[Q] Android 4.2.2 from Giveen - can't install - Dell Streak 7

Hello,
I am sorry that I have to write hear but I can't write in development :/
I wanted to update to Android 4.2.2 (recently I have CM 10.1 beta 2) so I paid and download and ... when I run install batch. I receive:
"Nvflash started
USB device not found"
I supposed it is driver issue. I checked in Device Manager and I found Dell Android ADB Interface, I found on this forum that it should be named nVidia. But there is no such driver in a package. What to do? Help please
I checked on second computer and I have the same. I am using Windows x64 on both machines.
best regards

I'm on W7 64 bit. That should work for you now but drivers can be a PITA. Delete that driver, reboot and reinstall. If that doesn't work download the NVflash file again.

He didn't put the device in APX mode.
The fact that it see's Dell ADB says he is in typical Android mode.

If so, how would it show up in his device manager?

The fact that he said this, tells me he wasn't in APX mode. If had been in APX mode it would have not showed this, also he said he put it in APX mode and it now worked :victory:

Since I seldom flash my DS7, I forget! I'm so use to using my N10 now although I use the DS7 daily. What mode was he in then?
I've noticed different names in my device manager after connecting my N10 and once in a while the DS7. The name Android Bootoader or something like that comes up. Still works just different name.

I use a OtterBox case so I'm pressing through it to the real buttons. Holding both down is a handful and sometimes it just boots normally.

hey guys..does anyone know if the jb 4.2.2 rom developped by ccxxx works/will work with the t-mobile ds7 (4G)??
i'm just curious as it appears from the postings in the ds7 android development page that they're talking about the wifi only version of the ds7..
can anyone comment/confirm this??

The one he built is no different than mine. He just copied my work. Its wifi-only.

well giveen,
i guess with all the talk/chatter none of these other cats has/will develop a jb 4.2.2 rom for the ds7 t-mobile 3G/4G edition.
i know that you were well on your way to doing just that..having separate roms for the wifi only and the 3G/4G versions of this device..
since ccxxx jb 4.2.2 rom for the ds7 is just a copy of your work..well why should i bother installing it?
i think that ccxxxx and those other cats could really be really helpful in getting jb 4.2.2 to work with the t-mobile 3G/4G version of ds7 and not just put a refresh or a new coat of paint on all the hard work you almost single handedly and painstakingly put in..
you are a good man giveen..keep plugging on dude!!!

Nope, I'm done.
I'm being a greedy bastard and with 2078 (and going) downloads and not a single donation, I don't care anymore.
I tried to sell it to motivate myself to continue but apparently its against the rules of XDA.
School keeps me busy these days plus getting more involved with information security people.

so the question is..
will anyone else besides giveen attempt to do a jb 4.2.2 rom for the ds7 t-mobile/4G?
i'm willing to give my support or two cents in helping with this build..
i know that there are modified rom or two out there using android hc 3.2 by dj steeve and the manii that work on the 4G ds7..
it'll probably take some effort but maybe it can be done..
will somebody really give it a shot of getting android jb 4.2.2 running on the 4G ds7??
i'd love to see this rom come to life..

Help dell streak camera
Hello I installed ANDROID 4.2.2 on my DELL STREAK 7 I have the camera and the photo does not work someone t there a patch that can allow me to make the camera work or if there is a possibility of return to a previous version or I can use the camera because I really need in my work

any KitKat for DS7 3/4G?
now that android 4.4 KitKat can run on older devices 512MB RAM, will anybody attempt doing any work on the 3/4G version of the ds7?
i know devs like the manii, giveen, DJ Steve have all done great work in the past with some awesome ROMS but the 3/4G version never seemed to get it going. i hope that it gets done now that KItKat is available.

I've hadn't been able to get a hold of DerArtem for months now, as he is the developer for the RIL.
I do intend on doing KitKat, hopefully in a month or so.

sorry
I'm sorry to see you leave @giveen. I currently have a 3G (i noticed you don't) version of DS7 and i wanted to use your CM10.1.
However, whenever i download (tried on 3 different providers on some of my servers) the archive seems to be corrupted. Also, not seeing any instructions doesnt really help me. Can you send me a pm with your link and instructions ?
Thanks.

