Ok let me rephrase that I purchased my device str8 from tmobile its not unbranded its a locked tmobile device so if I do method 1 will it affect my data service?
[Dell Streak 7] nik29:
I have a streak 4g unlocked tmobile 7.

how do I install recovery.img with fastboot?

I followed the instructions to install hc

at one point I said fota name mismatch ... System reboot in 30 seconds ....
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
No, whatever rom installed is independent of whatever carrier/service/etc

If you have a fota mismatch it means you need to install the correct recovery on the op.
[Dell Streak 7] WookieFan:
This also happened to me when I used a package (US WiFi) downloaded directly from Dell as opposed to the download you offer in this thread. If you try to installs HC as "update.pkg" using the Dell recovery options instead of "update.zip" via CWM, you get the FOTA mismatch.

If I had properly zipped the .pkg file, it may have worked with CWM. I don't know.
[Dell Streak 7] nik29:
then with the recovery of dell, I can not install, honeycomb?

I tried to install, cmw ... but the PC does not find the driver of s7

someone can give me some help?
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
Just a quick question. Why isn't it possible to just rename the 4g zip file to a pkg file and use the normal streak recovery? Sorry if this is an uninformed quesion, this cwm is new to me.
[Dell Streak 7] Nyflyboi:
i tried method 1 and got the following error "failed to verify whole-file signature"....
[Dell Streak 7] AdComa:
Hi Everyone, this forum has helped me many things about my streak and would like to make a couple of questions, I'm from Mexico and my English is not good, sorry about that!

I have a streak 7 4G (OEM version GLUNB1A133633 build 15 420) and have not upgraded to HC.

Which of the two methods that are in the first post is the Recommend?

Or even it could not update with these methods?

Greetings!
[Dell Streak 7] Guyver96:
Not sure if anyones mentioned it yet but if you have sorry for the repost, Ive seen some ask if it works for the Us Tmo 4g DS7 ...

The One labeled US 4g Zip works, But i have noticed im not geting a 4g signal icon. Edge and 3g icons are working. Wether or not it is geting a 4g signal and it just doesnt have the 4g icon i have no idea maybe someone knows. My screen flickers a bit, not noticible unless realy looking at screen hard enough... The wallpapers dont seem to be working correctly according to the croping.. Example when i crop the picture itll show what is supposed to be viewed in horizontal and vertical screens but once i hit ok its way zoomed in with either orientation... Dunno if its just my tablet or just something it does ... with the 2.2 in portrait mode it would show the whole picture as it shows while croping it but in landscape it would also zoom in to the upper portion of the pic... ANyway just leting you guys know ...

Netflix gives me a 12001 error unable to reach netflix service... Anyone know how to fix this... Very important for me lol I work in a very quite, lonely desk... Very boring.. netflix helps ALOT...
[Dell Streak 7] rafaelmldias:
I would like to thank the topic TheManii created.

Sorry for bad English, I'm using google translator.

I purchased the Dell Streak 7 T-Mobile a few months and I was very disappointed not to have the update 3.2 for HC oficil.

I researched a lot about the subject and I update this topic, I downloaded the appropriate files and tested the procedure yesterday, did the "easier":

1 - updated the "recovery.img"

2 - file updated using LG 7-820Urnamed_506to401_19534_30.pkg (update.pkg)

When you finish installing and booting the system, has already detected the 3G signal (in Brazil we do not have 4G) functioned normally after it tested the Wi-Fi and clean, not yet tested the GPS and Bluetooth.

Once again thanks to TheManii by topic, saved my Streak 7. :)
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
With regards to the 4g icon, while us carriers refer to HSPA+ as '4g'

I dont know if google does, they do refer LTE and Wimax as 4g and HSPA as 3g.

I believe 2.2 refered to HSPA+ as 4g but in 3.2 it could go either way.

I would assume it's only the labeling that's change, I wouldnt expect that it would change how it works, if you're not sure download speedtest and reconfirm that your speeds are right.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Has anyone that updated using either of the two methods having issues with downloading from the market?

I have flashed using both and neither allows me to download. My connectivity is ok, I can browse perfectly, I can sideload apps if I want, but market downloads just stick at downloading and never progress...
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I have the wifi model and noticed sometime Android Market get stuck too, I press the back button and try the download again. Usually the second time or third time the download will work, don't know why it does that.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
HMMM, I should be so lucky.... nothing I've tried once I installed the Honeycomb ROMs has worked... I have cleared cache and data for market and download manager for both the ROM installed via update.pkg and update.zip and haven't had any luck with either
[Dell Streak 7] Guyver96:
Market works fine for me... us tmobile 4g.zip here
[Dell Streak 7] WookieFan:
Same here. (no trouble downloading from the market)
[Dell Streak 7] Nyflyboi:
If I do method 2 do I need to be rooted? And can somoeone post a thread on how to use clockwork mod.
[Dell Streak 7] noelpd:
I have the US T-Mobile 4G Version. I followed the steps for option one and I get an error message saying FOTA Mismatch Model and it says it cant continue and then reboots. Dell told me it would work if I unlocked it and T-Mobile helped me and unlocked it. What do I do?
[Dell Streak 7] rafaelmldias:
I believe you did not do the update recovery.img.

