basically, before you guys judge, why would i need a pattern bypass, let me get through the story.
Basically, my tenant couldnt pay her rent, so she decided to give me half and leave. when she left, she also left her dell streak. i gave her a call and she told me i can just have it. when i tried to turn it on, it wouldnt so i charged it. waited a while, say 6 hours, then when i got back to it, there was a pattern lock. called her again but unfortunately, her cell phone line got deactivated. its been 2 days, and ive been trying but no luck.
basically, i just need a program, software, anything? lol. to bypass this because i want to sell it, or maybe try to fall in love with it
*things i have tried*
[1.] Vol up + Power
~brings me to (stock??) recovery (im guessing?) with 5 choices.
0. Boot Up
1. Factory reset (User data only)
2. Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card
3. Factory reset (User data and Internal Tablet storage)
4. Power off
~Chose #1 which failed
~Chose #3 also failed
both booted up perfectly and still showed the pattern unlock screen.
[2.] Followed a guide
~i basically treated the streak like it was bricked, so i fallowed a guide from illdill (sorry i forgot the link) but it was something related to nvflash and using it to flash images 2-21 on the dell streak 7.
~this method also failed, and also booted up perfectly.
*[3.] Try to put HoneyStreak RC 2.1*
~i get the error "Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait.. FAILED!"
idk what i means but all i know is that when i used the search button, i guess peoples who ask about it and have trouble about it, they get ignored. they try to bump, but yet no response. I read from post 427 to almost 560. none was answered. if there is a way out there. please help me ;(
only 2 methods i tried. anyone else? thanks in advance xda users. quick responses that arent usually nonsense gets a thank button clicked from me

Try flashing Honeystreak (it completely erases the internal memory since it needs to repartition it) if you like Honeystreak, keep it, if you want stock, flash back. Hopefully that will work.

thanks for quick response, ill try and see, most of the things im reading are, i have to atleast have CWR. which i highly doubt she has. when i tried to explain to her what "rooting" means, lets just say she wasnt interested at all.
unfortunately, it didnt work. somethings about "Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait.. FAILED!" and doesnt go through, that makes method 3 = failed. unless someone out there has a different suggestion?
thanks in advance
Uh...it failed to format the partition? I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
I know this will sound stupid, since you are probably in the right forum, but where you said "streak" are you sure it was the 7 inch and not the 5? Also, you said you got into recovery by volume UP and power, but I think volume DOWN and power is stock recovery...maybe it had CWM installed by someone who has used it before? (the options sound like CWM) and in that case, someone may have changed something. Again, I'm shooting in the dark, but if it is a streak 5, or if it has CWM, it would be different than just a stock Streak 7 on the lockscreen. The streak 5 and 7 are not just different sizes of the same device - they run on a different chipset. The 5 has a snapdragon (I believe) and the 7 has a Tegra 2.
EDIT: You said Streak 7 in the title, so...I'm pretty sure you know it's a 7. In that case, I don't know why it won't flash :-/

ahhh, thank you. first off, the partition, basically it looks like this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15109690&postcount=425). i have no idea why it fails.
the only ways i could tell it "might be" a streak 7 is....
stock, Volume Up+Power is stock recovery menu. Volume Down+power is USB Fastboot. Has red letters as well.
now. is there anything visible or any button power combo where i would be able to find out if this was a dell streak 5 or 7? sorry for the nweb question.
*fyi, i know how CMW looks like, i have owned many android devices and... lets just say trust me... the Volume Up+Power looks like stock recovery and the only reason i say this is because it has 5 options, and 2 of them are Factory Reset.
Thanks again for quick response!
Other than the screen size, the capacitive buttons are layed out differently. On the streak 5, they are equally spaced, wheras the Streak 7 has them placed so that in landscape, they would all be under your thumb. The Streak 5 also has a removable battery, and the Streak 7 does not. If you check the back and it is smooth with a removable battery, it's a 5. If it is lightly textured without a removable battery, it is a 7.
Hope this helps
EDIT: And as far as the partition, I still don't know what would cause the problem. It might be best to ask someone with more NVFlash experience than me

