I just rooted my streak as normal and now it will not boot.
When I turn it on, it just displays ''dell'' but stays there forever.
I flashed it before and it was fine but now it is stuck.
Any way I can fix this?
i am no expert, but you'll have to give a lot more information than that
16.?
2.1 ?
versions
how did you flash?
how did you root?
to "fix" your Streak, reverting back to the Update.pkg should get you back working

2.1
Build 6267
How can I flash it when there is no superboot 6267 version yet?
Basically What happened is I upgraded my streak from 1.6 to 2.1
I downloaded root explorer but it would NOT work as my streak was not rooted.
I then rooted my streak using superboot but it was for the old version 3883.
The phone did not boot after this. I then tried superboot for build 4399, same thing the streak gets stuck on the dell logo.
I then looked for build 6267 which is what I have but it does not exist.
I wanted to root my streak with the new 2.1 version but it failed and ever since I'm stuck with the dell logo.
I know I can simply reinstall 2.1 but I will have to reinstall all my apps and set my phone up again.
Is there any way I can recover or somehow go back to the build of 6267 WITHOUT losing anything or reinstalling?
The last thing I want to do is reinstall 2.1 all over again...
I just reinstalled 2.1
Works fine now only I need to put all my apps back on as well as configure/setup all the settings...
I am noob in phone flashing. but after goin thru all sources online.. I tried flashing my Streak 5.
I tried rooting with "SuperOneClick2.2", but it was not detecting phone model or so.. So I tried Superboot... after android interface drivers installation.. phone was decteced in FASTBOOT mode and message in phone showed root installed.
After that, my phone is continually flashing the buttons & showing DELL's white logo on the black background.
All procedures were followed to the dot. However, as suggested in the post & elsewhere, I "factory-resetted" the device. Not worked. I then reverted back to the Android 2.2 "Update.pkg" I had in the sd card. Update was done as usual. But the phone just didn't get ON.
That was yesterday. Well today, all of a sudden, when I tried to on the phone, it started!!!!
But new problem, the phone is not rooted. Checked out with the Android emulator. Tried the whole procedure. Went through the same steps. Problem repeated. Solved. Again & again.. the phone refuses to be ROOTED!!!
What could be the problem?
First of all dont bump a year old thread,
secondly superboot will brick the streak as it's designed for a different rom,
thirdly use the guides on xda/wiki to reinstall with a update.pkg,
fourthly there's a guide halfway down the page currently in the dev section on how to root correctly
Use superone click
One click rooting methods are not infallible. The recommended way to root is to manually install StreakMod Recovery then Superuser.zip.
Hey guys,
Im not new to flashing roms etc,
but this is the first time i have so much trouble with it.
I read the streak how to PDF and followed the instructions on installing superboot.
when i installed superboot, the phone reset itself, and when it turns on, the dell logo shows up and the "home and menu" led starts flashing on and off and the restarts again.
I tried following the instuctions on how to restore the phone, but none of it worked. i specifically followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
and when i try to flash the update.pkg, i get an error at the end about the boot bin or something like that.
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I heard something about a QDL tool i could use...not sure what that is and i couldnt find an exact answer searching the forums.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: found a guide on using the QDL tool, im going to try it now wish me luck lol
If u got yours from best buy u need to use QDL. Read carefully and just do as it says
thanks for the tip, it is indeed the best buy exclusive white one....running qdl as we speak
ok everything is good now!
i just need to figure out why when i try to install dj steves rom it gives me
"failed to verify signature"
ok so now i am having a hard time rooting the phone.
I am using the android 2.2 provided from QDL and am trying to root via universal androot which isnt working for me.
any other ways i can root?
note: im using a best buy dell streak
If you are updating to his 1.6 then you dont need to root it.
It it pre-rooted
thanks, I figured it out.
It turns out that the "how to pdf" (while an amazing guide) linked me to outdated versions of the the recovery which is why it would not work.
everything is working now,
running steves 1.6 and loving life. Thanks every one for your help!!!!!

Hi All,
My Bell Atrix was rooted but not BL unlocked when I finally got tired of the pop up message wanting to update to the latest firmware and decided to let it update. I had checked a while back and I thought people were having no problem updating even though rooted.
If I remove and replace the battery the phone will boot up completely but then immediately re-boots before I can do anything and on the reboot it goes to the Failed to boot 2, Starting RSD mode screen and stays there.
Because this phone was not unlocked I'm not sure how to proceed. Can I use RSD lite to recover and if so, what files should I be looking to write.
I don't mind ending up with a BL unlocked phone as I had been intending to do that eventually, but just hadn't gotten around to it yet.
As far as what version I was at, the phone took a big update a month or two ago, and after a while wanted to do another update (teh latest I assume). I had downloaded it (wasn't very big) and was only getting around to letting it install now when this happened.
Please, need some help quick here!
Regarding what rev I was at, I believe I was at 4.5.91 updating to 4.5.141...if this make sense for Bell.
Hi Again,
From further reading, I believe I was trying to update to this:
System Version
45.21.MB860.BellMobility.en.ca
(previous: 45.2.17.MB860.BellMobility.en.ca)
Android version
2.3.6
(previous: 2.3.4)
Webtop Version
WT-1.2.0-167-BELL
(previous: WT-1.2.0-135_BELL)
Kernel version
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #2
(previous: 2.6.32.9-00002-gd5bf03a
[email protected] #2)
Build number
4.5.2A-51_OLL-17.8
(previous:4.5.2A-51_OLL-17)
Sorry for the confusion, but I obviously can't use phone to see where I was at and where I was going. Basically, it was the latest Bell update excluding ICS, supposively that is available now?
Surely someone can toss me a bone on this one?
Got the same issue but used rsd lite and working now ..

