This is probably something simple I'm doing wrong, but since I don't really know what I'm doing; none of this is simple to me, lol. I'm running 2.2 trying to do the Facebook fix. I'm just trying to delete the Facebook apk through adb, but when I hit "adb remount" it says "remount failed: Invalid argument"
What am I missing?
Nevermind: As soon as i posted this, I figured it out, lol. The phone was in recovery when I was trying it earlier, so I tried it fully booted and it worked fine. Is that normal?

That's normal because while you're in recovery, the system hasn't loaded yet, and the 'remount' command isn't available at that time. I'm not 100% sure, but someone, please correct me if I'm wrong

I recently aquired a Streak 7 and am having trouble resetting it since it has all the original owners info on it.
1. I encountered a force close error upon first boot.
- android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly
2. After this error continued to appear I said F*** this and rebooted into the Stock Dell recovery(Volume + and Power)
I chose option 3 for a factory reset and erase internal tablet storage.
Rebooted and Bam same bull**** errors. I did this 3 more times powering off with the pin hole off button after the streak kept booting with this error.
I read this entire forum development and general questions to see what problems others are having, I came across a few threads all very informative on how to attempt to restore your Streak 7.
Before attempting the various methods of either NVFlash, the fastboot method and even flashing clockwork recovery through fastboot I figured I would see what I could get the Streak to do in it's current state.
*Note* I am very familiar with ADB and Fastboot but if I over looked something I will not be offended if anyone can provide some useful information.
OK, Here is my story
I put the streak on my HDMI dock and was able to succefully install the ADB drivers on Windows 7 x64. From there I launched the ADB Shell
c:/androidsdk/tools> adb shell
$
once in the shell i found I could launch the android setting using this command
$ am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
Once in the settings and periodically hitting forceclose and quit to the .acore error I was able to retrieve this information

I also realized that I can install apps through adb so I went and installed the latest standalone ADW Launcher which installs fine and allows me to actually use the device a little.
c:\androidsdk\tools>adb install launcher.apk
1307 KB/s (2533717 bytes in 1.892s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/launcher.apk
Success
You will notice that apps install to this location
/data/local/TMP
it turns out that even installing the new launcher won't allow me to do much because the previose owner changed his google password so I have no market acces or anything like that.
I then tried doing the factory reset within the Android settings>privacy>factory data reset.
The device reboots and I again encounter the same error and the device has also not reset the user data.
So i rooted the device and found that even root was only temporary, the ADB shell returns the # sign indicating that it has root, great but when the device is rebooted it returns to the condition I got it in.
If I run ADB remount with root I get this
c:\androidsdk\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
c:\androidsdk\tools>
this tells me that even though the phone has root it will not mount any file system with read/write permissions
I then installed the latest free Clockwork Rom Manger via ADB
it prompts me for root permissions I select allow and then the app closes after it downloads and tries to write the clockwork recovery image. I said fine this won't work.
I moved on to the Flashing Clockwork Recovery via Fastboot
In Fastboot I get this
c:\androidsdk\tools>fastboot devices
? fastboot
c:\androidsdk\tools>fastboot -i 0x413C flash recovery clockwork.img
sending 'recovery' (4416 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.560s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.110s]
finished. total time: 0.670s
c:\androidsdk\tools>
WOW I didn't know that 4MB could be sent and flashed over usb in under a second!!!! WTF!!!!!
So obviously there is something going on here where I cannot write to the internal memory...
I decided to just use NVFlash because people seem to be having luck with it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018809
I Didn't.......
I spent a hell of a lot of time downloading and redownloading the different images and finally got them all downloaded successfully. I run the restore.bat file and it says everything went fine but it didn't, I tried NVFlash with and without P14.img and it just doesn't seem to do anything it always restores it to how it was when i got it errors and all.
Now for the best method I tried, the fastboot method by flashing boot_orig.img, recovery_orig.img and system_orig.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011654
Flash_image is not and ADB Shell command
and I also don't beleive the images are writing to the disc that fast.
I'm tired of typing now so please if anyone has any info on how I can write information to the internal ROM memory not the internal sd card I would greatly appreciate it.

