Streak dead? - Streak 5 General

I bought a used streak from a guy off amazon. Upon turning it on it appeared to work so i turned it off put my sim card in and the thing has not turned back on since. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas?

Sure its charged? Maybe the battery isn't holding a charge?

I had the same problem as you. I tried the following:
(1) I took the battery out and then plugged it into the mains and tried to turn it on. It came to life with an image of a battery with a question mark in it? (2) I then put the battery back in, and it told me to (3) push the power on button after (4) replacing the back cover (very smart!). It was fine after that. (5) Then give it a good charge, min. 1 hour. So if your Streak appears completely dead, don't panic like I did, just follow steps 1 to 5 above.

On stock ROM the back cover must be on to make it work.

Oh. I didn't even think he didn't put the back cover on. That was too implied. Forget that you just got it.

Anyone have a Samsung Epic 4G for sale

Mines was stolen from me and then i found out i didnt have any insuance.
That sucks. Check the xda marketplace, or ebay. Same thing happened to me a couple months ago but it randomly called me 5 days later and I got it back (it ended up in another city). Funny thing was I offered the guy 30 bucks as a reward and he wouldn't take it but I found out on the drive home the sd card was missing lol.

The battery is probably dead by now, but you should've installed Plan B from the market to locate it.

lol i just sold one for 150 shipped yesterday and it was basically brand new.
sucks to hear

wish me luck this weekend.

Got to bring the wife's epic into Sprint for a hardware issue. It appears the phone speaker isn't working. Thought it was Cm7 issue but flashed back to stock EL30 (btw thanks to who ever got that for us) with modem still no sound at all. Copied all her data off onto the computer formated the card then copied some stuff back like her pictures and music. Hopefully they won't give me a hard time I am paying for the extended. I am kind of hoping they will offer a upgrade to the touch.
Any suggestions would be grateful.
Good luck!
Gotta figure out the angle to take. Whether to pull a complete phone "What's root? Is that some kind of new Pokemon?" angle. Or the "Yeah I am alright with Android, I just hit a bump. Help me out?"
I usually play stupid. With the added nicety.
You should be fine on the service issue. Good luck on the upgrade attempt.

I doubt they'll upgrade you - my speaker broke and I had a tiny crack on the slider point and they made me pay for a referb even though I was 3 weeks away from an upgrade... so needless to say I didn't upgrade lol

They might depending if the phone is on back order and if they don't have refurbs....just a big "if"

If it is the loudspeaker they have the ability to replace it in store if they have the part. Should only take around an hour maybe more if they are super busy.

Nice thanks for the heads up.
Haven't used the insurance tep on this phone since I got it.(about 16months). I feel like I've wasted abunch a $$$. My phone has normal wear and tear. I want a new phone or else stop paying ins. I found a used epic in good shape for $125..

bummer good luck
Our headset speaker broke. I bought another one on eBay, split the display, replaced the speaker and it still didn't work. Took it to sprint, paid $35 and they swapped the entire display /top slider. They said they don't split the display as the policy is to swap put the entire piece. Problems solved go us
Oh yeah, I also had no insurance and was well over a year onto ownership of the phone.

No that's only for custom kernels and happens when the rgb values in voodoo control are too high and your screen is too bright

If he did pay the esn is cleared. I got an evo 4g that way. I bought with a bad esn more than a year ago when they were going for 300. I paid 200 just cause of the bad esn. A few months later I went to a friend at sprint and she checked it for me and it was cleared. Only way to get a bad esn is to report it stolen or not pay the bill. I'm sure the guy eventually paid the bill

Hey Kenny I'll trade you a cracked screen for that non cracked one you got there...

hellototem.com just offered me 30 bucks for my cracked screen epic. they dont even sell on ebay. i listed it at 5 dollars on a 3 day auction, and it didnt sell. gazzelle.com offered .85 cents.
needless to say i think ill take the 30 dollars offered by hellototem seeing as how i almost cant give this phone away.

Thanks Bmoreboy! It arrived today...nice glue job! I tried everything to get it into download mode but no dice. I got a little knife and sliced away at the glue. It ripped off part of the keyboard including the 1 key.....but miracle it still pressed in. Got it in download mode and odin'd FC09....passed but still stuck on Samsung. Repartitioned, EFS clear and it almost booted once except really really slow. After 20 minutes of the Galaxy S screen I figured I would try Odin again. Still stuck on Samsung. Tried everything from DI18 to EH17 to FC09. I guess it is the wierdest Brick I ever seen. Tried Heimdall too. They all pass and reboot.
If you need the screen Nube, it's yours. But the protective case is glued to it too.

since my steak is a ***** I give up on it. I was thinking of selling it for parts.
Its an aws version, I have original battery plus 3 after market ones, data cable and a tpu and rubber outter box cases and extra screen protectors. If theres any interest I'll post up pics.
Ps the screen/digitizer is in perfect working condition.
I am open to offers if any one needs parts.

I switch cells between my blackberry and streak, I put the sim card back in the streak one day and it was boot looping. So I figured Id install streakmod recovery and flash a new rom. That didnt work as it went back into a boot loop. I tried qdl and streakflash and still nothing. Tried going back to stock and still nothing. So F it lol. Its good for parts and lcd/digitizer since the price of them is threw the roof.

boot loop? hmm.. did you try all the wipe data / wipe cache /wipe dalvik cache / sreakmod factory reset / dell factory reset
and last but not least... format the external sd?
I did everything and anything, in all I must have spent a good 65 hrs total.
I really love my streak cause it basically replaced my playbook and crackberry.
I cant figure it out and I just dont care any more lol. Every time I look at it I wanna throw it to a brick wall.

Well I picked up an s2 so I gotta try to recoop some funds.

Fried Epic

I know this is unfixable but I want to see if you guys could know why this happened. A few months ago in winter 2012 my sister epic 4G got rained on and her battery is now pink. But nothing happened .now yesterday while she was charging her phone the charger blew and her micro USB port was broke. Just when you think it couldn't get worse when I let her use my battery I turn her phone on and it was bootlooping like crazy. When it finally booted It was stuck in safe mode and when you unlocked the phone it would reboot. I then went into recovery to wipe and it was frozen in recovery. Then when I reboot it (Battery Pull) kept rebooting into recovery. Then I kicked it out of recovery with the home button but the volume keys weren't working in recovery so I couldn't wipe. I think she has major bad luck. I never experienced something like this EVER. She in contract until July 2013 so she can't easily switch. She still in college so she needs her phone. Why do you think all this happened? She is also stock FC09 not rooted.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Water damage doesn't immediately "show itself" sometimes... probably a delayed reaction to the water damage...
It is also possible the USB port is shorting which caused the charger to blow and the strange behavior. Try with the battery out, clean the phone port with 91% alcohol using a toothbrush. Let it dry for a half hour. Then see if you can get it into download mode and reflash stock FC09 through odin.
Ahh its done no responce with USB At all . Its officially Dead. When I wiggled the USB after cleaning the port like you said to get Odin to see it. No responce. I don't know what to tell her. She's gonna have to find an old sprint phone 1 Less Epic 4G .

Still available... doesn't look like the other 2 will be contacting me... pm me if interested...

I'll go more in dept. She said the guy at sprint looked at her phone. Didn't even check the battery and said it looks like the phone has water damage. And to get it replace she has to buy insurance then file a claim.
