It's one of those things with this forum, lots of great people, lots of great info but when we hit these technical things, people tend to forget that some don't have a clue about a lot of these things that they mention in passing, they don't provide any links to where to get the correct tools, or simply makes you have to jump through hoops to get them. I went with making this guide as simple as possible so that anyone, even with no computer skills can do it on their Windows machines. there's a lot of Linux talk and since I'm not a Linux user, I have no clue to such comments. Many assume others to know what they are talking about and it's really not the case. While the Activation Bypass for Touchpad thread is helpful and informative, the steps required were much too complex, and I'm a technical person, so I can imagine a non-tech person. Is it something that should be 'stickied' for future noobs? Is that done here?Honestly, I think it should be, maybe after feedback from someone that would follow to see if I missed anything. I have tried that as well and it didn't do anything.

It sounded like he removed the novacom driver and reintalled it and then got it to work.

The only thing I found was someone had an HP phone and tried using webos doctor and it hung at 0%. Been scouring forums looking for an identical problem but can't seem to find anything. The touchpad has been plugged into the provided touchpad charger. However, the program sits at 0% and says battery charging. The PC recognizes the touchpad since it allows me to click the button on the program to start the process. The touchpad goes into recovery mode properly and then I started up webos doctor.

I then rebooted and went to webos recovery. I cleared data and created the webos volumes. I used the toolbox and followed the guide.

What did you use to clear data and create webos volumes? If you once deleted WebOS entirely you need to restore WebOS volumes with jcsullin's Toolbox, then webOS doctor should work.Thanks for the reply.
