Dear All experience developers,
I am actually a newbie, If what I said is wrong please correct it, I post this post here because I think it's related to developer rather than others, even it's talking about de-brick.
I have a black DELL STREAK (31800-EU), but because I have done something wrong (fastboot erase system -w, and it hanged at erasing CATCH, and I disconnect the cable and pull-out battery to go to recovery and install .pkg file), it's now seem completely dead with nothing happen no matter what combination key I use (Vol-Up + Vol-Down + Power, Camera + Power, Vol-Up + plug USB cable for QBL) nothing happen for me).
As I go around, I saw the teardown page http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/2, they have mentioned that there is a secondary 2GB microSD used to house the system and data, so DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT WE COULD DE-BRICK MY DELL BY RE-WRITE THIS HOLD 2GB CARD WITH A IMAGE FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS HIS DELL IN WORKING?
Question to all experience developers,
I know all you guys are really strong understading about DELL Streak,
Q1- In the teardown page, they found 2GB microSD + Hynix H8BES0UU0MCR NAND-based MCP, so microSD should be ROM and the Hynix... should be device RAM, isn't it?
Q2- What is a NAND backup means, when you guy used to do it on other Android devices, is it a full backup of device ROM?
Q3- I maybe can try to use 1 of your provided NAND backup file to byte-copy to a new 2GB microSD for test.
Thanks.
first question, what were you trying to achieve by running that command!
second, could you not push a new image over to it via fastboot? removing it cleared the memory and it seems theres nothing there for it to boot from, so you'd have to try and get the sd card out (does involve tearing the whole thing apart, have done it myself) to see if you can restore anything to it.

Firstly I have owned a G1, and dev just say try to wipe system before you flash new ROM to avoid boot loop, so I just follow it.
Currently, the phone is completely not boot even fastboot or Qualcom Dianostic mode. And that is why I am trying to ask someone if they could byte copy their internal 2G SD for me and I can try to tear my phone out to retore the SD.
Please kindly advide me if I could have other option to retore the SD, I can try to tear my phone out.
Thanks, Ratha
Please tell me this was resolved as I have encoutered basically the very same thing. My phone... well brick, won't do a damn thing. Very appreciative of anyone who is willing to help.
Have you tried qdltool? I think the os is on the nand not the 2gb internal card, so if its fubar'd I don't think there is a way to fix it. Turn off your streak and hold volume up as you plug it into your computer, if your computer detects it then there may he hope via qdltool. I'm a noob also so take that for what its worth.

hi, I had very similar prob. but after a sleepless night I found CAMERA button work as power button. so wht I did, press and hold vol up and camera button thn plug the usb in pc. it should bring u diagnostic mode. press and hold camera button thn plug the usb it will bring u fastboot. after just use qdl tool.it work for me. u can try. but the prob is ever since I did tht I always need usb power to start mobile and battery health doesnt show.

Honestly, above solution is a bit strange but it worth a try please try and confirm. If this does not work then the only solution is to JTAG your device using Riff Box which will resurrect your mobile BUT!! from my experience and others in this forum and other forums your device will not recognize the SIM card any more. Therefore, take care. Once you try Riff Box, please leave a feedback of your experience.

I can bring your Streak back to life using JTAG. Just pm me if you are interested. I help hundreds a month on many of the Galaxy S variants and can perform similar methods to bring the Streak back to life.

Hello,
I tried to update the radio and the SPL version on my Tattoo. Everything went fine until I had to reboot my phone. It shut down alright, but it never powered on again.
These are the following problems I am having with my Tattoo at the moment:
Cannot power on phone.
Cannot boot into recovery mode.
Cannot boot into FastBoot.
When I connect it to my computer via USB, nothing happens.
The only thing that it's responding to is when I connect my it to my charger.
Does anyone have a solution or is my phone dead forever?
Thanks ahead!
bump? anyone?
Send it back to HTC. If anyone can do anything about it they can. There's nothing else you can do. Sorry
boo.. that sucks..
Well, thanks anyway
Ehm, I don't want to post a New Thread so I'm gonna ask here:
Does anyone have the pinout for the Tattoo?
Take a look at this. I guess they fix such things (but you never know if they just are after your money. http://www.ort-jtag.com/index.php
Yeah I saw that already. Also, there is a file name Tattoo Jtag on their website in the Support section. However, to access that section you have to enter your products serial number (which is I'm guessing the phone's serial number). I have tried several serial numbers (including mine) and all of them were 'invalid' so I never checked the files out.
Also, they only have one thing in the shop which is a kit and it costs $330 so no thanks
I have a similar problem, I would like to share my knowledge although I must be completely out of way.
My experience is based on the BeagleBoard and Angstrom so I really don't know the HTC HW and Android at all...
- The device boots from an xloader that instructs the device how to proceed with the boot
- the bootloader takes place (great u-boot in the beagleboard ?? in the HTC phone) the bootloader allows for ROM or kernel+rootfs flashing and much more
- now the kernel is loaded.....
User mode applications do not allow to have access to the memory area where xloader and u-boot lie so they should be safe all the time to allow for device reflashing.
So we should have access to the device via bootloader anytime if we knew how... maybe somebody can help us further.

