I restarted my streak 7 now its asking for a password I can't get to recovery or the bootloader. I have dj Steve's honeycomb rom installed. Any ideas?
Honeycomb password/ no recovery
- Thread starter jsc619
- Start date
Did you just install honeystreak, or have you been using it for some times now?
If all else fails reflash from scratch by holding volume+ and volume-... then run steve's updater.

I dont think there is actually, frome research.. it seems like its similar to the encrytion password screen, but I think it is that upon first boot if HHoneycomb doesnt have some credetianls/etc. it is looking for it encrypts the device/boot partition. Vaguely what I remeber reading from a similar issue with the transformer I believe. A guy had similar issue but after 50 or so attempts it reset it self... was also able to get in after a low battery warning through emergency call I think..
really no explanation for it, but no I dont think there is a password, if there was it is likely encrypted anyhow deep somewhere..

I am having the same issue on my Dell Streak 7, after a factory reset it keeps asking for a password but I never had a password on it. I have gone through CWM and erased every single partition re installed, the stock 3.2 upgrade and every time it keeps asking for a password... Any suggestions?
Ditto. I'm having the EXACT SAME issue. Idk wtf this is but it shouldn't be a password anywhere on this machine. It's my wife's and she uses it for an e-reader at night. She has a new book and my ass is grass if we don't resolve this. How and why would Steve let a code be infiltrated on our devices? I've never heard of this and I'm not happy about this...not happy at all!!
I found out if you let the battery run down to 15% or less and the low battery message pops up, you can click Battery Use and get into the settings screen. I have tried enabling a password and entering that in but it still does not accept it. I also tried enabling a PIN but that did not work either. It does say my tablet is encrypted but I cannot change it. I am trying to figure out what I can do in there, if anything to fix this.
I'm having the same problem. After I did a factory reset when it restarted now its asking for a password. Has anyone found a fix for this?
The only fix that I have found is to nvflash back to 2.2.2 and then do everything again and flash honeycomb. That seems to work. That's the only solution I've found that works. But if you do a factory reset the problem will once again happen. Even if you do the factory reset from recovery. So make sure to not do a factory reset or you will get this problem again/
Poll to all those with the password issue: did you use CWM 4.0 and either restored a nandroid or fac resetted with CWM 4.0 right before the password issue happened?
I may know why

The password screen seems to be the password to decrypt the /data partition.
HC supports encrypting /data to make it more secure.
CWM 4.0 incorrectly formats /data when trying to either: fac reset though CWM or nandroiding.
The rom is assuming that it's merely encrypted and is prompting to decrypt it, it cant tell the differences betweeen a corrupt partition and an encrypted one.
The solution:
If you are on a stock rom: reinstall the stock recovery and fac reset
If you are on Honeystreak R7 or newer: same as on a stock rom
If you are on Honeystreak R2-R6: Upgrade to R7 or a stock rom and fac reset
I will be posting a port of CWM5.0 soon with this bug fixed, it's still in the bugtesting stage.

I have rooted DS 7 Wifi ver. with stock CWM 4.0.1.4. After factory restore Streak waiting for password.
Where can I find stock recovery? Flash use fastboot flash?

I have the password problem. I get in fastboot and it says Starting Fastboot but when I run adb the cpu doesnt see the device
I just got this device. I'm in fastboot, I put the recovery img in the tools folder. When I run the command for devices, it's not showing. The path is correct
