Hello All,
Anyone having issues with their Dell Streak where the three lights randomly flash 4 or 5 times and then goes black for a few minutes? I just rooted my phone and am now running into this issue!!
Thoughts or recommendations on how to stop this!! It is quite frustrating.
If you would search you'll find several solutions..
It's most likely something to do with flashing an incorrect recovery

What Should I Search On?
I have yet to find any solution to this problem. If anyone can point me to a direction to search, I would appreciate it.
This happened to me couple of times.
As far as I know this is because you have incompatible versions of baseband and ROM. This should not happen after rooting or flashing only recovery. But It happens if you flash new ROM, and leave old baseband, for example new StreakDroid requires you to update baseband
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909263
I think (I'm no expert), that official updates through Update.pkg flash both ROM and compatible baseband (amss.mbn). But if you flash only ROM through upgrade.zip file, it will flash only ROM and leave baseband alone, and thus you can end up having incompatible versions.
Depending what do you want to flash, you can use Update.pkg and it should fix the problem (lots of them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112)
Or if you want to flash custom ROM through .zip file, make sure you have proper baseband.
Just qdl it and let it reflash both the rom and bb for u. No flashing capacitive lights.

Hey,
I just got my phone out to see that it was stuck on the Dell boot logo and required a battery pull to fix it.
Strangely, 5 min before I was writing an email and the gmail app crashed.. but it was still on and running fine.
It's stock 118 and rooted.
Any ideas?

Do you have any particular reason to still be on 118? (as in build 8116 correct?)
Would it be possible for you to make a nandroid of 118? I have never seen one of that version.
Apologies, I meant 318!
And the reason is because I've just got it the way I want it.. although I am being pestered to update to 351 by my Streak.

In addition, recently I've tapped the power button to bring it out of sleep and nothing has happened. If I continue to tap, it will bring up a frozeb screen I can't do anything with and requires a battery pull to get it back up.
What's going on with this? It's been so stable for so long...
Help please.

Come on guys, of the hundreds of you on the forum, someone can surely offer some advice....

This is a broad problem and there are dozens of threads with fixes. I spent days researching the same problem and you should ad well. What worked for me in the end was Streakdroid 1.9.0.
Reset the device to factory settings and try different roms.

What I don't understand is why it's only just started happening?
Surely if it was a board problem it should have been happening at least since the update to 318?
If you could link some for me, I'd appreciate it, I've searched on "Freeze" "Power button" but aren't finding anything.
Again, my apologies but nothing I try in the search box finds ANYTHING remotely similar to my issue.
Factory reset. Have you tried that? If that doesn't do it. You need to reflash.

I have the same problem as you right now.
I spent two days trying to fix this but failed,
there are so many ways you can try to fix, but i don't know if you have enought knowledge to do it.
1. using dell recovery to do the factory rest, if the problem exists,
2. flash other roms, if the problem exists,
3. using stread Mod recovery to wipe out the cache and user data, if the problems exists,
4. flashing the custom rom Streakdroid 1.90, if the problem exists,
5. redo No.1, and 3, if the problem exists,
6. do the QDL method, if the problem exists
you are at the same stage as me right now, and I am thinking it might be the internal SD card failure problem.

4. using QDL method
If it's a board problem, how would a factory reset fix it?
Is it fact that the board is faulty, or is it just assumed along with possible issues with the internal memory card?
Thanks

After two days of harding working,
I finally get my phone working again.
If QDL can not solve stuck at logo problem, try run internal SD card test, it is more likely the internal SD card is failure, just replace it with a new one should work.
Isn't that a bit easier said than done?
Requires taking most of the device apart, doesn't it?

Hi people
The support for the streak is crap. not enough people chipping in on making it as good as it can be. im in the middle of trying to port over themes to the streak so we can all have a better looking experiance. but for some reason after flashing nothing apears to show. even when editing the res of the original rom package and installing the rom again the changed pngs dont show up? the strangest thing is the one i deleted are showing up? dj_steve hasnt been online and im impatiant so is there anyone else who may have a answer to this
I would like to see Streakmod Recovery working properly without having to jump through hoops just to get a nandroid backup to work.
Why dont you just install other one lol

I just had my first try at nandroid, running streakmod, 1.9.0 with 351bb and it was finished within 3 minutes, no issues.

He is referring to bb 347 btw... so your post means nothing to him.
Ok, here's an overview of things for those unwilling to read the Streakmod Recovery thread.
I upgraded from 347 to 351 without a hitch. This includes the baseband. Streakmod Recovery hangs at fastboot but is otherwise functional. This is apparently a common issue with Streakmod, and one the developer I believe is unlikely to fix.
Clockworkmod's menu screen appears if you have the right version, but you cannot select anything. Clockworkmod force closes and reboots the phone. Other versions result in a black screen, requiring you to pull the battery to restart the phone.
The only solution given was to essentially put Streakdroid on the phone and then flash over that with 351. That's not a solution, but a workaround. Not acceptable either because as I made clear to the person who proposed this solution, I shouldn't be required to put something I don't want on my phone to get something I do want.
Any questions?

