I've got a tmobile streak 7 and can't get it to do anything. Someone tried to root and now all it does is FC. It wont reset or wipe data. I downloaded all the update packages and none work. Onty one comes close but then says "modem install error" I can flash CWM in fastboot but it gets overwritten by stock. I have also tried tried Gingerbreak to root and one click to at least get root to go rename rename recovery.install.zip so CWM won;t get overwritten but its a no go. I think I have tried everything and I am still stuck on this same stock ROM with all the same data that wont get erased. Also reset button doesnt do anything either. Any help would be appreciated thanks guys

Edit: just restored with NV Flash and it didnt work. It flashed fine but it is still on the same crap

clear dalvik cache and see how you go, you may have a read only device, in which case charge you device for 24hrs, perform a wipe from fastboot, push recovery, system and boot partitions back onto the device and see how that turns out

Thank you for the rapid reply!

I have let it fully charge and still can do nothing. I can't erase in (fastboot) anything or flash anything. Not even Dalvik cache.

have you tried booting a different boot.img from fastboot?

if you can then you should be able to wipe caches, if not refer to the read only mode thread

if its still under warranty then see how you go getting it replaced by dell, mine was a temporary thing I fixed it after a bad flash... pull a logcat of the boot I wanna see if you can get anything in comparison to a RW device.. what rom were you running?
