[Q] Need help with Dell Streak 7..

I have a T-Mobile Dell Streak 7 4G version running stock froyo. I just got it and never rooted it or did any modifications. I was trying to update to HC. I downloaded and renamed the file according to instructions per TheManii in his guide. I then tried to boot into the android system recovery utility by pressing and holding the power button + volume up button. I instantly got stuck on the screen you see below. I don't know how to get out of it and don't know what to do. Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You boot into recovery by pressing the Volume + button and the Power button simultaneously... to get into that fastboot mode you got "stuck" in you had to have pressed the Volume - button with the power button
Once in recovery you select option 2 I believe to update, the Streak will guide you through the rest

This is your problem.
You need to root it. Install Clockwork, reboot into recovery mode, and THEN install the package.

I thought CWM was different than rooting a device...

It is, unless you're installing cwm from rom manager (which i dont believe is recommended) you do not need to root as the normal method of installing cwm here would be via fastboot

OK, so fastboot flashing implies rooting? EDIT: Nevermind, I just digested the meaning of your post...

Download. Gingerbreak here http://db.tt/1fcrIUqS use it to get root then download. Rom manager. From the market and use it to flash clockwork recovery.

Ok, thanks for the help. I am now rooted. I am stuck on trying to update to HC. I followed the instructions per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286295 but when I get to 'Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card' I get stuck (refer to image below). What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated as always. Thanks!

It's named incorrectly, either rename it to update.zip or manually navigate to it

I renamed it to update.zip and still doesn't work. I don't know what's goin on lol.. I'm rooted and I have the file ready just sitting there. Someone help me install HC.

Scroll down to where it says choose zip from sd card, and hit power to srlect it. Choose the hc update.zip u wanna flash and voila!

Just a note,by t I know some people where having problems getting into fastboot and recovery. All you have to do is reset with the pinhole reset and everything is fine also if the battery is to low just plug it in to charger or it will just blink the led and not do anything...
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 w/HC using xda premium

I have a problem ...
I installed gingerbreak, I root the s7.
After I installed ClockworkMod - rom manager, but the tab does not restart ClockworkMod, but in the recovery of dell.
Why?

I made a very easy procedure following the "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286295"
Recovery.img updated the topic mentioned and then did the update for pkg.
I found this procedure "update recovery.img" on the site streaksmart.com
update recovery.img
Download the Android SDK and extract it on your C: drive. I renamed the folder "Android" for simplicity and moved it to the root of the drive, but you can do whatever you want.
Turn it back on by holding the volume down (-) and the power button at the same time to enter fastboot mode.
Connect the Streak 7 to your computer.
Open a command prompt (in Windows, press Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt) and navigate to your Android SDK/tools folder. For me, it's in C:\Android\tools so I type cd c:\android\tools in the command prompt.
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and press Enter.
was what I used to update the recovery, after using the upgraded pkg topic mentioned above.

Thanks to everyone who helped. DS7 3.2 ftw!!

If you have recovery in your phone
(shutdown your phone and take battery off and put it then in To phone, then press Volume down and powerbutton and you will get white bootloader and search green recovery and choose it by pressing power Button it will open black with Blue letter recovery. If you have recovery Download the rom and in Roms thread are instructions to install the rom.

How did you find out that your phone is rooted?
Moreover, write following information here:
Bootloader: locked or unlocked?
HBoot:????
S-Off or S-ON???
You can this information by doing following.
Switch your phone Off. Press Volume down button and power button. This will take you to a screen where you can find this information. Put your information here and wr'll take it from there onwards

