dell streak locked on dell logo help - Streak 5 General

after trying to do upgades to my streak its locked on the dell logo i have started it 20 times,i put the battery cover on while holding the power button nothing works,i tried all the recovery programs none of them work i tried the factory reset no luck, so now i cant even connect with the usb micro sd card to try something else what can i do please help

how I fixed mine
1. pull battery
1a. if you can't sync with PC, then while you have battery out, remove the SD card, put it into a reader and then...
2. copy the file to the SD card and rename it Update.pkg (make sure to capitalize the U)
2a. once the file is copied to the SD card, put it back into the streak, and replace the battery and cover
3. press and hold volume up and down keys together and reboot the streak
4. select option one to start an emergency restore from the SD card.
5. let it go through it's motions.
this should get you fixed up.

so you are saying to take the sd card out of the phone and put it in a sd card reader

come on guys need more help do i take the sd card out and put it into a reader or is there another way to sync

no like he says should work
you have to copy the file over to the sd-card from a pc or something else that will do the job. and dont forget to rename it to Update.pkg

can i get the dell 1.6 software from someware

Found a solution!!!!
Anyone having problems updating to Froyo (2.2) on their Streak, I was in the same boat. The Dell logo would only show. I attempting to flash from recovery & all. I gave up, requested a replacement from Dell and they sent it. Before I received the replacement I found this and it worked. Follow these instructions, and I see no way you can fail. This will change Baseband & give you stock Dell Froyo.

This is a new one: The phone is saying my SD card is removed

But it's not. LOL. Any ideas?
try taking out the battery, popping up the sd card "tab" and reseat the SD card to ensure it's touching all contacts, then firmly press the tab back down, replace the battery and give it a shot!
good luck!

Did they twice. I even stuck it in in my sd card reader any my laptop to read it. Is there an ADB command I need to use? I rooted it using Toast's method.
did you flash a new rom after toasts method? i went to OMJ's eclair v1.2 and had no memory card issues
When I went to change to a faster sd, it didn't recognoze it. I could put the sd in a usb sd-reader and it was valid. The EVO said "damaged sd" at boot. There is probably a check-sum or a stored directory block address some where in NAND. I think I needed to dismount the sd card, then remount it after boot. Be right back.
So I dismounted the SD placed the new one in and it was still "damaged". Asked if I wanted to reformat the card. Upon reformating it's good. So a "damaged sd card" is simply unreadable.
loading data now. All except "LOST.DIR" which was on the reformatted sd, so it could be bad block file.
Ok it works, lesson, always dismount the sd, don't alter "LOST.DIR" duh!!!
mine did the same thing randomly one day. i've always used the stock card that came with the phone and one day it just started telling me my card was bad. i started worrying it was that "htc bug" that hit some people, but i just turned off the phone, powered it back on and all was good to go
There is a fix for the sdcard not being detected problem floating around here:
Calkulin said:
Fix SD
Press & hold vol down and power on the phone
Select fastboot by pressing the power button
Make sure in device manager the driver is installed(Win 7 x64 downloaded them automatically)
Open command prompt like you would to use ADB and type
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
That should fix your SD card not being detected.

I always get that error.. it still accesses sd card though.
Are you pressing the camera button firmly enough to select?....
You could always fastboot it to 2.2 (some other thread has the files needed).

I would try flashing back to 1.6 and see if you can access sd card then, have you tried a different card? If you kbow someone else with an android phone pop your sd card in theirs and see if it works... you could also copy important files and try formatting it? Let us know how you get on?

Stuck on Stick Together Screen

Hey Guys, Im new to the HTC HD2.
I got this phone from a guy at my shop. The previous computer guy did this to the phone and he said if i fixed it i could either buy it or sell it. I am sorry i do not have much information or the specifics to what exactley happened but i do have two pictures that i am including.
I have tried hard and soft reset. Also i have tried to restore to factory settings. I have a 4 gb sd card if needed. The phone is stuck at the stick together screen.Also there is no Serial when i am in the tri color boot screen. Also the phone will not connect via activesync nor will it sense it at all. The computer i am doing all of this work on is a 32bit xp os.
Any help or information would be appreciated.
The Phone is already HSPLed, but the issue you say you cannot establish a connection with PC, did you try the SD Card Flash method? That is by placing your Stock ROM NBH in the SD Card and flash it from there? Just check the General Forum, you will find the step-by-step procedure there.
So your saying do something like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11097380
And also i do not know all the phone terms. The last time i was here was back in 08 when i had my htc fuze. If you would please direct me in a specific way.

