Honeystreak r8 and Dock information. - Dell Streak 7

I recently researched if HoneyStreak r8 could be flashed using CWM onto Stock 514. I did not find anyone who had tried, nor did I ask.
I did get this to work. The main reason for doing this was so that I could use mostly Honeystreak and then keep a 514 ROM so I could use the dock without losing the speakers.
Here is what I did:
1) Did a nandroid backup of 514 using CWM 5.0.2.8
2) flashed the R8 zip from sd card using the same cwm "as above".
What is funny is when I booted honeystreak to test: ALL of my settings, apps, ect. were saved and I did not have to load anything.
3) When I flashed R8 I knew that the recovery would be replaced so I fast booted the CWM 5.0.2.8 back on and did a NANDROID of the honeystreak rom.
4) now I can flash either one 514 or honeystreak using the CWM 5.0.2.8.
ALSO I placed my Streak into the dock to test the speakers on Honeystreak and guess what...? they did not work.
However... I powered off and back on with the streak still in the dock and it does not have the speaker message come up and THEY NOW WORK.
So again.. the dock can work using HONEYSTREAK.
So if you have done this or seen it in another thread please post.

If your using any version CWM to flash a zip, why would it be written to overwrite itself and/or while it's in use? This wouldn't make any sense at all.

That's what I thought. I shut down. After booting up StreakDroid I then rebooted into recovery and cwm5 was replaced by version 4. And it would not load my nandroid correctly so I reloaded cwm 5... Make since or not that is what happened.

The recovery must load into memory leaving the recovery partition open to be replaced.

The r8 zip package has a recovery image in it. Just like any nandroid.. It replaced mine with the one that has dj steve's signature in it.

Yes, I get that but that means once CWM is running, it doesn't use/need the recovery partition. You had v5 till you rebooted, correct?

Yes maybe you had a misunderstanding of what I meant in OP. I meant that I used CWM 5 to backup then immediately I flashed the r8 zip with cwm 5. then I rebooted to test. So yes I had 5 until I rebooted. I said that in post 3 above.

My misunderstanding was of a recovery program's operation in general, thinking that it needed its partition(recovery) to operate but your post shows that this isn't the case.

rooted 2.2.2 with DJ_Steve's tweaks flash through CWR

Ok BIG thanks goes too davied and DJ_Steve. Without them this would not be possible. Ive flashed this and all is good. Root, 2300 consistent in quadrant. This is Davied's .zip with DJ_Steve's tweaks. Copy and paste mirror2.streakdroid.com/djsteve336.zip this in your browser. Flash via Clockworkmod.
Its always a safe bet too wipe data/cache make a nandroid before you flash!!! Flash at your own risk Me, Davied, DJ_Steve are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device or yourself. Happy Streaking to you all!!!

Is there a way to flash using other ways other than CWM? I am already installed with 2.2.2 so I am not rooted so I can't install rom manager to flash CWM... what a circle...

Well I guess that is pretty stupid question ..
Maybe I flash recovery using this recovery first, then boot into recovery , then flash the .zip file.
NO!!! Your dell streak7 has an unlocked bootloader there for you can go to the clockwork thread by graffixnyc and flash his cwr through fastboot then boot into cwr and flash this. This has too be flashed through cwr.

the screen didnt hang.. that screen IS the fastboot screen.. when you have that screen you must plug your streak into your computer.. all the fastboot commands are issued through a command prompt on your computer..

you dont fastboot flash this file. you need too fastboot flash cwr then flash this with clockworkmod.
And jiwengang you need too select option 2 in the stock bootloader.That will bring you into cwr.

