from qdl 2.2 305 to official dell 315 - Streak 5 General

ok i have been having trouble and cant seem to get around it.
i have upgraded my locked att phone to 2.2 using the qdl tool.
i am now at gausb1a130500 build 10688.
i have downloaded the official 2.2 318 from dell.
after it downloads and i run it. it reboots to the dell white logo and stays there and will not lave that until it loses power or i pull the battery. if i have it plugged in and it reboots it will not start a charge cycle and it will run out of power and then reboot.
is there anyway i can force this thing to run? i have tried to download this several times.

Have you wiped the Delvik Cache? That usually works for me. You could try to flash either Streakmod or ClockworkMod recovery, and perform a Factory reset.

Try the 309 recovery image. That's what I used to upgrade to 318 after using the QDL tool.

Phone cant take 2.2 :(

So every time I load a 2.2 ROM, My phone starts to wig out and so random things when I am trying to type or anything else. I am rooted and have the ota 2.x radio installed. I keep having to go back to a 2.1 ROM with hydra kernel and everything is stable. I do a factory reset every time but still no go. any ideas?

a factory reset is not the same as a wipe from recovery menu afaik (if you mean a factory reset from bootloader (white screen))
boot into clockworkmod recovery and perform a wipe data/cache there, then flash it
some even experience problems with running the wipe from rom manager, so do it in the recovery menu instead
Thanks for the help. I tried what you said above and downloaded Sky raider 2.0 again. renamed it to update.zip then rebooted into clockwork. I did the wipe data/cache but sadly, I get the same results. I cant even get through the setup after the rom is installed. screen is unresponsive to my touch, but seems to have a mind of its own. I had best luck with CM 6 test 8 i downloaded from ROM manger, that ran for a day before starting to screw up.

Stuck on mytouch sceen reboot loop help

So i tried to flash a rom like a normally do and i get stuck on the green screen.
I noticed now when flashing a rom is takes alot longer to flash then it usually did , i wiped pulled battery multiple times and still the same results. If i try to flash a froyo rom it will stay on the mytouch screen for a few secs and reboot to recovery mode on its own. every other rom just gets stuck and will not move. im limited to only recovery mode and Fastboot , are their any simple fixes that can be done and thanks in advance.

Have you tried fixing apk uids? I've also heard you can use the bootloader to do a more thorough wipe.
If I were in your situation I would apply sappimg to unroot and start over.

im fairly new so i only know how to flash roms . outside of that im pretty much clueless. I tried flashing a new radio & when it tells me to reboot to complete installation it says no more room or somthing like that. it does it really quick so i cant tell. Also how would i go about unrooting?
EDIT .. ok unrooted the phone and it seemed to have done the trick.

Glad you're still operational. Now you can retrace your steps and figure out where you went wrong. I also had to unroot and go back to Cupcake before I successfully completed my first rooting.
If you're just flashing ROMs, I would stay away from updating the radio unless the developer specifically says you should.

[Q] Help

Have odin and still can't get past the places on my previous post. Every time i try to reboot i get the "clockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0"
"E:can't open /cache/recovery/log"
just like that half way down the screen. won't go any further. need some serious help.
you shouldnt be using recovery mode, you need to be in download mode. power off your device then hold 1 and power on again. you should get a little android with a shovel. thats the mode your phone needs to be on in order to odin it back

At this point the only way i can power it down is to remove the battery and even when i hold 1 and power back up it goes into clockwork recovery mode instead of download mode.
thats incredibly strange. ive had the same problem as you before when i installed a bunk rom but it didnt affect download mode. see if you can flash over stock dk28, after factory resetting 3 times, wiping cache and then dalvik. i think the reason its stuck on the samsung screen is because the last rom you installed is conflicting with something. but if you can get another to work, it may hopefully at least allow you to enter recovery so you can odin.
i may just be talking out my ass here, but its def a software issue, as opposed to hardware.
or it may even be a kernel conflict, make sure the one youre using is compatible with the rom

A friend at work, who has an EVO wanted to work on my phone while I was out of the office on business. He was able to finally get it to enter download mode, flashed odin and froyo DK28 and got me back up. Just a temporary glich that took several tries for some reason. Anyway I'm back on 2.2.1 and looking forward to rooting again but probably going to download a different rom. Thanks for help and advise. also good to have phone savy friends at work. Thanks Ashley.

Im glad it was all resolved haha. try the new bonsai4all 2.0. its very easy to install

[Q] Applied update, phone rebooted, now uhh?