No that link you posted is to instal Android on the HD2. Seeing as you do not know the history of the HD2 youcshould go back to stock first. Go the links I post below and follow my instructions. Go to this link to get your ROM. Look under batterry for IMEI number, ROM downloadclink in step 4.
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml
Right click on the file you download and rename it from a .exe file to a .zip file. Then right click it again and select view/explore which ever one you see and find the.RUU_signed.nbh file and copy it to a micro SD card of 8 gig and under formatted Fat 32. Once it is on the micro SD card rename the file to LEOIMG.nbh and then put the micro SD card in the HD2. Boot the HD2 into bootloader and when you see searching on the screen of the HD2 and let go of the volume down button and it should ask you of you want to flash the image, press the end button to comfirm and the ROM will flash. Be advised though this will remove HSPL from the HD2.
Here is a link to the flashing by SD card thread.

Bad internal SD card, I need help to replace it :)

Hello all, I need your help. I'm using dell Streak 5. The phone factory resets by itself, I know that the problem is bad internal SD card, I have some skills for opening phones, and replacing internal parts, so this is no problem for me, but still I need your help. I have several questions:
-Can I put micro SD 2GB or 4GB(I know this is maximum, do not want to edit system files tu accept bigger card) Class 4?....becorse I live in small country, I can't find SD card's with bigger class.
-Which class is the original internal SD card from 2GB?
-And the must imortant question, after replacing the new and formated(in FAT32 I thing) micro SD card need something special to do, or just need to do factory resset and wait for the phone to create partitions on the micro sd card? I am asking this question because my phone is running on latest official Froyo ROM 2.2.2. Is it necessary to instal custom rom, or I can be able to change the inner SD card running on official Froyo, with only factory resset? The data on internal sd card is not important to me, I do not need a back up, I just want my phone to accept the new card, becorse I spent 400 euros for my beloved phone. Thank you very much!
You need to search. This has been covered.
I will tell you that the internal sd card is not formatted fat32 as it is used in the phone.

Ok Thank you, I will replace my new internal sd card without formatting. I was searching everywhere and can't find someone that was replacing internal sd card on phone running on official 2.2.2 Froyo :S. I was found that on Streak with StreakDroid 1.9 Custom RoM is only necessary to do factory resset after replacing the new sd. I don't know if this procedure 'll work on my Streak with Official 2.2.2 ROM. So, can someone ansver me? Thanks .
Maybe Marvin02 or TheManii or someone more knowledgeable can step in but as long as you use a 2GB card, you'll be good with the stock ROM.
BUT this is the part Im not sure of, if you swap out for a 4GB card, then you do need to have installed StreakMod and StreakDroid, this is from personal experience. I changed mine out and had StreakDroid 1.9.0 installed. When I powered the phone up, it did all the work, I just had to wait.
Not sure if the same is true using a 4GB or larger card with stock ROM or any of the other custom ROMs

Hi, I've replaced my original internal 2GB microSD class 2 to 4GB class 10 without any problem (i think Dell Streak will accept any class).
* Download 'QDLTool3rd_20101022_GAUSB1A130500' and unzip to folder on desktop (google 'QDLTool3rd_20101022_GAUSB1A130500').
* Power Dell Streak on the first time with inserted 4GB internal microsd card and wait until auto format is done and display error message come on.
* Power off Dell Streak by remove the battery and re-insert it back after 5 seconds.
* Plug-in USB Data cable into your computer
* Press and hold the volume up button then insert Data cable into the Dell Streak.
* Goto your QDLTool3rd folder on your desktop and execute QDLTool.exe file and select RUN option (should you get driver error then Google search, install and start again).
* On completion your Dell streak will boot into android 2.2 with old Baseband.
From here you can update latest Baseband and flash Steven 1.9 or 1.91 or in my case Simple Streak 1.3 Beta4.
Should you require help PM me. Also check out my previous post for photo of my Dell streak with inserted 4GB microSD, working.

