Hey all, I tried searching and found nothing here... Looked through the user manual and found some instructions at a site here:
http ://www .samsung-tablets . com/how-to-reset-hp-touchpad. html/
(sorry, not allowed to post links yet so take out the spaces for reference)
I haven't tried anything yet. Basically I'm getting a second-hand hp touchpad. Naturally I want to wipe it clean and factory reset it. However in reading I saw in the aforementioned instructions that you shouldn't put in a new WebOS account. Naturally I don't have an account so I was wondering if anyone knows if I should put in a new account or how to make an account to basically start fresh.
Hope this is possible, thanks all.
When you do a full master reset it will ask you to sign in or create a new account... doesn't hurt anything. Have done it twice and countless times on my Pres.

How-to: Hard Rebooting Your Touchpad
Was working on my Touchpad and came to a problem, my device locked up and stopped responding. After some toying around trying to get it to reboot figured out how to do a hard reboot of it.
Press and hold the power button and the center button simultaneously for 5 seconds.

Hi everyone. It's been two days since the process com.google.process.gapps has started crashing, "stopping unexpectedly" whenever i use the browser on my tab.
Reading the error report, it seems (not 100% sure about that) this is somehow related to the bookmarks sync with Chrome, but i can't find a way to disable this.
Has anyone exprerienced the same issue? Any known solution? Thanks
Go to settings > accounts and sync, click on your account then uncheck everything, then manually sync everything one by one to see what is causing the error.
Then go to manage apps and clear the cache of all the problem apps and re-sync them once you're done. It might take a few tries but it should take care of that error.
I'll try that as soon as possible, thanks!
browser sync was causing this for me
I believe that bookmarks sync no long works with galaxy tab. Google changed something on their end that should have worked fine(it still works on the xoom, transformer, etc.) but since samsung changed a bunch of stuff for no apparent reason, it is now broken. samsung is so stupid sometimes..
So you're basically suggesting that bookmarks sync should stay off to avoid problems like that?
well I don't really know. I never used bookmark sync in the first place. I'm just going by what is said in this article.
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/br...gle-or-the-oems/17840?tag=mantle_skin;content
It turns out that at some point Google started making some changes to the backend systems that handle Google’s user account data. There’s nothing wrong with them doing this; it happens all the time. In fact, no other Android 3.1 tablets had any issues at all with the changes, and their bookmark sync continued to work without a blip on the radar.
Not Samsung, however... I did some digging around the internet, and it’s become somewhat well-known amongst Android developers that Samsung actually modifies core source code in the Android operating system that handles communicating with Google’s backend data services.

Well, that's a pity. I had just started to think it was a useful tool to keep track of unread web pages between work, home and outside...
Let's hope Samsung somehow fixes that.
PS: disabling bookmarks sync actually stops the process from crashing, I think I've solved (if we could really say so...) the issue. Thanks to all!
Thanks, disabling auto sync for browser has stopped the error. Samsung developers need to fix this - I can't auto sync my gmail
What am I missing here?
Ok be prepared, this post may be rather long winded however I will try my best to prevent that. I have a Tmobile G2x I purchased on launch date. Ive not attempted to Root, change roms, or anything of the sort. (as much as I always wanted to, I always felt that my skills were not good enough to attempt these ideas no matter how easy they may seem. I just did not want to be the cause of screwing up my phone that I paid dearly for)
So I have a friend who claims to be the master (of disaster so it turns out) of rooting androids and such. He stops by my house just to hang out and eventualy convinces me to let him root my phone and install CM7. Within a few minutes the phone was rooted (super1click) and was running CM7 release candidate. (I really dont know what all these things truly are but I drilled him for answers once he jacked up my phone and left me with a half-bricked phone) So he installed Rom manager and convinced me to upgrade to the premium version via marketplace so I did. He was then showing me how easy it was to flash new roms at the touch of a few buttons. He put on some other rom which looked like CM7 but claimed to have extra tweaks. It worked fine. A few minutes later he put on some Faux Rom which gave a boot up screen like my old Nexus One did. (Multicolored X) It seemed to work fine as well. Then he said lets check out the nightly CM7 Rom so he put it on. (however I dont think it ever actually put CM7 back on.-still on Faux?) Thats when things got crazy.
Now I get the com.google.process.gapps force close message all the time. He tried to fix it for 4 hours and finally gave up. Here is what I know he/we tried: After searching the internet for hours we tried everyone elses ideas. Clearing calenders cashes, un syncing, etc. We did about 40 factory resets. We have tried to install my backup (which was from BEFORE he even touched my phone) and upon holding both volume rockers and plugging in USB (no battery installed) and it still does nothing. Windows recognizes device but phone screen stays black. Tried Debug mode while doing this as well. If we hold the volume down button and power the little install bar comes on the screen and it does its thing (whatever that is) and goes right back to the way it was. I keep getting the gapps message all the time. After factory reset I cant even type in my gmail address to start the initial setup of the phone. The force close keeps cutting me off. If I type fast, I can sync the account but I cant use market whatsoever. Tried installing Rom manager to re-flash but just sticks at starting download and gapps pops up again.
My son is starting school tomorrow and he has a medical condition. I NEED this phone to communicate with the school nurse via emails and such. As of now I can only text, call, or surf web all while dodging force closes. If ANYONE out there can please help me get my phone back to normal Id greatly appreciate it. Im sure its something easy but as I said before, Im not good at this thing and thats why I never attempted it myself. Your welcome to submit answers here or PM me your phone # if you want to walk me through it on the phone. (I have a landline phone to talk to you on) Thanks in advance for everyones time and Im sorry this ended up being so long.
Hello,
Based on your post, I would suggest that you search your phone's development forum on XDA for a compatable clockwork recovery mod which will install a custom recovery on your phone. The thread will give you instructions on how to do so and how to enter recovery mode.
You can then enter the 'Backup and Restore' part of the recovery and restore your backup manually without using ROM manager. If this doesn't work, I would suggest that you then download the ROM of your choice and install it from the clockwork recovery. Make sure you clear user data and wipe the cache before you install.
Any fix yet? This is really annoying me as I rely on my bookmarks tremendously.
try this:
Open stock browser and under settings choose clear cache and deletehistory
Well, I posted about this in another thread but figured I would post here to get more exposure.
So, here is the issue. I rooted my NT and renamed the LatinIME.apk to LatinIME.apk1 so I can move my swiftkey apk (which I was going to rename LatinIME.apk). Of course, I had a blonde moment and renamed the built in APK before renaming the swiftkey apk and I lost the keyboard. No big deal right? Just reset device. So, I reset by going into settings and doing the reset/deregister device. Got back into the set up....still no keyboard. So I tried a hard key reset (n and power) and still no keyboard.
It appears that, when doing a reset, the device wipes all data but does not actually RESET the OS through any recovery type process.
Question........any ideas? I can't get adb obviously because I have lost debugging.
Curious if there might be anyway to boot the device differently to access shell or something. Hopefully someone has an idea, I have to wait tell monday to replace it if it comes to that
what about installing nook color tools then you can get back to the development menu. enable usb debugging and take care of the rest with adb.

