I am totally new to this, I had a guy root and install honeycomb on my streak 7, I hate it and just want to go back to a stock rom. I have looked all over the forums about NVFlash and stuff but I can not get it to work for me, I must be doing it wrong, so I was wondering if anyone has a link to a youtube vid for flashing the Dell Streak 7, I looked but didnt find anything helpful. Any help would be awsome because I am ready to throw this thing through the wall, nothing but errors lol.
If you haven't already, I would try following the instructions in this thread:

Hey all, this is a great forum so ive decided its the best 1 to post about my issue too: ive got my phone locked, now ive paid for it to be unlocked and i think its only fair that i can be able to remove the software that comes with the phone from the phone carrier which i dont need: like uno trial, guitar hero trial etc...
So ive heard that i need to root my phone but i am totally unexperient at this as ive never done it before and never had an android phone before so please could someone give me a full step by step guide of what i need to do to root my xperia x10 mini pro android 2.1 update 1? its a great deal for me as not only it should help me remove useless apps that keep installing themselves once i restart the phone but it also helps me install apps on the SD card rather than on the limited 128mb phone internal memory.
Thanks very much in advance!
hey im sorry ive forgot to mention
im running windows xp pro sp3 all updates, if you need to know anything else please tell me what and ill specify it
No one willing to show me a complete guide for this? :\ all guides ive seen so far do not mention "basic steps" which i cant actually guess them if i havent done them before no? ive heard something about installing some drivers and adb but ive got no clue wth they mean with that, any help?
Thanks in Advance!
Every phone is different try going to Google or the fourms search typing in your phones make and model and the word root or how to to root "your phone" good luck
Sent from my hero running froyo with the XDA APP
thats what ive been doing but many ppl were complaining that they were not complete and did not explain what adb meant or what did they mean that u had to install the drivers, all ive seen was replies like "oh how are u trying to root your phone without knowing what a simple thing like adb means" and not helpfull crap like that...
Well thx anyways i supose im gonna keep looking :\
Hey guys sorry for this but I have been trying to get android 3.1 installed on my Htc Hd2.
I know there are loads of threads out there on this and I must have read most of them from top to bottom but i am only getting more and more confused.
I have froyo 2.2 installed on my hd2 with a few months which I did via this article
dkszone.net/install-nand-android-rom-htc-hd2
Does it make a difference for me having installed via nand? Im not a computer expert I just love tinkling with my phone and am really afraid that if i keep winging it I will end up bricking it
I have been trying to install by using this guide but i cannot get my phone to root.
androidpolice.com/2010/04/16/complete-guide-how-to-fully-back-up-and-restore-your-android-phone-using-nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/#one-time-setup
I have titanum backup downloaded and then it wants me to get busybox but I cannot get SU to work and give it permission.
Please if anyone could just help me get 3.1 installed I'd be very grateful.
I think if i can get it to just root I could get the rest done
P.S my apologies if this is in the wrong section
ok today i rooted my moto droid on 2.2 frg22d
i used superoneclick.
i have not downloaded any customs roms or kernals.
all i have done so far was get superuser, titanium backup, andross(screen cap)
a market launcher and themes
quick boot
after reading it said i needed to do a nandroid, but i boot in recovery mode i do not have the option to backup/restore.
i never manually installed an update.zip file unless SUC did it automatically.
i tried unrooting using the program and windows freezes around step 7, closing the program.
im really nervous i messed up my phone. i made a huge mistake, even though i have been doing some research. all i really wanted to do was take screenies and not so hard stuff.
i dont know how to flash anything and most of the tuturials are really confusing, is there anyway someone could send me detailed instruction to unroot to factory or whatever i just want the root gone, the rooted programs gone, and i just want the normal 2.2 frg22d back before i do anything to brick my device.
sorry if this is in the wrong forum, i read the hacking one saying if it isn't developement related it was likely ban me. please feel free to relocate this to a more appropriate destination, im just really lost with there being so many tutorials and guides. :/
Sorry for posting in this section about the nook tablet, but i cant post in that section until i have 10 posts and im a complete noob and dont want to randomly reply to posts trying to sound like i know what im talking about. Anyways, quick question: am i going to lose my flash support on my nook if i root it?
No, flash still works. Rooting will just let you install a new launcher, android market, amazon market, and lots of other things that B&N wont allow you to. You will still have access to the B&N store and apps as well.
Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487 . It worked great on mine. Only had a minor issue getting Windows to not auto install drivers so I could use the USB Drivers for root. Also dont be a noob like me, turn off your wireless after your initial registering of the device. My Nook updated to 1.4.1 which broke my root while I was screwing with the USB drivers and before I finished Indirects script and had OTAs blocked. So I had to do it twice
EDIT: Im also working towards 10 posts so I can think Indirect in his thread ;P
thanks man! my root went well. i had the same problem with the drivers but i just decided to use another laptop. thanks for the help
Hi Im currently trying to root my nabi 2, I have followed all the instructions on the post by jmztaylor, everything seemed to go well but nothing has chased or installed?! Am I doing something wrong?! All drivers are correct etc as I used pdanet?! Im a bit of a noob when it comes to android as Im only starting off with it, I have recently lost all my faith with apple and decided to jump on the android bandwagon! Im just hoping someone can help me out, even if theres a video tutorial would be great. Thanks
