I've read many threads on how to change roms on the Streak.
I've actually managed to install several versions of Stephens ROMs.
I am however still confused on how to get back to a stock Froyo ROM. Why is it a two step process?
What is the relationship between fastboot and streakmod? I think this is the key. Once I understand this, then I will understand why I can't simply use streakmod to get back to stock.
Also, when you install a ROM shouldn't it completely erase everthing there and replace it? I don't understand why I get different results when I apply the same ROM depending on what ROM was applied before. This suggest that there is a preferred sequence when it comes to applying Stephen's latest ROMS.
Last question, how come doing a factory reset doesn't put me back in the state the device came in?

You need a stock recovery to install an update.pkg file (stock roms) and streakdroid recovery (or clockwork, but I suggest streakdroid) to install an update.zip. So you have to flash the stock recovery then install the stock ROM.

The reset restores that last installed ROM. This prevents updates being wiped out by a reset. It's intended to wipe the slate clean for the currently installed ROM.
Okay thanks. starting to make more sense.
I was able to download streak_318_12821_00.pkg file from Dell. I believe this is the Froyo 2.2 stock file from Dell for US versions.
so now i can use fastboot.exe to install this pkg file?

You don't use fastboot.exe to install ROMs.
If you are on a streakdroid rom you use fastboot to flash a stock recovery. This one should work.
You then rename the rom file to update.pkg, put it in the root of your sd card and boot into stock recovery. Select option2 and the stock rom should install. You will have to set up your phone after this (apps, accounts, etc.) so use your favorite backup solution first.
Okay maybe it's beginning to dawn on me.
So customs ROMS can only be installed via a custom ROM loader like streakmod. So once you update yourself to use streakmod, you can no longer install .pkg files which are the stock ROMS.
So now I have to flash the stock ROM installer back to the device to install the stock ROM which is a pkg file. Once it's installed, it replaces streakmod.
So once I'm back at the stock ROM installer and install the pkg file, I will have to reinstall streakmod to update to a Stephen ROM.
Do I have this correct?
Correct

Thanks a million. You helped me understand what a thousand posts across various websites and forums could not.
Not in retrospect it seems absurdly simple.
I've just managed to go back to stock and back to 1.81.
It finally all makes sense now.

I've flashed everything properly and I'm able to boot into streakmod immediately after flashing. However, upon rebooting the phone, going into recovery mode will not take me to streakmod. It will only take me to the stock Dell recovery page (where I can restore or press volume to power down).
Why does this only work immediately after flashboot and not afterwards?
Thanks in advance.
This is on 354 btw.

When you reboot the phone it's supposed to take you to the stock DELL recovery. You choose the option to install update.pkg and then when you see the DELL logo with a yellow exclamation point you press the power button again and it will take you to Streakmod.
Now, if you are using a stock ROM, then you have to use a file manager that gives you root access (such as Root Explorer) to your internal SD card and rename a file called "install-recovery.sh", located in \system\etc (can't remember exactly where it is) and rename it to install-recovery.sh.bak. Then flash Clockworkmod or Streakmod again and you should be good to go

Yeah, it works fine after rebooting through flashboot, but after that the streakmod page will not load up...it will simply take me back to the stock DELL recovery.
I'll try this fix though...thanks!
Stock roms overwrite the recovery after every boot. That's why is works once after flashing. You'll have to run a custom rom to maintain a coustom recovery. Sorry :-(

You do not have to run a custom rom to use a custom recovery. You do have to root your phone so that you can rename the file install-recovery.sh located in the folder /system/etc/ so that it does not run every time you boot your phone. I use stock 351 and the recovery-v0.3.2.7-DoctorWFix.zip version of StrekMod Recovery so I can make nandroid backups.The latest version of MultiRecovery Flasher will install this version.