This mean that original internal sd card is only class2?.....I will change it with another 2GB Class 4 micro sd card. So I must run qdl tool?....is it possible to brick my Streak with this software? Thank you very much, if I need help I 'll PM you my friend. Thanks a lot.
This is the problem with not searching for and reading the existing threads on this topic. You are getting replies from just one or two people and not the benefit of previous longer discussions.
Here are some links:
Hardware Hacking the Streak – thread at MoDaCo, main focus is replacing the internal SD Card with a faster, larger card
How-to Increase streak storage up to 62 GB – an extension/continuation of the hardware hacking thread at MoDaCo
Changing Internal SD - thread here at XDA
While I have not done this replacement I would not recommend using the QDLTool as a first attempt.

Yes, the internal 2GB microSD is class 2 (mine is anyway). I can only tell you that I've ran QDLTool many times over and not yet does my Dell Streak Brick beyond repair (IMO, it's very hard to brick the Dell Streak unless it's hardware damaged). I've messed up my Dell Streak many times, including no power dead, no fast boot, no recovery and no response at all to any button being pressed, and so I though until I was able to recovered using QDLTool and fixed it every time.
FYi, I've removed 4GB microSD card from my Dell Streak and re-inserted the original 2GB microSd back and the Dell Streak boot up fine.
Please understand that this is my past experienced and results, in no way am I saying that the same result will be for your device.
I share my experience 2 days ago, I changed my internal microSD to a Kingston class 10 8GB card, the smallest I can find.
I did a full nandroid backup before removing anything.
Change the cards, power up and 2 partitions are automatically created, mounted at /cache and /data.
Boot to recovery and restored nandroid backup, all is well running Steve's rom 1.91.
I have a similar problem with my streak that I have just got, that it is stuck at the dell logo. When I try to run an update or factory reset it only goes half way through, and says error with e: cache.
I have done qdl but this doesn't work, tried different updates, roms etc with no success. I went onto the fastboot menu and did the engineering codes which seemed to imply a internal memory card fault.
So, my question is, if I replace the internal SD card, will this solve the problem?
I have searched various threads but cannot seem to see the correct solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

My friend be strong and take a leap of faith. Since there is no available answer to your problem and your Dell is not working anyway, why not replace your internal microSD and then follow the method in my previous post and see (start with a 2GB or 4GB first).

I think that if you replace the internal sd card it going to solve your problem. I'm still reading for this problem on Streak, and this seems to be a common problem for Streaks . Please find on google how to dissasamble your Streak is not hard, but be careful there is flax cable under tach panel! My Streak now is working fine after Factoruy ressets and clearing dalve catches on internal sd card.....so I do not know what to do now to change the card or not....

When you used qdl tool....are you sure you had the update.pkg and the matching bb ams file in the same folder as qdl....and the same update.pkg on your sd card.....and no other update.pkg or mbss bb in the folder/sd card except one set
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
I am not an expert on the QDLTool but looking at the version that was available as 'repairtool' on StreakDroid there is no update.pkg in the zip file for that. I am no expert and have only used the versions of qdltool available from StreakDroid.
Also there is a thread in the dev section that indicates that the qdltool is married to a specific set of files unless you modify the code directly. This would mean to me that unless you make modifications to the code any files that did not come with the version of the tool you are using will not be used. Whether having additional files on the sd card or in the folder on your computer where qdltool resides will cause an issue I do not know.
im not an expert in the qdl either....but i remember when i first used it i had to download the update.pkg separetly and put it on sd card....i put a copy in the qdl folder along with the amss/bb file;this was back when the 305 rom came out,so from what i figuered,was the qdl tool is just pushing a factory restore...thats complete(not like just running a fr from streakdroid).....but it uses what ever update.pkg that you put on it.....it doesnt have a built in rom

