[kruptd316]

...answered my own question. I did a full data erase. (2nd one from the bottom) it started up like a brand new touchpad, only this time I was able to create a WebOS account...MUCH THANKS TO THE GUYS WHO DO THE REAL WORK!!

How did you do the full data erase? Whenever i use the WebOS doctor on my touchpad, i get error at 12%. Anything i am doing wrong? Please help.

Thanks

Great HP allowed you to create a new account on the demo. It is working!!!!!!

go to device info you can reset it from there I bought 2 and hope that support stays around but I don't think it will

Ive done a full erase from the touchpad but after its done erasing everything it reloads and installs all of the demo stuff again. Now my question is do i need to doctor the touchpad which i have tried but failed since the "next" option in the webosdoctor after its done "checking system" doesn't light up to click on it. Ive done a doctor on a Pre before which is no different and ive followed all of the instructions to doctor it, "press the power button and the volume up until you get the USB icon" but after i connect it ive waited about 10-20 mins and it still doesnt light up, what could i be doing wrong....any ideas?? Any help would be really appreciated

Follow the instructions on the first page of this thread, it's the third post.

Ive tried that but the next button still wont light up. Im gonna try it on a different computer and maybe thats the problem. I tried it on my windows 7 but im gonna try it on a Vista

Have you tried the instructions in the parentheses to turn on recovery mode?

[831gsxr]

that was exactly wat i was trying to do, i put the touchpad into recovery mode and the webosdoctor wouldn't do anything after it was connected. I knew it would read it since the computer made a sound once it was connected

Remember to not plug in your touchpad until it says tothen you'll seethe next. And check the silly stuff. Make sure your usb cable works 100 percent and that your touchpad is charged. And sometimes you just gotta do it a few times. I did.
