First up I'd like to point out that I'm fairly happy with what's going on. I've put more custom images on my Hero than you can shake a stick at
That being said I cannot for the life of me get my Streak to take a new image. I'm praying that someone can figure out what I've screwed up and point me in the right direction :/
A couple of days ago I successfully installed Steve's 1.1.1. I immediately upgraded that to 1.2.0 with the amss update too. At this point my Streak stopped booting, getting stuck at the Dell Logo :/ I've tried for the past couple of days to fix my situation, trying just about everything I can find on the site but nothing got me booting again.
So I went back to the 1.6 nandroid backup I'd made
However now when the Streak boots into 1.6 I have a couple of issues:
1) The Home and Menu icons flash/alternate occasionally.
2) I'm getting No Service AND my baseband is reported as unknown :/
The full details 1.6 reports are:
Baseband Version: Unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.29-perf
OEM version: GAUSB1A110700
Build number: 4399
As the Official 2.2 has been released I thought I'd try that. So following the guide I've applied it via fastboot but this just will not work either. I've tried 4 or 5 times now and after 15mins of sitting at the Dell logo I conclude it's failed.
Can anyone suggest anything I can try ? I'm guessing I've somehow screwed the combination of baseband and system image but I'm lost as to what I need to straighten it out :/
Ok, well after trying to recover what feels like a thousand different ways. I've managed to get an O2 1.6 image on, with an identifiable baseband version. I did this following the guide on modaco
So now I'm going to try for 2.2 again.

Hi
Unfortunately I've screwed up my Dell Streak when trying to update it. The baseband version is now set to 'unknown' and I'm a bit too scared to tinker further in case I completely ruin it.
I was previously on the following (attached image is current configuration):
UK O2 contract. 'Locked' to O2.
Firmware Version: 1.6
Baseband Version: GAUSB1A110421-EU
Build Number: 3883
I'm still able to Fastboot files on to it, and can copy files to the memory card. I've tried a few times to put it back to factory defaults, but with no success (doesn't seem to load Update.pkg from stock recovery menu, just goes to a black screen each time. Did previously have clockworkmod running on it).
Does anyone have any ideas how I should proceed as I'm now scared I'll brick it...
Thanks

I've since tried installing 'Official 2.2 Froyo Untouched' (hXXp://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/323561/official-2-2-froyo-untouched) and it now hangs at the dell logo.
I've also just tried the 'Fix for - 'Stuck on Dell logo after 2.1 update' (O2 only)' (hXXp://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/317263/fix-for-stuck-on-dell-logo-after-2-1-update-o2-only/) but it just hangs on a black screen when I run the update.pkg. Does anyone know how to get it working again?
Couple of questions: Samsung Fascinate
I previously installed a DJ05 rom and then odin'en back to stock and then did a factory reset three times. So i assume i am back to stock at this point.
My phone specks after Odin flash and factory reset now say:
Firmware version 2.1 update 1
Baseband version DJ05
Kernel version 2.6.29
Build number DH12
1. Are these the original verizon software specs that the phone came out of the box with or are some of these specs left over from the DJ05 rom ( since the basband version still says DJ05)?
2. I have tried doing the OTA update to DL01 or DL09 whichever it is, and it sucessfully downloads the software but when it tries to install it in recovery i see there is a red message generated after it tries to update the modem which i cant read because the text is moving so fast and then the phone reboots and generates and error message saying,
Update failed or incomplete.
Reason : IP Previous Upgrade Failed.
Just wondering would any of the specs that i listed above be the cause of the update failure?
Thanks for any input.
You go back to the stock radio too? Thats my only guess

