Restore dell streak 7 (wifi only) using nvflash - Dell Streak 7

So I actually posted a thread detailing how to restore the Streak 7(Wifi only) back to stock. I put it into general in the main forum instead of under the streak 7 forum. So I am placing this here to lead to that post.

Thank you again to you and all the others contibutors !

Yes, you can.

when i double click the restore.bat file the command prompt windows starts up and it looks like its running some commands and then disappears. i have successfully installed the drivers and edited the restore file. cant figure it out.

If you are running Win 7, try running the .bat file as administrator.

open up the device manager on your computer and push both volume button and then plug the streak in to the computer. if the list flashes its seeing something.

ok, so the computer sees it... but when i click update drivers and navigate to where the driver is located, it says "windows was unable to find the drivers"

mine did the same thing. it took me a few tries.

How can I tell if the device is in apx mode? Besides the computer seeing it... Like does the device flash or vibrate or anything?

so i used this method on my US 4g model... and it worked with exception of the backspace button ( <- arrow button) not working.. even asked and recognized a simple mobile sim then asked for a network unlock
but i would like to upgrade to HC... and the wifi updates do not come to the 4G models...
so im going to try install CWM from market and try the "Official-HC-Stage1" and "Official-HC-Stage2" zips and see how this works out

well, the install seems fine so far.. just experiencing the crashing of the android.process.acore issue

Hi there
multiupload is down. Could someone PLZ post the wifi only files as i have (wasn't even drunk!) flashed t-mobile version and am now very pissed

Thats fine. Once you begin rooting it should start the adb service and find your device. Just follow the instructions.

I would recommend superoneclick by CLShortfuse for the actual rooting. Works great, and you can enable non market apps with the same program. One note, in the top right of the box that opens, you will have to choose either "psneuter" or "rage...cage". I think most people choose the rage option, but psneuter is chosen by default.

1) restart computer
2) uninstall drivers you have now for the phone. Download the new version (1.8)
3) Try again, and good luck.
Final thought, did you enable usb debugging?

Root OF /sdcard, it means the main directory ... Not in any folders.
So I put it on the internal sd(no a folder) then boot in to recovery and just re-install packages. Done

If you run this and it doesn't root you try wiping data from Setting>privacy and wipe the internal storage as well. I did that and it worked for me. Granted I didn't try this method without wiping my internal. If nothing else it cleans it up for you.

Ok, so whatever changes you made ... it seems to work better in a virtual windows environment
Before it would get stuck at "daemon started succesfully"
now it goes through to "Installing Root Tools..."
but then I get a string of error messeages
either "device offline" or "device not found"
then "cleaning up" ... device not found
then "rebooting" ...device not found
then it freezes
when I unplug my device or toggle debugging mode it continues to say "root complete"
.... so close.
So If I'm rooted on Z4? then I still need to unroot and upgrade to Z6 for this to work?
Thanks a lot man for such this easy one-click-root tool.

I need help 2.2.2 bad os

I've been searching and searching.
I have a dell streak 7 with 2.2.2. Its very corrupt. It won't save settings, gets multiple force closes, gets a wifi error and won't uninstall apps.
It won't even factory delete in stock recovery.
I'm baffled and need some help. I can't root get apps etc for some reason.

I'm reading up on adb and how to install it. Some pointers would be nice as I'm trying to help my friend who messed his thing up.
Thanks in advance whoever can help me.
Couple things id like to add to maybe help anyone who decides to help me.
Factory reset in the os as well as both in stock recovery do nothing.
Most of the apps force close.
he took his sd card out. I can use mine though if needed.
He doesn't care about any data lost.
Anything I delete or undo setting for example will be redone as soon as phone is rebooted or setting is closed.
Wifi says error.
It is a tmobile streak 7 my sim card does work and it gets a signal but nothing else does.
Some solutions I thought of is. Try to find a full stock os
Flash someone else nandroid.
Sbf to stock.
Hence why iam reading on adb. On my phone I use terminal emulator so I have no idea how to use sdk and adb.
Sorry if I. Sound noob. Iam to this device .

Okay I Read this already. It doesnt help me very much. I have the fastboot drivers but I do not have fastboot.exe in the adk.
The ADK does not come with it, and I've searched for it and found nothing that would help me for a dell streak. So if you could post the link to the right fastboot becuase in cmd it tells me fastboot is not a recognized as a internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
I cannot use ADB becuase I cannot check usb debugging it unchecks after I exit the dev section. Yes my ADB is setup right I can use it on my mt4gs perfectly.
Im dling the nvflash method now.
Update.
NvFlash method did not work.

I agree. Your symptoms sound very similar to what I was experiencing on my t-mobile Streak 7. I sent it to Dell for repair and it works great now. Takes about 2 weeks for the whole process.
Call Dell support and they will eventually tell you that you need to send it in after having you try several things over the phone. They will ship you a box and pay for the postage to send it to Mexico.
Good luck.

Please help lg wants to charge me,phone in test mode

So I got a lg revolution off of craigslist. The phone says its in test mode, and has the lg hidden menu enabled. I can not mount it to the computer because of this. It also charges slow as crap, like really slow. The phone on Verizons end is seen as a non verizon device for some reason. Called lg and they said I need to send it in and they will fix it for 40 to 100 dollars. Anyone have any idea how to get it out of test mode. Please help.

Try powering it off, press and hold volume up (not down like recovery), press and hold the power button. Continue to hold both and hopefully it will enter download mode. Once there make sure you have proper drivers installed, and try to push zv7 with lgnspt.

Ok, so figured i need a quick reply
I used this toolkit, unlocked bootloader fine, but when i go to root, it gets stuck on 'Waiting for your device to finish booting back up...' on the PC and 'Booting Downloaded image' on my nexus
Do i have to manually reboot?
Is it safe to stop the process now?
Thanks

Wugfresh's toolkit works fine, and is a perfectly good choice for those new to Android who don't want to take the chance they'll mistype something in the command line.
This happened to me using the toolkit as well, I think the problem lies with the USB drivers, which can get confused or lose sync. Just power off your Nexus and try the procedure again from the start. Make sure you plug it into one of the USB ports on the back of your motherboard rather than going through a hub.

Now that Asus has posted official USB drivers you may want to uninstall the ones provided by the toolkit and use those instead.
I found this toolkit great, try using a manual root. Theres a guide in dev section

Try this first
Try downloading supersu or superuser from the market, along with an app whih requires root permissions, such as titanium backup. After installing supersu, try running titanium backup, hopefully it will give you the prompt to grant permissions, and then you wont have to reroot.
