What's Wrong With My Computer!?!?!

I have two PC's, one is a XP Media Center Edition. It had a virus on it and kept getting a corrupt file, so my techyish relative came and wiped the hard drive from scratch ( or so he says but it was a partial wipe) and reloaded the OS onto it. It worked fine, but then kept getting the corrupt file again. I then decided to order the recovery disks from HP, which is the computer manufactuer. They arrived and I put them in, followed the steps, and all wen well until I came to the recovery partition. It was backing everything up ( one time process only) into the recovery partition all fine and dandy until it came to a file that had to do with Microsoft Office. It stayed their for about 45 minutes backing up this file where the longest had been 10 minutes max for all the others. I looked the file up and it said it was a small 10 mb file, so I turned the computer off and went to normal without the recovery partition. Worked fine until one day something happened and I guess I needed to do the recovery again (it's been a few months since this has happened) and did all the steps, but it wouldn't take. It gets to about 4% and then dies with a BSOD and this message:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Copied it down word for word, space for space. Can anyone help me get this thing up and running again? It's now getting important.

Forgot to mention that I get the same problem each time I put the recovery disk in.

I'd recommend using a NON-Recovery Disk, but rather a Clean, Non-OEM, Windows Disk. If the issue pertains to the Kernal, it's usually unfixable without a Hard Boot of the Drive. You should do more than Re-Format.. you should delete all the partitions off of your Hard Drive with a Windows Disk, then pop in the Recovery Disks and do the OEM install.

So I need to wipe the hard drive clean again and put in another non OEM OS?

Not quite. Wipe the HDD clean with the NON-OEM Windows Disk, as most Recovery Disks do not allow you to alter the Partitions [Everything is done for you], then pop in your Recovery Disk and let it install the new Primary, and possibly the Recovery, Drives.

I see what your saying now, so what exactly happened to it?

Get Windows 7

I have windows 7, that's my other computer.

The guy at the un paso store got you too!!

At the step store? Lol.

When your supposed "Tech Savvy" friend attempted to fix your computer.. he, I'm assuming, did a simple "Repair" of the partition with an XP Disc. That is LITERALLY the most unwanted version of a fix ever... All it does is replace the system files, but keeps all of the other software that may have been conflicting with the system itself, BUT usually, all of the software is inaccessible. It's still on your computer, f*cking it up, but you can't see it.
Thus I always say, "If you get a bluescreen... more than once, and don't know what the code means... don't repair your computer.. re-format that b*tch after recreating the partitions."
But, if your XP compy has the specs to support Windows 7, your best bet, all in all, would be to install Windows 7. Doing so will save you the hassle of having to manually download all of the drivers for it... unlike installing a non OEM Windows XP [have to download & install the drivers manually].

PurpleLlamaLover
it sounds like the HP recovery disk could well be corrupt,
So you now have 3 options:
1. Try Linux Ubunut 10.4 LTS (Free Distro)
2. Buy a ligit copy of Windows 7
3. Download Windows Vista / 7 / XP from a torrent
and try untill you find a OS you lyk

I'll try and get 7 for it. It was the last of the XP models, just before vista so i'd think it should be able to run 7. Think I need a new hard drive?

Bro that Simon_WM guys a genius. Listen to him.

Yea. This is my computer here, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3257746&lang=en#N1030

it may run with a lag

I just want it back up and running, I don't want vista though. On the little windows sticker is says "Vista Capable" but i've heard bad things about it, especially rom updating.

ummm i use vista and have updated all my win mo phones on it...never had a problem

Really? Well, i'll keep in mind if I can't get XP back on it. I'd rather just have 7 and XP. I don't care what it runs as long as it runs again.

the best suggestion in this thread was install linux , however i take it that isn't a possibility. so here's what you need to do, you will require the following:
1) a fresh mind
2) a freshly burned copy of XPwhateverflavoryouwant
3) you do not care about anything on that drive.
put in freshly burned xp into computer, boot to cd drive, follow onscreen instructions, delete all partitions, create new NTFS partition, install to new partition.
if error comes back, it is not a software issue. fixing a xp bsod really is simple if it isnt hardware related.

