[Recovery and Rom] Stock US 1.6 Build 6601 - Streak 5 Android Development

Recovery
You should have fastboot installed properly on your system to be able to flash it.
Heres a quick guide for Mac (which is really similar to Linux, search for XP guides which are available all over)
FASTBOOT
Download Fastboot from http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
Unzip and move to whatever folder you want.
I put it in /Users/MyName/Android
OPTIONAL Rename from "fastboot-mac" to "fastboot" (makes following guides made for xp and linux easier)
Now you have to append it to your .bash_profile
Easy Way
Follow instructions on http://donovan.covblogs.com/archives/027838.html to edit the bash_profile visually with textwrangler.
Your .bash_profile should look like this:
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/MyName/Android
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
remember to edit the path to wherever you put your fastboot file (some people like to put it in the tools folder in the android sdk so adb is added to the .bash_profile as well)
or
Terminal Way
Code:
export PATH="$Path:/Users/MyName/Android"
Hit enter
Now refresh your .bash_profile
Code:
~/.bash_profile
To see if you've done it right
Code:
fastboot --help
or
Code:
fastboot --h
If the help text shows in terminal in another directory other than where fastboot is then you've got it right
Code:
$fastboot --help
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id
To use the fastboot command your device has to be in fastboot mode
Enter FASTBOOT_MODE
Hold power button with device off and when the Home/Menu/Back buttons light up, release power button then press and hold the camera button
Dell logo will appear shortly followed by a white screen.
Tap fastboot in the top right
Thank you mzsigler from modaco for pointing out this simple step i missed.
finally:
FLASH RECOVERY IMAGE
Download the attached file and unzip it.
Make sure terminal is in the directory where the recovery-US6601.img is.
Use
Code:
pwd
to see which directory ur in
Code:
$ fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery-US6601.img
sending 'recovery' (3280 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY
$
Now reboot your device and hold both volume keys to get into recovery mode.
To the 6 people who downloaded it first, i might of uploaded the wrong one because i forgot that before i did nandroid backup i had flashed a different recovery to get clockword mod to work. This should be the right one now which was pulled using adb shell before clockworkmod.

Dell Streak stock US 1.6 Build 6601
There are several ways to restore/flash this i'll mention 2 Fastboot and nandroid
Fastboot
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x413c flash system system.img
fastboot -i 0x413c flash cache cache.img
fastboot -i 0x413c flash userdata data.img
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Technically you don't need to worry about flashing cache.img and data.img but i performed this backup after a factory reset so your not taking any of my personal info/data
fasboot didn't work for me for so i restored with nandroid
Nandroid
+Create a folder named "Clockworkmod" on your storage card
+In that folder create a folder named "backup"
+Create a folder in "backup" named whatever you want and place boot.img, system.img, cache.img, data.img, recovery.img and nandroid.md5 in that folder.
+Flash Clockworkmod Recovery
2.5.0.1 didnt work on mine but 1.8.1.7 did :/
+Enter clockworkmod recovery
-Power on device while holding both volume keys, then select "2. Software upgrade via Update.pkd on SD Card"
Now you should be in ClockworkMod Recovery
-Scroll down to nandroid using the volume keys and press the camera button to select it
-Select Restore and choose your folder (the one you placed in the backup folder)
Now although this flashes 1.6 build 6601 it doesn't return the baseband to *****31
this is what mine now reads
Basband version
GAUSB1A110421-US
Kernel version
2.6.29-perf
OEM version
GAUSB1a111231
Build number
6601

Also be warned that after i returned to 1.6 i got the crazy home/menu/back lights as seen in this video I'm guessing it has something to do with the 21 baseband and 31 oem version

---

I think this is worthy of a sticky great work my friend keep it up

---

thanks for the files. wonder how to restore the 6601 baseband.

Yep, trying to figure that out now.. well back it up first from a device that hasn't been messed with.

---

I have followed both sets of instructions (fastboot and nandroid) and I keep getting stuck at the Dell logo. During nandroid restore it gives me the error "Cannot format DATADATA" then stops. Any ideas?

---

when i flashed the recovery my screen got stuck at a black screen after the reboot

---

Worked great for me. Back to the out of the box experience.

---

do you have flashing lights though? or did your baseband not change? Also, maybe after returning to 6601, you can apply the 31 build? Or you already tried that, didn't you, fone? No change to baseband?

which method did you use to flash and can you still access the recovery but holding down both volume buttons after you power your device on?

Does your baseband end in 21-US or 31-US and are your capacitive button lights going crazy or normal?

My baseband is still at 21-US although OEM version is at 31. I have a suspicion that fastboot isn't properly writing the recovery.img for me..
I tried to use that latest update and half way through i got an error "FOTA model name mismatch"
I'm currently trying to figure a way to pull the baseband so we can do a true full restore. (now i'm worried if i can get 2.2 when its released since my device is at 21-US)

I had flashing lights. Flashing r2-4399-streak-superboot fixed the problem.
I am still at my original baseband. 21-EU
Stock 31 update is 4917. Why would you want to downgrade from 6601?

---

because we are in the US and are a little concerned we may not be able to apply the 2.2 upgrade with a modified baseband. fone, i don't think the baseband change will make a difference. i am concerned about the flashing lights as of right now.

I can still get to the recovery using the buttons but when I select the second option that's when I get stuck at a black screen. I flashed the recovery through fastboot

---

No change in numbers and now no flashing lights. Still can not get to recovery, clockworkmod just reboots and button mode goes to standard recover and selectin option 2 goes black screen.
