Thats the only way for for know until rom manager gets updated. If it ever does
[Dell Streak 7] djUniversal:
Thanks. Just checking it was normal to have to do it each time.
[Dell Streak 7] KenpoAP:
Anyone test quickboot?

From my CM7 urban themed Glacier
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
no go. Rom manager is only good for flashing cwm. nothing else works within it.
[Dell Streak 7] KenpoAP:
Jawan told me a couple of min ago that he is waiting for the recovery to be ready! O_o

I'm working on a cm7 build right now.. I have the help of DJ_Steve. DJ_Steve says that our kernel WILL work with cm 7.. I'm not sure how long it will take as the build takes hours and if it fails (like it has a few times already) then I have to figure out why it's failing fix it, then rebuild. So far I've been able to fix a few of the errors I got.. so it's been building for about an hour or so now.. basically we have to take a cyanogen 7 that's closest. DJ_Steve told me to make the cyanogen_harmony build.. If the build succeeds then it creates a zip file, he then said we have to replace the boot.img in the zip with the one from ours and it should work. He thinks we should be able to get at least a CM 7 port going for now.. and since he has way more experience at building roms then any one of us, I have to trust him :)

I will not make any promises that I'll be able to do it... but I can promise I will try everything I can try...
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
Hey buddy, have you created the DellStreak7 branch under nvidia project of CM?

I saw Harmony is there and wondering if we should make DellStreak7 as the sibling of Harmony under that group. =)

Finally set up my virtual box Ubuntu also and downloaded / sync -ed all CyanogenMod tree. IT IS HUGE! no wonder binary waited for days from his barrack. Mine roadrunner still takes couple of hours to get everything in place. I think it is around 9GB of stuff?

Anyways, I dare not call myself a dev yet so did not volunteer into the streak 7 dev team. As I only did some sun solaris/unix/linux server administration stuff 6 years ago and have been away from these since then. It was CVS back then for version control, not fancy stuff like git.

But glad my vim command still not totally forgotten and tar -xvf still came into my mind =) Would like to try to see anything I can contribute and help out.

flashed boot/system and recovery several times and you guys have done great job so far! Hope I can add a little to this great device's dev. =)

Cheers.

ps. my first name is wengang not jiwen, but I am in NYC same as you are i guess =)
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I just basically followed this to start the build

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Harmony

I had to do some modifications but not to any source code.. not yet anyway.. DJ_Steve has been helping me out.. Lets just see if I can get a successful build.. if so then we can give it a shot and take it from there..

Where in NYC are you? I'm in Queens
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
Sounds good. I will re-warm up myself to do some small tweak on my DS7 first to get up to speed. Haven't been touching these stuff for years :+)

I work in midtown, non-tech stuff. stay in jackson heights, queens also. =)
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Im ready ot Beta flash when ready.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
ahhh cool. I live in flushing/bayside.. I go to school at baruch at night.. in between jobs right now
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I know you're ready lou! You're always ready! after all, you are the first person to ever run cwr on the ds7 even if it had issues and didnt work right at first.. hahaha

I was over two hours into the build and my pc crashed when I was trying to do something else on it :( had to start the build over again but it's chugging away..
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
ok... it built....successfully... now I'm not sure what to do next because DJ_Steve isn't online.. I think I just replace the boot image in the zip
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Graff, what did you build?
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
It's a CM 7 build for Harmony which is close to what we have.. I unpackaged the boot.img and repplaced the boot.img in the zip.. and tried to flash.. I got an error :( Guess I have to wait for steve to find out what to do next
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
do you want me to try to fastboot it?
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
my first rom is up
[Dell Streak 7] nexio:
Can somebody please help explaining a little more tried a couple of things but still stuck cmr loop! Please!

Thanx!
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
ok so i was going to flash the new slim rom so i went into recovery and wiped and restored thru the backup restore option but all i get it recovery
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
you might have to do the fix with adb and flash_image that i posted a few posts before.

i have 2 people that confirmed it worked. you have to do factory reset from clockwork and not from the menu that leads to clockwork...
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
what do you mean by fix with adb ..i have adb that works ...nothing else and i read a couple of pages back what am i looking for exactly
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
also i also realized i dont have the normal recovery any more it goes straight to clockwork recovery wtf ...this is strange
[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
Hey bogdi. I try this and always get failed with error:-1 I've confirmed I can see the DS7 file system and even browsed to the directory and saw the mmcblk3p2 file, but it won't flash the image to the SD card. Any ideas?
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
make sure the files are on the internal memory and not on the sd card...
[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm doing this wrong. I thought that process extracted a boot image. Sorry been a while since I toyed with ADB.

