Well the NVFlash method is supposed to do that for you... are you sure you are not confusing NVFlash with Fastboot...

NVFlash... make sure Streak is shut off, press ONLY the Volume buttons (that means press the Vol Up and Vol Down simultaneously, while keeping them pressed you connect the usb cable from the computer to the Streak, then you can release the buttons.

You should hear the system give a notification that it recognized the Streak, if not then install the APX drivers

Fastboot is pressing the Volume Down button simultaneously with the power button

Recovery is pressing the Volume Up button with the power button

Thanks for replay I do everything im this forum but i don't find a solution waaaaaa
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
djlupus, if I'm not mistaken your problem is the Read Only bug, for which there is no fix, the only thing you can do is send it to DELL for servicing

nvflash and streak 7

Can these files be flashed on a wifi only streak 7? I have read the other threads that detail how to restore the wifi streak 7 to stock, but the image files linked on those threads were being hosted on megaupload, so now they're gone...
[Dell Streak 7] shrekdaklown:
thankfully i dont need these yet but i am bookmarking them incase i do ty very much for all your work in compiling these
[Dell Streak 7] Verrigan:
4shared doesn't seem to have these files anymore..

Anyone got a updated link? I had them on another laptop, but it belongs to work, and I quit my job...

I can provide a free FTP location if necessary.

Thanks in advance!
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I've got the files but dunno how to go about getting them to you... some type of torrent share maybe? do you use uTorrent?
[Dell Streak 7] Verrigan:
It's ok. The zip with 2-22 downloaded fine.

Thanks for the offer! :)
[Dell Streak 7] itsakram:
If someone could help me with this. So I have a T-Mobile Dell Streak 7 and I have gotten nvflash to install p2-p14. It got stuck on the Dell logo screen, so I did what others have said works which is to go to recovery and do a factory reset. I did that, thinking that it will get me back to a working streak, but it still gets stuck at the dell logo screen. Any other options at this point?

I know some said to go into fastboot and push the system, recovery, and boot image. Should I do that?

Not working

Hey, I have a Dell Streak 7 that I don't know much about. I bought it off Ebay for super cheap because it was in a state of software disrepair.

The previous owner claimed it stopped working after trying to install Honeycomb. It is the Dell 4G version (unbranded, no Tmobile on the back), with a SIM card slot of course. The previous owner claimed he did not try to root / hack / play at all with it, just that it stopped being able to boot after he downloaded the upgrade.

When you press the power button, it loads to the DELL logo, and stays there. The buttons light up, and when plugged in it does charge. I have an SD card in it, and the emergency pinhole turn-off works.

I can boot it into both recovery and fastboot. I cannot "install update.pkg from SD card": I always get a message saying "FOTA mismatch, installation aborted".

In fastboot, I can "fastboot devices" and the device is recognized. I have attempted to install both stock and custom recoveries: in the command window it says it has gone through, but there is never any change when I boot it back up to recovery. Trying to flash other files, boot images, or images from fastboot LOOKS like it's worked in my command window, but there is never any change in the device. :mad:

I installed the nv flash drivers in the OP and have the device recognized by my computer in NV flash mode. I followed all directions PERFECTLY several times, the script will run and say all .img files have been installed, the window automatically closes, but when I turn the device on again, STILL it only boots to the Dell logo!!! :confused:

I'm at my wits end. This is the only helpful forum I have found, and I hate to bump a year old threat but I'm desperate here. I'm also completely open to being pm-ed if you think you could help.

Thanks in advance.

After flashing have you tried to boot into recovery and doing a factory reset... I know it shouldn't need it after NV flash but it could help

SGS II I9100 from TapaTalk
[Dell Streak 7] yankeeornovember:
Just tried that, along with another restore via nv flash. Not even a little bit of luck :(

Just a little bit more info in case it's needed... When in fastboot mode, my DS7 says

username: cmbuild hostname: QTHBuildPC-17 buildnumber: 15420

build on Mar 11 2011 17:19:36

Starting Fastboot USB download protocol

When I type out "fastboot devices" in command, I get

? fastboot

C:\Users\MYNAME

When I use "fastboot flash recovery [path to cwm recovery I downloaded off the wiki]", the command window says

sending 'recovery' <4388 KB>...

OKAY [ 0.484s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.121s]

finished. total time: 0.606s

and on the device, it says "Flashing StorMgr Partition recovery", but when I turn it back off using the pinhole and boot it into recovery via volume up + power button, it's still the same stock recovery. This is when I try version 5.0.2.6 and when I try 3.0.1.9.

