I was gazing at #dellstreak on twitter the other day I came across the following post

Somebody give me SIMPLE instructions to upgrade to 1.5.0 Steve froyo from o2 2.1on #mystreak

I remember when I upgraded my Dell Streak that the instructions weren't 100% user friendly so I thought I'd give him a hand.
What actually came out of it was the following tutorial.
I will end up going through and properly acknowledging authors (I've done a blanket one currently)
Hope fully this tutorial might help other people and simplify the process quite a bit for them.

Without them we would all have very boring Dell Streaks still on the archaic Android 1.6 or the excuse of an update 2.1

Upgrade from o2 2.1 to StreakDroid FroYo v1.5.3
I have tried to make things simple as possible, however you will need to assess if YOU are comfortable running these commands, if not please don't bother.
Whilst I have black screened and froze my device may times and that it "looks" bricked / dead, a restore to the original baseband/rom/recovery image has always solve it for me, but I'm not saying it will for you!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**************************************
What your doing.
**************************************
I will try explain the best I can what it actually is that you will be doing.
You will be updating the recovery image to a custom one (it does the firmware upgrading), updating your
baseband (a 2.2 gsm/gprs driver) and then installing the new firmware.
Once you have flashed to DJ_Steve's StreakDroid firmware updating it is very, very simple (copy the update to the SD and load it from recovery) it is literally a 5 minute job.
**************************************
Warnings
**************************************
Whilst I have had black screens and recovered very easily from them it has taken me literally HOURS to do so.
Upgrading via this method whilst quite fool proof should only be attempted if you are confident, however bare in mind that the reward is well worth it.
This is the usual "it's YOUR phone, if you break it you break it and I will not be held responsible" blurb.
**************************************
On to the upgrade
**************************************
So your on V2.1 (the o2 **** up) and you want to get to StreakDroid 1.5 because o2 are dragging their collective asses? and
you have already downloaded all the tools above of course? Good! Lets begin!
Extract "The Fastboot tool" to c:\fastboot
Rename "fastboot-windows.exe" to "fastboot.exe"
Extract "The Clockwork Recovery Image" to c:\fastboot
Extract "The new Baseband" to c:\fastboot
Extract "The 720p HD video patch" to c:\fastboot
Install "Dell PC Suite" "R290208.exe" then "Updated Dell Streak PC Sync Tool (eclair 2.1).zip"
Turn phone off
Make sure your USB cable is unplugged
Press Camera and Power until you see a white screen
Press the touch screen on the top right (Fastboot), the screen will change.
Count to 10 (honestly, just do it as it saves a whole load of headache)
Plug the cable in.
Go to device manager (Control Panel>System>Device Manager).
View "Other devices" should be a "Android 1.0" device with a yellow warning symbol
Right click -> Update Driver Software -> Browse for the driver -> Let me pick -> Show all -> Google, Inc -> Android Bootloader Interface.
Ok, Next, Next, Yes I'm sure, etc. Until the drivers have loaded.
Now when you check (Control Panel>System>Device Manager) you should see an "Android Phone" section with the "Android Bootloader Interface"
*********************Point of hard return********************
*****Past this point you will actually flash the updates*****
*************************************************************
Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
goto c:\fastboot
***flash custom recovery***
in command prompt:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img
wait until your device displays "Download RECOVERY Done!"
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
hold camera + power.
unplug the USB cable
enter fastboot again (top right)
count to 10, connect the cable
***flash new baseband***
in command prompt:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
wait until your device displays "Download AMSS Done!"
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
unplug the USB cable
Let the device load into the android os (one loaded you should notice the phone won't connect to o2, this is normal)
After booting connect the phone up as a usb device
Copy "The StreakDroid FroYo v1.5.3 firmware" to you sd card
Rename "update-1.5.3.zip" to "Update.zip" (it's case SeNsItIvE)
Power down the device
***Loading the Update***
If you choose you can leave the USB cable connected for power (although I would recommend you have 40-60% battery life and leave the cable unplugged).
Boot the device holding vol up + vol down + power
You will see a black screen with white writing (vol buttons are up/down, camera button is enter/ok)
Enter "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" (This takes you into the "The Clockwork Recovery Image" used to update via a unsigned zip file)
You will now be on a black screen with green writing
Enter "apply sdcard:update.zip"
Go down to "Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip)
This will load the update
***Factory resets and wiping data***
(I am not sure if the clockwork factory reset and dell factory reset do the same so I run both to make sure.)
Enter "Wipe data/factory reset"
Enter "Wipe cache partition"
Enter "Reboot system now" (after entering "Reboot system now" quickly hold vol up + vol down)
Enter "1. Factory Reset"
Enter "4. Power off"
Power you device back on (Power button on its own)
You will find that the first boot it will seem to hang on the Dell logo for upto 20 minutes, leave it hanging for 20 minutes.
Congrats you should have v1.5.3 loaded with the Android 2.2 goodness.
***Optional HD video Fix***
Turn off you device
hold camera + power.
disconnect the cable
enter fastboot (top right)
count to 10, connect the cable
in command prompt:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn
wait until your device displays "Download DSP1 Done!"
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
***Updating StreakDroid***
Now that you are on StreakDroid upgrading to a new version is very simple.
Download the latest version as listed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8509320&postcount=1
**READ THE FIRST POST!** to make sure that it isn't going to require a factory reset or any other special instructions.
Copy the new .zip file to your sdcard
Rename the .zip file to "Update.zip" (it's case SeNsItIvE)
Power down the device
Boot the device holding vol up + vol down + power
You will see a black screen with white writing (vol buttons are up/down, camera button is enter/ok)
Enter "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" (This takes you into the "The Clockwork Recovery Image" used to update via a unsigned zip file)
You will now be on a black screen with green writing
Enter "apply sdcard:update.zip"
Go down to "Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip)
This will load the update
Enter "Wipe cache partition"
Enter "Reboot system now"
You will find that the first boot it will seem to hang on the Dell logo for upto 20 minutes, leave it hanging for 20 minutes.

