This page describes how to install CyanogenMod 9 onto an HP TouchPad. It refers to file and directory names found in the previous step: Configuring webOS.

Prepare the TouchPad

  • Boot the TouchPad to webOS.
  • Connect the TouchPad to the PC with the provided USB cable.
  • A USB notification window will pop up on the TouchPad display.
  • Select USB Drive mode.
  • The TouchPad will be assigned a device drive number by Windows Explorer.
  • Windows Explorer will create a window open to the TouchPad's root directory.

Create the install directory

Create a directory cminstall in the webOS root directory. Precise spelling and case is essential.

Copy the four .zip files from the PC's cminstall.dir folder into the TouchPad /cminstall directory:

  • moboot_038-tenderloin
  • cm-9-20130429-NIGHTLY-tenderloin
  • update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215
  • update-gapps-ics-20120429-signed

Create the backup recovery directory

  • Create a directory clockworkmod in the webOS root directory.
  • Create a directory backup in the newly created /clockworkmod directory
  • Copy the correct archive to the /clockworkmod/backup directory.

Eject the TouchPad, then disconnect the USB cable from the TouchPad

Reboot and Install

Reboot the TouchPad into USB (recovery) mode

  • Hold PowerOn button and Volume UP simultaneously until the large white USB symbol appears on the TouchPad display.
  • Connect TouchPad to PC with provided USB cable. The PC will give a tone indicating the connection is made.

On the PC, open a Windows Command execution window

  • cd C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc
  • Excute the following command:
    • novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller3
  • The prompt will return within a second or two.
  • The TouchPad display will change to the HP logo and then immediately to the Double Penguin display mode.
  • Screens of text will scroll by while the installation proceeds.
  • The TouchPad will reboot in five minutes or so.
  • Disconnect the TouchPad from the PC as it boots.

Moboot should present multiple boot selections, and it should default to CyanogenMod 9 after a timeout of about five seconds. Allow the TouchPad to boot to CM-9. It takes two or more minutes to reboot.

Proceed to configure the CM-9 environment.
