Ok, I have another thread elsewhere but it's not helping. Here's the deal.
Dell Bought AT&T Streak on Contract.
I rooted by Universal Androot and it said "woot" it worked (or something to that affect)
As far as "Update.pkg" I have used 4399 and 6941 and below is what happens (with other recoveries too, 6941 and clockwork)
I then got into fastboot and flashed recovery r1-4399-Streak-Recovery and it went well. Phone said "done"
So I unplugged from USB, took out battery, put back in and held volume/up/down and power..........chose 2
Dell logo comes up for a second then I get taken to a screen where it says
Android System recovery utility - GAUSB1A110421
Press the Shutter button to start emergency software recovery.
Warning: All data will be erased.
Press the Volume Down button to power off without recovery.
I have tried not hitting anything (which takes me to the Dell Logo eventually where it just stays stuck) and I have tried hitting the camera button which does the same (after I get a load icon)
So, since I don't have access to my phone to know exactly what stage it's in, I don't know where to start again.........Please help........I really need my phone and at this point don't care about 2.1. I have about 9 hours into this so far.........
Tried another way by using clockwork recovery 1.8.1.7 (any later versions just boot into a black screen)
I initially get Cant Find MISC: errors, but still get options so I installed build 6941 and got a few more errors.........then
install from sdcard complete
E: Can't find MISC:
so I was back in clockwork and held the camera button on "reboot" and am stuck at the Dell Logo again.............Please, I'm about to call Dell and turn this back in, I seriously need a phone........2 days with this and I think I've tried everything.........
So what do you have on there as of right now?
last thing I was able to install through clockwork was
downloaded 4399-update-streak-stock-rooted-signed.zip from http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/314313/how-to-get-your-streak-back-to-factory-condition/ and renamed the whole zip file update.pkg then through clockwork I get what's written below......
update.pkg.zip
E: cant find Misc
finding update package...
opening update package...
Installing update...
Installing system...
Writing boot image...
Install Complete!
Install from sdcard complete.
then from clockwork recovery I go to "reboot system now"
and get E: Can't find MISC:
Then it reboots and I see the Dell Logo and the Home and Menu Keys flash like crazy, then I have the Dell Logo and it just stays there (30 mins so far)
I really feel like I've tried every combination, This round it keeps flashing the home and menu keys every couple of minutes, but is still on the Dell menu.
Are you sure you're renaming it right? I don't think it should display update.pkg.zip.....
I have tried downloading just PKG files and renaming them and using stock recoveries, as well as downloading "zip" files and renaming them............given that I don't think anything has ever taken, I'm not sure what build I have anymore, or where to start?? I have seriously tried everything I can find from Streaksmart, MoDaCo, and here............I think I have too many variables going on and no way to know where a starting point is..........is there something I can do from the SD card through a reader that will help, or what...........I'm thinking I'm still on my 1.6 ATT 6061, but really don't know.
Hm, maybe try this?
HOW TO RESTORE YOUR STREAK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION:
Option 1.
1. Download the stock recovery ROM HERE (http://hotfile.com/dl/61659279/506ac40/recovery.stock.img.html) and the stock official Dell ROM HERE (http://hotfile.com/dl/61663686/7d7e528/Streak_104_4399_21.pkg.html).
2. Rename the stock official Dell ROM 'Update.pkg' and put it in the root directory on your SD card.
3. Boot Streak in fast boot mode (hold camera button when turning on), press 'Fast boot Mode' button, wait 10 seconds then connect to your PC (must have Dell PC suite installed).
4. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where your 'fast boot-windows.exe' is stored.
5. Type 'fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery c:\recovery.stock.img' . Make sure the .img file is in c:\ directory. The program will now update the recovery image on your Streak.
6. Once the phone reads 'Recovery Done', remove the battery and insert it again.
7. Boot Streak in Recovery mode (hold down vol up and vol down when turning on) and select option 2.
5. Wait till it installs and it'll boot into Android....DONE!
Option 2
Place update.pkg on SD card root folder
Power up streak whilst holding both volume buttons
Select option 2 - "software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card" by pressing camera button
Press camera button again Job done
Thanks to the Guys over at MODACO for putting this together.

I don't know why, but I got the O2 splash screen and it booted up...........I have flashing buttons, but that's ok for now, I'm going to figure something out from here! It's been a long two days!! Thanks!!

