If you have any copy off Webos doctor on your computer and have Java installed download Universalnovscominstaller and when or if you have it right click on the file then go down to open with and select Java(TM) Platform, the novacom installer will pop up click on install then click on select file then navigate to wherever you have Webos doctor ie desktop etc select it and hey presto the novacom drivers will be installed.

Don't know if you got this working or not but I was experiencing the same issue running Windows 7 64 bit, every time I tried to install is would stick on the installing screen. I ended up have to install using the NovacomInstaller_x64.msi to install and it worked with no problems. There is also a NovacomInstaller_x86.msi for 32 bit systems. I did a quick google search to find the file.

[Q] Having trouble getting CM7 on my TP

First, some info. I have a 32GB model, i have a 64bit windows 7 laptop, and i have novacom installed(i see all of the files in C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc) i have downloaded ACMEInstaller, and extracted the zip to the Palm, Inc folder, i have the right folder on my TP storage( cminstall ) with the cm7, moboot, cwm, and gapps zips in there. But, i get as far as typing the
Code:
novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller
into the cmd, then it just sits there. Nothing happens on the TP, just keeping at the usb screen. Until i unplug it, and make it reboot. Can someone help me out?
I am curious to find out why also. I have the same problem. My TP software is 3.0.4.

Mine is on 3.0.0 and says its up to date?
Ran into the same problem. Eventually had to do it on a winxp box. Tried it on a laptop and desktop with win7 and it was never able to have the PC see the tp.
You all are putting it in USB flasher mode correct?
Need to hold volume up while turning on the the Touchpad, then run novacom.
Also make sure you install the drivers before you plug in the Touchpad. Keeping in mind the 32 or 64 bit choices.

I've had my USB time out on me and it wouldn't load. I would have to re-plug the USB, retype the install to make it work.

I'm getting a "Failed to connect to server" error now.
I just installed CM7 on my mom's TP today. I don't know if this is at all related to your issue, but I failed to unzip the ACME Installer properly and wound up trying to run a 0 size file for an hour or so. Then I fixed it and it worked fine.
use linux instead of windows. it just works everytime. novaterm/novacom never fails from the terminal.
We got it working eventually. Dont know how, but we did.

Nokia Care Suite problem

hi..i`m trying to install NCS 5 but i can`t get past the second screen for installing microsoft visual c++ 2005 sp1...but the problem is that that microsft visual c++ is already instaled on my compute....please help
Try installing it again, just copy the link from that window to your browser and install it, it should resolve your issue.
I had the same problem.
Don't use the given link. Instead search for the program on the Microsoft site and install it.
Do you have a x64 or x32 system?

tried that and still the same thing
If you look closely its asking you to install different versions each time. SO run the instakker and it will ask you to download something else, do it and repeat the install process and it will ask to install something again. Just keep doing this till it has everything installed that it needs. It is a silly install process but does work.

i uninstalled vc++ 2005 and 2010 did a reg cleaning + restart...after reboot i follwed the Care Suite instructions and still everry time i get the popup to install the given VC++ 2005 sp1....
uac blocks
you don't need to uninstall all the stuff.
the most important thing is to deactivate the UAC (user account control).
and then install vc++ 2005 sp1 --> vc++ 2010 sp1.
I had the same problem.
What worked for me is i extracted the .msi with 7-zip. Go in the extracted folder and there will be a file called 'vcredist_x86_2010.exe', run that and it will install the visual c++ its whining about
thx for youre help but i finally managed to install NCS.
first i was tryieng to install the latest version of Nokia_Care_Suite_5.0_2012.12.5.3 and with this version I couldn`t get past the vcredist_x86_2005_sp1 screen but then i downloaded this version Nokia_Care_Suite_5.0_2012.5.5.5 and it work and works great. I don`t now why I cant install the latest version...thx for all youre replies
Hi, i had a same problem with you too, after install vc2005 sp1. I cannot install NCS from Total Commander . But when i try run install from Windows explorer, it work perfectly LOL

Similar rubbish here, kept asking for 2005 + 2010 when I ran the installer from Firefox downloads window, running it straight from Explorer downloads folder solved the issue.
thats just a crap same here windows explorer worked for the first time.
I'm having the same issue. Any time I try to install any of the VC++ it tells me I have a newer version already installed, but the Nokia suite is still asking me for it.

Same weird behaviour here, kept asking for vc2005sp1 when running from chrome installer, worked running it from windows explorer though.

ACMEUninstaller not working :/

Hi everyone,
So my TP is getting picked up sometime in the next 7 days for repairs (cracks and all) and I need to remove android. Couldn't find the novacom drivers online, and universal installer isn't working atm, so I got the SDK and now Device Manager (Windows 7) shows it as Palm Novacom (bootie). [Also, just noticed there is another "Unknown device" as well as the "Palm Novacom bootie" ?!?]
The problem is that when I tried to run the "novacom boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller" command, nothing happens. I tried redownloading ACME, but still the same error. Anyone know what's up or how I can fix this.
Thanks in advance!

where did you put the acmeunistaller file?

