my dell streak was deliverd this morning, already rooted it now im concidering a custom rom(streak droid 1.8) but i have a couple questions
what is the best rom manager to use as i have searched the fourums and cant seam to find a definitive answer
does streak droid come with the android market app
There is no rom manager that works properly on the Streak.
Streakdroid does include the android market.
You can use this guide to install Streakdroid 1.8.0 on your phone.See the section on latest Streakdroid ROM. Ignore the section about flashing amss.mbn if you are already on Android 2.2
1.8.0 release thread
I recommend that after flashing streakmod recovery to your phone that you do a nandroid backup of your current system. That way you can always restore it. Do this before making any other changes to your phone.
Note: a full reboot will overwrite streakmod recovery with the stock recovery. So when you first install streakmod recovery as you reboot hold both volume buttons down to go to recovery, don;t let the phone fully boot. Do your nandroid backup and then install the 1.8.0 ROM. I also recommend wiping the cache partition and dalvik cache before installing the new ROM.
thanyou for your help now running streak droid 1.8

going to install clockwork recovery by mik presently in stock froyo 2.2 rooted with z4root,thunderg 1.2 installed
can anyone help how to procede installing clockwork and what are the things to do before flashing cm7 by mik. I mean what are the options to wipe and stuff as updating from froyo and clockwork user pls help
It is pretty intuitive if you know what I mean.
1. The first step is to flash the zip (signed-recovery.zip) from the Clockworkmod thread like anything else (custom ROM, fontpack, tweaks, etc.).
2. After flashing turn off the phone and turn it one to enter the custom recovery (Power Btn+Vol But. Down+Home But)
3. You're in Clockworkmod now. Everything must be familiar in some way just the order being somewhat different plus a few additions and some features missing.
4. First you may want to backup (backup and restore option). I would recommend to copy everything afterwards from the SDCard to the PC and reformat it (the SDCard ofcourse ).
5. Go to wipe data/factory reset-->wipe cache partition-->mounts and storage-->format /boot-->format /data-->format /sd-ext (only if you had used it before and it's present)-->format /system
6. Now you can install Mik's CM7 build (install zip from sdcard-->choose zip from sdcard)

Guys,
We all know you have to pay to play.....
Used rom manager to restore my 2.1 backup I made before I flashed to bionix 1.3.1.
Just wanted to learn how to do the restore should I run into issues.
Everything went fine, I say it copying the files, etc etc. Didn't see any errors, phone rebooted on it's on but never came on fully.
Phone has been stuck on "VIBRANT" logo on the screen for quite a while.
What's the steps to get my phone working again?
I hope it's not a big UGH.
EDIT: I just restarted phone and with the two volume buttons depressed and after vibrant flash I hit the home button and somehow got into clockwork recovery mode. trying to restore the bionix 1.3.1, will report back shortly
EDIT: restore worked with bionix and is back up and running.
Why did the bionix restore work but not my back up for 2.1????? Is this because the original restore was performed from rom manager and second restore was performed from clockwork recovery mode?????
Did I luckily avoid a brick situation?
Doesn't back up your kernel. So you restored a 2.1 rom running a 2.2 kernel =bootloop
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
odin or reflash bionix if its still on your sd card then put a 2.1 kernel on then flash that then restore ??
So as per my OP I restored bionix and all worked fine.
What was the point of backup up my 2.1 version if I can't restore back to it since the kernels are different???
If I want to restore my 2.1 version, via clockwork recovery, what's the process. Is there a way to delete the kernel or wipe it first if I need to go back to 2.1?
I know the odin way, but the clockwork recovery console is so easy and convenient?
download any 2.1 kernel and put it on your internal sd . After you have your kernel just restore your nandroid and before rebooting flash the 2.1 kernel .
I'm new to the whole kernel thing to be honest. By putting it on the internal SD card, what does that accomplish, I'm sure it has to get installed somehow, no?
Another quick question, why do some roms require to clear davlik and cache and some don't?
Is it something that can be done regardless if a rom directions say to do it?
Just getting more noob stuff out of the way.
sometimes they include that in the rom so u dont have to but as a rule always wipe dalvik and cache and data.
Excellent, thank you

Like I said flash the 2.1 kernel. You could download a flashable zip. Place it on your sd then after restoring your nandroid backup flash the kernel by selecting "install zip from sd" in recovery.

