I am on this ROM and want to try out 4.4.2 cm11 by jcsullins. What do I have to do? Just a point in the right direction would be cool. Thanks in advance haven't messed with the touchpad and flashing ROMs for awhile.

Well, I tried updating to the latest version of this ROM when GooManager notified me that there was an update available. My touchpad is stuck in a bootloop and I have no idea how to get into recovery to try to fix this. I'm really frustrated.
There hasn't been an update to this ROM, goo manager gives a false reading because a newer version of a different ROM is available, just press and hold the power and home buttons until the Touchpad reboots then go back into CWM or TWRP and restore the back up that you made before updating.
That's the problem. I can't get into recovery. When I turn the tablet on it starts the boot animation, goes to an aqua CM logo, then goes to a purple CM logo that has 2 other little purple CM logos. It won't go past that screen. It stays there for a while and then reboots.
If I could get into recovery, I could restore my backup. I'm reading threads but there is a ton of information (new and old).

Try holding the Home button down when you reboot. That should force moboot to give you a boot menu.
I just tried that again and if I hold down the Home button I get a message "Please release keys.." I've tried holding down the power button with the volume down button and home as well.
I don't want to think it but I am afraid I may be screwed. I took some video of the boot loop that I'll share as soon as I can get it somewhere to share. I had to take video because the only text that flashes during the boot process is only up for a fraction of a second so I couldn't read it.
So I guess when you released the Home button when asked, it didn't give a menu? If that's the case, you have the very first version
of moboot installed (released in or before Nov, 2011) which doesn't support the "forced-menu."
So you could hold the VolumeUp key (next to power) while booting to get the big USB symbol. Then follow the steps from this

Oh man... you are correct about moboot. I have the first version installed. I think you might have saved my bacon. I got the big USB symbol up now and I am looking at the link you posted. This seems promising!

Ok, I'm following the post. I've gone to the OP listed in the instructions. In the OP, I see 3 recovery downloads. 2 CWM and 1 TWRP. I had TWRP on my touchpad when it was working, however, you said to use the appropriate CWM. Which is the appropriate recovery file to use? I'm sorry if I am missing something obvious.
Hmm, don't know how you have managed that one, when you reboot it should show the HP logo then go to the moboot screen before trying to load CyanogenMod, the only way that i can think of is to use JcSullins TPToolbox to reflash CWM or TWRP, follow the instructions on his thread here but just choose to install android and only place CWM or TWRP in to the ttinstall folder when asked, not sure if that will work but its worth a try,

Before you replied, I gave it a shot using TWRP. I got into recovery and was able to restore my backup. I'm back where I was before. I'm looking at your toolbox stuff now. I'll read through that and use that for any updates now.
Thanks to you and BigSimon for your help!
I'm glad that you managed to get sorted out, well done.
The TPToolbox is probably one of the best things to happen to the Touchpad in recent times, it makes installing Android so easy whether it's a standard CM10 or a CM11 datamedia build, also we have the added bonus of removing WebOS completely, just read through @jcsullins thread and give it a go.
