Run the setup dcs in the Android ask folder and make sure you do it as admin in Vista and 7. You'll probably have to force http in options, most people do.

what fixed it?
Hey guys, just got me a dell streak 7 with android 3.2. I really wanna root it, but I've read the instructions posted in the other threads & its just not making sense, can someone explain it easier? ON how to put the clockworkmod image on a sd card, etc...?
Thanks!
1. Download Fastboot+ADB.zip
2. UNzip the file and copy the whole folder to C:\
3. Assuming the name of the Field u unzipped is "Fastboot+ADB", rename thsi folder to ADB (I only rename the folder for simplicity when enter the path in command promt) also do some reading on how to install ADB
4. Now go to Start> Run. enter CMD in RUN
5. that should open a command prompt defaulted to C:\ Documents and Settings \XXXX (your could have different path XXXX here is additional path)
6. Now in Command prompt change directory to ADB folder (if u renamed folder in step 3) or Fastboot+ADB(if u didnt rename folder in step 3)
you initial path would be C:\ Documents and Settings \XXXX (your could have different path XXXX here is additional path)
now change directory C:\ Documents and Settings \CD C:\ADB \tools (if u renamed folder in step 3) and hit enter
now change directory C:\ Documents and Settings \CD C:\Fastboot+ADB\tools(if u didnt rename folder in step 3) and Hit enter
7. now your path would be C:\ADB \tools
8. C:\ADB \tools fastboot.exe (hit enter, that should give some commands that u can use with fastboot ).
9.Copy the File Clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 recovery.img(rename this to recovery.img) and superuser7.zipon to root directory of the internal Streak 7
10. now get your streak into Fastboot mode (look at Setting up fastboot for Windows -XDA wiki)
11. Connect your streak to computer and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (sample what it looks like i command prompt C:\ADB \tools fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img) and hit enter
12. u should some messages on your streak something like writing recover.img(the process dosent take no longer than 1 min MAX)
13. now open the SDcarf slot cover and do reset pushing into the pinhole next to SD card reader. teh streak will be turned off and with thsi your device should be CMW enabled
Rooting:
1. assuming your device is turned off, get the device into recover mode (see wiki how to get streak into recovery) and select update from update.zip(user volume rocker to navigate up and won and power button to select )
2. then after quick 2 secs that should give additional options (cant recall options as I don't have my streak with me right now) select the option where it says like Internal memory and navigate to update.zip and select the file. process would run for quick min or so and now once u see the process has complete select option to reboot device and that's it u are done.
Move this to Generic section, should not be in DEV
Thanks for your help... It took me a bit... But it all worked out.. now to try some ICS...

hey, i have an issue while using fastboot. apparently i am missing the drivers, and my DS7 and PC never get to communicate while my DS7 is in fastboot mode. I unzipped the fastboot plus drivers on my pc, and even tried to point via divice manager on PC, still not able to communicate. What do you think?
PC : AMD althon 64. Win7pro 64;
DS7: Andriod 2.2.2 kernel 2.6.32.09

Tried everything
Installed drivers so I can see my streak on my computer. But everytime I go to fastboot I get a ? fastboot when I type the devices command, and when I try to flash recovery says it can't find recovery. I'm running the stock honeycomb right now and would like to start trying some new roms. Any help would be appreciated.

Umm where are we getting the update.zip file that is referred to in the last paragraph? And what if CWM isn't mounting the SDcard or internal memory?
sd card isnt mounting after i tried installing 3 muskterrs 11th june rom... just keeps saying that the sd card isnt mounted. tried mounting in the clockwork mod area and that filed also. any help?
First what is your Hboot ?
If you are on 1.25 Hboot then download the attachment and follow this steps via PC :
-connect your phone to PC, and open CMD
-type the following:
1 Locate to downloaded folder (e.g. : if you moved the downloaded file to root of C then you should write this cd c:/android)
2 adb remount
3 adb push vold.fstab /system/etc
4 adb reboot
Edit: i am using this ROM with 1.25Hboot and haven't faced any problem with SDcard mount ..... anyway you can use 3rd party app from playstore to mount the SDcard
didnt work......got the adb remount to work in cmd but the other 2 commands didnt work.

