Finally went and made the beginnings of a general flashing guide that should eventually cover the basics of everything streak related.
forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak/Flashing_Guide
For the time being I ask that noone directly adds to the list and instead gives me the details to add myself. As it's a wiki I cannot force anyone to do this but i WILL edit it to match the phrasing or possibly remove it if it's redundant.
It is intentionally not excessively verbose/detailed as too much additional detail is only needed if you're completely new to flashing/messing with software.
It doesnt handhold your way though flashing stuff, if you dont know how to use the command line you should NOT be flashing roms as when you brick you only have your self to blame for not having the needed prereq ability pc wise.
It also only covers windows as I only work/dev on windows, if anyone on *nix/osx wants to give me the OS specific details i'll go ahead and add it
It's also missing most of the details on how to use QDL tool as i've never used it or needed it. I need someone to add/help me add the details in the same guide style without handholding users though using it
It's also very generic as installing most roms dont have specific requirements to them (excluding setting up SD's install.txt which is it's own thing)
it does NOT and will not cover using automated tools such as Gingerbreak or mutlirecovery flasher as automated tools ultimately mean that you do not wish to read the instructions on how to do it properly. (on the streak at least) (no offense to respective makers)
edit: it should also NEVER contain links to the forum and especially "read this post to do xxx" stuff, it should be more or less self contained except with regards to downloading files, which should either be direct links (preferably not on a filesharing site like multishare/etc) or links to another section of the wiki containing links
I know there's a couple users about with compiled guides but I cant recall who/which offhand as I dont need them myself. I'd like your input whoever you are
Great job!

Dude, do you expect us to know everything you did, what kind of phone you have, what procedure you followed, where you messed up, etc. etc. just by showing a few Errors?
If you're serious about getting answers, you better start getting serious about providing usefull information that can help members better understand what part of the procedure eventually led to these errors. We do not have a crystal ball nor can we look in your head from here.
So please retry your topic by:
- First watching the n00b-clip (You've come across the link a few times now, a quick search will provide you the video again, please watch it.)
- Reconsider what you have done, what you should have done and what you'd better not do.
- Use the f*** Search!
- Though it's a long shot, maybe if you actually read other posts on these forums, you'd actually learn stuff from it.
- If you still feel we should tell you where you made a mistake we need info:
+ Detailed step by step description of what you have done thusfar to arrive to this error, what you've been reading to help you guide through it, what questions you might have about the guides and please share any assumption you have made. (Since assumption is the mother of all fckups )
+ Including, but not limited to, the version numbers of the firmwares, roms and bootloaders you started with and the ROM('s) version you'd like to have installed. Supply rich/detailed comments about how exactly you think it should work and how it differs from what you're experiencing.
+ Do not expect anyone responding AD HOC. You want help, you better give people a reason to provide you help. Bumping a thread within a few hours with little or no usefull information is pointless. You only accomplish people to be annoyed by your nagging.
Users behaving like You do here, and threads like this one, are THE SOLE REASON most more experienced members do not respond to n00bs and limitations are applied to new member accounts.
If you do not want to go through this trouble, you should not have come to this website. It's really important you do your own research first and only after you've tried (almost) everything and read most manuals concerning your attempted ROM-setup; then you can try to ask others to look into it.
Memorize what I've said here, it's the basic code of conduct to this tech forum - and many other tech forums on the internet.
I have been browsing here for a couple of months now, I did not have to ask a single question about flashing or upgrading my devices since everything was already explained in detail. Personally I'd rather search than that I waste anyone's time asking for that what has already been answered.
Consider this thread your one place to chat or anything else related to jellybean on the Asus Transformer.
I need everyones help to keep this thread somewhat sane, report any trolling or flaming and don't respond to it.
All other threads on this topic will be closed.
Keep all your posts in this thread polite and make sure you follow the rules

1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.
14. Create only one User Account
You are allowed one User Account at xda-developers. If you create additional accounts, Moderators will disable them and your original account may also be disabled or infracted.
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
16. Bumping Threads (posting simply to force a thread to the top of the thread queue)
Do not "bump" a thread more than once per 24 hours.

Thanks,
It's good to remember that we have rules in xda.
If you are a new member, junior member or young senior member, force yourself to read these rules.
This is to avoid to close your OP or delete your post.
And then especially seek and read a bit more before posting anywhere.

