Hi all,
I am on my 4th faulty Streak in quick succession and need some advice.
I keep buying refurbished Streak from ebay that have the same problem.
The 1st time I boot them up they get to the unlock screen then I get the three capacitive button flashing and they go into restart loops. The symptoms are as follows:
1)Restart loop
2)Remove/replace battery and turn on
3)Stuck on Dell logo with screen at full brightness.
4)Even if remove/replace battery and turn on stuck on 3)
5)Need to leave battery out for 30 mins to stop 4) although pretty much straight away goes back into 1) within 5 mins.
The phone is a factory unlocked refurb running Android 2.2 although any further info I cannot give you as the thing turns off before I can access any menus This happens with or without the sim/SD card in or removed. The phone has not been modded in anyway and I have not installed any apps or messed around with any setting.
I have done hours of research on this and other Streak websites and the best I can find is removing the internal memory card for a new one (although I don't have the tools for this).
If anybody has any advice I would be very happy as this flawed, massive phone is giving me sleepless nights.
I do have a 90 warranty with the phone, so I only lose the postage fee (although after 4 returns this would stand at £28!) if I decide to cut my losses. Even so, I really want this phone to work and its almost becoming an obsession to have one working at least for a little while!
One last thing, I have been on the Orange San Francisco/ZTE Blade band wagon since the thing was released. This ostensibly crappy £100 Chinese Non-brand phone has had countless versions of Android thrown at it, been dropped, brought back from the dead and is still performing perfectly a year later. Its a unacceptable that Dell couldn't make a phone even half as reliable as the Blade for four times the cost.
Sounds to me like a software issue, not hardware.
You sure you are not loading anything on your streak?
Maybe you can do a factory reset and then allow it to boot up. Here is how. Power up the streak then when you see the logo hold down both volume button. Next select to do a factory reset.

Hi alperin1. Cheers for the reply.
I have tried a both volume buttons and power button factory restart and it has no effect.
As mentioned, I've not done anything with the phone apart from putting the battery in, putting the sim card in, inserting the sd and then turning on.
On one of the many pervious faulty Streaks I have been sent I did the OTA 2.2.2 update. This made no difference (in fact, on one of the streaks I tried this and in restarted before the update was complete leaving the phone with a blank screen).
I have also tried cooling the phone in the fridge to make sure its not an over heating issue. This also makes no difference and the phone restarts.
Wonder if you can check whether it's the internal sd card causing the problem before attempting to disassemble? Maybe move /data mountpoint somewhere else or making the init "blind" about the data partition? Just an idea. Sounds like quite some work though.
Hello,
i had your exact problem, stuck on Dell logo ..... UK ebay seller and refurbished Dell Streak .... i discovered that my Streak does not had the internal SD cards !!!!! Was removed by someone during the refurbished process !
So i inserted a new 8Gb microSD card in the internal slot and all was OK.
To replace the internal memory you ave 2 options :
A) disassemble the Dell Streak ( you can find some guide in the forums )
B) cut , using a cutter , a small plastic tab inside the battery compartment to gain access to the internal slot ( search Youtube for "Dell Streak Upgrade internal sd card slot to 4GB class 10" )
I followed the option B) and in 5 minutes i had a working Streak !
Ciao.
Hi Miciobigio,
No internal SD Card!? Is it even possible for the Phone to work without the card?
I though the OS resided on this and so it would be impossible to boot?
I have ordered the tools to open the Streak and change the SD Card (I don't want to cut holes in the thing incase the SD Card isn't the problem and it needs to go back (again).
Just out of interest, what was the name of the seller you purchased the Streak off?
Regards
Hello ,
the ebay seller was "electronic_world" from UK.
My Streak arrived with OS 1.6 and booted fine but i could not download anything from the market so i decided to upgrade to 2.2 and the Streak ( after the ugrading process via the SD card not via OTA ) was blocked on the Dell Logo screen , when i discovered that it had no internal memory i was VERY surprised !!
The first Streak they send me do not rechearged the battery.
The second had no camera button ! Just a hole in the chassis.
The third unit had no internal memory !!!!!
I was lucky to fix the third streak they sent me thanks to that youTube video , there is no risk and it will be invisible ; opening the Streak is more risky and is possible to leave marks on the chassis .
Good luck.
Bloody hell!
I bought my first 3 from Electronics World.
The first one worked perfectly well, except it would charge either.
2nd and third had the flashing lights reboot problem
I was always able to download from the market though so maybe the SD Card was present but faulty (I read a few threads from other sources detailing dead internal sd's)
I got tired of Electronic_World sending me faulty Streaks. When I emailed them to tell them about the third faulty Streak they pretty much blamed me for breaking them. They claimed that they got hardly any Streak returns, although your anecdotal evidence and their ebay feedback would suggest otherwise...
Tried Bentham for this Streak. I though "a different seller won't send me another knacked Streak!!". Looks like they did...
I really appreciate your info by the way. One way or another I want to get this bloody slab to work!
bloody hell, i got my dell from the same ebay seller, and it was doing the SAME thing ! !
pissed me off, the communication with them is absolutely awful ! I hate them with all my heart and I wish they run out of bisuness and go bankruptcy!
I hate people doing this! Thats why good sellers are having problems!
anyways, got the 2nd dell, replaced.. this one looks fine |-(
I was close to return it and buy HTC again..

Hello HTC users
I am very new to HTC so i need your help please
I have purchased my HTC HDT (T-Mobile) from usa about a week ago.

Hello, and welcome to XDA.
Just to clarify you have an HD2 correct? If so, have you installed anything....an application or modification or anything to customize or personalize?

Try this first, hold both volume keys, and the red power button, then reset the phone, if that doesn't work, then your phone is dead, sorry
Keyword there, "SUPPOSED" to be new, many times, people break their phones with a program that wasn't meant for it, and they put it on eBay. You get those kinds of people on there. Sounds like you need to file a claim on PP if you still can, file a complaint, because you just bought a broken phone.
Only way to make sure it is "NEW" is to buy a BNIB one, buying a new or used one is a hit or miss if the guy before you messed it up or not.
check the battery connection pins and make sure none of them are bent. There's 5 of them, and they should all be even in a row, like this: ll l ll
I have done the hard reset and the soft reset.
If i do get inside the phone it would work for 20 30 min and then goes off
to re open it i have to take the batt out for at least 5 min and then retry again.
I have contacted the seller and he said to give it to the lab and he will refund me on whatever it costs.
sigh
Before you take it to a lab, check those battery pins. Make sure they are straight. Easy. Next, try it without the micro SD card in it. See if it works. If it does then it's a crappy micro SD card. If it still freezes, do a hard reset. After a hard reset if it still freezes Then get a replacement. Did it look like it was in a sealed box? Even if it was, the seller needs to take it back unless it had a no returns mention on the auction.
Its a faulty unit. Had the exact same thing happen to me with my launch model. T-Mobile replaced it for me free of charge. In your case contact pp as you just got screwed

the problem its the sd card boot ur phone w/o sd card and it will boot as it is lol save all the data of the sd card and reformat it. it happened to me...
Are u able to solve this problem...
I am also facing the same problem.... I tried even installing custom ROM etc... still the same.
It start if i disconnect the battery for 10 min and try again.... But it can crash any time..
i would suggest returning it asap if possible.
I had this problem happen towards what has to be the end of the life of my hd2. It would freeze there until you took the battery out and hoped it booted.
Later mine wouldn't boot and all and is now basically a 600 dollar vibrator since all it does is vibrate till the battery dies.
I was very happy yesterday when I picked up my brand new Desire HD. When I got home I immediately removed the plastic from the battery, inserted my sim card and plugged it in the charger while reading the manual.
After some tinkering around it suddenly rebooted. I thought it was just due to a setting I changed so didn't think much of it. However, it occurred another time later in the evening. This morning when I woke up, I didn't have any signal due to my DHD not recognizing my sim card any more. When I rebooted the phone, all was well. However when riding my train to work I felt the phone vibrate so I picked it up thinking I had a new text. Wrong: I was staring at the boot screen yet again.
When I got home this afternoon I did a factory reset using the phone's menu and hoped it would solve my problem. Unfortunately, when I opened the browser it rebooted again!
So, is my 2 day old DHD really dead-on-arrival or is there something else I could try? Unfortunately this was the last model left at the store where I got it from and they didn't know when another shipment would come in, so I might be stuck waiting for a while if I really do need to get it exchanged for a new one.
Mine is also doing this, also when I turned it off last night to charge it, it kept turning itself on. Any help much appreciated.

imo take it back if a laptop or anything else was doing this i would say there is a hardware fault bad chip sample or something its not normal you should have to live with it take it back asap
or wait if you want but personally you pay that much you want it to work just take it back
Maybe your SIM card is old and causing these reboots? DHD will automaticaly reboot when you unplug your SIM card without shutting it down first so maybe it's just loosing contact.
I've seen cases (various manufacturers) where SIM card would cause hangs, reboots and such. Replacement card from the operator in most cases fixed the issue.
My Nokia 6630 has that issue, it says the phone has to be reboot constantly due to a old scratched sim card, if i try with a new one it works perfectly :|
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676402
These reboot issues are a problem with the Desire, Nexus1, EVO4 and now it would appear the DesireHD. For the other phones the solution is to return to HTC for a mainboard replacement.
I really hope this isnt the case for the DesireHD.
As for it being my sim card: I doubt it as it works fine in my old phone (Nokia N900) and an old Motorola I still have. The sim card is barely 1 year old btw.

