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.

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.

In CWM 4 my External SD was seen, now that I installed 5 revB, it could not mount SD card. I moved superuser7 to internal and ran it, went through, but no root x4 times. Not sure if 5 is ready for prime time.
Did you get any solution for that Cach 22 problem? CWM must be installed to root your device but to install it your device must be fully rooted!!! It is like a question about what was first - egg or a chicken?
Every guide on web seize “to install CWM you must have your device rooted already” you are telling to root I must have CWM installed. What is I am not understanding?
Why you guys are making those guides understandable only for yourself or for guys they already know everything about the subject?

The one RIGHT BELOW this one [Guide][Recovery]Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.7
All you need is to enter fastboot mode.

wolski, it isn't explained very well. You need to use fastboot to flash clockworkmod before the streak is rooted. This requires installing drivers which will support fastboot, and they DON'T install correctly the majority of the time under win7. You need to run around to several threads to figure out what you need to do.
Once you've got fastboot drivers installed and working (which may require the android SDK and/or Dell's PC suite), and downloaded the fastboot command, and downloaded the clockworkmod image, then you can boot the streak into fastboot mode (power and volume down), and use the command line to flash CWM to the streak. However, in my case (and others), CWM 5.0 won't recognize your SD card. I WAS able to copy the file to the internal SD, and install superuser7.zip from there.
If someone had actually taken the time to explain all of this, instead of acting like it's things you should already know, a lot of people could have saved a lot of time.

Thank you very much. That clears a lot. As i said before - most of those guys are making those so called guides for them self. It must be same kind of mental illness. TheManiak is a perfect example.

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