TPToolbox replaces:
  • ACMEInstallers
  • ACMEUninstallers
  • Various methods of resizing volumes (erroneously called partitions)
  • Various methods of reflashing the A6 battery monitoring chip
  • Various methods of completely wiping/recreating volumes

TPToolbox adds:
  • A straightforward, reliable and easy-to-use method of installing the current (i.e. KitKat/Datamedia) versions of Android on the Touchpad.
  • The ability to completely remove webOS.
User Interface
As the toolbox name implies, there are several tools in tptoolbox. These tools are accessible via a menu-driven interface:

Last I heard, there was no way to re-add webOS tho. :D

How's that? Below from Sullin's new thread:

Create webOS Volumes

If you want to re-install webOS following a "Full Data Reset," you will need to run this prior to running webOS doctor.
At this time, re-installing webOS should only be done prior to installing Android. Tools to assist re-installing webOS after Android has been installed (without detriment to the Android install) may be provided in the future.

Post #5:

Limitations

  • This thread
  • Only Touchpad Wifi supported (not 4G) at this time
  • Support for non-KitKat/DataMedia installs very limited for now
  • Re-install of webOS after Android installed is not supported yet
  • Method for permanently installing TPToolbox (always available via moboot) not available yet


Obviously I missed the rest tho... :D

So I downloaded all the files that I need and start with a fully charged touchpad. I currently am running an older version of android on it with webos, but decided since I have not used webos in over 2 years, why not wipe it clean, install a new version of android and just leave off webos.

Now with everything in place, I connect the touchpad in recovery mode, start touchpad toolbox, i see the commands scroll on the touchpad screen for maybe 1 or 2 seconds and it then just reboots itself. Am I missing something or is this just not working?

I even thought maybe I was running low on storage and did a factory reset of android to wipe everything that was installed off with no luck.

I just want to wipe this clean and do a fresh install of kitkat or whatever. dont need anything else on it, dont even need the multiboot. Any recommendations out there?????

After installing toolbox, got the display as expected.
But it does NOT response on volume up/down key - no navigation I can do.
I can only reboot it.
Tried again, had the same problem.
So, I can't install
How to fix it?

Thank you very much!
