How to root froyo 2.2.2 - Dell Streak 7

Download the .apk found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 i used version 1.2. install a file manager if you transfered the file from your pc and find the .apk and install it. if doing it from the device same thing. before opening the .apk make sure debugging is on and unknown sources is enabled.
Open the gingerbreak .apk and simply click Root device. If successful the device will reboot. Once it reboots download an app that requires superuser. and if all went well it should ask for superuser perms. Also you should now see the SU apk in your app draw.
Now Download Rom Manager from the market and flash Clockworkmod recovery and flash away. Rom manager is only good for flashing recovery nothing else works within it. You must manually enter recovery by holding + volume and power until bootloader menu appears. Then select option 2. Make sure your battery has 80% or more. No more fastboot. Good luck and happy streaking.
I'm not responsible if you brick your device. Do some reading before you think about rooting and see if its for you.
Thanks goes to the devs of gingerbreak.

THANK YOU HELLZYA!
And Thanks to Chainfire over at GingerBreak.
This is the coolest thing EVER!
So happy to have root now!!!!!!
Time to be a flash monster. lol

Very strange. I have SU but CWM does not work.
I click on Backup ROM and it just reboots.
I click on Install ROM from SDCard and it just reboots.
I click Reboot into Recovery and it just reboots.
Other than that everything else works great that needs SU.

Now everything force closes
I haven't been able to flash because everytime I reboot my Streak 7 returns to factory state, so in another thread I was suggested this workaround to help me get CWM installed and then flash another ROM...
Well, I ran this and it seemed to be fine, ran quick and then rebooted, but much to my disappointment, now everything force closes, everything, I can't even use the calculator.... and sometimes the startup wizard crashes and/or the home launcher...
Im worse off than when I started.
About the only info I can give you is that it's a Streak 7 with 2.2.2 installed

Gravityrat rom manager is only good for flashing recovery nothing else. You have to manually access. Cwr by holding plus volume and power till you see bootloader menu. Select option 2 and you will be presented with cwr. Make sure your battery is at 80% or more

i rememeber reading this on streak forums last week

thanks for this!!! Too bad it was just one day late for me after spending 6 hours figuring everything out...

Where was this when I spent hours using SuperOneClick and finding workarounds?
But seriously, thanks for the method input! I love methods that don't require a computer (I'm trying to rid myself of a computer entirely, so I hate to hook up to my old desktop even if it's to root).

Thatruth it was actually posted this week. Saw it tryed it and it worked. Figured id share

Mods, can you replace the SuperOneClick sticky with this?

I am new at this, so can someone please explain how do I "make sure debugging is on and unknown sources is enabled"?

You need to download the gingerbreak apk from xda, make sure you allow opps from unknown sources and have debugging ticked, install the apk then open it and run it your streak will reboot then you have root hope it helps you
Go to your streaks settings and within there in applciations and development sections
Settings - applications - tick unknown sources - select development - tick debugging

[Q] Install Blocked, Phone does not have option to allow "Unknown Sources"

I went under settings, applications, and I do not have an option anywhere under any of the menus including development menu to allow applications to install from unknown sources. I have done everything in the Captivate User guide(rooting,backup,recovery).
I am trying to install market enabler.
Phone is Rooted.
Go to the development section and look at the sticky called enable sideloading. Or you can load the stock rom and use sre and it will enable it for you.

SRE! I think it is suggested to un-root first. Check the sre thread, its a rom and kernel that roots, overclocks, removes bloatware if you want, unlocks tethering, installs busy box, installs app to fool the market so it thinks you're on another network and opens the ability to install unknown sources all in one update.zip.
Flash to stock with the odin one click and rename the sre file to update.zip and reboot into recovery and reinstall packages you'll have everything you ever want in a phone. For now.

I know all too well about that feeling after having my HTC Blackstone, From Winmo 6.1 - 6.5.5 and TF3D-Sense.
If you are having problems have a look at unleash the beast. It has an easy way to add sideloading. It also adds many other useful features.

