[Q] Stock ATT to Steve's Froyo 1.4.6 - Possibly bricked?

Hey Guys,
First off I'm new to the streak. Picked mine up from my local best buy today. I read the PDF for beginners. Got mine rooted. Installed clockworkmod through Fastboot. Tried installing Steve's Froyo. Everything was going fine. It did the two reboots after the .mbn file. But when I flashed the rom in clockwork mod the notification bar didn't do it's thing all the way. Then it rebooted and hung on the dell logo.
I tried using fastboot to flash the recovery image but that requires access to the sd card once you but the phone into recovery.
I'm totally lost! Been trying to get my phone back to life for hours and I'm having no luck.
Can anyone help?

It was discused already!!!
Just do a factory reset and after, try to boot normaly.
Or do factrory reset, reflash the update.zip and so...
In most cases that helps!

G'day,
I wouldnt always trust the "update bar"... Quite a few times for me it seems to "abort early", though it has still worked fine.
Did you give it 8 or so mins to boot?... When you first flash it can take quite awhile for the initial boot.

Get the qdltool and install 2.2 that way... Easiest safest way...

I did a factory reset last night and it hung on the logo. Just did it again after seeing your post and it's still hanging on the logo. Been about 15 minutes now. Any suggestions?

Yes...I gave it at least 8 minutes to boot. It got stuck on the dell logo so after several minutes I went to the forums to see if there was a fix. It probably had between 20-30 minutes before I started doing anything else to it.

Where would I find the qdtool? That's if I can fix this thing.
Any other suggestions guys? I'm really pissed at myself for this happening and my wife is going to give me hell for dropping almost $600 US on a phone and bricking it.

Thanks bro. I'm actually a little afraid to try and upgrade. I ended up figuring out a way to unbrick my streak. I downloaded the recovery image and flashed that via fastboot. Then I manually loaded the o2 1.6 package on my sd card (couldn't access it through my phone because it was stuck on the dell logo). Flashed to o2 1.6 and then to 2.1. 2.1 is soooo much better than 1.6. And coming from a captivate it runs super fast even at stock.
I'm really happy I made the leap to the streak even with all the problems in the first two days. It's funny how both phone can run android but flashing and updating can be so different on each.
So I guess my question is...is Steve's Froyo worth it? I have my phone set up how I want it. It's quick, stable (except I don't think wifi is working, but that's okay because I have unlimited 3g) and polished. I'm not sure I want to be dealing with orientation locks and any other bugs that might be involved.
Anybody have an opinion on that?

Does this work for black streaks? Is this the easiest way to update.

New StreakDroid Site

Looks like there is a new StreakDroid site. Hope im not dropping the ball on this but I needed to re-download the qdl tool as I just tried to flash Steve's 1.9.0 and im stuck in a boot loop. There are no downloads listed on the new site, so if anyone is willing to upload the current repair tool id sincerely appreciate it. My streak is my only phone, sooooo I got nothin right now.
Any help is appreciated

Try doing a factory reset from the first menu, re-flash the rom, then factory reset again. That always stops the boot loop for me.
I know DJ Steve was asking for help in keeping the site maintained, so it may be just in the process of being re-designed - haven't looked.

Do a factory reset from the stock recovery screen after the flash. 1.9.0 had been the dell logo boot loop fixer to me for weeks.

Ok thanks. Going to try again at work as my netbook is there and I have all I need on the computer. Got it back to 351 official for now.

Wireless and networks force close

Hi,
I have a problem with my Streak running dell upgrade 2.2.2. Yesterday i was using the wifi hotspot and also tried to turn om the usb which resulted in force close
After this i cant acces Wireless & networks in Settings, results in force close. Have tried reboot and battery out but no luck.
Any suggestions? Factory reset?
Thanks

May not hurt to download the factory update.pkg to your SD card and flash it over your current ROM without doing a factory reset and see if that clears it up for you.
If I were you though, I would root it if you haven't done so already and also install StreakMod. Once you have that done, you can boot into the StreakMod recovery and clear cach and dalvik cache and see if that helps.
But if you are all stock, it won't hurt one bit to flash a stock ROM on top of what you already have. If you are unlocked, then you can use 354

Thanks for reply and suggestion. I dont have root and it seems like Dell no longer provide their 2.2.2 update. Whats the 354?

You can download ROMs here.
Is your Streak locked to AT&T? If it is, there was no 2.2.2 version for your phone, but you can use BB 351 or 354.
Lots of info about how to flash a rom is available, you can try the links in my signature to find more info or search.

Thanks. My phone is bought in sweden and not locked to any carrier. I used the 351 update provided by dell right away when I got my streak two months ago. The problem actually went away yesterday and i guess i will have to see how it turns out.

constant force closures no matter what rom i install

basically as title says , no matter which rom after reboot i get constant f.c and cant get nowhere

Just a guess here, but maybe your internal SD card is going bad.

what happens if i change it? is it just a case of swapping it like for like? then the streak will set it up? i also cant access fastboot mode now tried using qdl tool but it cant access fastboot mode

is my streak goosed, cant get access to fastboot
o guys basically after flashing a rom my phone went bad, now i cant get access to fastboot, ive tried using the qdl tool but it also cant access flashboot, is there something else can do to get it back, it just sits at the dell logo

I just want to clarify that I am talking about the internal sd card, not the one behind the battery cover. I swapped mine out and the phone took care of setting it up and I flashed a stock rom to start off. No sweat. I also used a 4GB as the original was 2GB. Now I have plenty of room for apps and whatever without having to install apps on my external sd card. There are lots of posts here and on modaco that will guide you through disassembling your streak, if that's the route you want to take. Some of them have pictures as well. Another good site to check out is ifixit.com. They have a picture guide on the streak's disassembly as well. I can't help you out personally with disassembly, as I just cut a hole under the battery cover to access mine. Now I can change it out at will. If your streak is still under warranty, consider replacing it that way. I don't even think they look at them to see what's wrong, so a custom rom shouldn't matter. Worse scenario, they send it back to you.

ive already tried another 2gb card in the streak (internal card) still no joy

Well then, I don't know what to tell you. You may have a different hardware problem. You say you can't access fastboot, does that include using the adb command, adb reboot-bootloader ?

Got it now. Used an older version of qdl it flashed the files successfully now I'm back