Please let me know any feedback, corrections, and so forth.
If it seems no one is interested in it then I'll just let to wander into the cyber graveyard.
on the following:
***flash custom recovery***
in command prompt:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
hold camera + power.
disconnect the cable
enter fastboot again (top right)
count to 10, connect the cable
***flash new baseband***
in command prompt:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
I would put something like "wait until you get the message on your Streak FINISHED UPDATING" before rebooting, or you know someone is going to say "you didn't say to wait!"
Also, on this part:
***Loading the Update***
Boot the device holding vol up + vol down + power

Go down to "Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip)
This will load the update
Reboot the device
Boot the device holding vol up + vol down + power
Enter "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card"
you don't say why you are "Enter "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card"
", or is that just me losing track of the explination? Fantastic guide though. Very clear.

No problems, sounds like a good idea to state to wait. However you cannot type fastboot -i 0x412c reboot untill it's finished anyway.

First post updated - see notes
sucess! finally!!!! I am been strugling going from 02 2.1 to streakdroid. Everyone keeps pointing to the upgrading and downloading post instructions which doesnt work if you follow the o2 upgrade step. I kept having to revert back to o2.
This worked perfect first time.
One thing I noticed was "Extract "The StreakDroid FroYo v1.5.0 firmware" to you sd card"
You dont actually extract the zip or its not a zip anymore. just download and move to the root of your sd card and rename.
It took me a second to realize but someone else may miss that.
Thank you!!!
Thanks this instruction works on my ATT with unlock 2.2

Of course, I would be more than happy to help you.
When you select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg" what do you get? typically if you have flashed the Clockwork Recovery Mod you will get one of two results:
1) Nothing i.e. a blank screen.
or
2) A black screen with green writing.
If for some reason you don't get either of these results please reflash the clockwork recovery mod.

