I had 2.1 installed and working with root and then got a little jumpy and put the latest 2.1 (build 8023) release on it. That worked. I wanted to root the phone, but the androot app did not work even trying it twice. So I grabbed superboot and it installed, but now the phone won't proceed past the dell logo. I can get into fastboot mode fine, and can work cyanogen recovery great. With a stock recovery, it shows a black screen on option 2 trying to install the Update.pkg.
Any suggestions? The phone is essentially "soft bricked" at the moment.
Help!
Thanks,
Rick
Try this worked for me

If the above doesn't work there is another post floating around on Google which has different commands to run for flashing the stock recovery. From what I remember instead of just flashing the Rom, you can erase the other partitions prior to installing the recovery. Send me a pm and ill send you the files which finally unbricked my phone.

Factory reset the phone with stock recovery. Flash streak mod recovery, clear all caches. Install 1.9.0 streakdroid.
Sounds like you just keep flashing roms on to of roms without doing resets or anything like that.

recovering Streak
My Streak was completely bricked, would not even get the Dell logo, I went to this link http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
and got back running, since then flashed the 318 baseband, then the other days flashed the 351 baseband, and have flashed StreakDroid 1.9 I dunno how many times because I reset and install and uninstall apps,

what if im having a hard time gettin into recovery mode?
okay, so i tried to install CM7 test build 8 onto my phone. the install got up till checking BML/MTD and then failed. i was already on test build 7.
anyhows, clockwork said the rom failed to install and then rebooted. now the phone is stuck in a loop of booting into clockwork and then aborting an install.
i would normally have just started up ODIN and flashed down to stock DJ05 or EB01 and then do the lovely root process; but alas i sent my PC into HP today for repair and stuck using a Macbook for a week or two. (no one else in my family uses PC anymore; iPad and Mac family now...sigh)
does anyone know of a way to fix this? i'd like to avoid going back to my old droid 1 (so laggy).
Dude.. this goes in either the thread for that rom or the Q&A section. You might get quicker responses when posting correctly.
Good luck.
Sry, thanks for the help though

Im having the problem when I try to install it
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I know it sounds odd but pull the battery and then do the three finger salute. I know we aren't supposed to but trying to wipe through there and then install has helped a couple of us with this problem on miui. I did it and when it finally installed right I rebooted into recovery the proper way and wiped. Worked like a charm.
Hope this helps, brother.

I Agree with Tim. Three finger method and reflash CM7 Build number 7 (after wiping of course) Then try build 8 again. You will lose settings and data. Hopefully you backed up beforehand but if you're stuck in a bootloop it's a moot point. Hope this helps.

have done this twice. after install number 7 restart and reboot recovery and you will see your back to the orange cwm and good to go with number 8 install. wipe delvik
Quickest way back is to use the EB01 install package that is linked in the stickied thread about returning to to a TW ROM after running. Apparently the two ROMs Linked (Eclair and Froyo) have the right bootloader to work with the PIT file. Anyway that's what it says in the thread.
Flash EB01 (with atlas PIT). Flash a 3.x CWM and then try the CM7 procedure. No need for OTA updates or voodoo and/or lag fix, root, etc. Just plain ol stock EB01. This worked for me last night. I have not used the phone a lot since then but so far its been working OK.
He can't do that without odin brother..

try using virtualbox and install xp. it'd be your best bet. not sure if you'll run into driver issues, should work fine. if you need an XP install let me know, i have an iso on my server that needs 0 activation and should get you by.
you can try a linux live cd and then heimdall
I had streakdroid 1.9.1 installed on my rogers streak, I had quite a few issues with it and wanted to revert back to stock rom.
once I unrooted and factory reset I flashed the stock rogers rom via fast boot with the right recovery image.
one done I get the dell logo on screen and it stays there FOREVER.. like its been on the logo screen for over an hour.
What am I doing wrong and how long should it take to install and what not.
I might not have all the right info in here Im a newbie sorry in advance
Envious1
so I loaded the streak in fastboot mode
then on pc went to cmd and made sure I had the right recovery img in the folder and the right pkg file on the sdcard
put in the command and installed the recovery img
then the streak reloaded and I went to update.pkg and it did that
android system recovery utility - GAUSB1A13500
Press the shutter button to start emergency software recovery
ect...
now its stuck on dell logo.. how long should it take after an hour I rebooted and it went directly to white page that said emergency sofware recovery start.
what should I do.
you could flash 1.9.1 again, that will save your phone.
You could keep trying to flash a stock rom and eventually it will work.

how do I do that. via fast boot because I cant even boot into the dell only fastboot

Basically do what you did when you installed streakdroid 1.9.1 into your streak.
Then retry the stock recovery and rom again is, what i think eSZee is trying to say, correct me if i am wrong.
so I got 1.9.1 installed back on but now when I boot up and select dell stages I get a whole bunch of errors and closes it.
do I need to update the baseband is that my issue? if so how do I do that.
SD 1.9.1 breaks the Stage UI. DJSteve doesn't like stage and has no interest in it. Posts in the 1.9.1 thread have said that if you remove Stage from the Streak with 1.9.1 and then use the aps to re-install it it will work. YMMV and I don't use Stage or 1.9.1 so this is untested by me.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

Hello!
I purchased used atrix 4g. Since fingerprint scanner was not working well, I did OTA 2.3.6 update. It was 2.3.4 originally.
And I unlocked bootloader and rooted the android. And I installed recovery using autounlocker (something like that).
Yesterday, fingerprint scanner does not work well, I factory reset the phone. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem. So I tried to install custom rom including neutino rom to see it makes better. Somehow it did not boot after installation of neutrino. So I restore my backup from stock using CWM.
However, I got so many problem after the restore, like my wifi never connect....fingerprint scanner still does not work..
So I tried to install neutrino again....And something totally went wrong, I bet you call it infinite loop on logo screen.
So I decided to use RSDlite. I downloaded 2.3.6 5.4.151 att rom. And I charged phone overnight. And try to flash it.
Unluckily on second reboot, I GOT FAILED TO BOOT 1.
I tried to RSDlite again 2 times since the phone was still recognized by rsdlite. And just in case the rom I downloaded was defecti, I downloaded same rom from from another site. But it was same result.
Could anybody please help me? I am stuck here.
Any help will be appreciated! Thank you.
