[Q] Pattern Bypass Streak 7

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 )

hold down Volume up + Volume down while plugging the USB cable in? Pretty sure i am because the first time i got prompted on my computer, i already downloaded the drivers, i just had to direct it to find the drivers, it said APX mode.

when you double click download.bat, after the img file 14 or 15 goes through, does your command screen suddenly disappear? whats your next step through that?

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
http://www.multiupload.com/OM0VO9HBO9
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?

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

[Q] Troubles with Flash...

Hi all,
Well, I just got my Dell Streak 7 wifi this past Friday(9/2/11) By Sunday night I had rooted it to Dj Steve's HoneyStreak 3.2/RC 2.1. (HD7-RC2.1) Every thing is running great. Though the battery life stinks. Im now having troubles with Flash on the system. Ive updated flash to 10.3.186.6 in hopes that an update would fix it. But no go. Like if I go to live.twit.tv, it plays sound but no video.
Now I have downloaded another version called Streakdroid -HD 7 2.0 R2.(which is for wireless) Should I reroot it to the R2 since my Streak is wifi only. or is the RC 2.1 ok? & what can I do to fix Flash ?
Thanks for any help.

The newest build is r4. You can download it here:
http://tabletroms.com/forums/streak...m][r4]-honeystreak-hd7-2-0-release-3-2-a.html
Flash the r2 and then update to the r4. Hopefully the r4 build will sove your problem.

Thanks otnos. That worked.
But now When I connect my streak 7 to my pc.. I get MTP troubles & I cant find how to fix it & my pc shows Streak7 but wont install it & theres no drivers I can find for it...I dont get it.. didnt have these troubles when I was using Honeystreak RC2

I remember it has something to do with this version of honeycomb does not support usb. Maybe someone who is familiar with this issue can comment.

R4 on wifi here. Usb works fine via MTP with win 7 ( x32 and x64 ). If you are on xp I think you need mobile device center ( the new ms activesync ). Its a free download from Microsoft.

Ok I was reading through all the stuff & I tried the activesync.. & nothing Other wise.. this rom rocks Thing is.. I dont have an SD card reader on my Pc so i HAVE to connect my streak to my pc to get into the sdcard

Try going into mmc and go to devices. Click on the yellow exclamation and update driver. Allow ms to search online for updates . You might need to uninstall old drivers first.

Here is information about mtp.

Ok, First. Let me start by saying. Thank you for all your help guys. Its nice to be on an "active" forum & where others actually help each other.
Now.. Ive done all I can to get this working & nothing.. Ive installed all sorts of drivers.. upgraded to WMP 10 Used Windows update... & STILL the system just wont let me get into my Streak. As per the pic I posted.. Device Manager see the Streak7 & MTP Yet.. I cant install ANY drivers or update them... Oh,also, just to let you all know..Im on Win XP Home w/ SP2. Only thing left ,that I can see,is to go to SP3. Gonna try that & I'll let you all know how that step went.
Thanks again all,
Xpun3414
*Update* Updating to SP3 did not help,nor any other windows updates

Have you install Dell Sync? I think the driver is in the Dell Sync for windows program.

Ok I was having issues with both my computers not picking up the dell streak or not finding the correct drivers. It would actually charge it instead of recognize it as a usb device. Try this:
- Turn off your streak.
- Hold down the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time. While both are still held down plug the streak into a wall outlet or power strip. Let it sit for about 2 minutes.
- Unplug the streak and use the pin hole next to the sd card to power off.
- Plug the streak into the computer once it is powered on and see if anything changes.
- If it still has the yellow question mark next to it try and update the drivers again.
***Side note***My computers are running vista and win. 7 and I don't have an xp computer to try and replicate the issue on. I will work with you to try and get this working though. Let me know the results of this.

Well, I tried all of the posted things guys... sync sucks.. its not even a driver its just software. Last thing to do is to go from R2 to R4.. Though I had R4 in before & had the same troubles. Im at a loss... so,its either I go back to stock or go to Honeystreak RC2 & have no flash or stay with R2/R4 & have no way to connect to my pc.. What to do,what to do.And why the HECK dont Skype work on any of them, even when Skype says it supports the 7- Just a side note, & a rant.. no need to answer that one. GRRrrr

One more thing when you complete this process if you have CWM recovery installed there is a process to get that removed. I would say attempt the first process first though. Let me know if it works. Again the link is here:

Do you have many files to transfer? You can use other methods. I use File Expert, it can transfer file from your computer to the ds7 through wifi.

Hi again all. Well,I decided to do a wipe & go back to stock. I found the stock rom on the site & Im goin that way...after that,Im still gonna root it again In other words,Im gonna try & start over from scratch. Thanks otnos,never thought about the wifi thing. I'll give that a go. & Naaa, what ever files I want on the 7 are small & not many. So that should be fine. Also, again.. Thanks to all of you.

