[Q] Nell Help - Boot Loop (fixed instructions)

EDIT: She's back. The problem is that there's many sets of instructions out there... some that I think are for not-so-bad bricks (if there's such a thing) and other (longer) instructions for bad-brick. LOL
Anyway, HUGE HUGE thanks to soundcolor over on AllDroid for his in depth instructions. The part that saves my a$$ were the parts that came after the rdlite run when the phone goes into boot loop again even after the reflash.
Link to his instructions here: http://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&t=762
Anyway, hope that helps other people who might get themselves into a similar situation!!
I could really use some help here.
I tried to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749692
I was upgraded to 2.2 and before I installed it, there wasn't any post in the thread saying that you could install it on 2.2 (it said it was for 2.1... but lots of things are and still work on 2.2 so I didn't think it would be a major problem other than maybe not working).
Anyway, i followed the first step and pushed the framework file and it put my phone into bootloop.
So I tried to run rsd lite (sbf) and it did it's thing, but I'm still in bootloop.
Am I totally screwed here?

after the sbf finished did you take it off the usb, take out battery then put it back in and boot up from there?

hi paul. thanks for responding. see edit to orig post. all fixed. thanks though for helping out!!!

my phone wont restart after the framework-res push ....???

well, does this actually fix a bootloader problem? im just stuck at bootloader and i can't get into recovery or anything. just straight to bootloader.
also does bootloader erase all the files? meaning like roots and all?

Please Help

Thanks in advance to everyone and anyone who can help me. I bought my dell streak on preorder day in the US, like august 13th or so, and I love the device. I read all around and heard about the 2.1 beta and like anyone else was eager to get in installed. I rooted 1.6 no problem with superboot and installed clockwork recovery followed by the 2.1 update and it worked seamlessly. However after the 2.1 update I noticed that the Barnacles Wifi wasnt working and I didnt have superuser permissions in my application list. So I concluded that after the 2.1 update I was no longer rooted. So I flashed superboot again and god do I regret it. My phone is locked up at the dell logo, when I flash recovery.stock.img and reboot holding volume up and down and select option two my screen goes black and stays there. Im all ears to anyone who can help me. Thanks again.

Call Dell. Warranty Swap. Tell them your Streak is frozen on the logo screen. They will tell you how to do a factory reset. That won't work. They'll ship you a new one. Don't tell them you installed 2.1 and pray. Wait for the new one to come. Use 1.6 until 2.2 comes out.

Surely there is a solution without involving Dell. The phone still turns on and I can get to fastboot and I even managed to get to clockwork recovery.

Or you can get someone's Nandroid backup and restore their copy. Greenarcher posted his Nandroid backup with the latest 2.1 version.

BTW... when flashing, just use the same copy you had for the 2.1 version of your 'Update.pkg' and you should be ok. Your bootloader just crapped out after you flashed Superboot. Don't know why you did that but... hindsight!

I dont know why either, I simply presumed rooting would be the same application regarldess. You're correct sir, hindsight is 20/20. The thing is now when I follow those instructions (I had already read, reviewed, and attempted) I get a blank screen after selecting option number 2.

I wouldn't waste your time contacting Dell support, because if you've installed (tried to install) so crap mickey mouse third party update, they won't honor the warranty anyway!

I am not buying into my phone being a paperweight yet. The hardware is fine then software can always be repaired. There must be a fix for this, somehow.

it wasnt made a sticky because the info is pretty redundent and it can be found in pretty much every thread in the streak forums

well well well, my phone is up and running on 2.1 and is rooted. Hot damn.

dell streak stuck on logo please help

i can still get it to fastboot but it stop at dell logo please help me. I hate using my old phone is qdl easy to use or my other option is this place called 10,000 cell phone and he says he gonna send it to dell!

Please SEARCH!!!
I will only tell you to do a Factory Reset from the DELL recovery.
If you don't know what that means then you have to search. It's answered in here a million times

First of all, what did you do to your streak prior to this? Did you flash anything? Make sure you flashed the correct amss.mbn for your baseband. If they are not in tunewith each other you will get stuck on dell logo.

There is no Cyanogen for the Dell Streak so why would you try to flash with it

i thought it ws when i read it and thats what cost me!!! (((((((((((

Ok well then flash again with something made for your Streak like StreakDroid 1.9.0, but befor you do that read this thread I leave you here
http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=9694

i have read it several times and still cant understand it completely! on how to put on root of memory card.. is there anybody i can pay thru paypal that can fix it im that desparate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even by phone walking me thru it

That means...put it on the memory card,do not put it inside any of its folders.

i have streak droid 1.9.0 on sd card but cant get it to wor. when i try to update pkg. from sd card i get this " android sytem recovery utility gausb1a135331 to perform an emergency software recovery you will need to in microsd containing an update file (/sdcard/update.pkg) to download an update file."

you might be better off using QDL Tool and start again, I have found that it is always better to start from a working devise, there is also a video walk through to help you as well

You have to have StreakMod or Clockwork flashed to phone to use one of the custom ROMs. If you're getting that message that means our phone still is using the factory recovery image (all this is in the guide I posted for you that you claim to have read but obviously haven't).
Your best bet since you still have the custom recovery intact is to download a stock ROM update.pkg from the DELL Streak WiKi page and flash that.
I'd be more than happy to walk you through doing any of this over the phone but I live in Costa Rica and I don't think you wanna call hear, but that's up to you. I wouldn't charge you anything of course, mainly because the call wouldn't be cheap.

oddbubble when i click on QDL tool link that page says "error 404 page not found" ive looked every where for QDL tool and no luck!!! @cdzo72 $3.00 a minute to costa rica WOOWW

streakflash will do the same thing, its just meant to be used for bricked devises

Pre-requisites to flashing ROM:
1. Have small amount of technical ability, not much really.
2. Be able to read and follow instructions, lots of this ability is required.
3. Know how to use Google Search.
4. Tie your own shoes. Really says a lot about you if you can do this.
5. Walk and chew gum.
If you do not posess any of the above, a brick is usually what you get. Again try searching. The answer to your question is out there, because a thousand other fools have asked the exact same questions. Plus side to searching is keeps the forums free of clutter.