PS Freedom Xperia Walkthrough [UPDATED 2/1/11]

Happy new Year and thank you for yor feedback, I may be late to the party but my work is killing my spare time. So, Iam trying to update the walkrthough to cope with the ongoing developments.
On a side note I've upgraded my xperia to an android device but Iam keeping it for jailbreaking purposes
Lets get it on!
Assuming your device is covered in the compatibility list you have to have the device rooted.
For how to Root (HARD-SPL) Your Xperia X1 check Here!!
Then its a matter of OS, in this thread we are talking about HTC Devices that run WinMo as a native Operating System. This hack works only in Linux enviroment so we need Android to run on the device.
How to run android depends on the particular device so one must go to the respective thread.
For Xperia its this thread
The Froyo Development has stopped but the current version is far superior than what we used some months ago.
In short dowload the xdandroid stuff, put the unrared files on your sd's root and boot through HARET once.
-
We now should be at a point that our device boots normally to The 2.2 froyo android version through Haret. Then we have to replace the module and zImage files with the PSfreedom respective ones plus the psfreedom.ko file. All these should be placed and overriten in the root folder of the SDCard.
Here is the latest Payload for Xperia
(need some help with the changes, but Iam impressed so far with the outcome)
All the preliminary work is done, now for the ****ty "do this everytime you wanna play back ups" job
Assuming the phone is off...
Turn it on
Wait for winmo to boot then run HARET from the device's file manager
Wait till android fully boots and navigate to the menu->DevTools->Terminal Emulator
in the terminal you must enter the following lines...
su(enter)
cd(space)/sdcard(enter)
insmod(space)psfreedom.ko(enter)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At this point the phone is ready
Pull out the power cord of the PS3 (or flip the backswitch to off)
insert the phone at the first usb port (preferably with the shortest USB cable you can find)
flip the switch or insert the power cord
wait 3 to 4 seconds
press power on followed quickly by eject
you should hear 3 short blips
it takes 5 seconds for PS3 to boot
and DONE.
if it doesnt succed just repeat the process. if it never suceeds then you don't run @ 3.41 FW
[UPDATE#0] I Updated the PSFreedom Files link from the "Homebrew only" Free version to the Backup Enabled "Full" Version. Still Ver 1.0 though...
[UPDATE#1] It definatly needs 4,5 tries, I cannot get it to work in the first try...
[UPDATE#2] Everytime I try to run a backup my FAT PS3 Freezes... and to think I came this close...
[UPDATE#3] Stupid me, didn't check it out in the above compatibility list... tried another one works like a charm
[UPDATE#4] If you are 100% sure you did everything right and still you cannot perform the exploit on the console you should not turn off the device and boot it again, you can have it in terminal mode as long as you wish and perform the exploit on the PS3 again and again... This is also usefull when the console freezes or crashes, you just perform the power cycle only!!
Well There goes one day of my life I think I covered more than the basics, If you thing I helped you I would appreciate a line or two
[UPDATE#5] Went out today and felt like spending 300 Euros, got my self a Slim one. I will be testing it later today...
[UPDATE#6] I found out that the PS3 Slim model has a much greater success rate for the hack to work. Also, I tried all the steps and bypassed the active sync stuff and I can confirm that by bypassing it, IT WILL NOT WORK
[UPDATE#7] 5 Days into this and 3 with the slim model, slim works better BUT, the problems occure because of the xperia hardware/xdandroid port... it works but not always, its nerve wracking I know, so do the Developers of PS Freedom as they updated their wiki Raphael page page in the problems worning section.
aaaanyway, Tomorow Iam upgrading my HDD my old one is full.
[UPDATE#8] 11 days later and I have updated my fat ps3 to 3.42 and kept my slim hacked. Its a tedious work to enable every time xdandroid and the psfreedom hack but as I said it is free, anyway, having the slim console AND a very short cable (mine is 10cm) works EVERY SINGLE TIME, no probs with that. I had though 2 issues of console freezing... I don't know if it is the hack or my new HDD (7200rpm) nothing serious though...
[UPDATE#9] I've tried to replace the active sync step and connected the device to ps3, first time it worked, second time it failed...
[UPDATE#10] Well, thats it for me, I could no longer cope with the tedious steps in order to play for an hour, I've bought a jailbreak clone and flashed my xperia with a diffrent rom and formatted my SDcard. for the time being, Iam no longer using the Raphael hack...
[UPDATE#11] As it turns out my jailbreak clone is not upgradable (it was damn cheap after all). Anyways, I browsed to PSFREEDOM.com to see the development of the raphael hack and to my surprise i found out two things...
a) This thread is hotlinkedvia this page http://psfreedom.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_XPERIA_X1, which is kinda cool I guess...
b) I found out (probably need to read my thread a little bit more ) that more recent hermes payloads are been released for xperia...
So, I will refresh any broken links, start again, and keep updated this first post agains the willings of our beloved sony
[Update#12] The true reason that I returned is that my fat PS3 pulled a YLOD on me and left me empty handed this holiday season, so I dusted off my jailbreaked one

I did this process again and again but when ps3 start up nothing happened but top of screen this message appeare that the usb device was unknown

The same thing happened with me the first few tries, this message means that the process is not right, I solved this issue by re formatting xdandroid again and carefully placing and overrighting the files...
When you are 100% certain that the procedure is right (according to my walkthroug) then its only a matter o timing... keep trying mate.