Hi, I am all new to this android thing, and since I'm plug & play kind of user, all these data only confuses me.
So i'm beging for help...
My dell streak was bought in Croatia (europe), T mobile, but device is unlocked and I'm using "tele2" network.
Firmware on streak is 1.6. build No. 6267
I don't know what guide to use for upgrade to 2.2.
I've got a notiffication for upgrade, but as I'm using limited mobile internet, I cannot connect to my home wifi, (Iskon + Carnet) it is somehow protected and you can only connect to it through windows on computer; and I don't know how MB will it take.
So please, help this ignorante woman to figure out this thingy
Did I mentioned I was blond?
Dr.Dellka,
If you are getting an update notice on your device then based on your "plug and play" description of yourself I think you would be better leaving these unofficial updates and using the official one that you device is showing you.
typically an update is between 100-200MB.
Without connecting your device to a internet connection for the update the only other way would be to download the .pkg file and transfer it to the root of your sdcard, reboot holding power+vol up & vol down and then select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card".
Unfortunately because I haven't looked into this method of official update I do not currently know where to source the official Update.pkg file. Hopefully someone else on the forum will be able to help with this.

need your help qisback, i have being trying to update from o2 2.1 to to dj steve's 1.5.1 now for a few days and still no luck . im having problems with the fast boot.i get up to fastboot-mode and then open command promt and type goto c:\fastboot.enter and then.fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img. and thi is what i get .fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.i don't anderstand why i have done step by step as you have described on post 1 . i really need your advice. thanks in advance
Check in the c:\fastboot folder there will be a file called fastboot-windows.exe rename that to fastboot.exe and you should be good to go
yes i have done all that. i feel like pulling my hair out.
Hello The Monster,
I'm sorry to hear that. Typically if you are getting "not recognized as an internal or external command" style responses from the command prompt it's because either:
a) The file isn't in the right place/called the right thing.
b) Your not in the right place/calling the right thing.
So long as you have done the following
Extract "The Fastboot tool" to c:\fastboot
Rename "fastboot-windows.exe" to "fastboot.exe"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should then be able to do the following in the command prompt
cd c:\fastboot
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
**wait until your device displays "Download RECOVERY Done!"**
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please try the above, if it doesn't work then please take a screenshot of the following:
**make sure the error has just occurred**
Select the "Command Prompt" window
type "dir" and press enter.
Press Alt + Print Screen (this will capture just the "Command Prompt" window.
Open MS Paint (either via start or run -> mspaint.exe)
Paste the clipboard (either edit -> paste or ctrl + v)
Save as a jpeg and attach to your next post.

Edit:
thanks for the guide, helped out well. My baseband changed from 21 to 00 which is what I wanted having my O2 Streak unlocked already, so thats good.

If I'm reading this right, I see two problems: 1) the fastboot file has no extension. it should be "fastboot.exe", not "fastboot"; 2) the file size is 0 bytes.
Try deleting the 0 byte "fastboot" file, re-extracting the "fastboot-windows.exe", and renaming to "fastboot.exe"
And to qisback: nice work! I appreciate your effort in explaining what you're actually doing. When I joined the unofficial android upgrade bandwagon a few months ago, I had a heck of a time, largely cause I didn't have a clue what i was trying to do, nor if i had completed each step successfully.
@The Monster I have to agree with Gtg203a the file doesn't seem to be correctly named it should have an "exe" extension and it's file size is 0k. As suggested a fresh download of the fastboot archive and extracting it as per my guide should sort the issue.
@gtg203a I'm glad you found the guide clear and informative, we've all been in a situation where a nice simple guide would be really handy which was the idea of this tutorial. I certainly know that I was in exactly the same place as you a few months ago.
I would normally try give more details and quote posts but as I'm away for a few days I'm using the XDA App and it seems to lack these quick functions or I can't find them and I don't fancy copying, pasting and writting quote tags on an android device (even if my phone does have a 5 foot screen and resembles a house brick).

