Dj steve 1.5 FROYO troubles. please help

im trying the tutorial below but i have a lot of questions, ive read the stickies to get flashboot working and stuff but i dont understand...
thanks for helping
1) in step 1, i have to move the ZIP to the memory card, do i move the ZIP or do i move the folder? also do i have to rename it?
2) in step 2 it said it is only needed if i have a built older than 1.2, where can i find my built?
3) in the last few steps it tells me to flash the 1.5 update, how do i do that?
1. Copy the update zip to your memory card first
Steps 2-4 are only needed if you are coming from a build OLDER than 1.2
2. Power down your streak and boot into fastboot
do this by pressing power until the keypad lights come on then HOLD camera until you get to a white screen, then tap on the fastboot text in top right corner,
3. Connect your streak to pc - the text on streak should change to FASTBOOT_MODE.
you should place the amss.mbn file into the same folder as fastboot on your pc
run the following commands from command prompt on your pc
Windows:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
Linux
Code:
fastboot flash amss amss.mbn
4. Type the following commands to reboot your streak - again alow it to boot into the main ui - you will lose network connection for the moment, this is fine, also streak WILL reboot twice before booting, again this is normal
Windows:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Linux
Code:
fastboot reboot
5. Once your device has booted shut down again and boot into clockwork recovery by doing the following
boot to recovery as per step 1 then choose option 2.
6. Flash the 1.5 update zip
7. reboot

how do i flash recovery image

i installed djsteves 1.6.0 , but i dont know how to flash the recovery clockwork mod image to phone.....i used the qdltool to put rom on....but can figure out the flash part....no indept instructions on using the cmd window, step 8 to 11 on streakdroid guide,.....or is there another way to do it....like putting it on my sd card through usb

Qdl doesn't give you streakdroid. How did you get 1.6.0 without a custom recovery? Qdl will give you build 305 which is a stock pre-release build. From there follow the instructions in the streakmod thread tobinstall the streakmod recovery. Then you can install streakdroid.
Dell Streak powered by StreakDroid 1.7.0

i put 1.6.0 file on my sd card and went through the steps at the guide on streadriod site.....dled qdltool and other files and drivers....when booted it said 2.2 with 305
but i could not get clockwork mod on my sd so i can boot into it and install .zip from sd card clockwork
on the guide to flash boot to phone i coudnt do it.....want to find a more detailed steps on getting clockwork flashed

ok, have you got Fastboot on your pc? if so, just find it on your pc, and open up a window, then hold left-shift and right click within that window(without actually clicking on an actual file), and click on open command line(or similar) then just type in the instructions, which look to be correct.
if you dont have the android SDK installed:http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
download and install the one that is pertinent to your operating system. install it directly on C drive. then open it up, doubleclick tools, and without clicking on any files, hold in left shift and right-click, andchoose 'open command line here', then type in the commands you had in your post. Hope it helps.

thanks alot stoney73 , will try this.....i have android sdk installed....and will try it and post back

[HOW TO] Revert to latest stock ROM (GRI40)

