Ladies and Gentlemen,
After over 72 long hours and barely any sleep we now have a working Clockwork Recovery!!! I cant believe I did it! Thanks to everyone in the community that pitched in to make this happen, I couldnt have done it without the help of all of you! Thanks!!

Special thanks to Koush for taking the time to chat with me and Bogdi1988.. one guy on irc told me "You should feel lucky, Koush is even talking to you about this, he ignored me for weeks" hahaha I guess he knew how close we were so we didn't mind helping us get to the finish line! I dont know what exactly he changed for us but he put the finishing touches on it.


AGAIN: YOU CAN FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY MOD BY USING ROM MANAGER(IF YOU HAVE ROOT ACCESS) OR INSTALL MANUALLY THROUGH FASTBOOT

DO NOT PERFORM A FACTORY RESET FROM WITHIN ANDROID YOU WILL MESS UP YOUR PHONE. IF YOU WANT TO DO A FACTORY RESET DO IT THROUGH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY

make sure your phone is connected to the computer and you have entered fastboot mode on the phone by holding down Volume down and the power button at the same time

recovery: http://mirror.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.1.9-streak7.img

rename this file to recovery.img (or any easy name to type)and place into the same directory as your fastboot executable (usually androidsdkfolder/tools)

open up a command prompt and navigate to the androidsdkdir/tools folder and type this in at the C prompt

fastboot devices
(to make sure you're connected)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img


Thanks to Koush, Bogdi1988, BinaryBishop, Lou, nledevil , Hellzya, KenAP, Josh (Hellzya:"hey Jo who are you?") hahaha and everyone else that helped us get this done!!!!!

LET IT BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

disclaimer: I am NOT responsible if you brick your phone trying to flash recovery. flash at YOUR OWN RISK. This software is not supported (only by the community), has no warranty(will void your warranty) and is AS-IS you use/flash this at your own risk.

here is a mirror: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23637011/recovery-clockwork-3.0.1.9-streak7.img

if fastboot devices returns nothing, do this:

if you messed up you system because u can not read, do this:
get this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23637011/system_orig.img
then do a fastboot flash system system_orig.img
or fastboot -i 0x413c flash system system_orig.img

thank you koush for bearing with us tonight and fixing it for us!

I FIXED IT!!!!! OMFG!!!! YES!!! BOOTED BACK!!!

the 2 other guys with issues on this.. paintguy and the other
do the following
copy the original boot and recovery on your sdcard
make sure you copy that flash_image file also as we were trying before

now. here comes the magic! (**** YOU KOUSH!)
mount all the things you can in the recovery
type these in adb shell
flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img

flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img

select reboot from the recovery. now it will reboot and it will format misc and it will reboot again. NOW the device will load the os!!!

now that you are here, i also suggest to go to fastboot again and to flash all over again in this order:
flash system
flash recovery
flash boot

all of them using the original ones.

Good job bogdi. I knew it was nearly impossiable to brick these things

Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA Premium App

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

hehe... i can not believe i spent 6 hours on this when it was in front of my face all along!

but i did learn something... koush is a douche! he got on the irc, stayed for a lil bit and then he got off without saying anything or helping at all...

well, this weekend is chill time, then monday i start to maybe build my own roms
i plan on setting up a slimmed down version of dj's perf v2. remove some apps to fix some of the batterylife..
maybe we can work together hellzya and we can cook up a couple of nice baked goodies for everybody else

WOW!!! We are on androidspin!