perfect bluesy_92. you've helped me so much already even thought my dell streak is still "unable to be used" now im for sure guarenteed this is a dell streak 7 (lol) since there is no removable battery and the c buttons are right under my thumb landscape wise.
as for the partition, would you help me figure out? ill sorta spam (not really) on the development thread for anyone who has nvflash experience to help me out with my streak.
as for others who click on this thread and do read and by any chance know any nvflash experience. please do help and just jump right in. thanks so much XDA community providers lets see if we can get through a bypass.
as of things to try
as of things to try in the morning when i wake up for work
the only thing im missing now is my adapter for my miniSD card to stick it in my streak and do the update.pkg file from the stock recovery menu. idk if it will bring me far because at work, i have internet access all day via phone (htc sensation) and i can try to keep update with my xda app but i have no desktop whatsoever.

Well, I've heard of people getting devices that are locked in read-only, basically making them unable to be flashed. The fact that nothing is working scares me that this may be the case, but at the same time, I never experienced it, so I definately can't be sure. Someone who has may be able to tell you if you're stuck. If it is read-only, your only hope is Dell by that point :-/
That's the first thing I think you should find out. Because if it is locked in read-only, your case is pretty much closed at that point (and not in a good way, unless Dell helps you.) If you find out it's not, then I would try to figure out why Honeystreak isn't flashing properly.
You can try update.pkg - everything is worth a shot, but unlike flashing Honeystreak, I think it won't repartition or anything (updating through a .pkg is the way manufacturers release updates - it was not designed to be harmful to the users data, afaik) so that's not exactly a sure-thing. Don't let that stop you from trying it, though - when something can't be used at all, any idea is a good idea

well, im not really trying to flash anything, i dont even care if its rooted or not, i just want it to be working basically. so my son can watch his elmo while i play my game or update my roms or watch my movies without him whining anything just to make it stock perfect again and this bypass to go through >__<"
What happened when you tried nvflash ?
Did it push all of the partitions properly ?
Are you sure you had it in apx mode ?
I just recovered mine from a honeystreak flash and nvflash rewrites all partitions. Then try to fastboot push the system / recovery images.. After that you should be able to use cwm via fastboot to write a new rom ( I went back to streakdroid 1.3 ).
Just put the image file into your fastboot directory and boot it from your computers hard drive ( fastboot boot cwm.img )

when you double click download.bat, after the img file 14 or 15 goes through, does your command screen suddenly disappear? whats your next step through that?
I flashed using these partition images ( Not the ones in the initial NVflash post) Maybe your image files were corrupted on download. Im glad someone uploaded them in 1 rar to ensure a clean set
Id start over from scratch by using this rar as your c:\Nvflash directory
http://www.multiupload.com/OM0VO9HBO9
See if those make a difference. After Nvflash completes the box will close, its normal. Use the pinhole to reset. From there I just used fastboot ( vol down and power ) to boot into cwm ( i can dropbox the image if you need it ). The command is : fastboot boot cwmimagename.img
from there you can format data/cache/system/dalvik/storage ( mine came back with an error not being able to format a few but try it anyway)
Mount SD card and copy something like the streakdroid zip to it. Using CWM's menus, install a zip from SDcard and choose it. It should run w/o error.
I had the Dell logo only stuck on boot after that , so I went into recovery and formatted user data only . From there it booted right up.
When you boot your streak, does it still boot into the original rom or does it just freeze on the Dell logo?

sorry for the late reply, i just barely got home from work. i just bought myself a 2 gig micro sd card, and the adapter to stick the micro sd card in the bigger sd card. im going to try the update.pkg. unfortunate of me, i tried to do it right away but its low battery just my luck. charging the streak 7 right now.

not even, it would boot original rom with the users data still enabled. (the reason i say this is because, the pattern lock is still there) even when i tried the nvflash, it would boot right up to the pattern lock and with the same background she always had.
idea
since i now have an sd card, im going to try the "Restore your DS7" but the only thing thats stopping me is that it requires CWR which i dont have. ill try to work around it since my DS7 is recognized by fastboot and ADB. Also wanted to add another misfortune of mine, she does have debug mode on but fastboot should work rather than ADB. wish me luck.
if anyone has any other suggestions or ideas, please budge in. i dont mind at all. thanks for the help all!

