i just bought a DS7 today i rooted it, installed CWM and flashed DJ Steves StreakDroid v1.3 Rom but now when i try to go to recovery(+ & Power) or the bootloader(- & Power) the dell logo flashes and the LED flashes red then it powers off again. Can anyone point me to the right direction to get back into recovery? tnx
This is how I got mines back and running after days of trying everything posted on th
1. I used NvFlash with all 14 partions.
2. entered fastboot and install the system_orig then the boot_orig and recovery_orig.
3. reboot using fastboot command.
4. your ds7 should reboot and stay. @ the dell logo. using the pin hole shutdown the ds7 then power it back on holding the volume + button and power buttons. this should take you into original recovery. hit reset data user only. all should be back to nornal tmobile boot animation will load and u should have an unrooted 2.2.2 original rom.
I hope this helps it help me after trying everything all i need to do was reset factory data (user only as to not erase your internal SD. good luck. and pm my if you need any help. you can the root thru fastboot with CWM.
enjoy
also make sure ur dell is fully charged. use the pin hole by the sd card slot to shut down the streak the use nvflash. or you could try a restore using fastboot. if you can get in to fastboot you should be able to reinstall all orig files. you can then in stall CW using fastboot method. check the general forun look for nvflash restore. goodluck
Hey guys thanks for your help so I figured out whqt was wrong oddly enough if the dell streqk is below 65 percent it wont allow to boot to the bootloader.....

I have searched other posts and not found my same problem, so excuse me if I repeat another thread.
I have a rooted g1 running superfly v1.2 D/S. I tried to use Rom Manager to flash another ROM, but upon reboot it never flashed, it just stayed at the T-mobile/G1 boot screen.
I then took out the battery, and tried to do a manual reboot to recovery (power+home) and I never got into recovery mode, it just stayed at the G1 screen again.
I then tried fastboot (power+camera) but that took me no where. My only options were to shutdown, go back to hboot, reset data, and one other thing I can't remember.
When I take out the battery and then power back on again, it boots up the superfly ROM and starts up normally.
My Question is how can I get into recovery mode to flash a different ROM, and why doesn't it work through ROM Manager?
Looks like your recovery got erased...you have two options....
1. Setup fastboot on you PC, flash a new recovery from fastboot. this is the best and safe method...
2. flash a recovery from terminal...you might have to do this step multiple times...flash recovery...power off the phone, power on holding home button and see if you have working recovery...if not restart the phone and flash again...
I would go with 1st option.

Most likely your recovery is corrupted. Flashing a recovery from within CM5/CM6 is not working well, so you need to flash a new recovery using fastboot.
When in fastboot mode, you can "control" your phone from your pc using the fastboot command. For this you need to connect your phone to your pc by USB.
Search here for the ADB/Fastboot threat, where you will find further information.

Hi all you clever guys I need your help!
Yesterday I decided to try making myself a new theme for my O2X and now I'm stuck in boot.
I have flashed my phone many times before but now I feel like an idiot.
Please advice me on how to save my phone.
After making the theme using a theme generator I found here on XDA I installed the zip file via Recovery mode and booted my phone. It then looped in the LG startup image.
I wiped the phone and ran back up in Recovery mode then tried rebooting but no luck.
I have also tried to flash with my last used Custom ROM but the phone is now stuck in boot and only shows the screen with the LG logo and process bar.
Please advice me on what I can do to save my phone.
On top of it all I have a problem with my PC so I can not install the LG PC suite SW and can not connect my phone to the PC via USB.
Why on earth did I do this....
Dont worry at all, are you sure you have wiped your data and cache partition? Do this and then flash some ROM (can recommend latest CM7 build).
If its a no go, you can always flash original firmware with nvflash (there's a tutorial for this, just look it up)
Hope I helped
All you need to do is reflash the current rom you are using now without a wipe and that will fix you problem.
If you get bootloop from something you have just flashed just reflash the current rom without a wipe and that will fix ya problem, for next time hey????
Can you get in to recovery??
Hi
Thanks for your inputs and help! Currently downloading NVFlash on my PC and will try it out.
Yes I can enter recovery by pressing vol down key and power button at the same time. (thank Good for that!)
do a full wipe in recovery and flash the rom of your choice, just make sure you have the correct ext 3 or 4 or you will get bootloop
After trying the update(made cwm backups btw) the phone is in a reboot loop cycle. However, I can't get back into CWM in order to restore the backup i made or even the revo_stock or the stockrooted zip. I can get into the OS to the point where it wants me to select a language then it tries to find the SIM and fails completely and reboots. If i pull the battery and try to boot from the power on the USB it will reboot to the LG logo then instantly reboot again... Ideas anyone?
cliffs:
-backed up in cwm
-tried to install gingervolt
-stuck in reboot mode
-cannot access cwm to restore
Did you wipe data both times MT said? Maybe try wiping again?
Did you try flashing from a froyo ROM?
Wiped date both before and after the flash of gingervolt. I was using the decrapped rom 1.1
I would happily go back and try to clear the data again, however i cannot access CWM in order to do so after the gingervolt flash... Even using the power button+volume down i get no access...