Yeah, I read about similar problems with the Desire and Nexus One but hoped the problems would have been solved in the DesireHD as I hadn't seen any messages of this problem occurring on the DHD before.
When I woke up about an hour ago, I again had to reboot my phone as it didn't see my sim card anymore. I'll go back to the store in about an hour to get a new one if they have it, and let you know when I get back...
This is just a wild guess, but may you should try to take out the sim card and place it back again. There could be a loose contact, dirt on the sim or some something else that might be causing a problem the phone does not see the sim correctly.

I thought of that last night so I took out the sim card as well as the battery and placed them back again. This morning, the DHD again failed to recognize my sim card so that problem wasn't solved.
The reboots seem to be rather random though, it's not just when I use my phone very heavily.
the issue with the sim card isnt the mainboatd issue, its can be sim or one of the back covers, wird.
Well, I went to the shop this morning to replace my DHD for a new one. The shop I got it from didn't have any in stock anymore, so I had the choice to wait until next week, or go to another shop and have it exchanged there. So I went there, and they replaced my (I think) faulty unit for a new one
So far, it's working like a dream What I noticed that with my previous DHD the charger would buzz very slightly when charging, this doesn't happen with my new unit and the same charger.
I'll keep you updated whether or not my new unit is indeed problem free.
I bought my Desire HD from the T-Mobile shop yesterday. Nice phone, but mine is rebooting every 5 minutes more or less. It seems to reboot soon after the 3g becomes active, but that may be just a coincidence. It also reboots immediatly upon plugging in the USB cable. Very annoying!. I thought I would try resetting to factory default, but that also did not help. I am going to swap it tomorrow, and hope I have better luck with that one.

Same issue here, got mine from three UK yesterday.
Brand new SIM Card with the phone as well.
It was fine most of last night, rebooted once then after setup, like another post didnt think that much of it.
Then this morning it went in to a boot loop, rebooted about 5times in a row and the only thing to correct was a battery pull.
Lets hope its a software issue and not hardware related!
I haven't been able to test my new unit properly just yet. I ordered a new SIM card through T-MOBILE but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm now using my DHD without a SIM card and it has been working fine for the past 24 hours. So I think my SIM card is indeed the problem, as both units rebooted several times with the SIM card inserted but work fine without one.
When i picked up my sgs. It used to have same problem. Everytime i open a browser it reboots. But after i changed the rom it went perfect
Factory reset wont work. Try fresh install from the recovery menu. I think it will fix ur problem.
Most of the time this issue is software related.

Replaced my DHD at T-Mobile
Hi all,
So i was experiencing the reboot problem on my new phone. In fact mine was rebooting every 5 to 10 minutes since i took it out of the box. I phoned HTC to see if there was something I was doing wrong. They told me it's probably mainboard fault and I should return it.
Today I brought it back to the t-mobile shop and they exchanged it for a new one no questions asked. I demonstrated to the sales guy how it reboots for no reason, just to prove I wasn't crazy, but he didn't even ask for proof. The new one seems to be working flawlessly so far.
Here in Netherlands, you have 8 business days to return your device if something is wrong, and they will exchange it. If you wait too long, you would have to send it for repair under warranty. If you are having issues such as this, I would definitely swap it out a.s.a.p because when you buy an expensive phone like this, its meant to WORK!
I noticed something else perhaps worth mentioning. When the first phone package was opened, the plastic piece protecting the battery was not there, and the Micro SD was in the box, but not in the phone. The plastic cover was on the phone however, so I didn't think anything of these things because i don't know how the phones are packed. When I got the replacement phone, I tried to start it and it wouldnt start. Only then did I realize the replacement phone had a plastic protector around the battery which I first had to remove, and the micro sd was already in the phone. When i put my sim in the replacement phone, the fit was tighter as well. This all seems rather dubious to me. Perhaps someone had a play around with the first one before selling it? Maybe it was refurbished? In any case MAKE SURE you inspect the phone before leaving the shop, and make sure your phone hasn't been played with.
good luck everyone!

