HP TouchpadGO stuck after IPK install

[rwhitby]

<> PLEASE boot into recovery mode and make a memboot backup from there before you mess the device up any further. I'll need that backup from you when you decide to accept my offer later on!

You need a doctor, or at least a webOS.tar or installer.uImage to be able to do that.

Maybe I can transfer everything from the working one to the dead one?, of course I would make a backup first, still finding out how to do that

As my experience with HP tells me, the difference in the version number is vital.

And one more thing...如果可以的話PM我用中文吧...簡繁體無所謂(雖然其實我平時用簡體吧), 說英文很累啊...T_T

Great. Since you are able and willing to help, I guess we are all set to start resurrecting this Unicorn.

First, we need to transfer LunaSysMgr ... This is located at "/usr/bin/LunaSysMgr"

You can receive this file using WOSQI, for example. henri_p, can copy this file from the broken Go and send it over to me? I would appreciate if aboutblank can do the same.

henri_p, make sure that you backup EVERY AND EACH file I point you at. Keep that copy somewhere safe.

It is highly likely that this is causing the issue. Palm tends to keep the same universal libraries across builds but they change the core programs like the Luna manager quite a lot.

posts to buy things should be posted in the marketplace forum. thanks.

Hi All,

Please stop posts and PM's for selling those things, I need 2 for myself, the 3th will go to Rod from Precentral, this will benefit everyone and not just one person.

Thanks.

Can we have these files, please:

/usr/bin/hidd
/usr/bin/LunaSysMgr
/usr/bin/sensord

/usr/lib/libcjson.so
/usr/lib/libhal.so
/usr/lib/libhid.so
/usr/lib/libhidkeypad.so
/usr/lib/liblunaservice.so
/usr/lib/libmjson.so
/usr/lib/libPmLogLib.so
/usr/lib/libpsc.so
/usr/lib/libsensor.so
/usr/lib/libusd.so
/usr/lib/libusd_drv_isl29023_als.so
/usr/lib/libusd_drv_lsm303dlh.so
/usr/lib/libusd_drv_mpu3050.so
/usr/lib/libusf.so

Put them in a single Archive file and upload them to mediafire. I am having problems with Megaupload .

Hi Rob,


TP files.rar

one file is not on the touchpad, /usr/bin/sensord

I think if I replace all the files in the ipk with the originals and re-install that ipk that problem could be solved..no?

I got a rar file with 3.03 and all files look to be same datestamp and size as the ones on the TP

you got the rar file with 3.0.3 files from some friend or do you have some sort of doctor? I am checking these files as we speak. Thanks!

EDIT:
Okay, I hashed the files I got from you with the files found in the IPKG file. I can confirm that all the libraries that are found in the installation matches the ones you have on your device currently. However, the files found in the binaries doesn't match. It is quite confusing. We need more leads.

We need to hash the original files and figure out what has changed and what hasn't.

You can use a program called HashMyFiles. Hash the files you got from your TPG and the original files in the rar files. Moreover, can you upload the original files so I can take a look at them. Thanks.

I am not sure if the question is directed at me since you mention "Rob", however, I will try to answer it .

In theory, this is what we are trying to do; however, we want to be careful about this as we don't have the doctor available. Therefore, we need to compare the files and see what were replaced and confirm that they are the root-cause of the semi-brick. Then and only then, we can proceed with the replacement. As you have said before, this is a testing device, so you don't know if the files on any other testing device can match.

EDIT3:
Before I forget. The IPKG defines two services. We might want to disable them. Go to Linux Commandline and type the following:

initctl list

Look for the following services or anything close to them:

com.baidu.ime
com.palm.sensord

Regards,

Those service were not running.

I did the following, extracted the ipk in Linux, and then replaced ever file mentioned in that IPK with files from the tarball I got, for some I had to stop the appropriate service, such as hidd and LunaSysMgr , but in the end I have a working system !! ( I might have copied more than needed..)

weird thing is that I have an associated webOS account now with a name I don't know, however impostah too care of this and it's under my name now !, I remember that it use to be "Dr skipped firstuse"

[Mutoidi]

Congratulations!

See.. NO Unicorns were 'killed' in the sending of these messages!

[Grabber5.0]

Dr Skipped Firstuse is what you see for your palm profile when you bypass activation on a device. The OS is dependent on a profile being present, so it has a default.

Glad to hear your device has been resurrected. I was almost sure it was a lost cause.

[henri_p]

Yeah !, happy.

Only issue still is the rotation, but i'm sure i'll figure it out in the end.
I by the way dropped my idea of installing Android on them, webOS is a rocksolid thing, even if you screw it totally up ;-)

Glad to hear that.

Congratulation!

What do you mean by the rotation? you mean automatic rotation of the screen orientation?