I need those files actually. Where do I get the boot and recovery original images?

Thanks again.

Derek

[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
You sir are the man.....I bricked my brothers streak and now I gotta fix it :D
[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
Okay still getting the same problem.

When I run an ls command to confirm they are in place, I get this:

ls: ./boot_orig.img: No such file or directory

Seems as if that file is corrupted. I downloaded again and redownloaded on another browser to make sure my original download wasn't cached. Three times DLing the file and each time I copy to SDCARD and run a ls command, I get the same error. I also noticed it's the exact same size as the recovery_orig. But that could be totally valid.
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
umm... did you mount the sdcard again after copying them? you have to go to the mounts menu and mount the system, data, and sdcard. the mounts are all groped together in the top of the list.
[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
Trying this download now:

http://www.easy-share.com/1914187277/boot_orig.img
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
the file i posted is good! i assure you of that! make sure you mount the stuff after you copy the files. that is your issue.
[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
yes remounted. I see the recovery_orig when I run ls, but the boot_orig throws that error.
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
umm.. idk. my boot_orig file is good :-s

i just used it 20 mins ago.
[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
You were right. I went ahead and exited adb shell, unmounted, remounted, restarted adb shell and it's going through now.

I'm an idjit
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
good :) glad it's working!
[Dell Streak 7] grimesda@yahoo.com:
Had a similar problem last night. From the command prompt, use the Push command (before going into ADB, but still in the command prompt) to make sure you copy the file into that directory. No matter how many times I tried it by mounting and copying files over, it didn't work. After using Push, then the Flash_image worked fine.

CAUTION: The new OTA that just came out will not work if you did Clockwork recovery! You will need to restore to stock to update!

http://www.streaksmart.com/2011/03/t-mobile-rolls-out-android-222-update-to-dell-streak-7.html
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Whenever you mod your device you pretty much cant get OTA updates. If you have a device **especially** with clockwork recovery or a device with a custom rom you pretty much forfeit getting OTA updates and have to rely on the devs to incorporate the updates into their rom. I mean I have a rooted mytouch 4g running clockwork and also a custom rom.. a OTA update would NEVER work.. especially with a custom recovery. unless it's an update.zip which CWR can handle instead of the pkg files dell uses.... and cant be installed when it asks you "Do you want to install this update?" if it's an update.zip it should always be done though cwr

here is the reason why an OTA update wont work..

You get notification there is an update.. You: "great there is an update! let me download it!" downloading...... boom it asks you if you want to install the update.. you of course click yes.. then what the update does is TRY to bring you into recovery.. but guess what? The recovery that it's looking to execute isnt there anymore... why? because it was replaced by CWR so of course it's going to fail and prob give you bad results like we have been seeing...

MY ADVICE:: If you want to apply the OTA update then flash the stock recovery FIRST replacing the clockwork recovery!! after you do that first test to make sure stock recovery stuck and is what's installed.. if so then boot up and install the OTA update... THEN you can reflash clockwork recovery... you should be good to go and not encounter the issues some of us have had..

Lucky for me, I dont update ANYTHING custom or official till after 3days to a week to monitor whats up. ;) Ill let you all brick 1st. =p

Question for GET CLOCKWORK RECOVERY THROUGH THE FAST BOOT METHOD (OTA UPDATE )

Where is FASTBOOT usb_driver ? I failed “flash cwr through fastboot” because got” Unknown Hardware” Win7 32

ADB devices work fine for me but on FASTBOOT >fastboot devices > got nothing
[Dell Streak 7] avel7the7hated:
Hey guys,

Love the effort on all of this but I have a question...

Not sure if its because of the update (stupidly updated to 2.2.2) but when I try to run fastboot devices i get absolutely nothing. Then if i try anything it just sits n hangs at < waiting for device >. It is recognized by my system (windows xp) and all of my drivers are updated to the the latest...any ideas?

