- Open up a command prompt, and cd to the location where you extracted the ramdisk.
- Type this:
Code:
location\to\novacom.exe boot mem:// < nova-installer-image-topaz.uImage
where "location\to\novacom.exe" is the full path to novacom.exe. It's typically at C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\novacom.exe on Windows. If you have the webOS SDK installed, just type "novacom" and it should work, providing PATH is set up to look in the right places. See here for more info on membooting. - When the prompt returns and you see the HP logo on the TP's screen, shell in to the device with either WOSQI or novacom (you should know how to do that). WOSQI is easier, since you'll be using it later.
- Type at the device prompt:
Code:
mount /dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal
- Using WOSQI transfer the files over to the correct locations. There is a send file option in one of the menus. When you send the file do not append the file name to the destination field. Otherwise a new directory that is the same as the file name will be created, and the actual file saved under that directory.
- Type at the device prompt:
Code:
umount /media/internal
and then:
Code:
tellbootie recovery
You are already in USB Recovery mode, so load ACMEInstaller with the memboot command above, with necessary adjustments, and then follow whatever Android installation guide you're using.
You sir, are a scholar... Thanks a lot.. Worked like a charm....