Hi, i can´t install Official Dell Streak ROM (file extension .pkg) i reboot in recovery mode (Hold VolUp+VolDown while power on) second i select install update.pkg from sdcard but not install, only enter in Recovery Mode clockworkmod (I get message on screen when load recovery E:can`t find MISC:

Thanxs for help.
Put the Stock Streak Rom in root of your SD Card. Rename it to "Update.pkg"
Install first the stock Dell Recovery attached here (unzip it first) via Fastboot "fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery dellstock_recovery.img"
then reboot "fastboot -i 0x413c reboot"
When the screen turns off, press vol up & vol down for entering recovery
then press the camera button to confirm update (second option from the top)
after few seconds the stock recovery will ask you if you want to proceed the update - > press the camera button and voila, you´ve done!
Info: Your clockwork recovery will be gone, since you have flashed the stock one. To get the clockwork recovery install it after you successfully installed the stock streak rom

I appreciate the help, perfect and fast, follow these same steps above but still black screen (I guess dellstock_recovery was not valid).
Thanks for the valuable help and quick response.
When exactly you get stuck on black screen? after you confirm the second option from the top in recovery?
What is your Build-Nr. (Stock Rom) 318? 319? The recovery.img attached here works flawless with 318, i din´t tried it with other builds... maybe you should search for the stock recovery which fits your build of stock rom...

I have exactly the same problem. I'm a newbie with android rom flashing. I can enter fastboot mode by pressing the camera key while powering on. I then connect it to the computer and the phone says "fastboot mode". After that, this is what I do:
Open command prompt
type adb devices (i've added the path of adb in the system variables so i can access it from everywhere)
it tries to look for devices but cant find my streak
I type the fastboot command that you talked about (i have unzipped the image file etc), but it cannot find the command.
What am I missing here?
The reason I want to go back to stock rom is because StreakDroid doesn't work on my mobile and Cyanogen's GingerStreak mod 7 works only for a few hours and then restarts my mobile every 10-15 minutes and doesn't detect the headphone connection either. All I wanted was superuser access in stock rom but installing superuser bricked my phone and now I've tried using custom roms but want my stock rom back.
@Moderators: If you move the thread to some place else, can you please post a link to that thread? It's very difficult to find the continuation of the tread without a link. Thanks anyway.
peaple.. tks for all
Going back to the Stock ROM
I've resolved my problem. I think there needs to be more clarity on how to go back to Dell Stock ROM
Dunno if it's required but I had ADB path set in my system.
To Download:
Dell Stock ROM (find the rom. I found it somewhere and now i've got so many roms on my computer, i don't know which one's the correct one. You can find Eclair floating around somewhere) Found the package, it's 1.6. You can update it to the latest version through DELL later. http://www.MegaShare.com/3295716
Dell Stock Recovery (for fast boot stuff) http://www.MegaShare.com/3295642
Process:
Rename the Dell Stock Rom to update.pkg
Copy it to the root of the sd card. You might need a micro-sd card reader if your mobile is bricked. Any other mobile with a micro-sd card reader will work too.
Turn off your bricked mobile, if it's on. If you can't, then just take out the battery.
Press and hold down the camera button and then click the power button. Don't release the camera button until you see a white screen
Select Fast boot mode on the top right on your mobile
Now connect your mobile to the computer
You will notice that it says Fast boot mode on your mobile
Now on the computer, unzip the stock recovery into a folder.
open command prompt (XP=Start\run\cmd, Win7=type cmd in the text box and hit enter)
Navigate to the path where you unzipped the recovery file (cd is the basic command you need. If you don't know dos commands, then you shouldn't be rooting in the first place)
type 'fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery dellstock_recovery.img' without the quotes and hit enter
type 'fastboot -i 0x413c reboot' without the quotes and hit enter.
unplug the mobile from the computer, grab a beer, sit back and relax while your mobile get's unrooted.

You will have to become familiar with using fastboot.
If you are stuck on dell logo, you will have no options but to flash stock recovery and then flash the correct stock rom.
Apart from below method, if you cannot get to fastboot screen, then download QDLTool as that is said to work also.
Here are listed some facts, tools and links to roms and recovery images.
Download Dell Streak drivers, fastboot driver and exe, Dell Streak PC Suite.
Download the recovery img and the corresponding choice of rom image, put the rom image on your sd card and rename it update.pkg.
cc
Place fastboot.exe and recovery.img in the root of your C drive, C:\
Now using fastboot, assuming you have installed fastboot driver and dell streak driver.
Get your device into fastboot mode, hold down power and camera shutter button at the same time.
At the white screen choose fastboot, wait abotu 10 seconds while it tries to detect usb then connect your cable from pc into your phone.
Now open a command prompt in windows.
In command prompt box type:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Your chosen roms recovery.img should be flashed to the phone. Now reboot the phone using command at prompt: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Now hold down volume up and volume down at dell logo, get into recovery mode, and then press the camera shutter button, and your stock rom of choice should be flashed to your phone.
You should now have a working phone, once flashed do a factory reset to make sure all is good.

