everthing stock.
2.2.2, wifi version
i cant delete any apps. i tired deleting apps & nothing. I also tried moving them to sd and den formatting SD and same thing. nothing gets deleted. Also formated internal storage and nothing gets deleted. After turning on & off tablet i am able to use it a couple mins then i get "sorry....something something...please try again" and the have to tap on "force quit"
When i select to turn on wifi it just stays light green doesnt turn bright. when i go to settings for wifi. i get "error" on it.
1) did a hard reset. vol + & power button, then selected (1), everthing still the same. notin gets deleted
2) soft reset privacy >> factory reset
3) also tried going into safe mode. power on and waited for 2nd dell logo and press & hold 'settings button'' til safe mode show up. but only for about 1-2 secs and then it jus it virbates and goes back to the 1st logo keeps doing this til i let go. which then im able to see 'safe mode'' words. but then screen turns off and turns on without safe words on it.
what can i do?

I had to send mine to Dell for repairs because it was in read-only mode. Does anybody know how it goes into this mode? Is it just a random event, or does it go into this mode after certain events take place? It sure seems like this happens to the Streak 7 far to often.
what i would like to no dose this just happen to peoples sk7 with clockwork recovery installed or without

if its in read-only mode i have to send it dell to get it to work again or is it possible to fix it myself? Well recently i didnt do anything to it. the most recent thing i did was download some apps but that was about 2 weeks ago (maybe a lil less). those apps were from pocketlengends, where u get free platinum in the game if you download those apps. but tablet worked fine after i installed them.
Could someone with a bricked dell try to run this fsck_msdos -y /dev/block/mmcblk3p3 with adb

Once you tried the factory reset from within Android (in the settings menu) you went into Read Only... its a known issue....
The ONLY thing you can do is send it to DELL for repair

As it happens, I used the power on sequence to reset the next time. Anyway it is a mysterious thing.
since the tablet works for a lil it what if the notification for the honeycomb updates shows up? will upgrading get it out of read only mode?
It would be hard for me to believe that the update to Honeycomb would fix that. BUT I would not rule it out, it's a very interesting theory, but I wouldn't get my hopes up seeing as not even the NVFlash method will bring the Streak out of Read Only mode, nor the NVFlash method to put Honeycomb on it will revive it, but there is always the chance the Honeycomb update would address the issue, I mean it would actually benefit DELL so they wouldn't have so many being sent back, but big companies don't always do what's best for them, much less the consumer. BUT keep your fingers crossed, although sending it off to DELL you would have it back in 14 days, I understand the Honeycomb package rolls out the 7th of October but that remains to be seen

And now I'm boot looping won't go past n color startup animation wth
Sent from my Cyanogen Mod EVO using Tapatalk
I had that problem on my NC when it was rooted. Luckily I had another problem that let me get out by the 8 times reset manual method. Mine would occasionally update itself back to version 1.0.0. When it did that I managed to reset it & now a new NC is on its way to replace this one.
This probably won't help solve the issue but at least it lets you know you're not alone.
Mine boot looped and I did the full 8X reboot thing and then the 3 button data reset. All of that puts you back to "out-of-the-box" stock. You can then redo the autonooter rooting procedure.
Can't get out
I am stuck in a boot loop and cant get out.
First it was stuck on the droid boot animation from the auto config. After I put the autonooter card back in it started looping the rooted boot animation.
Did the 3 button thing and that forced an update but went back to bootlooping the rooted animation.
Then did the 8X reboots manually and that also forced the down arrow update, but then it still bootloops.
I tried getting in from PuTTy (as admin) but it never connects. Do I just use port 22? (to 192.168.2.2 with Data and username as root?)
adb doesn't work... going to bed now and will try again tomorrow after work.
What i had to do to resolve my issue was that was to do the 8x reset to trigger the factory reset of the OS and then do the 3 button reset of the user data. In my case it was a self tweaked issue with an app permisson. If I remember right the key combo is Power+VolUp+"n" key. Try this and let us know.

So ... I left my Nook in what I thought was an "OFF" state last night, only to bring it to work and find it says "Battery too low to Power on" "Please wait 15 minutes and try again"
I think... no worries... plug it in and let 'er sit for an hour.... an hour passes and I'm still getting the same screen.
Is this better or worse? let me see...
1) if it stays like this, I can return/exchange it at B&N and they won't be able to verify that it was rooted due to non-bootiness
2) If it eventually boots, I will have to try to get it out of bootloop.
3) If it comes to life and I can't get it out of bootloop, I will drain the battery again and go back to #1.
Any thoughts besides this current train?
sort of working?
OK....
so after charging on USB port (all I have at work today as I forgot the base to the charger), it will bootloop again... yay!
problem is... the bootloops take too much juice and won't allow me to fail 8 reboots. I can't even charge it up enough since I'm on USB charging and it keeps trying to turn itself on.
2 Options i see:
1) Go home and charge it on the wall and see if that helps
2) Discharge it to death and return within my 30 days (X-mas gift)
Doubt this will work, but have you tried putting in an autonooter sdcard and then plug it into the usb? If it tries to boot maybe it will boot from that sdcard?
Boot from the Froyo SD card, then fix /rom/devconf/BootCnt from ADB.