As I understand it. Nook color tools is an apk...which I cannot install due to not being able to get past the B&N account login screen. Can't get past that without a keyboard
I'm in a similar boat. Was trying to get the market working following the thread on the other page, and I copied the entire apps folder over my existing one (why I didn't backup the old one!) Now I have no keyboard either, and I'm getting constant force closes!
Maybe someone could post an un-modified system folder?
Try a failed 8 boots, turn on, after black N screen hold power until screen turns off and repeat 8 times.
^. After a certain amount of failed boots the nook will default into a total factory reset. Witnessed it earlier today when after installing Chainfire the NT went into a a boot-loop. Then automatically reset itself.
Worth a shot.
Well, I tried 8 failed boots, and it didn't re-image. I then peeked in the rom/devconf/ folder and there's no "bootcnt" file?
*edit* Got it to work. Took 10 times.
Ok, so I kept trying to boot which resulted in it eventually giving me a screen saying "please reboot your device. If the error continues contact customer support or goto nook.com/tablet/support". The website was no help. Took it to a store, they called customer support and got confused. Customer support told them to replace it. So they did...I didn't even have to give back my charger...so now I have an extra!
Returns
I really hope B&N Customer Support figures out it would be a heck of a lot cheaper to let us run our own image off an SD card, and not have to deal with all the customer support calls and returns.
Unfortunately - they are much more likely to yell Warranty Violation and refuse to do anything...
Would it have been possible to mount the device and access it from Ubuntu and then just renaime the file?
Got mine to re-image. Re-rooted and market installed. I'm happy again!

Details please. How did you do it?
You power down, then power back on. As soon as the white screen comes up (with the "n" on it) hold down the power button until it powers down again. Do this ten times in a row and it will automatically start the re-image. If at any time the boot animation starts up you have to start over.