More importantly when I "fastboot erase recovery", the device responds by saying something like "erasing StorMgr SOS", but when I turn it off and boot back into recovery again, there is STILL the stock recovery. Is there something wrong with the way I'm fastbooting?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
The Streak isn't like other Android devices, you will always see the stock recovery first. TO get into Clockwork MOd you have to choose the second option which is the one to update from sd card, then it will go into custom recovery
[Dell Streak 7] yankeeornovember:
A few questions / comments:

1. You can flash a custom recovery through the "update from SD card" option in the recovery menu? I've tried flashing stock ROMs like I said, and always gotten the "FOTA mismatch"

2. Why doesn't fastboot "fastboot flash recovery <path to CWM recovery>" have any effect?

3. Why does it only say "? fastboot" when I type "fastboot devices" in cmd? Is there a way to fix that?

:confused:
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
1)Recoveries can only be flashed through fastboot. If you are getting a FOTA mismatch it's because you don't have the correct recovery for the update.pkg you have on the SD card

2)you're computer is not recognizing the Streak as a fastboot device. You either haven't setup your paths correctly or you haven't gone to the correct folder in your command window.

3) refer to 2, your fastboot isn't set up correctly or you are still having driver issues.

If you haven't installed the androidsdk and the google usb drivers then now would be the time

hi everyone,

I having a Streak 10 Pro, I understand this model only selling in China and I cannot find Streak 10 Pro forum here, much appreciate if there is anyone here can help.

I trying to root my tablet:

1. I managed to install APX driver, I can get "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices".

2. there is some root tool post from somewhere I try but failed. and now tablet stuck in Dell startup screen and won't load boot animation or boot in OS anymore.

I try fastboot, but stuck at "waiting for device" I have no idea how to use nvflash. no recovery mode.

please help me, what should I do?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Fastboot in the S10 is pretty much turned off as I dont believe you can enter it without a working install (unless someone ones to correct me)

You can install chimeradroid r2 manually and get it booting, I dont have any recommendations on how to return to stock if you didnt make a backup beforehand.
[Dell Streak 7] djlah:
thanks, I will try chimeradroid r2;

else I need to know too how to restore original *.pkg file (I already have it) in APX mode without SD Card. please guide me, thanks in advanced.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You must have an older recovery to install it, as I dont believe you can reinstall on top of itself anymore.

You also can only use pkgs though recovery mode.

I cant offer much help in this until I/someone ports CWM to the S10. It's a very low priority for me though as I simply dont need it for the moment.
[Dell Streak 7] djlah:

I just try ChimeraDroid r2. I got these errors:

[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You might have to type it out manually, NVflash has issues if you do it immediately like with the included install rom.cmd
[Dell Streak 7] djlah:
thanks TheManii, you resolved my problem :)

disappointed on nvflash, it's really failed to take the continuous commands immediately.

Dell Streak 7 stuck on tmobile bootloop

hello all

I have acquired a dell streak7 experiencing bootup but stops at the tmobilbe logo and reboots. i have tried the nvflash method and it flashed the p2-p14 files. now you also supplied the original system files. as i am not very experience with what is next in the procedure. i did fastboot flash recovery.img and also loaded the 15420 pkg thru the sd card. but still stuck on bootloop.

guess my question would be how do i flash the boot,system,animation files? is it the same way as flashing the recovery file? Help
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
NVFlash flashes everything that you need to get up and running. IF after NVFlash it won't boot then boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

I would recommend that you NVFlash BACK to stock Froyo so that you have something to work with and stay there for a bit until you get the hang of some of the other stuff, if not you'll be right back here whining about boot loops and passwords because you didn't read ENOUGH
[Dell Streak 7] xda751:
Dell Streak 7 stuck on tmobile bootloop

hello sir

as i am not aware of what the problem was with this dell streak and actually am not aware what version the nvflash files(p2-p14) flash into device, or what version package 15420 is (froyo,gingerbread) i am asking for assistance and my question was how do i flash the original files to the dell after i use the nvflash files supplied.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Let me say this AGAIN since you didn't read the first time, NVFLash puts everything on the phone needed to boot and run! If it won't boot, something didn't go quite right. NO need to flash ANYTHING else after NVFLash... If it won't boot, boot into recovery and do a factory reset, if it still won't boot, well then you can NVFlash again or you flash a factory recovery and flash a factory update package

tmobile streak 7 still stuck on logo

ok people this is what i have... A dell Streak 7 Tablet it powers on, goes pasted the dell logo, then continues to the t-mobile banner and it stops.. right after it recycles it self like three time.. and the it finally stops.. I have used nvflash and flashed p2 - p14 -I have done a factory default reset but no luck. I have also flashed the 3 original files(system,recovery, and boot files) i haved tryed to do the restoration via adb, fastboot, and apx i have access to then all and able to use them all.. with no success.. i always get the same results.. mr CDZO72 I have read ur tutorial over and over but I have had no luck. I did not post so that u may belittle me with ur comments. I posted because I got this ds7 already with this problem and was hoping the community(forum) could help without the comments.

