Hello,
I rooted my phone with z4root, and then installed SuperUser and ROM Manager v4.2.1.0.
I flashed ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 (selecting Dell Streak version). When I try to "reboot into Recovery" (using ROM Manager), the phone will reboot to the startup screen, not to ClockworkMod Recovery screen. If I try to boot to recovery by holding the VOL + and -, it will reboot to the stock recovery screen.
I bought this Streak USED, and I think that the previous owner had flashed a 2.2 version on it before the official upgrade. Is there a way to reset this back to the original settings? I would like to use StreakDroid 2.0.0. Am I missing a critical step in the procedure? Thank you all for your help in advance.

Stop using rom manager, qdltool the phone, then try again. Rom manager has caused a lot of problems for a great deal of people I know.

You don't need to go back to the original settings if you plan on using a custom ROM, it's a waste of time....
You should've read through more threads and found out ROM Manager doesn't play well with the 5" Streak. Anyway, you need to look for the thread under Streak Android Development called Streakmod Recovery and download that recovery image...
Secondly you need to look for the "fastboot" folder download and get that on your computer so you can flash the Streakmod recovery image.
Thirdly you need to download the baseband you wanna use.... I think most have gone from the 318 baseband that was engineered to work for StreakDroid 1.9 to the 351 baseband and it's working for StreakDroid 2.0 also. (if you are just getting started I would personally suggest using StreakDroid 1.9 until DJ Steve has worked the kinks out of 2.0)
Aside from all I just told you you should look this link up to make sure you get all the correct drivers installed:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
This is also a very helpful BUT instead of using Clockwork Mod Recovery you will be using StreakMod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872214&highlight=flash+amss
Get this reading done and then start tinkering, it'll save you a lot of head ache.
I used to freak out when my Streak would take longer than normal to boot or all of a sudden reboot or something like that.... Now I've learned enough to where I'm not scared to tinker and do about anything to it because I've learned how to get it back

I don't think rom manager works with the streak
Hi,
recently i bought a retail dell streak.
it came with android 2.2.2 (stock).
i want to try streakdriod2.0, so i installed it.
i'm not satisfied with the performance, so i want to revert it back to stock(android 2.2.2).
I'm able to flash the dell recovery(351), then i'm downloaded 351 retail rom, from dell website.
After flashing the 351 ROM, it struck at dell boot logo, believe me i waited whole night in that screen.
Then i removed and reinserted the battery, then it shows a message like 'emergency recovery copy' then it will get restarted .
After that it will automatically takes me to the recovery. But the it will shows the recovery version as 347 ( i think it is reverting back to original (stock) recovery).Using the 347 recovery i flashed 351 rom, but the same things are happening again.
i've tried with all recoverys and roms, in xda form. none of them are working.
i've searched for 347 rom(which is the one i'm assuming as stock for me), but i'm not able to find any link for that.
Now i'm installed streakdriod 1.9 .
Is there any way for me to go back to stock os(android 2.2.2 ).
Sorry for my english.
Pls help me to get out of this problem.
This is an update to the post , as im describing the steps ive followed.
My device came with 347 (android 2.2.2) stock rom.(im not sure about this).
Currently i'm running streakDriod 1.9 ROM and StreakMod Recovery.
I'm trying to get back to stock ROM. These are the steps i followed.
1)Entered into fast boot, flashed amss.bin, DSP1.bin, and recovery for 351 official rom. And rebooted the phone.
2)When it reboots by pressing volume up and down at the same time, entered into recovery screen.
3)In recovery screen selected 'install update from SD Card'. It took me into the next screen.
4)Here it asked me to confirm the installation by pressing the camera shutter button. One more thing here is , i can see my recovery version as 351, which is good. Bcz installed 351 recovery via fastboot.
5)It will find the update package(351 official rom ) in SDcard and installs it successfully and reboots. Until now everything is working good as expected.
6)After reboot it will get struck at Dell Logo.
7)I removed the battery and reinserted. Once i turn on the phone, it will show a message 'Emergency recovery copy' and reboots. To stop this happening i tried to enter fast boot and recovery none them wont work.
8)After reboot it will directly takes me to the recovery second screen, where we need to press camera shutter button to confirm installation of update.zip like step 4.
Here i can see recover version as 347.That means device recovery got reverted back to stock 347.
9)if i install update(351 ROM) again here, it will install , reboots ,will struck at dell logo, we need to remove the battery, after inserting the battery it will show' emergency recovery copy' and reboots. Again i will come to the step 4.
It is like a cycle.
10)i tried with all versions of recovery copies and roms, which are shown in multirecovery thread.
11)I'm not able to find stock 347 rom, so i didn't tried with 347 ROM.
I think now i'm clear enough , so that everyone can understand my problem.
So what should i do. Help me.
my procedure is exactly like in this video, but the change is my device wont boot up, after installation.