Horrible reboot
Hi all,
I have been experiencing different reboots due to different reasons. Main reason is the fact of applying too much pressure on the back cover. That will always result in a reboot (I suspect it has to do with the two contacts under the cover).
Another reason for rebooting, as I have experiencing, is unplugging the charger while using the telephone.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are more reasons that cause the rebooting of the unit.
The worse part in my case is the fact that I lost the receipt, thus I believe I won't be able to take it back to have it fixed. Am I wrong?
I've been experiencing the same issues, but mine also turns itself on. I tried factory reset, didn't solve. So I am getting it exchanged as soon as its back in stock with Vodafone.

I am having exactly the same problem with my DHD. It's randomly rebooting 1 or 2 times a day. And when it's rebooted there is no signal and sometimes it doesn't even recognize my simcard at all. Manually rebooting the device then solves the problem for a while, untill it reboots automaticly again....
I have a dual simcard so today I will swap it, but I don't think that is going to work.
I don't have the DHD yet...
But i saw in a youtube movie that the batterycover had 2 contacts.
The guy in de video told that when you take the batterycover off when the phone is on it will shut down.
Maybe your battterycover is not set the good way.
hi
i have my streak for a week, the 2nd day i got it i turned it off and went to the +/-vol + power screen to do a factory reset but i changed my mind and rebooted phone again, after that the 16GB card wasn't being detected anymore and even formating it didn't bring it to life again. In windows sometimes it showed up as a 30MB card but i couldn't even format it, some error about bad blocks.
So i used a 8GB card during the week and yesterday i bought a class 4 16GB card, it was working fine untill this morning when i tried to do update of the os, i went to the same screen but forgot to rename the file to update.pkg so i rebooted the phone again to rename it, but again when it came onto the os, same thing, it detects the card as blank but it can't format it... so i have now another broken sd card...
i did a factory reset while using the 8GB card so i dun think the problem is just cause of going to the black update.pkg thing screen...
anybody has had any 16GB faulty card?
what do u guys think? my streak hates 16GB cards and is faulty? or i am the proud owner of 2 faulty 16GB in a row (a class 2 and a class 4, both sandisk)?
My streak came with 16 gig card. Had no issues with it so far. I've put DJ STEVES Rom on as well.
btw, on both ocasions i had the phone connected to the usb cable and to the computer... could that be a cause?
maybe i'll just go buy another 16GB microsd card and play around with it to see if it happens again!
update: tested the card now with the program "active partition recovery" and it gives me an errors saying "bad signature in sector 0 on 86h" ... dunno what it means tho
ok, been trying a bunch of bad blocks recovery programs, mbr fix programs, etc, none works so i guess the card is unrecoverable and is really physically damaged...
just 2 questions before i decide if i buy a new card or send the phone back to shop (it'll hurt having to wait 2 or 3 weeks for a replacement streak)
i was only just using the cards inside the phone, and it even worked well as a usb storage device in windows when i connected the mobile on usb, only after i went to the recovery screen did this happened, (the 1st card failed after i went to the fastboot screen now that i remember correctly) do you think that any of these actions could have damaged the card?
and is it even possible for a normal streak to even damage the card beyond repair just by rebooting and trying to flash an update?
if that were the case, i guess loads of ppl would have same problem as me ...
other than that the mobile works flawlessly, hence my reluctance to send it back, plus the fact that it worked fine during this week with an 8GB card... but then again .. what are the odds of 2 cards failing one after the other in similar circunstances... sigh...

I feel your pain man. I just got mine yesterday from my local best buy. Within the first 6 hours it shut down randomly while idle. Had to connect it to a power supply and then reboot it to get it started again. On top of that, after the random shutdowns, the phone wouldn't recognize the sd card. It came up on error in the notifications. It gave the option to reformat it right in the streak but when you clicked on reformat...nothing happened. Could write to the card at all. No pictures, music...nothing. So I returned it the same day I bought it and exchanged it for another.
My replacement streak has been perfect (besides my noob experiment in flashing steve's froyo)!
I'm pretty sure it was a hardware issue. It sounds like you got a faulty streak as well. My advice would be to send it back...ask for expedited shipping or whatever it takes to get it back asap. These things are too expensive for them not to work as promised.
Good luck bro!