So what is the score now, what do you want on your phone, or should we say, what can you get installed that works ok.
QDLTool latest should work fine. If you cannot get QDLTool or fastboot recovery.img and flash etc to work, then surely you have a big problem. I have flashed to custom roms and back to stock roms simply using fastboot recovery.img and rom .pkg for stock roms and streakmod to flash .zip packages with custom roms.
But others are better qualified to help to be honest, but the tools i have mentioned are the tools of emergency recovery, if that fails, its something more serious.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as Arif.
Your instructions are great, and they go very well until this part: "Now hold down volume up and volume down at dell logo, get into recovery mode, and then press the camera shutter button, and your stock rom of choice should be flashed to your phone."
I've always been able to get into recovery mode this way where there are options for factory reset, software upgrade, and screen calibration. (Software upgrade gives me "Cannot mount mnt/sdcard/update.pkg - no such file or directory")
Didn't you just have me flash a new recovery? How do I get to it?
Did you flash the recovery using fast boot and then go straight into recovery before the phpne boots up again? If it boots I think it automatically rewrites the recovery to stock if you are currently on a stock rom.
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
It seems like it's successfully flashing recovery using fastboot, the command prompt says "writing/sending recovery .... okay .... finished" and the phone's fastboot screen says "fastboot mode .... download complete".
Then I reboot using the command prompt and as soon as the screen goes from fastboot to black I hold the volume buttons until it gets to recovery. ....but it still looks like stock recovery. and when I hit the camera button to apply the update, I get the "can't mount update.zip" error.
so far I've tried the 407 and 360 roms/recoveries from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5#ROMs - should I just keep trying different roms & recoveries?
I found a post here on xda saying that the sd card might have to be formatted as ext3.
I tried that, and still it's the same error "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p5"
Hi guys,
I'm afraid my emmc is fried. After occasional crashes/freezes/FC's in different apps/Android modules in CM7 over a few months, one day I opened this site in the browser, and the browser FC'ed and then kept FC'ing when opened. When rebooting, the phone gets stuck looping in the CM7 animated start-up logo. When I boot in Clockworkmod (v4.0.1.0) , I get this error:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
and I can't use Clockworkmod. Cannot mount/wipe cache, cannot install anything. I tried checking the eMMC with ADB and FASTBOOT, but they can't see the device, though Heimdall does see it as I was able to flash recovery.bin again in d/l mode (but without fixing the problem). Please help, I've run out of ideas and have no phone...

you need to get into recovery via the power menu...depending on what kernel version your running, three fingering into recovery will cause a bootloop. the same thing applies to all ICS roms. If you can no longer get the phone to boot up then simply odin cwm4 fixed for cm7, three finger into recovery, wipe data, then reflash the rom. Make sure everything is backed up first. More information can be found in section 3 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
Thanks for your reply. I explained that the phone doesn't boot up anymore (gets stuck in a loop), and while booting into ClockworkMod works (3 fingers), I get these errors, so even though the up/down/power buttons work (I can scroll through the recovery menus/options), certain things don't work, like wiping the cache (it cannot mount or open the cache) or re-flashing CM7 from SD-card... I get errors.
I've had problems with Odin before (it said it flashed stuff, but stuff didn't work), so I've been using Heimdall for a while instead. Like I said, I was able to successfully re-upload ClockworkMod to the phone (in d/l mode) with Heimdall, but it doesn't fix the problem. The problem seems to be that the cache partition is corrupted, and I can't do much from within ClockworkMod (though it worked without problems in the past).
I've found tips on here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284196) that the errors I get are sometimes (though not always) because of physical corruption of eMMC. Is it possible to flash CM7 or CM9 using Heimdall or (Heimdall-frontend), are there instructions on this, though I doubt it will work...I'm new to this lol. I want to at least have a working phone, until I can figure out how to fix the cache problem and make Clockworkmod work again. Thanks.
Is it possible to just fix the cache partition or re-partition using a program like Heimdall?

