Restoring the Streak 7 using NVFlash

Restoring the Streak 7 using NVFlash
This will bring your device back to the unrooted 2.2.2 stock ROM. This has only been tested by the OP (me) on a T-Mobile 4G version. If you use this on other models, I cannot guarantee it's usefulness.
(Windows Only Instructions) If you’re a Linux user, you should be able to 'translate' this yourself.
This is for those who cannot use fastboot or adb. If you can successfully use these tools, DO NOT use NVFlash. You will lose all your data on your device. Do not proceed with these instructions if you are not expecting to lose all personal data on the device.
Step 1) APX Drivers – To work in NVFlash mode you need to install the drivers for the nvidia boot-recovery device. Power off your device and disconnect it from the computer. Hold down the Volume up & down buttons while plugging in the USB cable. (Or leave the USB cable attached and hold the pinhole ‘power off’, hold down the volume Up & Down and release the pinhole ‘power off’.) (The volume button seems like a rocker switch, but you can hold down both sides at once)
Your computer should now recognize the Streak 7 as an APX device. Manually install it using the nvidia boot-recovery drivers.

Step 2) Install NVFlash. For ease of function simply create a folder on your C:\ drive called ‘nvflash’. Download the nvflash zip and extract it to the nvflash folder.
Step 3) Download the 13 img files that make up the original partitions of the device. Files p2.img through p14.img. Put these files in the C:\nvflash folder. ***You can skip the 14.img file (Don't put it in the NVFlash folder) if you want to attempt to keep your original internal SD Card data, but again, no guarantees.

Step 4) Launch (double-click) the Restore.bat file from the C:\nvflash folder. This batch command will begin copying the partitions to the device. Wait patiently as your device is being restored.
Step 5) Once all of the partitions have been written, use the pinhole ‘power off’ button next to the SD card to power off the device. Now power it back on normally to enjoy your restored Streak 7.
If you have trouble with any of the links or corrupted files, please pm me or reply to this thread.
That's all I can do folks. Ran out of free space on my free storage site.
*** Update *** If you are still stuck at boot logo, check to see if you can get into fastboot mode, if so,
finish restoring with the fastboot method.
************* Also, I recently used this method to restore from Honeycomb. I too was again stuck at the Dell logo. However, I was able to use the recovery menu (Vol Up + Power) and do a factory reset and was fine from there.

Figured it might fail. Its the biggest one and it dropped a few times in the transfer. Will give a heads up when it is available. Might not be till the morning.

I was able to restore my boot and recovery partitions using the files you have already provided. Thanks for the excellent work. I am now using Clockwork to finish the job for the system recovey.

Thank you so much for sharing.
Downloaded files and waiting for p14.

im having trouble downloading p11 also. tried flashing all but p11, but nothing has changed!?!? thanks for sharing
edit: did finally get p11 to download, tried again, still no change. everything said it went fine on nvflash, but streak 7 still stuck in apx mode?

So- I have gone from a corrupted system that would boot with no fastboot or recovery mode into an operating environment that was unusable due to repeated force closures. Now thanks to these files I have been able to restore my system and finally apply Steve's 2.2.2 rooted with clockwork. Thanks to Illdill, Steve and everyone on the forum!

You will need the p11 for a successful restore. p14 may not be required as some have had success without it. Keep trying for the p11 file. It may be an issue with the online storage site I chose, or if you could use a download manager, that may help.

What happens when you use the pinhole to power it off then attempt to power it on normaly?
Also, are you using the flash.cfg, flash.bct, fastboot.bin and bootloader.bin from the nvflash.zip I provided?

tried 3 times, seem still cant get pass the boot screen. question, when i press up + down and plug in the usb, nothing happen but the buttons lights up... then i clicked restore and it runs all 12 files.... then i reboot.... still stuck at boot screen...

Yes, nvflash mode should only give you the back, menu and home lights. Screen will remain black.
Can you get into fastboot or recovery?

worked for me without p14 Thanks man! Although I have a replacement coming.. at least I can play with it, configure it the way I want again then back it up, then when the new one comes just restore it to that one

Oh and another thing.. everything on my internal sd card was still there! All the files that were there that I downloaded, my titanium backups, clockwork recovery back ups.. all of that was there

Dell Streak 7 - always boots into CWM - no fastboot

I picked up a Dell Streak 7 from my nephew. He said he erased his data (formatted?). It now boots into Clockworkmd Recovery v3.0.2.0 - ALWAYS. I cannot get it to boot into fastboot, etc.
I have read many forms posts, and there is varying degrees of succes by other people. I have installed adb and fastboot applications on my pc, but I cannot see the unit connected - so, I can't upload any roms. I can go into CWM mod and mount the USB so I can transfer files to the sdcard.
If you have a solution, or can point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.
for now, I'm still searching.....

You can start with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak_7/Flashing_Guide#Setting_up_fastboot_for_windows and search for anything with the word "Guide" in it. Seems like you need to HVflash something else first to start off and go from there.