Bump for a resolution. A lot of folks seem to be encountering this issue; I think it has something to do with a Linux failsafe measure (from another thread), but I'm not savvy enough in Linux to know for sure. Good luck to you!
Hey Thanks for the Bump, I am tearing my hair out over thins thing.
On another note I found this post for the LG GX2 for flashing clockwork recovery through APX with NVFLASH
http://www.techofweb.com/technology/flashing-cwm-recovery-g2x.html
I hope there might be a way to do this on the Streak, but I don't know that much about NVFlash. My hope in getting the clockwork recovery is that the restore and recovery tools used in clockwork recovery will in theory allow me to format and write roms to the internal memory...... I hope
Anyway I hope someone is reading and understanding my trouble other than Z4nd4r

I've been having similar problems with my streak7. It was working fine on stock 2.2.2 then got stuck in boot loop at the "stick together" screen.
I tried to factory reset in recovery. No change.
I tried to restore with nvflash. It completed fine, but no change.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018809
I tried with fastboot (boot.img, restore.img and system.img). It completed fine, no change.
I tried the 2.2.2 update.pkg in recovery, but it stops at "install modem error", no change.
I tried to flash DJ_Steve's honeycomb, and it stops at:
Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait... FAILED!
command failure: create failed (bad data)
bootloader status: partition table is required for this command (code: 8) message: nverror:0x2 (0x2) flags: 0
I tried formatting all partitions with:
nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --format_all
then restore with nvflash
It completes with no errors, but still no change.
I also tried to get clockwork on the streak 7 with fastboot. Even though I didn't get any errors, clockwork recovery did not get installed. So I'm thinking it's some sort of write protect error, since nothing I write to the device seems to be sticking.
If I format all partitions, would the streak 7 even get to the t-mobile "stick together" logo? I would think it would get stuck at the dell logo. I'm stuck at this point and have no idea what to try next. Any suggestions?
Could the problem be due to previous owner(s) trying to root the DS7 and Dell had implemented some kind of security measure to prevent rooting of the DS7?
Bump for a real solution.
I found a solution and my solution was to sell it before I threw it against a wall.
What's the common denominator, here? Were these all purchased used/3rd party?
Mine was bought new and ran great till mothers day and my sis asked to use it to post pics to facebook so I unmounted my sd and gave it to her she poped in her 32 gig sd card and got tired of waiting for the the gallery to populate and ejected the card without unmounting it and handed it back to me and said it was junk an and slow .......ever since its been stuck in read only
Ive dissasymbled it formated it flashed it factory reset it and reguardless of what I do still comes back the same as though I hadnt touched it.......even tried to short the nand chip out to clear it..........its like a cockroarch thats wounded .....it just wont finish dieing
I think we need a jtag solution. Doesn't seem like anything done with current tools will help.
I've scoured the internet and turned up nothing.
My streak 7 is collecting dust and probably going on eBay soon. To hell with Dell. This is my first Dell android device and probably my last.
Edit: found information
So I found the datasheet for the NAND chip the Streak 7 uses (http://omapworld.com/iNAND_e_MMC_4_41_IF_data_sheet_v1_0[1].pdf). Aparently the NAND has a write protect feature (temporary and permanent). Tech5 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113264 says there's a failsafe function that locks the NAND in write protect mode. I don't have the hardware expertise to dig down and see if the system is write protecting the system by locking the chip in write protect mode. If we can somehow figure out how to disable the write protect on the chip, we may have a solution. Maybe someone with good hardware knowledge can take a look and give some feedback?
I'm having this same issue over here. I've tried NVFLASH and Fastboot and it acts like it's happening and then you reboot and get back to the same image every time. Maybe time for a call to Dell on this?
Call Dell
It looks like these Streaks are all stock and having the same problem. I tried calling dell but they wouldn't help me because the streak I got doesn't have the flap for the sd card and that is where they say the Service Tag is written. Freaking BullSh!t. Anyway if someone is willing to call dell and see what they have to say that would be awesome.
Dell is the only solution?
I had a same problem too. No matter what I do, the unit reverts back. It became Read-Only Mode. I guess it happens often enough DELL aware of this problem and the tech supports knows what to do. Only way to fix the unit at this point is ship it back.
I shipped back to Dell and Dell repaired it. Turn Around time: 1 Week.
This is my 1st post.
I do have Streak 5 and 7. I love Streak 5 and DJ Steve's ROM Rocks in Streak 5.

I'm on the phone with Dell right now about this as I can't find another solution and another user had to get theirs repaired. We'll see what they say.
Solution to write protect?
I was trying to copy some music to mine and got the write protect error message. I took out the micro SD card holder and it indeed was locked. Flipped the switch and back in business! Hope this helps someone!
I wonder if it is newer streaks that are doing this, because I think mine was in stock with Tmobile for a while. They had plenty of them there. They must be "Locking the bootloader" so to speak. If anyone wants to send one to a Dev maybe they can do something about it.
any luck with this any 1? =(
I had a similar issue last week, it looks to be the "Read-Only" Bug. I had to send mine back to Dell, and they just sent me a new unit.
Whatever you do, make sure your DS7 does NOT hit 0% battery, it seems to be the cause of this "Ready-Only" bug.
Hey guys, having a big problem here. Pretty much what the title says. I got my new (used) XT862 this morning, it had been reset to a fresh rom and wasn't rooted. I was so excited to finally get it that I started modding straight away.
First of all, I forgot to jot down the exact version number of the rom. I know already this was really stupid, but I can't do anything about it now... It was 2.3.4... I'm guessing it might have been the original 890? Is there any way to find this out from the recovery menu?
I'll try to describe what I did as completely as possible, I don't know if something might have gone wrong during the process or what.
First I installed Safestrap 3.05 from this link, not realizing that I had to have root (duh). It seemed to install fine, then when I ran it I got the standard "stopped responding" error with the "force close" button.
I then rooted it using Motofail, first I forgot to switch to root on my PC and it stopped at "daemon started successfully" so I hit CTRL+C until it dumped me back to the command line. Then I changed users on my desktop with su, ran it again and it worked perfectly, the superuser app on the phone showed up and it was operating normally.
(Here's what happened the first time I ran Motofail from my non-root user acct, I had to hit CTRL+C twice, once after "daemon started successfully, once after "waiting for phone to reboot" at which I rebooted the phone manually. Was still booting fine at this point.)
Code:
[*]