First time i run android use original the module and zImage file and then replace them with ps fredoom files or from first i use replaced files??

I think its very clear that you have to boot on android at least once with the original files....
(the initial install and calibration)

I reinstall android 2 times and this time whne i connect device to ps3 no message about unknown device have been shown but ps3 dont show nothing ( manager.pkg) for install
I dont know what problem's.

So you finally done it!!
Under the GAME section on the XMB you should see a new item called "Install Package Files"
take a usb drive and put inside (root) the manager then insert it in the other free usb slot.
Press X at the "Install Package Files" and Install the manager...

Thank You soo much! It works on first try

error
so i managed to get android runnig via fatsal.
when i try to follow your terminal instructions it gives me back errors!
so i figured out actually the right comand is cd(space)/sdcard!!!!
but when i try to do the same with endboot it says no such folder!
so i tryed the next step the insmod psfredoom.ko it does something then i connect to my ps3 do the power trick and all but the most that i get on my ps3 is that "an unkwon device is connected" and nothing else! any suggestion?

What I have gathered together in this walkthrough is what many people suggested and some other people including me found usefull and working.
You probably don't have the proper file arrangement in your SD card
and the actual command line is "cd sdcard" to access the sd card and thed "cd andboot" to access the "andboot" folder where the PS Freedom files reside.
hope I helped

yeah. earlier I placed EVERYTHING in the root instead of making a folder called "andboot" so I'm going to do that again and see what I get. I think it's a bad psfreedom.ko file.

People...
When you installed xdandroid on your xperia the guy who made the port said that you have to create an andboot folder to place the android kernel inside...
so by default you have an andboot folder.
then its a matter of overiting 2 files there... simple as that.

Finally i did it
It works for me now

Perhaps i am stupid, but i cannot get it to work. This is how i do it:
Copy the android files to the sdcard and boot it in the phone with the haret.exe (takes a loooong time to boot). Reboot the phone back to WM, copy over the files module and zImage file, boot back into android with haret, startup terminal, write in the commands and so on. I start up the PS3 as instructed but i only get the message unknown USB and I cannot see any install pkg file.
I have tried and read all the instructions but I cannot understand what I am doing wrong, anyone have a tip?

helps needed
i have been trying make it work all day with no luck. mine is a uk version X1 with original rom. i followed instruction step by step and even reinstall the andriod port several times. however, still not working. always appear unknown usb device on ps3 screen. the only thing i didnt do is that flashing the SPL. is it a necessary step? what's the purpose for flashing the SPL?

actually, the module files from android and the one from psfreedom didn't have the same name... is this an issue ? witch name we have to keep ?
thx for the tuto !

Lenovo Ideapad K1 One-Click Root (Mostly)

First, please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong section. It seemed most appropriate.
Second, I take no credit for anything here except for writing the .bat file here used to do the work, as well as assembling the files as per the original post.
All credit goes to djmwj and his article found here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8722-lenovo-ideapad-k1-rooting-guide-messy/
As the title states, it was very messy. The OP figured out how to make it go, but it was a bit fuzzy to follow. So, I thought I'd help folks out a bit and clean things up.
So, I took the instructions presented in the OP, and condensed them into one download with one .bat that does everything from start to finish, minus installing the respective drivers for ADB and NVFlash. However, the drivers are included in the download.
Instructions:
1. Extract K1Root.rar to the directory of your choosing.
2. Connect your tablet to your PC with the USB cable.
3. With your tablet off, press POWER+VOL_UP+VOL_DOWN until the screen turns on, but displays only black.
4. Windows should detect the device, but not install drivers.
5. Go into device manager, select the APX device, choose update drivers, and install the drivers from the aptly named NVFlash_Drivers folder.
6. Open up the NVFLASH_HOME folder and run the file K1Flash.bat
7. Make your desired choices when prompted, and enjoy.
Notes (PLEASE READ BEFORE USING):
THERE MAY BE BUGS! I used it on my own stuff before releasing, and all of the essential components work as they should, however, there may possibly be a minor hiccup somewhere in the script. This should not damage anything. If you have doubts, you're welcome to examine the .bat and check it for yourself.
Please be gentle. I am not a full-time developer. I just wrote this to help make the process simpler for people.
The OP suggests you download and read the partition table, and then name the backup files based on that. This script names the backup files based on the flash.cfg script referenced in the OP, which is what controls the flashes used anyway. So, there shouldn't be any irregularities, however, I can't speak for every device on the planet.
This does NOT use the latest OTA updates. The rooted files being flashed are the default ones from the original download. You can easily adapt this to any files generated from the latest OTA files by simply dropping them in the NVFLASH_HOME file.
To install the SU properly, you have to install ADB drivers midway through the script. There's probably a way around this, but I didn't find it to be too inconvenient.
The ADB drivers are also located in the NVFLASH_HOME folder. Just do like you did when installing drivers in step #5, but instead point to NVFLASH_HOME.
Um...um...
That should be it. Obviously, use at your own risk. Let me know if there are problems with the script, and I will fix them.
Oh, and party on, Wayne.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AG10XE25
EDIT:
Attached is an updated .bat file which fixes a few errors in the original script, plus adds more userability. Just extract to the NVFLASH_HOME folder and run.