There is no reason why they should not work, if you was aloud to remount /system/ did you copy the void file to the same folder as adb.exe?

If you read the OP it says that it may not work so its best to use a 3rd party app to mount the sdcard... I use multi mount sd from play store
I saw a lot of threads asking for instructions on how to use ADB to reboot into recovery, Push/Pull Files, etc, etc.
Just follow this guide to set up ADB in 5 seconds WITHOUT THE ANDROID SDK.
This ADB setup is less than one MB and no need to download the entire useless (for us, anyway) Android SDK.
1. Extract the Mini ADB archive attached below to any folder.
2. Just use the RunME.bat file to open a console directly in the ADB folder, so you can get started directly without the cd command!
To reboot into recovery:
Extract, Open RunMe.bat, type adb reboot recovery.
That easy.
Just make sure to have LG Phone Drivers installed beforehand.

When you have bootloops:
Remove battery.
Re insert.
Connect phone to computer using USB.
Try to turn on phone, when bootanimation keeps looping,
run the runme.bat, type adb reboot recovery.
Done
And remember to press thanks

You can use adb also to install applications from your pc. I keep copies of my apks on windows machine - sending via usb and installing from phone is a tedious task (mounting usb, copying file, unmounting, waiting for sdcard scanning, navigating to apk file, installing). Just type:
adb install -r name.apk
USB debugging should be on.
I've created a batch and registry entry so I just make right click on apk and choose "install to sd" or "install to phone"

That's just one thing adb can do! Apart from reebooting normally and recovery, You can push/pull files to/from any folder, you can take logcats, and on ics, you can use adb to even take phone backups!
Also, could you share the bat and registry file? Looks interesting.
Sure, I'll post it here in the evening (in 4 hours)
Yup it would be really very useful and if someone has something to share related to adb please do so... it would be really very usefull for all ob users.

I could add it to the OP. With credits of course....
Ok, here you go:
the scripts assume that adb.exe is extracted to e:\MiniADB\
download attachments and remove .txt extension from them.
put scripts install.bat and install_tel.bat to e:\MiniADB and run (double click and confirm in Vista/W7/W8 to run as administrator) apk_install.reg.
After that you will get two options in context menu for apk files:
Install in phone
Install in SD card
First option will install application in phone's memory, second in sd card. If application is already installed, it will be overwritten.
If you wish to put MiniADB somewhere else you have to:
modify install.bat and install_tel.bat and replace e:\MiniADB\ with your path
modify apk_install.reg and replace e:\\MiniADB\\ with your path but remember to make all \ doubled \\
Example:
if you want to put MiniADB into c:\Android\MiniADB then replace e:\\MiniADB\\ with c:\\Android\\MiniADB\\ in a .reg file
Those scripts are for Windows only. I'm not sure if it works for Windows NT/9x as registry file format was changed as I remember.
Edit:
USB debugging must be on in a phone to adb work properly. Phone must be connected to computer
Sorry for delay

Download a rom and put it in your adb folder
hold in shift and right click on your adb folder - 'open folder in terminal' or similar (not at my computer atm) should be there
Type
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Or
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
both must be done in recovery. If you do the sideload method, choose the sideload option in recovery - once it transfers it will begin to install automatically. 'adb push' will put the file onto your sdcard then install it yourself in recovery.

It says device not found.
What about if you go into fastboot in the bootloader screen and type
fastboot devices
Maybe you need to reinstall your adb files...
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
then you need to install HTC drivers for your phone. If configured correctly you can do adb devices and it will show up.
If you have drivers installed correctly under device manager the phone shows up as My HTC. Make sure you aren't using a USB 3 port if your computer has one.
Reboot your computer. That worked for me. I did the same thing
Also download HTC all in one tool kit. Its a lifesaver.

No, adb must be done in recovery.
Go into recovery and try
adb devices
If nothing shows up you need to re-install/update your adb files and HTC drivers.
If your devices shows up this time then do what I said earlier...

You can either reboot the computer or stop and restart the adb service from the windows management console. The driver for fastboot and adb are the same so I suspect it's something with adb server acting up
I'm guessing you update adb files via sdk manager?
