I've used Universal Androot on the Froyo build on the Streak - for some odd reason you have to do it twice (some report three) times in a row for it to work.

So your device is now not booting and when you turn it on you just get the DELL logo right?
If yes then what I would do is either flash the ROM again via koush's recovery [I'm assuming you have a custom recovery installed because you have managed to flash a ROM and it's now not working] in the recovery options there is a partitions menu, in there wipe boot, system and cahce reflash the rom form a zip
If that dosent work, put the latest update.pkg file on your device, flash the stock recovery via fastboot then flash the update.pkg via stock recovery
Try that

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.

hello all. i was running the stock at&t 2.2 build 15697 version 331 and hated how slow the phone was running. i was trying to downgrade back to the at&t 1.6 so that i can flash over to streakdroid 1.9.0. there were no instructions on the net on how to downgrade from 2.2 build 15697 to 1.6 and so i tried following the direction from the Guide to Upgrading and Downgrading the Streak thread. doing that bricked my phone and now im stuck on the dell logo boot up screen. tried flashing the recovery for build 15697 using fastboot and still no go. can someone please help me out. been searching for about 4 hours now and no help anywhere on the net. thanks in advanced everyone.
You don't need to downgrade to 1.6 in order to get 1.9.0. Where did you read that was required?
Just flash streakmod recovery, put the streakdroid zip on the sd card, same with install.txt, and follow the rest of posted directions.

i was following the directions on the upgrade/downgrade guide thread. i was under the impression that i needed to flash to O2 os.
thanks for the info...ill let you know if it works.
If you are not sure how to do the flashing of the recovery there is a tool that can be used on your computer. Look for it in the streak dev sub forum.
It is call multirecovery tool. It has all the recoveries you would need. You would have to put the rom you want on the sd card and install it with the recovery.

ok whew! using streakmod recovery saved the day. thanks a lot for the info! you're a life saver!
I tried using all the steps about copying the Update.zip file to sdcard, it didnt work. Error message came when reinstalling packages is (Invalid Signature) in the recovery menu.
I tried z4root, didn's work either.
I am helpless.

I can help you
superoneclick. that is all
Careful!
SuperoneClick does it!
Careful with rooting my friend. I got a Galaxy S bricked within 1 week, hard bricked.
Do you have android 2.2 or 2.1 and do you have usb debugging enabled?

Have you tried using the toolbox?
root
Just find z4 root app install and it will root you.
I installed super one click. Its done!
But, I installed ROM Manager and cant flash it.
Did you open rom manager and hit the top tab and pick vibrant?
Its probably because you have 3e recovery! The easiest way is to flash back to 2.1 eclar, use z4root then flash CWM with rom manager thats how I did it

Hi, I have a dell streak with build 12903 and a firmware of 2.2 and I wanna root it I came across 2 rooting methods. One is using superoneclick and the superuser.zip. And I am actually curious on which one I should use on rooting my device so can anyone tell me which method should I use? Tks alot.
Use the superuser.zip method. It works for me every time.

The root method has nothing to do with the capacitive lights flashing, that usually indicates mismatched baseband and ROM.

Can't you just use GingerBreak to root stock 2.2?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Just install it like any other app and follow the instructions
Much easier than messing around with SuperOneClick etc. Most of the "other" rooting methods didn't work for me
Installing StreakMod Recovery and flashing Superuser.zip works 100% of the time, regardless of ROM. That is why it is the recommended method of rooting the Dell Streak.
Gingerbreak won't work if you have an AT&T ROM since AT&T ROMs disable sideloading. Thus you're required to connect the Streak to the PC and either send the APK to the Streak using the Sideload Wonder Machine or use ADB from the command line to push the APK to the phone. If you have to connect the Streak to the PC anyway, you might as well use the recommended method and get it done without having to worry about whether your ROM can actually run Gingerbreak.
Superoneclick does not work on every ROM either, I believe due to the exploit that allowed that rooting method to work being patched. So again, run the recommended method. Besides, if you rely on one-click methods, how are you supposed to learn ANYTHING about your device?

You must upgrade to 407 rom then install custom rom, such as: DSC 2.2 or CM7.

Hi All!
Maybe this is not the fastest way to get a streak running, but I thought I might share a fairly fast way.
This procedure will take you to a completely clean pdroid DSC 2.2 Streak.
Put 407 update.pkg on the external SD
Startup in Fastboot mode and flash 407 recovery image on your device, I used multiflasher to do this
Start up in recovery mode and apply update.pkg
Let the system continue all the way until you see the welcome screen
Shut the system down by long press on power and acknowledge
Put DSCv2.0-rel.zip, PDroid-v1.31-DSCv2.0.zip and updDSCv2.2-PDroid.zip (optional DSC_StageUI.zip) on the external SD
While the system is down cut out the plastic covering the internal SD and put in a class 10 (I used a sandisk 4GB class 10)
Boot normally and let the system format the internal SD
Again, when at the welcome screen shut the system down
Startup in Fastboot mode and flash your favorite recovery for flashing .zip-files (I use StreakMod-Recovery)
Start up in recovery mode and flash all zip files in the same order as mentioned above, then wipe cache partition, clean dalwik cache and fix permissions (Optionally make a nandroid backup of the very clean system)
Done, Let the system boot up and set up your device as per your own liking
I'll monitor this thread to answer any specific questions.
PS, _n0p_, I can't thank you enough for this development and yours and everyone elses tireless support! I was so worried when your Streak was dead for a while. Lets hope there is some hope for CM9 and/or CM10

i wanna some one help me to install this rom and help me to enter to streak mod recovery

flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
If you don't understand fastboot, you have a lot of reading to do before you attempt to root your Streak. Unless of course you want a shiny paperweight. Check the Development forum, the sticky posts at the top of each page, and the XDA Developers Wiki for information on how to root.
i am actually now rooted my device by gingerbreak
now i wanna to enter to StreakMod-Recovery but i can't just i wanna some one help me to enter to StreakMod-Recovery)

Hold down both volume buttons while turning the Streak on. Select option 2 on the screen that appears.
One thing: upgrade to ClockworkMod. Some files cannot be installed by StreakMod.
I wanna to thank you bro for your help

If you're running Windows, look for a thread on MultiRecovery Flasher and read it. The version of the program you want is Multiflasher, which is near the end of the thread.
