How to download and update HP touchpad drivers for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP? Generally speaking, there are two methods, manually searching for the corresponding HP track pad drivers downloads and employing a HP touchpad driver update utility tool. Below is how:
This solution saves your HP computer from the malware. Head over to the HP official website support page and then search for the HP touchpad drivers you need, such as HP Synaptics touchpad drivers, HP Alps touchpad drivers, HP Elan touchpad drivers, HP touchpad driver for Ubuntus, HP touchpad ADB drivers etc.
Alternatively, you can count on a reliable HP touchpad driver update utility tool, like Drive Talent, which could download and update the compatible HP touchpad drivers automatically, no spyware, no viruses.
Note: In addition to HP track pad drivers download and update, Drive Talent involves more advanced features, such as drivers restore, system restore, drivers uninstall, drivers pre-download for another PC, hardware detection, VR support check and PC speed up, etc.

Hackers have been installing new builds of Android on the tablet for ages, and while the road has sometimes been bumpy, these days the aging TouchPad is probably better with Android than it ever was with webOS.
You need three things to get the full Android experience. A recovery lets you flash software updates and make other changes. The Android ROM is basically the operating system. And the gApps package includes the Google Play Store and other Google apps such as Gmail, YouTube, and Google Maps.
Android users: Most Android ROMs let you press and hold the power button and until a power menu pops up. Choose the reboot option and when you get to a black screen with blue text, choose the option for webOS recovery. A big USB icon should appear on your screen.
You may also eventually be able to permanently install TouchPad Toolbox on your tablet so that you can access it from the boot menu without first plugging your tablet into a PC. This could let you resize and repair partitions, create webOS volumes, or make other changes without a PC.

How do i get a working novacom driver , every time i try one of the links and try and run it i get an error , i am running windows 10 and trying to install android on my hp touchpad but the novacom is holding me back.
i wiped webos using touchpad toolbox and couldnt get android installed correctly and accidentally pulled the usb cable out and the battery died. it wont turn on now so i can go into toolbox again. how do i fix this?
I wiped the WebOS using tptoolbox and installed the cm11. It was working like a charm and for the first time my webcam and microphone were working in android. But then few days ago I accidently left the TP on over night and the battery completely drained and no amount of charging (tried even 3 days) is doing anything.. I have seen this issue before but earlier was able to revive it using different techniques.. none of them working now..
Can you please help me with this?
Great Tutorial.
I was stuck at a point where on installing android i got an error saying cannot read the revery file. To overcome this i used chrome to download the recovery file where it remain in zip status unlike in safari where it auto unzips it and then i had to zip it manually. Looks like the recreation of the zip was causing some issue.
Now that I have everything ready to go, the computer with toolbox that allowed me to reset data does not recognize novacomd. The tablet is in os recovery mode. It reads- server not found, cannot find novacomd services, try reinstalling. I have no idea why this is happening. Could you please help? Thanks.
Hi this is Alison, So right now my toolbox shows in the touchpad but the touchpad does appear on my computer. There is a new folder labeled Palm, Inc. I have no ttinstall folder. I don;t seem to be able to mount media volume. Is there a way I can transfer the Rom, recovery, & Gapps zip file to the touchpad?
Sir,
I installed android on my touchpad following process mentioned above and I am getting SOD issues. all the SOD solutions are older than this Android Toolbox.. please suggest some effective solutions. I have wiped out webOS following this process.
Thanks
thanks, i installed this and a couple others that caused my touchpad to have a sound problem after going into sleep and not waking up from sleep at least once a day. I gave up and installed SCHIZOID 2.11 rom with an android 4.2.2 and works great so far with no problems,
I am also having this problem, tried many suggestions none have worked. Example: First, you need to remove and then reinstate later your Google account. This you can do in the settings of your Android device, under accounts, tap on the Google option and then hit the menu button and select remove account.
I installed this perfectly but the only problem now is it keeps freezing and becomes unresponsive in a black screen ( one time in a blue screen) the device wont charge and sees dead till i press power then home button to restart. need help please
Hello guys, I read all the posts of this blog but none could help me so I can install android, I still believe it may be some file that is not downloaded properly, and neither got back to what he was before, ie without operating system none on my tablet.
This worked like a champ, but I am having problems with Netflix. It is all garbled when I attempted to watch a movie. The app runs fine until I attempt to watch a selected movie. All other apps appear to be working fine. Has any one else had an issue with the Netflix app after doing this process?
Went through a few rooting guides and although they worked, I was not happy with them. I came across this one and love it! It rocks. Now if I could only find something similar for the Motorola Xoom :d
I just wanted to thank the developers for the hard work and the organization of the steps on this website. The existing install of WebOS was limited to say the least. This is fantastic and extremely impressed!
On my 32GB Touchpad I have a maximum of 27.5GB available. With Android, WebOS(V3.0.5) lots of apps/preware and the free space required to use the TP toolbox(600MB+) it takes up around 1.17GB. If you remove WebOS the remaining media space will be around 600-900MB, so the total cost for WebOS is only about 500-600MB. You will need to boot into WebOS to access its media SDcard space or use either the Jcsullins CM11 or Evervolv DM Kikat roms. Personally I like WebOS and think having a dual boot device is one of the unique and intriguing features of owning an HP TouchPad, the choice is yours.
B]Now from WebOS we will wipe our SDcard before the TPtoolbox can setup our partition/volumes. Completely wipe your SDcard by booting into WebOS and going to, launcher/settings/device info/reset options/erase USB drive. The Touchpad will then reboot itself and the data will be completely erased. Note:This will not affect your WebOS setup, apps or Preware.
Skip this step and move right to installing android:
A)(Optional) Complete Data Reset, Completely Removes WebOS and Android
-If you wish to completely remove WebOS and uninstall android run this procedure.
-Scroll down to Complete Data Reset and select it with the home button and choose yes to begin the process.
-If you previously did step number 3 then skip this step and proceed to step B).
Hey Rick R I was having the same issue. I realized that apparently you are supposed to leave the download files zipped when you transfer them to your touchpad. I kept unzipping them into the folder and getting the same error. If you were doing the same thing just copy each ZIP into the folder and go from there. Hope this helps.
Here is the fix Note(Important): If the TP Toolbox fails to run several times you may get an error message when trying to mount the volume during the install. To fix this rerun the complete data reset or wipe the USB drive from WebOS.
The complete data reset is done from the TPToolbox and the USB drive wipe is done from WebOS. From WebOS go to launcher/settings/device info/reset options/erase USB drive Have a look at my guide below to see the screenshots.
Did you try another USB cable, that worked for Rick? Could you explain when the hiccup happened and what steps you did previously to it happening? Did you do the complete wipe and have it crash there?
Thank you Roland! Worked like a champ. I freaked out and then forgot about running the toolbox again. Ran the toolbox, and it worked. To all the developers, thank you so much. This is one amazing tablet!
