Interesting. Now I use Win7 64 bit, but I’ve heard from others that it can cause some problems. Do you have access to an XP machine?

What OS are you using?

Don’t know why but now I can get it to the correct USB icon screen but now I’m getting unable to find device. I have been attempting the webOS doctor as per instructions but it always says:

Connect your device directly to your computer with your USB cable.

Do not remove the battery or disconnect your device during this process.

It is plugged in, and I have tried multiple cables still to the same effect. Full battery too : /

Hmm, something not right there. From time to time a HPTP will not allow you to dismount correctly, but there are several things you can do, such as hold the power button to force it, or restart your PC.

Bootloader/recovery mode shouldn’t be a black screen, and I’m not sure why you’re getting this – I would recommend a visit to the webOS doctor!

Once this is done, try again.

When I follow all the steps up to installing android and getting into recovery mode I have this issue. When I safely remove the USB HP touch pad, my touchpad stays on the USB connected screen instead of returning to WebOS. So when I restart the device to recovery mode I just get a black screen and when I try and type in the command to begin the installation it just says device not found. Any ideas? :) Thanks!

My Hp TouchPad works well on Android but under WebOs audio and video don’t work.
Thanks!

difficult to say. First thing would be to try a different USB cable, and/or ensure you’re not using a USB hub but connecting directly to the rear USB ports on your PC

When I get to the stage of clicking Install Novacom my desktop it hangs up. I have done everything correctly up to this point. Any advice?

There is no GPS built into the HP TouchPad, so you would need to use a Bluetooth GPS device for this to work.

Yes I do, is there any resolution for that?

You can do this by unplugging the USB cord and holding the power button for about 30 seconds.

Holding both the power button and the button at the bottom will do a complete hard reset (power off).

When the device restarts, use the volume buttons to select webOS
