[Q] Need HELP PLEASE (TouchPad Cyanogen 9 Alpha 0.6)...

---

Okay I am having some problems. I upgraded from the Cyanogen 7 Alpha 3.5 to the new Cyanogen 9 0.6 using the lilputing (spell?) instructions to the letter. Everything upgraded and installed just fine but when it booted up I got a picture asking for pin code/pass code with a numbered keypad.

I don't have a pass code or pin on my TouchPad. What am I supposed to enter here??? Please someone HELP ME so I can have my TouchPad back! Thanks and hope someone can help me SOON! I don't want to wipe the data as I don't want to loose all my apps and games I put on there when I had 7. Is there anything else I can do??? I am anxious to try Cyanogen 9 after hearing so many GOOD things about it! THANKS DEVELOPERS!

sorry but dont think its possible to go from cm7 to cm9 and keep your apps and data.
some wont work on ICS anyway.

Actually according to RootzWiki here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15509-rel...od-9-touchpad/ it states you can do it. My Mother was able to upgrade from 7 (Alpha 3.5) to 9 (Alpha 0.6) without any problems. I just can't figure why it would work on one TouchPad but not another.

There is. When i upgraded mine, i did not lose my apps and data. What i did is I ran the novacom acmeuninstaller2 script in dos prompt and made sure i have the zip file inside the cminstall folder in my tp.

It states you can try it and results may vary.

I was able to jump from CM7 to CM9 via an upgrade. However, you might want to invest in Titanium Backup to be able to easily do a complete wipe and easy restore. It is a great product for "ROM jumpers"

I was also able to make the jump, but it made me reinstall almost all of my apps before they would work again anyway. Thankfully I was able to use Amazon for them, as the Market forgot what free apps I had...

I use Astro app backup for my touchpad. It doesn't back up data, but I like it that way, fresh install.

You could try reinstalling CM7, and see if it will boot, then back up your apps, wipe and install CM9. I use Titanium Backup on my phone, but on the TP it was spotty which ROMs would let it open. Because Astro doesn't need root it always works.

Has anyone tried ROM Toolbox to see if it was any more compatible than Titanium Backup is. I would personally recommend a clean install to make sure no bugs are caused by leftover applications. To each his own though.

They say on rootzwiki that if you use the acmeinstaller2 you shouldn't have any problems upgrading