[SOLVED] Bricked U8800

Hi,
I did some wrong wipe using CWM, then I think my phone is clean now.
Now, if I press Power+ VolumeUp + VolumeDown buttons, I'll get to the pink screen.
Trying to connect to the PC thru USB cable, I'll get a Removable disk named "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM", with size of 239MB.
I tried to copy all 5 files downloaded from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370960 to /image/, or /cust/image/, or /cust_backup/image/ and the UPDATE.APP (from step 2, official 2.3.5 package) in /dload/ folder of a blank SDcard, but it still goes to the pink screen.
Any hint for me? I cannot download the official 2.2.1 package
Thanks a lot!
-- Edited --
I re-partitioned my phone before following this guide: http://android.modaco.com/topic/341374-custom-you-data-partitions-size/
My phone is the GSM version, not the CDMA (C8800) one.
I think my /system/ dir is also empty. Does it have anything to do with the upgrade?
Following this post I'm able to have CWM4 and Oxygen back.

I tried with the external sdcard. My card is 4GB, FAT32. Should that be the cause of this issue?
I also tried with the internal sdcard (/HWuserdata/dload/UPDATE.APP) but the result was same.
Is there anycase that my UPDATE.APP is corrupted? Could you please help check it's checksum?
Thanks!
============= UPDATE ===============
I tried with the internal sdcard ONLY (remove the external card), and it's working. Firmware update Step 2/2 - ~35% now.
THANK YOU A LOT!
Friend Averell I had the same problem. I solved it this way:
When the phone was off (black screen) after the "Step 2" update,
I pushed the Vol-Down key (not the Vol-up) and then the power button.
After this I left the power button, but I kept pressing the Vol-down for at least 10-20'', until a screen was shown which told me "Formating User Data, Formating Cache" etc.
After all these the phone booted ok and the stock ROM was activated.
I didn't even needed to apply the "Step 3" of the upgrade.
Try it and I am sure your problem will be solved.

I meant the internal 2Gb memory of the phone. Sounds still weird tho. Unless your sdcard has some exotic file system that the phone can't deal with (mine has fat32 and everything went well), I don't know what it could be. Maybe some wiser person could step up here. And check that you didn't use capital letters for your dload folder...Don't know if that really matters, but it could...
Thank all.
The problem seems to be at my 4GB SD card. I flashed 2.3.5 successfully with the internal card.
I tried another 2GB card, and it also work.
Thanks!
yesterday, i managed to update oxygen 2.3.2 r1 to huawei's official 2.3.5 with my 8GB Kingston card, and everything went well, but today when i tried to shoot video, camera stopped after 6 seconds, and phone said that sd card is removed, and i tried to restart phone, took sd card off from phone and formatted card in PC, but nothing worked, then i put another 2GB card in phone and everything is working again??!? weird.. maybe my kingston's warranty just voided last night. It's so typical to me.

You could just try re-formatting the 8Gb card and see if it works. I've ended up cleaning up the whole sdcard for a few times (I've usually had a small ext2 partion and wanted to start from the clean table) after which everything has been back to normal again (in windows cmd: diskpart --> list disk --> choose Disk "your sdcard" --> clean all --> create new partion and format the card) ..or you probably could do that in CWM recovery too...I'm just too used to do it this way...just beware if you try this, be SURE you choose the right disk or you'll end up deleting a whole partion from your computer's hard drive.

thanks, i will try that method.
ok, cleaned whole sd card and re-partitioned it and formatted, but no luck. Still when i try to take picture or video it wont let me to do that. It does still make android and DCIM folders etc. to card... and i can copy files to card with computer. but only with external card reader, not in phone.

Too bad. But it's hard to believe that your SD card has something wrong in it since it works in your computer. Probably another unexplained weird software glitch again. Some people reported that they can access the sdcard but not being able to write on it, maybe this "bug" is in the same category.
Btw, have you tried any other ROM and if the problem still exist there?

ok, i tried card to nokia phone, and it works in there.. also it has been in huawei since beginning, so it has worked with official 2.2, B160 custom rom and with oxygen latest. But now when i changed to new beta 2.3 rom, it worked about a day. Maybe i have to wait one more month until final rom is released. Thanks sbasil for good advices.
