[Dell Streak 7] dwcasey:
fingers crossed...

I'm in the same boat. I have WiFI only S7. I try Dell Update and it says there is not update. So then I gingerbroke, installed ROM Manager and CWM. Reboot to Recover in ROM Manager does not boot to recovery, just a normal reboot.

I tried volume - and power to fastboot mode, connect, same as you, waiting and fastboot devices ( and adb devices ) does not show any devices.

I've done this before on this same laptop to install Honeystreak a while back. Got tired of HS, so I decided to put stock back on, no problems.
[Dell Streak 7] dwcasey:
This worked for me

I ended up pulling this down

adb and fastboot

and putting it in it's own directory ( c:\Android ) and at least this time when running

fastboot devices

I got a ? instead of nothing. So I ran

fastboot flash recovery recovery-froyo-US.img

And it appeared to take based on the output in the command prompt window and on the streak 7 screen. Powered up, mounted external USB, copied LG7-WiFi_506_19534_30.pkg ( wifi only DS7 ) to root of external SD card and renamed to update.pkg .

Ran ROM Manager, installed Recovery ( I have done this multiple times before, but did it again ) then exited ROM manager, powered off. Hold volume+ and power button and wait for green black menu. select Software upgrade via update.pkg and it should take you to the CWM menu

Here is more help

I found out that when I *thought* I copied to SD card before last power down, I actually copied it somewhere else ( internal ? ) so after I got to CWM, I mounted USB and copied it over, renamed and unmounted.

I have had a few Android phones and rooted them and installed custom ROMs. So, while in CWM on the DS7, I select Factor Reset/Wipe, Wipe Cache, go to Advanced, Wipe Dalvik and Battery Stats. I do this for clean installs, but not usually need if it's just a minor update to an existing ROM.

Then go back to apply update from sdcard. Box with arrow pointing Android robot...waiting...waiting...

Edit: i used installed zip, and select zip in CWM, not the .pkg file. The box with the arrow pointing to the android robot wasn't doing anything, so I had to use the safety-pin to reset. Then power+ and poweron button, green and black menu, software update via update.pkg, which took me back to CWM, then install zip, select zip and install. Reboot. The reboot took a while, then it was up to Honeycomb 3.2 , kernel 2.6.36.3
[Dell Streak 7] azx2nv:
Thanks for sharing the files. I think the problem is that I can't get the USB driver for the DS7 to install. I'm using the drivers that TheManii sent. BTW, there are drivers in the root directory of the DS7. I've even tried those to no avail. The message I get when I try to install the USB driver is that the INF file does not contain any info for the device (DS7). I've installed the INF separately but still can't get it.

Any advice???

Woohoo!!! I am running HC 3.2!!!!! I got fastboot to work. Found a modified USB driver posted in the 'Development' section, installed it, and was able to see the DS7 using the "fastboot devices" command. I then ran the US-4G package and PRESTO! Can't believe how quick it went. And now AT&T Mobile network is working (which it did not before).

I am back to loving this tablet!

i have a very serious problem

when i put sim card in my streak 7 running honeycomb , wifi hangs ! can not find anything, just searching and searching !! i have to put sim card out and make a factory reset then wifi will be good, but putting sim card in, make the problem again...

tethering works good, just can not find wifi networks !!

and also i have problem with Gsensors and HC, on honeycomb it hags too, 90 degree Deviation !!!! u for right ! down for left !!!

and also i have very bad battery life on honeycomb

with froyo everything is good

EU 3g model
[Dell Streak 7] azx2nv:
UPDATE:

Honeycomb working well. No Wifi issues with the update but can't get AT&T Mobile Data connection to work. I've checked the APN settings and can't find anything out of place. Tried taking the SIM out, rebooting, and re-inserting the SIM but still no mobile connection.

Has anyone gotten their DS7 US-4G model to connect to AT&T either in Froyo or Honeycomb?
[Dell Streak 7] azx2nv:
UPDATE:

AT&T works just fine. There is an APN setting that needed to be changed. Instead of WAP.cingular, changed to 'broadband' and the DS7-US4G-Unclocked-HC3.2 connected just fine!

I followed the following steps for Method 2 (below), but am now stuck in a CWM Recovery loop.

1. Install clockwork mod 3.0

2. Download the correct zip: update.zip for US 4G

3. Reboot

4. Install with clockwork mod

5. Factory reset your device​

I get to step 5 and then do "reboot system now" and instead of booting to a beautiful new ROM, I just get back to the CWM Recovery screen. Any ideas how I can escape this? It's my first ever attempts at rooting, etc, so I'm new to the lingo.

I'm on a Dell Streak 7 T-mobile US 4g
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Try method one, it's the more official way to do it.

If you're already able to flash CWM going to the modded stock rec shouldnt be any different.
[Dell Streak 7] mokstone:
Thanks for the quick reply! And please bear with me - since I'm new to this, I'm still trying to figure out the language. A few questions:

-If I see the CWM screen, does this mean I've "flashed" CWM?

-Method 1 calls for flashing with fastboot. How do I do this? Do I use my PC to download the recovery.img onto a SD card and then stick that into my Streak?

