Hi everyone,
So my TP is getting picked up sometime in the next 7 days for repairs (cracks and all) and I need to remove android. Couldn't find the novacom drivers online, and universal installer isn't working atm, so I got the SDK and now Device Manager (Windows 7) shows it as Palm Novacom (bootie). [Also, just noticed there is another "Unknown device" as well as the "Palm Novacom bootie" ?!?]
The problem is that when I tried to run the "novacom boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller" command, nothing happens. I tried redownloading ACME, but still the same error. Anyone know what's up or how I can fix this.
Thanks in advance!

C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\ACMEUninstaller
I tried running "novacom" on its own, but still nothing, it just creates a new row and accepts no input afterwards. The TP itself just stays in USB mode even after 10 mins or so...

So is the Touchpad in usb mode or recovery mode?
If u have a command window open inthe Palm, Inc directory where novacom application is and u type "novacom" u should at least
see a list of commands.
If not then u arent in the right place.

It's in Recovery Mode (with the USB sign on the black screen); sorry that's what I meant. I'm thinking it could be a problem with the drivers, but Windows recognises it
Never used the sdk but if its like android then the novacom application will be in a folder in the sdk.
so u will have to run the acmeuninstaller fron a window in that folder.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work
Same result as before... even if I run "novacom.exe" from the sdk folder, it just shows a black cmd screen
Is there any other way to wipe it?
Have you tried following the instructions in THIS THREAD ? It talks about how to completely remove everything and put the TP back to factory 3.0.0 settings.
Nope, but thanks for the link. Unfortunately the novaterm link is down and the Universal Novacom Installer always gets stuck on initialising
Edit: I'm trying to get novacom from the webOS download and novaterm from the palm folder... see how that goes I'll post back once I've tried. Thanks again for all the help.
or uninstall the sdk, delete the Palm, Inc folder.
Download any Webosdoctor from webos internals site.
Run the novacom universal installer, choose "select file", choose the webosdoctor download.
The Palm, Inc folder will be created from it and drivers installed.
If you have any copy off Webos doctor on your computer and have Java installed download Universalnovscominstaller and when or if you have it right click on the file then go down to open with and select Java(TM) Platform, the novacom installer will pop up click on install then click on select file then navigate to wherever you have Webos doctor ie desktop etc select it and hey presto the novacom drivers will be installed.
P.S do not download Webos doctor with windows explorer as for some reason it appears to mess it up , use chrome.
Done and done!
Finally managed to get it done, after trying to do it on 2 Win7 PCs, went to an old XP laptop and tried on there.
If anyone gets stuck on this and finds this thread:
I used Universal Novacom Installer and installed Novacom from webOS Doctor 3.0.5, on an XP system. After that put ACMEUninstaller in Palm, Inc folder and ran the "novacom boot....." command and Android was gone! :victory: :crying:
Thank you all for the help, I'm so relieved after slaving away at this for over a day

Happy you finally got there and thanks for clicking on the thank you box the solution I posted has been given by others so credit to everyone the bit that took me a long time was to click on open with and the fact that for what ever reason windows explorer messes up the download
hence the reason for my post.
All the best.
Just had my TP collected today by UPS. Let's hope when I get it back and try to put android again I won't have to go through this hell again
you can also change the compatibility settings for the app youre trying to run if its not working correctly in windows 7.
I think I've made a huge mistake.
I just wiped my device in TWRP because the last CM Nightly I installed was acting up.
I went into TWRP, wiped and factory reset. I then rebooted and went into TWRP again.
I wanted to install CM 9.1, which I copied onto my 64GB SanDisk Ultra, and I was thinking to just flash it from the external sd.
I read somewhere on xda that I needed to maybe use a smaller SD card and have the format in FAT32, which I did, but TWRP still does not recognize them.
I am currently stuck with TWRP v2.3.1.0, no way to flash a new rom from a blank internal memory or an external memory.
I tried updating SDK and the most updated drivers for the device through the Device Manager and use "adb push" or "adb sideload" but the device is not recognized.
Can someone give me some kind of suggestion to solve this situation.
I’d suggest using a linux install to do the adb stuff if you’re not doing so already, no need for crazy windows drivers to see a connected device.