Question, I have still yet to update Ive always been the cautious type vs instant flashing.
Think I am ready now. So, since I did not OTA yet. But I AM rooted. I have Rom manager installed.
So am I correct when I assume, what I do it, Flash CWR, download this zip, then flash via the app to be updated to 2.2.2, have the tweaks and be set to go?
Also What T-mobile/Dell apps did it remove? Thanks.
You cant flash via rom manager. Its useless other then flashing cwr. But yes boot into bootloader by holding power and plus volume hold it until you see the menu. Select option 2 should put you into cwr. Once in cwr flash the .zip i provided. Reboot and you should be on 2.2.2 rooted. Good luck.

i am in need of a guide on how to manipulate these system and image files
Thanks Hellzya, Will try it now. What Apps were removed tho?
Also are you all using a SD card for storage or nah?
Btw wiping out Data/Cach or whatever, that doesnt touch the internal storage memory does it? Never had a device with internal memory like this. Used to my G1 and using the SD card for everything.
i believe you dont need too wipe by i always do just to be careful. It doesnt take that long too reinstall everything and set it up. i do it for piece of mind. and yes i have a 16gb external sd but i put everything im gonna flash on the internal sd.
Thatruth ask davied or get on irc and if dj steve is there im sure he could help you.

can't update . . . help!!

So my apologies if this has been covered, have seen similar things but not quite the same . . .
been running decrapped. (was on revolt 1.0 or 1.1 a while back, but went back to decrapped.)
so . . . restored my original v4 backup from june, system and boot. wiped data.
and now it won't update! when i go to settings --> about phone --> update --> check for new, it downloads, but when the phone reboots itself, it says update failed, and i'm still on v4. tried it a few times.
also, lost clockwork . . . tried to reboot into clockwork, and when i said "yes, wipe data and return to factory settings", it didn't go into clockwork, but actually wiped data and returned to factory settings.
what am i doing wrong??!!
thanks!
Sounds like you need to download the revo stock you need to make sure everything is back to normal for some reason even if the boot.img. is different it won't update

First off, thanks for all the work you have been doing!
I have used LGNPST to first goto V6 with no luck, so I then used LGNPST to get to V4. I was unable to get the update with either one of these installed.
I then rooted and used your CWM zip posted earlier today, rebooted and used your RevoToolKit to reinstall the stock boot image. I even went so far to uninstall RevoToolKit after putting the stock image back on the phone thinking LG could tell I had it??
No matter what I do, when I choose "Software Update" "Check for New Updates" it still says nothing is available...
...Maybe I should get the original Moto Razr flip phone back out of my closet...
You want to make sure you uninstall CWM and revert back to the stock boot before you run the update from Verizon.

Is using RevoToolKit and installing the "!!!REVO STOCK!!!" the same as your reference of the "stock boot?"
Maybe I am making the assumption than the RevoToolKit's, "Revo Stock" image is correct, when in fact I should just leave the stock image that comes with LGNPST???

I did NOT use adb, and used CWM to restore the nandroid backup. SO either option apparently yields same results.
Maybe this issue stems back to the first day and first root of the phone and doing something different. I would assume using LGNPST would get the phone to its truly stock form though... ?

Was a bit confused as to how to remove clockwork and why it disappeared on me earlier, but I think the answers to those questions are one and the same. (I'm not used to revotoolkit, rooted and installed cwm before revotoolkit existed and hence never installed it until today . . . )
I skipped flashing your revo stock zip, assuming my original back up would be good enough, but apparently I was wrong.

When you use the RevoToolKit to flash the stock boot image, you are replacing (removing) the CWM recovery. It is all one step essentially.
The instructions to 'remove CWM and reinstall stock' are actually 1 step.

right. that's where i got confused, never having used revotoolkit!
you hit "install clockwork recovery" at the bottom right, choose !!RevoStock!!, and reboot. this will both install the stock recovery and delete cwm.
I couldn't update to v6, either. but following mt's instructions worked. it's essentially what i had tried previously, though i had restored my own backup of v4 rather than flash the zip mt posted earlier; flashing the zip made the difference.

Try this recovery for ICS maybe work. If boot work maybe in ICS the problem is recovery.fstab
The partition is different of HoneyComb?