^C
After rooting it was still booting fine so I think the problem was not there. Once everything was finished and I was back at the home screen I re-ran Safestrap which appeared to be running normally. I was planning to install Minimoto but I ran "create recovery image" first which I figured couldn't hurt. Well, Safestrap worked for a minute, then crashed (the "not responding - force close" error screen came up) and trying to run it again just crashed it immediately.
I did nothing else, just rebooted the phone not realizing the crash had apparently messed up my bootloader? Now I just get a boot loop, it plays the little Droid animation over and over again.
When I boot into the menu with M+power I don't get a Safestrap menu, and running "recovery" from there just gives me a screen with an /!\ icon and the Android character. I get the same screen if I try to boot with X+power.
I've tried to download the fast unbrick rom from here but neither of the links work... The old Dropbox link is long gone and the new Mediafire mirror says its allotment of 10 free downloads per week has been exceeded... infuriating!
Can anyone give me some advice or steer me in the right direction? I was so excited to get my new phone, I'll be heartbroken if I've managed to brick it for good! I don't want to do anymore damage without advice... please help?
********** // **********
EDIT: I found a mirror for fast/easy unbrick and that worked, so I'm now back to the stock 890 rom with functional bootloader and am much relieved. Two questions though:
1 - Can anyone shed some light on what went wrong during the safestrap process that bricked the phone? Was the fact that I tried to install it before I rooted it the cause?
2 - There is still a /safestrap directory on my internal storage (containing only the files "active_slot" and "translate"), should I delete this? Are there other bits of Safestrap left behind that I should get rid of too?
I will eventually try again as I'd really like to run Minimoto on this thing but I want to understand what I did wrong first.
Any info appreciated, thanks!

1. I'm not sure why, but I can tell you that I have rooted using Motofail and installed Safetrap 3.05 multiple times without issue. Also, you should realize that Safestrap creates its /system, /data, and /cache directories for each ROM slot on "internal storage", so you need to make sure that you keep enough space there to fit the ROM slots. It's pretty much a given that you should use an external SD card and have the camera app, etc., store data on external SD rather than internal storage. I'd also avoid running apps on "internal storage".
2. It won't hurt to delete those files.
So, you should be able to:
- clear out enough storage on "internal storage". Make sure that you have at least 1 GB more than the data partition you want to create available, though I would want more
- enable USB debugging and root using Motofail
- *then* install Safestrap and install recovery
- do a full reboot to make sure that both the Safestrap menu pops up and the phone restarts fully without looping, etc. (In other words, make sure that stock boots and runs fine.)
- then create a ROM slot, activate it, flash Minimoto and have fun.
Well, went back through the whole process and it went great the second time. Now have Minimoto 1.7 running on a 3 GB partition (probably way overkill??) I'm really enjoying the minimalism in this release, no more sifting through pages of uninstallable crap in the menu to get the stuff I actually use. The extra speed & free memory makes a nice bump up from the HTC Dream (with 1.5 Cupcake!) this phone replaces.
Thanks for the advice, still no idea what went wrong the first time but I'm happy it's working how I want now.
This all started with issues with my TouchPad 32MB. A while back I installed CM10/Android. Worked fine for months. Then started having issues where changes made on Android were lost after a reboot. I installed an App and it worked...if I rebooted the App was no longer there. If I updated apps...they worked fine...until I rebooted, then all the updates were gone like I never even loaded them. Loaded a ePub book and could read with no issues...agin, until I rebooted, then the book was gone. Then started having issues with Google Play..."Google Play has stopped".
So I decided to try to Uninstall Android. Followed all the onlie instruction to the tee. Went into USB mode, ran ACMSUninstaller2, screen flipped through a bazillion lines of code (noticed some errors but goes by so fast cannot get them). Rebooted...Android still there. I just can't seem to make any permanent changes on the Touchpad. Any changes are gone once I reboot. Same thing for booting up under WebOS. Add app via PreWare, install them, they work. Reboot and they are gone.
Help! Not sure what the issue is. Any help is greatly appreciated. I love my TP and dont want to have to go buy a new tablet. I am a little bit of a noob with Linux and this stuff...so please give me good directions.
Thanks in advance.
Update: I have even tried doing the reload suggested at this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244
But even when I attempt to remove the paritions, they remain...it says they remove them, but when I execute the vcreate commands as noted, it says the /dev/store already exists (after I did the remove)!
It's like the whole filesystem is locked.
Hi, I have two Kindle Fire HD 7 inch, I think both are the older model. Until recently, one was bricked after i rooted but it started getting random restarts after being fine for months. I decided to try flashing a custom ROM, but due to following a YouTube video and not loading the ROM first before flashing, my fault as I mid heard the instructions, it died and I didn't know enough to reliase it could be fixed with a factory cable. I got a replacement and due to a **** up at Amazon, I managed to keep the broken one also.
I decided to root the newer one a few weeks in but months later it started having issues with dolphin browser constantly restarting, so I decided to buy a factory cable as a precusion and flash it to cyanogenmod. Everything went well so i dawned on me that I could fix the first one with my cable. I managed to fix with instructions from here and then flashed as well. Everything seemed to work fine until it started randomly restarting. Then it would get stuck at the blue kindle logo, would still allow me into twrp, so cleared dalvik and everything else and reflashed, it would load as newly flashed, but end up restarting again and eventually getting stuck at the blue logo again. I've seen a few threads with similar problems but couldn't find one that matched the circumstance.
So, my question, it this likely a hardware issue as it did get dropped once or twice in its short working life, or is it a software issue and something I could fix ???

