Any one has the original update.pkg for the venue? I screwed up my venue and it is not booting rift now.
Any help will be appreciated. I tried the streak rom, did not work.
I tried to get the emergency update.pkg file
I tried
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GTOUB1A101111
The Dell Venue build numbers that i found:
GTOUB1A101111
GTOUB1A130211
GTOUB1A101200
no luck,
Can some one help me getting the update.pkg file?
You can use fastboot to restore the system. I just found how to enter the real fastboot mode.

It would be easier to diagnose if you would be more specific.
Please copy-paste the command you gave and response you got.

smokku's right, does it say 'fastboot' on the streak screen?
Is the device in fast boot mode?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
phone is in fastboot mode and says as much on the phone screen. what i am currently trying to do is flash back to 1.6 and the guide i was following said flash stock dell recovery. i downloaded the stock recovery file and in cmd i typed
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i was in the correct directory and the recovery.img file was there
the cmd then says sending recovery.img... and sits there. it doesnt fail it just does nothing. ive tried flashing several different recoveries including the clockworkmod recovery and i still get nothing but sending...

still getting no response from fastboot. i had this problem before and i just kept unlplugging the usb and reinstalling drivers. but its not working for me this time
Right the way to do it is download the recovery image from the last link download the stock recovery from here
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...1-6-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/
open them both up
in the r1-4399-streak-recovery delete the RECOVERY and copy over the recovery from the other file and rename it recovery
put device in fastmode and start the windows batch and the recovery will install
If i ever need to install a stock recovery just install it into the r1-4399-streak-recovery rename it recovery and it will install every time

i'll give it a try. thanks
well i finally was able to flash recovery, boot, and system after a reboot of my pc and phone and reinstaling drivers before each flash. now im stuck at the dell logo. ugh...
update: was able to flash to stock 02 1.6 rom. via the link lufc provided (thank you) i guess i'll have to retry flashing back to stock att 1.6 after a few more people have tweaked it and make an update.pkg for it.

Yeah i got stuck at the dell log a couple times before it successfully flashed. I think something is up with fastboot not properly writing the files because i'll flash the clockworkmod recovery 3 or 4 times in a row with no result. give up on it and flash stock recovery then when i go into recovery mode, its the clockworkmod one :/

i just think my PC and fastboot dont agree with eachother. before i can flash anything i have to uninstall the drivers, restart my pc, reboot phone into fastboot again, reinstall drivers, and then flash what im trying to flash one at a time, then restart the whole process to get any results on what i try to flash next. I have no idea whats up with the recoveries because i ran into the same issue of flashing clockworkmod and having it work fine till next reboot and its back to stock.

I am needing install a new rom to my SD card...but can't simply move the file over to my phone at the moment (er, I only have fastboot right now). Can I move a file over using fastboot and then use clockworkmod to flash it?
Lemme Rephrase
OK...lemme rephrase this question so you guys can tell what I am up to:
Is there a way to use Fastboot to install Streakdroid 1.5.3 on my Streak? I have 1.6.1.zip file on my streak right now, but when I attempted to flash the rom, all I get it the Energy Star Bios Screen....I am trying to revert back to 1.5.3 so that I can use the phone. Please advise...as right now I have a brick. I am stuck in the Energy Bios screen and this phone isn't wanting to let go.
When I try to enter "fastboot -i 0x413c update update-1.5.3-nobb.zip", I get the following error message:
archive does not contain "android-info.txt"
archive does not contain "android-product.txt"
If you can get into fastboot can't you use the QDLtool to install a working ROM?

have you try to install the zip file using recovery?
I did the same mistake,try to install via fastboot but it didn't worked.
But then I try it via recovery and install the zip file.
Update To My Issue
Schiz - While I get to the recovery screen, the only ROM I have is 1.6.1, and that seems to be failing
Marvin - I am looking into QDTool now...do you have a link that you would recommend?

Visit streakdroid.com. Read the guides and get what you need from the DL section. I've never had to use the QDLTool.
If you can get into Recovery you can mount your SD card to your computer via USB. Then transfer the file over that way and install ZIP from SD. Your Fastboot update method is incorrect.
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
'
I just verified with StreakMod recovery that you can in fact "mount sd card via PC" under the advanced menu.
So, if you are able to fastboot, flash StreakMod recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot with: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Hold down the keys "volume up" and "volume down" simultaneously while rebooting.
Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu
At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu

hello
after read this tutorial it doesn't work.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Dell_Streak:_Full_Update_Guide
( Rooting the Dell Streak )
I installed custom recovery-v0.3.2.7-DoctorWFix.zip
and fastboot work.
I readed many tutorial but i can't unbrick it, please help me.
Lele
First thing think that post was very old, CM never worked right on Streak 5, so if you get your Streak up and running never load it again. As for fixes, PM DJ_Steve and ask him to either upload his qdl tool or permission for one of XDA members to upload it. I have it, but without his permission will not upload it.
> recovery-v0.3.2.7-DoctorWFix
it's work, but i can't read pkg......
My problem is all tutorial use Pkg e phone can't read it
I would like restore it, it's possible? how?
bye
Lele
you cant install pkgs with streakmod, only a stock recovery can install those
if fastboot is working
use fastboot or recovery flasher, and push the stock recovery to your phone, then you should be able to install the .pkg
or just put streakdroid on your sd card and install it using the recovery you already have installed
That's right , StreakMod or ClockWork cannot flash stock rom . Only Stock Recovery can flash Stock rom a.k.a Update.pkg.
Go to fastboot and then flash stock recovery that you want (depend stock rom you have to flash). Her is the L I N K that you can download stock rom and recovery image.
And for root , use this L I N K.
Maybe ... this can help your problem
Ok, guys tonight I will try thanks for all
Bye lele
Now it work,
Download this zip file which contains a recovery for downgrading here.
Move the recovery.img file to wherever your fastboot.exe is.
Put your Streak into fastboot mode ( camera + power ).
Open up command line type: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.stock.new.img
Once it says it's done writing type: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot in command line.
Download Official 1.6 (6267 Build) from http://www.mediafire.com/?nib62786hjj93x4.
Rename the file to Update.pkg and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
Dowload this file and put it on the root of your SD Card.
Download this file and unzip it to your SD Card
Root it's ok but can i know if I really allowed root?
Question:
How can I have stock rom and recovery image both? or must I choose one of them?
bye
Lele
lele, that is good news, remember stay away from cyanogenmod, it is not ready for use on the Streak. If you want custom ROM go with 1.9.0 with either 351 or 353 BaseBand. Or you can wait till 2.0.0 is bit more stable and go with it.
Ok i will try it in this days.
About my question?
(How can I have stock rom and recovery image both? or must I choose them
)
Thanks
Assuming you can fastboot again, very simple use MultiRecoveryFlasher at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000455.
If you have can't get to work, like me one of the very few that it just doesn't work. You can go to TheManii's web page, http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/. Download recovery img for version you want and dowload that version for example go here, http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/354/, download recovery.img. Than go parent page and download Streak_354_15881_11.pkg.
Once you have the pkg, rename Update.pkg and move to root of SD card. Reboot into fastboot mode, flash recovery.img. Once complete reboot while holding volume up and volume down buttons. That will take you to Dell update menu. At that point just push the camera button and let it go, will be in 354 when you start up.
Will be in Chinesse if I remember right, no big deal, just click on box on lower right of the screen and select your language. Or you can go with 351, 353 or what ever version TheManii has on that page that has a recovery img.
I've already read a billion posts here and on other web pages but of no use.
I ws running android froyo on my dell streak which I later upgraded to a custom ROM (gingerstreak) with base 2.3.3
Now I ws trying to change from the custom ROM to the official gingerbread ROM by ohlle. I used fastboot mode to do so. The entire process went fine however when my device booted after the update.pkg was installed, it got stuck at the dell logo.
It does not go into fastboot or recovery mode. QDL tools don't detect my device. It doesn't even switches off from the dell logo screen. I have to pull out the battery to reboot it only to get stuck at the dell logo screen again.
Please help me
Did you try to do a system restore?

I think you need StreakMod Recovery to flash .zip files. Stock recovery to flash .pkg files.

yes streakmod recovery is definitly needed, but still you'll get same problem if you try to install update.pkg, but if you flash update.zip it'll surely work... telling this as per my experience with same type of problem....
most important I think.... we cannot flash .pkg file using streakmod recovery if i am not wrong ?
i am sure OP means he CANNOT access recovery/fastboot with the usual buttons combination and just stuck at DELL logo.

When you say "I used fastboot mode to do so" did you perhaps type in "fastboot -w" or "fastboot -erase" at some point? If you didn't then something became corrupted within the Streak. In any case, try to recall exactly what you did and post it.
The symptoms you describe point to one of two things that I can think of:
1. The Streak is bricked and will require someone with a JTAG device to resurrect.
2. The internal MicroSD has become unreadable and needs to be replaced.
I bricket my venue 8 trying to go back to 4.2.2 now it doesnt boot and i get a error trying to flash cwm recovery or something (Failed: flash_cmds)

If you have 3g model then download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464838 If wifi then : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464833
Download and extract these files you ahould find recovery.img,boot.img and file ending with system.img.gz.
now install adb and fastboot if you have nit and move the above files to the directory of adb and fastboot.
now connect your device and got to bootloader and type this codes:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system (now type the entire name of the file which ends with system.img.gz. "dont extract it")
If you do so much you should be good
Thank me if i have helped
