I recently upgraded my G1 to the cyanogenmod 2.1 ROM and everything went fine untill i went to the market and installed a program called ROM manager. while i was using ROM manager it had an option, i cant remember what its name was, that said it fixes FC's if needed. Well i was getting those in ROM manager so i clicked it. It did a bunch of stuff and then suddenly tossed an error at me. Next thing i know im getting LOTS of FC's and when i rebooted my phone im suddenly stuck staring at the G1 boot screen and thats where it stays......indefinetly.
I cant get into recovery mode, already tried that. And so far the only thing(that i know of) that i can do is get into fastboot. Does anyone know how i can fix this? Its gotta be software related from whatever that ROM Manager program did to my permissions. But now im basically bricked and cant do anything.
My storage card still has all of the ROM's and files from when i flashed last but i dont know if or how i can use that to re-flash my phone again and start over.
Any suggestions?
I had a similar issue just yesterday. Dowloaded rom manager from the marketplace - attempted to flash recovery - pulled an error and ended up on the G1 screen. Could not get into recovery, but fastboot was available.
I followed these instructions
( reboot holding camera button, connect usb and press back button )
on pc
HTML Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>where <recovery.img> is the full path to the recovery you want to flash
I had to do a full erase in fastboot - that is the first line of text above, I then flashed my recovery.img again - that is the second line of text above (I placed my recovery.img file directly in the adb folder - so it easy to find )
Once I was able to get back into recovery - I restored my last back-up, and the phone booted once again.
If you do not have any backups - I am not aware of the next step. Hopefully someone with more experience can direct you accordingly
Good luck
How is it that you send the commands? I plug in my USB, then hit back and it says FASTBOOT USB but how do i input the HTML codes to get it to do anything?
Do i make an HTML file on the pc and upload it, if so, how? I understand all of it except how to get the commands into it.
Well that and what the full path will be for the recovery.img.
well i feel like a total moron !!! lol
I had been being a script kiddie for the last few years and forgot my roots. I got it figured out and got the commands sent to fastboot in a CMD prompt.
Ugh, i gotta stop using google so much and finding all the easy ways out of things that others have already written.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated and worked a treat. I flashed everything and its working great again
Just got my streak yesterday, only had it a few hours and i've somehow managed to brick it already !
Started on the official 1.6, upgraded to official 2.2, rooted it, installed clockwork recovery. All was fine up until this point, i then went to install the performance fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848487 but after doing so my streak stopped booting, since then its just hanging at the dell logo.
First thing i tried was restoring to the default recovery rom by holding power + volume buttons and option 2. This didnt work so i then tried this http://android.modaco.com/content/d...2-1-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/ and still no luck.
I've been at it for hours and its late so im giving up for now, i just hope the xda community can help me out.
Edit: I should add that the recovery image (option 2) is going through fine without errors, its only that when it boots it hangs at the dell logo. Also, fastboot is working so hopefully its not completely bricked. Is there anything i can do ?
get qdl tool and see if u can get to 305 stock

After countless hours of going insane i have managed to get my streak working again using the o2 package (build 8105) found here http://android.modaco.com/content/d...2-1-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/
I couldnt get QDL to work for some reason so in the end i just downloaded the above package, copied to sd, renamed to update.pkg, powered on with volume buttons and chose option 2.
Its working now so thats the main thing, i was worried i might have bricked it for good ! Now i just need to get back to the official dell rom
If I wre doing this, I would get the multi_recovery tool. I would put the 351 package on your SD card
Flash the 351 recovery with the tool. Do not boot up go right into the recovery and point it to the 351 package. Make sure the 351 package has been renamed to the proper name. Either update.pkg or update.zip.
Worked like a champ for me.

Sorry but bug in but I'm having the same issue. I finally got QDL to work but after it finishes, the phone shows a screen with "Andriod system recovery utility
Press the shutter button to start emergency software recovery
Warning all data will be erased
Press the Volume up button to power off without recovering".
After I press shutter the it loads the update.pkg and then sits on the dell logo, and sits, and sits.
I'm now back on the official dell 2.2, in the end i had to flash the 351 recovery image to get the rom pkg to work.
I flashed the above recovery in fastboot mode since i cant get QDL to work, checked my drivers countless times, tried windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit, aswell as windows xp 32 bit. 64 bit always gives me the d14 error and 32 bit is the d2 error so i just cant understand why it wont work, surely it cant be a driver issue since fastboot works flawlessly and i've spent hours checking the driver now. Also i've followed the guide on streakdroid to the book so im pretty certain my setup is perfect.
Anyway, im happy with the official 2.2 for a while now but at some point i would like to try a custom rom through qdl, etc.

