Error wiping davlik

Alright, I know there are a few sources on this, but none of which I can see resolved it. I'm getting an error when trying to wipe my davlik cache, to do it in adb. When I try to run it in adb i get
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
# cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
cd: can't cd to /system/sd/dalvik-cache
#
any help?

I assume I can delete 1.5.2 from my sd card with no harm?

yeah. you can also delete 1.6.2 after you flash it.

Try:
cd /data/dalvik-cache
/system/sd/dalvik-cache is only if you have the newer A2SD (TrevE or Darktremor).

1.6.2 stopped this error from happening for me. I use my phone mostly at work since they have tight lock-down on machines -- it's extremely handy not to use adb (for me).

Im also having this issue. I was watching a video in which to wipe the dalvik-cache in recovery mode but it keeps giving me an error and to run it via adb?

How do I install the new recovery?

Put it on the internal sd card in the root folder, then power off. Once off press Vol Up+Power+Home and then flash update.zip.

Volume DOWN + Home + Power = Download Mode
Volume UP + Home + Power = Recovery Mode

That was quick, thanks! Gonna try as soon as I flash the FW!

Thanks for this, I'll go ahead and upgrade to JP2

Working on JP2 via update.zip posted by OP.
Thank you.

thanks all

Works well. Thanks!

Thanks for that, how do you flash 2.2 update. Via odin? I've downloaded the firmware but it is asking for password to unzip, does anyone have a password.

And you are certain that you are flashing with this update.zip ? Remember apps like RomManager also puts an update.zip in the root folder, so make sure that you are using the correct update.zip

Tried and not functional on JP2, tested root explorer, auto killer, no root achieved, either by adb or update.zip

Works fine for me on JP2. Did the flash complete successfully?

Yes im 100% sure i am flashing the correct update.zip. It says the zip is bad? And then says flash failed.

How to unroot?

I did the one click root that does not require computer but now I needed to know how to unroot. I have asked several times within that thread but have not had an answer. Any help would be great...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

There are a few ways to do it, including manually via something like the Terminal app and doing it on your phone itself, or you can use the one-click Root/Unroot application that TGA_Gunnman created to unroot your phone. Please read the following thread, which will provide you with all the info and instructions you need to unroot your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
If you want to do it manually from your Vibrant itself, here's the post that will show you how to do it. You'll need to download Terminal Emulator (free) and then follow the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7374035&postcount=22

If you need to unroot for warranty purposes, i would suggest using ODIN
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091

Well I did the one click root/unroot app that is posted on here but I only see the option to root. The aop says root/unroot so I figured it would be easy with the same app but I guess not?...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I'm not sure, i didnt use either app, but basically, to unroot, the app will do what is posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728471
can be run through adb with these commands:
adb shell
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
Those are the apps/utils that are installed when you root. You just need to remove them, then reboot, then open terminal and type su, then you should get a "not found" error.
As far as the one click root/unroot app, im not sure.

I can't get into my phone (it turns on but it's fried) and I can't get ODIN or ADB to recognize it.
I've booted it into recovery mode and it's had all user data and cache wiped several times (not just by me). Will that take care of superuser/busybox or will it still appear rooted if I send it in? Thanks.

Help: Is there an Windows app that can backup the Streak ROM as an image file?

Hi,
Is there an app that you can run from a Windows XP laptop that can backup a Dell Streak ROM Image as a single file to a hard drive?
My apologies if this has been asked before, but I seem to only find backup apps that run on the device itself.
Thanks.
PS: Assuming if this is not possible, what is the best way to backup to a laptop hard drive?

You have to flash either StreakMod or ClockworkMod recovery and from there you do a nandroid backup and then copy that to your PC

Thanks for you reply. That's the step I wanted to avoid by installing a custom recovery.
So I suppose there is no other easier way if I just have a stock Streak with the stock Dell recovery?

Nothing at all. There are non root apps that will allow you to backup your user apps and their settings but anything related to the system will have to be manually reconfigured because your not rooted more than likely either. And those don't work well either.

He could do a system dump using ADB, but to do so he would...
...have to be rooted.
...have busybox installed.
...have to determine where the system partitions are (e.g. /dev/mnt/nanda for /system).
From there he could then execute the commands in a command prompt. For example, to do a system dump on my el cheapo Coby tablet, I use the following commands:
Code:
adb.exe wait-for-device
adb.exe shell mkdir /sdcard/dump
adb.exe shell su -c "cat /dev/block/nanda > /sdcard/dump/bootloader.img"
adb.exe shell su -c "cat /dev/block/nandc > /sdcard/dump/boot.img"
adb.exe shell su -c "cat /dev/block/nandg > /sdcard/dump/recovery.img"
adb.exe shell su -c "busybox tar -czvf /sdcard/dump/system.tgz /system"
mkdir dump
adb.exe pull /sdcard/dump dump
Putting it all together into a single file though is not going to happen. Besides, installing ClockworkMod or StreakMod and doing a nandroid backup through it is the best means of backing up the Streak.

stuck at circle

unlock bootloder,TWRP,super su, and I hane accidentally format it through TWRP now its not getting on just stuck on circle . in internal there is no data to flash and also not detecting adb or fastboot mode .
please help me

You'll need to get adb or fastboot working. Google 15 second adb drivers xda. Then adb push a rom on to your device while in recovery or side load a rom

Wipe your whole system via TWRP and restart into recovery. Connect your phone with your computer and check if your phone is recognized. Also check if you have install all necessary drivers.

Rename the rom zip you're trying to flash to just rom.zip and put it on the root directory of your pc. Then open a command window in the folder your adb.exe is and run the command
adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard/download
That'll put the rom on your device and you can then flash it in recovery

first use the command
adb devices
Does your device show up or do you get the same as you did before?
If it works use
adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard/Download/rom.zip

If adb devices doesn't show a device then you don't have the usb drivers setup. Did you try the 15 second adb install I posted in one of my first posts? Just Google it

Try a different usb port and cable. It will take a long time to push the rom, 5 to 10 minutes. It sounds like your usb connection is not good

This comes up if you try to execute a command adb doesn't know. Are you typing it in correctly?
Edit, I see the problem. You need a space after adb push c:\rom.zip. it should be adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard....