To install StreakDroid you should use StreakMod Recovery. It sounds like you still have the stock recovery installed.
.pkg files install with stock recovery
.zip files install with custom recobery

fix it i dl 353 pkg and recovery and it works NOW that for all your input fellas

Hey man happy for you... NOW that you know how to revive it then do A LOT more reading and in a few days you can try to flash the good stuff again (StreakMod and StreakDroid)

Touchwiz Update bricked my non-rooted Tab (static lines across screen)!

I decided to go ahead with the TW firmware upgrade. Everything seemed to be going fine until I tried to install it and it told me there was an error and I needed to hook it up to Kies first. I had already been using Kies with it on my Macbook for a couple weeks now so I went ahead and plugged it in. Kies recognized it as usual and all the information came up.
So I went on and tried to install again and it said it needed to reboot.
It reboots and comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen like normal (right before it starts the galaxy animation). Next thing I know it comes to a screen that looks like the attached images! I immediately unplugged it from Kies and shut it down. Every time I start it back up it does the same thing. I honestly have NO idea what to do. I can't even return it as it's past the 14 day period and I (stupidly) didn't buy Staples' bogus $160 insurance.
I was not rooted before. This was a stock tab that I bought at staples. It had the firmware 4.24 when I bought it, I think.
Please, any help is appreciated. I tried doing firmware recovery in Kies but the pop up comes up in Korean and I have no idea what it says...
Edit: More info. I'm not the only one with this problem. Two other people have posted on AndroidPolice about this. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/08/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wifi-touchwiz-ux-update-is-now-live/
The software is definitely running underneath all that mess but it's literally impossible to see what is going or to touch anything.

I guess this thread is about the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203610

Thanks, I'm checking the thread out now. I probably should have searched more than just Google before posting but I freaked out when it happened.

No need to freak out . we have xda and dev to solve all our problems

i have exactly the same problem as you... what should i do now?

I get the same screen but after rebooting! pfft it's making me really sad :\

So I need to follow all the steps for rooting except the last one which is the actual rooting? Great thanx! Do I need to use Kies? My current computer is Mac but I guess I need to download those things to a Windows machine to make it work, right?
Thank you very much

I had the same problem. I upgraded the update on my non-rooted tablet and got the funked up video mess. Per instructions from Samsung support, I hard booted to the recovery menu (power+vol down, then power up, down on download screen) and did the factory wipe. After that I ended up with the black screen. I could tell things were working in the back but couldnt see a thing. I figured I would throw it on the Kies and it saw that there was a factory upgrade so I let the Kies run through it and it works fine now.
Dont know if this will help w/other but it worked for me.

DVP stuck on boot screen, cant recovery mode, restore using back up

Hello, my DVP suddenly went bonkers and all i get is the DELL boot logo. I tried going into recovery to restore but pc wont detect. I cant do anything. i cant install anything using cab sender since cant detect and i cant unbrick due to same reason....anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

It sounds like the internal SD card crapped out. You could try my unbrick method but it sounds like it isnt being detected. Check in device manager to see if the USB device is being detected.

no detection at all. my friend told me he installed something on it using cab sender. Don't know what files were used but if need ill ask him. If only connection still worked i can restore stupid phone.

Anyone has any idea what to do? phone is just being paper weight now would like to use it again

i had the same problem with other DVP, and i think that the processor is dead, because the snapdragon QSD8250 have this issue, i know but some month´s ago, i buyed two non working hd2, thinking that have problems of software and after research many days, i find this problem ,this proccesor dies for overheating , to solve this i buyed two hd2 with broken display and change the board, for this reason, buyed a broken dvp to do the same, ...sorry for the bad news,

Im pretty sure its not a cpu issue, i mentioned my friend force install something using cab sender and the issue happened because of that. Im trying to figure out how to recovery from this issue. thanks for help anyways

I agree with you. I have the same problem because of skipped upgrading of ROM, form 7004 to 7720. I have tried some steps on the device,
and find JTAG pins on board, now I'm seeking a riffbox to fix the problem, maybe Nosker can answer if this is feasible. I had followed his thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207805
Just for your reference...

seems very interesting. I hope you guys are able to proceed with what you guys are doing. I read the thread, so if i were to fix it i would need a riftbox? im very noobie in the stuff mentioned in the thread but if you guys are able to give a guide then i can follow it . best of luck to you guys!

did you guys ever got this resolved? i'm having the same problem.

ok... anyone tell me, what's happen, when we re-write sd card from another device?

my dell venue pro stock won't boot normally

Has anyone come up with a fix for this issue? my DVP will come on and the DELL logo will appear for a few seconds then the connect to pc screen
comes up and thats all it will do. when this first started happening I could take the battery out and put it back in like 50 times and it would finally start working and it would stay working until the battery went dead now I can't get it to boot at all. any info would be great thanks