Need help from android gurus extremely frusturated

Ok here it goes...
Ive come to the conclusion by having no luck with my previous thread which was asking how to fix " the usb is not recognized" after trying everything known to man and reading every thread that this is kind of a grey area. If your problem isnt obvious ie: debugging off or new usb cord etc... then ur sol ? I say this because the people who know their stuff are extremely detailed and make insanely great write-ups.
FTW can anyone explain or knows how to do this:
Fix the phone so that I can have full usb function ie: when i plug it in the comp wants to install drivers and the phone gives me the option to mount?
If not can someone tell me what choices I have???
To give some info my phone started this after (dont judge why i did this like this lol) installed freshhh 2.0b then the new radio then the new....heroc recov(from reading all day and night im guessing its the recovery)
also the phone will boot in heroc recov and will boot in fastboot but NO ADB sigh. and to take the cake me being frusturated seemed to break the cardinal rule no nandroid backup sigh sigh. basically i just want the usb back in action and fresh 2.0 w/radio. im sorry about the long post but im losin my mind over this. Thanks in advance guys as always every bit counts.
Go into your android dev kit and make sure you have the most current version of the ADB drivers. Are they updated? If so, make sure those are the ones you are using.
I've had similar issues before and I know it's wicked frustrating. Just keep toying with it... sure you'll get it eventually.

this happened to me with my brother's moment. I can't remember if usb debugging had to be on or off but it that is what I messed with to get it to work. Try throttling it on and off... Good luck

Re-install HTC Sync.. It updates the drivers...
there's some driver incompatibility if you've ever used another device with adb... you have to find the original device, put in dev mode, and overwrite drivers with that of the hero, then plug hero in and try agian.... if that is in fact your problem....
otherwise, htc sync should fix ya

PDAnet for android has some driverS you could try as well...

Yes PDAnet but I also had success with installing HTC Sync for the Eris.
I am using Win7 64bit.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-eris-verizon/downloads/
As per crunchybutternut's suggestion in a different thread, I followed the instructions in this link: hxxp://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ (sorry, I can't post links yet)
Basically, I downloaded USBDeview and ran it in administrator mode to delete all HTC and Android related drivers (while phone is plugged in).
I then unplugged and plugged the phone back in and it reinstalled everything fine except for the ADB driver, so I told it to let me manually choose a driver from a list, selected Have Disk and pointed it to C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
After that, I just set the phone to HTC Sync mode when plugging it in and it worked fine.

right now im doing alot of sql for companies who want full dbms. But pretty much know a little bit of it all. this is really fun to play with just a lil rough around the edges. i always liked linux tho!
And back to the problem i like the eris suggestion and I did all the rest. My only thought is this why after heroc attempt***???what does heroc do at the core behind being a boot prog what could it mess up or change if not flashed correctly? Thanks guys for the love
First, make sure your phone is NOT connected and open a command prompt. Then type the following command:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
You won't get any sort of output, it just goes to the next line. Then type in devmgmt.msc to open the device manager. Got to VIEW and select "Show Hidden Devices".
Now, expand the ADB Interface section, right click on each device individually, and uninstall. When prompted to delete the driver choose YES!
Go to the HTC Website to download and install the newest version of HTCsync.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=3&dl_id=852
Once installed it would probably be a good idea to reboot your computer before you connect your HTC Hero. Once the Hero is connected make sure you pull down your notification bar and select HTC Sync or it won't connect for ADB access.
Hope this helps!
I've had this problem before but it was usually after I rooted my hero and had messed around. I've bricked two of them with the RUU trying to fix it. Don't really know why the phones bricked still. Usually I just kept plugging the phone on over and over until it recognized it.

Dell Streak 7, now this is a brick!

I've bricked my dell streak 7 pretty good, here's what I did.
I purchased a T-mobile DS7 from ebay, it came rooted with a custom rom (3.1), I didn't like the rom and attempted to update to the latest official US 4G rom from the wiki. It didn't work and I got stick only able to get into fastboot and CWM. Now here is where I went really wrong, in a lapse of concentration while in fastboot I ran either: "fastboot erase boot" or "fastboot erase recovery" I can't remember which.
Now I can't seem to get into any mode! fastboot, recovery or ATX, is there any hope for saving this device? anything I can do? I'm pretty gutted..
Its charging but that's about all its doing!

