Hey Guys,
I need your help trying to bring this Dell Streak back from the grave.
Background: I got this Streak from a fellow who tried to put 2.2 on it but apparently did something wrong. Currently I have no Idea what build this is or even what country it's from but I have a few clues that may help.
While booting the Streak with the volume buttons it reads:
Factory Reset
Software upgrade from update.zip
Power off
near the bottom of the screen is the following: "DT: A2.643 Built Date: Dec 31 2009, 01:16:21"
While booting into fast boot mode the white screen comes up but where normally you would see the " Fast Boot" option on the upper right corner, there is nothing.
But if you connect it via USB the screen will change to "FASTBOOT_MODE".
One more clue is that the splash screen does come up and just hangs there but I found it interesting that it reads "Dell Confidential" under the Dell Logo.
So right now thats all it does, Hang on the Dell screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sounds like you have a beta unit sir.

I figured as much... the big question is... how to bring it back to life.
Have you tried to use qdl?

Send back DELL for warranty ?
If you see logo it is not dead...
Follow the qdl directions and put the phone into special mode with black screen... once you get to 305.. flash streakmod recovery and then flash 351 or 354 update.zip. upon install completion do a battery pull and not a reboot and you should be good.... if you get flashing lights just update baseband from the wiki directories for whatever you flash.

Open your dell streak, put internal SD card in card reader. Format it to fat 32 then put it on your phone => Reboot => Phone will re-format your card and copy system g luck

Isn't the system sd supposed to be a linux format?

No.

so why do i gotta pull out the internal and format it??? and once i format it to fat32 do just go back into the recovery and install???
try using the option fix permissions and clear the dalvik cache and see if that helps i find this usually fixes my force close problems not only on my streak but on many android devices hope this helps good luck
Step 1: What's in your install.txt?
If you want to go back to stock, fastboot the recovery of the stock rom you need/ want then put the update.pkg on ur sdcard and restore from there.

Very simple from here.........
Flash streakmod recovery and flash the update.zip for 351.... when it says done or complete, you must do a battery pull.... then on reboot it should come up stock...
The newer streaks crap out on reboot with external sd not being registered. A battery pull will get the external ad recoginized. I spent 3 hours teoubleshooting a newer streak and found I had to flash via streakmod and battery pull or it would never work

ive tried to flash stock roms from 345 to 347 to 351 to 353 to 354 and none of them work all i keep gettin is constant restarts my streak will load up and reboot and then get stuck on the dell logo....my streak i got back in december and it had stock android 1.6 on it...ive been troubleshooting this problem for about a month now and still no real explenation i feel like i just got a paper weight now i spent the money on this phone and im stuck wit a crappy old samsung.....
what stock rom were you using? 2.1 or 1.6
may sound silly but if it was 2.1 try 1.6 and see if that gives you any joy
Looks like there is a new StreakDroid site. Hope im not dropping the ball on this but I needed to re-download the qdl tool as I just tried to flash Steve's 1.9.0 and im stuck in a boot loop. There are no downloads listed on the new site, so if anyone is willing to upload the current repair tool id sincerely appreciate it. My streak is my only phone, sooooo I got nothin right now.
Any help is appreciated
Try doing a factory reset from the first menu, re-flash the rom, then factory reset again. That always stops the boot loop for me.
I know DJ Steve was asking for help in keeping the site maintained, so it may be just in the process of being re-designed - haven't looked.

Do a factory reset from the stock recovery screen after the flash. 1.9.0 had been the dell logo boot loop fixer to me for weeks.

Ok thanks. Going to try again at work as my netbook is there and I have all I need on the computer. Got it back to 351 official for now.

Hi,
I have a problem with my Streak running dell upgrade 2.2.2. Yesterday i was using the wifi hotspot and also tried to turn om the usb which resulted in force close
After this i cant acces Wireless & networks in Settings, results in force close. Have tried reboot and battery out but no luck.
Any suggestions? Factory reset?
Thanks

May not hurt to download the factory update.pkg to your SD card and flash it over your current ROM without doing a factory reset and see if that clears it up for you.
If I were you though, I would root it if you haven't done so already and also install StreakMod. Once you have that done, you can boot into the StreakMod recovery and clear cach and dalvik cache and see if that helps.
But if you are all stock, it won't hurt one bit to flash a stock ROM on top of what you already have. If you are unlocked, then you can use 354
Thanks for reply and suggestion. I dont have root and it seems like Dell no longer provide their 2.2.2 update. Whats the 354?
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
You can download ROMs here.
Is your Streak locked to AT&T? If it is, there was no 2.2.2 version for your phone, but you can use BB 351 or 354.
Lots of info about how to flash a rom is available, you can try the links in my signature to find more info or search.
Thanks. My phone is bought in sweden and not locked to any carrier. I used the 351 update provided by dell right away when I got my streak two months ago. The problem actually went away yesterday and i guess i will have to see how it turns out.

basically as title says , no matter which rom after reboot i get constant f.c and cant get nowhere
Just a guess here, but maybe your internal SD card is going bad.

what happens if i change it? is it just a case of swapping it like for like? then the streak will set it up? i also cant access fastboot mode now tried using qdl tool but it cant access fastboot mode
is my streak goosed, cant get access to fastboot
o guys basically after flashing a rom my phone went bad, now i cant get access to fastboot, ive tried using the qdl tool but it also cant access flashboot, is there something else can do to get it back, it just sits at the dell logo
I just want to clarify that I am talking about the internal sd card, not the one behind the battery cover. I swapped mine out and the phone took care of setting it up and I flashed a stock rom to start off. No sweat. I also used a 4GB as the original was 2GB. Now I have plenty of room for apps and whatever without having to install apps on my external sd card. There are lots of posts here and on modaco that will guide you through disassembling your streak, if that's the route you want to take. Some of them have pictures as well. Another good site to check out is ifixit.com. They have a picture guide on the streak's disassembly as well. I can't help you out personally with disassembly, as I just cut a hole under the battery cover to access mine. Now I can change it out at will. If your streak is still under warranty, consider replacing it that way. I don't even think they look at them to see what's wrong, so a custom rom shouldn't matter. Worse scenario, they send it back to you.
ive already tried another 2gb card in the streak (internal card) still no joy
Well then, I don't know what to tell you. You may have a different hardware problem. You say you can't access fastboot, does that include using the adb command, adb reboot-bootloader ?
Got it now. Used an older version of qdl it flashed the files successfully now I'm back
