Didn't see this over here, posting for people who don't check Rootz. I'll just post his description here. Downloads and instructions in the OG thread. Now for the good stuff:
From the README: TPDebrick v0.1 by jcsullins
===========================
TPDebrick is a set of files and scripts used to "de-brick" HP Touchpads. This process should allow the revival of Touchpads that cannot boot (only gives QDLoader mode) due to corrupted partitioning or bootloaders. Note that this should allow you to get into bootie (webOS) recovery mode. Additional steps may be needed after that to restore the bootie configuration or Operating System (i.e. webOS doctor).

Seen this today, looks promising!

thanks, will save it somewhere to try when i got a bug (hope not )
tpdebrick v004 is out, saved a co-workers touchpad today :good:
I may be in need of using this on my touchpad. I can't seem to revive it from the battery with question mark. After having mistakenly let the battery get so low it auto powered off while running CM9. My questions before proceeding with this are:
Am I doing the power + vol up + home correctly? Am I supposed to do it while plugged into a PC or wall outlet or while not plugged in to get the USB icon? As this is to be determined to know if this tool is needed to fix the TP.
And second question if I use this tool to fix my TP will I lose all ROM (internal storage) and virtual SD card data? If it will is there any chance of being able to back up data before doing the process or recovering the data after? All my backups of the TP reside on the virtual SD card. Something I'm beginning to think is a bad idea given my resent issues. I'm considering cloud storage for backups. I never expected to run into situations where I'd lose data on the SD or lose access to the SD but anyways I'm rambling.

I am fairly certain it does not matter whether its plugged into pc usb port or mains. You should get the usb icon regardless.

In my experience of using this tool, as user data/configuration/etc is present after the de-bricking process.
Peace.
I actually need to use this and my Linux box is 12.10 64-bit arm, am I out of luck?

It ran just fine on my 12.10, 64 bit intel box that I use to build android. I hope it can work for your arm box. Give it a try. It shouldn't fail in any disasterous way, it should just give an error. Jcsullins wrote the code pretty well in that respect.
Otherwise, you will need an intel or amd machine that you can boot a live cd on.
Best of luck.
This is such an awesome tool for the touchpad, should be in everyone's repertoire

My touchpad was completely dead and the battery sign wouldn't even come on. Not surprising, considering I hadn't charged it in a month. Regardless, I took it apart and removed the battery. I didn't have a battery charger so I took an old USB wire and spliced it exposing the + and - wires. I plugged the USB portion into the TP charger and the exposed wires into the respective positive and negative ports of the battery. I left it like that for a couple days, put everything back together and it started up with the ? mark in a battery symbol. Ran the debrick tool and my TP's good as new! Amazing tool from an amazing developer!

Possibly a stupid question, but does the tp have to be on in order for you to debrick it? I have one I cant power on I thouight I'd try if this is possible..

This isn't development, nor is it hacking.
But, try getting a disc to reinstall off of.
I tried download but what I really want to know is how to access recovery partitions if that happens.

PowerISO: http://download.cnet.com/PowerISO/3000-2646_4-10439118.html
1. Install PowerISO
2. After installation is complete, PowerISO will be integrated into Windows (meaning a PowerISO sub-menu will appear when files are right-clicked). Locate the ISO file to be mounted on your PC and right-click it.
3. In the PowerISO sub-menu, select Set Number of Drives and 1 Drives. This action creates a virtual drive. Locate My Computer on your PC, and you should be able to see a new drive (depending on how many actual drives you have, this may be named ‘F’, ‘G’ or something else).
4. The next step is to mount the ISO file to the new virtual drive you created in Step 3. Locate the ISO file on your PC again, right-click it and select PowerISO, Mount Image to Drive (x) (whatever PowerISO has labelled the virtual drive as).
5. The ISO file will now be mounted on the virtual drive. You can access it in My Computer in the same way you would a real drive. Double-click the virtual drive to open the ISO “disc”..
6. Open File explorer> Computer> Deceives and Removable Storage> Click "Setup.exe" go through the procedure

So after flashing the new lollipop update I found myself stuck in a bootloop unable to get into the android operating system at all. I used flashboot and the intel flash tool to try and restore to an older ROM. It forze at 91% with an "error:unable to mount /data" I then used the root tool to try and sideload and install the update.zip from adb shell. No luck. When I rebooted I got to a strange efi menu. Looked around, and it gives me the option to install with with windows?
Anyone have any ideas. I'm waiting for radio shack to open, its the only local place that sells USB otg cables locally.

Did you get this figured out?
I can see "fast boot" enabled. Have You tried to switch it off? any other menu is displayed?
Have You tried to "power+vol down" on it?
I've tried a few ways to get into the BIOS shown... all failed.
Maybe the only way to trigger the BIOS to show is to fully wipe/format the internal storage so the BIOS can't pick up droidboot or anything else. Quite risky though if it isn't the way.
I'm in no way telling anyone to do this and I have not tried it myself. I'd be curious to hear from any advanced users if they have ever completely wiped the internal memory and what options would be available to restore if things did go wrong.

This guy seems to have stumbled on it also. I flashed the stock kk firmware and I am trying to do it but can't get Lollipop update to work. But it won't boot after it fails so I am reflashing KK again.

If you try it do let me know. I need to get into the bios to get started on a dual boot to Linux on this bad boy...
I will let you know.
I just asked for the OP to clarify a few things before I go ahead. I may try Linux first with Windows 8/10 being the final install.
So... conclusion. we have to damage firmware to boot efi...
If we could swap img file before upload to tab (during this 25 second wait) we could make windows installation possible. Am i right?

It seems it's not as clear cut as first thought. Mind you, I didn't expect it to be. I did try a HP keyboard with OTG in Android and that got picked up ok (No lights on keyboard)
I'm a bit in the same mind as Social-Design. I'd rather have a definite way to restore Android from a totally blank internal drive before I have a go. Just up to page 214 in the thread so it may be covered later.
UEFI soft brick?
Hi guys,
I accidentely tried to use the firmware on my 1050 as described in this thread. I can indeed load the UEFI BIOS with all its settings (even though most don't do anything). But unfortunately, I cannot load any OS. I always get the error "EFI Harddrive failed" - meaning it cannot boot fomr hardrive.
I have used an externally powered USB-HUB with mouse, keyboard and USB-Stick and connected to the 1050 via OTG-cable. If the stick is bootabnle with GPT x64 then it will boot from that stick. All 64bit windows versions that I tried failed to install with "ACPI_BIOS_ERROR". 32bit windows would not start, because the GPT is 32bit and the BIOS does not recognise it.
The best success I had so far was to copy a ISO from android-x86 on the usb stick. It will boot in live-mode from the USB. Not so suprisignly, mouse and keyboard are working, touch isn't. WiFI is working and the SD card is detected. I tried to install this version of android on the harddrive which works, but it installs the EFI GRUB bootloader which is not recognised by the BIOS.
I can also access the UEFI shell.
Unfortunately, I am running a bit out of ideas of what to do in order to get a normal system (or firmware) back. ADB-drivers obviously don't work (the Intel SoC driver is installed as well), so I cannot use the Phone Flash Tool.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You can get it to boot from USB? Get someone with to use tethered twrp and get a backup of the esp and fastboot partitions.
I have 2 things you can try if the goal is getting back to booting stock Android.

extract and dd this to a usb drive and see if it is able to boot it View attachment 3415895 if it successfully boots replace the fastboot.img thats on the thumbrive with one for your devices and see if it boots. if your fastboot.img is named droidboot.img rename it to fastboot.img.
If you can successfully get your devices droidboot/fastboot.img to load you can then disconnect the usb-otg cable and reconnect it to your PC and use the phone flash tools to restore your device completely.
1. Download Android Nougat 7.0 ISO file[Developed by Android x86].
2. Download Rufus win App to Create Bootable/Live USB.
3. Insert USB with Minimum 4GB and select Downloaded ISO file and finally start.
4. After Finishing, Create New/ Separate Partition in PC for Android to be Installed with Minimum of 16GB Disk Size and Format it as FAT32.
5. After formatting, Reboot PC.
6. Boot PC from USB.
7. Select Install android x86 to HDD.
8. Now In bluescreen Select the Separate Fat32 formatted Partition to Install.
9. Do not Format.( I didn't formatted and it works fine).
10. Install Boot Loader GRUB.( It will replaces default Windows Bootloader).
12. Next it shows up that your are having Windows Partition and asked to create boot item for windows. Select Yes for that else you won't be able to boot into Windows next time.
13. Next Select Skip for EFI GRUB2.(I Skipped and worked for me, I think because I'm having Legacy PC).
14. Then Select Yes to Create Read/Write enabled system directory.
15. Now To create data.img, select yes and then Enter the Size you need for System Memory in MBs (1GB-1024MB).
16. Now Accept Reboot and then Boot Android from GRUB Menu.
17. Thats all . You have Successfully installed Android 7.0 nougat in your PC HDD.
Also I Made Video Tutorial in YouTube for Better Understanding. You can Checkout if you don't understand or if any error pops.

successfully installed on Z3735F Bay Trail-T windows 10 tablet. I don't need windows 10 OS anymore, so made one partition and install Android 7. It books OK, WIFI works fine. BUT!!!!! All the physical buttons don't work. Power button doesn't work, so there is no way to turn off the system. Volume Up and Down button also doesn''t work. But touch screen works fine. How to solve this problem? any idea? My tablet is Unbranded Tablet 10.1 from Best Buy
hey,
i got it up & running on my uefi windows 10 lenovo yoga (after some struggle i also have dual-boot). my question - how do i get gapps and supersu? it's not like you could simply flash some zips, as there is no recovery
No Playstore!! Browser does not download files!!!
So after wasting 400mb of data and roughly 30 minutes of my time, I discover that there is no preinstalled PlayStore, the preinstalled browser will not download APKs and trying to install apps from the online MarketPlace only discovers devises that the email used to Sign In with is associated to, not the device this is installed on.
These things SHOULD by all ethical means be stated in the description to prevent others from wasting both their time as well as their data.
I want to see a solution to these problems Shanmukarajan. Should you decide to neglect this issue, I won't hesitate to have this post reported to the moderators.
Thank you in advance for your prompt support on the matter.

there is just one issue.
you can not create a data.img file that is larger than 4GB on a fat32 partition...
how do we fix that?
It’s installs fine but when restarts windows is just starting every time and it’s not coming up with step 12 asking me about windows partition and creating boot item
I performed the installation process about 10 times with different settings but none of them seem to install Android on my HDD. The live version works and there are no errors whatsoever, but even after installation there is never an option to boot the installed Android. Only live, debug or again option to install the OS. Does anyone know the solution?

Have you tried selecting yes to GRUB 2 during installation? It's been a little while since I went through the process, but I believe that was what I had to do to get it up and running.

Yeah I have the same issue with my Sony VAIO Duo 11. To start from power off I have to hit the special Duo Assist button, then F11 to boot from usb, then go thru the (re) install every time, so boot takes a couple of minutes, but it always bring me back to the same great working Android with all apps and setting unchanged. I don't understand, but I just happened onto it. Be sure to not format or install any grub (not really sure about grub or grub2), but yes to make it writeable. Then you get an awesomely fast Android.
I don't even want Windows on that machine, but I'm afraid to kill all the partitions and start from scratch as the Duo has some weird builtin Windows boot stuff hard wired. I'm not sure if Android could boot without the Windows partitions.
When I am creating a new partition with 16 GB of space does it mean that Android is going to use just this partition and 16 GB or is it just for the installation files and Android will see my whole HDD as the internal storage?
Could you please let me know how you got it up and running? I am on a UEFI yoga as well, but after the installation,
grub doesn't show up and my computer boots automatically into Windows
Thanks in advance

Did you change the boot sequence in bios? Select android to boot 1st, then Grub should ask you which os you want to launch. I installed grub 2. I also went with the triple boot. My laptop is an Asus x401a with windows 7. Along with ubuntu and android. x86 Nougat.
A little help here mates,
I installed it alongside a windows 7 ultimate.
Gave it an 80gb Partition (fat32)
So I'm planning a dual boot here.
Here's my Steps:
used rufus to create bootable from android-x86-8.1-r1.iso
booted to Flash drive
installed android to 80gb partition (with grub/windows boot entry/ and data image of 2048MB)
after installation, Reboot to test boot options
grub didn't show up, booted directly to win7
Did some researches, and from those researches I should disable SECURE BOOT, but bios don't have that option.
Also tried EasyUEFI Tool which didn't even work in windows 7
Also, no settings for UEFI or Legacy.
Boot Order doesn't show Windows bootmanager or grub too, only HDD....
I installed android in ASUS Eee Notebook Laptop 1201b
I think the only problem here is grub cant load, but I run out of solutions, so here I am asking for help.
every android on work fine in my tablet(z3735f) but there is a bug in every os no sound in headphone any one tell me how to fix it
I have managed to boot ubuntu successfully from usb. I have not installed just ran a live session. There was no sound, no touch and no internal wireless though a wireless usb stick worked fine.