Hey I put up a post and no one seems to be able to help me curious if you can:
I put a 32gb micro sd card class 2 sandisk into a samsung focus and it is now stuck on 15mb memory (not a new problem to this forums).
Everyone's solution on this forum is to reset the phone and start over, however its been a month now and no single reset has changed the phone from 15mb back to 8gb. There are no at&t apps either the phone is bare and can only make calls pretty much.
I have done both resets in many combinations of plugged and not plugged in. I have done the 3 button reset and the menu reset. Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated?
you never did mention if you took the card out...
well the card is out now, i originally tried to reformat every which way with the card in now it is removed. Any other questions that might help? any suggestions?
Would jailbreaking the phone help reset it? can it be jailbreaked in that state? and how the hell do you jailbreak ha?
well now that the card is out do the vol down, camera, power format....
i have done that alot and no result. Am i missing something about reseting?
I have done the 3 button format, about menu format, and also long press on the power button. I have done these in many combinations to no avail.
Is the phone complete garbage? Can i get it replaced by samsung?
Your phone is toast. This is what happened to me when I tried using a 32GB Class 2 Sandisk card. If you bought yours from AT&T or whatever, you should be able to walk in, show them the phone is bricked, and get a replacement. I'm not sure how it will play out if you bought it through other means.
what about buying a new one and returning few days later the broken one, will they know its a different phone?
I'm not sure, but why wouldn't you bring it in? You should be reasonably covered, support-wise. They have no way of knowing that you used a card.

yes they track the phones by the s/n and the imei.
i would bring the phone in, but i bought it through 3rd party dealer and i got my money back for the phone, but still have the broken phone and it would be great to fix it and have it for free.
Any way to get phone replaced by at&t? even if i have to pay does that kind of service exist?
After almost 3 months of neglecting my dead streak, And Dell refusing to take it back to fix it (will explain). MY STREAK IS ALIVE!
It broke around Christmas because of memory corruption (After installing Froyo OTA), I hear that is a known bug with these devices.
I was of-course sure that Dell would take it in, and replace or fix it, but no...
Somehow the Service-Tag on my device is not in their system (God knows why), and they needed a purchase note to accept the repair. However, I did not have this paper, since I live in Norway, and purchased via Ebay from a company named "KickMobiles Ltd."
I assumed they had the papers, but trying to call them results in a "This number is not in use" BS.
So I said to my self, if the £@$! warranty is not good for anything anyways, I'll try to fix the sucker myself.
Got online, found some youtube vids of dissasembling the Streak. Got out and purchased a T4 screwdriver, opened the phone, and extracted the SDcard.
Now I am lucky to have an Ubuntu Laptop which I use for compiling and developing in Chromium OS, so I stuck the card in the SD slot, and examined the partitions of the card.
Luckily there was an easy structure I could replicate in another MicroSD card I had lying around, and copied the 2 .gz files that was on the partition.
put the new card in, assembled the phone, Started in recovery mode the first time, did a factory reset, and the phone booted! I'm extatic!
My £550 brick is finally useful again!
Have a great day!
GodoPPL
Good for you. Back to business...
i would have been sick about it too glad you got i goin again
When you copied the gzips over to the new card, was it off the old card or manually from another source?
amazing job! makes me think about ripping mine open.
What symptoms did your Streak exhibit before you fixed it. Im wondering if your fix would work on my Streak which boots up to the Dell logo only. I get a blank black screen when booting into fastboot mode and the pc doesnt see the device in this state so Im sort of stuck. I did put the internal SD card in an Ubuntu laptop and it all looked OK to me but I know very little about android or Linux. Any more details as tothe commands to format the new SD card and where the .gz files were on the old card would be much appreciated.
Please tell us that while you did this, you put in a larger capacity/faster internal MicroSD Card....lol
that's why i love Dell Streak, cause if there's something wrong with internal memory and you out of warranty - you can change internal memory by yourself!!!
I copied the files to my ubuntu laptop from the original sd card directly. That part of the sd card was luckily not corrupt. Don't really know if it was necessary, but better safe than sorry I guess
The issue I had, was that the phone did not at all, either hanging on dell logo, or rebooting on dell logo constantly.
The reason I know my memory was corrupt is: booting into fastboot mode, typing *#301# in the num-pad box, and selecting test 10.
I could have inserted a bigger sd card if I wanted to, but to be on the safe-side I didn't

If you can't get into fastboot I don't see how you can fix it yourself. But if your warrant is not covering you anymore, give it a shot
The two files were in the root of the 256mb ext2 partition
I still have the files if you want to copy them

Thanks Godo_PPL. I think you are right, ive pretty much given up trying to revive my Streak. I think my only option will be to look for a broken screen streak on ebay and combine the two, or possibly send it to someone who knows how to JTAG it.
Anyone know of someone reputable that does JTAG repairs?
Anyways, I'm glad to see you revived yours and its great that you posted as it will help out others i'm sure.