Nope I think you're pretty much screwed my friend
well poop... Soon going to be near the dell service centre in KL Malaysia, do you think they would be able to reload some sort of android software on the device?
Maybe try nvflash? For example ICS B4 or HoneyStreak. It's worth a shot...
Dell Streak only applicable in US & UK, I dont think they could support in Msia,
I suggesting charge devices for few hours, boot into nvflash mode, if nvxx drivers prompt means your device still there,

get the honestreak R7 HD2, thats the only files u needed,
flash it in nvflash mode

Use NVFlash for a HoneyStreak this will take care of all of it.
fastboot erase only bugs out on the S5 from what i've heard, I think i recall someone else mentioning that it worked on the S7.
Are you sure for a fact you cant get into APX mode? as that is pretty much impossible to break without physical damage as it's stored in actual ROM I assume (as in literal write-once only memory)
I can get into ATX mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooharr Thats the best feeling ever after giving up all hope for this device. Nice, thanks everyone your all so kind!
hmm now what?... I'm going to do some research on how to flash a rom from atx mode.

Grab a rom that uses NVFlash, run the script it tells you to do while the device is in APX, done.
Try this I used it on my wifes t-mo streak lastnight to get back to stock
search XDA for this topic "Restore dell streak 7 (wifi only) using nvflash" second result in post # 51 there is a link that works nice for NVFlash

bionic ... new chalange

Ok guys ... this is the problem ...:crying:
I have (had) a Droid Bionic running ics leak 232 in Brazil (GSM/UMTS ... thanks to xda developers - "bionic in t mobile" thread).
While messing around with the phone connected to linux (baaad idea) at some point I deleted the bootloader ("happy finger" + lack of knowledge os linux).
Now, my phone doesnt power up and RSD Lite doesnt recognize it when connected but, when I connect it to the PC, a green light lits at the top right corner of the phone and Windows recognize it, at the device manager, as a OMAP4430 USB under TI Board tab. This leads me to think that some kind of life still exists down there or, the hardware is alive and waiting for the right software.
After a long quest for a solution, I found this: "forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f634/unbrick-dead-samsung-gt-i9250-galaxy-nexus-gt-i9100g-via-usb-cable-freeeeeeeeeeee-1465412/index9.html".
Now I think this is the way out of this mess (is the same hardware, OMAP platform from Texas Instrument), if exists any, but this was made for Samsung, by Samsung technicians, and doesnt apply to Motorola. :crying: again.
So, is there anyone who can help me, or have any idea of what can be done (other than trow it away or use it as a paper weight)?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards
I saw you haven't had any replies yet. My roommate had a similar problem, he managed to mount his system partition automatically and thought his SD card was partitioned into 10 or more partitions.
So he reformated the mount and had a dead phone right after, said he only got a small white light on his notification light when plugged in.
I didn't get a chance to check it out before he took it to Verizon for a refurb, so sadly I'm not much help. Just thought I'd input anything I knew since you still had an empty thread. Hope it comes back alive!

Have you tried using the command line version of moto-fastboot? It might work, but might not work... I think you need to boot into fastboot mode, but I could be wrong... Either way it's worth a try.
Also, does anything happen when you try to hold down the vol+ and VOL- buttons when powering on the phone?

Thank you for your answer danifunker;
The phone is dead. Pressing buttons does nothing. The only thing that happens is to lit the notification green light at the top right corner of the screen WHEN a plug it in my PC and windows keep telling me this is a unknown device. I unsuccessfully used OMAPFlash, but installing the usb drives that came with it, when I plug it to the PC, windows device manager shows me a new device "OMAP4430 USB" under a new tab "TI Board" , whitch is not recognized by RDS lite or adb or fastboot. Is only recognized by OMAPFlash. If you dont know about OMAPFlash, I found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701471 , but this procedure is for a Samsung, witch uses the same platform (OMAP4430), but I dont have the right configurations for the Droid Bionic.
Just the same

