Big problem, my streak wont turn on

Hi,
So I was about to flash cwm in fastboot, did that... and I just kind wanted to try to wipe user data and cache with fastboot also (yes I know I can do that later but i'm an a-hole)... it wrote on the screen user data erasing done, but it kinda hung on the cache erasing step, so I closed the cmd window and start a new one in order to reboot the streak from fastboot.... didn't work and said: "failure to reboot", so I took the battery off and then replaced and I stuck with the streak that can't turn on... tried to pull the battery SIM and sdcard but no luck...
Any help please? thanks

There's several BIG BOLD WARNINGs about not using fastboot erase.
The only way to fix it is to dissemble it and reformat the innerSD

Thanks man (didn't notice the worning cause like I said erlier: I'm an a-hole)
So how can I do that my friend?
BTW, are there any chances that it could be fixed by anysoftware tool?

How about QDL tool my friend?

You must disassemble it to fix it, there is no other way

I've found a good tuto. now after I take it apart, how can I find the innerSD?
And also, is it a 100% succeeding chance? and thank you Sir!

Did some research and found this: GPG JTAG Box... do i need it to get the streak to work?
Besides, if I open my streak, could I easily rremove the inner SD card? and what exactly should I do with because I didn't find anything related to this specific subject?
Come on guys, this topic is unique, and most likely people would go in this road too (if they're a-holes like me of course)

Just unformat it

Sir do you mean format it? if that's so, I'll format it with an xperia arc... is it Ok?
Sorry to ask all this dumb questions, I'm really frustrated and I need the steack to work before tomorrow (travel)

Remove all partitions and leave it completely blank,
then put it back in the streak and it should reformat it

So it's not completely dead, isn't it? please man confirm it!

Hi. i've succeeded to get the inner sd card and i formated it (fat32) then i put it again... but no luck

I think he means delete all partitions, so there are no formatted partitions on the sd card.

I've deleted all partitions with no results... I'm losing hope folks, ans it's really sad to get the streak end up like this (with such naive/silly manœuvre)
Any thaughts folks! thank you

If you know someone else with a streak you could do an exact copy of their internal sd card, that might work. Just copying the files over wouldn't suffice, you've need to copy the partitions exactly.

Sadly I'm the only owner of the steak in my region (perhaps the only one in north africa...lol) so my only solution would be the users of dell steak here in xda...
Edit: Can anyone please post a link to the inner sd card content/partitions... cause i didn't find any!
Also, what I dont' understand is, what is the affected part after i did the fastboot -w command? if it's in the inner sdcard then it sure can be recovered by reformating/adding content to the inner sd card (comon sens)?! please correct me if I'm wrong...
Update: I did a full scan to the inner sdcard (after i formatted it) and the minitool partion wizard repport showed this:

From what i understand, you must get rid of everyone of those partitions listed. I have previously used a program called killdisk to prepare a usb stick for Chrome os, this should be similar. Its a free program that systematically wipes every sector on the disk one by one.
The freeware version is available at http://www.killdisk.com/ I've never used it on an sd card so I would use extreme caution.

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
CWMR Touch V6.0.1.0 with 3.0.8 kernel, adb work perfect, no need to reboot recovery for SD card mount.
Installation Instructions:
Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off
Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.
Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see recovery.img etc.
(optional) Rename recovery.img to recovery_backup.img
copy the new recovery.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.
Hold volume + and power to boot to recovery.

Note to everyone - I'm almost sure the backups made with this cwm are not compatible with older versions... the folder structure of the backups in the sdcard is very different from backups from previous cwm versions... but I'm not 100 % sure, it might be the case that older versions recognize the new folder structure as well, but I didn't test this yet.

Yes, I mentioned this too. And worse thing is that the backups aren't compressed, so they take double space on card that the tar archives.

I made a new backup and now size is same for me too.
Nanroid backup takes a backup of all parts of the rom, so after another rom flashed you can return the device in the same state was before. I don't think that there is an app to do this.

[Q] How can I Transfer apps and all data from old Nexus 7 to a new one??

Just bought a new 32GB Nexus 7 clearance sale to upgrade from my "early adopter" 8GB 7. Damn Google for not putting a Micro SD card slot (like my 10" ASUS TF) on the Nexus 7, so how can I transfer all my apps, settings and data to my new Nexus 7 ... without doing a Rooting?? (not interested in Rooting my devices). I have about 6GB of used space on my old Nexus 7 with Apps, setups and data.
There has to be a way to do it via cloud, Micro USB via a PC, or using my LAN NAS? Someone has to have had to do this before?
Thanks

There are several ways to do this, but they all require root afaik - what you want to do is low-level data handling, and those operations normally require root access.
1) You could use a toolkit to backup and restore your data partition.*
2) You could backup your data partition with custom recovery and restore it to new rom.*
3) You could use a backup app like titanium or ROM Toolbox to backup and restore your apps and data.
I think all of the above methods require root. * Note: * To be able to backup and restore your entire data partition (including PAID apps which are normally encrypted), you need to have playstore encryption disabled, which also requires root.
When I switch between roms, I do a backup with all of the above 3, just to be safe!

