Ok so I flash the ROM using KDZ Updater = All well and good.
Now I follow your commands to enter this "fastboot business", I get the LG logo come up then it goes to a black screen... So I assumed it was in fastboot?? (not sure what fastboot is lol)
Then I got to windows command prompt I assume u mean? and type the command in pointing it to the android SDK tools folder?
Then I enter the command and it just stays on <Waiting for device> and thats as far as I get? hmm...
ALSO THE PHONE WAS PURCHASED FROM CARPHONE WAREHOUSE WHICH NO MATTER WHAT METHOD I TRY TO ROOT THE PHONE IT DOESNT HAVE IT! Dunno why??

Hi! if i already updated with Baltic V20D Official can i reflash with that one so that i can get Fastboot? ;o

Hi After updating .kdz using KDZ updater itreid to do fast boot (CAMERA+POWER)
it is not doing fast boot.. it is doing a normal boot

Nice tutorial for ROM update try it
h*tp://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540-optimus-gt540-modaco-com/323450/2-1-instructions-quarx-black-rom-full-insrtuctions-with-clockwork-recovery/

My steps.
Try wiping the phone before performing any rooting or flashing. z4Root Worked right out of the box for me. These were my steps:
Install z4Root
Perm Root
Powercycled
Downloaded SuperUser
Downloaded Terminal Emulator
Downloaded Rom Manager
Open SuperUser. ALLOW
Open Terminal Emulato. type SU. ALLOW
Open Rom Manager.
Flash ClockWork Recovery
Boot into Clockwork
Wipe phone.Wipe Dalvik.Wipe cache
Install rom.
Reboot.
Enjoy.

Please i need help c: i run 2.2.1 openswift and if i flash clockwork is my rom gone then?
i really don't want to flash with adb again The brick chance is to big :c

The answer is No, Because the recovery will be in different partition. so u will not loose your ROM if u flash with new recovery.img

Guys,how do I go from 2.2.1 to 2.1 I tried with kdz but I showed Arm 11 crash!!!!

Arm 11 crash
Last week i also got this error.. but don't worry
follow this u should be able to come out from this issue
1. Remove battery,SIM,Memory card from your phone
2. Connect you phone with your PC using USB cable
3. When its booting press Volume down and Power button until it shows download mode in the phone screen
4. Remove your USB cable from PC
5. Insert the battery
6. Now try to flash your phone using KDZ software update (use the ROM with fastboot)
if u don't hv ROM with fastboot download it from here http://www.mediafire.com/?4r5n1cj5v49151p
Always it is better to,
1. Unroot your phone before flashing with KDZ software ( i don't know why, but i got Arm 11 crash when i tried to flash with out unrooting)
2. Wait while updating if it stuck at call_fun upgrade or Change to Dload Mode
hope it helps

I can't do that it my Phone, my phone only vibrates whe i try to torn on.

how can I fastboot from 2.1 to 2.2 ?

Hi guys, I'm a newbie. I wanted to know, how can I flash my os from 2.1 to 2.2 .
The main problem is - I dont understand how does the fastboot works. there are img. files. What should I do with them ?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR USEFUL REPLIES!

do you have rom with fastboot?
do you have fastboot already installed to your pc ?
when yes ,then run these command on androidSDK :
Code:
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
fastboot.exe reboot
but when not :
you have install AndroidSDK and fastboot items and gt540 drivers.

how can I install fastboot rom ?
I read some information, got the links, but I dont understand how to get that rom on my phone.
I understood, that i will have to reflash my rom, cause I have 2.1B baltic, and there's no fastboot on it. Is there any chance that I can install fastboot seperatly?

Look when you reflash with another 2.1 you wont notice anythings changed. It keeps your data. When done just turn phone off then switch on with power and camera held together until a blank screen. Thats fastboot.
Plug phone in whilst on black screen then follow the fastboot instructions in 2nd post
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

Which rom do you suggest ?
And it would be very great, if you would link the download. Cause I don't wanna **** up system.

I installed a fastboot ROM, then installed the openswift 2.2 ROM last night, and fastboot mode was hold volume up + search while powering on on my gt540f. Camera went into download mode for me.