That's it? WHen I installed the recovery from your link, after it said recovery install done(something along those lines) the phone didn't restart like it has with my previous recovery installs. I waited a few minutes, pulled the battery, and restarted into recovery, hit update and it has been a blank screen since.
I think I'm out of luck. I had the phone plugged into the charger all night and I'm trying to flash it now and the battery is at 0%. Can't charge it or anything. Time to call dell.
Hey,
Has anyone here had problems unwalshing the Focus 1.4? I can't even get it into Connect To PC Mode. Not sure what to do.
Thanks,
Patrick Godwin
Hi,
Well, I didn't experience your current behavior but when I 'unWalshed' my Focus in May, I ran into an issue during the process where my phone was stuck in a reboot mode for 10 minutes. I unplugged, rebooted, and then the phone was fine. I had lost all my apps and the phone went back to factory mode. So I thought I had unWalshed it.
However, yesterday, I received the notificate of the 7932 update and when I went through the update process, my phone got stuck after step 6 of 10 - the reboot step. My phone was stuck on rebooot with the Samsung logo displayed. Then when I power down and back up, the ZUNE client said that there was an update error. So, my first inclination was that perhaps my unWalshing was not a success.
I would love to hear (good or bad) of the update to 7932 from an unWalshed device.
Thanks
Did u make any progress ? I'm stuck as well
I don't know the answer to this, but would flashing the OEM ROM to the phone put it back to Stock UnWalshed?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131022
I've flashed the OEM ROM a number of times with perfect results, I just don't know how Walshing affects it.

Hi,
I tried to upgrade from v2.1 to new Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread For LG Optimus GT540 and I followed instructions exactly, but I am stuck at number 8, I did this:
8- Now click “Launch software update”, DO NOT USE THE PC TO THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. THE PHONE WILL REBOOT WHEN FINISHED THE PROCESS IN KDZ. (The process takes about 15 minutes in KDZ).
and about 2 minutes text log writes and stopped, I am now waiting more then 40 minutes my phone didn't reboot. On display is still written download mode, what should I do now ?
In kdz is written:
3GQCT: wParam = 205. IParam = 36
p.s.
I disconnected phone from usb and pull out battery and now I cannot turn on phone, I tried to push vol down + power for 5 sec.
Any idea what should I do now? I hope I didn't brick my phone
What programs are you using?
What are you using to update your phone and have you tried taking out your SIM, SD card and battery then turned it on with the USB cable?
I used KDZ updater and tried to install CyanogenMod7 (2.3.5) @ GT540 Swiftdroid2 RC3 by Mur4ik. if that is what you ask ?
I removed sim card and battery also, then tried to turn it on while plugged in to computer usb but no response from phone, I can't turn it on
p.s. I am using win 7 64 bit OS

If you can't get into download mode, then it's game over I'm afraid. What you will need to do is return the phone back to where you bought it. This happened to me some time ago. But the Carphone Warehouse were happy to fix it (even though I had voided the warranty but don't tell them that ). Don't say that you tried to mod the phone, say something like 'I installed LG's PC Suite and it said my device had a software update. I went along with it, but it gave me an error half way through. Now my phone won't turn on at all' It might just work!
I had the same problem when modding with kdz.
completely bricked my phone, but was able to fix by putting kdz into emergency mode instead of diag and updating with a fastboot stock rom,
it would stop after 2 minutes and give me and error but it managed to get fastboot onto my phone,
(camera + power)
then just flashed the fastboot method with adb and everything was fine,
my problem was something to do with lg modem drivers i believe,
I read a thread that said to disable the lg virtual modem. (didnt
work for me)
pretty noob myself
but the above method worked for me,
not sure if this can do anymore damage to the phone
have a look at this is u get it into emegancy mode.
On the kdz updater instead of 3GQCT put into emergancy

If you have tried flashing with Cm7 you might be lucky,
try holding camera button and powering on the phone, a black screen should come up thats fastboot.
if that comes up u should be able to just reflash following mur4iks instruction
if not try what i said in my last post and reflsh with phone type 3QGCT and PhoneMode EMERGENCY
again only going of how i fixed my bricked phone

He was trying to flash a fastboot rom (to install CM7) but bricked his device in the process. So he can't flash CM7-.-
Yeah I know that but I mean when I got the error he has, I flashed with a stock 2.1 fastboot rom With Diag changed to EMERGENCY and was able to get on to fastboot mode (camera+power), I got the error again as i was flashing but the phone would load fastboot and not start up
If he can get lucky and get into fastboot like i did, a simple:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
should fix his problem or did i just get lucky?
sorry if im confusing thinks here, but this is how i fixed mine. which was also dead and not turning on

Well like i told you im a noob at this myself (Android phone flashing atleast)
I suppose it would be good to see if you got fastboot??
Power on the phone while holding camera button (hold the camera button until the screen goes black) if you can get fastboot you can just follow the fastboot flash instructions after fastboot -w
if not on kdz in the top right were it says DIAG, Change this to CS_EMERGENCY,Click Launch update and flash again with a stock fastboot rom
after THIS see if the phone loads or boot loops(had this once too) or loads fastboot
Il try look to find the thread i read on another forum for troubleshooting kdz it helped me alot
EDIT: http://android.modaco.com/topic/321895-faqgt540-reference-thread/ try some of the troubleshooting tips at the bottom of the O.P
I basicly aimed to get fastboot working so make sure your flashing with a stock FASTBOOT! rom

I bricked my phone and I tried it again after getting it back from lg
I'm new here and to having a Smartphone, I've just been given an LG Android GT540 which is at version 1.6. The LG site tells me I can upgrade to 2 something or other, sorry can't remember the exact number and gives instructions on how to do the upgrade, but I'm a bit on the cautious side as I don't want to brick it, not this early on in owning my first Smartphone.
I'll be reading a lot of the posts here to try and find out as much as I can before I attempt to do this.
Well don't worry if it's official update. But if you some how brick your phone just tell lg the update bricked your phone and we are talking about unofficial updates

I've got phone today from service (not official LG service), repairman just manage to wake up phone so I can turn it On, but when I turn it I get black screen with message on it ''download mode''. Now computer recognize phone when I plug it, and I tried to update or flash it with kdz updater but have no luck
I launch kdz in emergency mode, load rom with updater, press launch button, and process started, (get messages unpacking software etc.) but after 3-4 minutes I notice that computer is blocked I couldn't do anything with mouse pointer, and I waited 15 minutes but computer is still blocked, even time on computer is stopped. I tried this procedure few times, every time it is same. Also tried to disable lg virtual modem in device manager. Any idea what I could do ?
p.s. repairman in service told me that he tried it to flash it with riff box, process started but after few minutes if stopped and blocked his riff box
Hi guys
Let me start off by saying..I should have never attempted this myself.
I'm hoping somebody could please help me with my somewhat-bricked device..bricked in the sense that I don't know what to do with it. (i'm a noob to this). I've tried installing a custom rom and completely screwed up my dell streak 5.
So the phone doesn't boot anymore and just takes me to the option to install update.pkg off the sd card. I added the file along with recovery.img to the sd card.
360 17397 00 May 31, 2011 PKG Recovery Hash Latest Retail rom
My problem is that I cannot for whatever reason get Flashboot to work in order to flash the recovery.img first. under device manager you see android phone/android adb interface but still can't manage the connection to use cmd prompt/fastboot.
Is there any other way of getting the recovery.img to work without fastboot..maybe thru the sd card. I have no idea what i'm doing anymore. I've tried installing the update.pkg but after installation it just stays on the dell logo loading screen forever.
PLEASE help if you can.
Well lets start off to get you back on a stock rom, as it sounds like that would be the easiest at this point. We can move on to a custom rom from there.
The pkg file you downloaded....did you rename it update.pkg ?
If not, rename it update.pkg and make sure it is on the root of your sd card. Get to the recovery menu where you have the option of upgrading from update.pkg and choose it. In about 5 minutes, you'll have a clean stock rom.
I tried installing the 360 rom listed on http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
I did name it update.pkg
It went through the installation phase but on reboot it doesn't get past the Dell Logo loading screen. Any suggestions?
On the screen where you choose upgrade from update.pkg, choose factory reset and see if that helps
Tried both..unfortunately, same end.
Is flashing recovery a required step prior to doing this..because I was unable to do that.
Also, Thank you for taking an interest. I really appreciate it.
yes, you need to have the recovery for the rom you are flashing (at least when it comes to stock roms). My understanding is that the pkg file is encrypted and the recovery decrypts it.
I'm going to try to start from scratch here. I am also assuming you are using a Windows PC.
Download the drivers from Dell. Here's the link:
http://support.euro.dell.com/suppor...dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=433681
Install them and reboot your pc.
Download MultiRecoveryFlasher from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000455
Extract it to somewhere on you pc where you can find it.
Now this hasn't been updated to include 360's recovery, but that's ok. We don't have to run the utility. It's the support files that are included that we are going to use.
Download the recovery.img for 360 (which I think you have already done)
Put the recovery.img in the root folder of MultiRecoveryFlasher. There should be other files in there such as fastboot.exe, adb.exe, etc.
Power down your phone and restart it in fastboot mode (hold down camera and power button together until you get a white screen. When fastboot appears in upper right, select it and plug your phone into your pc)
Verify the phone displays fastboot ready
Open a command prompt on your PC
Type in the following command: fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Once that is done type in the following command: fastboot.exe reboot
Get ready to hold down the Volume + and - as soon as the screen goes black.
Now choose Upgrade from update.pkg
It should work now. If not, someone else may have to help you with another method such as QDL tool. I've never had to use that.
This is a screenshot of the problem i keep running into. i installed the drivers just as you said and am at the step with fastboot.
imgur [dot] com/gw2A0
Any advice? Thanks again
im an idiot.
i got fastboot to run and send over the recovery.img
currently installing the update.pkg but its still stuck at the Dell Logo screen upon reboot. No idea what is going on.
FIXED. You're a miracle worker. Thank you so much.
Only problem I have now is an irritating sequence of flashing buttons every now and then. Have you had a similar issue in the past?
THANK YOU so much again!
Are you on a stock rom still? Or have you moved on to a custom rom? Typically the flashing led's happen when you are running a rom with an "incompatible" baseband, but that should be pretty near impossible if you are running a rom installed from an update.pkg rather than an update.zip.
running the update pkg off the wiki site.
Only other problem I've noticed is that I can't get it to root. I've tried gingerbreak and superoneclick..both of which worked flawlessly in the past.
Baseband GAUSB1A134700-US
KERNEL 2.6.32.9-PERF
BUILD 17397
I really want another crack at getting streakdroid, but the phone just isn't budging. Tempted to flash/install another rom but worried as heck that this same incident is going to come up. (the flashing lights started after i updated the AMSS and DSP last night--my first attempt at installing streakdroid 2.3).
Installing the stock rom via the update.pkg file will overwrite the amss and dsp1. That's the biggest difference to the end user on update.pkg vs update.zip. It's the actual recommended way to install a baseband. There are several firmwares, besides amss and dsp1, that get installed with a pkg.
Now that you have MultiRecoveryFlasher on your pc, installed StreakMod (custom recovery) should be a breeze for you. The only thing to watch out for is since you have a stock rom now, the first time it boots it will rewrite the recovery back to stock. Here is how to get around this:
Download the custom rom of your choice.
Place the zip file on the root of your sd card.
Get your phone back in fastboot mode
Using MultiRecoveryFlasher, flash StreakMod
As soon as the screen goes black for the reboot, hold the volume +/- keys.
Choose option 2 again, this time it should take you into StreakMod
Choose flash from update.zip
On the next screen, choose search for zip file (similar wording)
Choose the custom rom from earlier
Let it do it's thing.
Choose reboot system now
Again, as soon as the screen goes dark, hold Volume +/-
Now choose option 1 - Factory Rest
Let it do it's thing.
It should boot up now and your custom recovery will stay intact.
Let me give you some friendly advice: Streakdroid 2.3 is too much of a work in progress. Install one of the other Streakdroids, Longhorn, Simple Streak, or even my Streakin' 354. Play with it for a while and learn a little more before jumping into one that may not be as stable.
As far as rooting a stock rom, the preferred method is via superuser.zip. I'm not at home, so I don't have the file to upload for you, but its on these Dell Streak forums somewhere. You have to have a custom recovery to use it though. The custom roms are all rooted already.
Thank you for everything
No problem. Did you get it working?

Absolutely and I couldn't have done it without you. If you had written out just one of the x number of tutorials out there, I don't think anyone would have run into the problems I did at first.
Streakdroid 191 runs like a charm---snappy and more responsive than stock ever was.
Glad to hear it...I was lost when I first started too. Someone helped me out and I just like to pay it forward. It's what makes this forum my favorite.

Hi again guys.. and mr lordmorphous!
im following what you told him (aaivazi)..
I'm going to try to start from scratch here. I am also assuming you are using a Windows PC.
Download the drivers from Dell. Here's the link:
http://support.euro.dell.com/support...&fileid=433681
Install them and reboot your pc.
Download MultiRecoveryFlasher from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1000455
Extract it to somewhere on you pc where you can find it.
Now this hasn't been updated to include 360's recovery, but that's ok. We don't have to run the utility. It's the support files that are included that we are going to use.
Download the recovery.img for 360 (which I think you have already done)
Put the recovery.img in the root folder of MultiRecoveryFlasher. There should be other files in there such as fastboot.exe, adb.exe, etc.
Power down your phone and restart it in fastboot mode (hold down camera and power button together until you get a white screen. When fastboot appears in upper right, select it and plug your phone into your pc)
Verify the phone displays fastboot ready
Open a command prompt on your PC
Type in the following command: fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
(im already here but this is what the command prompt says:
'fastboot.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.)
what should i do ?