You may want to change the title to Ideapad K1, I don't know if this will work for the Thinkpad tablet.
Thanks for this, I just picked up this tablet ($250 at staples) and was worrying about having to tackle linux and "compiling" just to be able to get hulu.com working. You're a lifesaver.

Wow. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the key used is just for the Ideapad. Thanks for pointing that out. My dumb a$$ must've blanked out and just used the group name when posting.
And just to be fair, the original poster does include everything needed to do stuff in windows as well - it's just very hard to discern from the post.

question
Is anyone working on a custom ROM for this tablet? I am hopeing that there will be at least a few custom roms available at some point in the near future.

We need to be able to root and unlock the bootloader first.

Does the root method work on the 121211 update?
Or is there a way to flash back to the older firmware?

the OTA update 12 12 11.... seems to be update.zip style with no .img files inside. just loose files like normal rom updates. doesnt seeem like you can drop the files in as suggested. or i have the wrong OTA....
oh and is this for LINUX as the OP or work in windows too??

Hi, I was wondering, is this procedure works for the Lenovo ThinkPad 1838-25U? I'm thinking to buy it to give a test ride, i sold my Transformer 101 to buy the Prime but it seems like Asus is taking vacations on the delivery shipments. Is this a good tablet? or is better to wait for another version?

READ THE POST
IDEApad not THINKpad. no it wont work.

First of all- thank you so much for creating this script! I have been putting off rooting this device due to the "messy" nature of the original post.
I was hoping you could help me troubleshoot, I have tried both the new K1 root application and the original .bat file. I know the drivers are working because the script makes it as far as creating and formatting partitions and successfully pushes the bootlooder.bin but then:
bootloader.bin sent successfully
file not found: recovery.img
failed executing command 2147483647 NvError 0x4
command failure: create failed
I've tried everything I can think of... any ideas?
Thanks again.

I found problem.
after root done follow step. I cannot factory reset and update any ota.
anyone can help me ?

It means you are not in APX mode. Read the PDF and follow the instructions for installing the APX drivers. This should fix your issues.http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=50

I recently got this device and looking for a way to root this device without having to roll back to the factory default rom and then having to update again using OTA.
Question, am I in luck, is that at all possible or do I have to really rollback and reinstall everything again?
Thanks!

[Guide] Absolute Newbie's Guide to Rooting a Streak 7 that has Stock Honeycomb

Obviously this guide owes a huge bunch of thanks to "TheManii", "Giveen" and other folks who can't be named on this forum. I have tested this on both a Streak 7 WiFi and a Streak 7 4G. In both cases they had the Stock Honeycomb already on them. So if you are coming from some other version of Android you may wish to reconsider
1) Download the Fastboot+ADB.zip file for Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.7 from the XDA Developers thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334487)
2) Download the Clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 file from the XDA Developers thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334487)
3) Go into Settings->Applications and turn on "Run Applications from Unknown Sources"
4) Go to Development Settings and select "USB Debugging"
5) Unpack the Fastboot+ADB file into a directory on your computer where you can find it again
6) Attach the Streak to your PC, and copy the "Drivers.zip" file from the root directory of the Streak (/sdcard) to the same directory where you unpacked the Fastboot file
7) Turn off your Streak after you have copied this file, and disconnect it from the PC
8) Unpack the drivers.zip file and find the "Setup.MSI" file. Execute this file to install the drivers you will need
9) Put your Streak into Fastboot mode - i.e. turn it off, then turn it on by pressing the Power button while holding the Vol DOWN (-) at the same time. This can take up to 20 seconds
10) You will get some red text followed by a white line saying something about Fastboot USB downloading is active
11) Connect the streak to the PC now, and it should install an Android ADB driver. Depending on what you have already setup you may get some drivers installed successfully, and some not. In general if you've been following this guide, you'll be ok
12) Open a command line for the folder where you have fastboot and your recovery image (ClockWorkMod) - in windows navigate to the folder, and hold the shift key while right clicking
13) On the command line type the following:
fastboot -i 0x413C flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the ClockworkMod or other recovery file)
14) On the command line type the following:
fastboot -i 0x413C reboot
15) Your device should now reboot
16) To get it to reboot into CWM, turn the Streak off, and then turn it on again while holding the Power Button and Volume UP (+) at the same time. This may take up to 30 seconds
From here you would follow the normal CWM options to install just the root files (Superuser7 for one example) or install a custom ROM.