[Q] Stuck in Dell "Energy Star" Screen - Bios Screen

So..I tried to go from 1.5.3 to 1.6.1....and have failed....miserably. I am getting to the funky "Energy Star" screen....the then shows an ASCII version of the Android robot and then freezes. Sometimes it freezes in other areas...but for some reason, it appears that I am being thrown around in that setup screen....
The Good News:
I can still get to ClockworkMod Recovery
I can still fastboot.
Any suggestions on how I can get my Streak back up and running...I am ready to go to factory default if it will get me out of this viscious cycle...but I need some guidance here....there is a $20 PayPal gift to anyone who can help me out!!!
Thanks,
Chris

Can you install 1.5.1 using clockwork, do a factory reset after booting 1.5.1 once and then install 1.61? streakdroid.com won't load for me right now or I would post a link, but see the 1.6.1 install guide there.
Edit: clear the cache before installing 1.6.1

install 1.5.3 then 1.6.1 i had same problem make sure you was on 2.2 froyo stock first if not install this the n 1.5.3 then 1.6.1

**Update**
Marvin -
Would I enter the following command?
fastboot -i 0x413c update update-1.5.1.zip

I wasn't suggesting you use fastboot, I was suggesting you use Clockwork. Your first post says you can still get to recovery.
Follow this guide
Here's an abbreviated version:
Download streakdroid 1.5.1 from downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve if you do not already have it,
Flash this to your streak using clockwork/streakmod
Factory reset using the dell screen (4 option menu)
Let device boot up completely
Now:
Download Update-1.6.1.zip from the links below
Place Zip file into Root of SD Card
Make a text file and type in the options you would like to chose as shown above.
Save file under SDCard>install.txt
Boot into StreakMod or Clockwork Recovery
Select Update from Zip File > Select Zip File From SD Card > StreakDroid_1-6.Zip
Wait for installation.
First Boot may take longer than a normal boot. Things are being installed, stuff is being generated. Patience.
Enjoy.
I recommend that you wipe the cache before you install 1.6.1 (it's in the recovery menu)

Downloaded 1.5.1
All - I have downloaded 1.5.1 and tried to flash it using the following command:
fastboot -i 0x413c update update-1.5.3.zip
When I do this, I get the following error:
archive does not contain "android-info.txt"
archive does not contain "android-product.txt"
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
Also - QDL Tool...I have been looking on the forums and can't seem to find a place to download this tool...can someone point me the right direction for this file?

Moving to General

Getting There Marvin...
Marvin,
I downloaded streakdroid 1.5.1 no problem...
The problem is, how do I get that file to my phone so that I can use clockwork???
This is really where I am stuck. If I get get the .zip file over to the phone, I will use clockwork...any assistance here on the command to move the .zip from my computer to the phone would be REALLY appreciated...we are close...

Use a card reader to direct copy 1.5.1 and 1.6.1 over to SDCARD.
Fastboot is for flashing recovery, not the ROM. Use StreakMod recovery instead of Clockwork if you want working nAndroid backups.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
Read through everything here:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
marvin02 is dead on with install instructions. So to recap: you DO NOT enter fastboot -i 0x413c update update-1.5.3.zip. You use fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Then you boot into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING, INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD (1.5.1), reboot to recovery, WIPE EVERYTHING ( Factory Reset,Cache, Dalvik), Install ZIP from SDCARD (1.6.1 with the CFG file already in place) and then wait on first boot. It will appear to hang on "Initializing" BIOS screen for at least 10 - 15 minutes to build cache and perfmod.
Or, QDL Tool to pre-release Froyo 2.2 http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=8

I was stuck at the same damn thing while updating to staves 1.6.1
All I did was boot in streakrecovery. Clear David cache. Flashed stock recovery, that 913 thing. Updated to 318 package.from dell and got my device boot into stock froyo.
Do not worry. Its scary but you sure can get that thing back.

Getting Closer (at least I thought)
So...I was able to get into 1.5.1 for a little while (like...20 minutes before I fuasdfhsfaked it up again). I was at StreakDroid's "Step 3"...doing a factory reset...
NOW...my dell streak is stuck in a loop, it displays this for about 10 seconds:
Factory Reset start, please wait . . .
then BRIEFLY says:
Please wait for reboot
Then it loops over and over and over and over again...until I ultimately take out the battery...anyone run into this issue???!
Man...I am loosing it...maybe flashing isn't my cup of tea....
Any help would be appreciated.
By the way....I have already tried to simply re-install the 1.5.1 and also tried to do another factory reset...it is STUCK.

dinohaven,
Are you using Streakmod recovery or Clockwork?
Try flashing the Streakmod recovery if you're using Clockwork.
Boot into recovery and clear the cache partition
Now select advanced and then wipe the Dalvik cache
reinstall 1.51 and see if it will boot. (use the back key to get out of advanced)
If 1.5.1 boots then go back into recovery and do a factory reset
Now you are ready to install 1.6.1
The advanced menu in recovery is where you can mount the SD card via usb so that you can copy files from your computer if you need to.