For the particular issue I was having...no. Since I reset the device I was not able to get past the B&N login screen and therefor had no access to the /system/app folder. Although, it seems that some people are having success with the re-image process. I think mine was trying to re-image but something was corrupt and caused my to have worse issues that resulted in nothing but replacement.
I recently factory reset and deleted the superuser apk from the system app directory because I was contemplating exchanging for the galaxy nexus (how could i, i know...). I then rerooted my phone and it appeared to work fine.
Anyways, if I do a google search either through the search hardware key or the widget app, and then open a page and then push the back key it brings me back to the search app not the search results page. Its actually quite annoying and I swear it was not like this before (because it would have drove me crazy then as well.)
Any clue on how to fix this, or should I just try another factory reset and hope it sorts things out?
No clue what it was but did a factory reset and now it works fine. Loving the razr.
Cheers
Hello,
Earlier today, my phone just started acting up. All day, every single app was force-closing to where I cannot even use the phone anymore. Email, google docs, dialer one, calendar, everything. It was annoying.
I decided to run a hard-reset by pressing the up/down arrows and power button. I chose factory reset and saw the lock screen.
I got to the HTC vision and I was able to enter my google account so I can start synching up my phone.
After clicked the "finish set-up I get a force Close again. Here is the exact error.
Sorry!
The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Since I can't click on anything else, I click on force close and I basically cannot see anything after that. No home screen, but I do see the taskbar on top. When I turn off and turn the phone on, I will get stuck at the Dell Logo.
Please help!!! I don't know what to do.
I have the Dell Froyo Stock Rom, can't remember exactly what build.
Thank you guys
I also don't see anything if I press on the physical menu button. I put it on my dock, I clicked the clock icon and it automatically force close, did not even see the clock.
This is so wierd. I appreciate all the help.
Thank you
Nim
Wrong place to ask question. This is for developing thread.

The mods will move the thread to the right place, but to try and help the OP out, it sounds like the inner MicroSD may be going bad. Run a diagnostic on it by getting the Streak into Fastboot mode (instructions on the wiki), then tapping *#301# into the keypad that pops up in Fastboot. You should see a list of options of which one should be to test the MicroSD.
If the MicroSD passes the diagnostic, then the ROM somehow became corrupt and you need to flash a new copy. If the MicroSD doesn't pass the diagnostic, it will need to be replaced.
I am really sorry.. I thought I was in the proper thread.
Mods, please delete, I will make a new thread to the other sub-forum. I apologize once again.
Strephon Alkhalikoi: Thank you for your help. I ran the diagnostic and fortunately SD card and SIM card is working fine.
So looks like I have to reflash the ROM, I kind of have an idea. I flashed the official Dell Froyo long time ago but I cannot remember exactly how. I guess I'll have to wait until Monday coz my computer at work is set-up already for ADB and all that.
Hit the thanks button next to my post if I was helpful. And...deleting a thread isn't necessary. The mods may move it if they feel it belongs in another section, and for them that's not a great deal of work.
Hi, new here and I am hoping you guys can help me. I tried the sticky tread, but no response.
I have a problem and can't seem to find a solution.
Yesterday my phone had some problems with the camera and suggested to restart the phone. Did so, but now it is asking me for a password to startup the phone. I forgott my password and came to my last try. If I get it wrong this time, my phone will reset itself, deleting all the data. Is there a way to bypass this first password?
I am finding stuff about how to unlock a lockscreen (for example: https://android.imyfone.com/remove-screen-lock/unlock-motorola/), but I haven't even reached to that step yet, at least I think. Maybe I am seeing/understanding things wrong.
My phone is still the way it came out of the factory, so no rooting or USB debugging. It's a Motorola One, no idea which android version it is running on. I bought the phone in 2019, so I am guessing it's running on Pie or higher, if possible Sorry, I am a true newbie at this.
From the Netherlands, sorry for any typos..
Please help!
This may come over as if I am trying to use someone elses phone, but it is mine. I can prove it. I have proof in the form of an invoice. I will show it if needed.
Please, there are photo's and other personal data on the phone. I don't want to lose it unless I have no choice. Maybe somebody knows a way how to get my personal data copied to the computer? Then I can perform a hard reset. Please help me..
salam aleikum,
we both seem to have the same problem.
my phone is not from factory, but from a Basar.
It looks absolutely new, no scratch.
But when i started it first 2 weeks ago, i could not even get past start menu.
It has a "Lock Pattern" and it is still registered with someone. But obiously it is used before, it came without Box or Manual.
Ive tried hours and days to get it to work.
But all i can find is people on youtube that bypass the password, but for me it doesnt work. I have no idea what Android version it is running, but the Glitches that i found where people go from "foreign keyboards" to "Feedback" into Chrome and appstore dont work.
I can not return it, do i only have expensive Trash now or Is it Possible to Install AndroidOS again and overwrite?
I tried factory reset and know now how to go into the BIOS.
I have never done any Modifications or Rooting to any phone, im okay with computers.
But from reading here it seems I have to know exactly what version my phone is on or its possible to break it completely.....
I saw the Bios_Menu "install from disk"
So i guess if i get the right version an a memorycard maybe i can do like a windows or linux "format/c" an have a fresh start?
I dont have money for a new phone, curretly i still have a wiko lenny 2 but the display is broken an i can only use half of the keyboard.
Always need to turn the screen and every message or google search takes one hour.
Please just tell me YES or NO
i will learn it myself but now im really frustrate by this.
EDIT: Through the keyboards i managed to get to feedback section and found this infos:
Package Version: 26751214
Package Version Name: 7.5.12.211120031release arm 64 v8a
Adnd some others