I've read the link a few times. The problem is my unit ALWAYS boots into the CWM. I CANNOT get it to boot into fastboot. ADB and Fastboot do not see the unit.
I haven't tried nvflash yet. Still reading, trying not to brick the unit in the process.
Should I be trying to restore the unit to factory defaults? What it proper ROM to load? Update.zip?

You probably don't have the proper drivers loaded. I had a problem with drivers at first also, they are in the download but buried inside other folders which isn't clearly explained in anything I ever read. You must have the ADB and fastboot files in the same folder.
NVflash wipes everything and might be your best bet.
You can install any ROM you want. I'm on ICS B4 but might be using this to go back to HC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26033321#post26033321

Got it going.
I had to use nvflash to flash the ROM into the system. But first, I had to find the drivers. I used the Nvidia drivers.

can you please elaborate..
Same thing happened to me this morning. I went into settings/ account to erase my personal data and do a factory reset. For some reason it went into CWM, so i did the wipe data and everything seemed ok, but then it Always booted in CWM and haven't been able to get out..
Mine is a Tmo 4g version, I still had the 2.2.2 on it and want to keep it that way.

Nvflash according these instructions :

Only boots to CWM - PC not recognizing it in NVflash mode
I have a S7 that will only boot to CWM (dell logo and straight into CWM). I bought it cheap that way figuring I could fix it. I think I get it into NVflash mode by holding the + and - volume buttons and clicking the power reset button by the SD card slot while the USB is plugged in. It lights up the three touch buttons and the power green light is on but my PC does not see it. I'm running windows 8. Please help. I have everything I need to NVflash per the above link but can't get back the PC recognizing the S7.
Thank you very much.

3.41 bootloader info from google support

Well I decided to call Google about the boot loader recovery not working as it should. I was hoping this call would help them to work on another update but they say that's the way its supposed to work. Here's the email Instructions:
1. Power down your device
2. Press and hold both volume keys and the power button to enter
Bootloader mode
3. Press the volume keys to cycle to the Recovery mode option
4. Press the power button to select Recovery mode
5. From the Recovery mode screen, press and hold the Power button then
press the Volume up button.
6. Use the volume buttons to select wipe data/factory reset.
7. Select Yes -- delete all user data.
8. The factory data reset process will now start. Once its finished,
select 'Reboot system now.'
The only option we have in the new recovery is to wipe data. Maybe for those having problems accessing twrp or cwm will be able to a access it with step 5. I don't know haven't rooted yet. So I decided to ask about nvflash and they said they're not going to release any nvflash tools or files.

um, yup. thats how stock bootloader and stock recovery work. lol
whats the issue? if your not even rooted, you wouldn't even know if you have an issue or not with the new bootloader.

Are you saying that you can't flash a different recovery? Or that when you do you still get the same stock recovery? I'm not quite sure what the issue is here, because that is exactly how the stock bootloader, and recovery are supposed to work.
Are you making sure to unlock fastboot before trying to flash recovery. I don't recall seeing or hearing anyone say anything about not being able to get to clockwork mod once its installed.

No. I saw people posting they couldn't get go cwm and could only see the red exclamation point. And I was just saying maybe after choosing recovery then holding volume up and power it would then go to cWm or twrp. I was hoping for someone to try it who is still on 3.41 Recovery. A lot of people downgraded back to 3.39 or whatever version it was

I can confirm that to get in to the stock recovery you hold down 'power' and then tap 'vol up'.
At present I am running the latest CWM touch recovery. This boots straight into it from the bootloader without any extra button presses.
My personal preference to go into CWM is from either QuickBoot or ROM Manager.

I wonder why some on 3.41 can't go straight to twrp and some can. Sorry for the ahole comment I thought you were trying to be a smartass towards me. I'm just trying to find out as much info from people before I root. I am experienced at flashing and a little adb but I just read a lot of HELP BRICKED MY NEXUS posts. Did you use wugs toolkit or adb to unlock and root?

When I first flashed TWRP onto my Nexus 7 after that official 4.1.2 OTA update, I wasn't able to boot into it. I then flashed it again via fastboot, and then booted the TWRP image that was on my computer, and then TWRP loaded.
I believe TWRP does work normally now as well (I can boot into it and reboot into it).

Well if I was you I'd just use mskips toolkit, its absolutely epic it'll save you a lot of farting around. I take it that your fully updated? ( Not that it matters) You seem to know and understand your way around adb so just go for it and enjoy.
Its works smooth as silk and save you a lot off time. The options available to you are just staggering!

No need for personal insults, lets just try to help each other out and show each other some respect.​

going to recovery from bootloader works fine after 3.41.....wat r u talkin abt? (i m stock rooted+twrp)
oh yea...u hav 2 remove that recovery stock.p file thingy first.

There are plenty of people that are having issues with recovery on 3.41 bootloader.... Its confirmed some have it some don't.
The issue is that with 3.41 bootloader on some Nexus 7 Devices a custom recovery is unbootable no matter how you try, every time it will try to load recovery and fail at a black screen then reboot into the OS. It does not matter how you try from ADB reboot to recovery or from bootloader with USB attached or not.