Windows 8 is a bugger to get drivers working properly.
Try and use a windows 7 machine or a friends laptop or try the following instructions.
Windows 8 Instructions
How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.
Ubuntu is a linux based Operating System, and can be used to do most things Windows 8 does, sometimes worse, sometimes better. So in this case, it's less trouble to connect an android device to a linux OS such as Ubuntu, as it can recognize a telephone without having to install drivers.
If you want to give it a go, you can install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/tired-of-windows-8-how-to-dual-boot-windows-ubuntu/
And then install Fastboot and ADB:
http://putokaz.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools-in-ubuntu-via-ppa/
But, I'd stick to Windows and follow the advice of Flumpster if you're not too confident installing a second operating system.
I can and have knowledge of installing another OS to run alongside Windows.
I use VirtualBox to run Mac OSX and Android. Can I run Linux on VirtualBox and do the process through that?
I am not quite sure what I should do after disabling Driver Signature Enforcement on Windows 8...
Yes, you can install Linux in a virtual machine - give it a try. If the device is still not recognized via OS running in the virtual machine, you can then always install to your hard disk and try that route.
The other option is to run Ubuntu as a live cd eg from the disk in memory (not install) and do it that way. I first unlocked and rooted my mobile this way. I can give more info on this if you like.

I think I'll give a multi-boot option a try. I've been wanting to install a different OS anyway since upgrading to Windows 8. Now I just have incentive.

Just a quick thought after re-reading your first post, I'd try a smaller sd card (16 or 32GB). I have heard of the larger faster cards giving some people problems.
Solved!
After trying to install Linux using Ubuntu 13.04 and getting more errors (something with the UEFI vs Legacy Boot installation), I decided to retry and find the original Windows drivers for the TF201.
I found one through Softpedia, downloaded it, used the "Have Disk" option when installing the yielded "Transformer" device in the Device Manager and sideloading the new CM 10.1 Nightly onto it.
Works like a charm!
Thanks everyone for the support!

I only have one HDD in my laptop. I created two partitions for windows 10 and remix OS each (the HDD have more than 2 partitions, I think the rest are for recovery). I can still boot into remix OS through the grub (or whatever the bootloader remix os installed). load the windows 10 from external drive and repair MBR? thanks. is this the easy way to go? can I repair MBR from other means? (I only have one windows 10 machine and current external booting drive I have is the original HDD loaded with windows 8. My current one is a SDD) thank you!

Bro If you want to Repair MBR (Master Boot Record) then you will have to insert A Live Windows 10 DVD and proceed with installation and choose repair option....that should do the job