Can you explain exactly how you deleted the bootloader off of the Bionic? Knowing EXACTLY (what you ran, what you typed) what you did will help us help you.
As an aside, I had no idea there was a SGSII-OMAP variant, but I am not big on the Samsung phones, just assumed they've only been using their own SoCs for a while now...
Hi podspi.
Sorry for the delay.
As a matter of fact, wasnt me that bricked the phone. A friend o mine tryed to flash a gelly beam version, and did it via Fastboot,, under Linux (of witch I know almost notingh).
He told me that the problem was that he made:
fastboot erase mbm
and then
fastboot reboot bootloader
and so the bootloader was lost. He missed a step.
Any help will be greatly aprecieted.
Regards
IOW, since the mbm has been erased, and the mbmflashable hasn't been flashed, there is no way to get it into the bootmenu sceen anymore, right?
Hmmm. Let me ask some other folks too.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Infinity Running Tapatalk.
I wonder if a factory cable would work to get it to flash mode? Why would you even mess with the bootloader trying to install ICS? You do that through recovery, not fastboot.
I was on ICS ... This was an attempt to get it to JellyBeen ... I, also, dont know why. I was perfectly happy with ICS working in GSM/WCDMA. This is why I am so sad ... It was a very stupid thing to do ... As a matter of fact, I will get a factory cable, but I dont think this is gonna help. Anyways, I am keeping it by side to remember me not to mess with things that are working fine. I'm kind of losing hope that it can fixed.

I think we need to figure out how you flash mbm back onto there. Actually, I think it's mbmloader that you need on there...
mbm = Motorola Boot Manager (?) maybe.
After reading this page: http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project
I believe, mbm = uboot, mbmloader = x-loader
Just found this page... http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/How_to_load_mbmloader_from_SD_card
download the SBF and grab the mbmloader for ICS. See if you can get a little further...
SamuriHL sHouse of Bionic restored mine when all I could get was fastboot.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
It won't help this. It needs to be flashed at the omap level and since moto isn't about to release the configuration files for the Bionic you can consider this one permanently bricked.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
I tend to agree with SamuriHL. I was thinking that the configuration souldn't be so diferent than others (like Samsung) that uses the same platform (omap). I know that it's naive, but what else could I do. Also, I need the signed files for x-loader and u-boot, of witch I think danifunker is right, this means mbm and mbmloader, that I have, but they came in bin format and not image format (.img). I will try to convert them to .img, but I am at the end of my resources (not that they are so many), and will give up shortly. At this point (giving up), I will buy another cellphone AND IT WONT BE A MOTOROLA, Probably a HTC or a Samsung. But I will keep Bionic at my desktop, as a paperweight, to remind me how I liked it, how I mess things up.
Anyways, if I manage to solve this problem, I will post here, and I wish to thank everyone that spare their time to try to help people. If anyone have any suggestion, I'll be glad to follow.
If you modify them in any way they'll no longer be signed and won't work. Someone else already went through several weeks of trying to fix their phone that had similar issues. He's well connected and still couldn't get the necessary files. Don't necessarily give up on Moto, though...it's not their fault we're stuck with locked bootloaders. Blame VZW for that one. Even Samsung was forced to lock the S3 on VZW. Things may change some day. We'll have to wait and see.
You can always get RAZR i with the unlockable bootloader! that might make things a bit easier...
IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!
IT'S DONE ....... IT IS ALIVE AGAIN :highfive:
Guys. My phone is alive again. Thanks to FRAGULINA and PICGRABBER for their unvaluable help. It is now running GSM with data enabled (3G) with ICS 232, rooted, thanks to FRAGULINA and HTCFlyerX ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31101192&highlight=build+prop#post31101192).
Well, I'm attaching 2 zip files. One is omapflash and the other is "THE FILES", and instructions on the "release_notes.txt". This works on LINUX.
And works like a charm. Took me (much) less than 5 minutes to get me from a dead phone to bootloader fastboot. And the rest is history. Well known procedures.
Thanks to all of you that helped or tryed to help.
Enjoy.
To those who have an interest in new challanges (as I know you are), i'm opening a new quest and would appreciate your thoughts.
I have at hand an atrix 2 and I want to find where in hell is the subsidy code writen at and how can I read it. This new quest will be at the proper location at the atrix 2 forum.

