An NVflash backup sounds great, if possible since it takes the ROM version out of the equation which is a problem with CWM or a Nandroid backup. Nandroid backups are frequently mentioned but nothing about a successful Nandroid restore that I've seen.
Gretings.
I've downloaded almost all the img files except the 2.img, all I can get is a "Requested link not valid"
Please repost again that file

Only people that can relock an unlocked device is Dell.... Afaik there is nothing out there you can flash yourself that will lock it.... So you gave your Streak to someone without writing down the imei and the service tag numbers?

yeah
and spoke with him fkin bastard game me another brand new one, was a lie but am happy
and i also made him get the unlock code
Seriously tho, i picked up a Streak 7 bootlooping, and followed the guide. Now i seem to have joined a whole bunch of people with blank screens and only the soft buttons lighting up. No recovery or fastboot. Can anyone point us at possible solutions? I seem to have seen someone say its a case of mismatched bootloaders

Only thing left to do is try NVFlash

It was NVflash that got me in the blank screen situation. Any bootloaders to try out?

I downloaded p2-p14, flashed with NVFlash and, Viola! No boot out of APX mode. None of the button combos work, no fastboot, no recovery. Its an unbranded 3g version, so i wonder if there is a particular bootloader i need to flash, and where can i find it?
The bootloaders are identical for each submodel, the only differences are just the version number to point out that they're for that specific rom.
So, right now, i cant recover my streak to allow flashing in fastboot mode? Are there any other options open to me now?

No... it was you doing something incorrectly that got you in this situation...

I find that rather hard to believe. I flashed this streak following the instructions exactly. I bet there are a few people who did that and now are in the same situation as i am.

39Restoring 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.

I don't recall, but I think that's the last TMobile received. (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official)
You could try one of the honeystreaks but I don't know if that will get you where you want:
