You should use the latest version of StreakMod Recovery instead.
Lots of reports that CWM and rom manager do not work correctly on the Streak.

Hey guys bit of an update
I read a guide called "what you need to know about streak" my device wasn't booting into fastboot so i tryed to do it the manual way l. When i was scrolling down through the manafactuer list Google was not in the list so i couldn't do it the way the guide suggests. Do any of you guys know what i'm doing wrong is it that i haven't downloaded dell pc suite? And btw you guys have been really helpful to a major noob like me

To get into fastboot, off your phone if it isn't. Then power on while holding down the camera button. Keep holding the camera button till you see a white screen then just follow the instruction in the pdf guide.
Fastboot needs your pc to have the dell streak usb drivers install which iirc, the dell pc suite does. Else you can manually install it too.
Okay thanks so i need to install PC suite or download the streak drivers

Unless you are on Android 1.6 you don;t need PC Suite. Download the drivers from here.
You can also try plugging your phone in with the usb cable while it is in fastboot mode, windows will probably install the drivers automatically (let it search the web).

It is probably best to read up before you do such things with you phone.
Try the beginners manual first.
Can be downloaded here
Good luck.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver but do not work ... the problem continues
Try uninstalling the drivers and moving your streak to a different usb port. I'm not sure why but that's what fixed my problem. Also if you are on a 64 bit operating system the drivers seem to be slightly different. Believe there is a thread on modaco about it.

You right Krad, I was looking at the adb commands thinking that something wasnt right.
Also yarco, it would help if you spelled recovery right
So the correct command line(if the recovery img is called recovery.img is:
fastboot flash -i 0x413c recovery recovery.img
tbh, you shouldnt need more than a few seconds, it flashed really quickly. so if you can type that one command in 40 secs, dont worry about the drivers for now.

Good!
Does your device say:
"wait for USB fastboot detect...."
or
"FASTBOOT_MODE"

Send back DELL for warranty ?
If you see logo it is not dead...
Follow the qdl directions and put the phone into special mode with black screen... once you get to 305.. flash streakmod recovery and then flash 351 or 354 update.zip. upon install completion do a battery pull and not a reboot and you should be good.... if you get flashing lights just update baseband from the wiki directories for whatever you flash.

Open your dell streak, put internal SD card in card reader. Format it to fat 32 then put it on your phone => Reboot => Phone will re-format your card and copy system g luck

Isn't the system sd supposed to be a linux format?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
No.
/10char
so why do i gotta pull out the internal and format it??? and once i format it to fat32 do just go back into the recovery and install???
try using the option fix permissions and clear the dalvik cache and see if that helps i find this usually fixes my force close problems not only on my streak but on many android devices hope this helps good luck
Step 1: What's in your install.txt?
If you want to go back to stock, fastboot the recovery of the stock rom you need/ want then put the update.pkg on ur sdcard and restore from there.

Very simple from here.........
Flash streakmod recovery and flash the update.zip for 351.... when it says done or complete, you must do a battery pull.... then on reboot it should come up stock...
The newer streaks crap out on reboot with external sd not being registered. A battery pull will get the external ad recoginized. I spent 3 hours teoubleshooting a newer streak and found I had to flash via streakmod and battery pull or it would never work

ive tried to flash stock roms from 345 to 347 to 351 to 353 to 354 and none of them work all i keep gettin is constant restarts my streak will load up and reboot and then get stuck on the dell logo....my streak i got back in december and it had stock android 1.6 on it...ive been troubleshooting this problem for about a month now and still no real explenation i feel like i just got a paper weight now i spent the money on this phone and im stuck wit a crappy old samsung.....
what stock rom were you using? 2.1 or 1.6
may sound silly but if it was 2.1 try 1.6 and see if that gives you any joy
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.

Hello all, I just updated the baseband on my streak due to data issues. It fixed the problem for me. The problem is my mother bought a streak shortly after I did and I've kept it updated right along with mine. She has the basband that I was on, 345 or 347, can't remember now. Recently she broke the pdmi port and had to buy the battery charging dock setup. Is there anyway I can push the basband via terminal emulator or any other way? Is she just stuck with 347? She has streakmod recovery so I can't upgrade to 354 to change it. If there is a 354 zip around would it update the bb like the pkg file does? Thanks in advance guys.

I manage to flash streakmod using clockworkmod from the market. I can't remember how but there is a thread on the forum somewhere. May be you can flash the baseband the same way?

Thanks so much for the tip. I was able to flash the stock recovery via rom manager. If anyone is interested in how i did this just let me know and i'll write up a tutorial.
Interesting... Last time I tried ROM manager on the Streak, it didn't work at all. Were you asked by ROM manager to input the recovery.img for 354? Guess I'll download it again and see what's new.

Sorry. I have no sources for info. This was all done with my very basic knowledge of how things work. I wanted to make sure someone was interested, before I went to the trouble to explain how I did it. I guess, in the nature of android, I should have been willing to all ready. lol.
First i download rom manager from the market. I was hoping to be able to do it through the option in rom manager "flash alternate recovery", however i could not figure out how to get this to work. So here is what I did.
1. I opened rom manager and selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and selected Dell Streak, and let it flash the recovery.
2. I then when in to andexplorer, any file explorer will work, and searched for where exactly it saves the recovery. Which was /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries
3. This is where it saved the recovery unfortunately I've deleted it but I'll use streakrecovery-example.img as an example.
4. I renamed the recovery streakrecovery-example.img to streakrecovery-example.img.bak
5. I then placed the stock recovery into the same folder and renamed it streakrecovery-example.img (make sure its identical to the .bak recovery, only without .bak)
6. I rebooted the phone to make sure rom manager would notice the changes, but you may not need to.
7. I opened rom manager and selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", and let it do its thing.
8. Upon success I then powered down and manually rebooted into recovery and selected option 2. Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card, and to my surprise was greeted with the stock recovery options. (Power to preform emergency recovery, or Volume up to Power off device)
9. I pressed power and ran the update. The device is now on stock 354. =)
Edit: This was only useful to me because of the broke pdmi port on my moms streak. If you guys think this would be useful for everyone I will start a new "How to Thread" with this same post as soon as i get time. What would be the appropriate section for How to's, General?
Ive been wondering why I should upgade to newer bb's........im still on 305,2.2,rooted. Ide upgrade to a newer one if there was an improvment.......mine is running fine the way it is......what exactly would newer bb make my phone better......thanks

I'm newbie, I accidently formatted everything. My nexus 4 now has no OS, and I don't have rom inside my phone. I watched many video how SDK and adb to sideload rom to the phone, but it keep saying the device is not found. I even went to buy USB flash adapter to plugged phone but it can't read zip file. Please help.
I think device drivers are not properly installed in your PC.. Follow efrant's guide for installing the drivers and flashing the device
