Howdy all,
I updated my phone to 2.2.2 with help from Broken's and Krad's posts in the "Dell Streak Froyo 2.2.2 Build" and "Root AWS Dell Streak" threads.
It was wonderful the first day but now I've done something and keep experiencing random process crashes. Mostly with the com.dell.launcher.
I was just wondering if anyone else is seeing this or if I should wipe and reinstall.
Baseband: GAUSB1A132211-us
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf
Oem: GAUSB1A134100
Build: 14917
I did change the following as per these instructions.
Just noticed that by default, the Stock 341 had hardware acceleration for graphic disabled. Meaning it uses CPU instead of GPU to render graphic (something like that from reading online).
Here's the simple mod/fix:
1. Phone must be rooted, use Root Explorer (paid app)
2. goto /system, change mounted mode to R/W (read/write) if it is R/O (read/only)
3. edit build.prop file, change the line
FROM - debug.sf.hw=0
TO - debug.sf.hw=1
Reboot your phone. Should speed up the graphics... Tested and works for me
** This is a pretty common tweak in custom ROM and definitely not my discovery. Too common now, don't know who to credit.
Were the crashes before or after you made the changes?

I think after.
I am seeing a strange screen that's like the in call screen but there is no person. It just has the interface up.
It goes away if I hit the home button, but it's weirdness.
zero issues here. Did you load the way i said? or did you force via fastboot method?
If it is causing crashes edit it back to 0

Krad, I used fastboot method, no matter how I tried adb would not allow me to, woukd always say not found, permission denied, even terminal emulator gives the same message that is why I think it would b ev better if someone would post the command sequence they on adb or t.e. for us to follow also. BTW I woukd love to have your gingerkrad on my streak unfortunately it doesn't work on mine.

I did the fastboot with the wrong files at first. That got me to 2.2.1 and then I did it your way after I got the md5 thing to run and now I'm on 2.2.2.

Could you post your procedure? Coz I couldn't get it to.work on two computers, both saying not found, permission denied, even tried doing on terminal emulator. I was able to make 2 nandroid backups of 322/341 2.2.2, however when I tried to do a nandroid restore it says md5 mismatch.

Some of it is in broken's thread. Like you can follow my disgust and failures in there. ;-)
But, I need to compile out all because they leave out the actual code for doing it. I had to dog around in a bunch of forums to find all the code I needed.
Clearly I bearly have a grip on how this OS works. Wish it were dos based.
Anyway,
The process com.google.gapps crashed. What does that prices do?

Htcjikelly, my sw spec is the same as yours and I have the build.prop hw = 1 edit too. No problem on my end and I have been a happy camper for 3 days now. I have the White Streak. For launcher, I am using adw launcher ex instead of Dell Stage.

Thanks! I didnt notice any improvement in speed overall (games / ui).
but as it didnt brake anything neither its good to know that hardware acceleration is activated.
Maybe ill run Quadrant later and post results
I do everything correctly when starting perm root...then i get to terminal emulator and after I do "sh root.sh" I get tgis message:
/sdcard/root/wpx.ko failed (function not implemented)
Any ideas as to whats going on here? Ive never had it do this when rooting .
*edit* went into the store and got a new one, still doing the same error. So, any ideas what's up?

From some on going research by the fine science team here at the XDA research facility it appears as if you may have a bad eMMC.
There are are two different rooting methods ./gfree and root.sh. It's becoming clear that if you have problems with the root.sh method, Which is a scripted out version of what you are trying to do, and if it doesn't work it's most likely your phone has faulty hardware that will not allow it to work properly. IF i were in your shoes i'd get ADB up and running (if you dont already) then look @ the "post your eMMC thread" to see if you have a bad one or not. If you have a good one use the ./gfree method. If you have a bad one i'd reconsider rooting your phone as the chances of bricking goes up alot.
I am only on my first day of having this phone, so if I have a bad one, I could just take it back to tmobile and get a new one for free.
If its good, can I do the gfree on my mac? Cause I dont have windows.

How do I do ADB for MAC?
The thread on here is for windows....
So I went to the T-Mobile store today and got a new one...so this is 2 MT4G's in 24 hours...brought it home...SAME THING
what are the odds off two bad emmc's??? Something's fishy here, wouldn't one think?
can you post the link of the guide your following .Also have u set up adb on mac
I am using "the unlockr's" method to temp root, and then followed by the perm root method...it's in the perm root method that this is happening obviously.
No, trying to get that figured out on how to do it on my mac right now

Have you tried visionary method for your phone. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but it worked perfectly for me. Saved me quite a few steps, too.

Make sure that you have both
Code:
Run VISIONary.sh
and
Code:
Set /System to r/w
both check marked.
If those are checked it will not work
also make sure you have ADB debugging turned on

I understand your theory behind wanting to make sure you have root access. But unless you change the /system files to a read/write point it will not allow you to make changes to it. Which is required for the command to work. If it's not working there is a GOOD chance you may have a bad eMMC and i wouldn't advise rooting it.