failed aswell, after double clicking restore.bat, i let it do its own thing, after it pushes p14.img file, it closes the command box right away, so i used an earring to turn off the device, unplugged from the usb, and yet, it still loads up pefectly with the same wallpaper and still the pattern lock... ughh, this is really frustrating!! ;'(
im trying one last step, before i call dell... (i dont even know if they'll replace this since im not the owner or the buyer of the product. unless they will? let me know)
my last step im taking is, im gonna use nvflash again, but this time im gonna use the WIFI DS7 partitions. hopefully it works. please almight lord! *sniff* begging. wish me luck. ill update
and as you already know what im going to say next, if anyone out there has any suggestions, ideas or plans. please help me out. might help others out in the community. thanks so much in advance
Connected my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 to Kies yesterday and was informed there was a major firmware update (I live in Norway btw). Started the familiar process, all going well until 62% into the installation to the Tab. And there it froze... After a very long time I disconnected, tried the process recommended for emergency recovery. It stopped after 72% (or there around).
Now my device can't reboot, not even hard reset. All is lost and it has to be sent in for service Samsung says. When calling Support they said they were surprised Ice Cream Sandwich was released at this time for the device (sounded like they didn't know it was). Me too - I would have preferred to wait if I could have avoided this!!!
How do you know it was ICS.

I don't know it was (can't remember the version number displayed, stupid me!). When I called Samsung Support they said they were "surprised ICS was released now". I didn't claim it was when I called...

See the question mark in the title of my post? I don't know or claim this was ICS, I'm trying to find out if it was and is only reporting what I experienced. I did so here assuming I get rational feedback and advice on it.
If it was ICS then others should also have it in Kies now, if nobody else has then it most likely wasn't. But I have seen no reports from others that they have got firmware upgrades to their 8.9 device on Kies now and ICS has been rumored to be around the corner. What did happen was that I got a firmware upgrade - no matter if that was ICS or not.
The idiotic thing was that I was so excited when I saw there was an upgrade on Kies that I ignored taking backup before proceeding. How stupid can you be...
Were you really not able to go recovery mode? When was the last time you used kies before you tried this? Maybe it was an older firmware?
The recovery mode also stopped, after 70-something percent. Might have been a few weeks since I checked Kies last, but not a very long time.
After the recovery mode also hanged, the device only displayed the firmware error page. When trying to hard reset (volume up & start button) I got an Android logo saying it was downloading (which it couldn't have been as it was not connected to anything).
Got it back from repair and it has Android 3.2 (2.6.36.3).

Isn't that download mode....As in what you'd want to flash a rom with ODIN?
Did you try flashing the stock firmware back on it before you sent it in for repair?
I kinda messed up my i957 last week when playing around with it. I wasn't paying attention to the 3g vs LTE so it was my bad. Tried some stuff out and the tablet was whacky!
Wound up going to Samsung support page and hunted down original firmware and flashed with ODIN and all was well again.
Glad your back up and running
Just got a used Dell Streak 7 last week and love it. Problem is I cant stand Froyo. So, my first ever attempt at rooting any device and installing custom rom worked. I managed, after some research and nailbiting to install honeystreak and find it really cool. Problem is, I installed an early release (didnt do enough research) and find some glitches with it. So, Id like to upgrade, but cant seem to get it to work. Cant get computer (2 of them) to recognize via USB and another method I found to load from SD car doesnt work either. It just pops up the Dell logo and says booting image kernel and stays there. Nothing else happens. Anybody have an idea what I could be doing wrong?? Any help is appreciated.

