[Q] Stock ATT to Steve's Froyo 1.4.6 - Possibly bricked?

Hey Guys,
First off I'm new to the streak. Picked mine up from my local best buy today. I read the PDF for beginners. Got mine rooted. Installed clockworkmod through Fastboot. Tried installing Steve's Froyo. Everything was going fine. It did the two reboots after the .mbn file. But when I flashed the rom in clockwork mod the notification bar didn't do it's thing all the way. Then it rebooted and hung on the dell logo.
I tried using fastboot to flash the recovery image but that requires access to the sd card once you but the phone into recovery.
I'm totally lost! Been trying to get my phone back to life for hours and I'm having no luck.
Can anyone help?

It was discused already!!!
Just do a factory reset and after, try to boot normaly.
Or do factrory reset, reflash the update.zip and so...
In most cases that helps!

G'day,
I wouldnt always trust the "update bar"... Quite a few times for me it seems to "abort early", though it has still worked fine.
Did you give it 8 or so mins to boot?... When you first flash it can take quite awhile for the initial boot.

Get the qdltool and install 2.2 that way... Easiest safest way...

I did a factory reset last night and it hung on the logo. Just did it again after seeing your post and it's still hanging on the logo. Been about 15 minutes now. Any suggestions?

Yes...I gave it at least 8 minutes to boot. It got stuck on the dell logo so after several minutes I went to the forums to see if there was a fix. It probably had between 20-30 minutes before I started doing anything else to it.

Where would I find the qdtool? That's if I can fix this thing.
Any other suggestions guys? I'm really pissed at myself for this happening and my wife is going to give me hell for dropping almost $600 US on a phone and bricking it.

Thanks bro. I'm actually a little afraid to try and upgrade. I ended up figuring out a way to unbrick my streak. I downloaded the recovery image and flashed that via fastboot. Then I manually loaded the o2 1.6 package on my sd card (couldn't access it through my phone because it was stuck on the dell logo). Flashed to o2 1.6 and then to 2.1. 2.1 is soooo much better than 1.6. And coming from a captivate it runs super fast even at stock.
I'm really happy I made the leap to the streak even with all the problems in the first two days. It's funny how both phone can run android but flashing and updating can be so different on each.
So I guess my question is...is Steve's Froyo worth it? I have my phone set up how I want it. It's quick, stable (except I don't think wifi is working, but that's okay because I have unlimited 3g) and polished. I'm not sure I want to be dealing with orientation locks and any other bugs that might be involved.
Anybody have an opinion on that?

Ok, so you are up and running then. The only thing i was going to suggest is flashing SBF to get you back to Stock Android 2.2 and starting the process over again. I had a similar problem and wiped everything clean IOT get what i wanted. SBF'ing is simpler then you think, all you need is 2 files (rsdlite_4.8 and VRZ MB810_2.3.15 sbf). There's lots of articles here on it and I used them when I thought I bricked my phone. I started all over and was able to receive my 2.2.1 update.....finally!!

have you done the ota update? if so use 2.3.32.sbf you can get it by google and search droid x 2.3.32 sbf and its the first result. and dl rdlite 4.8. very easy to flash. several guides on here as stated.

I got it my drivers are up to date but won't find my phone.. And I'm leary all I got to do is that file and update?

Try running rsdlite as the administrator. (Right click rsdlite)

Now won't find it and I got a toshiba, only a little bit over a year old

EDIT - finally got rsd lite to recognize but first attempt failed trying again... pray
EDIT #2 - YEs, rebooted with 2.3.320 now to find 2.3.340 n flash it

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.
/10char

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

New StreakDroid Site

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.

Wireless and networks force close

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.
