Hi guys! Loving the autonooter - awesome work! I successfully rooted and am loving a 1.0.1 NC.
But, I tried to do the same for a friend with the same SD card with the 1.0.1 version of autonooter, stuck it in without thinking - and it turns out he had 1.0.0. I tried to reset the device - first with the power+volume+N - but this left softkeys on there and no way to uninstall it. So, I did the 8x reboot deal and it started doing the rom flash: "New updates are being installed. This may take a few minutes." All looked good...
Except it rebooted right back to the install screen again. And keeps doing so. I read a post from someone who had this problem and theirs snapped out of it. This NC doesn't seem to want to
Any help would be really appreciated
You might try making an sdcard with the autonooter for 1.0.0 on it and then sticking that in the NC. Then plug in the usb cable and see if it will boot with that. Wait and then follow the directions for the 12.15 autonooter (isn't that the one for 1.0.0?).
I just read a post about someone getting out of a tough boot loop by making a Nookie Froyo card and booting that. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10358375#post10358375
Good luck.
Thanks! I did try the -15 (1.0.0 autonooter) ...but it seems to just get stuck at a black screen (waited ~15-20min).
The Nookie Froyo card might be a good bet if I can't get it to work with the putty.exe boot fix...I just realized that's based off a nooter0.2 card so I made one. Here goes nothing!
Thanks for the input though, I really appreciate it - I'd hate to brick my friend's NC.
*Update* nooter0.2 and putty.exe didn't work - getting a "network connection timed out" error
Going to try the Nookie Froyo 0.5.6 card *crosses fingers*
Success!!
Using Froyo on the card allowed ADB access - from there, reset the boot counter. Powered off the NC, powered it back on - install screen came up again, so a little worried loop would continue - *sigh of relief* Barnes and Noble name popped up.
Back to stock! And now updating to root Thank you thank you!
Hi tarheeldan,
I think i am having similar problem as you did before. Could you elaborate a bit more, so i could follow your steps. I am not very good with ADB comment. After making Froyo Card, What's do you need to do. Thank you for the help.
"Using Froyo on the card allowed ADB access - from there, reset the boot counter. Powered off the NC, powered it back on - install screen came up again, so a little worried loop would continue - *sigh of relief* Barnes and Noble name popped up."
Long story short, I've been haiving a bunch of problems, and someone pointed me to an update.zip file that might help me unroot my phone without needing a USB connection. When I go into recovery mode and select "install package", I get this message:
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
Does anyone know what I may need to do in order to clear this up freaking problem?
first you might want to look at the stickies in general, thats what they are there for. if you dont find your issue SEARCH. 2 minutes of effort would have found you this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052991

Omg.. Another signature failed issue lol
Thanks for taking care of this one Studa
My apologies. I did look at the "related topics" that came when I did my post, but that one didn't come up. Guess I wasn't through enough.
I'm pretty new to all this, and I'll admit that part of that linked thread is a bit over my head so this may be another stupid question. My main issue is that I get an error trying to connect via USB, and it looks like all those fixes require Odin 1 click. Does one of those methods allow for the fix without a USB connection (I do think I have the ability to get a file from the computer to my phone via the external SD card).

What you mean you get an error connecting the USB? Could you be more precise?
Also, the signature failed fix is quite easy. Tbh, you simply have to have your phone plugged in in debugging mode and run the .bat file.
Please explain your usb issue.
BWolf If the phone won't connect to usb he can't use the .bat

I know, I know. I was saying for when/if it works. Duh
When I try to connect via USB I get a "USB Device Malfuctioned" error. (Which I HAVE searched on ) that I can't seem to find a fix for. I've tried it on 3 different computers, each with a different version of Windows, with the same result so don't think it's a driver issue.
I've done a factory data reset (several atually) and am still having problems, so I'd like to get a warranty replacement. But my phone is rooted so I'm worried about them voiding my waranty. Basically where I am now is tryign to find a way to unroot my phone without the USB so I can get it replaced. That lead me to the signature verifaction error and the shame of a premature post.
how loose are your ethics?
if your phone doesnt boot at all they can't tell if its rooted. a few 2 second bursts in the microwave should do it, don't do it any longer than that at a time. you don't wanna have any physical signs you just wanna fry the curcuits.
just PLAY DUMB and you should get a warranty replacement.