It turns out steps 9 - 15 are also a great way to fix the problem when your Streak comes up and starts asking for a Password when you never setup a password. For some reason installing one of the custom ROMS also installs a version of CWM that is not as recent as the 5 series, which can lead to issues with the signature verification (i.e. when things go "boom", Android sees the partition as encrypted rather than just "locked"). So steps 9 - 15 allow you to put in a later CWM which does a proper wipe, and you're back in business. Have to reinstall apps, but the data is left alone.
Just in case I'm not the only one who has run into this

Ok, I used this guide to modify my Dell Streak 7 wifi. After I was done my screen kept flickering and I put it back to stock thanks to AndroidOVERALL putting together a post on how to complete the restore.
I have searched about the screen flickering but didn't find a resolution. Maybe I missed it, but it seemed that others had the same issue and it was either a hardware problem, the brightness was adjusted, or auto rotate was disabled. I tried adjusting the brightness settings and many other settings but the issue was not resolved until I returned everything to stock.
I have a Dell streak 7 wifi, US version with Honeycomb.
Please point me in the right direction if this issue has been resolved and I missed it. If not any suggestions?

Did you load a custom ROM after following these steps, or did you just reboot aft getting CWM installed. Usually the flickering comes from an issue with the video driver (so can be software if a bad driver, or hardware if it's only marginally in spec).

For any one who gets to the end of the steps and now can boot in go CWM but doesn't know what to do about getting rooted.
Very very Simple.
Download Superuser7.zip
http://www.tablet-cables.com/streak/tools/root/Superuser7.zip
Have your Streak booted normally and USB cable hooked up.
Move to the internal Memory Superuser7.zip
power off device
Power back on using Vol UP & Power Button
Select 2. Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card and press power
CWM will load.
Select install zip from sd card and power to enter.
select Choose zip from internal sd card and power.
use Vol UP to go backwards to your files and select Superuser7.zip and hit power
move down to YES - Install Superuser7.zip and hit power
thats it. its rooted.
goto ++++++++ Go Back+++++++
and reboot system now
and let it reboot.
Not necessary, but I'd suggest running Superuser and hitting the Knob icon top right (settings) and scrolling down and updating Super User.
Hope this helps someone who may not know where to get Superuser7 and what to do after following the great guide above.

thanks!
nothing sucks worse than a bad download -- happend TWICE! (dayum!)

Help?
I am trying to Flash superuser.zip after installing the clockwork.
But I keep getting the following screen. I do not have exterior sd card installed.
What can I do?

It's saying that it is looking for an SD Card and not finding it, so that certainly makes sense. However, it sounds like it is looking for "update.pkg" rather than "superuser.zip", so is it possible you accidentally selected the "Update" option in CWM rather than the option to select a file?

He doesnt have clockwork mod installed, you must have CWM installed to flash zips

OK, I have a new Streak 7 t-mobile with HC 3.2. I plug it to the pc running xp sp3, and it needs drivers for MTP and Streak7. I pointed to the Fastboot+ADB folder I extracted for the Streak7 driver and it installed Android ADB Interface. Pointing there for MTP fails to find a driver. I can't get to the internal SD to get the drivers.zip because my computer won't recognize the Streak until the MTP driver is installed. After installing an MTP driver from the net, I can see the internal and external SD. I copied everything to a single folder labelled STREAK in c:\ and unplug the Streak from the pc. I put the Streak into fastboot mode (Volume - & Power), wait about 10 seconds, then plug it into the usb port. The computer see the Fastboot device and needs a driver. I point it to the STREAK folder (former Fastboot+ADB) but it didn't find a driver it liked. I tried to install manually, but there is no Android 1.0 or Android ABD Interface devices in my list. I do see Android USB Devices, but it is empty when I click on it. ANYBODY else get this, and how do I move forward? I followed the guide to the letter, and appreciate all the work & effort you guys put into making these root methods available. The Streak7 is a cool little device, but I think it will be cooler once I root it. I have rooted my Epic 4g and the wife's Evo 4g on this same computer, and I do have the Android SDK installed (even though I don't know how to use it).
OK, so I used all the same files I have here and was able to successfully get Clockwork flashed & gain root. I dunno why the xp machines don't like these files. I tried 3 other xp laptops before getting to my wife's Windows 7 laptop, which worked just as described in the very well-written guides. #MindBottling!