HoneyStreak R8 still had some glitches even if you update all the way up to it. Yes the drivers are different so if you are going to stay in the Android world your best bet is to install the AndroidSDK with the GoogleUSB drivers supplement. It sounds like you have a driver issue.
Easiest way to get to R8 is to NVFlash R7, let it boot, shut it down and let it boot again. R7 will install Clockwork Mod, so download that and put it on an external SD and stick it in the Streak and then install R8 from CWM. Once again let it boot, shut it down and let it boot again.
You then need to download the Superuser7.zip file and place it on the external SD so you can root R8.
Ok, it was a driver issue. I had to remove driver and reinstall and it worked. Now, its up and running. Thank you. Love it, however, apps requiring SD card will not work. Is that one of the glitches with R8? Other than that, it seems to be working perfectly.
what do you mean apps requiring SD?
SGS II I9100 from TapaTalk
such as google earth or a torrent loader that loads into external SD card storage automatically. I got 'SD card required' for google earth and 'SD read only' on Torrent downloader. Ive got it working now, at least temporarily by shutting down completely and restarting. Will let you know if the problem arises again. So far very pleased and love the info and advice from this forum.
Now off to dig into the Evo forum to see what I can do with my Evo 4G.........
Ok so if the answer to this question is already on this forum I searched for a hour and if you could drop me a link that would be great. Last night I flash v10k onto my LG thrill with no hiccups. The only problem is I want to go back to V20p because it changed to a O3D and all I can get is 2g edge service. So this morning I attempted to flash V20p and everything was kosher until it said there was a connection error. "Disconnect phone remove battery..." So i figured I needed to get the phone back into download mode in order to continue. The phone isnt bricked, however, I cant seem to get it back into Download mode to try again. Ive tried everything (that I can think of). Restarted my computer wipe all my phones data... My end goal is to have either v10e or the v20p. So I'm open to any routes to this end. I've read about doing a nandroid backup but all the links are dead. I've already decided I'm going to get the Galaxy Nexus and sell this phone if I can ever get it back to stock or semi stock. This is the second time I've had this connection error the first time it was during the update to GB and that time it bricked it. At the time I thought it was a faulty data cable, however, this time I was using a gold plated gigawire and it still did it... This coupled with the ghost call issue almost costing me my job(the reason for trying to go back to froyo) My experience has been buggy to say the least. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

So you want V20P or V10E?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ DUAL BOOT: AOKP / MIUI
I really want V10e if its possible but If not then V20p will work.
I am having similar problems when I try as well. I have tried 5 or six times but tells me something about the b2c not loaded or a connection to the internet. Every time I hit "normal web upgrade test" it throws up a pop up and wont let me proceed any further. It has worked for me twice before, I got the no connection pop up and ignored it, but its not working this time. I set everything up the same from instructions on Acidhazzard rom web site. Please help...
I had to change the port back to 80 and put the orig host file back in the ect file just to download the bc2app then change it all back it worked the first time when i flashed v10k... idk i would delete the lg drivers and everything then start from scratch if i could boot into download mode.

I have been starting...
From scratch. I download the LG flash package and go from there. It does it every time I try. The times I got it to work, I would just hit cancel or OK on the pop up and then hit the OK button I was wanting to hit real fast before the pop up could come back up. I thought it may be a Windows 7 issue (cause I have seen people talk about it) and tried win xp yesterday. Same things happened.
Im running Xp and Im having the same exact thing happen. I got it into download mode finally idk what was going on but now I just keep getting the communications error Ive tried the whole process (each one is like 5 errors) like 3 times now. If it keeps popping up before the update even starts then your probably need to change your small server port from 80 to 9002.
fixed
Somehow after getting the com error 100 times with the flash tool I noticed it had changed my model number back to P925 (I don't know how it did this) I then decided to chance it (after I changed the host file back and changed the port back to 80 and closed the small http server) I went through the LG support tool and clicked start update. After about 20 min of uncertainty during the update and another 5 minutes of self-loathing after getting a bootloop on the at&t screen... I did a hard reset and cleared all data and wah-la... I got it back to V20p. But the flash tool wouldn't flash the v20p for me.. So if I didnt somehow get rid of the P920 model number and back to the P925 model number I don't think it would have worked the way it did.
Hello,
I am sorry that I have to write hear but I can't write in development :/
I wanted to update to Android 4.2.2 (recently I have CM 10.1 beta 2) so I paid and download and ... when I run install batch. I receive:
"Nvflash started
USB device not found"
I supposed it is driver issue. I checked in Device Manager and I found Dell Android ADB Interface, I found on this forum that it should be named nVidia. But there is no such driver in a package. What to do? Help please
I checked on second computer and I have the same. I am using Windows x64 on both machines.
best regards
I'm on W7 64 bit. That should work for you now but drivers can be a PITA. Delete that driver, reboot and reinstall. If that doesn't work download the NVflash file again.
He didn't put the device in APX mode.
The fact that it see's Dell ADB says he is in typical Android mode.

