Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone knows where I should go from following what I've done to my phone so far. Ive downloaded the Recovery flasher and installed/open it successfully. However once i transferred a Hero ROM rebooted holding home + power, I got the triangle and exclamation point screen with only 3 options. I wiped it and then tried to install update.zip (what i renamed the hero ROM too as instructed). Now i cant get back to the recovery screen with all the options and what not??? This is probably such a simple question but I'm stuck!
Any help or guidance on the matter would be appreciated.
Thanks again.
did u installed the recovery flasher correctly , look thru this site here
http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/
Device was updated with Evil Eclair 1.9...update went fine...reboot, and stuck at the Acer screen with the little stalker robots.
I have Malez Recovery installed. Ive tried both the battery removal then button combo as well as the button combo that gives you the two vibrations blahblah. Neither get me past the boot screen.
Any help?
To assist anyone who might have a similar issue, I was able to fix it by accessing the phone via the Acer Tool, while it was stuck in the boot screen. I flashed it to the 2.1 stock again, and all is well.
Probably you didn't wipe off data before flashing Evil.
Go to super boot and go to recovery mode then wipe all data then reflash the ROM. . This should work.
Or simply you can use Acer tools and update the BIN file (stock ROM) of your choice. This should work too: )
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'
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
Hiya all, I am quite desperate for help, I consider myself intermediate when it comes to dealing with android devices but I am well and truly stumped on this one.
I received a second hand streak from eBay yesterday, turned on first time and booted fine, running Steakdroid 1.9.0 by DJ Steve. I had a few issues with it reboot randomly or crashing, as it had Streakmod Recovery installed I did a full wipe all areas, reinstalled the Rom 1.9.0 and bit a factory reset on reboot from the Dell recovery menu.
All the device does now is reboot in bootloop on the dell logo it stall when it goes as far as booting or trying to load the Rom.
I ran the test in fastboot to test the internal drive as this is known to fail and both that and my SD memory passed the test.
I used fastboot and CMD to flash 4399 recovery image the OEM recovery image for the Rom Streak_104_4399_21.pkg I renamed this to update.pkg and rebooted the device into recovery where I then went to restore the original firmware (1.6) but as soon as I pressed the camera button to proceed I was greeted with a lovely black screen.
I left the device for about 2 minutes where it reset itself and just keep rebooting on the dell logo the restore did not seem to work, just to check fastboot and CMD was working as it should I went to reinstall the Streakmod Recovery image and sure enough it worked I managed to boot the device back into streakmod.
Unfortunately every time I try to install a custom rom they just do not seem to load the device simply stalls on the Dell logo because I cant seem to restore the original recovery image for the stock rom I cannot factory restore and nor will any custom rom boot.
All I have is access to fastboot and Streakmod recovery aaaah!!
If anyone can help me in the slightest I would well very, very, very much appreciate it!
As you have fastboot working, go to the wiki and download the recovery.img for the latest 360 rom, put the corresponding rom on your sd card named update.pkg and try to do a recovery by powering on device holding down volume up and down.
Flash then do a factory reset and you should be fine.
Streakmod is a great tool for flashing custom roms, not too many problems using custom roms, but you must use Streakmod with care, never use the factory reset option from within streakmod itself, this can render your phone a brick.

Thanks for the reply here's my progress so far:
Flashed recovery image and loaded rom to SD card..... Booted into dell recovery and this is what happened
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
Yellow bar 25%ish at this point
flashing lights
Installing Update
33%ish lights flash again
Yellow bar jumps 3/4 then fills screen, streaks screen goes blank/ off
Doesn't reboot/ cant turn on so I remove battery and switch back on and I am back to Dell logo then I get a picture of an android and another small progress bar that slowly fills and the device and it again reboots
Streak reboots again about 3 times like it is stuck in bootloop, I leave it and keep my fingers crossed I then get an animation of the Dell logo and glowing lights behind it.
Keep fingers crossed and sure enough it boots into the lock screen, I go to unlock it but it freezes and I get the flashing lights syndrome and the screen goes blank
Remove battery and switch on again, dell logo bootloop after about 8 or 9 bootloops it boots back up into the ROM above but then crashes once again...
Is it fair to say this streak has given up the ghost?
Flashing lights could mean baseband mismatch.
Try again, but be certain to use the correct recovery.img for the rom you are flashing, get the 351, 354 or 360 recovery.img that matches your choice of rom.
Make sure there is only 1 update.pkg on your microsd card, the one you want to flash, move all others, rename them or delete them. The Dell recovery always looks for update.pkg, nothing else.
Flashing lights could be something more major, but i still think its a baseband mismatch.