No you can be rooted as long as your on the stock rom. I've flashed back and forth from sre to another rom a few times and as long as your on the stock firmware its fine if your rooted. Matter of fact I would recommend rooting stock, then clockwork mod recovery nandroid backup of stock rom before moving on to another invade there are problems. If you use Odin beforehand, I'm pretty sure it will wipe your backups making them useless. ymmv
I am having the same issue. When I try to install an app it says "Install blocked for security, your phone is set to block installation of application not sourced in Android Market". As a safty feature it will not let me install any file/app that was not downloaded from the market place. How did you get it to work? My friend has the same phone but thru verizon, he said all he had to do was go into settings/applications and uncheck some security feature. Please help.

Ota pushed to mine too!!! 2.3!!!!!! Well, I had to start the check and there it is!!
Me 2 I just checked and it's there. Just booting up as I type. And, I just got a "Software Update Failed".
_mrbirdman_
If you guys hold off on the 2.2 OTA, ill have a pre-rooted .zip to install (will work no matter what version your on ) 7 minutes ago via web
got mine lastnight
Something about a cache error. I had to .sbf to get the update. So everything is fine now with 2.2. Now for the Droid 2 root method.
so if im rooted on regular 2.1 will it work out ok? i uninstalled kindle app and blockbuster and a few minor other ones. is that an issue?
I have a buddy with a Droid X which we rooted and then removed lots of the bloatware. He is having the same issue. I'm in this thread for the fix
As with the leaks you need to replace anything you removed from system or you take a chance of bricking. There seems to be a problem using the 2.1 .sbf after trying to run the ota so be very careful if you removed anything put it all back to be safe. My 2 cents

[Q] What did I do to my phone??

For the most part I was just looking for the wifi tether app. So I did one click root and everything was still good. Downloaded rom manager, everything was still good, installed the clockworkmod. Phone rebooted and I had to do the update thing. Phone rebooted, still good. Installed busybox and lost the ability to usb tether my phone. Removed the busybox and got tether back. Downloaded the beast update and told rom manager to reboot into recovery and installed update, rebooted, update didn't take, did it again and still nothing. Finally booted phone and manually entered recovery mode and ran update. This one took. Now I go to try run the wifi app and it force closes. Tried to run super user app, force close. Tried to run rom mananger to restore last backup and super user fails there too. Any ideas?

Why don't you pruds try to help and not criticize that is what is wrong with this Dev Forum God forbid if you all come down off your this is a dev forum.

Thank for moving it to the correct forum, I guess I figured since it was a problem with something from dev that is where I should post, my bad. As for the rooting twice the post said it was ok if you were already rooted.
Ok, so I used the one click root and took it back, re ran unleash and still same problem. According to the post it should install busy box at the time of the installation. It didn't, I downloaded it but it won't install.
Thanks, I flashed back with odin. I was able to install the beast, however wifi tether continually crashes with force close. I tried to update with the new install but it still crashes.

need HELP, many issues after reboot with revolt 1.5

need help again ran into alot of issues
i'm using revolt 1.5
1-for some reason after i moved some apps from phone to sd card using App 2 SD by sam lu the system show the apps as uninstall after i reboot the revo, how can i fix it?
2-also after that reboot, my market can't download or update any apps it just get stuck showing the download bar but it have no info of whats the download percentage,
since the market cant download apps i tried downloading the revotoolkit.apk from the xda revo forum with the google browser and it worked
3-but another issue poped up when i try to install the revotoolkit.apk it'll freeze and wont install, whats the problem here? i tried installing multiple times still no dice
4-then i figure something up with the market app so i try to clear it data and cache so i went into settings >> applications >> manage applications and notice there's nothing on the " Downloaded " section
so i check the " Running " section and see that all apps from android system-youtube says computing..
then i went to " All " section, same thing as " Running " section but with some more apps.
then went to " On SD card " section its blank also like downloaded, anyone know how to fix it?
i thought i did something wrong flashing the revolt 1.5 rom so i went back to cwm and do the whole process again " wipe data > flash revot 1.5 > reboot and it didn't fix anything, i still have the same problems
5-so i tried to connect the revo to my pc and run s1c to unroot it and reinstall the stock v4 and redo the whole downgrade and root process then another problem occured, the revo wont connect as internet connection while debug on and neither mass storage and media sync work but it shows the revo is charging through the usb connections
i'm sorry for such a long post
so can someone please help
side note - my phone worked flawless and everything works before i moved the apps to the sd card and reboot thats when everthing got screwed up.
but i still can make/recieve calls/text, the internet is fine i can browse/stream/download with stock browser and youtube
What I would do is back up apps, reboot into recovery, wipe data, reflash the rom, then reinstall apps.

i even tried to do the software update on the revo obviously it wont work but i thought why not give it a shot.
i was wondering if i would flash any previous revolt versions would i be able to do the sorfware update on the revo?