Sorry about the crappy video! It is slow to boot, probably because of the useless usb stick. I used. Also a powered hub was a must.
I also tried booting a windows 10 winpe img. It started loading but failed with bluescreen. This also happened with a windows to go usb stick that boots fine on my other machines. Problem seems to be with bios, have tried many things but nothing seemed to help. The error was...
ACPI_BIOS_ERROR
All versions of linux that I have successfully booted have no sound, touchscreen, screen rotation.
Also the ubuntU version I used was one tweaked for cherrytrail devices by linuxium, the standard one seemed to have kernel panic. The iso can be found here......

To get linuxium to boot I deleted "quiet splash" from grub.cfg and replaced with "nomodeset".
Also found another tweaked version and this one has working wifi out of the box, also it boots a little faster. Can be found here.....

To get xjubuntab to boot I deleted "quiet splash" from grub.cfg and replaced with "i915.modeset=0"
Sound--
Looks like sound might be an issue
https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/intel-22b8-sound-chip-no-soundcard-found-on-hp-x2-210-g2/10673
Although a pair of usb headphones worked fine in both distros so I am guessing that would include usb soundcards.
To get wifi working in linuxiums distro...
Install...
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...d/9020816/+files/linux-firmware_1.156_all.deb
Download, right click and install. Then..
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe -r brcmfmac
sudo modprobe brcmfmac
Mint 18 boots with the nomodeset flag....Wifi works out of the box. Still no touch or sound.
Android x86cm boots with nomodeset flag....same as above, wifi works, no sound, touch or rotation.
Touchscreen....
From what I can gather from Android the touch screen identifies as Hideep and is working as /dev/input/event3. I could not get any response from any /dev/input/event* in linux. Not being a linux wiz I can only guess this means there is no kernel module for the touchscreen. Though I did find this on github, its android stuff don't know if its any help really....

WARNING!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR TABLET!!!
Here is some instructions to get this going.
I am going to suggest you only try this if you are not a complete novice.
Let me stress again that you try this at your own risk. Be careful in the bios as you don't want to do anything to create a nice paperweight.
Manual boot to bios,
Try this at your own risk!!!!
This is magic code from Microsoft apparently. Feel free to google it.
These commands need entering one by one from adb shell. They need to be exactly right!!!!!!!!!!!
mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
printf "\x07\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\ x00" > /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/OsIndications-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c
reboot
Tablet should boot to bios but you might need to manuall turn it back on, you can navigate the bios with the buttons. POWER=enter, vol+/- =navigate menus and long press vol+=Esc.
If you have TWRP recovery installed; after using the commands from adb once the reboot to bios option in the TWRP reboot menu should work, so next time you want to boot from bios just reboot from twrp.
To get keyboard and usb boot support, in bios
Device manager......
System setup........
android.......
Uefi secure BOOT=disable.
South cluster configuration.......
Usb configuration.....
default drd CONFIG=hostmode
Usb VBUS=on.
that's it save changes and exit. Next time you boot to bios you can use keyboard connected via otg to use bios. You can also select next boot device in bios boot manager.
If you want to be able to interupt boot process to select boot device also disable fast boot under boot category in bios . This will mean you get a black screen with progress bar on power on but allows use f7 to select boot device.
After booting another os from usb it often takes 3 boots to get back to android, don't panic.
Oh and lastly a powered usb hub is needed needed if you want to use mouse and keyboard in linux etc.

I used a version that was already modified by linuxium, he has added alot of stuff to get it working on intel compute sticks.
I also had to add a "nomodeset" flag to get it to boot.

So would it work on the 2gb tab 3?

I don't see why not. I should warn you that changes have to be made in the bios to allow usb booting. I never managed this on my 2GB version but the bios does look the same.

Can you post the link to the place that you found the iso?