I am using the latest Unnamed 1.1.0 ROM and when I use the shutdown feature, the phone will shutdown, but then reboot immediately. For my install I wiped both data cache and delvik cache before installing, however, I didn't flash from a stock 2.3.4 ROM. Since the directions did not say that was needed, is that not the case, or is this a known bug with unnamed 1.1.0?

If you did not flash from stock 2.3.4 rom and you did not flash from the
previous version of the UnNamed rom that means that you forgot to do a
"Wipe data/Factory Reset" in the clockworkmod recovery before flashing
the UnNamed rom.
Your best bet is to reflash the UnNamed rom but this time when you are in
the clockworkmod menu (CWM recovery) select the "Wipe Data/FActory Reset"
before you flash the rom. (you may want to do a titanium backup of your apps first)
Good Luck!
Also, if you install a theme from a different ROM, the shutdown menu may become rearranged or even nonfunctional.
Thanks Misterjunky, I'll give that a try. Coming from the Samsung Captivate I find the new ROM process a little frustrating. I have been using ODIN to flash the Clockwork (CW) Recovery kernel, then install ROMs via the CW menu. Two questions:
-Is the Wipe Data/Factory reset right there next to the devlik/cache clear on the first CW screen or hidden in advanced?
-Is there an easier way to flash ROMs other than pushing the CW kernel via ODIN?

The "Wipe data/factory reset" is in the default screen which you see first.
Also you only need to flash the odin3 kernel once, not everytime you flash a custom rom.
(SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.TAR - kernel).
The reason is, that if coming from STOCK Gingerbread 2.3.4 rom we cannot flash any custom
roms without first flashing the odin flash kernel because the stock rom does not have a CWM
Recovery compatible kernel.
The other kernels you see here in XDA for our phones are CWM flash zipfiles which we can flash
since after flashing the custom odin3 kernel we now have a kernel that has CWM Recovery
built-in which is required for flashing any compatible custom roms, kernels, themes and other
modifications. (Which are all zipfiles ) - I hope this explains it.
Thanks for the info Misterjunky, that helped. Unnamed isn't rebooting on power any more either. Reinstalled, no issues, must've forgotten to clear both options prior to install.
I rooted my device using Gingerbreak.
I have 2.2.2 installed out of the box. I installed CWM. I installed busybox.
Busybox failed. I tried all the versions that it contains.
I checked root status, and RootCheckBasic says I'm rooted.
I installed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It will not reboot to CWM.
It only reboots to the standard Android recovery.
I'm trying to install Bumblebee ROM 2.4.
Here are some things I am having issues understanding with it...
Backup current apps and their data with Titanium Backup (available in the Market). Is this required? The phone is new. I have nothing to back up.
Do a nandroid backup in recovery before doing anything else below.
And the nandroid backup is done with CWM? Again CWM won't reboot, only the standard Android recovery boots.
Required if installing BB 2.x for the first time: Wipe. Wipe it all. Data, cache, system, dalvik-cache, sd-ext if you've got it (might need to look under Advanced or Mounts in recovery to do the last two, and while you're there format /system). I assume you wipe it all with CWM while in recovery?
If upgrading from BB 2.3, wipe cache (and only cache) in recovery.
Does not apply to me
If not upgrading from 2.3, install Wiper zip (see below), just to be extra sure that all is wiped. Don't reboot yet. Installing wiper.zip is done by sideloading using adb commands?
Install ROM zip (see below).
I assume this too is done by copying the zip to the external SD, then selecting update from SD card in recovery... right?
Please someone shed some light on this for me.
In standard Android recovery it says e3. I know on my Captivate I had to use Odin to install GB loaders to get it to work.
THANKS!
Flashwork mod recovery? Never heard of it.
Try downloading rom manager from the market and use that.
Everything else should be simple