This link is for AT&T is it not? I think I need a specific file to load with RSD or fastboot to fix the softbrick created when OTA ing from Bell 234 to 236.
I assume you were AT&T bobby2nag?

I am on the same boat, i am on AT&T i was rooted, and i hit the update button =(
Got it to work thank to you ! =)
Followed this up until proper recovery section which i did not have to do.
This worked for me also. Seemed just the process of unlocking the bootloader fixed things. I needed to unlock anyway, so that was good, however I believe the more appropriate fix would have been this:

Yes mine is at&t .
Finally yours Atrix is back .
Telco Mexico - clearing the caches might help, up to you to decide
Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501454
You never said if you were in a boot loop or not, upon battery pull/insert does it boot up and then reboot immediately and bring you to Failed to boot 2? If so, I would try the caches myselp, JMHO!
This evening I received my 4.4 ota only for it to get stuck on the opening animation. After reading other peoples issues here I put it in recovery and wiped cache. Still stuck on animation. I then did a factory reset and still stuck on animation. What is my next option?

Use the first guide in my signature if your device is bootloader locked, or the others if unlocked.

I had that happen tonight as well. I used Mr. Skip's toolkit to side load stock 4.3 back and then the OTA pushed again and it went OK.
He already did a factory reset which wipe out the entire device, there is no point of going back 4.3 to get the OTA. Flash directly the 4.4 factory image.
Thanks for your replies, I have not much experience in this and your guide as detailed as it is doesn't make much sense to someone like me with limited knowledge in this area. Is there a basic guide someone could direct me to please? I really need my phone back!

I followed one of the videos on youtube to use Skips Toolkit(?) to get my phone back on with 4.4 installed. I installed drivers as stated and it seemed like everything was going ok, then the update failed and now pc won't recognise phone/usb so I'm a bit stuck now. Does anyone have any tips of my next move I'm starting to panic now. Thanks for the help so far
Can anyone help with my problem please?

Go back and reload 4.4 with Mr. Skip's toolkit again. It should be able to see the phone even if the PC doesn't.
Thanks for reply. I have tried it doesn't seem to recognise my phone, it did first time though. I'm beginning to tear my hair out now
"device mode cannot be detected"
Hi All,
I picked up a Defy MB525 on ebay, mostlly to mess with but I need to use it as my daily driver for a while because I am buying a house and my money is tied up for that.
Anyway, it arrived with stock unrooted t-mobile froyo which I am sure you will all agree is unacceptable so i used framroot to root it and installed sndinit 2.3 and followed the instructions in the general section for installing KitKat. I followed the instructions including the note to update the phone to CM10 first which went fine. At one point, I had it running CM10.1 fine but when I installed KitKat, the phone got stuck at the boot screen. The instructions say that it is normal for it to take a long time and you will think you are stuck but I let it sit more than an hour. At that point I thought I was soft bricked so I went back and used RSD Lite to install the t-mobile eclair SBF on it, which is the only one I can find. All links to the Froyo SBF I can find are broken.
That is where I am stuck. When I try to install sndinit, I get no blue light on reboot and on the older versions and I get an SD mount error in the recovery.
I think the probably I am having are related to not having the Froyo firmware installed but when I try to install it the regular way, the phone reboots and I get the triangle with an exclamation point. As I said, I can't find the Froyo SBF. The links I can find are broken and I don't think it is listed here, which is where I found the eclair sbf:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27
My questions are:
Does anyone know where to find the most recent t-mobile sbf file? Do you think that is my problem? If not, what is?

I figured this out if anybody needs to know. I had to do a full system reset then restore the eclair sbf so that the phone is in the exact state it was in out of the box. Then the OTA install worked fine. I am still working on getting KitKat installed. It seems like I need to find the right combination of recovery and rom to get 10.1 installed.

To install KK, root, 2ndinit, then go to recovery and flash this and reboot - http://d-h.st/dWr. Then after reboot, go back to recovery (don't go back to the system). Then flash this - http://d-h.st/dz8 and immediately flash KK and gapps.
