I picked up a Streak 7 Wi-Fi Only yesterday. I was playing around with it and tried out the honeycomb ROm posted here. Decided I wanted to go back to stock but my Nandroid backup is gone (I think it was on sdcard1 and not sdcard2). I managed to restore a stock image I found here someplace but it is the t-mo image and wifi does not seem to work. Anyone know where I can get the wifi-only stock image?

I have the nvflash files, and if necessary the images, you need. I'll get them up somewhere and post a link for you in a bit later today.
Edit:
Here are the files you need:

Just download these and use the same instructions here:

Can the original poster please confirm if this worked? I bought a Dell Streak 7 Wifi yesterday and would like to know.
I can confirm this works!! Thanks so much op. I used this to get back from dj_steves honeycomb b3, and i did have to take a couple of extra steps. Once everything completed I was stuck at the dell logo. So I booted into recovery, to see what i could do, which was almost nothing other than clear cache etc. The internal sdcard would not mount so I couldn't put steves streakdroid 1.3 on it to try and see if it would flash. At a brick wall, I decided what the heck and I flashed the original recovery through fastboot. I rebooted into recovery and preformed a factory reset and and to my amazement was greeted with the lock screen a short while later. However, I had a notification stating that my sdcard was unformated or not the right system type. (certain on unformated cant remember the second suggestion, but i believe thats close). I went to settings>sdcard & tablet storage and pressed "format internal tablet storage", then mounted the internal tablet storage. And thats it. Back on stock 2.2.2 (wifi-only). Mega thanks op.
i might add
i might add, that i had flashed the honeystreak in the dev section and my 7 would lock up, go to sleep (or in my case, lapse into a coma) and boot when it wanted to. had to reset with pin in the hole all the time. did this for about 3 days and said heck with it. seems to be some power issue with that flash. thanks to solidsnake66 for uploading these files. now my 7 seems to be normal again.

ok, this will help me. When I used the t-mobile backup, the partitions were different, because of the t-mobile files...I only had (I think) 11 or so GB of free memory. If I remember right, I had 12 something before. Is the .bat in this re-written to give me the 12gb, rather than the 11gb? Even if it is the WiFi files, I would like the same amount of memory I had before.
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I'm wrong, and they both use the same partitions.

Clockwordmod
Hey guys. So I used this howto to revert my dell streak 7 running on honeystreak hd7 back to android 2.2.2. Once i rebooted into the system i noticed that although in stock android, it was still rooted. While I know how to unroot, i can't get rid of clockwordmod recovery. How do i do that? I tried to uninstall the clockwordmod, but it doesn't show up under my apps. i am at my wits end. I want to send in my dell streak 7 to dell for repair, but i want it in "fresh" condition with no root or clockwordmod recovery. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have the stock "system" image for use with fastboot? for a wifi only streak? I can only find the tmobile one.
What I did was to an out of the box wifi only streak 7,
1. rooted with gingerbreak 1.2, renamed a couple .apks which were supposed to eliminate the cell standby battery drain.
2. restored the device to remove my google account (this device is for a friend and owned by her!!) It was stupid and I should have used her google creds first but she was not around. I didnt think it would hurt. The device was stuck at the android click to start screen and nothing I did could get it any further.
3. used fastboot to restore the system_orig.img posted by someone else, this fixed my issues, but it was a tmobile image so I am looking for the same thing system.img but in a wifi only flavor. THought you may have it.
Thanks much.
The links he gave are for Wifi version only. First download the first link then you have to get nvflash, unzip it onto your computer then unzip the files from the first link into the folder. He is advising you that you need to follow the directions on the 2nd link.
Actually, postb8822 is saying that the files in those downloads are ClockWorkMod Recovery and Rooted, not stock. The Root can be removed via Gingerbreak (I've done it, once...) but the CWR recovery images are all that I find in the files provided.
Berryblue, you said that you have a backup on an SD, right? Would you please place the recovery.img and boot.img (and system.img separate from those two perhaps) at some dropbox somewhere?
Thanks.
Downloaded all these files and then followed the directions in the other thread. Ended up stuck on dell logo. Then found this posting:
This person's problem and fix seem to be exactly what I need to do. But what I don't understand is the "flashed to original recovery through fastboot" part. I can run fastboot and it sees my Streak but I don't know where I would find the recovery mentioned in the quote. Right now when I try to go to the recovery menu I see what seems to be the normal streak recovery menu but when I choose either factory reset I get to some other dialog I never saw before. I take it that this is some new recovery thing which is why I should be restoring the "original recovery" as mentioned in the quote.
To follow-up on my own posting: After staring at my bricked streak awhile, I decided that the poster must have meant the restore_orig file from the other thread. So I went back and reran the sequence. First the restore of all those img files then the fast boot recovery of the original restore img file. Boot with volume + to get to restore screen. Reset and reboot. Exactly what I'd done before but this time it worked. Perhaps the fact that the drivers were already installed helped since the sequence of operations wasn't interrupted by those driver installs. Perhaps I was more careful the second time. Regardless, it worked. I'm back and running. Even have root now; saving me from downloading gingerbreak. I'd assume if someone was doing this to return their Streak that they'd want to run gingerbreak to remove root. One additional caveat here: Once booted to the main Dell window (can't remember name of the Dell launcher) I had to reformat the internal disc. Not a big deal for me since I didn't expect any of my user data to survive. But just a warning for others.

I(we) can really use the stock img files needed to flash to stock. I hope someone posts it.
ClockworkMod Recovery loop and error:-1 during solution
Sorry, I posted on the wrong section, Thanks Chemus!

The img files that mssahota1986 referenced are the t-mobile (3g/4g) images rather than the Wifi images.
However following the reposted instructions in your post shows that the t-mobile boot and recovery images can remove the CWM, which I thought was incorrect.Combined with the altered and rooted system images previously provided, I might be able to get close to stock on my wifi, since GingerBreak 1.2 was previously able to remove root from the Wifi.
If Dell ever actually upgrades to HC, I'll try the OTA updates...maybe I'll get lucky.
Still hoping for a drop of the actual WiFi stock images (apparently the System.img is necessary)
Update: No luck on combining different file versions for me. It seemed to work, but the WiFi would not turn on.

My buddy just ordered a dell streak 7 off ebay. As soon as he gets it if it's all stock I'll create images from the device without the clockwork mod and root files. I don't know when he'll be getting it but I'll post the files ASAP
anyone else getting a white screen during the restore process near p11?
third time trying and i am stuck on dell logo. cant get into recovery at all.
any ideas.
