[Q] Back to Stock Recovery Without a Computer - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if it is possible to return to the stock recovery, or any recovery for that matter without a computer. My linux laptop crapped out on me the other night and now I don't know what to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Phone messed up badly and/or bricked. Need HELP please.

First of all, I am on a MAC and have an 00 baseband Streak and updated it to a 21 baseband and 2.1 Eclair following the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754418
Everything worked fine up until the end where after the final reboot it got stuck on the Dell logo. Ok, no problem I used the instructions in "How to unbrick your streak *worked for me*":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754448
As instructed I substituted the 2.1 Eclair pkg for the stock and it flashed perfectly, no issues and booted into 2.1. At this point everything pretty much worked fine.
... UNTIL I decided to try an root it to get rid of the O2 Splash Screen. Universal Androot did not work for me previously so I went with the NExus One Superboot method which worked in the past. That's where it all went to hell and the Dell boot logo came up and the unit just sat there.
I have tried re-doing it, from all the steps listed, but either get a black screen in the recovery phase (after choosing update for sdcard/update.zip) or the Dell logo on boot. I have also tried AdamG's 'rooted eclair build [6841]' img but it also just comes back with the Dell logo (listed below).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753699
... NOW, the only thing that seems to work is clockworkrecovery using AdamG's updated 2.5.0.1 Dell Streak (original or alt img) (listed below) and the 4399-update-streak-stock-rooted-signed.zip file renamed to update.zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754563
Every time I put an Update.pkg file on my sdcard and try to update using recovery it gives me a black screen in the recovery process. Renaming it to update.zip just gives me an error when I try to update in recovery mode. I just cannot seem to find a stock recovery ROM that will update using a .pkg file (either stock or 2.1) without giving me a black screen.
Any help/ideas/prayers would be greatly appreciated as I'd hate to think that I now have an $800 paper weight.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Why can't you just fastboot flash the stock recovery and boot images?
i can flash the stock recovery but cant find 1.6 stock .img files. Ive tried with my nandroid images from 1.6 and they dont work, just sits at dell screen. If i flash the stock 2.1 it loads but no radio so useless.

It's definitely worth a shot for everyone with this issue to try, although it did not work for me.
FIXED
Thanks to marra2 who provided a link to a 1.6 rev.4399 NANDROID backup image I am now up and running. I used it to get my Streak operational then did the update to 2.1 Eclair and all is well.

[Q] update to 2.2 caused buttons to flash now and then

Hey everyone - I just got a new Rogers Dell Streak. Like a good noob, I followed a guide on how to upgrade the rogers build 7921 and I'm now at Android 2.2, Build 10688. Everything seems to work OK so far, but the home, menu and back buttons flash every 1 minute exactly. Doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing, it's almost as if it's a notification of some kind. They do not flash while the screen is off (sleep).
I followed a few different guides and I think this may be the issue but I thought I'd ask first. the first thing I did was use QDL Repair Tool to upgrade to a dell release of 2.2 (I guess)... the last thing I did was follow the StreakDroid Rom installation instructions using StreakMod Recovery, amss.mbn, and then tried to install Streakdroid 1.6.1, but it wouldn't boot properly, so restored 2.2 using nandroid.
I've done some searches but couldn't really find an answer to the issue I'm having.
If anyone could give me the step required to correctly upgrade the Rogers version of Dell Streak I'd really appreciate it. Ideally I'd like to get to a stable version of 2.2 (DJ_Steve's preferably, but I would be OK to go to the new release from Dell if it would work right).
thanks everyone!
-Steve
Never mind everyone. I figured it out. I reverted back to a stock Rom and recovery and started all over. I'm now using cw recovery and Dj_steves 1.8.1 Rom.
Everything seems to be working great!
Cheers!

Not sure what to do

Hey guys and gals, i bought a whitr dell streak used off somebody and it has streakdroid on it. I want to go back to the att rom, but since i didnt upgrade it to streakdroid, i'm not sure what he used or did to get it that way. What is the safest way to get back to the stock att rom?
my phone says.
android version 2.2
baseband GAUSB1A131800-us
kernel 2.6.32.9-dj_steve-BFS-CFQ-KGSL2D-Vol-OC
oem version Froyo V1.6.0 by DJ_Steve
Just not sure where i should go to get back to stock.
thanks
Get the version of the ROM you want and put it on your SD card. do some searching and you will find a link where someone has them.
Next flash the recovery for the same version of the ROM. There is a tool called multirecovery or something like that. Use the tool to do the flashing. Again there is a thread with instructions.
once you have flashed the recovery then boot inot the recovery and install the ROM. To do this power up and hold down the volume buttons just when the Streak sgarts to boot up. Once in recovery, make the selection to update.

Radimus' Virtually Universal Guide to Flashing ROMs
That should give you a good head start. From the ROM link, I'd download either the 345 or 351 ROM, because that way you don't have any AT&T restrictions such as sideloading and tethering.
Thank you guys. I will give it a shot.

[Q] How do I remove StreakMod? I have BB 347.

Hi guys, so my Streak's camera stopped working and I have StreakDroid 1.9.1 installed and StreakMod. I called customer service and they said I could exchange it. Does anyone know how to get the stock recovery back on the Streak? I was going to restore a Nandroid backup for Stock Froyo 2.2 for 347 and remove StreakMod.
I read the "What you need to know about the Dell Streak" guide that was made, but the link to the Stock Recovery isn't working.
I also looked at the MultiRecoveryFlasher, but I don't see a version for 347, only 345 and 351.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
347 was never available in PKG form since it came preinstalled on some Streaks (like mine). There is no recovery image nor a PKG file for 347, so place 351 on your Streak and call it a day. Dell isn't going to care that you upgraded the ROM from 347 to 351. When it comes to exchanging the Streak all they are going to care about is that there is an official Dell ROM on the device.
Ah I see. Thanks for the reply. Also, I've never used MultiRecoveryFlasher, do I need to flash the baseband first, and then the recovery?
Nope. Just flash the recovery. Installing 351 will take care of the rest.
In order to keep streakmod on a stock rom you had to rename or delete install-recovery.sh. If you restore it the stock recovery should reinstall on the next reboot.
