You cannot install rom without clockworkmod recovery. And you were supposed to replace recovery.img, not boot.img.
Now, you need to download this: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDQxODE=
That is official android 2.3.5. After download, extract it, and there is a PDF file in there. Open it and follow the instructions inside it very carefully.
ahhh
ahh i think its an update to gingerbread ill download it and try it if it dosent work can you please keep a stepbystep guide ready or tell your friends on xda to solve my probl:fingers-crossed:
how
how to i get the file on my phone::fingers-crossed: tell me how to and keep ready another guide please
dude
dude i pressed volume up and down and power on i got a pink screen but :silly: it dosent connect to computer
After you have downloaded the official gingerbread, you need to extract the downloaded file. Go into the extracted folder and find the folder called "dload". Put the whole "dload" folder in the root of your sdcard (just go into sdcard and paste it there). After that, you need to go into pink screen.
To get your sdcard on the computer, you need to use a MicroSD Card reader, or you can borrow someone's smartphone, put your sdcard into thayt phone, and connect it to the computer. Then you can put the "dload" folder in your sdcard.
dosent
dosent work i tried with pink screen it never finishes and drains all my battery but when i copy the file some file called android secure comes tell me how to do it :crying:

don't wory. dload folder is on your external micro sd card. bring out the micro sd card from your phone, and insert it to a sd card reader/writer then,you can write files to sd micro sd card with your pc directry.

Hi guys
Let me start off by saying..I should have never attempted this myself.
I'm hoping somebody could please help me with my somewhat-bricked device..bricked in the sense that I don't know what to do with it. (i'm a noob to this). I've tried installing a custom rom and completely screwed up my dell streak 5.
So the phone doesn't boot anymore and just takes me to the option to install update.pkg off the sd card. I added the file along with recovery.img to the sd card.
360 17397 00 May 31, 2011 PKG Recovery Hash Latest Retail rom
My problem is that I cannot for whatever reason get Flashboot to work in order to flash the recovery.img first. under device manager you see android phone/android adb interface but still can't manage the connection to use cmd prompt/fastboot.
Is there any other way of getting the recovery.img to work without fastboot..maybe thru the sd card. I have no idea what i'm doing anymore. I've tried installing the update.pkg but after installation it just stays on the dell logo loading screen forever.
PLEASE help if you can.
Well lets start off to get you back on a stock rom, as it sounds like that would be the easiest at this point. We can move on to a custom rom from there.
The pkg file you downloaded....did you rename it update.pkg ?
If not, rename it update.pkg and make sure it is on the root of your sd card. Get to the recovery menu where you have the option of upgrading from update.pkg and choose it. In about 5 minutes, you'll have a clean stock rom.
I tried installing the 360 rom listed on http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
I did name it update.pkg
It went through the installation phase but on reboot it doesn't get past the Dell Logo loading screen. Any suggestions?
On the screen where you choose upgrade from update.pkg, choose factory reset and see if that helps
Tried both..unfortunately, same end.
Is flashing recovery a required step prior to doing this..because I was unable to do that.
Also, Thank you for taking an interest. I really appreciate it.
yes, you need to have the recovery for the rom you are flashing (at least when it comes to stock roms). My understanding is that the pkg file is encrypted and the recovery decrypts it.
I'm going to try to start from scratch here. I am also assuming you are using a Windows PC.
Download the drivers from Dell. Here's the link:
http://support.euro.dell.com/suppor...dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=433681
Install them and reboot your pc.
Download MultiRecoveryFlasher from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000455
Extract it to somewhere on you pc where you can find it.
Now this hasn't been updated to include 360's recovery, but that's ok. We don't have to run the utility. It's the support files that are included that we are going to use.
Download the recovery.img for 360 (which I think you have already done)
Put the recovery.img in the root folder of MultiRecoveryFlasher. There should be other files in there such as fastboot.exe, adb.exe, etc.
Power down your phone and restart it in fastboot mode (hold down camera and power button together until you get a white screen. When fastboot appears in upper right, select it and plug your phone into your pc)
Verify the phone displays fastboot ready
Open a command prompt on your PC
Type in the following command: fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Once that is done type in the following command: fastboot.exe reboot
Get ready to hold down the Volume + and - as soon as the screen goes black.
Now choose Upgrade from update.pkg
It should work now. If not, someone else may have to help you with another method such as QDL tool. I've never had to use that.
This is a screenshot of the problem i keep running into. i installed the drivers just as you said and am at the step with fastboot.
imgur [dot] com/gw2A0
Any advice? Thanks again
im an idiot.
i got fastboot to run and send over the recovery.img
currently installing the update.pkg but its still stuck at the Dell Logo screen upon reboot. No idea what is going on.
FIXED. You're a miracle worker. Thank you so much.
Only problem I have now is an irritating sequence of flashing buttons every now and then. Have you had a similar issue in the past?
THANK YOU so much again!
Are you on a stock rom still? Or have you moved on to a custom rom? Typically the flashing led's happen when you are running a rom with an "incompatible" baseband, but that should be pretty near impossible if you are running a rom installed from an update.pkg rather than an update.zip.
running the update pkg off the wiki site.
Only other problem I've noticed is that I can't get it to root. I've tried gingerbreak and superoneclick..both of which worked flawlessly in the past.
Baseband GAUSB1A134700-US
KERNEL 2.6.32.9-PERF
BUILD 17397
I really want another crack at getting streakdroid, but the phone just isn't budging. Tempted to flash/install another rom but worried as heck that this same incident is going to come up. (the flashing lights started after i updated the AMSS and DSP last night--my first attempt at installing streakdroid 2.3).
Installing the stock rom via the update.pkg file will overwrite the amss and dsp1. That's the biggest difference to the end user on update.pkg vs update.zip. It's the actual recommended way to install a baseband. There are several firmwares, besides amss and dsp1, that get installed with a pkg.
Now that you have MultiRecoveryFlasher on your pc, installed StreakMod (custom recovery) should be a breeze for you. The only thing to watch out for is since you have a stock rom now, the first time it boots it will rewrite the recovery back to stock. Here is how to get around this:
Download the custom rom of your choice.
Place the zip file on the root of your sd card.
Get your phone back in fastboot mode
Using MultiRecoveryFlasher, flash StreakMod
As soon as the screen goes black for the reboot, hold the volume +/- keys.
Choose option 2 again, this time it should take you into StreakMod
Choose flash from update.zip
On the next screen, choose search for zip file (similar wording)
Choose the custom rom from earlier
Let it do it's thing.
Choose reboot system now
Again, as soon as the screen goes dark, hold Volume +/-
Now choose option 1 - Factory Rest
Let it do it's thing.
It should boot up now and your custom recovery will stay intact.
Let me give you some friendly advice: Streakdroid 2.3 is too much of a work in progress. Install one of the other Streakdroids, Longhorn, Simple Streak, or even my Streakin' 354. Play with it for a while and learn a little more before jumping into one that may not be as stable.
As far as rooting a stock rom, the preferred method is via superuser.zip. I'm not at home, so I don't have the file to upload for you, but its on these Dell Streak forums somewhere. You have to have a custom recovery to use it though. The custom roms are all rooted already.
Thank you for everything
No problem. Did you get it working?

