I was able to make 1 step forward, or should I say sideways :) using the bootloader.bin file from post #180 of this thread. When indeed screen came to life flashing briefly message about : "Entering NVflash recovery mode xxxx" . Split second message after which computer reports :

downloading bootloader -- load address: 0x108000 entry point: 0x108000

download command failed NvError 0x120002

command failure: bootloader download failed (bad data)

bootloader status: Bct file not found (code: 21) message: flags: 1073844220

Connecting using USB Hub or no Hub gives the same result.

I would guess that since initial communication is made it should not present any difference.

@ CDZO72 thanks for heads up, did you receive the same error as I did when making your initial attempts to flash ?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Yeah I got that one two consecutive times when I started out, then it was something else a couple of other times... Did you download your files anew?
[Dell Streak 7] AndroidOVERALL:
I haven't forgotten you. I am working hard to try and figure out a way to get this done. Couple of questions(You may have answered already but I need to ask again):

Are you able to get into recovery on your DS7?

Do you have the stock recovery image or do you have the CWM recovery image?

Are you able to transfer files to an external SDCARD to put into the DS7?

Can you get into fastboot mode?

Did you or do you plan to use the t-mobile data plan services?
[Dell Streak 7] jonpim:
To charge a tablet, I have disassembled it and have disconnected the battery which has charged the laboratory power unit. Probably t-mobile has put on a flash-disk 16Gb (SanDisk) protection against rewriting, but in our tablets it was damaged bootloader. How to remove this protection it is necessary to ask at t-mobile

Here datasheet for a disk

If the nobility how to connect JTAG, but the software is still necessary.
[Dell Streak 7] Mark Greenfield:
Project Unbrick continues.

I'll try to keep this thread clean so I'll keep it short, longer description of my situation is few posts behind.

1. and 4. No . No recovery, no fastbood. Screen remains black, no matter what key combination is used. Just the white buttons light up slightly when plugged in. (which makes me wonder if this DS7 simply does not know how to charge battery, as per few other users this problem was a result of a lack of charge/improper charger or leaving charging over night only to find unit non responsive without ability to charge). I've tried to leave it without charge for longer period of time (days), used docking station which has separate charge port while attempting to unbrick. Nothing seems to make a difference.

The only reaction on DS7 display was a brief message display which I've described in post #201 .

2. I'm using recovery images from this thread post #1. And yes I have redownloaded them to eliminate corrupt image possibility.

3. Yes I can put any file onto SDcard with my external SDwriter (not via DS7)

5. Optimally I would like the possibility of running tablet normally with all its functionality. At this point I will settle for anything however.

So no matter how crazy you solution will seem, I will try it. :)

No takers ? Is this thread Dead ? I can not believe I am the only one with this problem ? I know few people here resorted to sending their units do Dell because of it, and eBay seems to have few of those bricked units for sale every week. As I said I'm pretty much ready to try anything. Little help guys ??

Trouble with restored 2.2.2

Hi, people. I've a trouble with restoring my DS7. I was restore my DS7 to Android 2.2.2 with this guide and have a problem with internal storage. The OS doesn't see the internal storage (shows "unknown" in SD settings) in top of screen shows that SD card blank or has unsupported file system. From 16Gb it initilised only 1.86Gb available disk space in device. I can't install new custom ROM by DJ_Steeve with Nvflash (Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait.. FAILED!

e: nverror:0x2 (0x2) flags: 0). I try to restore factory settings, but it doesn't help. And reinstaaling v.2.2.2 didn't help. Please help me.

P.S. The mount and formating internal storage don't work.

P.P.S Sorry for my English, I'm from Armenia =)
[Dell Streak 7] cootertwo:
Weird!