I just tried it on ICS B4 and get the same "Can't mount /data!" error after backing up the boot image, recovery img and system that I got with CWM 4.0.1.4.
Backup to internal card errors with "Can't mount backup path". Whoops! I didn't mount the EMMC. Probably would get the same error as with the external sd.
Recs designed for HC wont wont on ICS as ICS has different partitions.
If we ever get an ICS build that uses the same partitions then the recs for HC will also work on it
Edit: 5.0.2.8 is mirrored and linked to the wiki now

Any with ICS, You can enter the recovery (CWM 5.0.2.8) and go to Advanced-> Show Log
After this reboot to system. Open Root filemanager and go to cache/recovery/last_log (To read the last_log must copy it to another route) & copy the info here.
And repeat the process with Stock Recovery of ICS (Attach ICS Stock Recovery of the ICS B4 of DJ_Steve ROM).

and you ran "fastboot flash recovery ./recovery.img" ? And you made sure your device is in fastboot mode first?
ok this what i did, i Press VOL + AND POWER at the same time and gave me fastboot.
Then plug in the phone to the computer and the computer detects it but when i go to the computer devices it does not show anything available.
I do have the ROM MANAGER app Installed and flash the recovery mode but it does not show up when i press VOL - AND POWER, It just turns ON.
just type in "fastboot devices". if you see "? device" than you are good. If not you need to install the fastboot drivers.

Any additional details would be helpful. Did you try to flash the restore to stock file before trying to flash your back up? And did you use bootstrap to make the original back up or safestrap?

I restored data manually (advanced) then it would go to the red M screen, then a blank screen with the backlight on.
I tried booting into stock recovery and a factory reset, didn't work.
Fastboot did though

I flashed the mikeyxda's version 7 online/offline with Safestrap to my safe system and it caused my safe system to boot loop. Unsafe system is working ok however.

But did you try flashing the stock zip in the same thread as the google now files? I would hope that file would have solved your problem without the need for rsd....

How did you flash mikeyxda's version 7 online/offline to your stock unsafe ROM? Did you install a ROM to the safe side and flash that? When I attempt to flash a zip to the unsafe I get the warning that I cannot flash a .zip in unsafe mode.

He used bootstrap, not safestrap, a completely different recovery.

Yeah, I might have caused some confusion by saying "unsafe" . My apologies.

CWM says no files found

I have a BIG PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
I rooted my Dell Streak 7 from T-Mobile it has the sim card slot so I guess it's not the wifi only one. i installed rom manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.0 everything was working fine. Then I downloaded a rom an boot into recovery when i went to install zip from sd card i clicked on it and said no files found. Wherever I click says that. I dont know what t do anymore!!!!
Also, my friend sold it to me because it freezes a lot out of nowhere. I thought that maybe upgrading the firmware or installing a kernel could fix it but I cant even flash a rom. I have a optimus one and it never gives me any trouble.
I tried googling for answers and looked all over xda but couldn't find a solution.
Please help me!!!!! Thank you in advance!!!

LOL, you didn't need to flash CWR to upgrade to honeycomb. Just download the correct update.pkg and using the stock recovery, flash the package.
So what do I do now? format the whole thing? and where can I get that update?

Look for links here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official and then fastboot the stock recovery. Once you have the stock recovery, you can install the HC Update.pkg.
I have a bigger problem now, the ds7 everytime i turn it on now it shows cwm recovery mode, i did a android backup and i restore it, reboot and still shows recovery after reboot. What do I do?

You may want to NVflash back to Froyo with this: http://d-h.st/iXc and then from that stock recovery install the HC Update.pkg. From there you can Fast boot CWM or TRWP.
kind of the same problem

I tried to go back to 2.2, but the orginal problem is still there (stuck in boot loop shows the dell logo and does nothing else) I know it isn't bricked can get into fastboot and nvflash. (it is a dell streak 7 4g (t-mobile)). I know there is something I am doing wrong I just haven't figured out what it is. Any advice would be great. This is a different device than the other dell streak I asked about earlier...