Interesting.. What home replacement do you use? I use GO Launcher, and I went in, and did some light app cleaning, getting rid of crap I don't need. I rebooted to make sure it was all off, and interestingly enough, some of my apps were gone. I went into Settings- Applications- manage, and the apps I was missing on my home screen were still there, but were not being displayed on my home screen. I did a reboot. And it solved it. I don't know if that had to do with the GO Launcher or not.
If you go to the market, does it say you have the apps? If you get Astro file manager, does it say the files are on your sd card? I mean, they have to be somewhere. You could wipe cache, and dalvik and try to reflash the rom. If that doesn't work, you could try homeless, and if everything is golden flash revolt. Taking into account the risks there. I know somewhere quite close to the top of the forums, we have the original files so you can take everything back to stock if you junk it up too much.

Is that "my back up" an app or did you save that under cwm back up? If you saved it in cwm, you can access that through recovery. If its an app, you should be able to download it from the market again, and it may have saved what ever for you. If you get to the market and says you have it, you should be able to choose to run it from there or uninstall. Again, if you get Astro, you should be able to find your back up on your external sd card.
i was using " go launcher ex "
when i went into the market it didn't show any of the missing app, but the missing apps still have a short cup on the app drawer with out the actual app icons.
" MyBackup is a app by rerware, LLC " they have 3 versions " MyBackup/MyBackup Root/MyBackupPro$4.99 " is like TI Backup
I've tried going back to the market to download and reinstall the MyBackup app so i can restore my apps+data/contacts/system data but it tend to freeze
so i use the browser to google the app, i found the apk file on google and download it w/o any delay so i thought something is wrong with my market app
once the download of the mybackup app completed i tried to install it and thats when the other problem happen, it won't install. i tried to install it a few times and each time i'll wait 2-7 minutes and it still no install.
at 1st i thought it was something wrong with the apk file so i tried to install the revotoolkit.apk i've downloaded and installed w/o any problems earlier but didn't install this time and it just froze like the mybackup.apk
so i tried the troubleshot in the order i did on my 1st post
thanx alot for the reply markapowell
if you can think of something please let me know
Well, that is beyond my already lack of expertize. Sounds like you might be missing some LG file from the factory. For instance, when we got the phone we had a list of freezable goodies. Well one of the programs you would freeze would kill Bluetooth, but it would have been a program that should have never controlled that function. So you may have offed something that was connected to how you see things in the drawer. How to solve it, is beyond me, without looking at the phone.

i tried flashing revolt 1.0-1.4, rehome 1.0/1.1, decrap 1.1 nothing fix any issues
then while i'm still on decrap 1.1 i finally found a way to get the revo to be connect to my pc with internet connection and debug on last nite
revo turned off and make sure it's in auto internet connection with debug on before i turned the revo
then connect to pc " pc is on " before i turn the revo back on
once the revo established internet connection w debug on i started s1c v2.1.1 to unroot it
then i use LGNST to update with the v6 tot file instead of doing a downgrade to v4
after update finished i reboot then try to download apps from the market, same thing as before it wouldnt download or install. so the problem wasn't fix on the market
then i check the other settings like my 1st post and its still the same thing, all the problems still there nothing was fixed on the v6 firmware
so i just dont bother with it anymore since the stock firmware didnt fix anything i know i broke something not sure what
then i just went to a verizon store told them the issues, they check the phone firmware just to make sure it's stock and not rooted
"good thing the LGNST and the v4/v6 tot brings the phone back to original state "
then the verizon reps did a factory reset just to check if that would fix the issues and it didn't anything so they just going to send me another revo in a few days
i guess thats the only way to fix those issues
cant wait to get it and root again , if anything screws up i'll have to use LGNST again and bring it back to verizon
thanx again to mtmichealson and markapowell for the replies
huge thanx to hilong08 and nasirahmed posting the LGNST and stock firmware files and how to downgrade