In my OP I specifically stated I was NOT interested in Rooting. So the information was not of any help. There is no reason that I can see for Rooting to simply move files, Apps and data. Apps are not in the Root, are self contained and I'm not wanting to move the OS or the OS settings.
From feedback I got on another forum a comprehensive Backup app like Helium backup may well do this by putting the BU on my linked PC. But I am still open to suggestions (that DON'T include Rooting) from those that have had this same problem, transferring from an old 7 to a new one.

The screenshot highlights you don't need to be rooted in order to use the backup and restore.
FWIW, I would use Helium.

Thanks, I am leaning toward the use of Helium too. But still open to ideas.

May I necro this thread and ask a continued version of the same question? Hoping so because here I go.
I too would like to copy/backup data from my Nexus 7. I'm an inexperienced user and Google led me here. I'd prefer not to have to root the Nexus, as I hear horror stories about making it a "brick". I tried Helium, BUT.....
Helium can't be used on anything but the owner's profile. I have virtually nothing of interest on the owner profile, and everything I want to back up is on the secondary restricted profile.
So, is there a way to get around that? I've heard of the Nexus Root Toolkit posted above. Will that backup primary and secondary user accounts, without rooting? And if I do have to root it, is that Toolkit beginner-friendly enough to be safe, or should I just resign myself to losing all that data anyhow?
(Curse Android and Google for not doing this already, they must know it's a much-demanded function!)
Thank you to any who can give me a little more info on the topic.

Probably gonna need a factory reset, maybe a full flash to stock.

Well, considering the nexus 4 doesn't have an external SD card but rather a partition on the internal storage called sdcard there should be a way to fix this on the software side. Are you rooted? If yes use es file explorer and try to access your storage from the root directory (/sdcard/).

Yes, I'm rooted. I'm on Paranoid Android 4.3
I've used Solid Explorer (like es explorer) and I can access sdcard and all my files are still there

So it seems the partition is not broken. I think the /sdcard/ path is a symlink. The actual destination on my device is /storage/emulated/legacy. Maybe the link to /sdcard/ is broken. Usually apps just access /sdcard/, might be the reason why it's not working. I'm not familiar with that kinda stuff, though. Maybe someone else can shed some light.

Yeah /sdcard/ is a symlink hopefully someone can reply with advice

Due to the fact that you can access the symlink with a file manager I doubt the problem is the symlink itself but maybe the permissions?
This is what mine look like. I've used script manager app because it shows permissions and symlinks easier.

Seriously... a signature is limited on characters and this is just a simple little if statement; it's not supposed to be good code and clearly you're the beginner if you don't know what language it is and question if it's delphi.

Go to ROMS and kernels in XDA, then Axon 7 Factory Images/Full OTAs
And click on the link to download from mega. Download b13. Unzip and copy the update.zip file to the root of your sd. Then go to updates on your phone and follow it through.
Just done it on mine and it's a massive improvement. Especially on the camera.

I think Mega has a app that might work better on a phone -- they use a kind of a janky client. The only reason I used it for the repo is because they give 50 GB for free. I don't really trust their privacy, so I only put up stock files there and the like. You might want to try using it from a computer. You have to get the update file inside the download file anyway.

Any risk of these going wrong?

This is my current SD card after much playing about. Selecting `updates' in settings phone does not recognise an update. What I'm I doing wrong? Still says b07 is my latest build.

When I try up unzip on PC my laptop wants to download a Firefox plug in for mega. This fails when you try to download. I'm pulling my hair out guys

This is a shot of inside the unzip b13 file on SD, the earlier shot is myself copying update. Not sure if I needed to do this

Any thoughts gentleman,? Anyone got a link to b013 that is not via MEGA cloud?

http://www.zte.com.cn/china/sitecor...rt/detail?id=B4C0ACE418834F588FED0C72D6046C78

I did it on my laptop. I used Chrome browser to download. Once downloaded, unzip the update.zip file to your desktop.
Then plug in your phone to your puter and copy it to your SD card - the root of your SD card.
Once copied, disconnect from your PC and go to settings, update on your phone and there should be recognition of the update.zip
