[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
reboot into recovery, clear dalvik cache, take the touch capacitive button cover panel off and ensure that all three are held while performing a hard reboot holding in the reset button for 15seconds it worked for me so I am happy (flashed my latest build of MISTREAK too :p)

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

forgot to mention you will want to hold down the power button while you do that too if it doesnt work with the above
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
So it's clear the dalvik cache and either the reset+power button or reset+the three capacitive buttons?
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
Reset + capacitives other wise reset + capacitives + power
[Dell Streak 7] joeyhewitt:
I don't want to take off the cover and risk breaking something -- why is it necessary? If I have to, is there an easy/safe way without dismantling the whole tablet? Edit: saw the disassembly guide, now I see that the first steps are removing the side panels.
[Dell Streak 7] mbaydoun:
Hi Nocturnal

can u give us more details how to do it

thanks
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
doesn't get any more basic than what you have quoted me saying, if you dont know what touch capacitive buttons are then look for glowing things on the right hand side of the streak 7
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I believe they are refering to the "taking the touch capacitive button cover panel off " part of your instructions.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
I put that in there as its easier to ensure all touch cap' buttons are pressed, I got mine off fairly easily with out breaks using a guitar pick and a spudger (wish I could say the same for the other panel)
[Dell Streak 7] mbaydoun:
Thank you for your replay

I know what is capacitive touch button is, can u give us step by step instructions cause I tried to hold all the touch buttons+ the reset pin+ power on, nothing happened

Best regards

yes wait step-by-step from Nocturnal_50

today my dell streak 7 get into read only mode too :eek:
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
ok tutorial as follows:

find your streak 7

pick up your streak 7

open the sdcard cover

locate a paperclip/pin/needle/anything really f***king small that fits down the reset hole

hold down the reset button, power button and touch capacitive buttons (touch caps' require 5lbs of down force on each to register at this time)

do not let go of any of them for 2min

boot into recovery

clear dalvik cache

flash new rom

if none of that worked reset dalvik cache and try again

if you dont understand any of this you're a f***ing n00b

end of tutorial... any questions?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah....what is a button?
[Dell Streak 7] con_sau_may_tinh:
my streak get into readonly mode with stock rom 2.2.2, no root, dont have clockworkmod recovery

i'm try press all button when streak OFF >> no result

use "fastboot boot recovery.img >> go cwm recovery >> press all button 2min then POWER and goto cwm again to flash new rom >> no result

/sorry for my bad english :o
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
hold down both volume buttons and see if you can now NVflash, what worked for me may not work for everyone else
[Dell Streak 7] celblazer:
Do you need to flash a new rom?
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
entirely up to you
[Dell Streak 7] celblazer:
No joy getting this to work. Tried several times and even removed the touch panel. :(
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
drain battery completely then try it again at 15% increments, I can't remember the exact process for mine or what percentage the battery was at but try everything you can think of.. even try fastboot commands for wiping partitions

"Read Only" problem

Finally , i replace internal inand (sandisk INAND) and flash it back to stock 2.2 then streakdroid via APX mode . Everything solved . I use 8 GB chip , may be up to 32 GB .
[Dell Streak 7] joeyhewitt:
Thanks for posting, good to hear this is possible. Got any recommendations on where to find them? I just found http://www.ssd.gb.com/Products/SanD.../Embedded_Flash_Drives_(EFDs)/iNAND/index.php which seems to have part numbers, but I have a feeling it's going to be tricky finding a seller, at least in small volume. Also, what is the pin count/package size of the Streak? And this is a no-solder replacement?

Thanks.
[Dell Streak 7] namsss:
I swap the chip from my old Droid 2 Global , here is the datasheet , you will need an BGA machine or something like this , good luck .
[Dell Streak 7] joeyhewitt:
Hmm, BGA machine, so this is not anywhere near as easy as I was hoping for. Not sure if that will be feasible for me. On the bright side I see broken phones/mainboards on eBay for ~$15 that should have compatible iNAND chips.
[Dell Streak 7] toxicpg:
so

after 2mont. .. its def BGA chip .... since u enter fastboot mode and try this command ... ( fastboot oem format_all and get error .... that means that is hardware failure ... and it cant be managed by software solution or holding down reset button and power and side buttons ....