Yah, sounds like you did all you could do. Glad you were able to take it back in. Good luck on the next one.
there's probably more i can like really dig into the system to find which files are missing but then again i'm not an IT tech i'm just a trucker and it'll be much easier for me to just revert it back to stock and have verizon send me a replacement
Did you ever try adb push in recovery to get my back up back?
Open command prompt to platform-tools folder hold shift and right click on platform-tool.and start command prompt there then run
adb devices (insures your connected debugging must be enabled)
adb pull /data/app/com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro-1.apk
(that will pull the apk to the platform-tools folder)
Now boot into recovery
adb devices (make sure you are connected and says recovery next to it)
adb push com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro-1.apk /data/app/com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro-1.apk
Of course that is for my backup pro not sure what you had but should be similar

nope i didn't try this method to push the MyBackup back to the revo
since i still have it i'll give it a shot see if that could fix it
when you mention" boot into recovery " do you mean go into cwm?
thanx for the reply
That is correct and the only reason you have to do that is because the revo won't let you adb remount...don't know why but push in recovery has worked for me sometimes I head to use root explorer to manually move it to where it needs to be like it might get put in /data and not /data/app

thank Beamer9408 for the quick reply
i'll downgrade to v4/root and try the adb later tonite
pushing adb work like a charm i got MyBackup back and tried reinstall some of my backup app+data and reinstall the system data that i backed up earlier
thanx beamer9408
but instead of pulling the app from adb i just google searched the MyBackup and revotoolkit and push through adb. it worked fine my revo instantly reconized the app i'd push and i didn't have to go into recovery
then i rebooted hoping it'll fix the issues but nope it didnt fix anything, the apps i backup is still there but i can't download/update/install apps from the market but the amazon appstore and browser can still download but it won't install also
so i don't what happened to my revo and why it won't install anything on it but i can push apps through adb
also it didn't fix the usb and other problems too i still have to have the phone turned off w debug and internet connection on then turn it back on inorder for it to be reconnize by the pc
any other ideas i can try before i return the phone? so we can try to solve it incase it happens to some other revo owners so they have somewhere to go to fix it
since i'll reflash revolt 1.5 again just to play with it some more, do anyone know about that v6 or v8 supercharger script thats suppose to help speed up the phone? and how would i apply it?
just wanna do some experimenting
I don't think we can use the super charge script

i've tried the v6 supercharge a few times last nite and i can't seem to load it with script manager
each time i try to load it the script manager it just go into force close even if i rebooted the revo
someone did do it on the revo posted in this link at the bottom of the tread and i did follow all directions too, didn't work

it's wierd that each app i transfer to sd with the app " app2sd " will work but once i reboot, when i try to run the apps that i move to sd shows a message " cannot run application not install " and it won't show on the app drawer
is that a issue w revolt 1.5 or goLauncherEx?
another thing is while i try to transfer each app to sd with app2sd, the 1st try always says " error cannot move to sd " but on 2nd try it'll work? why it do that? is it because revolt 1.5 not really compatible with the app2sd app?
I'm using all of those apps and haven't had that problem

got my replacement last nite then did the whole routine again, downgrade v4> root s1c v2.1.1> flash revolt 1.5 w/o any issues played with it for a while before i load the v6 supercharger script
i installed the busybox installer app and install the 1.18.2 busybox version then load the v6 supercharger script through script manager and it works but i didnt notice much difference before and after the v6 supercharger maybe the revolt is already fast as is
i tried using the app2sd again and it didnt play nice w same issues as on my other revo so i downloaded the " gemini app manager " and it worked like a charm
i tend to like the gemini more not only it works but also i can move a batch of apps to sd instead of doing 1 at a time, also it have a block function that is same as freeze
so i don't need too many app
can't wait to see what the revo devs can do with GB rolling out tonite and hopefully mtmichealson and thecubed can get the cm7 ported over to the revo
since i still have both revo i'll try to update the 1 i'm going to send back to GB and play with before i send it back

I can't flash it yet because my computer is in the repair shop and I never do anything risky with my phones unless my computer is nearby

Okay. I wonder if anyone has tried this yet.

