WebOS 3.05 is here (yawn)

[colchiro]

I see there's reports that it installed ok, that it bootlooped and that it broke moboot. (Take your pick.)

Even tho I don't use webOS, I might be bored enough to install it anyway...

webOS 3.0.5 released - RootzWiki

webOS 3.0.5 Update is now available for Download - xda-developers

After update, it looped on the hp logo. Did a doctor to 3.0.5. Fortunately it took only 17 minutes to do that.

It hosed my moboot. Reflashing moboot did not help. I reflashed cwm and at least it got me to recovery. Fortunately, I did a backup of CM7 before I did the webOS update.

I did a restore and the boot option for CM7 came back and I was able to boot into CM7. Whew.

So, in summary here is what happened and what I did to fix it:

booted into moboot and did a backup of Android.
booted webOS 3.0.4
updated to 3.0.5
rebooted and it looped on the hp logo <--- this is where it broke.
Doctored to 3.0.5
booted into webOS 3.0.5 and let it restore all my apps
copied moboot and cwm to cminstall directory in the SD (USB) under webOS
did novacom/acmeinstaller
Did a restore from moboot
All is good.

Glad you got it figured out.

I 'looped and had to DR when 3.04 came out.

I left out the 4th option.... failed install message after rebooting. Got that twice. Still on 3.04

I'm not bored any more.

I think I'm through updating webOS. I haven't even used it in about 2 weeks. No point in going through the hassle.

Same here. Its a stable little OS with almost no 3rd party apps.

What's "WebOS"?

 

[colchiro]

You're not up-to-date with your Greek mythology, are you.

Oh... was that the ancient god of slowness & failure?

You're thinking of Dos... webOs is his second cousin.

I'm done updating webOS.

3.0.4 came out and bootlooped when I updated. Had to doctor back to stock.

3.0.5 came out and update failed until I removed TWRP (4 megs) from my /boot partition, then it bootlooped. Doctoring again since I need webOS to update CM9 files.

Why do you need WebOS to update your CM9 files?

 

[colchiro]

Usb mode doesn't work in CM9.

Thats how I copied over CM Alpha .60

My guess is that you used media device mode... not USB mode.

The only option I saw was usb debugging, which we know won't let me transfer files. I remembered reading something about usb broken so didn't pursue it.