I personally have tried lots of ROM's but all I really want is the stock ROM with the option to root if I want. After lots of research, I couldn't find a comprehensive tutorial on how to do this. There is of course the GRI40 image available in update.zip format for custom recoveries which is helpful for most. However, if your a bit anal like me, and want the official update directly from Google servers, follow this guide. This might also be helpful for people who can't get into the custom recovery any more.
NOTE: I will not provide help for anybody. This guide assumes you have the Android SDK in order to use adb. There may be other ways of doing this, I am not an experienced programmer, this works for me, it will work for you.
[GUIDE]
Download the following files:
Stock Froyo Image (Contains stock recovery image)
Stock GRI40 Image
Instructions
You first have to revert to stock Froyo image to get the stock recovery back. This is needed to install the GRI40 update ZIP
1. Disable backup my settings under privacy settings.
2. Unzip the original Froyo shipping ROM and put it somewhere you can find
3. Plug in Nexus One with USB to computer (enable USB Debugging)
4. Open command prompt, navigate to SDK folder which contains adb. Type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(which will boot into the bootloader)
5. Confirm fastboot connection with
Code:
fastboot devices
6. Type
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
7. Type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
*If step 6 and 7 does not work, and if you have a custom recovery installed, you can do a factory data wipe from there. Also perform a dalvik-cache wipe.
Alternately, you can also do a factory data wipe within Android. Settings => Privacy Settings => Factory Data Reset.
8. Go to the directory that you stored your unzipped files from the official Froyo ROM, for ease of use, copy these into the directory containing adb.exe
9. Type
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
10. Type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
11. Type
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
12. Type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
13. Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
14. Once phone has started, skip all account setup. Copy the new GRI40 .zip from Google servers to the root of your SD card. Ensure it has been renamed to update.zip if necessary.
15. Reboot into bootloader mode (hold trackball when switching on), select recovery, you will see an exclamation mark with a little green Android.
16. Hold power button and press Vol. Up to see recovery menu. Select 'Apply: Update.zip'
17. After the system boots up and while setting up skip setting up with the google account and you can setup accounts later. This will prevent the phone from pulling down the previous settings (downloaded apps, wallpaper etc) from google.
18. You are done. Enjoy.
If you want to root:
Download the following:
Latest Clockworkmod Recovery
su.zip
Instructions
How to root the stock ROM
1. Download su.zip and copy to root of your SD card
2. Download a recovery image file and for ease of use, copy into same directory containing fastboot on your PC
3. Turn on USB debugging and connect phone to PC
4. Open command prompt, navigate to SDK folder which contains adb. Type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(which will boot into the bootloader)
5. Type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where 'recovery.img' is the name of your recovery image file (easy thing to do is rename the file to 'recovery.img'!)
6. It will upload, once complete, disconnect you phone from computer
7. On your phone, select Bootloader, then Recovery to boot into your new recovery
8. Now select ‘Apply Update.zip’ and find the su.zip file (Turn off signature verification if using Amon RA)
Note:Custom recovery will be overwritten with the stock recovery on reboot but root privelages will still be in place.

No need to do that. Flash the stock rom. Done.

You mean you can flash the official GRI40 zip from Google server with a custom recovery?

Yes!
Make sure it's the full image (80+meg), and not just the update (40+ meg). Recovery should restore to stock after a reboot...

Well that serves me right for assuming Google would not allow an official update zip to install from a custom recovery!
Did the official update ZIP from Google come out after dsixda made his own update zip then?
The link above is for the full update zip from Google (80MB or so)

usually the official updates come out and people edit them to allow root, busybox, etc.
or just a stock rom that won't over write your custom recovery, etc.

Thanks for this. I have been looking for a stock image all morning!

rooting question

I want to know if there is any security risks having the phone rooted. Or open doors for potential exploits?
I have Factory Unlock (US version) with
Android 2.2.2 (stocked)
Baseband GAUS1A134700-US
KERNEL 2.6.32.9-perf
Build 15274
Is this right files for my phone -->>>>
Android Version 2.2.2
baseband : GAUSB1A34500-US
KERNEL version : 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM : GAUSB1A134500
Build : 15380
1. Then copy over the file Superuser.zip Attachment 545097 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...hmentid=545097) into
SD card. This is the Superuser app
2. Turn off your phone and flash to fastboot menu
3. unzip streakmod-recovery Attachment 545093 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...hmentid=545093) to you computer
4. flash recover.img >> fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery-SU.img (or whatever you renamed the recovery file to)
5. reboot >> fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
6. go to recovery mode (volume rocker up+down+power button key)
7.select install ZIP from sdcard
8.select choose zip from sdcard
9.select superuser.zip file you downloaded earlier, and apply it
10.select yes - install superuser.zip
11.confirm it says "Install from sdcard complete"
12.select go back
13.select reboot
14.done!
*** this is not my work. I simply copy & pasted from another XDA forum***
Please ignore this if this is not a right place to ask this question --
some stuffs i paid to have and some i don't really want to pay.
Any trusted forums for me to get some apps or games? because of the virus roaming around, i don't want to download random from google.
thanks

Hi,
it seems to be that your boot.img is faulty.
Put your device in bootloader (fastboot) mode.
Download the ROM which you wanted to install ,again and grab the boot.img and the recovery.img (if there is one)
Open ADB:
Type in: adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot.img
When it is complete , type this command in to flash recovery.img (if there is one)
fastboot flash recovery.img
Doesn't matter if your device don't start correctly , you will be able to get in recovery and flash the rom again.