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

Oh, okay, um... are you using the reboot into recovery option in rom manager right after flashing?
After flashing what?
I reboot into recovery through rom manager and get:
Android system recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
_________________________________________________________
Android System recovery...
Do not pull out the battery!!
After hitting flash clockworkmod recovery, immediately hit reboot recovery
After hitting anything in CWM it did nothing more than reboot into the standard android recovery.
This phone has 2.2.2 on it. Problem? Probably.
I followed instructions at androidcentral and got it to work.
Needed Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM
Installed BACKside-IHO-VM670-11222011
using Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM_Recovery-signed
Had a little problem today and needed to activate the phone. BUUUUT......
the rom didn't allow activation.
So I installed Bumblebee. No go.
Then I tried [rom] basic stock rom.
Neither of these will let my phone boot. It gets stuck at boot.
Nothing happens.
I can still boot into Xiona_CWMA. But no roms will work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ok, so I CAN load different recoveries.
They work, or at least seem to.
I can flash roms, but nothing happens (bootloop) or the phone comes on and works with a black screen.
I can call my number and can hear the call, but can't see anything.
Bullet if u found solution pls tell me too

I believe that may be due to the newer display in your phone (I'm new to this device so I dont know much yet). From the little bit of information I've gathered, devices manufactured recently have a different display that requires a kernel that supports it. In the iho roms this is included, on others you'll need to flash a kernel right after the rom.
For the stock rom I can upload what I use if you need it. Its basically the one posted here just with the boot.img swapped with one from a nandroid backup I made before switching roms
I think you're spot on with that idea.
I loaded CM7 variant, and it worked.
My question is, how do I get another ROM on it if it has the newer screen?
I loaded different kernels that were supposed to fix it, but no go.
Anyone having problems installing CM7 beta. i had the alpha version on my phone and trying to update it to beta but when i use BSR it just sits on the motorola screen and does not go into to recovery mode, any one know how to fix this ?

You need to download the patched BSR (a link is provided in the CM7 forum post) and install that within CM7 first. Boot into that version to flash CM7. That's how I did it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21342515&postcount=1
thats where i got BSR from, what do you mean "install that within CM7 first"
i rooted the phone using zergrush method and install BSR but when i try to get into recovery mode just sits on the same screen

You stated you already had CM7 alpha, so I was assuming you wanted to flash over the Alpha rather than SBFing back to 2.3.4.
What I did when I found that CM7 beta was released was the following:
Downloaded CM7 zip, CM7 apps zip and patched BSR apk for CM7.
Pushed the three files from step 1 onto my external SD card.
Within CM7 alpha, I navigated to where I pushed the CM7 files and ran the patched BSR apk and installed it.
Ran BSR Recovery and clicked on Install button within BSR.
Within BSR, clicked on the Recovery button and rebooted into recovery.
Factory reset/data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
Flashed CM7 zip
Flashed google apps zip
Rebooted
Navigated to patched BSR and reinstalled it.
Updated apps.
when i tried to update it to beta i went into BSR and sent it into a bootloop so i unrooted it and rooted it again i just cant get the rom going cuz of BSR

First, ensure your phone is NOT plugged into the wall at all.
Pull your battery and reinsert it.
Without plugging your phone into the wall, turn it back on and see if it will boot back into the Alpha CM7. Do NOT try and go into recovery (stock nor BSR). If you can get to this point, try this:
Install the non-CM7 BSR.
Install the CM7 patched BSR
Run BSR and install it and reboot into recovery. Hopefully, you can get to the next step.
Factory reset/data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
Flash CM7 beta and CM7 google aps
Reboot
If you're still bootlooping, then you may have done something else so your only recourse is to now SBF back to 2.3.4.
Read over the directions in the CM7 beta post and understand what they mean before you go and flash. It is a little different from other ROMs. It took me a couple of times to get it to work because I did something wrong. The first time, I used just the patched CM7 BSR after SBFing back to 2.3.4. Well, from what I understand, it won't work if you aren't already running CM7. Likewise, the original BSR will not run if you already have CM7, so you have to use the patched version.
If all else fails and you must SBF, then this is what you need to do:
SBF back to 2.3.4
Use Zergrush root to root your phone
Get the ORIGINAL (non-CM7 patched) BSR and install it and reboot into it.
Factory reset/data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
Flash the CM7 Beta zip file
Flash the CM7 google apps file
Reboot into CM7 beta
Install the CM7-patched BSR apk. Do NOT use the older BSR apk.
I got it to work i had to use the old version of BSR to get it to work thank for your help