Honestly thats what I wanted to hear but what worries me is I downloaded the recovery and image from Wiki both relating to 360 will try flashing again I really do hope it can be fixed! Seems today is not a good day for me today many things going up the creek!
I am 75% certain if you flash it with the right update.pkg, that is a renamed 360 pkg you downloaded, you will have success.
When you flashed Streak_104_4399_21.pkg you were trying to revert to Android 1.6.
You may have to use the QDLTool to fix the Streak. I am not sure what problems trying an 1.6 build over an Android 2.2 build can cause. You may want to wait for some more feedback.
Start here for more info and try the links in my signature.
I dont believe you can downgrade directly from 2.2.x -> 1.6.
2.2.x -> 2.1 -> 1.6 might work but why are you doing this in the first place?
Just directly install 360 or the like
teaganravetta,
Does this sum up your situation?
1) you bought a used phone and it had StreakDroid 1.9.0 on it
2) because of issues with SD 1.9.0, you tried to flash Streak_104_4399_21.pkg, not realizing that SD is based on a newer stock rom
3) you then tried flashing bb 360
3) Now you are having issues with boot loops and phone won't boot?

Yes thats exactly what happened and in that exact order I am guessing this means the worse, am going to try for the 3rd time now reflashing 360 so fingers crossed

I'm not going to tell you anything different than anyone else, however I am going to give you links to the exact files you need so there is no confusion.
Download this:
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/360/recovery.img
This is the recovery image for 360. Save it in the folder on your computer that has fastboot.
Now download this:
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_360_17397_00.pkg
Rename this to Update.pkg and place in the root of your SD Card. (ensure there is no other Update.pkg on your card)
Power off the phone, if not done already.
Hold the power and camera button down until you get a white screen. Click on fastboot on your phone. Wait 10 seconds.
Plug it into your computer with the usb cable.
Wait for it to say fastboot ready (or something similar).
Now flash the recovery.img using the following command (This command assumes a Windows PC):
fastboot.exe -i 0x413 flash recovery recovery.img
When both your computer and the phone says it was successful, complete, or whatever, pull the battery.
Replace the battery, hold both volume buttons along with the power button.
In the menu that opens, choose the second option. Let us know your results.
I only added this post in case their was confusion over which files were actually needed. No need for a separate baseband, dsp1, or anything else. These are all included in the pkg file.
many thanks for all the help, so far I have downloaded "QDLTool3rd_20101022_GAUSB1A130500" turned off driver signing as I am x64 all ADB drivers fine and COM ports okay have restored via this tool according to the log successfully.
Phone rebooted a few times it has paused on the Dell logo for a moment but the guide did say anything up to 10minutes for first boot so I am holding for the moment to see if this has cured it otherwise I will report back and re download the above files and try that!
It takes me a while because I am out in the sticks I only have a 60kbps download speed (yikes) I know!!
Because your first attempt at flashing a stock ROM was the Android 1.6 version I am not sure you can just flash 360 at this point. I think you have to use the QDLTool (repairtool), but I am not sure. Try searching for the procedures that were used to upgrade from 1.6.
Edit to use the QDLTool:
In this post DL under commonly downloaded tools get Fastboot/ADB utils + drivers for Streak 5/7 and Venue and QDL Tool.
Then download qdltool-tutorial.zip from this page. unzip the tutorial and open it with a browser that supports flash or other flash viewer.
After using the QDLTool let the Streak boot and then flash the 360 recovery file and the 360 ROM. You must not let the phone boot completely after flashing a different recovery or the phone will restore the one that came with the ROM currently on the phone. Read this.
You can find more info about QDLTool by searching. As I said I think that is what you need to do.
