Please help

Hi,
First may i apologise if this has already been solved, but i cant find the thread.
I have a O.2 UK streak 4399 version 21.
I followed Pauls instructions to change baseband to the t. However now I can not boot. I get stuck on the dell logo. when I try recovery it just goes to a black screen.
I think its something to do with the 'system' files or 'etc'.
Fastboot is working.
Im quite a noob, and have flashed several times. this time i dont know whats wrong?
You guys on XDA are awesome and have helped so much before, I hope you can help now.
Many thanks !
I found an old stock recovery and flashed it. thankfully now recovery works.
Back to 1.6, 4399, with no flashing led's.

I got it to boot, but I have flashing home and menu led's.
For some reason Recovery still wont work and goes to a black screen. No matter what recovery I seem to use?

Thanks but I've tried this three times now, and I always end up reverting back to 1.6 with flashing home and menu LED's.
Everything else is working but recovery. I select update from .pkg, but all i can get is a black screen. Then i have to flash 1.6 again??

Does your sd card get detected?

Same thing happened to me. I flashed the stock recovery image via fastboot and then manually loaded the o2 update package to my sd card by popping it in my mac and dragging the update.pkg to the card. Then I put it into recovery by holding the up and down volume buttons and power button. Installed package. It will reboot and you'll see the o2 logo. Then you're golden. You can upgrade to 2.1 after that if you like by flashing the 2.1 update.pkg.
I don't think you can go from stock att 1.6 to steves froyo. But that is just my experience. There is a thread in the development forum on how to upgrade and downgrade. That's where I got my info. Good luck!

rogers dell streak running stock 02 2.1

ok guys i have completed this for all you rogers customers
this was completed on a rogers locked streak
these are the steps i took
i rooted mine using universal androot (real easy !)
installed fastboot drivers
nandroided using clockwork recovery (the one that worked for me was 1.8.1.7)
then i flashed back to stock recovery
then flashed 02 1.6 (build 4399)
then flashed 02 2.1 (build 8105)
restored apn setting
now im just gonna see if i should do the hyde's 2.2 but from what ive read apps go missing in market so im gonna have to ask around
but yea for all you rogers heads it has been done !!!!

Good job, That's the exact way that I did it. It only took 10 hours or so to finally figure it all out. The one good thing about it is, it was good learning. I came from using HTC phones, they are super easy to flash ROMS with. This streak is a little harder, at least having flash over so many times.

yea i came from a g1 so i know the deal

I sent you a PM asking if you have your nandroid backup handy. If you do can you mirror it somewhere to help me out? I can't find the Rogers build 7921 anywhere to download.

can you make into a update.pkg ?

I actually don't know, but for backup reasons (warranty) it would be nice to have. I can look into making it a pkg for flashing without clockworkmod. Thanks

Ill send it to you by pm gimme a bit

I tried doing the update to O2 1.6 so I can do the update to O2 2.1, but now it's stuck on the Dell Logo.

Rogers Streakers unite!
any one of you cats, have issue still with the 720p camera corrupting when the 720p option is selected? This is even after flashing Steve's mbm

Rogers locked streak
Hello guys, I am a newbe and was wondering if one of you gurus can tell me step by step how to do this. I get the Nandroid part, I get lost on the "flashing" stock official Dell ROM, and the other builds. I dont know where to get these or how to do it.
Thanks for your help.

So close...
Hey there! I'm so close I can taste Froyo.... but:
Would love the help of some of the more experienced here. I'm at at dead end.
Goal is to get to Custom 1.4.6 Froyo ROM. Currently I get stuck on a blank screen after trying a O2 1.6 (4399) update from a restored stock recovery. I can restore my nandroid 7921 backup but it come up with a number of errors so not feeling to solid about that. Also says baseband unknown (see below).
What I have done so far:
ii. Rooted with Universal Root (I think - rooted for sure, not sure exactly if it was UR or another, but it said it worked(after 2 trys))
1. Setup Fastboot mode with no problems (no driver problems just worked)
2. Installed clockwork recovery v1.8.1.7
2b. Backed up using nandroid
3. Used fastboot to apply dsp1.bin (720p video) and amss.bin (baseband?) updates for 1.4.6
4. Flashed DJS Froyo 1.4.6
Result was installed fine but on attempted boot the classic stuck at Dell logo. Pretty sure I left it long enough (about 15 min or so). No luck.
5. Restored 7921 backup. Worked but LEDs were flashing (baseband miss match?) and received a 'battery error' (battery charging disabled).
Then saw this thread realized the path to take = Rogers 1.6 -> O2 1.6 -> O2 2.1 -> DJS Froyo 1.4.6 so have set off on that path.
6. Installed Stock Recovery with Fastboot
7. Attempted to flash O2 1.6 (4399). result was a blank screen for a long time (left about 15 minutes)
Soooooo....
Just to prove to myself I wasn't screwed I have since fastboot installed clockwork recovery and restored 7921 nandoid back-up. Only problem seems to be an error stating "sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext." It boots now but has that battery error still about not charging.
What I believe I should be doing (goal is still to get to DJS 1.4.6) is:
1. Restore recovery to stock recovery and flashing O2 1.6 (4933)
2. Flash O2 2.1 (8105)
3. Fastboot the recover to clockworks
4. Flash to DJS 1.4.6
But not sure how to get past my blank screen after restore of stock recovery and attempted flashing of o2 1.6 (4933). Have tried 2 different stock recovery images and 2 different o2 1.6 (4933) pkg files.
Would appreciate anyone who can show me the error(s) of my ways.
Thanks so much.
Cheers.