I cannot even find the drivers.zip in step6. WIN7x64 and a brand new tmobile streak 7. where is this thing? I looked through all the folders and subfolders.

Drivers.zip is in the main directory of the Streak. Open up ES File Manager or a similar program and you should see it. To get it to your PC, attach the Streak via USB and let it mount as external storage (default behavior I believe).

In my main directory on on my streak, using ES file explorer, i cant seem to find that file. I see acct, cache, config, d, ....etc folders, i scroll down, i see default.prop, init, init_recovery.rc, ...... var files, but i dont see drivers.zip. help I need to get honeycomb so I can use skype front facing camera, cause I understand froyo 2.2 can only use the back camera w skype.
Since this should be a common file for all SD7 units, can someone please email that file to me so i can get past step 6. [email protected]

From this I gather your Streak did not ship with Honeycomb. That would explain why you didn't find the file as that is something that I gather Dell added when they changed how they shipped it later on. I am not sure what the redistribution rules are for the file, which is why I haven't posted it myself.
That said, I also can't guarantee this process will work for someone starting with Froyo. I do know there may be an issue with which version of CWM you can use in that case. As such, you may want to check one of the other guides to be sure.

Explain please? Shouldn't drivers be present no matter how it's shipped? Mine came with Froyo with drivers, I OTA'd to HC and I still have them.

Ya I bought this from dell directly about 3 weeks ago. From what I have been reading on XDA, mine is definitely different. Its a tmobile streak 7.
Android 2.2.2
Kernel : 2.6.32.9

Another thing I noticed is that even trying to load CWmod through fastboot, my computer does not recognize the DS7 in fastboot mode. The drivers in the fastboot+ADB zip file dont work on my computer as fastboot drivers (or maybe I should try another CPU). My cpu is an AMD 64; running win7 pro 64; i need some serious help.

I think I bricked!
Ok I followed the directions from here to root my tablet.
http://www.cesgeekbook.com/2011/12/root-dell-streak-7-with-honeycomb-32.html
All went well! Everything worked and I was rooted! did the Superuser7. Clockwork came up and installed. All went right! So I was pleased. I figured I would later than put on a ROM cause it was late. Well was going to do so and tried to go into clockwork via ROM manager. Didn't work! Kept rebooting! So I figured I would try the pother way "Press Power and +" then click to Install from SD Card to go into Clockwork. That didn't work either! Then Now it won't reboot at all! I can get into fastboot and I can get into the bootloader. But that's it! I tried to do a Factory Reset and nothing! it just stays on the Dell boot screen. Anyway to fix the problem? If so, please give me step by step directions on how to do it.

Use of ROM Manager is generally discouraged due to unknowns about how the package will work with other ROMs. It also isn't clear to me which version of CWM you were using.
If you can get into fastboot, then you should still be able to use ADB, and I would suggest trying to reinstall CWM as indicated in the first message of this thread. That way at least you should be at a known good spot for us to try and help you get a custom ROM installed.

Didn't know about the Rom Manager issue. I guess it's only good to use on cell phones? Anyway, I am trying again, but the problem is my laptop is now not reading the tablet when in fastboot mode. I have followed all the step again. Including reinstalling the drivers. But since it's not reading the tablet. I can not reinstall CWM. The version I installed was the one from the 1st page. It's a fairly simple thing to do. But just need to get the device to be read by my laptop.
I have contacted Dell and explained to them the problem. They did say that I can return it to get it fixed. but still kind of hoping I can do it from home.

Not sure what you mean when you say the laptop is not reading the tablet in fastboot mode. When in fastboot it should NOT show up as attached storage. The best way to tell if it is "really" seeing the Streak 7 is in step 13 - which uses an id rather than a device name so that it should work even if the tablet isn't fully identified. If you try to perform step 13 while in fastboot, what message are you getting?