No problem. Glad I could be of assistance!
I have 2.1 now, and it's awesome!! Not sure why folks are wanting to go back to stock....and now that the source code is out, I'm sure good things are coming!!
could you give a list of the files you used to get to 2.1?
I'm using a U.S dell streak Build 6601. Rooted with the flashing buttons. I've returned it to the stock recovery ROM because all the others and clockwork that I tried gave me the blank screen like you described. With the stock recovery and the O2 build from the post JaysFreaky mentioned gives me errors:
E: No Signature (972 files)
E: Verification Failed
Thanks!
Oh and a general question, would the official O2 2.1 update work on a rooted U.S streak? Or is it best to "start fresh" with the O2 1.6?
Okay, I'm successful now too, But I want to share HOW I achieved my success.
I followed the advice here: http //forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7668927&postcount=6
And infact, I did so without using the custom Recovery roms, I just used the stock recovery WITH the 2.1 update, skipping the O2 1.6...be patient though, because through out the processes, there were moments I thought it was hanging, it wasn't. Also toward the last step, it sits at the O2 logo for a bit then it gives you the heavenly start up sound and you're GOOD TO GO.
Good luck everyone and happy streaking!

I used the recovery file from the post in this thread. and I used http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/316229/19-aug-streak-2-1-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/ for 6941. Worked fine, after reading all over the web though, I'm gonna say that something is "twitchy" about rooting and adding new ROMS on the streak though. I followed directions exactly from at least 6 different folks and there are still tons of questions being posted. I don't think it's peoples inability to follow directions, it's that what works for some, doesn't work for others.

Would anybody be willing to make a video on this I'm having a hard time witn all this

johnniedell: Different result for me:
I was an in the same situation as you were...
Streak US AT&T
Baseband version: unkown (used to say GAUSB1A111231-US, but not after numerous tries)
Kernel 2.6.29-perf
OEM version GAUSB1A111231
Build number 6601
Device is rooted. (Universal Andoroot)
Flashing the 4399 recovery image apparently works (says Done)
But as soon as it reboot and flash the Update.pkg (tried o2 stock 4399 1.6) I have the error message:
E: No Signature (972 files)
E: Verification Failed
After that I reboot and I'm back on AT&T 1.6. No harm done, so I've decided to try going direct to 6491 2.1.
No "E:" error message. It goes directly into loading the new ROM!!
However, after 2 reboots, it still doesn't pass the DELL logo screen!!! So I'm trying the one from Jays (apparently different from 4399 stock as the file doesn't have the same size). This time the home and menu buttons flashes all the time but I get all the way to the O2 screen and finally the Streak starts!!!!
Then I've applied the O2 2.1 6941, which at the end of the process produced a new screen with a green install progress bar and the info: DT: A3.724 Built date: Jul 7, 2010 10:03:09.
After that the system automatically proceeded to a factory reset and rebooted.
I thought I'd post my story in case it helped others!
Anyone still watching this thread?
I have an AT&T version of the Streak. I have the stuck logo, flashing lights issue. also. I think I've tried everything possible on these forums and had no luck yet. When I attempt to flash the stock rom (or any rom) it says "error in E: /sdcard/update.pkg.dec" My poor NEW Streak hasn't seen the face of Android UI in two days! PLEASE HELP ME!
Remember, O2 1.6 and 2.1 are not flashed from clockwork. Just put the Update.pkg in the ROOT of your SD card and use the stock recovery. There is not manual find for it. If you get stuck a the Dell Logo, do a factory reset and reboot.
Streak locked with Dell logo following update 2.2.
Hi guys.....Urgent I need help!!!!!!!....five days ago I have update to Froyo 2.2 (pack to baseband 00) from 1.6 in unlocked Streak to AT&T, baseband 31-US, version 6601....and now my Streak is dead and lock to Dell logo with black screen. I have intentend all recommendations in this thread and in Modaco, Streaksmart.com, etc, etc.....and nothing: my device is locked and dead,.....please I need help!!!!!!...any idea is apreciated.
Thanks.
Maurice.
I have yet to find a method or combination that works to update the new white Dell Streaks from Best Buy to any working version other than 1.6. I resolved the issue I had by flashing the original baseband and stock software back to the device. I guess I'll be waiting until there's an official update for this thing. Wear90, I would suggest you flash the original back on it and wait. Trying to get anything else is a headache of incredible proportions. Just sayin'
i must be missing something i get the dell logo and it dose its changeing couler bit but thats it.followed the upgrade thread from homeiss please help
how do i go back to a working phone
copy the upgrade file to your SD card (use a computer to do this)
make sure the file is called Update.pkg.
press and hold the volume up and volume down keys and power the phone.
when you come to the menu choices, select option 1, and press the camera shutter button.
this will emergency factory reset your phone.
good luck
ty for segestion tried it when was supposed to be 2.2 but no luck but omg i got the 1.6 to work yay
so what steps as in updates do i have to do ie build numbers
also found to get in to fastboot press power buton till you see touch buttons light up then cam buton and hold both works after a lot of swearing lol
now installing build 2.1 8015 with right stock recovery file and it seems to be working fingers crossed lol
got 2.1 in and working but cant get clock work to work any idears?
You get a black screen? If so you have a wrong version of clockwork. Look for the "alt" version of clockwork, should do the trick.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Just wanna add this because I've seen this confuse people before...
After you flash Custom Recovery... your initial load is still the Stock recovery. You still have to select Option 2 from there in order for the CUSTOM Recovery to actually display on your Streak. Otherwise, you're probably where Kohawk says you are.
I suggest using Mistadsman's recovery. Works fine now with 1.4.6.