yep you should of flashed 02 1.6 first then 02 2.1 then upgraded to 1.4.6
if you can still get to recovery then you should be able to get things running again
my advice would be to try to get your baseband back to normal , not exactly sure how maybe you could find an alternate , also i think that you sd-ext could be solved by re mounting it in clockwork recovery ,ill do what i can to help you , baseband flashing is new to me

[Q] Help me please. streak error status 7

I have tried to restore with factory have tried to use the update.pkg.zip and get a problem with zip status
Error has been fixed. Thank you

Just a note of hope. I had something similar happen on a new stock att 1.6 after installing Nero backup. I was transferring from my RMA'd streak (1.6) and after restoring the backup it went into a boot loop that could not be cleared by battery removal. It would boot as far as the chromatic Dell splash and then black out and restart. I went to bed with it plugged in and recycling... In the am it was OK. It now has 2.2 and DJSteves 1.5.3 ROM w/ no other troubles. I don't believe in magic, but I don't know how it healed either... I'm sure that I saw it loop at least 25 times before I closed my eyes.
Good Luck.

Dell Streak stuck at boot animation?

Hey guys i was playing with an app called "anim mod" which allows you to change the window animations. I tried to apply one of the animations and it came up with an error message that said " instillation unsuccessful". I then pressed the menu button and clicked reboot, my phone froze so i pulled the battery out and tryed to turn the phone back on and now the phone is stuck at the boot animation. I have no backups and do not have streak mod or cwm, it will still go into fastboot and the standard recovery. Is there anything i can do to save my streak or is it dead?

what version does it say in recovery? you can download the matching pkg off the wiki, put it on your sd and restore it to that.
Keep in mind you'll lose all your data as you didnt back it up beforehand

Thanks a lot I will try later as the battery is currently low

Note to all, before you start tinkering... Install StreakMod and root your phones and do nandroid backups.... then you can play all you like...
Sorry fella, hope flashing gets you up and going again

Hey how do i find out what version the phone is? Just wondering because it doesn't say anything about the build i'm running
oh wait when i go into the software upgra via update.pkg on SD card it says GAUSB1A35100 so i'm assuming this means that my build is 351?
Edit* looking at the streak wiki that would make sense as my streak was bought unlocked from dell

i got a long error message any ideas? i placed the update.pkg on the root of the sd card should i have saved it elsewhere?

installing update..........................
asserfailed: !lessthanint(1291344359)
this was only part of the message i couldn't type it all because the phone tryed to reboot
E: Error in sdcard/update.pkg.dec
This was also part of the rror message

You need to use the 351 pkg, you may have tried to use an older version rom and it specifically checks for that

351 15609 00 Mar 17, 2011 PKG Recovery Hash Latest Retail rom
I used that one i got it off the streak wiki

delete any update.pkg.dec files and anything in the lost.dir\
are you sure it's the right pkg? if it keeps giving you an error try redownloading it

Will try thanks a lot for your help

Got the same error message even though i deleted the update.pkg.dec files although i accidently deleted the whole lost.dir folder, i might try downloading the update.pkg file again

Think i may have found the solution, perhaps the update.pkg should be renamed Update.pkg.

Nope didn't work, i really don't know what to try now any ideas?

Guys can i please have some help i'm fairly new to android and have no clue what should try next . Any more help would be much appreciated.

You might consider flashing streakmod recovery, place Streakdroid or other custom build on your SD card and flash so you can get up and running. From there you can sort the stock recovery and builds. You may find that once on Streakdroid, you won't want to go back to stock!

okay i'll try streakdroid and see how i go

Hey i choose to download simplestreak 1.2, i placed it onto my sd and put my phone in fastboot, when in command prompt what code do i use to flash the rom and reboot the phone? Sorry for being a massive pain

Hey guys I flashed streakmod and now have simple streak 1.2 working thanks for all the help

in such cases try taking out your SD card, sim out of the phone and try rebooting it. it will fail, then try to reboot it with battery pull and recovery procedure, do a factory reset it will work.
