I just rooted my streak as normal and now it will not boot.
When I turn it on, it just displays ''dell'' but stays there forever.
I flashed it before and it was fine but now it is stuck.
Any way I can fix this?
i am no expert, but you'll have to give a lot more information than that
16.?
2.1 ?
versions
how did you flash?
how did you root?
to "fix" your Streak, reverting back to the Update.pkg should get you back working

2.1
Build 6267
How can I flash it when there is no superboot 6267 version yet?
Basically What happened is I upgraded my streak from 1.6 to 2.1
I downloaded root explorer but it would NOT work as my streak was not rooted.
I then rooted my streak using superboot but it was for the old version 3883.
The phone did not boot after this. I then tried superboot for build 4399, same thing the streak gets stuck on the dell logo.
I then looked for build 6267 which is what I have but it does not exist.
I wanted to root my streak with the new 2.1 version but it failed and ever since I'm stuck with the dell logo.
I know I can simply reinstall 2.1 but I will have to reinstall all my apps and set my phone up again.
Is there any way I can recover or somehow go back to the build of 6267 WITHOUT losing anything or reinstalling?
The last thing I want to do is reinstall 2.1 all over again...
I just reinstalled 2.1
Works fine now only I need to put all my apps back on as well as configure/setup all the settings...
I am noob in phone flashing. but after goin thru all sources online.. I tried flashing my Streak 5.
I tried rooting with "SuperOneClick2.2", but it was not detecting phone model or so.. So I tried Superboot... after android interface drivers installation.. phone was decteced in FASTBOOT mode and message in phone showed root installed.
After that, my phone is continually flashing the buttons & showing DELL's white logo on the black background.
All procedures were followed to the dot. However, as suggested in the post & elsewhere, I "factory-resetted" the device. Not worked. I then reverted back to the Android 2.2 "Update.pkg" I had in the sd card. Update was done as usual. But the phone just didn't get ON.
That was yesterday. Well today, all of a sudden, when I tried to on the phone, it started!!!!
But new problem, the phone is not rooted. Checked out with the Android emulator. Tried the whole procedure. Went through the same steps. Problem repeated. Solved. Again & again.. the phone refuses to be ROOTED!!!
What could be the problem?
First of all dont bump a year old thread,
secondly superboot will brick the streak as it's designed for a different rom,
thirdly use the guides on xda/wiki to reinstall with a update.pkg,
fourthly there's a guide halfway down the page currently in the dev section on how to root correctly
Use superone click
One click rooting methods are not infallible. The recommended way to root is to manually install StreakMod Recovery then Superuser.zip.

Hi guys I'm sorry to inconvenience you all but I have a problem that 2 hours of searching has failed to solve. I know you guys on xda-devs are awesome and respond quickly!
I bought a Dell Streak 02 with 16gb class 2 microsd today.
It has android 1.6 build 3883.
I rooted it with superboot (and i'm pretty sure it was sucessful, typing su in a terminal works).
I then looked into installing custom roms (first thing I do when I buy any PDA/Phone)
I decided that Froyo would be a good idea because I want to have a look at some multitouch apps and use skype.
I found the guide on here, installed the 4399 recovery successfully, downloaded the official latest 2.1 update and renamed it update.zip, booted into recovery and clicked the camera button. The familiar installing logo came up (i've rooted 5 android devices)
then after around 15-30 seconds it says the file was bad.
I've had this when a file fails to download properly, so i downloaded the file again, no look.
tried renaming it Update.pkg instead of update.pkg, no luck.
Tried downloading other packages, earlier leaked builds, even the 4399 1.6 ROM. all have had the same problem.
I tried a few different MicroSD cards, and no luck...
I don't know where to go from here. Please help me, i've googled and searched for quite a few hours now!
Thanks in advance

It doesn't show how to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1
I figured it out anyway.
Install a custom recovery for 1.6.
flash a 1.6 update.zip (4399)
install 4399 recovery
install 2.1 update
you know the rest.
I don't think a 3883 rom will work with the 4399 recovery for whatever reason.
Thanks for the help anyway Finally got froyo working!
Hey guys,
Im not new to flashing roms etc,
but this is the first time i have so much trouble with it.
I read the streak how to PDF and followed the instructions on installing superboot.
when i installed superboot, the phone reset itself, and when it turns on, the dell logo shows up and the "home and menu" led starts flashing on and off and the restarts again.
I tried following the instuctions on how to restore the phone, but none of it worked. i specifically followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
and when i try to flash the update.pkg, i get an error at the end about the boot bin or something like that.
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I heard something about a QDL tool i could use...not sure what that is and i couldnt find an exact answer searching the forums.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: found a guide on using the QDL tool, im going to try it now wish me luck lol
If u got yours from best buy u need to use QDL. Read carefully and just do as it says
thanks for the tip, it is indeed the best buy exclusive white one....running qdl as we speak
ok everything is good now!
i just need to figure out why when i try to install dj steves rom it gives me
"failed to verify signature"
ok so now i am having a hard time rooting the phone.
I am using the android 2.2 provided from QDL and am trying to root via universal androot which isnt working for me.
any other ways i can root?
note: im using a best buy dell streak
If you are updating to his 1.6 then you dont need to root it.
It it pre-rooted
thanks, I figured it out.
It turns out that the "how to pdf" (while an amazing guide) linked me to outdated versions of the the recovery which is why it would not work.
everything is working now,
running steves 1.6 and loving life. Thanks every one for your help!!!!!