Same here...Exact same issue...No Recovery mode...No USB Connectivity, Screen turns on but is blank, alhough I did see Tattoo popping up initially but not any more...All I can see is the LCD back light turns on...Battery does charge...Also when I try to enter Recovery mode screen keeps blinking as if it is trying to restart again and again...Someone help
similar problem here, but i get absolutely no response from the phone, it doesn't even recognize the charger. do i just throw it away and buy a decent one or is there a solution?
Sparky the only way for now to fix that click is to bring it to some service point that have that ort jtag, because only way to fix that is to writte new boot sector on phone . Im sure that i know at least 2 services that have ort jtag in Novi Sad . Look for marvel *Miroslav in Ns, or send me private message
same thing happened to me
just this morning, and in desperation I tried hard to remove the batt cover (prob pressed some of buttons, I felt a jerk and ho it was back in amon ra`s recovery, nect time I just removed the battery waited for 30 secs, then press off&home and hold it till recovery came back) but for good half hour NO REACTIONS , ABSOLUTE BRICK, nothing when I put the usb in PC or in socket, dead screen, no sounds and no reaction to ANY combination of keypress. I guess you could call me lucky (in last few days I flashed at least 3 versions of froyo roms, this afternoon I bought =8GB class4 Kingston, formated it in PC FAT32 default size, copied EVE. from my 2gig rom then just turned it down (yes I am brave) and put the 8gig in tattoo, it works like a charm (finger crossed it will continue)
So is there an available Jtag for the Tattoo yet?
I'm in the same situation. No recovery no fast boot, Damm!
I`ve update psfreedom with psgroove_hermes_v4 zip file then my tattoo reboot and now I only get the Tatto title screen but nothing happends.
Somebody have clue to give back life my phone.
Thanks!
if you can get to the title screen, that means you can connect it to your pc via USB and recover from a backup (I hope you made one)

You have to enter in fastboot.
Hold volume down and turn on phone.

Sorry but as i said before, I can't access to recovery menu neither fast boot menu.
Dear all.. i have problem with my streak 5.. which is my streak become dead after failed running clock recovery,, no dell logo,no power up and windows can not detect my dell.. i try volume+power button still failed and then camera+power button still failed too.. any suggestion what would i do?? thanks before..
try to connect ur streak to power supply > press camera button and then power button for a few second. After ur streak on , flash streakmod recovery ( I prefer use it than clockwork) . Install rom that u want.
what do you mean by connect to power suply???
I mean power supply adapter for batt charging. Maybe ur batt drain completly. Or u can try to charge batt with desktop charger. Coz if batt completly drain , it cannot be charge by charger if u put it on the phone.
i try using another batt from another dell streak5 and stil the same result.. no power up.. is it hardwere failure???
Search for a topic/tutorial called Streakflash or QLDTool
i already try to use those tools but the problem is my windows can not detect streak..
When all other options are drained I guess you can take a shot at jtag recovery. I did a quick search and came up with at least two different hardware solutions that claims to support "dell mini 5" and/or "dell streak", I'm sure there are more available. This of course requires that there is no hardware fault, but plainly a bad flash.
www_riffbox_org RIFF Box
www_ort-jtag_com ORT-JTAG
I guess another option is to send the phone to a repairshop that does Dell phones.
@daniel: thanks for a good info..
@all: thanks for reply my question..

it wont do straight away you need to install the driver
if you hold down vol up(i think aint used it in a while) connect your streak to your pc, the go into devise manager and install the required driver then run qdl tool