OK, just sent my streak off to dell, today. They finally sent me a return box, to the right address, this time. However, on one of my final attempts at restoring my unit, I discovered something strange. When I hook the streak to my computer w/usb cord, the streak will notify you that it's connected, and you can click (touch) to either activate (connect) the internal, OR external drive. Well, my streak has it backwards? If I connect to the internal, it connects to the external SD card! If I connect to the external drive, it connects to the internal memory space, and will show almost 2 gig of space. I was even able to highlight the drives on the computer and under properties, was able to mark the drives as shared, and to allow outside connections to change the files. That means read and write, right? However, as usual, on restart, everything is lost. I almost wish I still had it, to try to figure this problem out, but with dell being dell, I figured I'd better send it off. Just concerned about the one's that were sent off, returned working, only to have the same exact problem a few weeks/days later. Some body's got to come up with a solution. You'd think any reputabal company would have already come out with a downloadable fix, but no, not dell from hell.:mad::eek::(:cool:
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
From what I have been told this is not a software or firmware fixable solution, this has to do with the NAND internal memory on the board where the ROM is located. I have sent in going on six now... the third one being my own. None of them has given problems since returned because supposedly they were taken apart, the boards replaced and then sent back. Fortunately for me, I got a brand new one that didn't even have the Tmobile logo, and was sent back to me with retail software, but I did have to go through the pains of unlocking it again (that's what tipped me off to them not having lied to me about changing the board)
[Dell Streak 7] cootertwo:
VERY interesting, thanks for the reply. I'll keep my fingers crossed.;)
[Dell Streak 7] onilink67:
I'm having the same exact issue as well just had this device dropped in my lap as-is.

1. No

2. Stock Recovery

3. Yes

4. No

5. No

I also have access to a full electronics lab with a RIFF JTAG box (sadly no support for the streak 7) if any hardware testing is needed.

edit : After doing a ton of research on this for all Tegra 2 devices found a tread for another tablet having similar issues. Seems he was using the incorrect bootloader. Is it possible that our streaks have a few different bootloaders that may be decided by manufacture date?

[Dell Streak 7] onilink67:
Are you using the bootloader that was in the NVflash folder from the OP? I get that issue if I use the wrong bootloader sometimes.
[Dell Streak 7] TDan1:
Hello, I am having the same, or similar, problem as Wins7.

I have a Dell Streak 7 T-Mobile that will not get out of APX. I have no idea what APX is exactly (other than black screen, soft button lights and showing up in Device Manager as Nvidia USB boot-recovery blah blah) or any of this other stuff, but I did follow the instructions in the OP to the letter.

This ends up with me seeing the same things that Wins7 posted pictures of, but occasionally, if I catch it fast enough, it mentions something failing. I do not know how to review the information it blinks at me, otherwise I would post exactly what message I am receiving.

I'm a total noob, I am sorry.

You say it may be the bootloader, yes? I am using the one from the NVFlash file in the OP.

How would I obtain a different bootloader to try?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
To get out of APX mode you just push the reset button... instead of flashing Honeycomb with NVFlash you can flash the Honeycomb stock recovery and use the update.pkg to flash is the best way...

If you are trying to get back to Froyo and you get errors using NvFlash then you have a corrupt download, incorrect drivers installed or there's something wrong with your Streak
[Dell Streak 7] euklid:
Question, does this work on T-mobile version with 3g of Dell Streak 7? I know plenty of flashing android phones but never have done a tablet, my friend tried to flash some rom, not sure if he has cwm or anything and now his dell streak gets stuck at samsung logo, if I follow the steps in OP, will it restore to factory specs? he doesn't care about losing data, just wants it to work. please help me, I see a lot of guides, but not sure which applies to the t-mobile 3g version, just want to do a restore to stock.
[Dell Streak 7] TDan1:
When I say that it is stuck in APX, I mean it won't leave it no matter what I try. I've pressed the reset button...many times. I probably should've mentioned that in my post, I am sorry.

I don't care if it's Froyo or Honeycomb, I just want to use my Streak.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Are you sure you're using the correct hole, lots of people don't stick the pin in the correct hole. That's not really a reset in there, it's a shutoff switch, if it doesn't shut off I'd have to say you have a hardware issue then.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

Yes it does, that's what mine is and this is what I use to use. A Samsung logo, what the heck did y'all try to flash to it?

Anyway, the best way is to flash the stock recovery.img for Froyo for your particular Streak, and then load the factory update.pkg for the ROM you want to use, whether it be Froyo or HOneycomb onto the external sd card. Once you get booted, then you can flash recovery and root permissions depending on the ROM you installed, it's all here in the forums, just look around for it
[Dell Streak 7] euklid:
sorry I mean to say Dell logo, not Samsung. So the images in the OP are for Froyo?? I first have to do this, then update to Honeycomb?, where do I get that image file? my friend just wants the stock honeycomb rom..sorry for being such a newbie for this tablet! if you point me in the right thread, I can figure it out. lol
[Dell Streak 7] TDan1:
The hole next to the SD slot on the side of the device, yes? I press it, it turns off then on again right after, but always into APX. Black screen, soft button lights on, shows up on computer as the Nvidia USB Boot etc.