Hope some one can help me .the history is my first dell streak was broken ;they changed to a new one with 315 2.2 froyo installed ,i cant uptade with any offical updates like 318 ,it become blank automicly and stuck to dell logo with fastboot,into I take out battery.then it starts normaly as it was closed ,have rooted with z4root now apk s tell that is rooted,still doesnt help to flash offical update from dells home page.my first one had no such problem .thanks
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
If you can get into recovery mode try doing a factory reset from there and then apply the official update from the stock recovery.You can get the 309 recovery image from this page if you need it (in case you have flashed clockwork or streakdroid recovery). Here is what I would do:
Flash stock recovery (if you don't have it)
Factory reset from recovery
Install the Dell 318 pkg file from recovery (rename it to update.pkg and put it in the root of the sdcard)
I rooted 318 with SuperOneClick V 1.5.5. I had to take my SD card out of the phone for it to work.
Thanks so much for your help,very nice post.That 318 is mandatory if you want to be able to browse a bunch of websites without any annoying message regarding too many connections.
you can also use the QDL tool on streakdroid.com and it will get you back to the stock O2 build and from their upgrading to 318 is a simple as doing to dell's website and downloading it via the web browser.... you don't even have to mess with renaming to update.pkg... just download 318 and hit install.... don't make this complicated folks... its really not that hard
hello everyone, i just got an unlock streak to use with t-mobile. im the second owner but the other guy said he just received it as a replacement from dell. this are the specs
baseband:GAUSB1A140514-US
build number:2.2
my problem:the phone is unlock so when i put my sim and boot i get the led flash 3 times and then goes on a boot loop. and it will keep doing it unless i take out my sim. i manage to get it to somewhat work by booting w/o sim, then put phone on airplane mode then off. place sim and boot. then i take it off plane mode and quickly turn of data. then wait for it to recognize tmobile towers, then turn on data and it works for a few mins then goes on a boot loop again. has anyone had this issue?
my second problem is i try to flash several GB base roms and it flashes but i get a lot of FC and cant run the rom. I currently have (miui 2.3.2 ENG DS5 ) and it runs fine w/o my sim. as soon as i put my sim its back to the boot loop.
btw i am not a noob to android, but am a noob to the dell streak. any help,tips,comments is appreciated thanks.

You need to flash gingerbread baseband files which are amss.mbn and dsp1.mbn through fastboot.
If you are not new to Android I'm assuming you have fastboot and adb drivers setup on your computer and/or the androidsdk installed to the C: drive and paths set to make command line flashing easy... if not then now would be the time to get all that done, if not then you will be back every other day asking for help and getting flamed..
on a side note, had you bothered to read QUITE A BIT MORE the answers I just gave you are provided in the stickies, not even much need to search really, so please don't be one of those newbies that starts a new thread or posts each time your Streak hiccups, ALL the info you need has already been gone over more times that I care to remember
Your baseband indicates the Streak at one point was running 405, the beta Gingerbread build. It's no wonder you're having problems given you're attempting to run Froyo with a beta Gingerbread baseband.
Where this Streak is used, it's best to flash a stock ROM first to ensure the Streak works properly. 407 would be perfect for this as it's the stock Gingerbread build but you could also use one of the stock Froyo ROMs as well. After flashing the stock ROM and making sure everything is working, then go to your chosen ROM, using the information in the stickies.

thanks for the reply, so then what you are saying is that the phone was on GB at one point? man, i knew this guy tryed to flash a dif rom before he sold it. He told me he just got it replace by Dell and decided he didn't want it. i fixed my second problem but im still having the issue with the phone rebooting when data is turned on and then freezes at boot screen.

thanks for the reply
correct i do have drivers and adb in my PC and this is not my first time using adb commands. and yes i did bother reading many threads and using the search tool and found lots of great info but nothing pin pointing to the same problem im having with the phone not liking it when i turn my data on.
Btw i figure out why non of the GB roms were working, when i was doing the factory reset i was only doing it through streakmod recovery. but when i FR on the previous menu it worked.
i also made the diagnostic test through fastboot menu to test the sim and every thing else and everything is fine
Sorry for the late reply. I believe your data issues will resolve themselves by installing 407. From there you can install one of the custom ROMs.
hmm ok ill try that
Hi All,
I picked up a Defy MB525 on ebay, mostlly to mess with but I need to use it as my daily driver for a while because I am buying a house and my money is tied up for that.
Anyway, it arrived with stock unrooted t-mobile froyo which I am sure you will all agree is unacceptable so i used framroot to root it and installed sndinit 2.3 and followed the instructions in the general section for installing KitKat. I followed the instructions including the note to update the phone to CM10 first which went fine. At one point, I had it running CM10.1 fine but when I installed KitKat, the phone got stuck at the boot screen. The instructions say that it is normal for it to take a long time and you will think you are stuck but I let it sit more than an hour. At that point I thought I was soft bricked so I went back and used RSD Lite to install the t-mobile eclair SBF on it, which is the only one I can find. All links to the Froyo SBF I can find are broken.
That is where I am stuck. When I try to install sndinit, I get no blue light on reboot and on the older versions and I get an SD mount error in the recovery.
I think the probably I am having are related to not having the Froyo firmware installed but when I try to install it the regular way, the phone reboots and I get the triangle with an exclamation point. As I said, I can't find the Froyo SBF. The links I can find are broken and I don't think it is listed here, which is where I found the eclair sbf:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27
My questions are:
Does anyone know where to find the most recent t-mobile sbf file? Do you think that is my problem? If not, what is?

I figured this out if anybody needs to know. I had to do a full system reset then restore the eclair sbf so that the phone is in the exact state it was in out of the box. Then the OTA install worked fine. I am still working on getting KitKat installed. It seems like I need to find the right combination of recovery and rom to get 10.1 installed.

To install KK, root, 2ndinit, then go to recovery and flash this and reboot - http://d-h.st/dWr. Then after reboot, go back to recovery (don't go back to the system). Then flash this - http://d-h.st/dz8 and immediately flash KK and gapps.
