Thanks. I was able to use these instructions to root my newly updated Streak 7.

Thank you...

Clear, easy to follow and success at the end... what else ???

I must be having a blonde moment. But how do I boot into cwm recovery w/o root already? I have cwm installed but of course I can't flash cwm recovery w/o root. And stock recovery of course won't let me upgrade with the too pkg. I appreciate any help in my obvious dumb ass moment here lol!

how do you have cwm installed if you cant flash it?

Put your device into fastboot mode and flash the correct CWM.

CWM 3.0 if you're on 2.2.x
CWM 4.0 if you're on 3.2

there are directions to flash each one on their respective pages (they're flashed in the same manner btw, just I wrote one guide and graffixnyc wrote the other one i believe)

Oh ok I see. I was thinking flash thru recovery not Dearborn. Duh huh. Thx Nanni, much appreciated. And I meant I have cwm installed but no cwm recovery flashed yet.

sorry guys been at it since yesterday... can't find clockwork img file. Not to mention adb isnt working thru cmd prompt either. Any other method to root like ginger break?

Wow, it took like 45 minutes to root my thunderbolt, once my streak comes in I'll be on this asap

You should have killed me, when you had the chance

Looks nice. Now I guess I need to figure out how to upgrade from my 2.2.2 root with tweaks to HC without messing it up.

i did everything but i use the clockworkmod 5 XXX something and install the superuser7.zip the only icon i got is the superuser but this 3 is not in there how come?

SU binary 3.0
Bash 4.1
Busybox 1.19.2

thank you