Ok, so I updated from stock, using official update phone rebooted and stayed at samsung screen forever it kept blinking and vibrating. Pulled battery, tried restarting it goes samsung loading bar -> VM welcome -> flashing/vibrating samsung screen.....I can get into recovery AND download mode. Tried clearing cache, factory reset, and updating again, but still gets stuck at samsung screen. I am desperate guys I really need help, I am going on a LONG road trip this weekend and need my phone so ANY help would really be appreciated. THANKS!
When u say update do u mean u went from ex. 2.1 to 2.2.... android that is? U should elaborate a hit more, if what I mentioned is the case then revert back to the ROM prior to the update. If u give more info I may be able to help from my personal experiences
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Yes used official update went from 2.1 (stock) to 2.2 as the update finished, it got stuck in a sort of boot cycle, stuck at a samsung screen keeps flashing samsung logo, and vibrating. wont fully boot
OK, I saw on my facebook page samsung intercept page. Mediafire link to download update.zip file,has anyone tried this. Will this work,if it bricks my phone i will be pissed...
There's always the chance that a phone can get bricked, no mater what ...even from an 'official' update from your service provider. With that said, however, I've downloaded the Virgin Mobile 2.2 Froyo update file that's floating around and it installed no problem on my phone.
For the first poster ....I believe that the stock recovery is necessary for the VM 2.2 update to work. I won't swear on that though.
Here's what I did. Downloaded the 2.2 VM Froyo update to my laptop. Renamed it 'update.zip'. Copied it to the root of my sdcard on my Intercept via bluetooth. Booted into recovery mode and applied the update. Twiddled my thumbs while it updated itself from recovery and then rebooted....and the reboot takes a while, maybe 5 minutes. Presto ...2.2 Froyo.

I think that you didn't wait long enough...as the reboot takes a looooong time, maybe 5 minutes or more at least. Patience is a virtue.
Okay guys,im new here. I installed VM Froyo 2.2 update.zip,it seems to work fine. A bit slow but its still booting up. I installed stock rom,stock kernal, and update.zip,in that order. And backup works too,wiped dalvik cashe to. I like this forum its more informative,will let yall know more later. Thanks.

You're making this way to convoluted. All that one needs to do when updating from stock 2.1 on the VM Intercept is to download the (official unofficial) update file, rename it to 'update.zip' on the root of the sdcard, boot into recovery, and apply the update. That's it. It installs Froyo and the new radio, etc, itself...all from the update.zip. No need to mess with kernels and recovery or wipe anything ....except one's own azz if they go take a chit while waiting for it to reboot. In fact, when I updated it even kept all of my 2.1 widgets and icons and imported them into Froyo ...I didn't need to do a thing.
Oh, I see ....you had to convert your Intercept back to 'stock' first. Nevermind...
Yes, i did i downloaded stock rom,stock kernal and stock recovery all .zip. Put stock.zips in sdx/zip folder and update.zip 2.2 in root on sdcard. Installed all three wiped dalvik cashe rebooted each time in custom recvery. When i got to stk rec. rebooted to stock rec. Ran update.zip 2.2 may take a while but it booted no problems.
Can u get the phone into download more with any button sequences, YouTube it if u don't know what i mean(mobiletechvideos) then y will need to use odin to use tp download an official Samsung Rom.... PM if u need help

Randomly stuck in boot loop unrooted - How to get out of it

Hi Everyone,
I have been running the unrooted leaked 2.2 since it came out, and have had zero problems until today.
My phone ran out of batteries, and after I plugged it in and turned it on, It got stuck in a boot loop.
I have tried the following to get out of the bootloop:
- take out the battery
- take out the battery and the sd card
- boot into recovery mode and restart from there
I know the official 2.3 ota is coming out soon, so I want to fix my phone and also be able to upgrade to that once it is out.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
UPDATE:::
I finally just booted into recovery mode and wiped data/factory reset and it fixed it.
Then I just easily re-downloaded all the apps from the market on my browser and I'm back to normal.
Thanks!
prob gonna have to sbf or try a factory reset first... hadn't heard or read that one yet

Go back to recovery and wipe data
SBF, it's not hard, may even have to do it twice - I had some random issues like that too, SBF, now all factory stock, waiting for official update.

IT WILL STILL BOOTLOOP IF YOU JUST SBF. You still need to go into recovery and wipe data
Link to the Motorola help page on how to manual wipe (sorry I can't hyperlink because I'm a forum newbie)

Yeah, you are correct, I always wipe first, didn't think about making it an explicit step.