I did the upgrade of 'recovery.img' and 'pkg', just that.

I found this procedure "update recovery.img" on the site streaksmart.com

update recovery.img

Download the Android SDK and extract it on your C: drive. I renamed the folder "Android" for simplicity and moved it to the root of the drive, but you can do whatever you want.

Turn it back on by holding the volume down (-) and the power button at the same time to enter fastboot mode.

Connect the Streak 7 to your computer.

Open a command prompt (in Windows, press Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt) and navigate to your Android SDK/tools folder. For me, it's in C:\Android\tools so I type cd c:\android\tools in the command prompt.

Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and press Enter.

was what I used to update the recovery, after using the upgraded pkg topic mentioned above.
[Dell Streak 7] stephenp1983:
It looks like the link in method 2 for •update.zip for US Wifi is not working anymore. Does anyone have this file at another link?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I just tried the link, there's nothing wrong with it, it downloaded just fine
[Dell Streak 7] stephenp1983:
I was able to get the file by just browsing to mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/misc/Streak7/

The link in the post directs to stock-506-USWifi.zip, but the file is actually named stock-506-us.zip
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Didnt notice i didnt rename that one properly, front link should work now
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Good evening fellas... now if someone wants to flame me after I pose my question go ahead because heaven knows I have done my fair share but I'm at my rope's end looking for the answer to this one...

I flashed the HC update successfully via the update.pkg, and I also used the update.zip method, in either situation, when I boot my 7 back up, I only have 71.45 MB of internal storage space...

Now I KNOW I saw a post somewhere from a fella with the same problem, can't remember if he got it solved or not, BUT I can't find the freakin' post to see what he was able to do or if he got his problem resolved...

Anyone got a suggestion I'd love to hear it....

UPDATE: ok, got it squared away although I don't understand for the life of me why I had to go through this if I had never had to do it before...

For some reason the 7 was not seeing the internal storage while the ext card was in there... soooo, I NVflashed back to Froyo and noticed that it said internal storage was unavailable, and when I picked to turn on usb storage, all that would come up was the ext card. So I took it out and rebooted a couple of times and it finally came up and said I had 11.62 gb available. So I decided to go one further and tell it to reformat that drive. I then placed the ext card in there and rebooted and now all is well. So, I flashed the Froyo recovery image and decided to try to update to HC via the .pkg file (I wasn't successful the first time) and this time it went off without a hitch
[Dell Streak 7] sakdroid:
How do I Flash US Stock Froyo recovery.img in Fastboot..

When I reboot with Volume Down + Power, I get message Starting Fastboot protocol...

and the message stays there for minutes and nothing happens

I am on US T-Mobile Streak 7 Unlocked

Streak is Rooted and has ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2

Is it good to go Method 1 or method 2?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
If memory serves me correctly that's all it's gonna say.... just go ahead and give the fastboot flash command and it should change and tell you it has loaded it or something, not exactly sure what comes up because I have never paid it much attention
[Dell Streak 7] sakdroid:
Thanks for that quick update..

I tried to run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I am getting below error

---------------------------

fastboot.exe - System Error

---------------------------

The program can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You are missing dependencies for fastboot, redownload Fastboot+ADB.zip and try again
[Dell Streak 7] sakdroid:
I was able to overcome the adbwinapi.dll by setting the path of Android sdk in PATH environment variable.

But now I am getting < Waiting for device> message..

In the above ADB attachment , I see inf file.. How do I install that?

---------- Post added 17th October 2011 at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was 16th October 2011 at 11:37 PM ----------

Looks like I need fastboot driver..

When I connect streak in Fastboot mode, I am seeing Unknown device in Device Manager.

Any link for fastboot drivers?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
IN the link that TheManii just provided are the fastboot and adb drivers for your Streak.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
The fastboot drivers may still need to be manually force installed, the drivers themselves dont actually contain anything, so force installing even the wrong one (as it contains 3) has no effect.

I will be looking into it more later
[Dell Streak 7] Nyflyboi:
I love my hc but I think the battery life has gotten worse a since the update... is there anything I can do to increase my battery life I have a stock ds7 from Tmobile with data service...
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Batter life is definitely IMPROVED, but what you are doing is tinkering with it more thus battery life drops per hour more, people seem to forget that one little detail...