Try Geezer's tip but do this:
Do three button reset WITH the autonooter card in there.
Got it working
Finally got it working after creating a Nookie Froyo card and booting off of that.
Then I reinstalled ADB on my work computer and reset the BootCnt file to 8...
that successfully restored /system and then the 3 finger trick actually gave an option to wipe.
Now to start over.
New Question: How likely is this hardware related and should I be looking to replace it before my 30 days is up>?

My Nook has been great since the fix. But I also needed to use a program to turn off Wifi when I turn the display off.
I did it all from my Nookie...
confused?!
I was wondering how you fixed this..i have read everywhere, but nothing...im stuck in the nook co screen. This happened right after i plugged my nook to charge after my battery was drained...thnks
I left my streak powered on over night and when i got up this morning the battery was @ 69%. So i started checking e-mail, facebook, twitter, ect. Put the tablet down to get ready for my day, and about 30min later picked up the tablet and it would not power up....anyone has any ideas. I plug it unto the wall charged no light indicator come on or anything
Open the sd/sim card slot and to the left of the sd there is a tiny pin hole get a needle and press it. Its a force off. Maybe something locked up. I left mine on allcday tje other day and got home it was dead and would not turn on until it had about 3% charge. Hopefully the force reset works for ya.

You may want back-up some personal data and do a factor reset on data (not data and internal storage).
Mine never freeze up after I did that.

Don't do it until you hit a problem.
My 10 day old DS7 just froze within hours of being in my kids hands. Found this thread. Thanks for the help. Peace
So now I have 3 DS7 WiFi in my circle.
One has Froyo 2.2.2 no problems.
The other two are running 3.2 and have repeatedly frozen. And continue to freeze requiring pin hole reset, despite having been factory reset.
Is this an issue with 3.2? Is it going to get worse?
Thanks for your input

hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging
Ok I'm trying to compile a list of people that are effected by this problem. Please post in here if your streak has fallen victim to this and you still have it. After we get a decent amount a people I'll try and find a commonality between us and hopefully find the root of the problem.

Sorry, I just missed out. I had to send my Streak 7 to Dell for repair... just got it back last Friday. It has been working great so far.
so all the reading on how many people have had this issue nobody else has one on hand?
Im one of the poor shmuck with read only issue. But I was able to send it to dell, got it replaced. Funny because, I had rooted the crap out of it and installed custom ROMs, and still got it replaced.
Had the same issue, tablet was rooted, couldn't restore to factory settings, called dell and got it fixed,

I was going to start a thread too. I also got a new one back from Dell, but am still intrigued as to what causes the read only thing. Only thing I suspect in my case, was maybe plugging the streak into the dock, while the dock was connected to my already running computer. Maybe the slight "make-break" connections from wiggling the thing around on the connector, caused some kind of malfunction? I also still suspect some kind of virus from who knows where. Or maybe it is just a faulty bunch of memory chips that just went wacko. But I am very curious as to the cause.

I'm not sure it may not even be this "read only" problem that we are calling it. I found another thread in another Tablet's area that he was getting this problem due to the wrong bootloader. Maybe there is a certain batch which is slightly different in design.
I have a corporate test device so sending it in to be serviced is not an option. Though I have a full electronics lab with a JTAG machine so if I have to I can crack this thing open but the machine is no good without software. We do have 2 working streak 7's I'd be willing to read the software from but don't want to open them up yet.
add mine to your list.
dell refuse to repair mine because I bought it from ebay and the machine wasnt registered under my name and the person I bought it from does not reply to any of my emails.

That is odd. I thought I had a problem with the screen, and the Dell rep offered to have the device repaired. I'm the second owner. However this was a rep in the US. I also spoke with a rep (I presume in India), who would not give me the time of day unless I could provide the original owner details and transfer ownership. I got the details, but haven't had a chance to call back.
I gave dell a piece of my mind when they sent the satisfaction survey! If a device has not been reported stolen, then they should support it during the warranty period. Plus, I told them that I won't buy, or recommend to buy through my consulting, any Dell product ever again, because the S7 4G is a DELL product, not T-Mobile, and they were not updating it to HC.
For anyone stuck on a read only device, if you try to fac reset, are you using the stock recovery for the installed rom? (This only applies to devices stuck in read only mode with stock roms, it does not apply to Honeystreak R2-R6)
I heard that this issue could be caused by a bad SU app. Any of you get a force close when you open SU?
On HC apparently fac resetting depends on the recovery to do the actual work, unlike the s5 where it does it on it's own.
Wondering for anyone that tried to fac reset on stock HC with CWM it would fail since CWM cant fac reset properly, much less accept the commands from the bootloader in that manner.