Hi Mate,
Seems like you are stuck here. But don't worry the situation is not so bad it can be taken care of!!
I assume you already have the PKG of the 351 ROM which you tried installing.
Download the corresponding amss.mbn, DSP1.mbn and stock recovery.img
Once the download is done
Head to fastboot
Copy update.pkg to the root of SD (Make sure that the downloaded file is not corrupt it can also cause this issue)
Open Command Prompt with elevated permission
Set your phone into fastboot mode (Camera + Power Button) Tap on Fast Boot
Plug the USB cable into the system.
In command prompt go to the Fastboot folder
fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery 351recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
When the phone is rebooting immediately hold the Volume Up + Down keys to enter the RECOVERY
Select Software Update option and then at the Update screen press the Shutter Button to Start the Update
If everything is done as it is written, you will be back to stock
CHEERS MATE!!
GZSammy
Don't forget to hit the thanks button that's a lot of writing there!! LOL
@GZSammy Thanks for your reply
i'm gonna try your procedure.
I think flashing amss.bin and dsp1.bin will do the trick.
hi, can please give me any download link for amss.bin and dsp1.bin. im not really sure which version of them , i should flash.
i got the link for 351 file
im just posting them, bcz someone might need them.
http-://-mirror2.streakdroid.com-/manii/351/
remove - symbols
im struck again.
i'm happy that you are trying to help. i followed your procedure, but flashing amss.bin and dsp1.bin changed nothing.
i'm stuck at dell logo again and when i restarted my phone ishows' emergency recovery copy' and it will get restarted.
then it will take me to the emergency recovery tool , but i can i see that recovery version became 347 again.
Any better ideas ?

Bruv,
Once you are done with the flashing of the amss and the dsp1 then the recovery, enter recovery and select the pkg to install... then it will state somethjng about the emergency software recovery press the shutter or the power button (dont remember which one) to start the installation.... happened with me in my earlier days i was sitting at that screen for hours and then i thought that it is screwed so attempted emergency recover... and the phone restarted with no changes... next run i was at the same screen and i discovered that after selecting the pkg we need to press power or i guess shutter button to initiate the installation... i guess u r facing the same issue..
If you are not sure which button to press, then press the opposite button stated for emergency recovery.
Eg. If it says press camera button for emergency software recovery then press power
And if power is written then press camera button.
And it will initiate the installation....
Sent from my Dell Streak while I was away from my Alienware
The only thing that I see missing is that when you finally try to reboot, no matter what you have flashed you need to do a Factory Reset, if not the Streak will not want to boot.
Thats also a good point..

At step 5, i would recommend once it reboots, press and hold the vol+ and vol- button again to go into recovery mode, then select option 1 to do a Factory Reset. Please do a backup just in case.
Another thing to try is, if you are back to StreakMod Recovery, boot into the recovery, do a wipe dalvik cache and wipe cache partition before flashing the stock recovery and rom. Again, please do a backup in case.
thanks for reply

i 've tried doing factory reset after step5, but it didn't help.
Is there anything else. i think i have two solutions.
1)Removing factory recovery (347)completely from the system. it may or may not solve the problem.
2)I need to find stock 347 rom, i think it will work.
I'm searched everywhere, but i couldnt find 347 rom.
is there any thing i can do for this problem.

finding a stock rom 347 is something which I guess you wont be able to do.
second option we already tried...i dont know why it is not working..
What i think is this that you need a Nandroid backup of a stock 351 0r 354 rom and you can restore the same from the streak mod recovery which i guess is already installed on your device...
Search in the forums I remember a guy asking for a nandroid backup files and someone uploaded it on a share....
Just check
If not then i will try to get you a nandroid image which I have but dont know where to upload...