I'm not opposed to hiding the fact that it's been rooted, or if a fix I tried bricked it I'd be okay returning it, but I'm not sure I want to go as far as frying it in a microwave.
I've been looking for an ap in the market that would unroot for me, but so far none of the ones I've found have worked for me. Do I have no other options for something I could load directly to my phone via the SD card (I do have the ability to put something on my external SD card and transfer it over to the phone)?

no apps that i know of work for froyo to root/unroot without needing a computer and a working usb port ... what you will have to try is fix the 3e recovery manually. i dont think that update.zip will unroot, it just roots, but you could try. If that doesnt work go grab cognition rom from development flash that but while its in the process pop the battery out. if youre "lucky" you will either get a "phone....!....pc" screen or a hard brick in either case all eveidence will be erased.
this process will require some research and learning on your part...
Are you SURE you have the correct drivers for your computer? When I tried to use my phone on someone elsewhere computer the computer would not install it until I installed the samsung drivers from the odin one click post.
Can you get into download mode? Method varies based on build number or phone. Try turning your phone off, holding the two volume keys and plugging in usb, if you see a big yellow triangle with an android and a shovel you are in download mode. Once in download mode the computer will see your phone as a different device and install more drivers. If all that works, you can use odin one click to go back to stock.
Once back to stock your problem may be fixed anyway, if not it will be unrooted and you can return it to att. Morals intact.

lol Studa, you should stop helping people with their phone and start helping them destroy it
As for Cognition, it flashes the 2nd bootloader (sbl.bin) and once you start playing with bootloaders, you increase your chance of bricking. Which is why Studa suggested it.. Basically, you could just unplug your phone when Odin if showing Sbl.bin and you would have a brick in your hand = You bring it to the store saying it never turned on again after updating through Kies.
But like Studa said, you have some reading to do

I'm pretty sure on the drivers. I removed what I had and re-installed from a link I found online. From the searching I've done it seems that "Device Malfunctioned" error is the kiss of death. I've not found anyone yet who's recovered from that.
I remember getting into dowload mode when I did the update to 2.2 but don't recall the method. plugging in the USB cable with the volume buttons pressed just powers up the phone.

The method is actually a bit different then what he mentionned:
Unplug usb;
Pull battery;
Hold volume buttons (and keep holding no matter what);
Plug usb in your pc and then your phone;
Put the battery back in and wait until the android with a shovel shows up.
It can take a few tries too before it works.

No flashing a rom doesn't require odin. And the manual fix should be on the sticky

No, you actually shouldn't flash a ROM with the usb plugged in (UNLESS using Odin lol). I guess my point was that you could have Cognition on your ext sd card and flash it but didn't think about the signature failed.

You could always get Root Explorer and switch the recovery by yourself from your phone. That's actually what I did back when I was on 2.2 - Then again, you have to pay for Root Explorer and you have some more reading to do if you wanna take that path.

1. I don't think you can flash from the external sdcard, he will have to download it with the phone itself to get it on the internal sdcard.
2. The root explorer method is the manual fix I'm talking about.

That was imployed but Fine be that way! lol
So yea, OP - Beside all that Team confusion we're having here.. Go read/keep reading the Sticky about 3e recovery fix and if you think you can do it. Do the manual fix (getting Root Explorer and moving the recovery file by yourself) and get Cognition on your external and move it to your internal sd card.
(There I'm being clear Studa )
basically, before you guys judge, why would i need a pattern bypass, let me get through the story.
Basically, my tenant couldnt pay her rent, so she decided to give me half and leave. when she left, she also left her dell streak. i gave her a call and she told me i can just have it. when i tried to turn it on, it wouldnt so i charged it. waited a while, say 6 hours, then when i got back to it, there was a pattern lock. called her again but unfortunately, her cell phone line got deactivated. its been 2 days, and ive been trying but no luck.
basically, i just need a program, software, anything? lol. to bypass this because i want to sell it, or maybe try to fall in love with it
*things i have tried*
[1.] Vol up + Power
~brings me to (stock??) recovery (im guessing?) with 5 choices.
0. Boot Up
1. Factory reset (User data only)
2. Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card
3. Factory reset (User data and Internal Tablet storage)
4. Power off
~Chose #1 which failed
~Chose #3 also failed
both booted up perfectly and still showed the pattern unlock screen.
[2.] Followed a guide
~i basically treated the streak like it was bricked, so i fallowed a guide from illdill (sorry i forgot the link) but it was something related to nvflash and using it to flash images 2-21 on the dell streak 7.
~this method also failed, and also booted up perfectly.
*[3.] Try to put HoneyStreak RC 2.1*
~i get the error "Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait.. FAILED!"
idk what i means but all i know is that when i used the search button, i guess peoples who ask about it and have trouble about it, they get ignored. they try to bump, but yet no response. I read from post 427 to almost 560. none was answered. if there is a way out there. please help me ;(
only 2 methods i tried. anyone else? thanks in advance xda users. quick responses that arent usually nonsense gets a thank button clicked from me

