Deleted Dell Stage - cant boot - help!

[derv1sh]

I've got a Dell Streak 7 on t-mobile, rooted and started removing a bunch of things (before backing up because I'm an idiot, sure) which resulted in a system exception. Now when I boot it loads up to the t-mobile square but no further. I've tried a hard reset, which brings me back to the device setup but about 4 screens in I get another exception and cant go any further.

I had already rooted it, so adb and all that is installed. So far I've tried using flashboot, which doesn't move past the "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" bit so I've had no success trying to flash anything I can find.

My experience with android is fairly limited, I'm guessing I just need a fresh flash, any ideas? Help severely appreciated!

Go into the dev section and look for the perf tweeks thread v.2 there is a stock system.img in there that you can flash via fastboot. Should square you away.

And flashboot is run from your pc to your device. You use a cmd window to transfer stuff from your pc to your device. Google adb install and look 3 results down from the top and install sdk/ adb. Good luck

When I run fastboot via command line it doesn't see the device, and adb isn't showing up under devices, even though while I was rooting it, everything worked fine. Basically fastboot isn't bringing up all the devices I imagine it should which would enable the usb interface between the pc and the streak.

When I turn on fastboot on the streak it stays at "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" - I'm not sure if that screen should go any further.

That screen does not go any further. Sounds like some drivers may not be installed.

After some driver fiddling, if I connect the streak and boot into fastboot mode the device manager sees the streak for maybe 5 seconds, and then shoots me a "Device cannot start".

when you plug your device into the pc in fastboot mode does it ask to install drivers? Or can you see the device in device manager on your pc? Should say android phone.

and are you waiting to plug into the pc?

If I wait to plug it in after starting fastboot on the device, it typically isn't recognized at all. When it does recognize it, its recognized as an ADB device, and on occasion "fastboot". No matter what title it comes up as, it can't start, and I am using the absolute latest usb drivers.

Did you get this fixed yet? I did the same thing.

 

[derv1sh]

Nope, still stuck.

Have you got fastboot working? If so have you tryed pushing the stock system.img from the perfmod thread?

Go to device manager and update driver, select Install from a different location, then uncheck adroid device, and pick another, you should see 3, the drivers will install then run fasboot devices and if you see ? fastboot, your set.

1 right click my computer, select properties
2 right click on android devices (if its not there unplug usb and replug)
3 select update driver
4 Install from a list or specific location, next
5 select Dont search, next
6 uncheck Show compatible hardware and select alternate driver and install