How can you increase battery life you ask?? Put it down for a while and give it a rest!
[Dell Streak 7] Nyflyboi:
Lmaoooooooo I think your right I haven't put it down. Ok I have a new question how can I change the boot up screen from the Dell to hc boot?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Aw heck that's the easiest question I've answered all day... you just place the bootanimation.zip or what you want into the /data/local folder and you're set... takes about 30 seconds

If you are using the stock ROM there shouldn't be anything there. I have never looked in Stephen's ROM, but I'm sure the location is the same
[Dell Streak 7] sakdroid:
Followed Method 1 and atlast installed HC..

Looks cool and works great and fast.

Also Skype works with Video!

Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] Nyflyboi:
Ok 1 more question in order to do this do I need to be rooted...
[Dell Streak 7] redistributer:
nice works great

and nyfly adb shell access is your not rooted
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Yes you need to be rooted and in HoneyStreak and stock Honeycomb the bootanimation.zip is in /system/media
[Dell Streak 7] jmktheloc:
DS7 friends...

I tried the first method for the US wifi version, but messed up the 'rename to update.pkg' part- didn't see that option. once I downloaded the file, I clicked on it and the DS7 asked if I wanted to install the Dell Honeycomb update, and warned the tablet would restart when complete. I watched it run through the Android update screen like I've seen on my phone before (the Android figure next to a box with an arrow pouring out) and shortly thereafter the screen went black. The buttons on the side are illuminated but the tablet has been stuck-lloking for almost an hour... did I brick this thing, or what?

Thanks,
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I have not ever used an in-place update ever, that is what you described instead of updating manually.

Make sure the pkg is named update.pkg and try reinstalling it manually
[Dell Streak 7] jmktheloc:
...Okay, will do- but what to do in the meantime, while it's stuck?
[Dell Streak 7] Dell Streaker:
Help Me

I am a "noob". I have looked in all of the areas about getting Honeycomb onto my Tmobile dell streak 7. The problem is I do not understand most of the information because it seems like it is a foreign language to me. I see the two methods tha are posted, but I want to know what problems can exist by trying to do this, in laymans terms (insert sarcasm here ). I can take some poking fun at me, as long as it is followed by a "Honeycomb on Tmobile streak7 for dummies" info behind it :) Thank you. I am scared I will "brick" my phone (whch I understand to be just a worthless tablet that is non functioning) or do something that I can't reverse . I bought this thing beause I assumed it would get honeycomb update and now that its confirmed tmobile will not get it, I am tyring to get this done and over with. My main concern is that it will help battery life. Also, I have two other questions you may be able to answer. When I try to get onto my college website into webtyco it just keeps blinking saying that all java needs to be enabled, is ther some type of app ro something that will allow me to run java websites on my tab? Also, my wifi keeps getting stuck at obtaining ip addres, ll my other computers and stuff at my house has no problems, but the tablet keeps not connected, itll say disconnected and try to get ip address and go back and forth with the two...I am going to keep tryig to figure out this tech lingo to see if I can figure this stuff out by myself. Thanks in advance.
[Dell Streak 7] euklid:
I need to update my friends dell streak 7 (tmobile 4g version US) from froyo to HC, before trying these methods, what drivers do I need for my win7 machine to recognize the streak and in fastboot mode?
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
Try downloading the skyfire browser from the market. I believe it fully supports javascript. There is also one called XPro that I like (I think that is the name, I am not at my S7 right now).

EDIT: The WiFi problem usually means that you have the wrong WEP or WPA password entered.
[Dell Streak 7] corhou99:
Greetings, I am having the same issue trying to upgrade using Method 1 and i am getting the "FOTA model mismatch" error message, i thought i saw the answer in the forum but i cannot find it, anybody have any ideas how to get past this message? or can you post the link to the answer i thought i saw?

Thanks for your help in advance,
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
You have to go to the Dell Streak 7 Wiki from there you can download the recovery.img and the "official" update.pkg to be able to update your 7 to Honeycomb... I provided you the link since you obviously didn't search for it
[Dell Streak 7] corhou99:
Actullay i did, that how i knew that i was stuck at the FOTA mismatch when installing the "offical" package, as i said i was using method 1 as posted by manii, as you see in that step you have to download the "offical" package,

sorry if i disturbed you
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Did you also flash the correct recovery.img?
[Dell Streak 7] corhou99:
yes i did, i tried it twice
[Dell Streak 7] bhavikgupta:
hi,

I have a US Wifi model ( got it from amazon ), and i flashed HC using this guide.

