Topaz WiFi Only -- Not for 4G or Go!

This is a preview release of webOS Community Edition 3.1.0, for use on secondary devices only. We're not ready for general availability, and the only way to install is as a Doctor/Factory Reset.

What's baked in:

  • Community first-use/OOBE with webOS Account sign-in (or skip it — a local profile is created), in-image TLS 1.2/1.3
    for browser, mail, App Catalog, and downloads, plus a current root-certificate store
  • App Catalog, Maps 4.0.1, community Accounts, Help (repointed to webosarchive.org), Preware, Govnah, USB Settings, and
    Bluetooth gamepad support — installed and working on first boot
  • UberKernel 3.0.5-93 (1.512GHz, screen-off battery cap), LunaCE launcher
  • Advanced reset options in the power menu, auto-matched to your setup language (EN/DE/ES/FR/IT)
  • HP bloatware (Kindle/Facebook/YouTube) removed; fresh wallpapers and ringtones

Install: put the TouchPad in recovery mode (hold Volume-Up while powering on, USB connected), then java -jar
webosdoctorp305hstnh-3.1CE.jar. Flash takes ~10–15 min.

Notes:

  • Wi-Fi TouchPad only — do not flash 4G or Go models
  • Your files on /media/internal and installed apps survive; apps CE now ships (Maps, Catalog, Preware, USB Settings)
    are replaced with the built-in versions
  • No rollback on device — recovery from anything is simply re-running this, or a previous, Doctor
  • This is a different OS version, many patches and some apps that check for version 3.0.5 or version 3.0.x will refuse to install