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

and Nocturnal ... dont give people false hopes :) .... no hard feelings ..... but if u did disassembled your device ... u would know that when u hold power button and reset button ull only get the resoult : mainboard is not giving any power at all ... :) sorry for my eng ... /best regards from Croatia ...
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
just telling them what worked for me, if you can powercycle the eMMC then you are set, I am sure that there is something that caused that during a "light boot period" in which it actually powercycled and re-instated RW... alternatively disconnect/short the eMMC physically while there is power (HUGE CHANCE OF BRICK if you are a noob) and then reconnect, 80% chance that the alternative will work
[Dell Streak 7] toxicpg:
.------- the Riff solution doesnt work ... since jtag and riff only support dell streak 5 .... no solution for streak 7 ....
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
I wouldnt have expected a JTAG for a QC based device to work with a Teg' anyway... not without heavy modification anyway
[Dell Streak 7] toxicpg:
so what now ? sh...t happens ... and then Dell dies ... thanks God for ebay .... :)
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
attempt a JTAG to power cycle the eMMC only then push the recovery and ROM again
[Dell Streak 7] vwbug2007:
are you sure that works on stock rom with stock bootloader and stock recovery? the instruction look like its for custom recovery kind?
[Dell Streak 7] Bartor495:
Hi all, I'm new here, and I also have the same problem with my DS7. I have read through all the replies, and I have a hard time with following just text.

[Dell Streak 7] ddg5060:
So I have just stumbled upon the years of problems that everyone is dealing with here, reading through the pages and pages of posts was like reading a story of epic proportions. Ups and downs feel like the getting out of read only mode is the unsung hero that is fighting against all odds to make it up the castle.

Since the thread basically died I am going to assume that everyone just gave up or everyone somehow fixed the issue. What is going on with this, how can dell be allowed to release a product like this. And if people were able to fix the issue how can it be done? I'm assuming it had something to do with this JTAG box, is what I was reading before the thread died.

Can some one update on what's happening ?
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Backup a page or two and you've found the only procedure posted that supposedly worked for one person.
[Dell Streak 7] EliasKesh:
Data is now readable

I think I have made progress but I wanted to run it by the group. My streak 7 can not be factory reset. I looked at the filesystem and found that /data (/dev/block/mmcblk3p7) was marked as read only by the filesystem due to a journaling error. I loaded up busybox into /misc/ and wiped the parition using DD since DD does not go true the filesystem but writes directly to the block device. I also cleared the cache partition.

./busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk3p7

./busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk3p4

After a reboot data is now writable and I created and removed a file as proof . The root file system I can also make writable using:

mount -wo remount rootfs /

mount -wo remount /dev/block/mmcblk3p3 /system

I still however, can not factory reset the device . Since the entire filesystem is mounted read/write:

rootfs / rootfs rw,relatime 0 0

tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 0 0

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0

Have you guys tried using NVFlash to format partitions 1 through 22 then flash back to stock Froyo ?
[Dell Streak 7] norcalnub:
dell streak 7, boot loop.. Can't restore, might be read only?

I have tried to use NvFlash (files posed by TheManii) to go back to stock 2.2, but it doesn't take. I can also get into fastboot, but noting seems to work either. I'm going to try everything on a different OS (using Win 7 x64 atm) that might have something to do with my problem. Then I saw your post here and thought it might be stuck in a read-only mode. And I would also like to try getting someone with a t-mobile streak 7 and copy their boot partition files directly and their rom to load on to mine. But I need to make sure it isn't an OS problem on my computer first. (I can also get into the stock recovery mode vol-up+power, so I don't think it is lost cause, just a bit of pain in the rear) Or a worst case scenario in which the tablet's 'bios' needs to be flashed.. (I might be getting things a bit confused but I'm reading as much as I can about android os {I also have OCD so I have to learn it LOL}, even got Oracle VM VirtualBox to try out roms and run apps with android kitchen)

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

I looked back a few pages in this thread and found if you can't format your partitions with fastboot then you are in a read-only mode... Well I went to do that and it said unknown error. I'm going to load a different computer with win xp and see if it will work there. I'll keep this one on and logged in so if anyone sends me a message about or if I have made progress I can reply/post about it.