Cannot install novacom on Win 7

I am having trouble with this.
I have tried the universal installer which correctly identifies it as 64bit system. But it fails at download stage, I guess because the file is no longer available where the installer is expecting it.
So then I tried running "NovacomInstaller_x64.msi" by double clicking it, which installs novacomd in my add/remove programs so it seemed to work. But when I run "tptb_v42_win.bat" it says
Code:
Setting Palm path ...
Checking novacom service ...
Loading TPToolbox ...
unable to find device
.
Cannot connect to Touchpad.
Make sure Touchpad is connected with USB cable.
Make sure Touchpad is in webOS Recovery (bootie) mode
(where big USB symbol shows on Touchpad screen)
.
Press any key to continue . . .
The touchpad is definitely on the Web OS recovery screen and connected via USD so I assume it must be to do with drivers not installing properly. Any advice on how I can check drivers?
thanks,
James

You can following this thread ( I have you start at post 405 ) where another user called @smithylovestouchpad had the same issue with novacom not connecting to the server, and he was able to use a backup PC and it worked....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80016590&postcount=405
But that being said, your in luck James, because a "regular user" by his own admission, @HP_TOUCHPAD will be posting very soon what he likes to call "HP_Touchpad_Novacom_Recovery_Android", and with this, any user can perform the following tasks with one click on any computer:
1) Load the ToolBox (flash the A6 Firmware)
2) Fix /boot using Create_Boot ( If the Bermuda Triangle shows up ) or the Tablet can not boot.
3) Automatic_Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap ( Total Data Reset )
4) If the Tablet needs to be set up only for Android.
5) Change the Ramdisk, make all setting modifications and create a Custom boot file.
HP_TOUCHPAD once said,
If the user ever needs help, the tablet can be setup "completely" by another user, even remotely running Automatic_Wipe to Android, all they need is an internet connection.
The Novacom Driver and Android ADB Shell will be permanent and fully working all the time regardless of the PC being used.

Thank you for your help. In the end a combination of installing and reinstalling novacom, restarting, and then plugging in the touchpad to a different USB port finally sorted it out! Then I used your tool to get a ROM etc on there.
Do you have any particular recommendation for a smooth ROM? Doesn't have to be latest version of Android, just something that runs super snooth!
I've installed Dirty Unicrorn Pi but it's a bit laggy. It'll be fine to use fit it's intended purpose, but anything that improves on this would be appreciated.
Cheers,
James

I am curious to what install process you have used to install the Dirty Unicorn Pie? Please respond, its nice to see what install processes some users are using....like what speed of Universal swap settings did you install?, did you use ROM reducer?
In the meantime since you have Novacom and TPTB installed try this process to install maybe Nougat, Oreo or Pie ( with /swap ) or KitKat or Lollipop. Once you read the OP it will direct you to the key Android versions to install on HP_TOUCHPAD's page.
I currently use KitKat and I am fine with that.

Hi,
Thanks again for the advice.
I booted in to TPToolbox
Ran Complete Data Reset
Then rebooted to WebOS recovery.
Ran the ."TPTB_WipeAll_TWRP_v02_win.bat" which ended up with me in TWRP.
Then I installed ROM, reducer, gapps, optimiser, recovery, and super user via TWRP and it all raun when rebooted.
Now - another question - my second touchpad - It is currently sitting in the Touchpad toolbox screen. My PC has just broken (RAM corruption), I only have a Raspberry Pi which is not compatible with novacom drivers.
I've already ran "Complete Data Reset" but wasn't able to run the "TPTB_WipeAll_TWRP_v02_win.bat" before my windows PC got Blue Screen of Death!
So now I can copy zips to my touchpad and potentially install android, gapps, recovery using the tool. Then I figured I'd go in to recovery and flash "Automatic_Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition" and start again.
The problem I have is I cannot flash android/recovery/gapps with TP Toolbox as I need a set of three compatible files.. Can anyone point me to a set of such files? Or another way of doing this from TP Toolbox - remember - I can't currently run anything on a PC!
This wouldn't be desperately urgent if it weren't for the fact that my mum wants to use these devices as digital photoframes on Thursday (my grandads funeral!).
Any help would be appreciated.
Currently I have
du_tenderloin-v13.0-20190328-1316-RC.zip
FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-2.8.3.0-12-23-14.zip
I downloaded a zip from Open Gapps but TP Toolbox says its not compatible and will not flash.

jamesking420 said:
Hi,
Thanks again for the advice.
I booted in to TPToolbox
Ran Complete Data Reset
You don't have to do a Complete Data Reset anymore with the TPToolbox if your going to run TPTB_WireAll_TWRP_02_win.bat or flash Automatic_Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition, it almost seems like your combining three different methods of installs, because TPTB_WipeAll_TWRP_v02_win.bat actually flashes Automatic_Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition in the background and that actually does a complete data reset and creates a 500 Mb swap partition, and re-creates the system, cache, media and data partitions with sizes of 2200 Mb, 200 Mb, 500 Mb, and "rest of memory" respectively, also automatically installs version 3.2.1-0 of TWRP which is required for the other ZIPs.
Only use TPToolbox to flash A6 firmware, or look at partition sizes.
Then rebooted to WebOS recovery.
Ran the ."TPTB_WipeAll_TWRP_v02_win.bat" which ended up with me in TWRP.