Solution
I got it figured out so I am posting this so hopefully it might help someone.
The past 24 hours i have been trying to update to the OTA DL09 update with out any success.
I had previously rooted and installed different ROM's on multiple occassions and gone back to stock on multiple occassions using ODIN and these recovery files that i had downloaded from the forums.
As a result of all of this ROM installation/Recovery/ROM installation/Recovery over the past couple of months my Baseband version was changed to DJ05 and my Build was changed to DH12 which i think was creating the problem with the OTA update installation to DL09.
Solution:
Do a fresh install using Odin and flash the DL01package3.tar.tar which can be found in the fascinate Deveolpement forum then to the OTA update on your phone. This worked for me and i now have the DL09 version running. Hope this helps someone.
Hi guys
I need some quick help identifying what happened to my S4. It's not bricked by the way, it's just some weird debugging mode which became enabled.
I have just sold it on eBay, and therefore I performed a standard factory reset followed instantly by a standard ODIN flash of the official latest firmware to remove root (which is something I've done many times on this phone without an issue).
However this time, since I did it, everytime I turn the phone on, just before the standard Samsung Galaxy S4 logo appears, I get a strange flashing screen which displays some technical details on the phone (different to the one I used to have when running a custom kernel) which include: serial number, Knox status, power on reason, some CPU details and in particular, a line saying debug mode level: medium. I have never came across it so I tried removing the battery and re-flashing the software, neither of which have helped.
I would like to find out if anyone had come across this and if so, how could this be revered back as I need to ship the phone to the buyer.
Attached is the photo I managed to capture with my DSLR which shows more detail... Please help.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Please can someone take a look at this?

Go to recovery and make a factory reset, when the galaxy s4 logo shows up remove the battery immediately, wait 5 seconds then go to download mode and flash the firmware, after the device reboots make a factory reset again
Will try that, what I did so far is flashing the latest Black Edition rom which removed the issue and then flashing back the latest normal ROM and the issue came back straight away. It's like a weird bootloader it comes with.
I'm downloading an older ROM from March as this is the one I flashed a while ago and had no problems with.
Fixed it, just downloaded I9505XXUFNB8 which is from March and flashed it, then, updated over OTA. It's now on latest version without the weird bootscreen issue.
What's strange is that it was an official (latest) build downloaded from SamMobile and later downloaded again though SamFirm tool and both produced same behaviour yet upgrading to it though OTA did not cause the issue.
Thanks
Alright....
So I've gotten a new phone, and I intend on selling my AT&T GS5. Only problem with it is that it will not update. I had rooted it awhile back, I can't remember how I did (something rain comes to mind when I to remember). Anyways, I've factory reset it, and tried to load a complete stock rom onto it. It still won't update.... When I download the OTA update, it will begin to install and then at 28% it will say "Update failed" and then reboot the phone. Any help?
Model: SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
Android version: 4.4.2
Kernel Version 3.4.0-2178781
Build Number: KOT49H.G900AUCU2ANG3
As of right now the device is fully stock (freshly factory reset), even says "official".
Let me know what you need, thanks.
Make sure that your Build Number and Baseband Version match (last 3 being NG3)
Here's a similar post that I got that information from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914786
So a few months ago i tried unlocking and rooting my old zenfone 3, it failed horribly and now I'm left with a bricked device. Because its been a while I don't fully remember all the details, but I think I might have corrupted some part of the system and then did a full wipe/format which left me with nothing, at this point i might have found a system image with the very first firmware version and when i tried installing the latest firmware update from the Asus website, I realized that I would need to start flashing from the very first update to the final update. I tried looking for custom firmwares and they also needed an up to date original firmware.
And now i need to use the phone again but still can't figure it out, the phone is now just stuck on a bootloop. I don't really know what to do anymore. One thing I keep thinking is if there is a full system image of the up to date stock firmware, an image file that i could just flash onto the phone and have it running again. Though I haven't seen anything like that, so I don't think that exists or will work with this phone
Can someone please help me? this phone has been a brick for months and now I need some help recovering it
TL;DR Wiped the entire phone, lost the android system, and now I don't think I can use the phone unless I manually update the phone from the very first update to the last. I'm looking for if a full stock system image/backup with the latest (or atleast new-ish) version exists, though I'm very doubtful that this exists at this point
