I picked up a Streak 7 Wi-Fi Only yesterday. I was playing around with it and tried out the honeycomb ROm posted here. Decided I wanted to go back to stock but my Nandroid backup is gone (I think it was on sdcard1 and not sdcard2). I managed to restore a stock image I found here someplace but it is the t-mo image and wifi does not seem to work. Anyone know where I can get the wifi-only stock image?

I can confirm this works!! Thanks so much op. I used this to get back from dj_steves honeycomb b3, and i did have to take a couple of extra steps. Once everything completed I was stuck at the dell logo. So I booted into recovery, to see what i could do, which was almost nothing other than clear cache etc. The internal sdcard would not mount so I couldn't put steves streakdroid 1.3 on it to try and see if it would flash. At a brick wall, I decided what the heck and I flashed the original recovery through fastboot. I rebooted into recovery and preformed a factory reset and and to my amazement was greeted with the lock screen a short while later. However, I had a notification stating that my sdcard was unformated or not the right system type. (certain on unformated cant remember the second suggestion, but i believe thats close). I went to settings>sdcard & tablet storage and pressed "format internal tablet storage", then mounted the internal tablet storage. And thats it. Back on stock 2.2.2 (wifi-only). Mega thanks op.
Thank you for confirming. Now I can try out the Honeystreak!
worked
this worked perfect for me.
i might add
i might add, that i had flashed the honeystreak in the dev section and my 7 would lock up, go to sleep (or in my case, lapse into a coma) and boot when it wanted to. had to reset with pin in the hole all the time. did this for about 3 days and said heck with it. seems to be some power issue with that flash. thanks to solidsnake66 for uploading these files. now my 7 seems to be normal again.
ok, this will help me. When I used the t-mobile backup, the partitions were different, because of the t-mobile files...I only had (I think) 11 or so GB of free memory. If I remember right, I had 12 something before. Is the .bat in this re-written to give me the 12gb, rather than the 11gb? Even if it is the WiFi files, I would like the same amount of memory I had before.
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I'm wrong, and they both use the same partitions.
Clockwordmod
Hey guys. So I used this howto to revert my dell streak 7 running on honeystreak hd7 back to android 2.2.2. Once i rebooted into the system i noticed that although in stock android, it was still rooted. While I know how to unroot, i can't get rid of clockwordmod recovery. How do i do that? I tried to uninstall the clockwordmod, but it doesn't show up under my apps. i am at my wits end. I want to send in my dell streak 7 to dell for repair, but i want it in "fresh" condition with no root or clockwordmod recovery. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Files now working for me
On my fourth attempt the files worked great.

Do you have the stock "system" image for use with fastboot? for a wifi only streak? I can only find the tmobile one.
What I did was to an out of the box wifi only streak 7,
1. rooted with gingerbreak 1.2, renamed a couple .apks which were supposed to eliminate the cell standby battery drain.
2. restored the device to remove my google account (this device is for a friend and owned by her!!) It was stupid and I should have used her google creds first but she was not around. I didnt think it would hurt. The device was stuck at the android click to start screen and nothing I did could get it any further.
3. used fastboot to restore the system_orig.img posted by someone else, this fixed my issues, but it was a tmobile image so I am looking for the same thing system.img but in a wifi only flavor. THought you may have it.
Thanks much.
The links he gave are for Wifi version only. First download the first link then you have to get nvflash, unzip it onto your computer then unzip the files from the first link into the folder. He is advising you that you need to follow the directions on the 2nd link.

Actually, postb8822 is saying that the files in those downloads are ClockWorkMod Recovery and Rooted, not stock. The Root can be removed via Gingerbreak (I've done it, once...) but the CWR recovery images are all that I find in the files provided.
Berryblue, you said that you have a backup on an SD, right? Would you please place the recovery.img and boot.img (and system.img separate from those two perhaps) at some dropbox somewhere?
Thanks.