Please read through this very thread... (not that there aren't hundreds more with the same info) and you will find a link to probably the one of the top guides out there for flashing the Streak...
Hey everyone,
First of all, i apologize if any of what i'm asking here is stuff that has been covered before. I have been searching myself for answers for the last several days and have found plenty of good info, but i am new to android and i think i need to ask some question to help get a base level understanding of what i need to do. I am a bit nervous about bricking my phone so i maybe haven't been as adventurous trying to get everything running as god intended.
Firstly, i have used and understand Odin, using it to flash roms and such. I have rooted the phone and installed ROM Manager and clockworkmod 4.0.1.5 on the phone, but when i boot into recovery mode, it is still on the android recovery 3e and i cannot do the update.zip, I get signature verification failed. Now i KNOW this is cause of the android recovery 3e, and i have found this issue has been encountered plenty before, but my confusion is in some of the solutions i have found. Mainly the terminology and how the steps directly apply to the phone. For example, I found on another forum thread :
1- Copy the Zimage from your rooted kernel and paste it to SD card of your phone.
2- Flash the Stock kernel via Odin to get rid of Yellow triangle.
3- Flash the Zip file (Zimage) via CWM which you've already pasted in Step 1.
i don't really understand what the zimage is. Why do i need it, what IS it frankly? Where do i get it or a stock kernel for my phone. Does versioning matter much? i read that for the most part the kernels are almost identical to each other, and the fact all i really need is for the android recovery mode to be 2e or whatever it is (so it will not do the signature check on the update.zip file), that i don't really need to pay much attention to the actual kernel version.
What i really need i guess is for someone to break it down for me and either explain the steps or give me a detailed step by step on how to get clockworkmod recovery working so i can proceed with the cyanogen mod running on phone (not enjoying touchwiz at all).
Again, sorry if i am giving anyone spasms at my noobish-ness, but i have been searching for my answers for a day or two now and i haven't been able to find anything that really tells me what i need to know.
Phone : GT-I9100M
Android : 2.3.3
Kernal : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL
Build : GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
Thanks

That means you have not installed it flash CWM and \Root from here .
Root + CWM .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Beware of following instructions from a separate rom to the one you are flashing .
1- Copy the Zimage from your rooted kernel and paste it to SD card of your phone.
2- Flash the Stock kernel via Odin to get rid of Yellow triangle.
3- Flash the Zip file (Zimage) via CWM which you've already pasted in Step 1.
i don't really understand what the zimage is.
ZImage is the kernel .
Why do i need it, what IS it frankly? Where do i get it or a stock kernel for my phone.

You are confusing yourself .
Flash correct CWM from above link .
Choose the custom rom and follow the instructions posted for that rom .
CyanogenMod as the man says
Warning : Not for new users, flash this build only if you know what you are doing !!!

Thanks for the reply. I have been doing more reading and i think i am understanding the rooting process a bit better.
I looked at the link you posted (thanks for that, i saw the forum post for the i9000 but i never could find the i9100 post for some reason) and i DO have another question after reading through a good chunk of the posts on it.
There is no CF Root for my kernel, but the reply that was made to someone else with my kernel version was :
"Flash the Stock 2.3.4 ROM (XXKG5, XXKG6 or XXKG7) and root with CF-Root-XXKG6."
I understand that process and how it works but i thought you were only supposed to flash roms based on your firmware version? My KDD kernel version is running on 2.3.3
Will this cause any issues if i flash the stock 2.3.4 ROM?
Download cm7 zip for the newest nightly.
Copy it to internal sd card.
Flash any cf root kernel
Boot into recovery
Wipe data and cache, you will lose all your data on your phone, so backup sms (I recommend sms backup +), also you will lose App data so you might want to back that up first using something like titanium backup.
Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
Chose install zip from sd card
Select the cm7 zip
Reboot
If you get stuck at the boot screen go back into recovery and flash the zip again

Thanks Veyka.
I think i'm ok with the CM7 install process. I am probably going to wait until i really feel like i understand the whole process from front to back before i start messing with that though.
I can't get to that point yet however since i haven't been able to get CWM recovery working yet. I have the Android Recovery 3e, which will not install from zip files that aren't digitally signed.
So i'm trying to get CF Root installed and working, however, as mentioned in my previous post there is no CF Root for my kernel. I would like it clarified if it is ok for me to flash to a 2.3.4 stock ROM (i'm running 2.3.3) and then use a CF root for a the new ROM.
I was under the impression that this was not a good idea.
If i should not be doing this, is there a recommended way to upgrade my firmware to 2.3.4 so i can use a newer CF Root?
Thanks
Pick a new stock rom, I would go for kg6, flash it via odin.
Then flash the kg6 CF root kernel via odin and you will have cwm recovery.
Don't put the pit into odin and don't tick repartition or update bootloader.
There is a good thread with all the info you need on flashing stock roms with odin and a list of all avaliable roms.

Hi,
I have rooted my phone using the quick root guide found here and therefore I have my stock kernel back w/ root. Do I need to install a cf root kernel?
Also, when the new ROM gets flashed how does one recover the apps and data lost?