If so, how would it show up in his device manager?

The fact that he said this, tells me he wasn't in APX mode. If had been in APX mode it would have not showed this, also he said he put it in APX mode and it now worked :victory:

Since I seldom flash my DS7, I forget! I'm so use to using my N10 now although I use the DS7 daily. What mode was he in then?
I've noticed different names in my device manager after connecting my N10 and once in a while the DS7. The name Android Bootoader or something like that comes up. Still works just different name.

Either in recovery or just a fully booted up Android.

I use a OtterBox case so I'm pressing through it to the real buttons. Holding both down is a handful and sometimes it just boots normally.
hey guys..does anyone know if the jb 4.2.2 rom developped by ccxxx works/will work with the t-mobile ds7 (4G)??
i'm just curious as it appears from the postings in the ds7 android development page that they're talking about the wifi only version of the ds7..
can anyone comment/confirm this??
The one he built is no different than mine. He just copied my work. Its wifi-only.

well giveen,
i guess with all the talk/chatter none of these other cats has/will develop a jb 4.2.2 rom for the ds7 t-mobile 3G/4G edition.
i know that you were well on your way to doing just that..having separate roms for the wifi only and the 3G/4G versions of this device..
since ccxxx jb 4.2.2 rom for the ds7 is just a copy of your work..well why should i bother installing it?
i think that ccxxxx and those other cats could really be really helpful in getting jb 4.2.2 to work with the t-mobile 3G/4G version of ds7 and not just put a refresh or a new coat of paint on all the hard work you almost single handedly and painstakingly put in..
you are a good man giveen..keep plugging on dude!!!
Nope, I'm done.
I'm being a greedy bastard and with 2078 (and going) downloads and not a single donation, I don't care anymore.
I tried to sell it to motivate myself to continue but apparently its against the rules of XDA.
School keeps me busy these days plus getting more involved with information security people.

so the question is..
will anyone else besides giveen attempt to do a jb 4.2.2 rom for the ds7 t-mobile/4G?
i'm willing to give my support or two cents in helping with this build..
i know that there are modified rom or two out there using android hc 3.2 by dj steeve and the manii that work on the 4G ds7..
it'll probably take some effort but maybe it can be done..
will somebody really give it a shot of getting android jb 4.2.2 running on the 4G ds7??
i'd love to see this rom come to life..
Help dell streak camera
Hello I installed ANDROID 4.2.2 on my DELL STREAK 7 I have the camera and the photo does not work someone t there a patch that can allow me to make the camera work or if there is a possibility of return to a previous version or I can use the camera because I really need in my work
any KitKat for DS7 3/4G?
now that android 4.4 KitKat can run on older devices 512MB RAM, will anybody attempt doing any work on the 3/4G version of the ds7?
i know devs like the manii, giveen, DJ Steve have all done great work in the past with some awesome ROMS but the 3/4G version never seemed to get it going. i hope that it gets done now that KItKat is available.
I've hadn't been able to get a hold of DerArtem for months now, as he is the developer for the RIL.
I do intend on doing KitKat, hopefully in a month or so.
sorry
I'm sorry to see you leave @giveen. I currently have a 3G (i noticed you don't) version of DS7 and i wanted to use your CM10.1.
However, whenever i download (tried on 3 different providers on some of my servers) the archive seems to be corrupted. Also, not seeing any instructions doesnt really help me. Can you send me a pm with your link and instructions ?
Thanks.