Ohh crap I read about that in some thread. Any idea exactly what has to be done. The only way I can get into cwm is with ROM toolbox but I have to reflash cwm every time then hit boot into recovery.

In your system folder there's a file called 'recovery-from-boot.p'
Go into a file manager with w/r access and rename it ' recovery-from-boot.p.bak'
When the system boots it reads that file and resets the recovery to stock, by changing the name you remove the problem.

Right so when you power the Kindle on and you see the yellow kindle boot animation, hold the volume up rocker. Keep holding it and the blue TWRP boot animation will show. Continue holding the volume rocker up for three seconds and release. You should enter TWRP. Now flash whatever ROM is on your internal memory. Otherwise just adb sideboard a ROM while in TWRP.

That worked for getting back into the menu but unfortunately I still couldn't boot up cm11 it asked me again if I wanted supersu installed and I got the same thing, I was able to revert back to the normal os by factory resetting and restoring the backup and I'm not able to connect the kindle to my pc anymore to transfer data. : ( Oh and when I boot up I get the normal boot logo then the blue then it actually starts to boot up, it's really weird.

UPDATE
So I decided to do a full wipe while in the recovery menu because I kept getting messages about installing supersu and stuff while in the normal os, I ended up with no os and since I can't mount it onto my pc I think I bricked it to the point of no return. : /

Dont bother, I have tried for a week straight trying to unbrick mine. I did a factory reset and it destroyed my whole filesystem. :/

i just got mine so i just got a replacement from amazon

Mine was a present and I have no idea where they got it and they tossed the receipt. I'm sol. I'm broke so RMA may take a while as well! xD

Also for getting into recovery follow these steps. Turn off. Hold volume down and also power. When Asus pops up release power and keep hold of volume until the bootloader appears. On bootloader go down to boot recovery. When it reboots to an android guy hold volume up and down at the same time. Let go of volume up and do this r over and over until it goes to recovery. The steps are ridiculous but I know it for sure because my last week of trying to fix mine has been hell.

what update are you trying to flash?

Steps to unbrick (if you can get into fastboot)

I bricked mine, but I am adventurous so found a method to recover to factory.
I'm not providing links as they are searchable here on XDA.
The steps are:
1) Get the factory image from Asus
2) Get FB Tethered Recovery Launcher
3) boot into fastboot mode
4) Hook up to computer
5) ensure the device is listed with correct drivers
6) Run ADB (from your platform tools, there is a copy in FBRL folder)
8) copy the zip file from Asus to the device (adb push /path/to/local/file /mnt/sdcard/path/to/file)
9) Run launcher from FB recovery
10) Choose T2 option, follow prompts to let it do it's thing
11) You should boot into CWM on the device
12) install from zip and point to the zip file you pushed earlier
13) Follow the prompts, and presto, restored to factory and can root/update etc.

I'd like to say thanks to the good info posted here and in other threads. I got stuck in a boot loop tonight and had no idea if I'd be able to fix it. Here's what I did (combination of this thread and others)
My method requires an micro SD card and an Internet connection
1. Confirm you can boot into fastboot:
---->Reboot into fastboot (droid boot) by powering device off (hold power button down), then holding down volume up while powering on. I released the up button once the screen went blank. It should eventually present options to reboot into droidboot, reboot, update from SD, etc.
2. Download the newest firmware from ASUS
YOU NEED THE WW version most likely (worldwide?)
3. Save this to the root of your SD card
4. rename file to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
5. Insert card into tablet.
6. While in droidboot/fastboot Choose the option to update from SD. It reboots and uploads the firmware. I was pleasantly surprised that I got my tablet back so easily.
Hope this helps some other poor soul.

There are other methods, but in simplicity, yours seems to win the match. Thank you very much.

How did you get cwm?

I do not get the option to Update from SD while in DroidBoot...why is that? I get the other options...REBOOT, REBOOT DROIDBOOT, RECOVERY, POWER OFF.
Please help! I've already sent this back to Asus, and they just sent it right back to me.

Click on recovery. Inside recovery you'll get a "no command" screen. Hit the center of the volume rocker (it'll take a few tries) and you'll see the update command.

thanks Jerbear (Love the name, Deadhead!), I did this which brings up regular Android recovery, but no option to update except through ADB.

Try this, then.
In the main thread somebody linked a temporary cwm session. Try booting into it and installing the update from there (Nandroid while you're at it )

Why would I not even have the option though??

I'm not exactly sure.

I need some help. I have average experience with ADB and cannot get ADB to recognize my device. Debugging on of course, and I dowloaded the zip for the drivers. I don't really know where to go from here. Any help will be greatly appreciated! I need to get this thing back up and running!!

I'm at the Android System Recovery, however, there's no option to apply update from SD...only apply update from ADB...

In this case use the Intel Atom temporary ClockWorkMod to flash it.

Thanks for your reply...I'm not really sure what you're referring to, but is this about ADB sideloading? I already tried but this comes up...
Now I don't know what to do...so I badly need anyone's help here...thanks in advance!