Not sure what other hole there may be. If I'm pressing the incorrect button, please let me know.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Yes, this particular thread is to restore the Streak to Froyo. You don't have to go back to Froyo original flash, you can go straight to Honeycomb but you have to flash the correct recovery.img, if not then you get a FOTA error, which means it will sense you have a US Streak 4G Streak, which there is no update for, but the recovery you will flash will take care of that.

Dell Streak 7 Wiki

In that link is the recovery image you will need and the Honeycomb update. Then you also need to look for the ClockworkMod v4.0.1.9 for the Streak Honeycomb and also the Superuser7.zip to get root
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
The stock recoveries for the s7 work differently then on the s5.

50x includes a new bootloader,

50x recoveries will not boot on 3xx bootloaders

3xx recoveries will not boot on 50x bootloaders

CWM 3.0 is based on a 3xx recovery

CWM 4.0 is based on a 50x recovery

If you need a stock-like recovery, the HC update contains recoveries that will install 50x pkgs if you're updating from 3xx

If you are already on 50x then you can use the 50x recoveries to reinstall.

The stock-like recoveries arnt listed on the wiki because they're exactly that, stock-like and not unmodified.

The wiki only contains unmodified files
[Dell Streak 7] TDan1:
Can any of that in the Wiki or additional information provided by TheManii help me?
[Dell Streak 7] euklid:
alright but the recovery image is flashed not using nvflash right?

Confused!!!?!

I followed the instruction to the T, but still cannot get this thing to work. I used the 'Android Bootloader Interface'

I am on a windows 7 32-bit mode os with Fastboot installed, driver 'Android Bootloader Interface' installed from the latest android google usb driver. Tried the one in the following link as well: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11929063&postcount=23

I ran the nvflash procedure successfully, tried the 1st restore (user data), stuck on dell screen, tried the other factory restore, still the same issue.

I then go to fastboot mode, the dell streak 7 screen stays on "starting fastboot usb download protocol". The pc detects it fine and can write fastboot flash etc with a success on pc screen.. After I finish the command, the dell streak 7 screen goes from that text to "Flashing StorMgr partition recovery" and does NOTHING else on the screen. Is that suppose to happen? Did it even flash?? It seems like NOTHING writes in fastboot everytime I flash all files after doing the NVFLash method successfully..

Please help!! =(
[Dell Streak 7] gsmtmofan:
Thanks OP. Worked for me flashing back from honeystreak. I did have to do a factory reset in the recovery menu because it was stuck on the Dell logo. The factory reset allows it to boot now and show the factory rom, but I have run into a problem with the storage. System says that it cannot mount both the internal storage and the external/sd. Is there something wrong with the partitions or should I install a different rom to fix this? I would prefer to stay back on my factory rom, but I''' do what I have to to make this work. The apps wont work for me as of right now.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Dell Streak 7] gsmtmofan:
Nevermind, I reformatted the internal storage and then it was able to be mounted. Once the internal storage was mounted it noticed my sd card. Thanks again op. This worked perfectly.

After NVFlash, you need to do a factory reset (Volume UP + Power). Then you should be able to get past the Dell logo and boot normally.

[Dell Streak 7] jxs714:
That never worked, tried it so many times. Once I did a custom kernal boot to clockwork recovery and formatted the internal SD, I seem to have found the problem. It seems that the internal memory on the DS7 is corrupted. I mounted the internal sd drive, formatted it many times on pc, each time i format the internal, it works, then when i remount it the files were never deleted and the old files that were in place before deletion are still there! I couldn't mount the data partition, as well as other partitions, and couldn't copy files to the internal correctly. I even checked the drive for errors in windows but no errors appeared. Tried even formatting it with an sd card formatter software. The sd card formatter only worked temporarily until remount. After remounting the drive, yet again files that were deleted when formatted reappeared! =(

I have come to the conclusion that the internal memory is corrupted. This SUCKS!! Does anyone know where I can buy a memory chip to resolder onto the board or where I can buy parts to replace either this motherboard or desolder the bad memory and solder a replacement chip?? Please help! Thanks
