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.

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

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

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

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!?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
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 always had to install the ADB drivers manually, before fastboot mode worked.
Here you can download a manual on how to install the drivers.

First download android sdk from

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.

hi to all, i have a problem
i have installed a ROM stakedroid 1.6.1 on my dell streak, but i wanna restore Froyo Official 2.2 ota .pkg
i have follow this guide:
1.Download the O2 2.1 (build 8105) file in this post.
2.Rename the file to Update.pkg and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
3.Download this zip file which contains a recovery for downgrading here.
4.Move the recovery.img file to wherever your fastboot.exe is.
5.Put your Streak into fastboot mode.
6.Open up command line type: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.stock.new.img
7.Hold down both the volume buttons and type: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot in command line.
8.In recovery select Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card using volume keys and camera button to select. Be patient it will take a while.
9.The Streak will reboot and you are now on O2 2.1 (build 8105).
but when i have try to restore the FROYO official rom, i have see write on display: "e: can't open"
why? what's the problem?
So it seems I have messed up my phone decently bad
decided to go back and reload everything from scratch but unfortunately flashed back a CWM version thats 3.0.1 and when I try to flash my old recovery (ICS CM9) it gives me error 7
I am guessing thats because I have to install 5.0 CWM can anyone explain to me how to do this?
Thank you so much all!
Yan
More Info:
Ok so heres the deal.
I was originally running CM9 from Nexus MV ICS rom with a Franco Kernel.
All was well and phone was rock solid for weeks since he released with everything working.
as the update came out I was told I should revert back to 2.3.6 and wait for the OTA update that way I could have the true OEM ICS. It is pretty much 90% of why I originally Rooted and unlocked my phone.
I used this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
and downloaded
Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/UCKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader
Official, signed, can flash with ClockworkMod or stock recovery. Contains recovery, radio and bootloader.
That I flashed using CWM
Phone rebooted fine but had no SuperUser file and seemed like it no longer was rooted so though if I go back and re-root it should be fine.
Went to.
http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-new/
and went straight to instruction 5) Open up a command prompt by typing “cmd” under Start->Search Programs and files.
Then type “cd \nexussrootnew” to browse into the directory in Windows. For Linux and Mac, should be similar to “cd /nexussrootnew“.
Then type “fastboot oem unlock“.
Thats when I went back to CWM 3.1.0.1 and tried to install any rom or backup and it just seems to give me Status 7 error.
I hate that I cant figure this out alone but I am a little lost.

Download CWM 5.0.2.0 and rename the .img to recovery.img
(i'll assume you have phone drivers and everything working, and fastboot)
Put the recovery.img into the same directory as your fastboot.exe
Boot into your bootmanager (vol up+power)
Plug phone into PC
Open up CMD prompt and change to the directory where you have fastboot.exe
(cd c:\android\tools) for example
type in:
> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reboot to recovery

Good morning,
I followed the tutorial here on XDA on how to basically factory reset my Nexus 7. Unfortunately, while going through all the steps I also deleted my recovery. Now I am unable to flash any recovery back on my device. I have tried flashing Clockwork, TWRP and even Google Stock recovery, but it won't work. Neither flashing via Nexus 7 toolkit nor by hand was successful, instead it always returns the following error message:
Booting into Android using an Insecure Boot Image..
cannot load "root\boot-insecure-.img' : No error
Now my Nexus 7 is in some random state, since Android 4.2.2 is installed, but rooting via the Toolkit returns the same message when it comes to the point of flashing a recovery. Then it simply skips the remaining steps and does not install the superuser app. I also downloaded and tried using the ROM Manager, but since root-access is missing, it can't do anything either.
Do you guys have any solution to this?
Help is very much appreciated!
Thanks!

Though toolkits save a lot of time, I always prefer to do stuff the manual way and I suggest you do the same. To flash the recovery do the following steps
1) a) if you are running Windows open cmd as administrator and CD into a folder containing adb and fastboot .exes
b) copy paste a downloaded recovery image in the same folder and rename it to recovery.img for simplicity.
2) boot into boot loader by pressing power volume down and volume up all together after the device is turned off
3) in bootloader enter the fastboot mode and in cmd on PC type
Code:
fastboot devices
At this moment your device should turn up in the command prompt.if it doesn't then try installing the Asus drivers and repeat the steps above carefully.
4) once all that is over type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And then the recovery must be flashed . you will get an output on cmd with the time taken to flash it too .
Then reboot into recovery and enjoy.
A succinct summary, Red Devil.
I always maintain, on a my Windows laptop, a folder called FastBootAdb, that contains the following files...
fastboot.exe
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll (needed by Windows)
AdbWinUsbApi.dll (needed by Windows)
If I wish to flash a new recovery.img (or a new boot.img - useful for certain kernels, that consists of nothing but a boot.img, like franco for example. Most custom kernels though, consist of more than just a boot.img, and need to flashed via TWRP or CWM, and can't just be fastboot flashed).
Anyway... I just copy the new recovery into this folder, rename it to recovery.img and run the fastboot command accordingly...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
...similarly with the boot partition...
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
To be honest, I'm puzzled why people feel the need to overcomplicate this very simple procedure with toolkits.