-Same question with the update.pkg - do I download it to a SD card?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
If you see CWM then it's currently installed correctly.

Setting up fastboot for Windows -XDA wiki

Installing a recovery - XDA wiki

You will need to have fastboot set up on your pc (assuming you have windows), you'll need the recovery from the first post on this thread. As you're stating you're using the US 4g one, download the US recovery.

Then just follow the instructions on the wiki to flash it, of course you'll need basic understanding of the command line, as fastboot is a command line application.
[Dell Streak 7] mokstone:
Thanks for the tips, but I'm not able to do any of the steps starting with setting up fastboot, because I can't see anything but the CWM Recovery screen. I can't fastboot the Streak, and connecting the usb cable to my laptop doesn't give me access to the Streak either (it shows up as E: and F: drives, but doesn't let me access them). All I can do is execute the various commands available in CWM - no more, no less. Any ideas?
[Dell Streak 7] DCoop:
Did you ever get this figured out? I just had to install CWM 5.0 after running into the "password" bug on CWM 4 when I got into a low battery state.

I should be able to walk you through it in language that makes sense to a "normal" person. :D

The developers here and other knowledgeable people are great, it takes a while to get up to speed on all the terms they understand so readily.

good luck,

DC
[Dell Streak 7] mokstone:
Dcoop,

Never got it figured out. Still stuck in CWM. Despite trying everything (pinhole reset, volume up + power, mounting/unmounting, etc, etc), I just keep getting the same CWM screen. Any guidance you could provide would be excellent!
[Dell Streak 7] lazyart:
Just got one of these for my daughter. Found it much easier to flash than the steps here.

I checked for updates... though it told me there were none availab.e

I downloaded the update for my wifi only model.

I opened the update.

It then told me there was an update available in the status bar.

I started the update. It rebooted (maybe more than once) and eventually I was in Honeycomb.

No update.zip, no CWM, no adb... just download, open and update.

HTC hero s coming to us cellular. 4" screen 1.2 ghz processor.
[Hero CDMA General] Androidguy22:
Any idea how much internal memory this phone will have? The only thing I have been upset with my Desire about is the lack of internal memory. Yeah I know I can root, but I don't believe I should have to just to get more memory. I'm hoping HTC and U.S. Cellular have addressed this with the Hero S. If not, I may jump ship to Verizon where I can get a corporate discount on my monthly bill and a wider variety of phones. Ive been with USCC for almost ten years, and I don't have anything bad to say about their service. It's always been top notch. I'm not really a phone geek either, I just want more bang for my buck these days.

Thanks for any reply's.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Felimenta97:
Guys, I'm with some problems (everything works fine for everyone, except for me) with CWM Recovery, it's crash backuping and don't install any custom ROM.

So, I would like to know if there's any method to install one custom ROM using the PC. Anyone knows?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
Mine never crashed once in that cwm installation. maybe you have a corrupt cwm or something?

try it from the beginning. use the batch script here on this thread

ClockWorkMod Installer - Windows v4 - Linux v4

and see if it works now.

i guess you would have manually installed cwm.

i dont think there is a way to use the pc to install roms unless a dev steps up to do that. try the basics and see if it works.

IF you still experience crashing try flashing the whole phone using SE update service and then go from the base. it was easy to do that (through my experience i found that).

Good luck with the recovery

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Felimenta97:
The problem it that I've just had flased it and installed with this CWM Installer. It started having problems after I tried to install the CM 7, when I was with Ginger. DX v6 or v9, I don't remembered.

And the xRecovery started with problems after that too. I've installed ArcMini Theme with it well, but after the Ginger.DX, I couldn't do ANYTHING!

Oh, and sorry for English.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Laxman Rathore:
I don't thing it will possible or easy to install via PC & you should first go for xrecovery, install ROM like froyobread (which having simple installation process) & will also install updated CWM recovery automatically. Then you can replace this ROM with any other ROM & remember now you have CWM as well as xrecovery.......enjoy :)

Ive used DC to AC inverters with good results. main benefit is most devices ship with AC power supply so inverters will always work. Sort of like a poor mans upwards compatibility guarantee.
[Acer Iconia A500] ThatGeekGuy:
AC inverter with stock wall wart FTW. Allows the flexibility to plug anything in, not all my electronics can run off 12v or USB (battery chargers and such). Inverter tucks underneath the passengers seat and runs off the rear seat ciggies outlet. Have a 6 slot outlet strip plugged into the inverter with extra wall warts plugged in for my most used gear.

Ok thanks... I never modified it so it is still the stock rom. I think that I'll email the guy and see if he'll exchange it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] surfer63:
Thanks a lot for this flash tool. I'm on MacOSX and Ubuntu and don't have Windows either. I tried the original rkflash as well but couldn't get it to work. On my Ubuntu boxes your rkflashtool compiles and works fine.

My Archos 7 HT V2 presents itself also as:

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 2207:281a

Reading partitions works fine and so does writing.

I did a quick modification of a system.img (left some files out) of my custom froyo rom and wrote it to my tablet.