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!
My x10 is stuck in a boot loop after I flashed the ROM.
How do i stop this from happening? I really like the look of the ROM over my current one.
Please help.
EDIT: Managed to get freex10 ROM running. So I have a useable phone now.
flash baseband which is included in the package and you should be fine
what bb are you using?

Same Issue I think
I think I am having the same issue but when my x10 boots it goes to unlock screen and then I have this loop with "The application ADW.Launcher(process.android.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. The device then flashes the Cynogen loading screen and goes back to the unlock screen where I get the same message and the same loop. My xrecovery doesnt work and I cant seem to get the phone to use the SE update manager because it also says its up to date and doesnt provide a repair option. Can anyone help with this? I dont care which android os I go to at this point as long as it will work.
You probably need to use flashtool to flash the .52 baseband fix. Unless you have .52 already.
If that doesnt work, try flashing 2.1 totally over again with flashtool.

Can someone link me a guide as to how to flash the ROM with flash tool?
I flashed the baseband with it but I used xrecovery for the ROM itself because I could not work out how to use the flash tool.
I'll try reflashing the baseband when I get home tonight.

To get out of the bootloop just flash back to 2.1 and start over again. And make sure to follow the instalation instructions given by the dev when flashing the rom.
I still can't work it out.
The ROM is in a .zip file and the flash tool doesent seem to be picking it
up and when I unzip it there are no selectable files.

The file you use in flashtool is an .ftf file

Then what do I do with a .zip?
yes, you DO flash the .zip file with xrecovery. step one, flash bb with flashtool, step two, start phone in xrecovery and flash .zip, reboot, and it should work.

first try SEUS that comes on your ROM( left click SE icon in 'my computer' install) if that one doesn't work, uninstall and install SEUS from SE site, but one of them will say 'repair'

Yeah, that's what I did the first time.
I just tried it again. Same problem.
Phone turns on, boots, sits on home screen for a few seconds then restarts.
Why would this happen?
EDIT: I managed to check the baseband version int he few seconds the phone was on, it says it is unknown. Would this cause this problem?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
The ftf files you need are on the second post. Just put the ftf file in the firmware section of the flashtool then flash it and follow the on screen instructions.
With baseband unknown go to the app on your phone called dev tools then go to bad behaviour and crash system sever when the phone reboots you should have signal and baseband will no longer be unkown.
I tried that, It keeps telling me I have my old Cyanogen mod for 2.2 installed when I do it.
In the process of running SEUS, hopefully it puts me back to 2.1

No, i dont think that is the cause of the rebooting cause ii get that a lot but the phone never reboots on me, what kernel are you on. Cause a lot of the custom kernels reboot when the screen is off or when you have the cpu up too high.
Hey folks,
I installed Helly Bean a few months back and just downloaded an updated version of the ROM - when I went to flash it I discovered that I can no longer get to Recover, when I choose 'Reboot' and select 'Recovery' the phone reboots but just lands on a black screen. The touch buttons at the bottom of the phone light up when you touch any of them - but otherwise nothing happens; I have to hold the power button to reboot the phone again and it just starts up as normal.
I tried using CWM ROM Manager to flash a new recovery (Choosing 'Samsung Vibrant (MTD)') - but it says there's no officially supported CWM Recovery yet for my device, and asks if I have installed one manually. I've looked into it...but I can't seem to find HOW to install one manually.
It's really not a pressing thing as my current ROM works well enough...but it'd be nice to figure out a solution. I'm still pretty much a noob at all of the Android development stuff...so please bear with me. Any advice would be most appreciated!
There was a build of helly that caused this issue. What is the build date you are running?

Looks like Sept 27th - thought I thought it was older than that.
It was actually the kernel that caused the issue, I'll look into the build date/number.
Edit:that is the build, flash the latest .tar kernel in Odin, then boot to recovery and flash new ROM.

Thank you for checking!
Quick follow-up! Back when I flashed the ROM (and previous ROMs) I had a PC - so I'm familiar with Odin, but since then it crapped out and now I'm saddled with a Mac. I've investigated a Mac alternative...but all the threads I've found have dried up download links and don't quite explain the process of setting it up. Any advice there?
Worse case scenario I boot up the PC and try to get through the process of using Odin - but as the problem is that the graphics card is dying; the thing could crap out again at any moment - which I assume could brick my phone if it happened mid-flash.
Thanks!
Not real familiar with Mac. Heimdall is the only program I'm aware of, Im not sure if you can flash a kernel with it. Sorry

Got it solved with Odin. Thanks for the point in the right direction!
