I want to thank you both for your responses. I have had it charging for about 3-4 days now and it has not worked no matter what I try. I called Dell and they are sending out a new unit. It is scheduled to arrive today.

So I have a streak 7 wifi only model. A few nights ago I upgraded manually to HC 3.2 with no problems. System seemed normal and everything in life was good. I forgot to charge my streak and when I woke up it was dead as expected as the battery was already low. So I plugged it in and let it sit...

I'm truly stumped on why it is stopping. Check your recovery to make sure your on stock and not on cwm recovery. If your on the stock recovery go back to my original post and about half way down there is a link for "nvflashstep2" download that file and try flashing that one. Let me know the...

This is the first time I have heard of this happening. What ROM are you trying to flash from? What was the charge % on your battery before you tried to flash? Also when you say it stopped did the command prompt window disappear or did it give an error? I work overnights and I am about to head...

You can use my procedure listed here for the actual wifi stock rom>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17347531#post17347531

I am happy to report I have it up and running on my wifi only version. Usb cable is broke. If someone gives me a screen capture app to use I will post some pics. Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium ---------- Post added 3rd October 2011 at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was 2nd October...

I haven't forgotten you. I am working hard to try and figure out a way to get this done. Couple of questions(You may have answered already but I need to ask again): Are you able to get into recovery on your DS7? Do you have the stock recovery image or do you have the CWM recovery image...

So for whatever reason Windows 7 just doesn't like the dell streak 7 usb drivers. I have had the drivers fail on me. One day they will work just fine and the next it shows up in device manager as "unknown device". After spending hours upon hours looking for a fix to this I finally called dell...

Glad you are up and running. Thanks for letting me know about the link. I did get it corrected. Let me know if you need any assistance in the future.

So to be clear your streak is running properly now? Also when you want to go back to stock check out my thread here >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252840 Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

I will see what I can come up with. I will try and have at least one solution to try tomorrow. Give me until Tuesday to get it working. If we dont have a fix then call dell or tmobile to see what you can do through them. Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

Sorry not sure why that was happening. I changed the link. Thanks for letting me know.

AWESOME! Glad it went smoothly for you and your 100% stock. Take care and let me know if there is anything else you need in the future. If you come across someone with a wifi only DS7 and they are having trouble please direct them to my post. Thanks!

So I actually posted a thread detailing how to restore the Streak 7(Wifi only) back to stock. I put it into general in the main forum instead of under the streak 7 forum. So I am placing this here to lead to that post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252840

You may have answered this already but I am missing it. Do you have the t-mobile version or the wifi only version? If you have the wifi only version please try my thread here>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252840 before you call dell. It is similar to what you did on the...

Sorry about not detailing how to check this info. PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE AND DURING PROCESS! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROCESS BEFORE OR AFTER PLEASE CONTACT ME. Power off your streak and once off do the following: - Hold the Volume Up button and the power...

I honestly am not sure why this happens. I noticed the same thing every time. Wish I had a better answer for you. On another note. Just wanted to ask a quick question. When you restored your device did you have CWM recovery on your device or no? If yes have you tried to do a factory restore to...

Use the method in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018809 It will restore you to t-mobile factory. Let me know if you have any issues or questions. Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I am going to download dolphin right now and check it out. Haven't used it since I tried it on my HTC hero. Thanks for the info. Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

I am glad this worked for you. Please if you see someone else with a similar issue or someone who wants to go back to stock let them know about the thread. Also try skyfire browser from the market it lets you view all sites in desktop format.

Have to love how the xda community has a great willingness to help and the most active users I have ever seen. Glad I found xda and glad to be involved with it. Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to try and help. Best of luck. Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

One more thing when you complete this process if you have CWM recovery installed there is a process to get that removed. I would say attempt the first process first though. Let me know if it works. Again the link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252840

I will say that now that I am back to stock I am able to connect to both of my computers. So check out my thread here>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252840 and see if that resolves the issue for you.

Wifi only DS7 files and removes CWM. Just follow the process about half way down in my post where I mention CWM users. Thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252840 Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

Ok I was having issues with both my computers not picking up the dell streak or not finding the correct drivers. It would actually charge it instead of recognize it as a usb device. Try this: - Turn off your streak. - Hold down the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time. While both...

If you want to use NVFlash check out my thread. Let me know if you have the wifi only streak or the t-mobile version before you attempt this.

Your welcome. I was looking through the forums trying to find people to help didn't pay attention to the name and posted and then realized it was you lol.

Do you have the wifi only streak or do you have the t-mobile version? The NVFlash on that link is for the t-mobile version. I posted the process for the wifi only streak here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252840 Let me know if you have any questions before or after you...

Try NVFlash again with my procedure here >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252840 The top half is the same method you tried. Scroll down and use the CWD users method let me know if it works. Also be aware this process is for the wifi only streak. If you have the t-mobile...

I'm at work right now but I will contact you later on this afternoon to discuss further details. Please post everything you have tried. I know it can seem like a ton to type but it helps myself and others better try and understand what options to give you. Thanks Sent from my PC36100 using xda...

Yeah same here : ) I think I will deal with the stock rom for a while. Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

The process I have detailed in my post is for the Dell Streak 7 wifi only. This thread your currently in is the t-mobile stock images. Can you explain if you have tried this method in this post and what the results were. I know how frustrating it is to try and get back to stock so I am willing...

Yeah this process will ensure that the dell OTA honeycomb update will come to you. The OTA process checks the recovery image at least that is how I understand it. No expert on Android but having 100% stock is best bottom line. Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

When you hold the vol. up and the power button you dont get any recovery screen? Yeah the streak is different to me as well just learning as I go. If you are unable to boot into recovery do a factory reset from the settings>privacy>factory data reset. Then attempt to boot to recovery again. If...

Did you complete the first process and then attempt the second part where I list the details for cwm recovery users? Also do you have a sd card inserted into the device? Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

Glad this worked for you. Just to be clear when you boot into recovery and attempt to factory restore(User and internal/external data) it no longer goes into the cwm recovery but instead it now goes into the stock recovery? On a more important note thank you for your service. I hope you have a...

I will fix the link tomorrow. I just added some new instructions to my post for cwm recovery users. Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

When you did this and went into recovery was it CWM recovery or the factory recovery where you can only hit power to complete the factory wipe or volume to power off?

So just want to be clear you did root the device correct? Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

It is a great device for what you are looking for. I say go for it. Best of luck with whatever you end up buying. Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

I have used this site for a while to help me with tech stuff and I finally joined up. I know how it is to love technology so much and I know how it is to hate it : ) so if I can help others out I will. Keep me updated on if it works for you.

Are you able to use the NVFlash method listed here where you power off and then hold down both volume buttons + power and your computer recognizes your device? If so I can help you tomorrow when I upload the stock wifi files. Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

I have them and will post tomorrow. Not able to get to my computer right now. Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

I have a dell streak 7 wifi and honestly I think this is one time the smaller screen and form factor works as a benefit. It is similar size to a nook and similar weight if I am not mistaken. I read books on it and find it easy to set down and read or hold for extended periods of time. Hope this...