i have the same problem and i have try and it not working
I am getting this error
Error:Cannot find GRLDR in all devices.Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.
@MalikShahrozAwan cmon... that's way too few information.
What's your device?
How did you install Remix? Using official installer from Windows to HDD, from Windows to USB, from USB to HDD?
For the future, try to be less lazy please... ughhh
well im using hp dc7900 tower pc
core2duo
4gb ram
3.16 ghz processor
i installed remix os using official installer to hdd
from last 1 month it was working fine and now i see this error
1. Did you updated using OTA?
2. Or did you do nothing and it stopped working?
3. Can you boot into Windows normally?
i did nothing and it stopped working
yes i can normally boot into my windows 7
Just reinstall it then. It's quicker then troubleshooting.
You can back up the RemixOS/data.img file to some other partition -> Uninstall -> Install anew -> restore the backed up data.img to the RemixOS folder -> reboot into Remix.
I don't know how but your bootloader config got corrupted. Maybe you have badblocks in the drive filesystem. You can try:
Start cmd.exe as administrator.
Run this command but change X: to drive where RemixOS is installed:
Code:
chkdsk X: /f /r /x
Once it's done, make a screenshot/picture or save the contents of the console in notepad to show results to us.
Reboot into Remix and check if it helped.
I'm not sure where GRLDR is expected to be - on same partition as RemixOS installation, on disk C: or on the hidden windows boot partition. I don't know legacy boot that well.
It's very likely that badblocks are the problem. It's pretty common and it happens when Remix OS crashes or has bad power management - shutdown/restart causes immediate powerdown of device, even if it's in the middle of writing to disk.
Step by Step Guide to Install Windows 11+Bypass TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and Ram Check
Hello everyone! This guide will explain how you can get a copy of Windows 11 Insider Preview without having to deal with enrolling your Microsoft account via the Windows Insider Program! This is a UUP dump copy of Windows 11 ISO file. You do not need to have a Activated Windows 10 copy to do this! There is a lot of debate and speculation going around dealing with Windows 11 not running on a older PC without TPM 2.0, Secure boot, and 4GB ram. This method / fix is a registry edit that injects bypass code that will overlook TPM, Ram, and Secure Boot into the registry " IF " you get the infamous "Windows 11 cannot be installed on this PC" . This is a temporary fix and I assume this will be patched upon first non-developer release of windows 11 arrives! If you want to use this guide to just get a stand alone copy of Windows 11, go ahead.
How do I get the copy of Windows 11?
1. Open your favorite browser and navigate to
( www.uupdump.net )
2. Click on Dev Channel.
3. Find ( Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22000..51 (co_release) amd64 ) and click the link.
4. Pick your Language.
5. Choose the version of Windows 11 you want to download and DE-select the other versions.
6. On the next page, go ahead and click " Create Download Package "
7. Open the file after it has finished downloading.
8. Open a NEW folder and Navigate to the Local Disk C Folder.
9. Once you are inside Local Disk C, create a NEW folder and name it ( Win11 )
10. Open up the file you downloaded from uupdump again and copy and paste all the files to the brand new folder you created inside the C directory.
11. Run the Windows Command File named ( uup_download_windows )
12. Congrats! Windows 11 is now downloading.... This will take a little bit of time
13. Once the command prompt is done downloading and compiling, you will be prompted to close the command prompt... The Windows 11 ISO file will now be inside the folder you created inside the C Directory.!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now that you have yourself a copy of Windows 11, we can now explore the different options of installing. You can actually take the ISO file and mount it to your PC and install Windows 11 right from your Desktop, you can choose the route of using a USB Drive to install, or you can use a CD but lets be honest.. a CD?
Method #1 USB 8GB / Clean Install
1. Grab another device such as a phone, tablet, or another PC and bring this guide up on that device.
2. Shut Down your PC and boot into your BIOS.
3. Load Setup Defaults and Exit Saving Changes. ( You might have to thumb around for a minute to find some of these options in future steps ).
4. Your PC will restart and Boot into BIOS again.
5. If you have option to Enable TPM, do it. If you don't have this option, do not worry. Continue to the next step...
6. Set the boot mode to UEFI. If you have option for both UEFI and LEGACY, choose UEFI.
7. Enable Secure Boot if you have the option.. If you don't have the ability to change, don't worry. Continue to the next step...
8. Exit BIOS and save changes. Your PC will boot up to OS now.
9. Open your browser and navigate to https://rufus.ie and download.
10. Plug in your USB Drive and open Rufus.
11. Inside Rufus, select your USB drive you want to use for installing Windows 11 and then find the Windows 11 ISO file that you downloaded and let Rufus create the install drive..!
12. Keep your USB Drive plugged into your PC and turn off the power then boot into BIOS again.
13. Find the Boot Menu inside of your BIOS and select the USB drive to boot first.
14. You should boot to the Windows Installer now. Choose your Language and continue.
15. Select " I don't have product key " and continue.
OK, so If you made it to this point and you are faced with the message of " Windows 11 cant be installed on this computer " don't freak. This portion of the guide is only for the people who are stuck with the message above.. If you don't see this message, continue to step #16 please..!
How do I Bypass the Windows 11 TPM 2.0, Ram, and Secure Boot check?
1. Open the Command Prompt by pressing SHIFT and F10 Key at the same time..
2. Now type " Notepad " inside of the CMD and press enter.
3. Now copy and paste or type out the following text once the notepad loads in...
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig]
"BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001
4. Now, click on file at the top left and select save as and click on This PC and find the USB drive or any other internal drive and make sure to click save as type (all files) at the bottom of the window and name the file
" Bypass TPM, Secure Boot & RAM Check.reg " then click on save.
( When you save this file, make sure you are able to access again. I don't care where you save it but it needs to be accessible )
5. Once you saved, click on file again, click on This PC, and browse to the registry file you just created. Once you are in the directory where the registry file was saved, find the drop down menu at the bottom and select All Files again and you will see the newly created Bypass registry file you created.
6. Right click on the Bypass Registry file and choose the " Merge " option and click OK on the following prompts then close all the windows except the install window. Click the back arrow button inside the install window, and continue the setup from step #15 please.
16. Select Windows Version you want and click next.
17. Accept the EULA and continue... Now you select Custom Install and you will see all of your drives on your computer. With this being a clean install, we will want to delete each drive partitions ( Make sure you double check what you are deleting and understand whats happening ), then click on Unallocated space and click next.
18. Now, Windows 11 will install and you go about your way!

Method #2 : Install inside of Windows 10 OS
1. Make sure you already have followed the steps to download a copy of Windows 11 before we continue.
2. Right click on the Windows 11 ISO file inside of the ( Win11 ) folder and click mount.
3. Navigate to This PC and you will see a DVD Drive named ( CPRA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5 ) . This is the Windows 11 ISO file mounted to your system now.
4. Open up the Local Disk C directory and create a new folder named ( Win11Install )
5. Go back to where the ( CPRA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5 ) mounted drive is, right click, and open the folder. Copy and paste all files into the new ( Win11Install ) folder you created inside of the Local Disk C directory.
6. Once the files are done copying into the ( Win11Install ) folder, open the folder, right click setup.exe, and run as administrator.
7. Installer will open, It will say " Checking for Update & Checking your PC "
Intermission
Some of you will slide through with no issues and others will be faced with
" Windows 11 can't be installed on this PC "
If you receive this message, the installer will tell you what you are missing
TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, or RAM Requirements
If you don't see this message, continue onto step #8 please...
My computer is telling me I don't meet the requirements!
What do I do?1. Open your browser and go to the following link. MEGA Download Link
2. Once downloaded, find the file, extract to your desktop or wherever you like.
3. Open the ( Win11Install ) folder located inside the Local Disk C directory, find the sources folder and open that.
4. Once you are inside the sources folder, you will need to replace the old " appraiserres.dll " with the new one you just downloaded.
5. Copy the new .dll file and paste into the sources folder. You will get a message asking to replace and replace file in destination.
6. Close all folder and right click on Desktop and refresh the system.
7. Open up folder and navigate to This PC and EJECT the Windows 11 ISO file.
8. Now open Local Disk C directory and navigate once more to the ( Win11Install ) folder, open, and right click setup.exe & run as administrator.
8. Continue to follow the installer and Install!! Everything is straight forward from here as long as you know how to use a PC

One more thing to keep in mind everyone...Windows 11 is obviously in Developer mode and Microsoft will be pushing these cumulative updates out frequently. Hopefully we will be getting a new solid build soon and I will adjust the means of upgrading to them if needed.For now, these are the 2 best ways to use Windows 11 if you don't choose to enroll in the Windows Insider Program, don't have a genuine copy of Windows 10, and/or your PC doesn't meet the new" Requirements" for TPM 2.0, Ram Check, and Secure Boot Microsoft has laid upon everyone...
Good Day
R U damn sure that Windows 11 being installed this way will be fast on PC's with less than 4GB of ram?
Finally! Installed without issue. My machine meet all the requirements except for the cpu, which is a intel 6th gen.

I understand what you mean..
Depending on how big of a HDD you have, I could make a step by step guide on how to dual boot Win10 and Win11 if you want to try it out. And another thing is that Windows 11 is in Developer Mode now so there will be things that don't seem as good and polished quite yet
You can run it no problem but I cant promise you it will be everything you hope a dream about
What about the beta build released hours ago?

I got the message this pc can’t run Windows 11. Said not the right processor. No TPM. No legacy boot. Wrong motherboard. I am using SDD drive for Windows. I know this can cause installation issues with Windows. Usually there is a serial boot driver for Windows.Swapped with the Mega file. Then followed the steps given. Message was gone. Windows installer completed the check up then asked how to install. I chose to keep all files and apps. The install began. After a few seconds pop up said install failed. Progress never changed. Stayed at 0. Is there an explanation for this?
win Health check says i cant run win 11, but when i go to system - about this is what i see.
