PLEASE READ:

FIRST IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE OTA UPDATE(TO 2.2.2) ALREADY AND WERE NOT ROOTED BEFORE THE OTA UPDATE YOU CAN ONLY GET CLOCKWORK RECOVERY THROUGH THE FAST BOOT METHOD BELOW AS ONLY ROOT CAN FLASH CWR THROUGH ROM MANAGER

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE CWR INSTALLED BUT DO NOT HAVE OR TRIED TO INSTALL THE OTA UPDATE YET AND ARE STILL ON VERSION 2.2.1 DO NOT UPDATE!!! DOWNLOAD THE ZIP IN THIS THREAD http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008650 AND FLASH THROUGH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY AND YOU WILL HAVE THE UPDATE PLUS IT WILL BE ROOTED (CURRENTLY THERE IS NO WAY TO ROOT WITH THE UPDATE UNLESS IT'S THIS METHOD)

IF YOUR STREAK 7 CAME PRE INSTALLED WITH ANDROID VERSION 2.2.2 YOU CAN ONLY GET CLOCKWORK RECOVERY THROUGH THE FAST BOOT METHOD BELOW AS ONLY ROOT CAN FLASH CWR THROUGH ROM MANAGER

Ladies and Gentlemen,

After over 72 long hours and barely any sleep we now have a working Clockwork Recovery!!! I cant believe I did it! Thanks to everyone in the community that pitched in to make this happen, I couldnt have done it without the help of all of you! Thanks!!

Special thanks to Koush for taking the time to chat with me and Bogdi1988.. one guy on irc told me "You should feel lucky, Koush is even talking to you about this, he ignored me for weeks" hahaha I guess he knew how close we were so we didn't mind helping us get to the finish line! I dont know what exactly he changed for us but he put the finishing touches on it.

AGAIN: YOU CAN FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY MOD BY USING ROM MANAGER(IF YOU HAVE ROOT ACCESS) OR INSTALL MANUALLY THROUGH FASTBOOT

DO NOT PERFORM A FACTORY RESET FROM WITHIN ANDROID YOU WILL MESS UP YOUR PHONE. IF YOU WANT TO DO A FACTORY RESET DO IT THROUGH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY

make sure your phone is connected to the computer and you have entered fastboot mode on the phone by holding down Volume down and the power button at the same time

recovery: http://mirror.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.1.9-streak7.img

rename this file to recovery.img (or any easy name to type)and place into the same directory as your fastboot executable (usually androidsdkfolder/tools)

open up a command prompt and navigate to the androidsdkdir/tools folder and type this in at the C prompt

fastboot devices

(to make sure you're connected)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thanks to Koush, Bogdi1988, BinaryBishop, Lou, nledevil , Hellzya, KenAP, Josh (Hellzya:"hey Jo who are you?") hahaha and everyone else that helped us get this done!!!!!

LET IT BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

disclaimer: I am NOT responsible if you brick your phone trying to flash recovery. flash at YOUR OWN RISK. This software is not supported (only by the community), has no warranty(will void your warranty) and is AS-IS you use/flash this at your own risk. AGAIN I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU FU*K UP YOUR PHONE!!!!

donate if you want to/feel like it but if not no biggie.. I do this for the challenge mostly not for donations/thanks so if you feel like donating to me I wont stop ya but I'm definitely not asking for them.. if you want to click thanks then I thank you for your thanks :) , but again you dont have to :)

here is a mirror: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23637011/recovery-clockwork-3.0.1.9-streak7.img

if fastboot devices returns nothing, do this:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

if you messed up you system because u can not read, do this:

get this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23637011/system_orig.img

then do a fastboot flash system system_orig.img

or fastboot -i 0x413c flash system system_orig.img

if u were running dj_steve's perf tweak vs 2, then get this:

[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
I hope this attracts more dev. Too grab one of these. Also bogdi you guys did confirm that wiping data and cache through cwr was working? Last build I used was not. Ill test for my self when I get home. Now somebody needs to come up with a stock rom that we can install via cwr to revert back too incase somebody accidently deletes there backup. Instead of fastbooting the system and boot.img I'm stoked this is good. And too think I was about too sell my device. Stupid me

[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
Awesome job guys!

I watched how it developed along the way and really appreciate all the mid-night oils and red-eyes you guys have put up there.

I am not familiar with such so I can't lend a "smart" hand and because of my current unit auto-reboot all the times I am getting an exchange from Dell. So I did not even root this current one in case they say my warrenty is void.

So they are having title transfer now and it takes a week to get my new exchange device. I am excited to test all these when it comes!

Quick question: when you say

fastboot recovery recovery.img

do we need to press phone volume down + power button to go into fastboot first?

or we can just do it in normal working mode with USB debugging enabled and phone rooted?