That works fine. As /data is a separate partition I even have all my downloaded apps, data, settings, etc. This makes modifying a new rom much faster then building a complete update.img, flashing it, restore some data and then start testing.

Nice work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
great! finally I can remove one line from my todo list :)

thank you!

EDIT:

random notes (I don't see your code yet so it may be fixed, then sorry)

* I always specify b(reboot) for rk2818 tablets with my rkflash because it hanged easily if I try to write multiple times without b

* parameter file need to be converted with rkcrc -p. official RKAndroid tools flashed it 5 times with offsets. (read & check 1st 0x0-0x2000 block)

* I logged how to update bootloader, but it's complicated and I could not understand :( probably bootloader can be updated via misc partition. see update-script in update.img. (but not recommended/no reason to do it)

EDIT2:

there is libusb for Windows and OS X. rkflashtool may work on them.

on Windows, there is RKAndroidTool.exe (not batchupgrade). but "read" function in rkflash/rkflashtool may be useful on some case on Windows :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ivop:
Good to hear it works for others, too! I have not had a hanging tablet after several writes in one session, but this might depend on the tablet.

Thanks for mentioning that it should also work on other platforms supported by libusb. I'd forgotten to do that.

About using update.img to flash a new bootloader, this can be done, but if you brick the tablet by flashing a wrong/faulty bootloader, you can only unbrick it with the Windows tools :(

Which leads me to the question: could you send me the snooped log of updating the bootloader? Two people see more than one and perhaps we can eventually manage to do this through libusb too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
probably you also need a needle to short pins of NAND chip ;)

so I don't recommend to flash bootloader :)

I made that log several months ago with another windows machine which is not used lately. I'm not sure log is still exist... if I find it, I'll send it to you (but please don't expect)

probably you may also get log on Windows on VM on Linux. it seems VMware has log function (refer http://vusb-analyzer.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html) or there is "usbmon" function in Linux.

actually I didn't try this way myself so it may be wrong, sorry.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tomaszwiniarski:
I've tryed a couple of firmwares, cooking my own.

Every time after flashing, tablet shows boot animation and after few seconds display becomes dark.

My investigation led me to following:

Log shows:

ERROR/Lights(865): write_int failed to open /sys/class/backlight/rk28_button_light/brightness

in /sys/class/backlight I found symlink (rk28_bl):

rk28_bl -> ../../devices/platform/rk28_backlight/backlight/rk28_bl

Shouldn't be there another symlink named r28_button_light ?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] surfer63:
I did a couple of successive writes as well from ubuntu.

My main platform is OSX and I immediately added libusb. So far I have not been able to compile rkflashtool despite declaring all kind of CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS.

Trying a little bit more.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ivop:
Could you post the compiler warnings/errors here? I might be able to help out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] surfer63:
I managed to compile it. It took a lot of hurdles. I used the build environment I also use for Hugin for which I'm the OSX maintainer.

I now built a single combined 32/64bit (i386/x86_64) rkflashtool that will run on 10.4.x/10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x (building multi-architecture, multi-version binaries/libraries in one binary/library is possible on OSX. I'm not going to explain that here but it's a feature of OSX).

The compiled version is attached. You can also attach it to your first post if you like.

It works fine. I did some reading/writing of images without issues.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] surfer63:
If you are on OSX and have macports installed, you can do the following to build rkflashtool.

Install libusb from Macports:

sudo port install libusb

cd into the folder where your rkflashtool.c is is and run the following command:

gcc -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/libusb-1.0 \
-L/opt/local/lib -o rkflashtool rkflashtool.c -lusb-1.0 -W -Wall

This will build rkflashtool for your native environment (OSX version, hardware and config).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ivop:
UPDATE: Works on rk2918 tablet too

Yesterday I have tested the tool on an Arnova 7 G2 tablet, which has an rk2918 CPU. If you change the ProductID before compilation, like this:

... libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(c, 0x2207, 0x281a) ...

to

... libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(c, 0x2207, 0x290a) ...

it'll work, except for rebooting the device if the tablet is still locked. To boot the tablet in bootloader mode, turn off the tablet completely, put the on/off-switch in the locked position and connect it to your computer. It should be visible now with lsusb. For further instructions, see first post. I advise dumping the first 0x2000 blocks at offset 0x0000 first as this contains the parameter block in which you can see where each partition starts and how big it is.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] surfer63:
Feature request :) :

I's nice but could you also make it a startup option, like the b,r,w options, with an if-else option in the source code? Something like (RK)2818 and (RK)2918 and maybe even for the older ones: (RK)2808.

In that case you only need one binary. Users who are going to use the tool will definitely know what CPU they have.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ivop:
I released a new version and updated the first post. It now tries to connect to an rk2918 tablet and if it doesn't find one, it falls back to rk2818.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] surfer63:
The V2 version works fine too on MacOSX. The compilation is still the same for a "my machine only" version.

I compiled a universal Intel 32bit/64bit 10.4/10.5/10.6/10.7 V2 version as well.

See attached.

Note: I don't have a RK2918 so I can only test for a RK2818 tablet.