Well Im very new at modding Droid X, but I have an important question...
Is the hdmi fully working?
Or is there any rom which make it work as it should?
I mean something like a mirror.
Thanks!
Downloading Now. I just hope it's for the rooted .621 Non-Milestone hack. The Milestone hack (for root) is .604.

Update:
First I tried it without gapps. Everything booted fine, but there was no market nor would accounts/ sync let me add Google account.
So, I rebooted into recovery, which worked fine, and flashed gapps.
This time on boot, I actually got the Droid X welcome screen, was able to put in Google info, and market initiator ran and updated.
After that everything worked fine.
Tested Bluetooth, Messages, Gps and Calls. Didn't get chance to try Wifi yet, but I'm sure it works since everything-else does.
The only thing that Would be better is an updated Superuser. The 1 included will NOT update SU Binary. I think it's the old edify binary. Even by updating Superuser in the market WON'T help. Although an easy fix is to get RootUninstaller and uninstall Rom Superuser, then download new 1 from the market and install.
Keep up the hard work. Nice Rom.
Finally, does this works for any other gb kernel besides .621?
Anybody please tell us!
Nope, but maybe yes

Nope, but I may have a bad download as I forgot to check the Md5 sum before I flashed. Install was aborted. I can't try again right now because I have another phone to flash and have to go to bed early tonight.
And thank your for the review I've been waiting for a review like that I've created a couple roms and no one has have gave me so much input

No prob Kiladar. I think if someone is going to comment on someones work, they should at least review it and be as informative as possible. It makes it easier
on the devs to look at potential probs/fixes too.
Oh yea, I also got to looking into your system/app folder in your zip. The vending.apk is Not in there, which i would say is why I had to flash the gapps. Just wanted you to know.
Also there is no "boot.img" (which is kernel right?) in the new dwnload.
Right, I will update OP saying to flash gapps rather then say not needed

wifi works just fine with it, and I agree bout the updated superuser since you cant uninstall the one you have with it which means you also cant update to the new superuser because they are different volumes but over all nice ROM.:good:

I had it working on mine but my .605 was the .621/.605 deodexed hacked version cause I was on the .621 before I did the work around on the magic 5 route, originally I did the .604 work around but it should work on the .605 stock rooted, but then again I was also running the kernel for the .621 sooooo if the kernel is the key for running it maybe you cant.
Try another download, maybe you did get a bad DL

I tried this again but, I think the real problem is with my microSD card. I have subsequently tried to flash other roms and have had other aborts as well. I know that the md5's on those checked out. I was able to flash a cm9 based rom and got it set up just fine. All this from the same card on the same phone. Sooo I am attempting to format the card just in case I have bad sectors or something.
Luckily my DX is no longer activated and just keeps me from killing my SGS3 with flashes.:silly:

I hear ya, I had the same prob with sd card so i formatted mine as well, problem was still there though. whenever i tried to install a rom from sd card via rom manager the problem was i kept getting the message saying waiting for sd cart to mount then it would say error bla bla bla sending log file to cwm ect ect ect.... i dont know exactally how i fixed that, all i know is i installed another rom, like cm7 or cm9 for instance and after that whenever i went to back up rom it worked fine ever since.... maybe something flashes over correcting the sd card problem when you install a rom... I know rom manager checks to verify the marker on sd card and thats what your problem is I believe.
Try doing this, try installing a rom cm7/cm9 without making a backup (i know you could lose everything if it fails but its the only way i know that fixed mine) after you have installed cm7/9 go to rom manager and hit the Backup Current Rom it should reboot you to cwm recovery and make an auto backup, if it does this without throwing up the waiting for sd card to mount error stuff and it runs the backup program and then reboots you it should fix your sd card problems.....
Review this rom
this is by far a ROM with the least lag by far i tried liquid ICS and plenty others don't know what it is but the lag is really minimal runs really smooth i only have this for like 3 hours but will update soon
pls hit thanks if i helped