Use Titanium Backup PRO for your app. You can backup all of them then restore on any rom.
Is there anything that Titanium Backup doesn't back up for which I need to use another application?

no thats old school...most roms here are prerooted now. u can simply odin powerwashed eh09 gingerbread and be rooted, debloated, and ready to roll. then go back to odin and flash cwm 2.5.x, so you can do nandroid backups and flash other roms like tsm 1.0. If you want aosp mtd roms such as miui,cm7, tsm pool party, all you need to do is odin cwm4 fixed for cm7, three finger boot into recovery, wipe data,cache,dalvik, and install mtd zip. Once it boots never use three finger recovery again. you can access recovery by long pressing the power button. pre rooting is a thing of the past and is only needed if your looking to stay on a stock rom to debloat, and use root apps such as wireless tether, root explorer, tibu, etc...

nope, rom manager only works "ok" with mtd based roms...I highly suggest you use a computer and familiarize yourself with odin or heimdall. I don't think there is a root method out there that will work without a pc for the fascinate.
so then i NEED to be rooted, to flash cwm?
this is what im thinking
connect to pc, and use 1 click root, to root my 2.1 stock phone
dl rom manager from the market, and flash the cwm
install my customrom.zip (com rom)
all done?

You can't relock it yet but you should just need the stock tmobile rom, no recovery, and no root to get OTAs.

download this. Its the closest to a stock nandroid that i found. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40745177&postcount=55 This is a nandroid back up, not a flashable zip.
I Used clockwork mod recovery. I dont know if its the same for twrp. So to be safe i would install CWM.
After you download it you have to open it up on your computer and put the "unzipped" file 2013-04-26.06.21.44 Clockworkmod/backup folder on your phone. Reboot into cwm and find restore, and install this file.
If you need to remove root for any reason, you will have to flash flash a custom kernel (should be easy to find, i just searched for kernel under the t mo htc one development thread) Then download a file explorer and grant it root access. Delete the Superuser APK and reboot. After that flash the stock kernel, and you should be all set. I think this is about the best we can do to get back to stock on tmobile with out a RUU. I hope I helped you out. :good:
After you successfully install this you will need to flash the stock recovery.img. After that reboot and install the OTA update. If it fails you may need to re-lock the bootloader.
Oh and If you havent already, i would download the HTC one all in one kit (search for it in the forum) it makes doing alot of this much much easier.
You're going to need stock recovery to get ota updates to install.

I'm also trying to revert to stock. After unzipping this file, which parts do I need to move to my phone? Is it the entire 2013-04-26.06.21.44 folder, or only the .tar file located within?

You will put the whole 2013-04-26.06.21.44 on it. There should be a folder in the cwm folder that says backup. if not install cwm rom manager from the market and it should create it for you.

Yes, it's the sch-i500.
I'm not using the phone right now, but I've been flashing back to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526488 Eclair. I can't restore from the nandroid backup I made, it fails as well.
I haven't tried flashing Superuser.
Recoveries I've tried are TWRP and 3 CWMs I've found. I just have these in a folder with their default names: cwm_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN.tar, cwm-bml-i500.tar, cwm-recovery-ALL.tar.
I've tried flashing several ROMs, and I've deleted most of them. Right now I'm trying the 7.20 version and CM10 6/18 build from here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=fascinatemtd, this 5/31 build of AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185502, and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385624.
No, I haven't been following that guide. I've been using Odin to restore back to Eclair, then I flash a recovery, then the ROM. I'll try following that guide when I have time; I've already wasted 6 hours on this.
The guide will give you some missing and critical steps for a generally flawless process to bring you up to a 4.2.x ROM...
Look at section 4
Like making sure to use. pit
'cwm fixed for cm7' is the one to use from stock eclair
Don't forget the gb bootloader file
The biggest thing the guide didn't mention is when in 'cwm fixed for cm7' flashing your news ROM you'll need to flash that ROM 3 times,,, you don't need to wipe everything during those just flash 3 times,,,,
1st time flash, then you do a reboot,,, it will take you into a new updated cwm recovery,,, from there flash ROM again,,, you'll get a warning about partitions with a status error,,, it's normal,,,, go directly back and choose to flash ROM again,,, flash will work and complete process,,, now just flash any needed Google gapps zip file then reboot into your new ROM...

It looks like the problem was that I didn't flash the gingerbread bootloader after I flashed CWM. Isn't the bootloader a part of the Gingerbread restore image I'm using in the guide though? And why don't ROM makers put that in their ROMs if it's required for the ROMs to work?
Anyway, it's working now. Thanks!