i can take a few guesses at what would be causing a random reboot, i know dolphin can, i don't know why you would need to reflash to fix it though, thats very unusual unless maybe a filesystem error was causing it but it shouldnt have the same error everytime, i could suggest scanning the system partition for errors from recovery, i'd have to grab the command you'd need to run through adb. you dmesg would tell you if there were filesystem errors probably, mine was telling me about them so i finally got around to fixing them. i will mention i know dolphin can cause it to reboot randomly, i have had it happen before, i think it draws too much power trying to run it and causes the crash, not positive though.
On a side note you may want to rename the thread to 2012 kindle, the 2013 one is not rom-able, only rootable.
Did you overclock the processor?

Sorry, your right, its the 2012, I just noticed that the 2013 doesn't have a front camera. As for dolphin, I uninstalled a bunch of times with the same result, but I like it because the flash player works well once set up properly. It always starts off fine then gets progressively more unstable on my working kindle. I don't know much about adb, just the basics but have KindleFireFirstAid and other programs that used the fix permission errors. I haven't got round to trying them get though as the kindle normally wont stay on long enough.
When it was just rooted, the kindle would still restart so I was hoping that flashing might fix it in case it was something I had done wrong.
Oh, and I haven't over clocked, I signed into play store and allowed it to download all my girlfriends crap so she could use it for a while while her galaxy tab goes into the shop as it has the red charging cross issue.

As for dolphin, I uninstalled a bunch of times with the same result, but I like it because the flash player works well once set up properly. It always starts off fine then gets progressively more unstable on my working kindle. I don't know much about adb, just the basics but have KindleFireFirstAid and other programs that used the fix permission errors. I haven't got round to trying them get though as the kindle normally wont stay on long enough.
When it was just rooted, the kindle would still restart so I was hoping that flashing might fix it in case it was something I had done wrong.

you mind booting it up into a os and running this from a command prompt?
Code:
adb shell dmesg > log.txt
you will need to have a command prompt cd'd into the directory of adb, so either in a kffa folder or srt folder will do, anything that came with adb really. if you don't know much about command prompt then do this: shift + right click the folder with adb, hit "open command window here", then run that command.

I normally go from the SDK platform tools folder to check the device is coming up, does that work?

Ok, i tried and it and it just shows the command line again. Have killed and restarted server but no difference
C:\Users\Kirsty\Desktop\SDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
D025A0A024060MRL device
C:\Users\Kirsty\Desktop\SDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell dmesg > log.txt
C:\Users\Kirsty\Desktop\SDK\sdk\platform-tools>
update: I have noticed that when plugged into my laptop, the Kindle will stay on indefinitely, but when I unplug or not long after, the Kindle then restarts, especially when im doing something like searching the web or opening apps, so could it be a power source problem?

think the filesystem is ok not seeing any errors...another thing you could do is leave the device plugged into the pc with this running
Code:
adb shell "su -c 'cat /proc/kmsg'"
and whenever it reboots just copy and paste the last lines it outputted.