QUOTE=illdill;12590019]***Moderators, please delete previous relative threads at your discretion***

***Update*** Img 14 is now available. It is not required for a successful restore, But if you are having trouble without it, why not give it a try if you can wait for 560 megs to download.

Restoring the Streak 7 using NVFlash

(Windows Only Instructions) If you’re a Linux user, you should be able to 'translate' this yourself.

This is for those who cannot use fastboot or adb. If you can successfully use these tools, DO NOT use NVFlash. You will lose all your data on your device. Do not proceed with these instructions if you are not expecting to lose all personal data on the device.

Step 1) APX Drivers – To work in NVFlash mode you need to install the drivers for the nvidia boot-recovery device. Power off your device and disconnect it from the computer. Hold down the Volume up & down buttons while plugging in the USB cable. (Or leave the USB cable attached and hold the pinhole ‘power off’, hold down the volume Up & Down and release the pinhole ‘power off’.) (The volume button seems like a rocker switch, but you can hold down both sides at once)

Your computer should now recognize the Streak 7 as an APX device. Manually install it using the nvidia boot-recovery drivers.

NVFlash

Step 2) Install NVFlash. For ease of function simply create a folder on your C:\ drive called ‘nvflash’. Download the nvflash zip and extract it to the nvflash folder.

Step 3) Download the 13 img files that make up the original partitions of the device. Files p2.img through p14.img. Put these files in the C:\nvflash folder.

Step 4) Launch (double-click) the Restore.bat file from the C:\nvflash folder. This batch command will begin copying the partitions to the device. Wait patiently as your device is being restored.

Step 5) Once all of the partitions have been written, use the pinhole ‘power off’ button next to the SD card to power off the device. Now power it back on normally to enjoy your restored Streak 7.

If you have trouble with any of the links or corrupted files, please pm me or reply to this thread.

That's all I can do folks. Ran out of free space on my free storage site. :(

*** Update *** If you are still stuck at boot logo, check to see if you can get into fastboot mode, if so,

finish restoring with the fastboot method.

************* Also, I recently used this method to restore from Honeycomb. I too was again stuck at the Dell logo. However, I was able to use the recovery menu (Vol Up + Power) and do a factory reset and was fine from there.

Original System Files[/QUOTE]

Hi mate, I've followed your tutorial, I installed the drivers, it is detected as APX, I downloaded the p2 to p14, I have copied to the folder NVFLASH and I have given to Restore.bat and when I turn ends Restore.bat DS7 of the button attached to the SD slot and when I turn on only 3 LEDs are lit on the right side of the screen.

The Boot, System, Recovery and Animation I have to put in NVFLASH or only I have to put the img of p2 to p14.

I await your reply mate, I am somewhat novate this.

Thanks in advance

An NVflash backup sounds great, if possible since it takes the ROM version out of the equation which is a problem with CWM or a Nandroid backup. Nandroid backups are frequently mentioned but nothing about a successful Nandroid restore that I've seen.

what shall i do :confused::confused:

is it possible to lose the unlock ??? i thought it isnt ....

i might be suspecting that he switched and gave me another device if so
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Only people that can relock an unlocked device is Dell.... Afaik there is nothing out there you can flash yourself that will lock it.... So you gave your Streak to someone without writing down the imei and the service tag numbers?

Seriously tho, i picked up a Streak 7 bootlooping, and followed the guide. Now i seem to have joined a whole bunch of people with blank screens and only the soft buttons lighting up. No recovery or fastboot. Can anyone point us at possible solutions? I seem to have seen someone say its a case of mismatched bootloaders
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Only thing left to do is try NVFlash
[Dell Streak 7] hiroprotagonist:
It was NVflash that got me in the blank screen situation. Any bootloaders to try out?

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

I downloaded p2-p14, flashed with NVFlash and, Viola! No boot out of APX mode. None of the button combos work, no fastboot, no recovery. Its an unbranded 3g version, so i wonder if there is a particular bootloader i need to flash, and where can i find it?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
The bootloaders are identical for each submodel, the only differences are just the version number to point out that they're for that specific rom.
[Dell Streak 7] hiroprotagonist:
So, right now, i cant recover my streak to allow flashing in fastboot mode? Are there any other options open to me now?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
No... it was you doing something incorrectly that got you in this situation...
[Dell Streak 7] hiroprotagonist:
I find that rather hard to believe. I flashed this streak following the instructions exactly. I bet there are a few people who did that and now are in the same situation as i am.