How are you copying zips to your touchpad if your PC does not work? Once you
flashed Automatic_Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition it should get you to a
TWRP Recovery install screen, and you can then flash your zips, no need to use TPToolbox as I said before. Essentially TPToolbox is an "old school" method now. And flashing from TWRP Recovery you don't need compatible zips, that is a bug of TP Toolbox that has not been fixed.
The problem I have is I cannot flash android/recovery/gapps with TP Toolbox as I need a set of three compatible files.. Can anyone point me to a set of such files? Or another way of doing this from TP Toolbox - remember - I can't currently run anything on a PC!
I am curious, even if we point you to a set of such files, how are you going to copy them from a broken PC?, and see above for another way of doing this than from TPToolbox, if you can get into TWRP recovery and have zips on your Touchpad your all set.
This wouldn't be desperately urgent if it weren't for the fact that my mum wants to use these devices as digital photoframes on Thursday (my grandads funeral!).

Your PIE version above is the latest version, good. But the TWRP 2.8.3 version above is "old school" we are currently at this version FLINTMAN-TWRP-3.2.1-0-03-15-2018, and like I said above the "Wipe All" methods automatically install this latest TWRP version, so no need to flash an "old school" TWRP's afterwords.

I made comments above in blue. Here is my summary.
Because your PC broke, like you said "blue screen of death, RAM corruption". This is the very reason that @HP_TOUCHPAD is thinking "outside the box" trying to create an environment that users will not be dependent on a PC anymore. He is in the process of creating this environment, but lets give him time. For by his own admission he is just a regular user, he is learning, experimenting, creating and testing. He is also documenting his findings for all of us to read, learn and apply. So let us do our due diligence and do the best we can.

I have a raspberry pi computer I can use that I can copy files to/from with but I cannot install novacom drivers on it as they are not compatible, as far as I'm aware.
I think I might have found a suitable grouping of ROM/gapps/recovery I can flash with tptoolbox - literally trying again now

This appears to be working to install a KK ROM so I will see if it comes up and I can then run the various flashes.
PS - yes - I did think that running Complete Data Reset and the "TPTB_WipeAll_TWRP_v02_win" was probably unecessary but I'd already run Complete Data Reset before I realised that it probably was overkill. Since this process worked I decided to do it again on the second touchpad, but the Windows PC died before I got the chance. But I had already run the process to load TPToolbox on to the tablet. So I'm now flashing TWRP v2.8.3.0 (data media), a KK ROM, and some KK compatible GApps using TPToolbox.
I hope that after that I can use the recovery I have loaded to install a new ROM, Rom Reducer, SU, Optimiser, GApps, and a more recent Recovery.

I learn something new everyday, I just googled Raspberry Pi and its some sort of tiny, dual-display, desktop computer. At first I thought it was some sort of "Rogue ROM", I guess we can always learn something new everyday, like last month I learned to play Run Race 3d and I am not even a gamer.
And yesterday I wrote a program in a UNIX language called "AWK"

Yep it worked - so I then was in recovery on the device and I ran the Wipe all zip and then I flashed ROM, Optimiser, Reducer, Gapps, SU, recovery (again?!) and now it looks like it is loading in to Dirty Unicorn Pi.
I will have a play with it on the the max MHz optimiser kernel and then see if I want to stick with this or move on to an older/less system intensive ROM.
Thank you for your help!

As per your comment recovery ( again?! ), only flash recovery if you want a different version than what the Wipe all zip flashes ( currently flashes TWRP 3.2.1 ), lets say in the future nobody is updating the Wipe all zip, and it still flashes TWRP 3.2.1, but you see a newer version of TWRP 4.1 compatible with the touchpad, then you can flash that at the tail end, or if your fond of an older version like TWPR 2.8, same thing.

Thanks - yes - I want sure if Wipe all Zip was flashing or just into TWRP so I flashed it again just to be on the safe side. Because it was called wioe ask I thought maybe it wasn't actually flashing anything new, just wiping and booting.
Anyway, thanks for your help it was very useful.

Thanks for posting this, I'm sure it will be useful for many people.
Unfortunately on the way home from the funeral I left the two touchpads on top of the car as I was putting my kids in their car seats. They feel off at a roundabout which I imagine caused some damage. We turned around and went back for then and someone has nicked them! Ah well!
At 8 years old and costing less than £100 each they'd had a good innings.

That is very unfortunate, but there is nothing to worry. The Tablets can be found for $10 anywhere and you maybe surprise to find in a dumpster somewhere.
But it can be revive to its full working conditions and all the files are posted on here, it only takes a click and is done!