I'm new at this, and I don't want to mess this up..
I hate even having to do this in the first place, but I need to flash a new radio to my phone as my GPS is kaput since I rooted and installed the leaked rooted version of the Gingerbread update (Radio didn't update). However, though I understand how to root and flash a Rom fairly well now, I'm having a little trouble understanding the procedure for flashing a radio. Here's what I intend to follow:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
How to Flash:
In order for this to work, the HTC Glacier needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.
Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Glacier.
Make sure the filename is PD15IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).
Connect the HTC Glacier to the computer via USB.
On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
Code:
adb push PD15IMG.zip /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip
adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip
NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
The HTC Glacier will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.
The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.
Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Glacier normally.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Questions:
1) "Open terminal" - What is terminal exactly? I see multiple references to this on this site, but no clear explanation of what it is, or where I get it.
2) "The md5 should match up the provide the original download location." - What does this mean exactly, and what am I looking for exactly?
3) Is there anything in settings that should be set in a particular way before I start?
4) Are there any apps or programs that I should have on my phone before I begin that I will need to do this?
5) Is the 3rd Gingerbread radio in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059347 compatible with this ROM?
Phone information:
T-Mobile MyTouch 4G, unlocked, permarooted, with Wind Mobile Canada.

I'm heading out of town next weekend and I'd like to use my nav app, but it's impossible without the GPS functional, so any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
This is what I do? I download the radio and then put it on the root of the sd card and then boot in to the bootloader by pulling out the battery and holding the volume down button and power button. Then you just follow what it tells you

Terminal is an app in the market. It allows you to run commands via the phone rather than using adb.
The md5sum is a quality control check to ensure that the downloaded file was not corrupt while downloading, so that if anything changed while downloading the md5sum (kind of a unique serial number) will not match... Search md5sum in the market and choose one to use and then verify the checksum for the files you download with the check sum supplied on the thread, usually above or below the download, if they do not match the the file is corrupt and will not and should not be flashed! Any other questions, feel free to ask and i will try to help!

I second his suggestion. It's much more headache free than all that other stuff you posted. I do suggest you verify the md5 though, just to make sure you didn't get a bad download of the radio.

Thank you to EVERYONE here, both those who helped, and those that provided typo comedy.
I went with the Panache radio and my GPS is up and running again, not to mention that my signal is stronger than it used to be. BONUS!
And hboot method was easy as could be, though I suppose I should learn how to use adb if I'm going to continue to muck with my phone.
Awesome.

Yup. Although in this case I searched a lot, and I managed to piece a lot of it together, but I'm still trying to get up to speed on the tools and terminology though. I mean no offense to anyone on here by this, but I found that many of the posts here are written with the assumption that the person reading it has at least a basic understanding of the procedures and terminology, which unfortunately isn't the case with me. I definitely appreciate the help, and I thank where appropriate for sure.

I am able to do all that also, but can't backup and can't install anything. I get error can't mount data/recovery and aborts.
ok... so i'm trying for the 100th time to install this silly thing... and for some reason... when i try to run it... it kicks me out...
i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong...
when i attempt to pause the install process... i get a screen full of if i type adb without an argument...
if someone could gimme a hand with this or tell me what the hell i am doing wrong... i'd appreciate it...
i wanna try to get laidaxin's cm7.2 working on my phone...
i dunno if it matters... but i am attempting to install from a windows xp machine...
Hello!
First, Thanks to all people around this work, specially Laidaxin for good work.
Well, sadly... I also still stuck on install the FlipSide recovery option of the first post... I did all te proccess by eleven times, testing different details that may be not clear for me (as run as administrator, with abd CMD screen closed and opened, if the version of adb never shows me the logs that appears in cmd screenshot... several times I got on the FlipSide the screens talking about su and later 2ndinit script got superuser permissions... but the screens of cmd generated by the script are so fast that was not able to read or check if the 2ndinit script was succesfull or if there something else that may be failing/missed... so by now still no luck)
as a resume, in hope that may help to test from new friends around here:
1) I reflashed my FlipSide to stock with sbf from the other thread tutorial (I use sbfflash in linux and everything works fine, using Power+UParrow in keyboard to enter in bootloader mode my Flipside)... and then I insert my SIM and SD card wiped with only the CM7-Laidaxin.zip file on it, ...complete setup as minimal possible in order to be able to set USB mode to memory access, and turn on usb development in applications menu.
2) Then I ROOT with SuperOneClick version 2.1.1!!! and connect my phone in normal use screen home (NOT bootloader mode!) with UBS debugging turn on and with USB mode set to memory card access (NOT Moto Portal No Media access...), the other methos with Z4root and newer versions of SuperOneClick FAILS for me...
3) I then try to install recovery with Laidaxin installer and procedure, but as I said after some attemps I still not success in get the recovery working, also try diferent ways... removing battery then reboot with VolumeDown pressed, Turn off normal and repeat, turning ON AND AFTER see the Red Moto press the VolDown key short time, later maintained it long, then pressing it several times, etc...
So, I made this resume in order to share info from my side and hope to save some time to other friends that may want to test the CM7 from Laidaxin, than in fact seems like a GREAT work for our Flips... so please if any help to get this fully working and tested will be very gratefull...
Best regards!