C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\ACMEUninstaller
I tried running "novacom" on its own, but still nothing, it just creates a new row and accepts no input afterwards. The TP itself just stays in USB mode even after 10 mins or so...

So is the Touchpad in usb mode or recovery mode?
If u have a command window open inthe Palm, Inc directory where novacom application is and u type "novacom" u should at least
see a list of commands.
If not then u arent in the right place.

It's in Recovery Mode (with the USB sign on the black screen); sorry that's what I meant. I'm thinking it could be a problem with the drivers, but Windows recognises it
Never used the sdk but if its like android then the novacom application will be in a folder in the sdk.
so u will have to run the acmeuninstaller fron a window in that folder.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work
Same result as before... even if I run "novacom.exe" from the sdk folder, it just shows a black cmd screen
Is there any other way to wipe it?
Have you tried following the instructions in THIS THREAD ? It talks about how to completely remove everything and put the TP back to factory 3.0.0 settings.
Nope, but thanks for the link. Unfortunately the novaterm link is down and the Universal Novacom Installer always gets stuck on initialising
Edit: I'm trying to get novacom from the webOS download and novaterm from the palm folder... see how that goes I'll post back once I've tried. Thanks again for all the help.
or uninstall the sdk, delete the Palm, Inc folder.
Download any Webosdoctor from webos internals site.
Run the novacom universal installer, choose "select file", choose the webosdoctor download.
The Palm, Inc folder will be created from it and drivers installed.
If you have any copy off Webos doctor on your computer and have Java installed download Universalnovscominstaller and when or if you have it right click on the file then go down to open with and select Java(TM) Platform, the novacom installer will pop up click on install then click on select file then navigate to wherever you have Webos doctor ie desktop etc select it and hey presto the novacom drivers will be installed.
P.S do not download Webos doctor with windows explorer as for some reason it appears to mess it up , use chrome.
Done and done!
Finally managed to get it done, after trying to do it on 2 Win7 PCs, went to an old XP laptop and tried on there.
If anyone gets stuck on this and finds this thread:
I used Universal Novacom Installer and installed Novacom from webOS Doctor 3.0.5, on an XP system. After that put ACMEUninstaller in Palm, Inc folder and ran the "novacom boot....." command and Android was gone! :victory: :crying:
Thank you all for the help, I'm so relieved after slaving away at this for over a day

Happy you finally got there and thanks for clicking on the thank you box the solution I posted has been given by others so credit to everyone the bit that took me a long time was to click on open with and the fact that for what ever reason windows explorer messes up the download
hence the reason for my post.
All the best.
Just had my TP collected today by UPS. Let's hope when I get it back and try to put android again I won't have to go through this hell again
you can also change the compatibility settings for the app youre trying to run if its not working correctly in windows 7.

you need to install java
run novacom first. i think it might install it for you. its been a while so i dont really remember. if you are not sure if you have installed it previously, then try running a test to see if you have it http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

That's really annoying isn't it! You should use the novaterm inside /program files/palm Inc/terminal/novaterm. It will give you less trouble... moreover if you copy and paste into it with right clicking, you don't need to type anything!

THanks for all the help!!! I wish I had read this copy and paste thing yesterday! I finally got all the commands to go through on novaterm. I rused WebOs Doctor restored web os and then reinstalled android!! It's working great!!

i was gonna suggest this until your last post..
but keep in mind when you wanna mod / upgrade your machine

Andydroid "Cannot start render server thread : render server failed error"

Following are thing that i have tried :
1. tried to run it as admin
2. deleted all of the vms and created a new one
3. restrated it
I have the same issue, it started after I closed it, it seems. Nothing seems to fix it...I'd suggest going to Memu anyway. Seems to work quite a bit better.
I have figured it out! You need to uninstall all vmware products, and andy from your computer. Then you need to install VirtualBox, then after that, reinstall andy.

VMware is part of the installer of Andyroid... So this fix does not work. If you install Andy, and want it working, you will need VMware..

How to properly uninstall andy
Hello, plese, can you hekp me, how can I properly delete my VM and Andy, because if I uninstall wit the option delete user data, when I reinstall I still have the error render server failed error?
Thanks for your answer.
I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 and had the same error. This worked for me: Uninstalled VMware Player and VMware VIX from Settings>Programs and REBOOTED my PC. Then ran the two .msi files (Windows Installer Packages) from C:\Program Files\AndyOfflineInstaller46.2\VMW. Remember to REBOOT your PC, and you'll be fine.
i run the setup again inside Program Files\AndyOfflineInstallerxx.x folder
no uninstall nor restart needed for me atleast.