Google multi recovery flasher. Load it on your C drive and open it in cmd. Start your Streak in Fastboot, connect the two via usb, then in the DOS screen select the recovery you want to try. You might want to scan over the instructions that come with it, but its pretty simple and worked on the first try for me.
Good luck!
did you read what i write?
power button does not work.
is not possible to turn on device, is not possible to get fastboot mode.
on board: Steakdroid 2.3
phone is bricked due pc failure during loading stock recovery.
what i can to do before sending this brick to service?
-just send, warranty will be probably valid.
-create other damage for masking unsuccessful flash
What does happen when you connect to the wall charger, does it recognize the charger. If your answer is no, then your device is totally bricked and the only way is to resurrect it using JTAG. BUT BUT, it is not sure that your mobile will be total functional i.e. you will not be able to use the SIM card. The device will be as WiFi only. Hence, it is better to send it to service if it is still under warranty.
Brick not!
OMG! your Dell streak is not brick dude. QDLtool is your best friend, now go and learn how to use it.
Here is the link: http://streakdroid.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=2
Download streakflash.zip and unzip to your desktop
Download qdtooll-to-309-repairtool.zip and unzip to your desktop
With Dell Streak in off mode, press and hold Volume up while plug in your data cable (I know you have done this ... yeah .. yeah)
Start up QDLTool.exe in unzipped folder streakflash and select RUN.
(should you get driver error then search, download and install then start again)
Start up QDLTool.exe in unzipped folder qdtooll-to-309-repairtool and select RUN.
On completion, Dell will boot into Android 2.2
Job Done.
FYi, my Dell Streak was in various dead conditions (including what your is now - by accidentally removed my data cable while flashing a new Rom LOL) and every times I was able to recovered with QDLTool.
If this is beyond then you are better of return it to base for service. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

streakflah obviously that can not be used. My advice is service. They would hardly know it is flash. Format your memory card on another device before sending it.

Not necessary, issue maybe drivers corrupted on the PC. Pressing volume up while inserting the data cable will have no response on the PC apart from a beep sound. It is only until QDLTool prompted Driver error otherwise.
new to this forum stuff but not to technology. Got a thinker here. Problem: impulse 4g u8800-51 has no hardware problems but will not power on. How it happend: i was in windows 7 doing a format of a USB HD when i formatted the whole phones HD. after format completed phone powered off. I've spent about a month trying everything i can. from lsusb in linux to trying using USB scanner / pc interface cable to get communication with the device with the computer. anybody have any ideas. cuz im just about start taking it apart to see what i can do with its parts but i'll check it out here first.
It seems like your EMMC card is wiped. The problem is that PBL on SOC wants to load DBL from EMMC (mmcblk0p3), and it doesn't exist so the device won't boot.
Currently, we have not discovered a way to restore from this kind of brick, so JTAG is probably the only way to do it at home. Who knows, there may be a way to restore from this brick but as said, no one has discovered it.
I dont know if this will helps but once I also did something stupid and formatted the partitions via CWM, (which is different from your case) so if you may power up your phone using the 2 volume + power button maybe this link will help you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23834865&postcount=6

ok im going to buy the jtag box to fix this phone which one should i buy?
Hello everyone,yesterday i was trying to create swap memory for my rooted tablet using sd card.
I completed three partitions successfully fat32,ext3 and swap.
Then i installed busybox and used swapper...checked the option to create swap at bootup in swapper.
Everything was running well until i rebooted my tablet
It just crashed,now the tablet wont go in download mode nor does it shows the charging icon even if plugged for 4-5 hours.
I had purchased it in new Zealand so the warranty is not covered in india.service centre is not able to repair it even if i pay becuse they dont have the rom and spare parts for this model.I told them i have the rom they still dont agree.Is this a hardware problem or software issue ?
The only option for me would be to courier it to nz and then it would cost me 10000 rs in total..can anyone help me out.many of the repair personnel said they could do it for 3000 rs but i have this strong feeling that they would replace the original parts with fake chinese one even if they are in working condition.
If any one can give me a working procedure step by step and i am able to get my tab to work,i will be really thankful and gift 3000 rs in his/her bank account.
Tab is 9.7 spen Lte version
Thank-you

Take the card out. Ensure the device is plugged in to mains. Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME until the device restarts and you see download mode.
Reflash the stock firmware.

I could've sworn I asked if windows detected the device, but can't see it? [emoji54]
Also you're saying the device crashed. Are you certain it didn't actually just die because the battery was depleted?
I would certainly be trying a different mains charger before condemning the tablet.

You can't flash anything until you can access download mode. You can only access download mode using the 3 button combo.