If you select option 2 and get taken to a black screen - you have the wrong version of clockwork installed. Get this one, flash it via fastboot like you did before and give that a try.
download the recovery.alt.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754563 and use that instead. Should fix the black screen issue.
it dose not seem to flash just come up with table of stuff no loading recovery stuff in fastboot on pc tryed all clockwork filesi thinck
andriod bootloader cannot start coad 10 in devices ? im well and truly lost now lol
Hello I have a us AT&T streak I updated it to the O2 2.1 when I first got it but decided I wanted to give dj steves 1.5.1 a try since it seems to be fairly stable at this point. I got as far as updating the baseband but when it rebooted it never got past the dell logo. I am incredibly concerned now because I can not get it to do anything, I can not get into fastboot or recovery mode it just stays on the dell logo no matter what I do. Is there any hope, has anyone else run into this problem, or had any experience with trying to return or exchange a bricked streak?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

if you can see dell logo you are not bricked. you need to pull battery, reboot into fastboot (power on and then hold camera button before dell logo) and flash clockwork recovery. Reboot into recovery (hold vol+ and vol - then power on) select option 2 and flash update.zip. if that fails head over to irc freenode #dellstreak
Hi guys,
I recently tried to flash a rom on my phone and when the process was done, all I got was a black screen.
Fastboot still works and I can flash euro roms like on the tutorias fine but the phone simply wont boot.
I can go into emergency mode to flash in it in KDZ, the flashing works fine but still, the phone only displays a black screen.
When I press the power button it vibrates, the PC recognizes the device fine, so I know the phone isnt bricked, I just cant get it to display anything on the screen! please help!
Which rom did you try ?
Using swiftdroid RC4 2.0, but I found out what the problem was. Since on flashboot factory reset was in German, "reset und wipe" or something like that, I did not check it. Reflashed it and it is now working, the only problem is taht tehre are no boot animations whatsoever. only a black screen between pressing the button and going into android. any fix for that?
thank you for the replies!
EDIT: Also, by going into reboot > Recovery, nothing is displayed. this only happens on boot. I flashed originally with Euro+fast.kdz, and that is when this problem begun.
Flash this boot.img
and for the recovery, ace you installed??
I installed CWM for recovery, if that is what you asked.
Going to try to flash it and let you know, hope it does break anything
EDIT: nothing. No boot images. Going to leave it alone until I need it for something. I use an X10 mini, I just bought this phone for testing. Not liking the resistive screen!
you tried to flash an X10 with Rc4 ?
No, I have an X10 which is my default phone, I boght this optimus for testing, I flashed RC4 on the optimus, not the mini. not that stupid
You're not the only one with this problem, this will fix it.

So here is my sadness. i got my Zenfone2 back Z00A (ME551L) from having the screen repaired from asus themself. it was sluggish so i factory reset and it corrupted. i tried to flash the stock ram but then it went to hell. long story short i ended up wiht the White USB screen which means hard brick(correct if im wroong). i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256 to try and get it back to normal. the 1st time it flashed it worked in the Downloader (FW+OS complete). But when using Flash tools it hung up on the yellow flash button. I have no clue what happend. I try to start from the beggining but it wont complete like it did at 1st. So im stuck with the 4 color boot to fastboot. Wont connect to ADB so i cant sideload or recover from ADB in recovery. any help plz. i just miss my zenfone 2 ahha.
so in recap:
It wont flash fully in Flashtools 1.14.
Wont FW+OS complete in the downloader tool(only FW finishes)
No recovery mode options like it disappeared
When i let it boot normal it says updating with the android guy for 30 seconds then goes to dead guy with error.
plz any help would be outstanding and helpful