I cant write to the internal memory it is read only, I got FCs and tried to resote images and they will not orverwrite. can some tell me how to make it RW (Internal SD)
[Dell Streak 7] avel7the7hated:
Fixed my issue.... I just reinistalled the Android SDK and made sure it linked up with the Java app. I had grabbed the Android SDK .zip file from the web site and I don't think my system really picked it all up....I grabbed the .exe file, reinstalled and everything seemed to work itself out! Give it a shot!
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
do you have more details. what web site
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Question, the partition option for the SD card in CWM, How does this work since The tablet has a "internal SD" and a external one. Does the menu give us a choice which SD card to partition?

Speaking of that... can the internal sd be partitioned? Trying to see about getting debian to load on that but needs a ext3 and swap partition.
[Dell Streak 7] Razorwindmo46:
How about writing this up for dummys.

There is no androidsdkfolder/tools.

Where does the recovery.img GO?
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
if any of y'all are still paying attn to this thread.

Just decided to play more with my ds7.

Have it in fastboot mode, got everything going but the recovery.img will not install.

I get: error: cannot load "recovery.img".

made sure name was right. recovery.img is in the sdk folder/tools where fastboot.exe is.

Not sure why it won't boot.

any ideas?

edit, upon further exploration, guess my device is not found. I get an error everytime I try to install the drivers from the internal sd. Using windows 7 64bit home premium. any ideas?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Streak 7 won't take flash

Ok guys, I have a friend's Streak 7 that I'm trying to resucitate for him.

He made the mistake of trying to erase his info from within Android and now everytime he reboots his Streak, it's like it's never been booted before, asks for his user info, networks, the whole nine yards, like it just came out of the box.

So what I have been trying to do is flash it with CWM and install DJ Steve's ROM because I haven't had any luck with SuperOneClick either....

Well, I haven't been able to flash it.... I have installed the latest version of SDK tools and placed the CWM image in the platform-tools folder like I'm supposed but I just all the usual errors....

I will make a note of this.... I personally have a Streak 5", and if I try to flash the Streakmod recovery image from within that same platform-tools folder it won't work, I have to flash my mini from within my Streakmod folder...

Sooooooooooo, I tried the same thing (flashing from within my Streakmod folder) with this Streak 7 using the CWM recovery.img from the CWM thread for Streak 7 and it just hangs up....

I have a folder on my root drive that is for the CWM image but I get the same errors when I try to flash as when I use the platform-tools folder within AndroidSDK....

I hope someone can point me in the right direction...

I have installed and tried with all the 3 drivers, Android ADB Interface, Android Bootloader Interface and Android Composite ADB Interface, all with the same luck...

Thanks guys for your help in advance

EDIT: Adding a screenshot of my command window just in case it helps anyone maybe see something

Well apparently I can't post pictures yet, but what my command windows says is 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
Ok, found some generic drivers that seem to work partially.

I am able to reboot using "fastboot reboot", but when trying to flash recovery.img I'm still getting an error.

Any ideas?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Razorwindmo46.... the AndroidSDK folder is where the Android development kit is installed to. A lot of the guys here are app developers and such so they already have that installed on their computers.

Until I started fiddling with this Streak 7 I hadn't installed it, but it hasn't solved my issues with inability to flash Clockwork Mod either, nor have I been able to flash CWM directly from a Clockwork folder placed on the root of my C: drive either....

I'm pulling my hair out and trying over and over to see if I catch myself doing something wrong and succeed at flashing the CWM recovery image until maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

I wish there were a QDL tool for the Streak 7 like there is for the Mini 5.
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
my problem is that I cannot get the drivers installed. No matter how many work arounds I've tried I just don't get why dell can't give us proper drivers.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I feel ya, that was the problem I originally had with my Mini 5 and after frustrating hours I was finally able to get it to flash.

As I posted earlier, I have tried the drivers in the AndroidSDK\extras\google\usb_driver folder, and also the drivers that come with the Dell Sync and nothing has allowed me to be able to flash, and I know that's the first thing I'm gonna get told, is that I have a driver problem, but if I could get my hands on the definite correct driver then maybe I could get going....
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
just got it to do something.

Using the usb_driver folder drivers.

Now it says flashing stormgr partition recovery.

Any idea how long that takes?
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
SUCCESS!!!

got into clockwork recovery mod. Had to use the usb drivers from the google sdk manager with the fix found here on the .inf file:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11929063&postcount=23

After that I was able to run the fastboot recovery.img file install.

Never said it was done, gave it about 10minutes then entered fastboot reboot and the device rebooted as normal. Turned it off and then back on while holding the volume up button and was able to get into clockwork by pressing the update pkg selection from dell's menu.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Congratulations! Enjoy the sweet, sweet freedom.
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
installing dj steve's ROM now.

