining 2 files i.e. cmw n moboot

since installing android partitions the memory, wouldn't you have to remove the android partition first in order to truly wipe the touchpad?
Once the partition is removed, you could use OS doctor to wipe what's left, and start fresh. At least that's what I'm thinking.
I read elsewhere that you can format the Touchpad in a Linux distro and remove all of the partitions. I have not tried it but I will when I get home and have a better internet connection.
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.
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 have tried that method as well but my web doctor 3.0.0 stalls out at 8%. I am in the process of trying install the uimage but I am having a hard time locating a working link and cant find it when i look in webdoctor.jar in 7zip.
suspect partition damage

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.

Hi I bought a Nook Tablet running CM 10.13 stable, wanting to restore to stock. I did restore it using Nookunrooter apk. However, it is really laggy and when I tried to restore it back to factory settings again I saw the android menu come up before it switched to the 'Nook: Read forever'. Is the android still on it and that's why it is lagging so much.
You might want to consider this method for a clean restore to stock ROM (v1.4.2):

Hi,
applying an APK to any install would (generally) only make changes to the running system software in a somewhat small way
The method posted here: will return the unit to bone stock, 100% , refreshing the system with factory versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836
(same method/image as digixmax posted)
(download the image, create an SD card, boot and run the card, and it returns you and your partitions to factory version 1.42)
if you have anything on the tablet , it wont be there when you are done....
you might want to check before you reflash it , if the system settings screen is aware of the serial number, ie: can you register an account on the NOOK with Barnes & Noble as it sits now ? because if the person you bought it from made a mistake, then you may end up with a unit that your only option is to run an alternate version of something, not the factory software.
good luck
edit: I guess if you were running CM10, you wouldnt have any access to the "stock" software anyway, so if you want bone stock and then install something better (CM11 is really, really good...) then sure , might as well start it off totally fresh.
digixmax said:

I actually tried using the method from this link before the apk, but the nook would just keep booting into CM10. That's when I decided to just use the apk. I am on stock, but it's really buggy and if you look on the link you sent me when I tried to do a factory reset on stock it gave me the message show int he last picture "Clearing data.. A reset is being preformed this may take few minutes." that's why I figured some trace of the CM was still on here.