Wish me luck..

:fingers-crossed:

I was looking around and Giveen posted this on table roms.com "You need to skip p22.img as well, as that flashes your SD card." (he was referring to flashing back to Froyo 2.2) Which would explain why a few pages back a solution was found to fix the read only problem.. Replacing the internal SD card chip... If that is the case I wonder if you can put in a micro CD card slot and slap in a 32 gb SD card (would never be be able to get to it, it is inside the tablet). Going to back a few pages and look at that datasheet link.. :eek:
[Dell Streak 7] liamo:
was your device rooted prior to loading busybox? did you try to flash a custom rom afterwards? my s7 has been sitting on a shelf for some time, so i might dust it off and test it...

Yes, my device was rooted when I picked it up and it was already in read-only mode . Put mine back up on the shelf.

I have the same problem.

Dell Streak 7 is not officially released in India. When I called to dell, they refused to repair.

Fortunately I found a person who is working in dell and repairing dell streak 5. I called him and asked to repair un-officially. he took it and returned me almost after 1 month :crying::crying:. saying it can not be repaired and problem is related to shared memory it seems.

Now I see no way to make it fix.. :crying:

Hello, i had dell streak 7 with read only problem, and what is needed to do:

1) Disassemble your streak and found flash memory chip (my streak have this - SanDisk SDIN4C2-16G)

2) Buy it. (i founded SanDisk SDIN5C2-16G)

3) Go to any service center and told them to change broken bga flash memory chip

4) Run dell streak in nvflash mode

5) Through nvflash mode download to the new flash system with all partitions

6) Update firmware through fastboot

And your streak again is live

Hi Guys

Does any of you have a clue on how to make a REGULAR 3G VIDEO CALL ( not Fring, not skype, not qik, not Tango) on Android HTC phones ?

What I mean is regular carrier based 3G VIDEO CALL .

Android HTC phones can not make it , though WM HTC Rhodium and a few others could do. I also know Samsung Galaxy phones and Galaxy Tab can place regular 3G Video Calls and they are Android .....

Is there a way to make 3G Regular Video Calls on HTC Android (like Sensation) ? It could something like porting the Galaxy Phone dialer apk or any other ideas : Has any body tried this ?

If you know the answer pleaseeeee give me a reply ASAP .

Im currently using Ridata 8G Class10 SD Card..

I was trynna download mp3 using a WIFI Connexion but its too damn slow..

do you guys think that the SPEED of Downloading will vary on the SPEED of SD Card's R/W'?

Or its just the connexion'?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
It depends. I suggest running the SpeedTest and SD Tools apps from the market and then see for yourself. Although I think that a Class 10 SD Card should be fine. Also search the forum for franco's tweaks to improve both the RW and WiFi speed. (It's the only read_ahead_kb tweak that worked for me).

[Optimus One, P500, V General] MechanicaIMan:

You guys NAILED it! I switched brands to a Sandisk Class 4, no problems. Now I have a totally different issue... Everything was going great, and I had an error that I mistakenly cleared the market data to fix. Now, it just says "starting download" indefinitely and never starts to download an app ever. I never should have hit "Clear Data" in the Applications section of the Settings. I meant to hit "Clear Cache". After that, I read piles of How-Tos that expressly said NOT to hit Clear Data. Eh well, do I need to reinstall the OS and Apps again to get the Market dowloading??

Thanks again for the help. You guys ROCK!!
[Nook Color General] votinh:
What's wrong with "Clear Data"?

I personally advice people to Clear Data.

Clear Data is just clearing the data, that means after clearing, you have to re-accept their term again (or re-login). It doesn't uninstall or delete anything.

In your post, you mentioned "starting download", what "starting download"?