**Update&**
Marvin -
I am using the Streakmod recovery....I switched recovery modes to get 1.5.1 install on the SD. I went through each of your steps...and it STILL brings up that never ending loop....it is truly stuck in reboot mode for some reason....It says it is going to factory reset...then restarts and then goes back to saying that it is factory resetting....a never ending loop...

dinohaven,
My only recommendation at this point would be to go to streakdroid.com and watch the QDLTool tutorial and use that. I believe the DL at streakdroid gets your phone to 2.2 baseband 305. You should be able to install 1.6..1 from there.
I have never used the QDLTool.

Yea...
Yea..that is the direction I look to be heading...I tried to install everything on my Vista 64 machine and then discovered that it isn't friendly to that machine!!! So I am having to set everything up on an XP machine...man, I hope this works! I will post the result tonight...

it happened to me also and i went so mad that i even thought about selling my streak for 1/4th price in the grey market but good sense prevailed and i decided to do some more researching (QDL tool was too much info). what i did was that i flashed the new stock recovery(this is very important as there was some problem with the old recovery if the device was rooted and cwm recovery installed) (i dont remember the name or post where i downloaded it from) and installed the stock froyo update pkg from sd card.

root my dell streak, not shure

Hello, I'm Luis, and i'm newbie here i have bought about 4 months my streak.
Also installed one firewall for some programs don't use 3G connections and only use wifi. that firewall requires root acess.
By your tutorial in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak/Flashing_Guide#Rooting_your_phone
and by your tutorial boot recovery mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...g_Guide#Flashing_an_update.zip_with_streakmod
when i press to update from sd card, appears the follwing message:
"Press shutter button to start emergency recovery software"
"Warning: all data will be erase"
"Press volume up to turn off"
What you can tell me about second line "all data will be erase"?
Thanks

I'm betting I know what happened here. After flashing the custom recovery with fastboot, you let your phone reboot didn't you? If you are on a stock rom, flash a custom recovery, and let the phone reboot, the stock rom will rewrite the recovery with the stock recovery.
After flashing the custom recovery, pull the battery. Now replace the battery and power up while holding both volume buttons. When you choose option 2, it will boot into streakmod recovery, where you can flash the superuser.zip file.
Thought I should add:
After rooting, use a root enable file manager (search the market, there are lots of them. I prefer Root Explorer, but it is not free) to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Now, since you had to boot with your stock rom, your custom recovery is gone. But you can flash it again and it will stay.

hmm, but i never flash it. Its the original rom, only thing i have done, is OTA upgrade to Froyo..
how can i install a costum recovery?
sorry, but e never dit it before..
=== EDIT ===
you mean install StreakMod Recovery, don't you?
thanks

Welk if you havent flashed it, then thats your problem. You have to flash a custom recovery. And yes, I mean Streakmod. Read those tutorials. They will tell you what you need to know.

Okay, i will try...
sorry, when they say: "Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img"
Its suppose to do this from the phone (but in fastboot, there is olny numbers, no other leters or simbols), so its to do on the computer with usb cable plugged?
What software for flashboot?
thanks

There is a detailed tutorial at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak
Just go thru it. Make sure you read it again and again.
It is not from mobile. You have to connect your streak to PC. Switch that on by pressing the volume + - button and you get to see the driver installation.
You need to install the drivers first on PC.
Then you need to download the fastboot tools (above link contains all)
Open command prompt from fastboot file location
copy the rom/image (what ever you want to flash) to that location
Do the fastboot
I am not going in to detail as the wiki gives much better instructions !
Read... Read and Read !!!

[Q] Atrix stays on Motorolla Boot screen after attempting to flash rom

I was attempting to get ICS running on my Bell Atrix 4G and seem to have screwed it up. Here was everything I did:
1. Rooted it
2. Unlocked the bootloader
3. Attempted to run CWM, I used the free app but everytime I tried to backup current ROM it would boot like nothing happened. When I tried getting into Android Recovery mode to see it, I always got the Android guy with the exclamation mark.
4. Got the latest system.img from jokersax's page
5. Used fastboot (instead of moto-fastboot since I could not get moto-fastboot to work) and ran:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
6. I got "sending system" and "writing system" both OKAY on my cmd terminal, on the device some things were written underneath FASTBOOT, but nothing happened after a while, so I removed the battery and tried to restart.
And now I'm stuck on the Motorolla start screen with nothing happening. The options still work (Android Recover - which goes to the error screen, Fastboot, etc...).
What is the best approach to at the least restore my device?

Go into fast boot recovery and follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16365625
Once you have recovery installed then you can install a rom. Saw you on cm9 thread so I'm assuming you want to install that. Wipe and then flash the rom twice without any wipe in between. Lastly install gapps v11