Try flashing Honeystreak (it completely erases the internal memory since it needs to repartition it) if you like Honeystreak, keep it, if you want stock, flash back. Hopefully that will work.

thanks for quick response, ill try and see, most of the things im reading are, i have to atleast have CWR. which i highly doubt she has. when i tried to explain to her what "rooting" means, lets just say she wasnt interested at all.
unfortunately, it didnt work. somethings about "Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait.. FAILED!" and doesnt go through, that makes method 3 = failed. unless someone out there has a different suggestion?
thanks in advance
Uh...it failed to format the partition? I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
I know this will sound stupid, since you are probably in the right forum, but where you said "streak" are you sure it was the 7 inch and not the 5? Also, you said you got into recovery by volume UP and power, but I think volume DOWN and power is stock recovery...maybe it had CWM installed by someone who has used it before? (the options sound like CWM) and in that case, someone may have changed something. Again, I'm shooting in the dark, but if it is a streak 5, or if it has CWM, it would be different than just a stock Streak 7 on the lockscreen. The streak 5 and 7 are not just different sizes of the same device - they run on a different chipset. The 5 has a snapdragon (I believe) and the 7 has a Tegra 2.
EDIT: You said Streak 7 in the title, so...I'm pretty sure you know it's a 7. In that case, I don't know why it won't flash :-/

ahhh, thank you. first off, the partition, basically it looks like this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15109690&postcount=425). i have no idea why it fails.
the only ways i could tell it "might be" a streak 7 is....
stock, Volume Up+Power is stock recovery menu. Volume Down+power is USB Fastboot. Has red letters as well.
now. is there anything visible or any button power combo where i would be able to find out if this was a dell streak 5 or 7? sorry for the nweb question.
*fyi, i know how CMW looks like, i have owned many android devices and... lets just say trust me... the Volume Up+Power looks like stock recovery and the only reason i say this is because it has 5 options, and 2 of them are Factory Reset.
Thanks again for quick response!
Other than the screen size, the capacitive buttons are layed out differently. On the streak 5, they are equally spaced, wheras the Streak 7 has them placed so that in landscape, they would all be under your thumb. The Streak 5 also has a removable battery, and the Streak 7 does not. If you check the back and it is smooth with a removable battery, it's a 5. If it is lightly textured without a removable battery, it is a 7.
Hope this helps
EDIT: And as far as the partition, I still don't know what would cause the problem. It might be best to ask someone with more NVFlash experience than me

perfect bluesy_92. you've helped me so much already even thought my dell streak is still "unable to be used" now im for sure guarenteed this is a dell streak 7 (lol) since there is no removable battery and the c buttons are right under my thumb landscape wise.
as for the partition, would you help me figure out? ill sorta spam (not really) on the development thread for anyone who has nvflash experience to help me out with my streak.
as for others who click on this thread and do read and by any chance know any nvflash experience. please do help and just jump right in. thanks so much XDA community providers lets see if we can get through a bypass.
as of things to try
as of things to try in the morning when i wake up for work
the only thing im missing now is my adapter for my miniSD card to stick it in my streak and do the update.pkg file from the stock recovery menu. idk if it will bring me far because at work, i have internet access all day via phone (htc sensation) and i can try to keep update with my xda app but i have no desktop whatsoever.