Ok, I am not totally sure, but I suspect that this is the original link of this recovery, however, just now I need to go to my work, so, I do not have chance right now to check it, but hope may be usefull.

Best regards!
You should be able to install it like this:
- Extract everything in the "data" folder into a folder called "bootmenu" on your sdcard
- Then use either "adb shell" from a command prompt, or Terminal Emulator on the phone should work:
Code:
su
cp -R /sdcard/bootmenu /data/bootmenu
cd /data/bootmenu
chmod 0755 *
./install.sh
And it should say "Install complate...."
You can also remove the folder(s) if you want:
Code:
rm -R /data/bootmenu
rm -R /sdcard/bootmenu
Then to get into it, reboot the phone and once the notification light turns on, hit volume down

laidaxin's rom replaces this recovery with one that doesn't quite work perfectly yet...
You should be able to boot back into CM7 and re-run the above commands and it'll work again
That doesn't change anything for me... it still won't unmount system...

It does the same for me, which is what's keeping me from trying CM7, as I have no way to restore my current nandroid. The defy installs their recovery to /system as well and I gather that it works as intended, I wonder if it's that we need our own build of CWM. Do we know if whoever built CWM for the defy has their source tweaks available?
Unless you have something irreplacable in your /system or /data... I would just have RSD lite and an sbf ready... and take the plunge...
Because....
When you use CM7... apps2sd moves not only the apk... but also the lib files to the sd card...
As long as you switch the 'network operator' to GSM only (in wireless and networks)... laidaxin's kang runs beautifully... much much faster than stock
Sent from my Filpside using Tapatalk
Link2SD has no problem moving the lib files in our stock rom... I'm no stranger to reflashing with RSD Lite, it's just tedious to get everything set back up JUST right, and this is exactly the kind of thing nandroid is great for.
Hi guys ...firstly Id like to apologize for my english cause iam from slovakia .....
Ok now my problem.... today i finally decided to root my HTC DESIRE Z 2.3.3
Soft.num. : 2.42.405.4
Somewhere i found out that the only working way is according to the wiki it means that firslty i have to downgrade my phone i downloaded ADB installed needed packages .... i did every step according to wiki and when i type "adb devices" to my command promt it says "list of devices attached" and it finds my device.... but when i type "adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp" it says cannot start fre3vo no such a file or directory
it's a simple problem, adb is not finding fr3vo. try moving fr3vo, and the other files you downloaded and extracted, into the same folder where you're running adb from. or if you have adb access set up universally, in the terminal just cd into the directory where you have the files extracted.
Of course I did so but still nothing ..

hmm ok, did you extract all the files after downloading them? that's about all i can think of..
edit; and someties you have to make sure the name of the file hasn't changed since the guide was written.
And I didn't completely understand the second advice maybe my english is inappropriate or my pc knowledge is bad could u explain it a bit closely ?

sure, no problem. when you download the files in the guide, you also have to 'extract' them..... you right-click on the files and choose 'extract'... that will make them a folder instead of a zip file, and then adb will find the folder called 'fr3vo'. i hope this helps...
I didn't mean this but the second advice at first post

oh, i just meant that you can set it up so that adb will work no matter which directory you are in. in that case, in the terminal you run adb in the folder where you have fr3vo and the other files extracted. this is sort of the proper way, but i do not have mine set up this way.
unfortunately it's hard to know why adb is not finding the files.... but i'm sure you will get it to work, since you already have adb set up.
I used XP ...I could try it on w7 could it work?

Ok cool, I'm sure you'll get it. Sometimes getting adb set up can be tricky for people, but ya got that.

omg thanks guys a did everything according to the pdf guide and now iam perma rooted ... omg youre great guys ...now cpuld u tell me what would be the best rom for me ? i want something really fast and responsible .thank u one more time guys
oh guys ive found this one looking really interesting ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714187 I LOVE ICS so it could be really nice ..what do you think and then another think ..how to flash this rom how i get into recovery ?
power on while holding volume down, select recovery with the power button. wipe everything (in recovery use trackpad to select and scroll) then choose flash zip and follow the op in the thread.
mimicry and elitemod are the two best ics roms I've tried latley although its been months since I used others and I'm sure more are good now as well.
still find myself using gingerbread most of the time though, try a few roms out. do nandroid backups before flashing new ones, but flash a few roms to find out what you like. in the developers section you will find a thread that has links to all of the current roms and many from the past

sry for stupid questions but ... volume down+power ... i should use it when my phone is on or off? ... when i try it when my phone is on it does nothing
now i was just playing i wrote adb reboot recovery to command promt and it worked but i guess this is not proper way
adb reboot recovery. Is a perfect and flawless way to reboot into recovery. Its useful when a rom goes into a bootloop as removing the battery is not advisable(removing battery should be your last resort).
Edit: Don't forget to remove/delete PC10IMG.zip from your sdcard before you use the power + vol.down.