And the results are in...
..Success.
Ive followed AndroidOVERALL's directions & every thing went smoothly. Im now back @ the stock Dell Streak7 Wifi only rom. And all is well. I can connect to my pc again and see/transfer files to & from. Flash works with no problems. And its not like the last "stock" rom I tried. Which was called a wifi only S7 stock rom. It wasnt.. it was a T-Mobile stock rom. But this one I have now, is the real deal. I had just one little problem when I first rebooted the S7. it keep showing as the internal sdcard was not formatted & had nothing on it... I tried to mount it that didnt work... So I gave it a run for a few minutes & then rebooted. And all was well in Streak land. The system is running very smoothly. Though I do see how it is a bit, slow? laggy? compared to the StreakDroid R2/4 or HoneyStreak RC2.But still runs good. Now if I can figure out how DJ_Steve got a full blown web browser to work as a desktop browser on it Im set
Thanks again to you all for all the great help,tips & seeing me through this. Couldnt have done it with out you all. Thank You
So...Next step.. Reroot ! & see where it goes. Wish me luck

Dell Streak 7, now this is a brick!

I've bricked my dell streak 7 pretty good, here's what I did.
I purchased a T-mobile DS7 from ebay, it came rooted with a custom rom (3.1), I didn't like the rom and attempted to update to the latest official US 4G rom from the wiki. It didn't work and I got stick only able to get into fastboot and CWM. Now here is where I went really wrong, in a lapse of concentration while in fastboot I ran either: "fastboot erase boot" or "fastboot erase recovery" I can't remember which.
Now I can't seem to get into any mode! fastboot, recovery or ATX, is there any hope for saving this device? anything I can do? I'm pretty gutted..
Its charging but that's about all its doing!

Nope I think you're pretty much screwed my friend

well poop... Soon going to be near the dell service centre in KL Malaysia, do you think they would be able to reload some sort of android software on the device?

Maybe try nvflash? For example ICS B4 or HoneyStreak. It's worth a shot...

Dell Streak only applicable in US & UK, I dont think they could support in Msia,
I suggesting charge devices for few hours, boot into nvflash mode, if nvxx drivers prompt means your device still there,

get the honestreak R7 HD2, thats the only files u needed,

Use NVFlash for a HoneyStreak this will take care of all of it.

fastboot erase only bugs out on the S5 from what i've heard, I think i recall someone else mentioning that it worked on the S7.
Are you sure for a fact you cant get into APX mode? as that is pretty much impossible to break without physical damage as it's stored in actual ROM I assume (as in literal write-once only memory)

I can get into ATX mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooharr Thats the best feeling ever after giving up all hope for this device. Nice, thanks everyone your all so kind!
hmm now what?... I'm going to do some research on how to flash a rom from atx mode.

Grab a rom that uses NVFlash, run the script it tells you to do while the device is in APX, done.

Try this I used it on my wifes t-mo streak lastnight to get back to stock
search XDA for this topic "Restore dell streak 7 (wifi only) using nvflash" second result in post # 51 there is a link that works nice for NVFlash

dose not work

It might be a soft brick if it can boot up. If a hard reset via adb dosnt work then it probably a brick.or If you could get into download mode (or fastboot as i still dont get it after a year or 2) and flash stock firmware then it should work. If not then nothing will work as far as im concerned.

Please help i bought it for my dad's birthday and aint know what to do ... Please ASAP .. thanks

First, open the side port, and use a paper clip and punch that little hole, it will do a hard reset.
You need at least a 60% charge for recovery mode, and always do updates while connected to the external power cable.
Do a reflash of the upgrade, and do a factory reset and let us know how it went.

Watch giveen's videos here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydM7qkoCs00&list=PLB99FAE280F618B12&index=1&feature=plpp_video to learn how to NVflash, download this file http://d-h.st/iXc, unrar and run the restore.bat file.

The link you provided to the "restore to 2.2.rar"....are these files for the WiFi US model or the T-Mob version ?

As far as I know, it's the only restore file around. Can't comment if/what you'll lose.

Pretty sure this is US wifi only and it wipes everything.

well i have tried Nv Flashing it with this restore to 2.2 file, also added a 22.img to it n flash it n few subtractions of .img files too, wot ever i could find here on xda so far but my Dell streak7 4G Tmobile USA Locked version on froyo 2.2 is stuck on tmobile boot loop & i also tried flashing via SD card by update.pkg files frm XDA & this file it loads 90% & give a Modem Error.. check image below..
i need ur help... dnt know wot to do next.. plz guide me wot to do next to bring it back to life thanks in advance

If the 2.2 file don't work, nothing will! You might be stuck in the "read only" mode. Some have returned their S7 to Dell for repair but at least one person has gotten out of that mode. Not sure if there is a thread on that subject or one got OT. Do a search on "read only".

I've been doing some research into the read only mode. Want try something but need one that is having the problem