Thanks!

Cheers,
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
You must enter fastboot mode on the device. Volume down and power

Cwm working for me ! Ty

hey all that worked so hard on this, i really appreciate it, this is the FIRST time i have EVER used fast-boot to flash a recovery, i was NOT EXCITED, til i realized the easiness of the task, but i also was not worried, as my streak has got 4 days left on my 14 day return, so i was happy to test this and let the community know it works on my end, anyways keep up the good work guys. if you get a ROM going in the next 3 days or so i can prolly give it a test, due to the fact if it bricks i will walk right into tmo and give them a sob story about my device died mid use, i love the device and i just want a new one...works EVERY TIME, well for me it does. thanks again everyone who made CWM recovery possible, hope to see this in honey comb sometime in the future, if not HC, then GB
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
I believe its almost impossiable to brick this device. Notice I said almost. Lol.

Sent from Re-Engineered dInc
[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
Lol. Almost.

They said that with the Vibrant that it was "unbrickable" and after that was said, it was almost like people went on a mission to try and brick the Vibrant, cause they succedded, lmao. But as long as people follow the devs instructions, it shouldn't be an issue.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I have sent a PM to Faux.. he is the kernel man! His kernels on the mt4g are awesome. I messaged him to see if he could help me modifying the stock kernel or if he wanted to take a stab at it for us. I'm running his undervolted kernel on my mytough4g and it runs great! I'm also going to look into doing a HC port. first I want to see if Faux can get us a kernel or at least give me a crash course in kernel dev. Dont worry guys we will have something soon! Jaywan returned my $50 I paid him for HC until we were ready he said. So instead of waiting for him I think I will try my hand in porting over HC. I heard it shouldnt be that difficult since it would be a xoom port basically.
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Thanks everyone for their time and hard work.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Thanks man!!! got a few hours of some much needed sleep!

I still cant believe we did it guys! if you had asked me 4 days ago if I would be able to port over clockwork recovery I would have told you hell ****ing no! lol

It really was a community effort. Everyone's input went into this, everyone of us spent hours digging and trying things out and bouncing ideas off each other.

I got the system dump for the you-know-what device. I cant post it because the paticular company that created the device has stopped letting users post the system dump file. I have it and I can e-mail it to you, just email me at binarybishop@gmail.com.

If you are a dev then you know exactally which system dump I am talking
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
what good is the system dump? I dont think that helps us at all?
[Dell Streak 7] djUniversal:
Is there list of component from the DS7 and the you-know-what from a tear-down or something so we can see which components will need extra drivers? or will you-know-what's system boot from the DS7 kernel?
[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
Well I know this...

We have the bluetooth and wpa_supplicant drivers and the kernel. The kernel will do us no good on an HC port unless we mod it. Im not sure if we can strip the drivers from the ds7 or not for stuff like the front and read camera, mic, speakers, etc. it is very well possible that they are generic and included in the aosp for gingerbread, but I dont know for sure. All I am saying is the system dump is a start.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Hey can one of you guys take a pic of the streak running clockwork? The guys from android central emailed me asking for a pic ;-) not a screen shot but a pic of the full device with cw loaded on the screen. Email it to graffixnyc@gmail.com

just flashed through cwm and all is good!!!! sweet!!
[Dell Streak 7] lufc:
Mighty Fine work Guys :)

Stickied as Requested
[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
If you are having rouble getting to the CWM interface the first time try this.

Boot into the stock recovery like normal (Vol + & Power)

Then select the update with update.pkg file

it will then go to CWM recovery, and at that point will always go into clockwork recovery (or should). That will flash the CWM recovery over the stock recovery, ad then you should be good.

I had that problem with my Vibrant and just confirmed that method works on the DS7.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
ok as bogdi said just completed a nandroid. did a full wipe rebooted everything was wipped booted back into recovery restored my nandroid and all is good!!! F ya guys we rock.
[Dell Streak 7] Paintguy25:
Problem Help!!

I have a problel, flashed recovery through fastboot, worked great then after 2 reboots now its stuck in a loop. ony boots to cwr and thats it, fastboot wont work to fix it... just boots to cwr??? need an update.zip or abd commands to flash it back. help anybody??? pulling hair out.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
this is a nandroid i created that is bone stock. you need too somehow mount internal sdcard too your pc and place this file into clockwork folder under backups. it may work it may not.
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
you guys are awesome, I just flashed, and backed up.

[Dell Streak 7] Paintguy25:
Thanks Graffix

Please send it to me when done ;) thank you.
[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
sorry i jumped the gun. After looking at the system dump, it wont do us any good. we need a modded kernel and all the drivers. Im kinda pissed off at dell. The kernel the posted is not the kernel for the streak. Its the entire linux kernel. I was reading online that it was just something they pushed because streak users were threatening a lawsuit for them not posting the source and violating the whole open source agreement. Which the are still doing because it only tells you how to build a generic source yourself, and you still dont have all the drivers.

I am going to read more about if it is at all possible to extract the current drivers from the device.
[Dell Streak 7] Paintguy25:
didnt work

Nandroid restore didnt work :( guess ill wait for your wrightup . thank you

so i went to his place... called up the phone number thing at the door. he answered, and said he doesn't accept devices anymore. i told him it is something about what he did last night and that i only ask of 2 minutes of him and he hung up :|

where the F*** is the helpfulness of this community?!

binary.. if u think u can help me recover my ds7, i am on the freenode irc..

and it looks like koush got online?! :-s but he is not saying anything.
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
so he is on the irc but completely ignoring everything i type.
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
I FIXED IT!!!!! OMFG!!!! YES!!! BOOTED BACK!!! :D

the 2 other guys with issues on this.. paintguy and the other

do the following

copy the original boot and recovery on your sdcard

make sure you copy that flash_image file also as we were trying before

now. here comes the magic! (**** YOU KOUSH!)

mount all the things you can in the recovery

type these in adb shell

flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img

flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img

select reboot from the recovery. now it will reboot and it will format misc and it will reboot again. NOW the device will load the os!!! :D

now that you are here, i also suggest to go to fastboot again and to flash all over again in this order:

flash system

flash recovery

flash boot

all of them using the original ones.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Good job bogdi. I knew it was nearly impossiable to brick these things
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
hehe... i can not believe i spent 6 hours on this when it was in front of my face all along!

but i did learn something... koush is a douche! he got on the irc, stayed for a lil bit and then he got off without saying anything or helping at all...

well, this weekend is chill time, then monday i start to maybe build my own roms :)

i plan on setting up a slimmed down version of dj's perf v2. remove some apps to fix some of the batterylife..

maybe we can work together hellzya and we can cook up a couple of nice baked goodies for everybody else
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Ya that sounds like a plan. If I get some free time this weekend ill flash dj v.2 and start going through it. An alternate launcher is a must. Let me know and we can get on irc and discuss. Also have you successfully backed up dj's v.2 wipped and restored it. I've only tested the stock.

Bog,

if i understand correctly you showed up at Koush's place unannounced? Idk what you expected man but I dont even think I would be cool with that. Lets not bash Koush here, its not his job to fix our devices. We asked for help and he simply chose not to help, nothing wrong with that its his decision. Lets not derail this thread anymore but lets not come down to name calling and yelling at someone who from the get go has stated he would not port it for us.

[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Hey guys sorry I was mia. I had something to deal with. Wow a lot has happened. LOL I can't believe you went to koush's house. Hahaha

OK so I will update the op to say not to use factory reset from the menu. I will also pull the latest code. Now, bog yesterday when koush was trying to fix the rom manager issue you said he switched the images. Remember? So he made p1 boot and p2 recovery right? So is p1 boot or recovery? LOL

Since he modified it it should be in his code branch right?
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
nope. he made /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 as recovery and /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 as boot when he fixed them. idk exactly what he had before.

yea... i wanted to get the frickin tablet fixed! and it was kinda his fault to start with... so yea... but he was a d-bag and didn't wanna help.. not even on irc. i fought with it until almost 2am until i figured it out :)
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Since you went through this maybe you should make an "unbrick" thread in the general forum. I updated the op not to do a FR from within android.

I want to get his fstab file but I'm sure now we wont get anything from him.. does anyone know of a way to download it from his tree if he put it there?

I'm surprised he didnt want to help... that's kinda messed up of him just to ignore you but at the same time you prob scared the sh*t out of him when you showed up at his door. I know I would have freaked out lol
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
lol. i wasn't even at his door. i emailed him and he didn't respond. PLUS he said he was retiring from this job...

[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I'll start one. Here goes:

In the beginning, Dell created the Streak 7. We saw the Streak 7, and saith that it was good.

But lo, the battery hath little life and bloatware didst plague the Streak 7. The eyes of early adopters were clouded, and their countenance was downcast.

The Devs said to themselves, "It grieves our soul that, having such a Tegra 2, the Streak 7 doth not have CWM Recovery."

And the Devs said, "Let there be CWM Recovery, so that We might have custom ROMs, Honeycomb, and the like," and it was so.

They saw the CWM Recovery, and behold they declared it very good.

Nice. I will read this before bed every night. :)
[Dell Streak 7] djUniversal:
When I go to recovery via power + vol up I go to the menu that has 5 choices. It was noted in this thread that you just select install packages and after it will forever boot straight into cwm. I did this and it works to boot it into cwm but I have to do this every time I need to get to recovery.