Well, I've heard of people getting devices that are locked in read-only, basically making them unable to be flashed. The fact that nothing is working scares me that this may be the case, but at the same time, I never experienced it, so I definately can't be sure. Someone who has may be able to tell you if you're stuck. If it is read-only, your only hope is Dell by that point :-/
That's the first thing I think you should find out. Because if it is locked in read-only, your case is pretty much closed at that point (and not in a good way, unless Dell helps you.) If you find out it's not, then I would try to figure out why Honeystreak isn't flashing properly.
You can try update.pkg - everything is worth a shot, but unlike flashing Honeystreak, I think it won't repartition or anything (updating through a .pkg is the way manufacturers release updates - it was not designed to be harmful to the users data, afaik) so that's not exactly a sure-thing. Don't let that stop you from trying it, though - when something can't be used at all, any idea is a good idea

well, im not really trying to flash anything, i dont even care if its rooted or not, i just want it to be working basically. so my son can watch his elmo while i play my game or update my roms or watch my movies without him whining anything just to make it stock perfect again and this bypass to go through >__<"
What happened when you tried nvflash ?
Did it push all of the partitions properly ?
Are you sure you had it in apx mode ?
I just recovered mine from a honeystreak flash and nvflash rewrites all partitions. Then try to fastboot push the system / recovery images.. After that you should be able to use cwm via fastboot to write a new rom ( I went back to streakdroid 1.3 ).
Just put the image file into your fastboot directory and boot it from your computers hard drive ( fastboot boot cwm.img )

I flashed using these partition images ( Not the ones in the initial NVflash post) Maybe your image files were corrupted on download. Im glad someone uploaded them in 1 rar to ensure a clean set
Id start over from scratch by using this rar as your c:\Nvflash directory

See if those make a difference. After Nvflash completes the box will close, its normal. Use the pinhole to reset. From there I just used fastboot ( vol down and power ) to boot into cwm ( i can dropbox the image if you need it ). The command is : fastboot boot cwmimagename.img
from there you can format data/cache/system/dalvik/storage ( mine came back with an error not being able to format a few but try it anyway)
Mount SD card and copy something like the streakdroid zip to it. Using CWM's menus, install a zip from SDcard and choose it. It should run w/o error.
I had the Dell logo only stuck on boot after that , so I went into recovery and formatted user data only . From there it booted right up.
When you boot your streak, does it still boot into the original rom or does it just freeze on the Dell logo?

I flashed using these partition images ( Not the ones in the initial NVflash post) Maybe your image files were corrupted on download. Im glad someone uploaded them in 1 rar to ensure a clean set

sorry for the late reply, i just barely got home from work. i just bought myself a 2 gig micro sd card, and the adapter to stick the micro sd card in the bigger sd card. im going to try the update.pkg. unfortunate of me, i tried to do it right away but its low battery just my luck. charging the streak 7 right now.

not even, it would boot original rom with the users data still enabled. (the reason i say this is because, the pattern lock is still there) even when i tried the nvflash, it would boot right up to the pattern lock and with the same background she always had.
idea
since i now have an sd card, im going to try the "Restore your DS7" but the only thing thats stopping me is that it requires CWR which i dont have. ill try to work around it since my DS7 is recognized by fastboot and ADB. Also wanted to add another misfortune of mine, she does have debug mode on but fastboot should work rather than ADB. wish me luck.
if anyone has any other suggestions or ideas, please budge in. i dont mind at all. thanks for the help all!

failed aswell, after double clicking restore.bat, i let it do its own thing, after it pushes p14.img file, it closes the command box right away, so i used an earring to turn off the device, unplugged from the usb, and yet, it still loads up pefectly with the same wallpaper and still the pattern lock... ughh, this is really frustrating!! ;'(
im trying one last step, before i call dell... (i dont even know if they'll replace this since im not the owner or the buyer of the product. unless they will? let me know)
my last step im taking is, im gonna use nvflash again, but this time im gonna use the WIFI DS7 partitions. hopefully it works. please almight lord! *sniff* begging. wish me luck. ill update
and as you already know what im going to say next, if anyone out there has any suggestions, ideas or plans. please help me out. might help others out in the community. thanks so much in advance
Hi,
first post here.
Hopefully someone here can help me.
I was trying to flash a JB Rom, when I landed myself in a boot loop.
Now, my predicament is, I do not have the ability to get into recovery or download mode with the button combination.
I am on a Mac, if that adds anything relevant. Right now, my phone is unusable.
Can anyone help?
Thanks very much

Ok, First remove battery, press power for a min, remove EXT SD card and SIM card and reinsert battery and try for download mode ( you must know how to, if not find out use SGS WIKI here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
what are you using on MAC to flash?

Thanks xsenman, removing those two things seemed to work! Took me into recovery at least, still seeing if I can make something boot up now.
I use a mac, but I flash just straight on the phone. I know it's risky, but with the SGS and no real working Kies, I was still stuck on 2.1 until a few months ago so I had to take the plunge. Then of course I got hooked. . .
I'll write again if this actually becomes successful
