I just rooted my streak as normal and now it will not boot.
When I turn it on, it just displays ''dell'' but stays there forever.
I flashed it before and it was fine but now it is stuck.
Any way I can fix this?
i am no expert, but you'll have to give a lot more information than that
16.?
2.1 ?
versions
how did you flash?
how did you root?
to "fix" your Streak, reverting back to the Update.pkg should get you back working

2.1
Build 6267
How can I flash it when there is no superboot 6267 version yet?
Basically What happened is I upgraded my streak from 1.6 to 2.1
I downloaded root explorer but it would NOT work as my streak was not rooted.
I then rooted my streak using superboot but it was for the old version 3883.
The phone did not boot after this. I then tried superboot for build 4399, same thing the streak gets stuck on the dell logo.
I then looked for build 6267 which is what I have but it does not exist.
I wanted to root my streak with the new 2.1 version but it failed and ever since I'm stuck with the dell logo.
I know I can simply reinstall 2.1 but I will have to reinstall all my apps and set my phone up again.
Is there any way I can recover or somehow go back to the build of 6267 WITHOUT losing anything or reinstalling?
The last thing I want to do is reinstall 2.1 all over again...
I just reinstalled 2.1
Works fine now only I need to put all my apps back on as well as configure/setup all the settings...
I am noob in phone flashing. but after goin thru all sources online.. I tried flashing my Streak 5.
I tried rooting with "SuperOneClick2.2", but it was not detecting phone model or so.. So I tried Superboot... after android interface drivers installation.. phone was decteced in FASTBOOT mode and message in phone showed root installed.
After that, my phone is continually flashing the buttons & showing DELL's white logo on the black background.
All procedures were followed to the dot. However, as suggested in the post & elsewhere, I "factory-resetted" the device. Not worked. I then reverted back to the Android 2.2 "Update.pkg" I had in the sd card. Update was done as usual. But the phone just didn't get ON.
That was yesterday. Well today, all of a sudden, when I tried to on the phone, it started!!!!
But new problem, the phone is not rooted. Checked out with the Android emulator. Tried the whole procedure. Went through the same steps. Problem repeated. Solved. Again & again.. the phone refuses to be ROOTED!!!
What could be the problem?
First of all dont bump a year old thread,
secondly superboot will brick the streak as it's designed for a different rom,
thirdly use the guides on xda/wiki to reinstall with a update.pkg,
fourthly there's a guide halfway down the page currently in the dev section on how to root correctly
Use superone click
One click rooting methods are not infallible. The recommended way to root is to manually install StreakMod Recovery then Superuser.zip.
I am sorry if this is covered it other topics but after trying many different recovery images i guess im just over the issue
Story so far:
Baseband was GAUSB1A111100-EU
stock 1.6 streak
stupidly, i followed streaksmart.com/2010/11/how-to-get-official-android-22-update-on-dell-streak.html#more
This is where the fun began
tryed android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/314313/how-to-get-your-streak-back-to-factory-condition/#entry1355296
Using the following
~the the suggested pkg(that didnt have a pkg file in it!?)
~the mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A110100 renamed to Upgrade.pkg
When i run the upgrade, i do notice i have a different baseband (GAUSB1a110421). The Upgrade gives a FOTA model name mismatch.
i attempted to use Streak_104_4399_21.pkg renamed to update.pkg but the streak is now not reading the MicroSD card, it advises me to insert a card!
i loaded Stock recovery from android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/316229/19-aug-streak-2-1-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/
Every recovery image i have used loads but im back to square one.
After reading the sticky i kind of expect this to be either trolled or deleted but i have to take that risk
yay for a new error!!!
assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img". "boot")
error in /sdcard/update.pkg.dec
(status 7)
if you can get it into fastboot then you can flash the files from modaco again. in the right order and all 3 of them. maby some corruption took place on your sd-card.
android.modaco.com search function didnt help,
only 6267 builds i could find are O2 branded.

