Upgrade to webOS 3.0.5 on HP Touchpad

Palm has released the new webOS 3.0.5 OS update. This video demonstrates how to update to this version using the new webOS Doctor 3.0.5 which can be downloaded here:

Also, if you have Android installed as well, this process will probably break the moboot menu and it will no longer load for you. If that is the case, you can follow my other video that will show you how to reinstall the moboot menu. (COMING SOON!) Some folks who have done this update have said that their moboot did NOT break and continued to work. I believe that this was due to them being on moboot 0.3.5, whereas some of us are still on 0.3.3.

webOS 3.0.5 Changelog:

-The HP webOS 3.0.5 update enhances core apps like Email and Calendar, improves the video calling experience, and fixes additional bugs.
-Faster switching between Day, Week, and Month views, and faster event display in Calendar.
-Faster scrolling when reading an email message.
-Email attachments are now saved with draft messages.
-Added sender photos and IM presence indicators in Email.
-Improved stability when watching video in the Web app.
-Improved handling of MP3s that are transferred from a computer using USB Drive mode.
-Added a dedicated view of contacts available for a video call, for quicker setup of a video call.
-New alert when video quality might be lower because of network issues.
-When typing, pressing the space bar twice inserts a period.
This can be toggled on and off.
-Auto-correction can be turned off directly from the onscreen keyboard.
-Added support for HTTP Live Streaming.

Oups, just finishing watching the video... It worked with the "on the air" method for one of the 2 devices (without scrapping the MoBoot and CM7). I needed to use the WebOS Doctor in order to successfully upgrade the second device. The WebOS does scrap the MoBoot thought.

I have 2 Touchpads. It didn't broke my CM7 and MoBoot on any devices but the upgrade failed on one of the two... I have no idea why and I can't fix this even by deleteting all caches and data partitions...???

@ReverendKJR Hey just for information purposes.. I have the touchpad with CM7 installed. I got the notification for the 3.0.5 update, which I've been ignoring the last few weeks. But earlier it just started installing on its own. I was nervous it would break moboot. But after the install, Ive switched back and forth between CM7 and webos several times so far with Moboot intact, 3.0.5 update is there an I'm not running into any issues. So I guess its case by case situation.Thanks for helping us

When can we expect to see the re-install of moboot after the 3.0.5 update?

@reverendkjr Thanks a lot man.

Just a question do u have any problem with the audio in cynogenmod. In my touchpad(running cynogenmod) as soon as the display is switched off the music playing on the music player or the online radio becomes distorted.

Again thanks a lot for your videos . u r indeed a minister for my touchpad.

I just upgraded to 3.0.5, installed Preware per your video (did great), installed Cyboot per your video (seemed to be just fine), rebooted, didn't get any options like your video did. Do I need to install Android OS too? Think I'm missing a step. Great videos btw!

Thank you so much for the prompt tutorial, especially your recommendation to upgrade my moboot.

It's like you still have a cold. Make sure you drink warm water and take lots of vitamins. It helps to momentarily boost your immune system. You'll be fine in a few days. Love the vids.