This person's problem and fix seem to be exactly what I need to do. But what I don't understand is the "flashed to original recovery through fastboot" part. I can run fastboot and it sees my Streak but I don't know where I would find the recovery mentioned in the quote. Right now when I try to go to the recovery menu I see what seems to be the normal streak recovery menu but when I choose either factory reset I get to some other dialog I never saw before. I take it that this is some new recovery thing which is why I should be restoring the "original recovery" as mentioned in the quote.
To follow-up on my own posting: After staring at my bricked streak awhile, I decided that the poster must have meant the restore_orig file from the other thread. So I went back and reran the sequence. First the restore of all those img files then the fast boot recovery of the original restore img file. Boot with volume + to get to restore screen. Reset and reboot. Exactly what I'd done before but this time it worked. Perhaps the fact that the drivers were already installed helped since the sequence of operations wasn't interrupted by those driver installs. Perhaps I was more careful the second time. Regardless, it worked. I'm back and running. Even have root now; saving me from downloading gingerbreak. I'd assume if someone was doing this to return their Streak that they'd want to run gingerbreak to remove root. One additional caveat here: Once booted to the main Dell window (can't remember name of the Dell launcher) I had to reformat the internal disc. Not a big deal for me since I didn't expect any of my user data to survive. But just a warning for others.

I(we) can really use the stock img files needed to flash to stock. I hope someone posts it.
ClockworkMod Recovery loop and error:-1 during solution
Sorry, I posted on the wrong section, Thanks Chemus!
The img files that mssahota1986 referenced are the t-mobile (3g/4g) images rather than the Wifi images.
However following the reposted instructions in your post shows that the t-mobile boot and recovery images can remove the CWM, which I thought was incorrect. Combined with the altered and rooted system images previously provided, I might be able to get close to stock on my wifi, since GingerBreak 1.2 was previously able to remove root from the Wifi.
If Dell ever actually upgrades to HC, I'll try the OTA updates...maybe I'll get lucky.
Still hoping for a drop of the actual WiFi stock images (apparently the System.img is necessary)
Update: No luck on combining different file versions for me. It seemed to work, but the WiFi would not turn on.

My buddy just ordered a dell streak 7 off ebay. As soon as he gets it if it's all stock I'll create images from the device without the clockwork mod and root files. I don't know when he'll be getting it but I'll post the files ASAP
anyone else getting a white screen during the restore process near p11?
third time trying and i am stuck on dell logo. cant get into recovery at all.
any ideas.
I have searched this site for a few days trying to find some sort of answer...okay well an answer i can understand. but perhaps my n00banism is getting in the way. I've broken my nookcolor but it's not broken. yep. exactly. Here is my story:
I was able to root my nook thanks to theunlockr.com. I followed those directions and was able to get a nightly of cm7 (which i ran on my device for 3 months or so). when i tried to update to the stable version I kept getting an error message that the file was bad...i forget the exact wording. SOOO enter me, and my awesomeness. I found tipstir.the-talk.net and an option to load honeycomb on my nookcolor (which seems to be running fine btw). Somehow during that my clockwordmod rom manager was missing. I hadn't yet loaded the gap pack so i went online to the android market and downloaded it. yay. I tried to 'reboot into recovery' to load or 'flash'...but it just reboots normally.
I have since found that the kindle app and aldiko (which is the only app i've found that will read my old sony ereader books) just wont run on honeycomb which makes it all but useless to me since i use this primarily as an ereader.
I dont know what to do to fix the situation that i've found myself in. I think i read somewhere that you can load cm7 on an sd card and run it...but how then would I fix the situation that i've gotten myself into?
yhea...i have just enough interest in these sort of things to get myself in trouble, but not enough practical knowledge to get myself out of the pickles. SO please help the lame and powerless!
Thanks so much
Mikaela
The most surefire fix is to make a cwm card, flash back to your stock firmware, then either use cm7 on the card or install it on your nook(emmc). Basically, treat it like you bricked it. There are quite a few threads that can tell you step by step how to do it.

Is it possible to wipe webos completely off the touchpad and just have CM9. I don't want to have duo boot. i want to start my touchpad and have it boot straight to CM9. Thanks,
No, the android builds need webos to boot properly. And this has been asked many times before.

So nothing changed with CM9? I don't know how much you know of this, but I was curious as well. Especially when they said that a single-boot option was coming "soon". That was when CM9 A.0 got dropped. Honestly mboot is just a trashy middleman and I'd like to remove all of this crap if possible.
You can change the timeout of moboot to 1 second (not sure if 0). The cyboot package in preware can change it, or I'm sure there are some adb commands to change it. webOS takes very little space. And without hardware video decoding space shouldn't be a concern.
I like having a fall back OS. Plenty of times installing a ROM that doesn't remove the old ROMs moboot entry I have been stuck with boot failures on everything, and the only way I know to fix that is in webOS.
I honestly cannot think of a legitimate reason for this. A 5 second delay is hardly a burden, and whatever space is left over after plenty of webOS apps has always been way more than enough for me.

You know, I may have made that up. I swear they said something, but all I could find was that a tri-boot was coming "soon". My bad. Honestly, it's not that I'm worried about space, I just have an OCD for throwing out the trash. I'm like the opposite of a hoarder. So, if I'm not using it, at all, might as well get rid of it. I like the idea of just running a 100% Android, no filler. I don't need a camera, and I don't need skype. I'm not using Netflix at the moment, and I can't remember the last time I booted webOS for anything. Why have it, you know?
I get that. I'm the same way about apps, emails, icons on my desktop etc.
I used webOS again today. Had classicnerd installed, and went to install the KSM. KSM gave boot failure in moboot, and classicnerd gave boot loop. I had to delete the uImage for both (using internalzpro in webOS), wipe data, cache, dalvik, and install again to get it working. This seems to happen to me every time I go from one ROM to a different one. And I do that weekly as everything gets updated. Maybe its because I have TWRP and CWM installed, so the boot space is full ... I don't know. But if I can't boot into android and can't use adb, so webOS is the only option. Maybe I should webOS doctor the device back to stock and start over.

I don't ever actually use webOS as anything other then a default recovery system (and never have used it!)
I recommend rebooting into the webOS recovery and using ACMEUninstaller, then put your new files back on the SD card and reinstall CM9. Unless something is very messed up with the webOS partition itself (which would be very uncommon) I have found webOS doctor is generally not needed.
Initially I wanted to only have CM7/9 on my touchpad, but after using it for a while I have found quite a few occasions where I have needed to just start over with problems from android. WebOS has been a nice fallback for getting in and out of recovery and seeing how it uses almost no space I came to the conclusion that even if it is possible to remove it, it acts almost like a factory recovery for android simply by being there.

Internalzpro in webOS (preware package) enable master mode in settings, navigate to /boot/ and delete the offending uImage.[name] files. As I said previously this function is the only reason I ever blog into webOS. You can also rename the moboot entries by renaming the file's extension.
Or ... you can try the commands in a terminal emulator right on the device.

Was running moboot .38 with twrp 2.5.0.0 when I decided to flash schizoid 1.25(?) over the march 6th release. Didn't like it so I wiped ROM and restored backup. After reboot, it went straight to schizoid. That's all it will do.
The question is: can I, and how can i put my HP touchpad back to "stock" so that I may use acme installer3 and start from the beginning?

Make sure your TP is chargerd and reboot it using the power and home key button. Once you do that hold down the volume up key and while it plugged into the PC. That will get you into WebOS Recovery so that you can push acmeunistaller then you will have a HP Touchpad with WebOS only were you can reinstall the rom from acmeinstall2 or acmeinstall3. I had the same issuse.

in twrp what buton do i pick and witch folder after that plz help anyone
Oh you have twrp, you could just "adb push" a stock rom on there from the development section, but if you're going to take the kffa or kfsrt route with flashing stock, just go into twrp, hit reboot, then hit bootloader, it should go into fastboot. It will probably restore stock recovery though, not sure i haven't use either of the tools mentioned before, so you might have to reinstall that.
just pulled it back from the FIRE
Ok just got it back working, followed your advice and started looking for post about using the sideloading option in the TWRP to push stock OS 7.4.6 to the SD card, found one that gave the adb code to push, im new so i dont know stuff like that "adb sideload C;/desktop/kfhd7-amizon-os-kfhd7.4.6.zip"
Don't know why all the file locations were empty when i tried to use TWRP consol the instructions in the post said reboot after everything else
when i did it would not reboot into system and if i tried to install a zip could not find a file in there anywere witch is wieard because all file came back when i pushed the kfhd7.zip to the sd card even the disk img on my sd card?
anyway all's good that ends well ..........