What else you an try is this that try any other retail dell rom probably 318 or any other build and if it flashes correctly and phone is able to boot, then try to install the later ones....my point is to get rid of any customization in the recovery......
I agree with geo.samuel, you have to get rid of custom recovery and make sure you are using the stock DELL recovery image so that you can flash an update.PKG instead of an update.ZIP.
It seems you are knowledgeable enough to get into fastboot, so go to the DELL Streak WIKI at this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fileell_Streak.png
and download the recovery image and PKG of your choice (rename the .PKG file to "update.pkg"), I would suggest 354 or 351.
Flash the recovery image from fastboot (now I have a question, when you are in fastboot, do your commands take or are you just taking for granted that your computer is pushing the command?) I have to ask that, sometimes it won't take. If so, then execute the reboot command from the command terminal also.
As geo and others have said, when you see the DELL logo come up, push both camera buttons to get into recovery mode. Choose option 2 to find the update.PKG file you have placed on the ROOT of your SD card. Now at this point, if it allows you to choose the "update.pkg" file you downloaded. If it's asking for an "update.zip" file, then something in fastboot didn't succeed and you need to check your drivers and start with that process all over again.
Now, once you have gotten it to take the flash of the "update.pkg" file on your SD card it will reboot, now give it a few minutes, even if all was successful, it could take up to 15 minutes for it to get beyond the DELL logo. If it stays stuck there, then do a battery pull at least once more before trying to do a factory reset from the stock recovery.
Why is the OP not using MultiRecovery Flasher to flash his recovery image? He'd have a far easier time using that than manually issuing the fastboot commands. Plus it includes all the recovery images that are on the wiki.

I don't see any mention of MultiRecovery Flasher here. In any event, when you flashed the recovery image did you boot back into StreakDroid, download the ROM, then go back into recovery?
What you should have done, at least according to Radimus' Guide to Flashing the Streak, is to have the update.pkg on the SD Card before flashing the recovery.img. That way, once the image is on the Streak you can simply hold down volume up and volume down while the Streak reboots. From there, you restore the ROM.
Check your drivers. Reinstall the drivers if necessary, and then follow the instructions in the guide.
I'm running into a weird boot loop problem with my Atrix 4g. My phone is unlocked and I recently flashed to the Neutrino 2.5p GT update from 2.5 GT. I would usually do a clean install by doing Moto-fastboot -w, erase system/boot/preinstall and then install from the zip but this time all I did was install from the zip. After installing 2.5p GT from the zip, the phone booted up without any issues.
Now my problem started when I flashed the add ons. I re-downloaded and flashed the following add ons:
Live wallpaper add on
Sync add on
Theme Chooser add on
Deskclock/Default CM7 Alarm add on
GPS Mod (Pulled the US.zip file and flashed it, didn't flash "GPS Mod.zip")
Right Aligned Clock Mod
Lite gapps
After flashing the add ons my phone reboots itself before it can get past the Motorola dual core spash screen. The weird thing is now when ever I try to fastboot into my phone using rom racers tool, it says it's waiting to connect to the phone even though it's connected to my computer. I also tried to get into the android recovery but it keep freezing and rebooting after I select the recovery option.
Knowing this, what is the best way to go about getting my phone out of this boot loop? Would this be a job for NvFlash? (I'm unfamiliar with NvFlash, so this is just a guess)
Try to do a factory reset in recovery.
That should fix it
My problem is getting into recovery mode to do a factory reset. Right now my phone freezes and then restarts the boot loop process whenever I choose the recovery option. Are there any alternative ways of getting into recovery mode besides holding the power button + vol down and scrolling down to the recovery option?
I ran into the same problem the other day. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314607 to reinstall recovery.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Can you get into Fastboot?
Try:
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
That worked for me when I was stuck in a boot loop(going to stock)
Yeah. There was a boot problem on 2.5p. The problem was quickly fixed, but now there is a new 2.6 version that blows all previous away.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
ce12373 is right. The new 2.6 is sweet. You might also try pulling the battery, that seems to help a lot of people.
I would get into fastboot and do a full wipe then reflash from what i have read he suggest in the OP of the rom thread to do a full fastboot wipe
