Clear directions on Restoring to Stock 3.2

Looking for Clear directions on how to restore a Streak 7 to Stock 3.2

I got my Streak for christmas and I ran Superuser7.zip on it. I need to fully unroot and restore back to stock for some testing. I can't seem to figure out exactly how to do that. I have the Lg7_WiFi_506_19534_30.pkg but can't seem to figure out how to flash it since ive installed CWM on it for superuser7.

And is that the correct flash? I've seen 506 and 507 talked about, don't know how to tell the difference.

Any help Greatly appreciated!!

Thank You!

Really?

No one? Come on. Im not a complete Noob and not looking for a diaper change guide. But I can't find any direct info on this.

First time working with Streak, usually work with samsungs.. Those are much easier to restore to stock.


I have the LG7-WiFi_506_19534_30.pkg that I found online but am not completely positive this is the package I need.. Goes back to what the heck does the 506 and 507 represent and I don't find any reference to those numbers in my about android tab.

Also... If i wanted use the built in restore function to load a .pkg,, well.. CWM4 killed that. So how do i flash a pkg now?

Anyhelp! if I can get enough direction, I will write a noob guide to this.


Thanks!

OK. Got some of my own homework done.. And figured out what it is I am really looking for.

I know how to restore technically.. but heres the issue. I need to remove CWM5.0.2.7

I need to restore the stock recovery, Then i can just flash a factory.pkg file and its back to stock.


So .. Can anyone refer me to the Stock Recovery .img file I can flash with Fastboot to restore the ability to flash a .pkg file?

Thanks!!

Then i was reading those as recovery.. FILE NOT FOUND on that site.
got a copy of them? I'm currently running 512 software from Dell according to the build # on streak.. 20031

Appreciate your help.

obviously i've nuked the Recovery.. but yes I will reset the tablet, and nandroid a copy of it.

Then What is the best next set to set it to stock at that point?

Thanks!

As promised. NooB Guide for returning back to completely Stock 3.2

Thanks to TheManii for helping me get on the right track and understanding what exactly is needed.

OK. So you've installed CWM 5.0.2.7 and rooted your streak 7 and for what ever reason you want to revert back to Stock, Day 1.

Heres your guide.

DISCLAIMER.. This worked for me. Not my fault if your bork your device for following this guide, however it should work.

Things that are needed.

Fastboot (found here with info on how to get into various modes http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7/Flashing_Guide )

The Correct PKG file for your device See http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak_7#Official and get the 506 or 507 PKG and Recovery file(repeated below). Read the page and see if you need 506 or 507 and pick the right one, WiFi or 4g.

And the Same recovery.img file from same package (if you using 506, then 506's)

(you got rooted, so I assume I don't need to get your pampers changed.. You should have a pretty good idea about this so far)


Make a directory and unzip the fastboot+ADB.zip files

copy the recovery.img file downloaded above to same extracted folder so that fastboot and recovery.img are in the same directory.

On the streak. you need to have in a SD Card in the slot, the .pkg file you downloaded and have it named update.pkg in the root level (top) of the sdcard.

Power off your Streak
Put into Fast Boot Mode (see above if you don't know how)

drop to dos (CMD) cd to that directory.

fastboot -i 0x413C flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x413C reboot

Streak should Reboot.

OK you have just copied over the 506 or 507 recovery image.. Congrats. your part way there.


Now I did this using my modified Streak 5 Dock that works just find for my Streak 7. That part worked perfect. The next part, if you were using it in the dock. After copying files to the SD card.. Remove from dock.. i believe it interfered. worked perfect out of the dock.

Boot to recovery VOL UP & Power at same time.
use arrows to move to option 2. Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card. and press power button to enter.

Wait.

Recovery will load.

Read the screen. Its telling you to press the power button to use the emergency flash to recover your device. This will erase your device. (if you didn't already know this, or have this as your intention... Well... I'll leave it at that)

It will verify the pkg. then it will install. Took between 4-8 min.. Then it rebooted.

That took even longer of-course.. Just like day 1 when you turned it on after getting it from Dell.

If all went well. It will have returned you to the welcome screen where you are initially setting up your Streak 7.

Congrats. Your back to stock 506 or 507.

Now There is a 514 pkg file if your looking to upgrade to the latest as of 1/7/12. I am actually installing that as I type this.


If you decide to do the upgrade to 514.. Delete the existing update.pkg (if the streak didn't, it wasn't there when I went to copy the newer one over) and rename LG7-WiFi_514_21700_30.pkg or what ever applies to your device to update.zip and move to the sdcard.

Make sure SDCard is in Streak.
Power off the device.
Vol up and power. Select option 2 again. It will boot to recovery.
Power button to accept.

Sit back and watch.

Wait for reboot. as mine is right now

Tada.. Stock 514. Hope this helps some of you as it has helped me greatly.


Make sure to Thank TheManii and I would appreciate some Thanks if this helped you too

I will be putting up a Mirror for all the files tomorrow 1/7/12.

Thanks for Defining that TheManii.

I used that info by borrowing from the Rooting Post.