I am sorry if this has been asked before, but if you didn't have a clue about what you were about to do (which you obviously didn't) why didn't you just leave it alone
yes, it boots to the dell screen, the two lower buttons flash. then it resets and repeats.

as long as it talks to fastboot its not bricked , so it should be revivable somehow.
this kinda things happen often with new devices and it can be very usefull to help others with the same problems out of there misery.
I have the exact same issue! My Streak wont boot past the Dell logo
I was trying to upgrade to 2.2 (official) using the method posted by Steve over at Modaco but when it came to rebooting it just sits in the Dell logo
Ive tried doing it again and again and again...
Ive also tried a factory reset but this hasnt resolved it
Ive got a EU unlocked Streak bought directly from Dell
Baseband 00
Build 4399
As I can boot into fastboot im hoping theres still a chance I can recover it but need some guidance or a little push in the right direction

I always start from the 4399 o2 which is baseband 21.
Then go to 6267 baseband 00 snd then to the offiicial 2.2 package. Have you tried this route. Also when restoring the 4399 the script I use erases the boot system etc before flashing the recovery for the 4399...
Good luck. Dont give up ;-)

you can download modaco's official 2.2 upgrade rom files and push these with fastboot. this way avoiding hussle with different basebands/OS's
Just picked up an unlocked dell streak. I'm running 2.1, and when im going to about phone- system updates and it keeps saying no new software.
I checked dell's website and it says all unlocked devices should now have 2.2
and what is this about 309 devices and 318 devices and how do i check which version do i have?
can anyone help me get 2.2 on my streak?
Mate there are a lot of threads and walk troughs on the dell streak that will get you to 2.2 very easily
I would suggest you spend time reading as much as you can so first you understand how to upgrade and how to use the PC with fast boot
Knowledge is your Friend
You need to flash the 309 loader to your phone. You use fastboot to do so.
Then save 318 update.pkg to your sd card
Do a battery pull and hold both volume buttons to go to recover menu.. hit upgrade option 2 wait and your done.
I will post a link when I pop on my pc

Qdl gives you 305. From there you can go to the latest US release of 318. Check out streakdroid.com for info on using qdl to update your streak.

I recovered from the endless loop dell logo by going to the following and following the simple guide.
worked 1-2-3
318 Update install
Hey guys,
Im not new to flashing roms etc,
but this is the first time i have so much trouble with it.
I read the streak how to PDF and followed the instructions on installing superboot.
when i installed superboot, the phone reset itself, and when it turns on, the dell logo shows up and the "home and menu" led starts flashing on and off and the restarts again.
I tried following the instuctions on how to restore the phone, but none of it worked. i specifically followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
and when i try to flash the update.pkg, i get an error at the end about the boot bin or something like that.
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I heard something about a QDL tool i could use...not sure what that is and i couldnt find an exact answer searching the forums.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: found a guide on using the QDL tool, im going to try it now wish me luck lol
If u got yours from best buy u need to use QDL. Read carefully and just do as it says
thanks for the tip, it is indeed the best buy exclusive white one....running qdl as we speak
ok everything is good now!
i just need to figure out why when i try to install dj steves rom it gives me
"failed to verify signature"
ok so now i am having a hard time rooting the phone.
I am using the android 2.2 provided from QDL and am trying to root via universal androot which isnt working for me.
any other ways i can root?
note: im using a best buy dell streak
If you are updating to his 1.6 then you dont need to root it.
It it pre-rooted
thanks, I figured it out.
It turns out that the "how to pdf" (while an amazing guide) linked me to outdated versions of the the recovery which is why it would not work.
everything is working now,
running steves 1.6 and loving life. Thanks every one for your help!!!!!

Settings/about phone/system updates...?

Funny enough, my dad just got one too, and I'm pulling my hair out. The system update shows no updates. Downloaded the package separately, and it isn't working currently.
I'm probably going to have to steal it from him for an hour or two and QDL tool him up. Don't know what else to do. The "official" upgrade path isn't working.
You do not need the qdl tool to upgrade to 2.2 340, just go to the wiki page of xda forum for dell streak, there you can find everything you need to know abiut the streak. You can find there all the roms, recovery.img, basebands (amss.mbn). You just need to flash the 340 update.pkg over 1.6 by using 340 recovery.img

This is the latest AT&T Rom (Froyo) http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_340_14844_31.pkg
1. It needs to be renamed to update.pkg and copied to the root of your device's memory card.
2. Turn off your phone and restart it by pressing and holding volume up + down buttons and the power button.
3. This should take you to the recovery menu where you can select option 2 to do the software upgrade from a pkg file
# The camera button is used to select items in the menu
After upgrading the phone will do a factory reset and 5 or so minutes later you'll be up and running with Android 2.2 (Froyo)

ALso, if you TYPE IN the address for the 340.pkg and not just click on a link, it should download the update to your phone. Then just click on it from the notification bar. I found this out the hard way. Clicking a link gave an error. Typing in the address manually worked.
Also, YES, you can use the QDL tool. Then, download the recovery.img for 340, the .pkg, and then you can manually flash that way, too. Here's my experience:
