if you cant fastboot/recovery/anything, it's pretty much bricked. If you get some blue LED, there isnt much hope for that either.
i got no blue led it just stay on the first splash screen no recovery mode or fastboot

Then you're bricked. Means you need a new phone.
no ooo
people there is a solution via the usb when it is stuck at the first splash screen just search
mine is totally bricked and still no solution !!!
call tmobile.
I did the same thing yesterday and I told them that My phone updated itself then wouldnt turn back on.
my new one is in the mail and will be here in 2 days
just act naive and clueless.
as long as your still under warranty, your all good.
thanks ppl i try everything but this its not going no where the pc dosnt want to recognize my phone and i try everything just gonna throug it in the toilet and call the insurence
At least sell it for parts, you can probably squeeze 40 bucks out of it or similar. Check the going rates on eBay for non-functional handsets.
I know its a bit late....but I fixed my 'bricked' MT3G
I was searching around the web for a solution to my problem, and needless to say, there wasn't much out there for me besides the typical... "it's bricked, buy a new phone."
So here's my story:
Earlier today I decided to upgrade my MT3G to Cyanogen's 5.0.7 Android 2.1 rom. I had used the experimental 5.0.6 rom, and found it to be a bit more "glitchy" than I was comfortable with. So, I went online for what I figured to be a very simple upgrade...and downloaded both the rom and a kernel (which was 32A not 32B).
Needless to say, after installing the rom, the kernel, my gapps update, and resetting my phone... it did nothing but hang on the MT3G screen. After about 30-45 min...I knew something was wrong and I freaked. It was unresponsive to multiple attempts to reboot, and was not being seen by my computer.
That's when the online search began... I looked for other individuals who've suffered the same fate and kept coming up with the same "you're screwed" response. Having recovered more "bricked" iPhones in the past than I can count, I knew this could not be the case. For me, as long as the phone turned on and flashed some sort of screen, there's still hope.
So what did I do...
Well, I first attempted to boot the phone into recovery mode...but it would not work. Next, i figured I would try doing a fastboot... and what do ya know... it worked!
From there I used multiple combinations of plugging in the phone via usb and resetting and putting into recovery mode until I found one that worked.
So here's my steps:
(Note: this has only been tested if you accidentally installed the 32A kernel on your 32B device)
1. Power on the phone... If you continuously sit at the green MT3G screen, take off the back and take out the battery.
2. Plug in your USB cable (VERY IMPORTANT, will explain later)
3. Next, replace the battery and hold down both the [home] and [power] buttons, if it merely turns on to the green screen, and you get no response from your computer's usb notification window...take out the battery again
4. Fastboot your phone (hold down [back] and [power] arrows) While your phone in connected to your computer, it should make a notification sound.
5. Restart your phone from Fastboot, AS SOON as it shuts off, hold down the [home] and [power] keys.
6. Continue holding until you hear a notification sound from your computer...at that point it should boot into recovery mode.
7. Wipe your handset (just for good measure) and reinstall your update package...DELETE that wrong kernel from your sd card so you dont make the same mistake again.
Summary:
I have no clue as to why it works, but I've done this 3 times now just to verify, and each time it has worked. For some reason, the USB connection to the handset acts as a precursor to the phone booting. I will stress that without plugging in the USB, my phone did not boot into recovery mode. However, after I did plug it in...Fastbooted....Reset....and Booted into Recovery it worked perfectly.
I am still suffering lags on my device (more so than before) and this could be a product of my stupidity, or this rom being laggy. Either way it works, and I don't have to purchase a new phone!!!
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
I experienced the same problem which can not boot recovery.
I've tried your way above but no luck.
Is there another way?

T-Mobile myTouch 3G - stuck on splash
Today I probably flashed my phone with a wrong (32A) SPL. I can't access fastboot, recovery mode or anything, including access from PC (either Linux or Window$). But it's stuck on splash - if it was totally bricked, would it still load a splash screen? Is there any hope?
Sigh.. I have the same problem.. Blue LED If I hold down the track ball but can't get to fastboot or recovery..
My problem started after I flash the HTC rom from the website.. Sigh.. I think it was the radio that did it..
Anyone found a way to get around this (w/o jtag)?
I am also experiencing the same problems. Blue LED works, cannot get into fastboot, bootloader, or recovery. It just sits on the opening splash screen.
Any other ideas?
Looks like I will just sell mine as a "bricked" device and hope to salvage a few bucks. Sigh
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I would keep going but you get the point. I downloaded ROM Manager, and I flashed a Cyanogen Nightly ROM from 11-5-2010 and I got nothing but a Green spalsh screen and a reboot cycle. You instructions ROCK!!!
I went crazy and prayed a few times to unbrick my phone. I tried different things and then nothing worked. So I had the phone on for a bit and it restarted twice and then ran. Just let in sit for a while. Give it time. Maybe itll work for u too. goodluck

Can I ship you my bricked device so you can practice unbricking? I can pay you in random electronics
Ok, I have another thread elsewhere but it's not helping. Here's the deal.
Dell Bought AT&T Streak on Contract.
I rooted by Universal Androot and it said "woot" it worked (or something to that affect)
As far as "Update.pkg" I have used 4399 and 6941 and below is what happens (with other recoveries too, 6941 and clockwork)
I then got into fastboot and flashed recovery r1-4399-Streak-Recovery and it went well. Phone said "done"
So I unplugged from USB, took out battery, put back in and held volume/up/down and power..........chose 2
Dell logo comes up for a second then I get taken to a screen where it says
Android System recovery utility - GAUSB1A110421
Press the Shutter button to start emergency software recovery.
Warning: All data will be erased.
Press the Volume Down button to power off without recovery.
I have tried not hitting anything (which takes me to the Dell Logo eventually where it just stays stuck) and I have tried hitting the camera button which does the same (after I get a load icon)
So, since I don't have access to my phone to know exactly what stage it's in, I don't know where to start again.........Please help........I really need my phone and at this point don't care about 2.1. I have about 9 hours into this so far.........
Tried another way by using clockwork recovery 1.8.1.7 (any later versions just boot into a black screen)
I initially get Cant Find MISC: errors, but still get options so I installed build 6941 and got a few more errors.........then
install from sdcard complete
E: Can't find MISC:
so I was back in clockwork and held the camera button on "reboot" and am stuck at the Dell Logo again.............Please, I'm about to call Dell and turn this back in, I seriously need a phone........2 days with this and I think I've tried everything.........
So what do you have on there as of right now?
last thing I was able to install through clockwork was
downloaded 4399-update-streak-stock-rooted-signed.zip from http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/314313/how-to-get-your-streak-back-to-factory-condition/ and renamed the whole zip file update.pkg then through clockwork I get what's written below......
update.pkg.zip
E: cant find Misc
finding update package...
opening update package...
Installing update...
Installing system...
Writing boot image...
Install Complete!
Install from sdcard complete.
then from clockwork recovery I go to "reboot system now"
and get E: Can't find MISC:
Then it reboots and I see the Dell Logo and the Home and Menu Keys flash like crazy, then I have the Dell Logo and it just stays there (30 mins so far)
I really feel like I've tried every combination, This round it keeps flashing the home and menu keys every couple of minutes, but is still on the Dell menu.
Are you sure you're renaming it right? I don't think it should display update.pkg.zip.....
I have tried downloading just PKG files and renaming them and using stock recoveries, as well as downloading "zip" files and renaming them............given that I don't think anything has ever taken, I'm not sure what build I have anymore, or where to start?? I have seriously tried everything I can find from Streaksmart, MoDaCo, and here............I think I have too many variables going on and no way to know where a starting point is..........is there something I can do from the SD card through a reader that will help, or what...........I'm thinking I'm still on my 1.6 ATT 6061, but really don't know.
Hm, maybe try this?
HOW TO RESTORE YOUR STREAK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION:
Option 1.
1. Download the stock recovery ROM HERE (http://hotfile.com/dl/61659279/506ac40/recovery.stock.img.html) and the stock official Dell ROM HERE (http://hotfile.com/dl/61663686/7d7e528/Streak_104_4399_21.pkg.html).
2. Rename the stock official Dell ROM 'Update.pkg' and put it in the root directory on your SD card.
3. Boot Streak in fast boot mode (hold camera button when turning on), press 'Fast boot Mode' button, wait 10 seconds then connect to your PC (must have Dell PC suite installed).
4. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where your 'fast boot-windows.exe' is stored.
5. Type 'fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery c:\recovery.stock.img' . Make sure the .img file is in c:\ directory. The program will now update the recovery image on your Streak.
6. Once the phone reads 'Recovery Done', remove the battery and insert it again.
7. Boot Streak in Recovery mode (hold down vol up and vol down when turning on) and select option 2.
5. Wait till it installs and it'll boot into Android....DONE!
Option 2
Place update.pkg on SD card root folder
Power up streak whilst holding both volume buttons
Select option 2 - "software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card" by pressing camera button
Press camera button again Job done
Thanks to the Guys over at MODACO for putting this together.

well, I've done that same thing with many different roms and images, and maybe these ones, but I'll try and let ya know.
I don't know why, but I got the O2 splash screen and it booted up...........I have flashing buttons, but that's ok for now, I'm going to figure something out from here! It's been a long two days!! Thanks!!

No problem. Glad I could be of assistance!
I have 2.1 now, and it's awesome!! Not sure why folks are wanting to go back to stock....and now that the source code is out, I'm sure good things are coming!!
could you give a list of the files you used to get to 2.1?
I'm using a U.S dell streak Build 6601. Rooted with the flashing buttons. I've returned it to the stock recovery ROM because all the others and clockwork that I tried gave me the blank screen like you described. With the stock recovery and the O2 build from the post JaysFreaky mentioned gives me errors:
E: No Signature (972 files)
E: Verification Failed
Thanks!
Oh and a general question, would the official O2 2.1 update work on a rooted U.S streak? Or is it best to "start fresh" with the O2 1.6?
Okay, I'm successful now too, But I want to share HOW I achieved my success.
I followed the advice here: http //forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7668927&postcount=6
And infact, I did so without using the custom Recovery roms, I just used the stock recovery WITH the 2.1 update, skipping the O2 1.6...be patient though, because through out the processes, there were moments I thought it was hanging, it wasn't. Also toward the last step, it sits at the O2 logo for a bit then it gives you the heavenly start up sound and you're GOOD TO GO.
Good luck everyone and happy streaking!

I used the recovery file from the post in this thread. and I used http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/316229/19-aug-streak-2-1-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/ for 6941. Worked fine, after reading all over the web though, I'm gonna say that something is "twitchy" about rooting and adding new ROMS on the streak though. I followed directions exactly from at least 6 different folks and there are still tons of questions being posted. I don't think it's peoples inability to follow directions, it's that what works for some, doesn't work for others.

Would anybody be willing to make a video on this I'm having a hard time witn all this

johnniedell: Different result for me:
I was an in the same situation as you were...
Streak US AT&T
Baseband version: unkown (used to say GAUSB1A111231-US, but not after numerous tries)
Kernel 2.6.29-perf
OEM version GAUSB1A111231
Build number 6601
Device is rooted. (Universal Andoroot)
Flashing the 4399 recovery image apparently works (says Done)
But as soon as it reboot and flash the Update.pkg (tried o2 stock 4399 1.6) I have the error message:
E: No Signature (972 files)
E: Verification Failed
After that I reboot and I'm back on AT&T 1.6. No harm done, so I've decided to try going direct to 6491 2.1.
No "E:" error message. It goes directly into loading the new ROM!!
However, after 2 reboots, it still doesn't pass the DELL logo screen!!! So I'm trying the one from Jays (apparently different from 4399 stock as the file doesn't have the same size). This time the home and menu buttons flashes all the time but I get all the way to the O2 screen and finally the Streak starts!!!!
Then I've applied the O2 2.1 6941, which at the end of the process produced a new screen with a green install progress bar and the info: DT: A3.724 Built date: Jul 7, 2010 10:03:09.
After that the system automatically proceeded to a factory reset and rebooted.
I thought I'd post my story in case it helped others!
Anyone still watching this thread?
I have an AT&T version of the Streak. I have the stuck logo, flashing lights issue. also. I think I've tried everything possible on these forums and had no luck yet. When I attempt to flash the stock rom (or any rom) it says "error in E: /sdcard/update.pkg.dec" My poor NEW Streak hasn't seen the face of Android UI in two days! PLEASE HELP ME!
Remember, O2 1.6 and 2.1 are not flashed from clockwork. Just put the Update.pkg in the ROOT of your SD card and use the stock recovery. There is not manual find for it. If you get stuck a the Dell Logo, do a factory reset and reboot.
Streak locked with Dell logo following update 2.2.
Hi guys.....Urgent I need help!!!!!!!....five days ago I have update to Froyo 2.2 (pack to baseband 00) from 1.6 in unlocked Streak to AT&T, baseband 31-US, version 6601....and now my Streak is dead and lock to Dell logo with black screen. I have intentend all recommendations in this thread and in Modaco, Streaksmart.com, etc, etc.....and nothing: my device is locked and dead,.....please I need help!!!!!!...any idea is apreciated.
Thanks.
Maurice.
I have yet to find a method or combination that works to update the new white Dell Streaks from Best Buy to any working version other than 1.6. I resolved the issue I had by flashing the original baseband and stock software back to the device. I guess I'll be waiting until there's an official update for this thing. Wear90, I would suggest you flash the original back on it and wait. Trying to get anything else is a headache of incredible proportions. Just sayin'
so my streak wont boot past a black screen after i tried to downgrade to 2.1. The upgrade seemed like it went good but then when i rebooted it a black screen came up and it stays for a good 30 mins. I have tried flashing the alt recovery and stock recovery but it will still go to the black screen when i get to the dell recovery and press update from package.. If i could just flash another rom i would be ok(i think) but i literally cant do anything on it except go to fastboot mode. Please help because i cant find my specific problem anywhere. The guide i followed was homeiss. By the way i have an att us streak that previously had 2.2 on it. Please help and thanks.
Hi All
I have a Dell Streak which was on 1.6 and I tied to update to 2.2. Problem is I tried to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.2 before going to 2.1. The Streak just sits on the Dell boot logo. I can access clockword recovery and flash images but i cant access fastboot as device does not get picked up my laptop. I have held down both volume buttons on the phone and selected the power button to bring up options. But I also cant run update.pkg (renamed stock 1.6 update) as phone goes into clockwork recovery and that doesnt allow me to run pkg files. I will be grateful for any advice as I am worried that i may have bricked it for good.
Hey dont worry as long as streak boots to Dell logo we can make it work
Now answer this
Do you know how to flash files through Fastboot?
Also I need to know whats device status when you connect it to ur laptop
In Device manager. Does it say
1.unknow device
or
2. A exclamation on Android phone
The phone can be picked in Fastboot mode on the PC. It shows as android phone. I dont know how to flash in this mode and what files to flash. I would be grateful if someone can show me.
UPDATE
I have managed to restore to stock. Thanks. Do I have to update to official 2.1 before going to DJ Steve's 2.2 rom?

JEEEEEEZZZ Some people never learn
Not Android Development Please post in the correct Forums
Moved to General
So as my wife tells it she received a text message then the phone shutdown and went to the bootloader screen. She was running Liberty2 v3? up until now.
The phone boots to the bootloader showing:
Boot Loader
D2.37
err:A5,69,55,00,27
Ready to program
USB
The standard bootloader schpeal.
Unfortunately I can't do anything to get beyond this. I have tried SBF to 2.3.20 and 2.3.4 both come back to the same screen. Cannot access recovery by holding X or the down volume button.
On boot the phone shows the Red Moto "M" logo then fails to the boot loader.
HALP!
You don't see the M logo when you go into boot loader. Hold the up arrow on the keyboard as you power on. Boot loader will be the first screen that you come to.
Don't know what to tell ya. I can't get into recovery no matter what keys I press. I get the "M" logo then it fails into the boot loader with the above error.
I can ONLY get to the bootloader no matter what I do. No SBF files seem to work and I cannot get to recovery to try and wipe data/cache to fix the bootloop. Basically I'm stuck at the bootloader and can't do anything to get past it.

Been stuck like this going on 2 weeks now.
There has to be an .sbf to flash that'll work.

Yeah, today I'm in search of a DInc2 to replace it. Luckily I do have a Droid1 that uses the same battery so I can charge it and keep trying various things to get it working. Just sad that a phone that was perfectly good one second is toast in minutes. She could have at least dropped it and had it die that way...
Bricked D2
bump. D2 Bricked. Saw there was a sbf for D2 global, but those of us with bricked D2 seem to be out of luck for now. Oh well, I guess i don't need a phone for a while. . .
Did you guys take the newest Verizon Over the Air updates?