Was starting to have serious bugginess on the stock 2.2.2. Would turn it on and it would act like it was the first boot, except all my stuff would be there. Anything running from the internal sd would force close when trying to open and I would have to hard reset and reinstall everything. Very annoying. Done that twice in the last week. Hope my internal storage isn't crapping out on me...
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I ran stock (rooted) 2.2.2 for a couple of days, and never had an issue like any of the ones you described. You may have a bad SSD in there.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I wasn't so lucky.... Even substituting the modded .inf file I still get the fastboot errors

I'm pulling my hair out....

Let me mention that when I installed the SDK I only have the google drivers installed and the platform-tools installed, NONE of the other stuff... not sure if that matters....
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
the thing I was doing wrong is that I wasn't changing the directory in the command prompt:

cd\

cd\androidsdk\tools (or whatever folder you have your fastboot.exe in)

Also have to add this folder to your computer properties, advanced.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I've got all that right, but since my Streak looses all it's setting at each reboot, after I boot up and switch on USB Debugging, when I power off to return to fastboot, the usb debugging setting is lost and thus I can't use fastboot

EDIT: I saw something about editing system variables in another thread (haven't been able to find it again) but I didn't do it because when I installed the SDK I have it installed directly to the root of my C drive instead of in Program Files... Do I still have to edit the system variables?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Recovery flash not sticking

Ok guys, just like the post says... I finally got the correct drivers installed (I guess) because when I flash the recovery.img it says sending and list the seconds it took, then writing and how long that took, then finally says finished...

Well then I send the reboot command.

After reboot I shut er down and when I boot into recovery, I choose the update.pkg option and am still greeted with the stock recovery....

Any ideas...????

Once DJ_Steve gets HC stable I'm going to make a new modified recovery that will work with HC. I will update the OP with the link once it's ready

Help with CW please

Ok so first off I ordered the wifi only streak 7 which came with 2.2.2. I used the super one click to root. So all su features work as they should titanium and rom manager both work. So of course I tried to flash cw through rom manager and it says that it is flashed, but will not go into recovery. From there I followed the fastboot method, again successfully flashing cw. Still wont go into recovery. WTH am I missing???? anyone, anyone?!?!?!?!?!?!?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
You still have to use the volume buttons to get into recovery
[Dell Streak 7] juggalofr33k:
im in the same boat. all su functions work...i have root and it says cwr was installed, but if i go into rom manager and choose reboot to recovery, it just reboots like normal. and i cannot get it to fastboot either...
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Did you not read what I wrote, no matter what you do or no matter what program you install, you HAVE to press the Volume up button to get into recovery once the Streak begins to boot.
[Dell Streak 7] juggalofr33k:
After holding down volume up and power, I got it to boot to some kind of recovery, but it's not the cwr I'm used to at all... only gives me like 4-5 options. I'm new to the Streak, but have been active in the Aria forums, so I do know a little about root and cwr...
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Hey guys, I didnt forget about getting CWR ported over to work for HC, Just been crazy busy. If you guys know the partitions, fs type and mount points for HC I can work on a CWR
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
This would be very welcome; I hate using a computer to flash ROMs (Android is the true, post-PC operating system!).
[Dell Streak 7] crpercodani:
How can I get this info for you? I'm familiar with ADB to a certain extent. If I just need to enter in some commands and pastebin the results for you I could def do that.

nandroid not working

I just have a quick question, I rooted my DS7 with the gingerbreak apk as it was on 2.2.2. I then downloaded rom manager from market and flashed from the app. When I go into recovery by holding volume and power then selecting the 2nd option, I go into recovery perform a nandroid and when complete I chose reboot system now and "dell" shows up and then it just hangs on the tmobile logo. It never boots up and just keep hanging on tmobile "live life laugh" screen flashing black or quick glimpse of the pink tmobile screen.
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
Do a factory reset from Clockwork, should get it to start. That's what I had to do.
[Dell Streak 7] TheHypebeast:
After I perform the nandroid, I perform a "factory/data reset" from clockwork, but my information will be erased right?
[Dell Streak 7] humfleetd:
Why is this not included in the walk-through?
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
All of your personal info will be erased. It will act as if it were a brand new tab.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Any news on this being updated for Honeycomb?
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
I second this... Please... I'll be your best friend!!! :D