Hello
I've got a used Streak 7 with the official Dell Honeycomb update. I made a master reset while driving home, then connected it to my WIFI network and worked very well! until it suddenly rebooted while browsing the web. After turning it on again and using the youtube app, the same thing happened even at full charge with the cable still plugged. Annoyed as hell, did another master reset... seemed to work well but after an hour it rebooted again... and does it every 10 minutes or so.
I am pretty sure it is software related because seconds before each reboot, the screen goes black and I am able to read: "Android System" with a weird icon on the top left corner... then It displays the Power Off/Shutting Down dialog (like when you power it off the right way pressing the power button) but then instead of pwering off it reboots itself.
I have noticed that if I leave it alone without opening any applications, it stays on. So far I have done 6 master resets and the issue is still there.
Any help please!!?
anyone?
I'm no expert on this but it seems about all you can do is to NVflash some other ROM since that will wipe your internal memory and repartition it. Then go back to HC again. If you have anything important on your device, back it up somehow as all data will be erased. There are lots of Guides and How To's here, some are good but some aren't! You'll have to read, read and reread till you go blind.

Though you are running Dell's official rom, I'm not sure which rom it is. Anyway, I suggest you follow the instructions here and update it to the newest 514 rom. This will wipe your ds7 and give you a clean start.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's a known bug that hasn't been been able to be repaired and/or addressed. The only version that didn't have this problem was the stock Froyo and DJSteve's custom Froyo builds.
The Honeycomb builds, even the stock ones on my Streak did the same thing, and once in a while the ICS beta I'm currently using will randomly reboot if I'm using the browser.
NOW if I remember correctly, DJ Steve's Honeycomb builds R2 through R6 weren't plagued with this that I can remember. I used them all and don't recall random reboots of any kind.
Hope this helps. I know it's frustrating and I used to pull my hair out thinking it was something I installed. It may be my Streak, but down here in Costa Rica there are a group of about 20 of us that have one and I service them all and they were all plagued with the random reboots in the Honeycomb builds

The Honeycomb builds, even the stock ones on my Streak did the same thing, and once in a while the ICS beta I'm currently using will randomly reboot if I'm using the browser.
NOW if I remember correctly, DJ Steve's Honeycomb builds R2 through R6 weren't plagued with this that I can remember. I used them all and don't recall random reboots of any kind.
Hope this helps. I know it's frustrating and I used to pull my hair out thinking it was something I installed. It may be my Streak, but down here in Costa Rica there are a group of about 20 of us that have one and I service them all and they were all plagued with the random reboots in the Honeycomb builds

I am running stock 514 rom and found it to be less prone to the reboot. Before this update my ds7 would reboot at least 2-3 times a week. Now it would be 2-3 times a month. I noticed that some apps do trigger the reboot, specially poor written apps and non-honeycomb apps. So don't go installling every apps under the sun.
But back to the OP problem, you seem to have an excessive amount of reboot. I would update to the 514 rom first because it is simple and easily done before you nvflash to other roms.
After upgrading to 514, I cant say I've ever gotten a reboot on it since it came out.
Had a fair amount of them on 506 though.
Cant speak for HS as I dont use them.

I wish I had your luck... On all HC roms... Stock or Steven's I had reboots so bad that my 7 was almost unusable... Not much without root but after root it got real bad... I even quit using it for a while... But mine is the 4G version so that may have had something to do with the instability

ok, this sucks
thanks... I have been playing with it for more than a week and I've discovered that if I tap on the back of it lightly, it immediately reboots!
The reboot also occurs if I hold it horizontally twisting it a bit (being gentle of course).
So, even if it seems like a software issue (because it reboots instead of suddenly loosing power completely)... it is actually a hardware issue.
I've been reading a lot regarding this problem and learned this also happens on the Dell Streak 5. Some users say that when Android detects an unstable voltage it auto reboots... and the problem with those ds5 is the battery not sitting completely still and it can be solved just by putting a piece of paper under the battery, great for them with a detachable battery! but not for us with a sealed system.
Do any of you have a service manual? I am willing to take it apart to try to solve this problem. My streak is unusable.

Our friend TheManii wrote a thread on how to take apart the ds7. Link below.

Oh wow this sucks... I mean cool guide but it is so extremely difficult to take it apart without damaging it! It is basically being held together with glue :S