I had the same thing happen to me. Although once it rebooted i was able to bypass the setup process and just manually do it from the home screen.
If you can't even get past the LG logo without it rebooting, I also had that happen to me on my last phone a few months ago. I called Verizon and they said that they had reports of other phones doing that too. Unfortunately I never figured out how to fix it. The problem was that it never stayed on long enough for the computer to recognize it.
Flashing Gringerbread ROMS from froyo breaks this phone. I did that same thing
restoring a back up is what you need how to get there idk
I haven't had much luck getting the phone to do anything, it will stay turned on for ~2-3 minutes then instantly reboot...

CWM reboot loop
Use this zip from thecubed it works wonders.
My phone would not go past reboot option in CWM
Search fast boot loop thread for further instructions on how to use it.
I pulled the SD card from my Revo and used it in my old win mobile Omnia so it would mount on my PC then I copied the zip onto the stuck Revo card.
Well after a few hours of tinkering i got her working... CWM never wanted to register but finally after about 100 tries of power on+vol it actually caught and booted into cwm. from there it was a cake walk until i got into gingervolt and it refused to allow the phone to come out of airplane mode(why this was even on is beyond me). after about 4 reboots the phone is working flawlessly...
Ok, so like many others am facing a CMR loop on my DS7.
here are my situation specifics
When I turn on my DS7 it goes straight to the dell logo and then the 3 lights on the face, (home menu back) flash and it goes straight to ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.0.
Volume + and power does not load stock recovery options
Volume - and power does not load fastboot
both volume + and - then usb does not work, win 7 professional does not recognize.
i can access my internal storage via USB storage mount. if i put files on the DS7 they stay there.
I have downloaded NVFlash and the nvidia usb drivers, but am not sure where to extract them too i guess?
This situation came about while trying to flash the HC unbranded US 4G update.
I gingerbroke, achieved root through rom manager, flashed CWM 3.0.2.0, flashed update, and now here i am...
I am tech literate, and can follow directions if they are given clearly, can someone please help (and stay on track, start to finish) or share a link to a concise walk through? i know this issue has been resolved by oth er members but the process is spread across threads, sites, PM's, pdf's... and i just can't follow the trail to the grail.
sincere appreciation and thanks to anyone who is able to shed light. Thanks all.
Ok I think this is whats up. You said you flashed the HC 4g. I had this issue somewhat, what I did was this. I had CWM 3.0 like you. Flashed the HC, then CWM stops working. I used the pinhole to turn off the DS7. Then I - powered on to fastboot. Then I flashed CWM 5.0 (You need to do this using fastboot) once thats up, pin hole it off, then go into CWM again, and factory reset. Then you should be ok.
If that doesnt work. And you are still in CWM 3.0 I would suggest trying to flash the 2.2.2 with Tweaks rom. See if that restores you and dont forget to factory wipe.
So I've had Honeycomb 3.2 on my streak for a few weeks now, and it's been working fine. I decided to do a factory reset and start from scratch in order to give the streak to my wife.
For some reason, after I get the boot screen and select factory reset of user data and internal storage, the streak just goes to a blank screen. The keys do light up, but that's it.
Now I can't even go back to how it was or factory reset. Has anyone had this happen before, and how do I fix it?
thanks
Make sure your tablet is charged above sixty percent.
Yeah I read that somewhere. I charged it until the green light came on. I was able to get into recovery mode. The problem is, once there, I click on factory reset, then nothing. Just a blank screen.
Is there another way of restoring the streak?
Yes there is, go to Settings, Privacy, and Factory Reset.
I can't go into android. Stuck at dell logo screen. When I try volume up and power and click on factory reset, it just shows a blank screen.

In this forum there is a thread titled 514 ROM, this is a complete Honeycomb 3.2 rom. Download the package, save it to an external sd card, rename it "update.pkg" and boot into recovery mode like you did before and choose option 2. This will wipe your tablet and re install Honeycomb.
otnos i really appreciate your help, but the problem is exactly what you just mentioned. when i get into recovery mode, any of the options i pick and press power, the following screen is just blank. nothing happens at all. i can press 2,3,4, or 5 and i just get a blank screen.
can i nvflash the streak and return it to its original state?

You have two options, NVFlash back to whatever ROM you want to run, or you can flash the stock recovery via fastboot and then load the ROM update.pkg to the external SD and boot into recovery and flash the factory package... (the second way is the preferred way in my opinion)