Everything is working fine and i am loving the new update . The only problem i am facing is that, i am not able to install apps from the market. They just download 100% in the notification and then nothing happens.

When i click on my apps in the market it doesn't show any ongoing download but its there in the notification bar .

I hope i made myself clear . So a little help is appreciated.

Thanks

PS- I already tried a hard reset.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Can you log into google talk? I've had an issue where I couldnt sign in to google services and a symptom was not being able to download stuff on market and a telling symptom was not being able to sign into google talk

Google talk, gmail and other services are just fine .

And just to let you know i am using same google ID for three different phones ( including my streak ) .. can this be a problem , means like i have to use different ID's for all my phones :S

Hope this helps

[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
Is your SD card mounted properly?

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Yes, if I understand what you are asking. Make sure the zip file is on the internal memory.
[Dell Streak 7] touchsketch:
When you say internal are you refering to the internal tablet storage(11.63GB) or Internal application storage(1.77GB)? I have it stored in the internal tablet storage 11.63GB after download.
[Dell Streak 7] bhavikgupta:
So should i change the email associated with streak :S

I tried after removing the sd card .. still no luck there :|
[Dell Streak 7] touchsketch:
I would like to say Thanks to all, a post here and a reply there, I have successfully updated to HC. I used method 2 with ease. thank you.

Honeycomb is running smoothly on this device with no problems.
[Dell Streak 7] nagahtom:
Has anyone seen the flickering screen problem after updating to Honeycomb? I've seen comments about it on other forums but I haven't seen a resolution to the problem.

Also, I've been using adb to push and pull files off the Streak running Froyo. What's the alternative to adb after the update?
[Dell Streak 7] taddibbes:
ok , im a noob, i have gone over this several times and can not figure this out, how do i flash the stock recovery to my ds7. can any one make a idiot guide for the tmobile 4g . i really want hc, but i am totally confused. i have searched and reviewed all the guides but im lost.
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
An Update for the 1st post:

Just took mine from a rooted 2.2.2 with the tweaks to the official HC now.

1st: Replace the 4.0 clockwork thread with, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334487 for the 5.0

Next incase someone else had issues I had. After I flashed the update. I was still in clockwork mod. Issue is.. hit power button or anything else, would just turn off the screen. Couldnt do the "Factory Reset" till I did fastboot and updated to 5.0. Then Pinhole reset to turn it off. Then booted into recovery again, THEN factory reset.

Just thought Id chime in. =)
[Dell Streak 7] ragingazn628:
Hey guys,

I just bought a Dell Streak 7 Wifi + 4G T-Mobile 16GB. It currently has Android 2.2.2 on it. I believe it's rooted. I downloaded Gingerbreak 1.2, loaded into my SD Card and installed it with the app "Installer". Next I downloaded ROM Manager and did "Flash CLockworkMod Recovery" on it. When I try to reboot into Recovery it just restarts into the main lock screen. When I try to install ROM from SD Card it does the same thing. I cannot get into Recovery. What's the problem?

So far I have tried Method 2:

METHOD TWO:

Instructions:

Install clockwork mod 3.0 (From ROM Manager I have ClockworkMod 3.0.2.0)

Download the correct zip:

update.zip for EU 3G

update.zip for EU Wifi

update.zip for US 4G (I downloaded this one)

update.zip for US Wifi

Reboot (I did "Reboot into Recovery" in ROM Manager)

Install with clockwork mod (Can't do anything it just reboots back into lockscreen) STUCK!

Factory reset your device (Can't do anything it just reboots back into lockscreen) STUCK!

Optional: Install clockwork mod 4.0

Optional: Root your device

Any help would be great. THank you!
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You need to install the one in the dev forum, rom manager isnt supported at all for any dell device

Hey sakdroid and anyone else who completed HC upgrade using method 1...

I can't get fastboot to work no matter what I do. Here's what I've done/tried:

- Installed Android SDK including Java SDK

- Downloaded the recovery.img and placed it in the same directory as fastboot

- Installed ADB+Fastboot.ZIP from Themanii

When I execute the fastboot command, I get the message <waiting for device> and nothing happens. DS7 is connected and in fastboot mode. It shows up as a fastboot device with a yellow exclamation mark in device manager (WinXP). I tried installing drivers for the fastboot devices using the ADB+fastboot files that Themanii provided but nothing happens.

I think I am really close but don't know what to do. Help from Method1 experts will be REALLY appreciated!!
[Dell Streak 7] azx2nv:
FYI....the model I am trying to upgrade is a US 4G TMobile unlocked. I've been trying to get it to work with AT&T after unlocking but have not been successful. Even the AT&T store techs couldn't get it connect. So my last resort is to upgrade to HC and see if that solves the problem.

Thank you all in advance!