Can we use this method to flash any firmware to the phone? Lets say you load the latest ICS, maybe we use this method which restores the most original bootloader to the phone and then flash to any version?
Which version did you fastboot to?

Firmware Upgrade Without Fastboot

Hi All
Managed to get myself S-OFF last night as I need to upgrade my firmware.
Problem I have is my machine is windows 8.1 and it won't recognise my phone in fastboot mode (adb is fine)
Does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade my phone any other way that using fastboot ????
Cheers

Thats all well & good if you have USB 3.0. But in my case I don't & I don't have that Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver rev. 1.0.6.245 on this computer so I cannot install it.
How it shows when it is in fastboot.
When the phone is booted up it shows as normal as a ADB device. All I want to do is s-off the damn thing :/
same here
no usb 3 thats why it doesnt work for me.
i appreciate peoples help but it always annoys me when people say things like "go and have a look, there's loads of threads on this"
I spent about 4 hours looking last night, tried everything mentioned even though I knew deep down it wouldn't work. Dunno why some people have to be so pissy with their answers.
(nikk this isnt aimed at you)
also as well
no one has actually answered the question i asked, i get some pissy answer saying go and use the search button etc.
all i wanted to know is can you upgrade firmware any other way apart from fastboot, i.e. via twrp etc .....
if not then i'll have to rebuild an old machine with windows 7, just wanted to save myself the time thats all

It is really annoying isn't it. Something that worked perfectly fine on windows 8 fails to work on 8.1. I have tried all the different threads must be about 15 threads & 10 websites i've visited & none of them have a work around :|
You could probably get a flashable zip if you have a custom recovery if not then installing windows 7 is probably the only way, Unfortunate for me I don't even have windows 7 :|

on the 1st screen, are you not able to manually select a driver, something like Update Driver -> Let me choose -> Let me pick from list -> My HTC?
sorry if i'm wasting your time, cause it happened to me once even on Win7, and I had to manually select it. and then it worked

I got fastboot to work by installing the newest stock updates from http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-771-3-zip/
Now I can't get adb to work hahaha oh my this is annoying. I have flashed back to CM11 4.4 i can't be bothered with the hassle no more.

CM13 and future son in law bricked my Lg G2

So here is what I know, an attempt was made to update my G2 by someone other than myself. It now has a black screen and no recovery, it has also been attempted to be repaired by the same person. My pc no longer sees my phone, no download mode or anything else. Is there any hope for this device?
Well, any thoughts from the vast knowledge pooled on here?

When you start it pick #4 fixed then #5 unbrick.. You must have had USB Debugging mode Enable prior to bricking.. Also check device manager in windows and check ports.. Will try to help you the best I can, had the same issue 3 days after getting the phone.. If you get it to work after use th Lg program and do fix phone or you will have a lot of issues.
No JOY,

The problem I'm running into is there isn't a bunch of disks shown, only the fixed disks in my comp. So nothing is being seen or they are not there to see.

That is what should happen.. You need the qhsusb QUALCOMM DRIVER..
it is seen as that and on com 7, tried the srktool, no drives detected. the qhsusb_bulk driver loads so it does see something......
Well, I guess it's dead if no one else has any suggestions....... what a shame I really liked this device.

I have the VS980 (Verizon version) and I was completely...and I mean completely dead (due to my own mistake) , no charge, no power, no download mode, no led, nothing at all. I had a full on 100% brick sitting on my desk. BUT.....I went here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404 and was able to bring it back to life. Now yes you do have to open the device and mess with inside parts but i was able to get mine going. The guide here is for the other models (specifically not the vs980) but I was able to finagle the inside parts to make it work the way I needed to. From there I was able to boot back up and i flashed all the way back to 10B and just OTA back up to lollipop and root again and install TWRP and I'm back up to where I was a few weeks ago, of course I lost everything (texts,photos) in the process but I am back up and running and I am happy I was able to pull that off thanks to the great folks who figure all this stuff up for us.
So I would say go for it and try it, or if not I could do it for you, and if not I'm am surely positive that someone here can help you figure it out with your current situation. Cheers.
PS, if you dont want to mess with it, just let me have it LOL!
