hi
I have a streak and put the update on the sd root. I then hold volumes and power to get to recovery screen I choose second in the menue install update and it goes to clockwork 2.5 and that canot see the pkg file.
How do I get the mobile to use the file.
thanks for any help
Clockwork does not do pkg files, you need to install the recovery version that goes with the update.pkg file you want to install. This is done via fastboot. You will loose Clockwork recovery when you do this, but you can reinstall it after you do your rom upgrade.
The recovery files can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak#Official
Fastboot guide is in the forum somewhere if you need it.
Also you can go here http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/ download the update.zip of whatever build your attempting to flash, put that on your sd card, then in clockwork recovery, use the update with .zip option and it should do the same.
hi
thanks for the help
how do I know which update to use at present I have a muii 2.2.1
and would like to get it back to 2.2
regards
I think 318 (http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/318/) is the best 2.2 Retail Rom option otherwise 351 (http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/351/) for the latest 2.2.2 Retail Rom. I don't know what baseband you have or if the update.zip files install the required baseband when you flash it. If they don't you'll need the 00 baseband for the retail roms and that will require flashing the stock recovery first and running fastboot to install the baseband file (amss.mbn)

i have finally used an update zip and it loads fine but the screen says android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly is there something I have missed
thanks again
ok did a factory reset and it appears fine
Go back to recovery and do a Factory Reset from the first screen, not the one in Clockwork recovery. After that I would recommend going into the Clockwork recovery and clearing the Dalvik Cache and fixing permissions.

Hi
I have downloaded http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/354/update.zip and after that I power off the phone , hold down the Volume UP/DOWN button . Power on ...
And select the update.zip file....
Half way it stated that it FAIL ... and phone reboot ....
Did I do wrongly ?
The zip file could be corrupted. Maybe try re-downloading the file and retry.

have you named it "Update.pkg" or "update.pkg" coz the first will work and the second will not .
You will have to use capital U otherwise the phone will not recognise it
capitalization usually shoulnt matter, it works fine as 'update.pkg'

THIS IS FROM EAZYTERRYS
The real answer is if you have ICS, to install a custom recover or custom kernel you must have an unlocked bootloader.
The following resources are related to the new bootloader, a quick read of the OPs of the first two are highly recommended, even if you install with the third link. (This is to have a highlevel idea of what you are changing on your device, as it will help you find what you need to look closer at in future if something goes wrong, or possibly prevent a problem in the first case) bootloader thread civato's guide Afterota tool (windows users bootloader install tool)
If you already have the unlocked bootloader installed, but can't boot into recovery:
This is likely because you have a stock ICS rom overwritting recovery with the stock recovery in every boot; either use fastboot or (if you have root) a program such as acer recovery installer to force the install of a recovery and immediately reboot into it. (Most bootloader installers will also install a recovery that you can immediately boot into)
Once in recovery you can backup/restore/or install a rom modified to prevent the overwrite of recovery. (More advanced users can stop this from adb by removing some files)
Personally I use a lightly modified version of the stock rom you are using now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1661492
it ought to be safe to do a no wipe update to that and receive a more expected environment with a custom recovery, optional custom OC kernel, and busybox support.
However if you explore the dev section, many other (both more and less modified) versions of ICS roms exist. Themed and otherwise. So feel free to explore.

Hi
I have a major problem!
I was following a guide and downgreaded to 4.4.2 . Installed Root and Custom recovery.
Installed 4.4.4 according to the guide i cant find right now and everything was working as it should! I then installed all apps i need and also Xposed framework,Busybox and another all in one tool.
Now when i try to boot into recovery mode its gone!
How do i get recovery back in a easy way or do i need to redo the process again by downgrading ? How did i loose recovery so i can avoid it again?

you lost recovery by installing and updating busybox...as stated on this forum dozens of times you CAN'T UPDATE busybox if you're on NUT dual recovery... The fix is easy, just run the dual recovery installer in your pc and the recovery will be back. Busybox is included with the recovery, no need to install it. if you read the dual recovery known issues you would know this, just search next time... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43698321&postcount=2

http://nut.xperia-files.com/ --> download this file: Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.0-RELEASE.installer.zip (23.91MB)
Enable USB Debugging on your phone, make sure correct drivers are installed on pc, run the installer for the recovery and choose option 1. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperSU.
Make sure you autorize your pc on your phone screen if asked. I've reinstalled / updated recovery lots of times on several z2's and it never failed, as long as root is working the install should succeed...
Thank you!
yes well i had the files but it didnt work until i first installed the drivers from flashtool again. Also i installed the ADB drivers i the 4th options of this tool . Now its working. Thanks again!

That's because you have twrp installed, otas on every device won't install if you have a custom recovery. The only way I know to remove twrp is to reflash the rom with mi flash tool, or flash a twrp flashable stock rom without flashing the twrp installer.

I thought volume down + power enters fastboot mode. Volume up + power enters recovery. Anyways, if you dont have TWRP installed, then you have to reset your phone.

You probably made a mistake and made changes to the system partition. A common mistake is to start twrp and mount the partition as read/write. Even if you did not make any changes, the partition info will be changed and any OTA will fail from that point on.