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429241&highlight=and - This is what is installed on you phone. So you know. Not that this helps anything but just so you know it isn't some random thing no one has heard of
Now the recovery these guys are on about is something that has to be installed on the phone for someone to have installed this 'OS' (ROM). If you do as many have said and power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery. Chances are this is a customer recovery which allows you to install new 'OS' (ROM).
If you have this it would be easier for you and everyone if you download the stock rooted OS. Now you don't really need to understand what root is etc. I am sure you could Google all of that. But what you have to do is download it from here. Once it has downloaded you need to move the .zip file to you SD card on your phone. Just plug your phone into your PC and drag and drop it to your phone's sd. The SD card in your phone is virtualised so although you may not physically have one the PC recognises it as an SD card.
Once you have moved it to your phone. You need to unplug your phone from the PC. Get your phone back to the recovery, using these instructions again:Power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery.
Once you are there continue to use the volume up and down to navigate and power to select. You need to select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' option. Then select 'yes' Once that is done, you need to select the 'Wipe Cache' option. Again, select 'Yes'. Once that is done you can install the 'OS'(ROM). Now you select 'Install zip from SD card' then the option 'Select zip from SD card' Navigate and find the .zip file you moved to your SD. Select it, then select 'yes' After that it will do some stuff. Once it's finished, select 'Go Back' and then 'Reboot System' that should work.
If you don't want to do that then you can download the RUU file that fshami already linked. http://www.filefactory.com/f/2c6cbf04d4909b70/ - Select the one named 2.31.401.2_Europe. Once it has downloaded you need to ensure you have HTC drivers installed. Best way to do that is download HTC sync and plug your phone in. After it has installed the drivers and verified your phone you're good to go. Plug your phone in, find the RUU file you downloaded. It will be an .exe file. Right click on it and click 'Run as Administrator' Follow the steps on screen.

Android Revolution 30 Upgrade Question

I have a question if anyone has the time because I ran into an issue earlier. I unlocked my HTC One when it came out and have RevolutionHD 10.1 on it and have left it that way. I made a Nandroid backup today and downloaded Revoltion30. When I installed the ZIP everything goes ok but it looks like my phone is not in developer mode after; holding down the volume key and power down get me to the initial menu. When I hold power down and volume for a long time I can get back to the fastboot screen. Is there a step I'm missing to make this work?

Have you tried using adb (be it "adb reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader") ? If, for some reason, you do not want to do this, go to Settings -> Power and disable Fast boot. Should fix it !

TWRP Recovery freezes

Hi guys,
I want to flash a new rom in TWRP recovery, but its frozen. In my current rom, I chose to reboot in recovery. Then TWRP started. But the screen doesn't respond to my touches. I see the lock, with "Swipe to unlock" but I can't do anything.
I tried to reboot with adb, with the command "adb reboot recovery" and it succeeded, but I got the same problem. Only now the problem is that adb doesn't see my device, so I can't do anything anymore.
Power - vol down doesn't work and I tried to reinstall my drivers, but it didn't worked.
The TWRP version is v.2.5.0.0 the old rom was ARHD 13.0 I think.
Can anyone help me?

And how do I do that? I'm still in a frozen recovery, and ADB doesn't see my device.

Press VOL + and POWER buttons and put the phone at light, it will reboot

Installing custom rom, on galaxy s gt-i9000, with a busted power button

Hi there i am relatively new to android modding and rooting etc. I recently tried to install Cyanogenmod to my phone and I succeeded, but the next day my phone began to restart itself, turns out that the power button is broken. We tried to repair it but ended up burning down the processors internal i/o (latch or whatever structure it has) with a faulty multimeter . Now i have to turn on my phone with a dock cable (with 1kohm res) which wakes up the phone, i can access the Download mode by plugging in the dock, and pressing home+down, but the recovery needs the power button signal too.
I can access the recovery by using adb commands, but i need to boot in. If i install a new recovery like CWM, i am stuck in a bootloop and i don't know if i can use the adb commands. Is there any other way to get into recovery mode, besides home+power+up, or adb commands?
Can i install CM onto the phone under these circumstances?
Thanks for any help given!

Not sure how you are going to select options in recovery as you need the power button unless you have Touch Recovery or TWRP recovery. Anyway use this app to boot to recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423071

Well if i install a new recovery mod like clockworkmod then i'll be in one. That is why it is necessary to reboot in it so i can install the ROM.

Rather get your power button replaced.
