Help!!! none of the rom i flash work!!

i tried to flash 2.2 but i end up getting stuck in dell logo boot up screen. so i try to flash it back to stock 1.6 att rom i flash the stock recovery img first and put the stock 1.6 in my ms, but when i press the volume up and down + power and select option it just gave me a black screen with back light on.
please help im with out a phone right now ;[
also when i try to install djsteve 2.2 it just stays at 20% for around 30-40 sec and then it says completed

OK, I has similar problem but resolved now.
Here is what i did:
Download amss-2.1.mbn file (this is baseband 2.1, 2.2 is what you updated with amss.mbn and it doesnt work).
Put your streak into fastboot mode then select fastboot and plugin your usb cable to your phone and to your system.
Open command prompt on your system
Type in as like before 'fastboot -i 0x413 flash amss amss.mbn'
On completion type 'fastboot -i 0x413 reboot'
Press and hold Vol +/-.
And update Flash with Froyo 2.2 v1.0 (try update v1 or beta first but not v1.2) zip
Reboot
Give this a try.

where do i get v1? i came seem to find it any where. does v1.1.1 work? do i flash the nbm file before or after i flash the rom?
also im on 2.1 right now do i need to root it first?
okayy............
so i got v1.1.1 to work but, when i try to wipe and install 1.2 it got stuck in dell logo again. do i need to reflash the amss in bootloader?

Follow Steve instruction to the letter and all will be good.

Can we flash on Mac or with an app.Is att's 2.2update avaliable more questions

I have steves 1.53 rom stored on my sd idk if theres a flashin app that can flash it from the sd on to the att Dell streak (non branded streak). Or away to flash on a mac and im having trouble with my windows xp flash!? Idk why, if someone can walk me through it. Im used to flashing HTC windows phones and even built my own version windows roms and also Iphone apps and I.OS ice built my own.... Come to think of it is there away to actually put a full fledged os on the streak or dual boot even to alow to get as much use out of this unit? Or even overclock it and how to over clock if you could walk me through it!?

There are unix parameters for fastboot, that means that there must be a unix SDK that can be used in Mac OSX.
I have not seen any dual boot solutions.
And most of your questions are answered in this forum.
Try: Guide to Upgrading and Downgrading the Streak
Or the combination of:
NEW StreakMod Recovery
and
StreakDroid 1.6.0 ( aka Install-o-Rama ) Release Post

Yes you can do everything with a mac (i actually find it easier on a mac as you don't have to deal with drivers like you do on windows).
Go to developer.android.com and download the SDK for mac. Get the Fastboot file for mac (attached cuz i'm feeling nice) and drop that in your SDK/Tools folder.
Add the full path of the sdk/tools folder to your bash profile (search on google) so you can use the fastboot-mac, adb, etc commands from the tools folder in Terminal without being in that directory.
Once you got that, you have to know a couple terminal commands, basicly just how to navigate to the folder where you downloaded the streakmod recovery (google for "mac terminal commands cheat sheet" and you might find something useful.
Once you know how to navigate via terminal its as simple as flashing the StreakMod recovery. Put your device in bootloader mode (search or see the wiki) then in terminal it should be something along the lines of:
Code:
fastboot-mac -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Then to get into the recovery youd reboot your device after the flash
Code:
fastboot-mac -i 0x413c reboot
hold the volume up and down buttons, select option 2 (flash update.pkg or whatever) and that'll take you into the StreakMod recovery [if you get the dell logo with an exclamation mark in a triangle and nothing is showing, press the power button]
From streakmod recovery select Flash update.zip from sd card then select "select .zip from sd card" and then use volume up/down to scroll up/down and camera button to select and voila you are flashing a rom with your mac :S
Also before you flash the rom you might want to do a full nandroid backup incase your update messes up you can do a full restore and be exactly at the point before you attempted to flash your device.
Nandroid is under the Advanced option in the streakmod recovery.
Good luck
OH p.s.
EVERYTHING you need to know is on the forums/wiki/etc.
Please do a search, i know you have to read through a bunch of crap but its worth it. you'll learn a ton

i enjoy how he called it an ATT non-branded dell streak.

I always had to install the ADB drivers manually, before fastboot mode worked.
Here you can download a manual on how to install the drivers.

I'm running on a mac... I must be blind cuz i can't find a mac guide to install drivers...