Absolutely and I couldn't have done it without you. If you had written out just one of the x number of tutorials out there, I don't think anyone would have run into the problems I did at first.
Streakdroid 191 runs like a charm---snappy and more responsive than stock ever was.
Glad to hear it...I was lost when I first started too. Someone helped me out and I just like to pay it forward. It's what makes this forum my favorite.

I am in need of some help, I recenlty rooted my phone via rEVOlutionary for GB 2.3.3, and now have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.2, this morning when I tried to do a backup something happened and I was put into a bootloop, i tried wiping the data to see if that helped and of course it didnt, now when i try to boot into recovery and access my Nandroid backups i get the message that says "E:Can't mount /sdcard", Im a noob and have no idea what to do, i have done some research and tried the RUU method but my phone doesnt get recognized by the USB port and i cant complete the RUU method.
I can only access my SD card when i put it into an adapter and view it via my comp, i have reached the end of my rope and really do not want to take my phone to the geek squad as it is s-off and most likely will not be helped as rooting voids warranty, can anyone help me or point me in a direction for a potential fix?
Not sure if this will help but have you tried a different SD card? Maybe the one you're using got corrupted some how or whatever.
If that doesn't help then download this RA-supersonic-v2.3 and place it on the root of your SD card which means don't place it in any folders or anything like that and follow these directions which I pulled from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go
Once you're in that recovery, see if you can mount usb...that's the only thing I can think of....GOOD LUCK dude!!
thanks for that quick reply, i will try it now and see if it works out...
I was able to run the update and open the .zip while in HBoot, and went into recovery but again received the message that reads "E:Can't mount SD Card", when I go to the SD & Phone Storage section of my EVO settings Menu it does not show the total space avaliable for the SD Card...
I have a 2GB SD Card that lying around that i will try out tomorrow...anymore help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
no luck, the 2GB card didnt work and the 8GB cant be read either, I tried funning the .ZIP but it goes into recovery however i can not run any .ZIP files because the sd card cant mount...
Took it to Best Buy, they are sending me a new one in 3-5 days...now to not repeat this again...
Hi everybody,
I have a serious problem with my Ideos x5 (U8800). I tried to upgrade to the Aurora ICS ROM and bricked my phone. Some quick info:
- I have the Gingerbread update on my PC (dload/UPDATE.APP)
- I can't boot into recovery mode
- I can't access my sdcard
- I can boot into pink-screen mode
- Phone keeps rebooting itself when I try recovery mode
- Tried replacing boot.img and recovery.img with original files
- Before it started to reboot itself I tried recovery in CWM
I downloaded the Android SDK, but I have no idea what to do with it.
[EDIT] Ok, so I tried rebooting the phone with adb but it fails to recognize my device when I use "adb devices".
If anyone can help me get SOME kind of ROM installed, I would love you forever. I might even throw in some cash. I can't afford a new phone
Sincerely,
You need some micro sd reader/writer.
1. Format sdcard
2. Put dload folder witch contains GB update to root of sdcard
3. Take battery out
4. Plug usb in
5. Boot and press both volume keys while booting phone.
6. Update should start