i have the exact same problem with my fascinate i would think that if i could get odin to flash a new rom to it it would boot but im not intirely sure
I've found others who have the same problem... in my opinion it's clear that the cache partition got corrupted for some reason, either software (fixable) or hardware (the internal memory/eMMC which then it would need replacement or a new phone lol).

you need to flash back to a stock rom via odin, heimdall, or adb...thats the only way to fix it at this point. if you can get odin to recognize the device try section 5 of my guide.
Thanks. I'll give it a try. Odin doesn't see my device, so I'm using Heimdall Frontend which is a little bit different. Do you have instructions for it? I load atlas.pit, but then in order to load the GB rom (which is .tar.md5), it asks for a BIN file, and I also have to add a partition and it's got a lot of options there. Why doesn't Odin see my device, but Heimdall does?
I got Odin to recognize my device (stupid USB ports), I followed the instructions, phone says downloading, do not turn off target, Odin says the same... it's been more than 5 minutes, the same...does it mean I have a bricked device now?
and I forgot, Odin says in top left corner, SET PARTITION...it's been 15 minutes now, maybe it cannot set the partition
Update...I rebooted the phone into Recovery after 20 mins or so of Odin not being able to flash (set partition)... of course Odin detected it and a big red FAIL appeared in the top left corner, and the bottom log said Re-partition operation failed, so, is there anything else I can try or the memory chip fried?
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8867-romsch-i500-vzw-ed05-froyo-heimdall-linux-friendly/
Thanks, I tried what you said, and just like I thought, Heimdall (like Odin) gave this error:
Uploading PIT
ERROR: Failed to send file part packet!
PIT upload failed!
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!
please help, I have no phone
Is Re-Partition checked in Odin? If it is, try unchecking it. If it isn't, try checking it. If it's unchecked, it won't fix the corrupted cache partition, but it should at least let you flash the OS
yes, I tried that in odin, doesn't work
Yikes. You seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. Honestly, it seems that the only possible option here is to get a new phone. It seems as though there must be physical damage to the chip, otherwise Odin/Heimdall would have worked.

that's usually the diagnostic (fried eMMC chip) for these error messages (though not always) and that's what I thought, and I was looking for ways to determine for sure whether the chip is fried or not, as to know what to do and not waste my time and the time of the people on this board...for some reason adb doesn't work, or I don't know how to use it (first time using it)...I type adb devices, I get error, no devices, adb shell, error again
droidstyle,
do you have instructions anywhere on how to use adb, it was one of the first things I tried, but it doesn't see the devices, I cannot start shell (adb shell)...thanks
I made an ADB for Noobs guide about a year ago. It never gained much traction but it should still be current. Anywhere it says CM7, the same goes for CM9.
Was installing the hairybean bootloader, it was on the blue bar loading page, it stopped half way and restarted. It will only boot into TWRP, and it asks for a password. I press the log button and it says:
* Verifying filesystems...
* Verifying partition sizes...
E:Unable to mount '/cache' (tw_mount)
E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
(No such file or directory)
etc...
It will not read my micro sd card, I press install, there are folders but none that I recognize or any that would be of any help
I was planning to sell this tonight -.-
Am I doomed?
I'm sorry for posting this. This was my last resort, I searched everywhere for 4+ hours, and nothing.
Thanks
Edit: I can now boot in apx mode, could I do anything with this?
I also tried the Option 1 on the unbricking thread, in the cmd prompt it says it works but it is the same deal when you turn it back on.
Edit: I can now get into fastboot by typing adb reboot-bootloader fastboot.
Help would be much appreciated!!! Im selling this tomorrow!!!