First download android sdk from
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
install the application and then
then copy all the files in platform-tools to tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/drgopoos/Desktop/Android/android-sdk-mac_86/tools
when u do this commands u can use wthout ./
open terminal
and cd the directory of the installation folder ( /Android/android-sdk-mac_86/tools )
this is the command for flashing
./fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img

Is your device in fastboot mode? Power off, power on holding camera button, when you get the white screen tap on fastboot on top left, then plug in streak to mac.

flashing baseband/clockwork recovery problems

I just got my Streak today, and when using fastboot to flash the amss.mbn file I see that it pushed the file to the device then instructions say "3. Next hold down both volume buttons and type the following command:
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
during keep vol keys held until you get to recovery menu"
I get to recovery menu, choose option 2 with cam button, but then the device just hangs on a lit up but black screen, clockwork never starts or loads. I have also tried to reboot into recovery from clockwork mod and it does the same. Im forced to pull out the batt and restart that way, then the phone starts up fine, but im in the same state, i WANT to put this baseband on and install djsteves 1.8.1 but im stuck on this problem. Also when i tried to do a system reset, it basically just reboot, didnt delete anything. Any help on this would be awesome.
Note:
Android version 2.2,
Baseband GAUSB1A131800-US
kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
oem version GAUSB1A131500
Build number 12332
Thanks for the help

You need the streakmod recovery, you need to flash that on your phone using fastboot, then flash amss, be sure you have the 1.8.1 update zip on your sd card. Go to Streakdroid.com for step by step instruction/guide. You have already changed your baseband to 318 haven't you noticed that?

Not all versions of Clockwork run properly on the Streak. Ensure you've got 2.5.0.1 or 2.5.0.7. Else just use StreakMod as suggested in the previous post. Cheers!

Unlocked Bootloader Fastboot Gingerbread Root

Ive successfully rooted Ginger bread by following this method:
1. Download su.zip, and put it on your phone’s SD card.
2. Download fastboot.zip, unzip it to C:\. Now you have a folder C:\fastboot\
3. Download recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img, put it in C:\fastboot\
4. Shut down your phone. Then start your Nexus One in Fastboot mode by holding down the Trackball and press the Power button.
5. Connect your phone to your computer. Open a Command Prompt (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt), and run the following commands:
cd C:\fastboot
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
6. Use Volume +/- keys to choose ‘Bootloader’ and hit the Power button.
7. Use Volume +/- keys to select ‘Recovery’ and hit the Power button.
8. From the menu, scroll the Trackball to select ‘Flash zip from sdcard’ and hit the Trackball.
9. Select the su.zip file you previously copied to your SD card and hit the Trackball. Hit it one more time.
10. When done, restart your Nexus One and you should be all set.
There you go. Enjoy your rooted Nexus One

Great. Is this method new?

Not really

More like a year old...
See wiki for installing recovery with unlocked bootloader...

True but rooting GB is very new,Danger Your a wizard of the Android world and have helped me before so I know you know your ish

IMO this is the best way to gain root, so I think we're both on the same page... xD
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

Rooting GB using unlocked bootloader is not new. As mentioned, it's about a year and a half old, since several days before Nexus got out, way before Gingerbread was out, and even before Froyo was out. Unlocked bootloader on Nexus (or engineering bootloader on other devices) allows you to flash recovery (or anything else) directly, bypassing security checks. And in turn, custom recovery allows you infinite abilities in system modification.
Plus, this method doesn't allow running ADB root commands directly - for this, a string in boot.prop needs to be changed, setting insecure boot. Usually accomplished by flashing the corresponding Superboot zip.
The guide for flashing custom recovery for unlocked bootloader is in Wiki since it was introduced, several months ago.

Can this be run while on stock? or do you need to unlock the bootloader first?
And does this affect anything else? (ie data loss?)

Damnit, didn't read the title.

Where do I download su.zip from?

Ups, wrong thread ^^
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

where would you download the fastboot.zip file? I have all the other files

OK, so I went through the process and would like to clarify few things for people like me - i.e. those doing it first time. Hope it helps to somebody. Here are my updated step-by-step instructions:
1. Download su.zip, and put it on your phone’s SD card.
My update: get the su.zip (su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip) from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
2. Download fastboot.zip, unzip it to C:\. Now you have a folder C:\fastboot\
My update: I just used the fastboot that is in tools directory from Android SDK
3. Download recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img, put it in C:\fastboot\
My update: you can get it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
4. Shut down your phone. Then start your Nexus One in Fastboot mode by holding down the Trackball and press the Power button.
My update: you need to really hold the track ball even after you press the power button - until you see the white screen
5. Connect your phone to your computer. Open a Command Prompt (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt), and run the following commands:
cd C:\fastboot
fastboot devices
My update: you should get response similar to this:
HT9CNP804031 fastboot
if you don't get it then your phone is not correctly connected to Windows. See the following page for how to install USB driver: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Another my update: fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
6. Use Volume +/- keys to choose ‘Bootloader’ and hit the Power button.
7. Use Volume +/- keys to select ‘Recovery’ and hit the Power button.
My update: Toggle signature verification
8. From the menu, scroll the Trackball to select ‘Flash zip from sdcard’ and hit the Trackball.
9. Select the su.zip file you previously copied to your SD card and hit the Trackball. Hit it one more time.
10. When done, restart your Nexus One and you should be all set.
Note: this process WILL completely wipe out your phone - only data on the SD card will remain!!