Thanks for the answer.
I was thinking something like that myself.. I'll get a sd-reader tomorrow and get back here if it worked out or not.
[EDIT] Yep, as I suspected. It worked really good. A big thank you, fine sir!
Mods could delete thread or keep it for future reference for others.
Hi all,
I have a bit of a problem.
I had an old Oxygen (?) 2.3.? but wish to upgrade to ICS so after installing the 'official' 2.3.5 was following steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728.
I got up to the bit about installing Clockworkmod. When I tried to go into recovery mode for some reason (I must have screwed something up) it went back into the Firmware update (presumably because I still had the sd card with the 2.3.5 updated on it). It gets through the first step of the update but when it goes to start step 2 it comes up with 'Update failed'.
If I remove the sd card and try to start up normally I get the blue screen.
I can get to the pink screen but I'm not sure what to do from there.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
H.

Thanks for the suggestion. How do I see what is missing? I have tried various USB drivers but so far haven't found one that will mount the device. Do I need to use logcat with adb?
Any idea why it will no longer allow me to simply reflash the stock rom?
By the way, the device is the standard u8800 - not the -pro.

Not in blue screen, you must go to pink screen mode(by pressing vol+/- end power when the device is turned off). There you'll be able to see the folder with the system files on pc.

Now I'm confused.
When I connect the phone to my Windows computer (tried XP and 7 in both pink and blue modes), the device does not register. Windows detects the new device and asks for drivers. I have tried different ones but none that I've tried so far will see the device. If someone could give me a link to drivers that definitely work I would be most grateful.
Like I said in my original post, if I leave the SD card in it tries to do the firmware upgrade but fails. Is there no way to 'reset' the phone somehow so that the firmware upgrade will go through? Perhaps downgrade to an older version first??
Thanks,
H.
There is not blue screen mode. Blue screen just shows that the system files don't exist. If recovery image doesn't exist you get a blue screen when you try to reboot to recovery mode. If you cannot boot normally, probably boot.img is erased(or maybe all system files which are on Image folder are erased).
Also if you had flashe an official rom version higher of B518, you probably have a locked pink screen, so it doesn' t matter if you have or not drivers because you cannot access the special partition which has the Image folder with all system files anyway.
Now, if the update proccess of official rom stops or second step(after unpacking proccess), probably a partition on the device is corrupted and the update cannot write to it. There is a special update, which you can flash with the same way as the official rom(put it on dload folder), and maybe can solve the problem. I' ve posted it on another thread here before some time. The filename is: update-160up
try to search the forum and hopefully you will find the thread(which has some isntructions and comments also).
You can try to flash a 2.2 official rom also. Maybe the update will succeed then.

Depending on your model you need to restore its pinkscreen stock files. The boot.img will fix the bluescreen. Heres oxygen's boot.img. Mount via usb to computer*

please someone to help me?!
If your friend installed a rom not meant for this phone, it might happen the /system or /boot images were installed to wrong place, messing up the phone. It would be a great help if you would link the rom your friend tried to install so I could see what is messed up.
If you can access pink screen, do you have the image/ folder with the boot.img and recovery.img?
By the way, if it is stuck on boot image, does it say anything in the PC? Like a device connected?

How?
Can u be more specific?
Sure, what I mean is that ... linux is more like android than windows for example in much cases u dont need drivers to your device also file system is alike ex4 or other not ntfs ;P ,,, its worth tryin conecting it to Linux .... all u need is be patient and dont make stupid moves like throwin phone on wall (that not helps "tested on SE P1i")