I solved, we need to download an pak directly from asus it is called "boorloader unlock" in this way you unlock the device and you can Apply all the steps. I think is better to say this, some noob like me could be very confused.
the asus link is
http://www.asus.it/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
In the guide there is the name of the apk bloatware files...but how can I delete them? Root explorer?

Ah ah ah, you are really a joker.
Do you think that I give the pain to write and update an index for TF300TF / TG for nobody reads it.
and in this index, you will find the unlock tool and the download link
You will find the link to this index in a large number of posts and the OP.
Therefore take care, and give you the time to read and to search for a little!!!!
Ok thanks for the teaching...you need patience with people like me, I'm still learning

Since my thread got closed, even though it was about the "general procedure" and not specifically discussing Jelly Bean in any way, just asking if I might as well use the WW version of a JB-based ASUS official FW instead of the recommended US one, siberian tiger requested me to post this here.
Hey there! I'm getting a TF300 pretty soon and just wanted to make sure I got the necessary steps for some fun with it right..
1st: Rooting
2nd: Bootloader Unlocking
3rd: Upgrading to JB without losing root
This correct so far? Is the US Update mentioned in the 3rd step really necessary or can I use an equivalent WW version of the Update?
Please don't hit me with the stick, I'm just trying to get the most out of the TF300 without turning it into a doorstop.

Your thread has been closed in order to regroup all the discussions on JB in general and especially to avoid having too many posts unnecessary and repetitive.
Don't take it as a punishment or anything else. It's not.
It is more convenient to manage the answers.
And for all of your questions, I can say that it's correct
You can buy your TF300T quietly

I have a 32 Gb sd card class 10 - it's partitioned: 20 Gb NTFS format (for the movies) - and the rest to Fat32
be care !!!!!! i bricked my tf300t
Hi All..
My TF300t is unlocked and rooted . I installed the new JB and then I was trying to install CWM. I used fastboot to push it to the device. When I rebooted, holding down the volume button, It came up to the menu with RCK, USB, etc. I selected wipe data by accident. It sat there for a while saying it was going to wipe and go into the boot loader. After a while I shut it off thinking it was hung. Now when I power on the device I get only the ASUS startup screen. Volume up or down don't affect the mode. It just says "The Device is Unlocked" at the top, and the static ASUS logo in the middle. When I plug in the USB to my Windows 7 computer I get nothing in the device listing.
i install universal naked driver
and could enter in APX mode and my pc show apx driver
how can i restore my bootloader and fastboot
i did not have nvflash backup
many thanks

Warning: Uninstall any previous driver package's you may have installed and also manually remove drivers by attaching your phone and going to Windows device manager and right click the entry for your phone and select "Uninstall" on the next prompt make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device" then hit OK and reboot before installing these drivers

It's writing in the OP of the Universal naked drivers. Have you uninstalled your old packages ?
So actually, it's better to uninstall all your packages from your computer, reboot, and re-install U.N.Drivers
And never forgotten to making always backup. It's better to do more than none
Try this and report a feedback

sorry. but what you mean whit old packages ?
i installed APX driver successfully ,and my pc recognized the tablet as APX device
but the question : any hope to restore bootloader or fastboot in APX mode
thenks
I think that it will be good to read this, if it help you:
Tegra3 Guide: nvflash
Have you made this ?
To do this please reboot your tablet into APX mode by holding down the volume up key during the reboot process. If successful the screen should remain blank and be detected over USB by your computer as an NVIDIA APX mode device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if it's run, you can make this:
To “bootstrap” into nvflash using wheelie simply run the following command:-
Code:
$ wheelie --blob blob.bin
If successful your device will boot into nvflash mode and the bootloader screen will appear on the device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
Have you got those symptoms on your TF ?
- Blank screen,
- apx only detected,
- holding power down does nothing
and if you have those symptoms, the only solution seems RMA, if you don't have a working bootloader and didn't made the nvflash setting process you're done, or backup.

FAT32 supports up to 4GB file size. Anything beyond 4GB would need NTFS or exFAT.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits
You probably don't need NTFS at all unless you are gaining the added benefits of it within JB.
