Have a dell streak that was running 2.2 fine..reformatted the sim card, then did a factory reset, and the phone just went into a reboot loop. Trust me, I have been to every resource on every forum and spent hours trying to fix it. I used QDL, streakflash, etc multiple times and on multiple computers. I was getting the error about the driver that everyone has, but i eventually figured out that it is not the driver, it is the fact that as soon as QDL gets to that point, the streak goes to the screen saying "factory reset, wait for reboot", over and over and over.
I have been able to get it to the point where I can get to fastboot, or the screen that allows you to restore from the sim, but that is it. I have flashed the recovery image with fastboot, i have tried restoring with the dell 309, 318 pkg's, the 2.2 rom, multiple times. Streakflash always gets me back to the ablity to enable fastboot screen, but qdl always takes me to the factory reset screen. Restoring from the sim SD card just brings up a black screen, and i've tried 3 different sd cards. Running the engineer test on the internal sd says everything is fine.
So, I have tried all of these steps 10 times or more, and I get nothing, so if anyone has another method, let me know...Also, as the title states, i will send my streak to you and pay you to get it back up and running, I don't care if its a custom rom or stock or 2.2 or 1.6 or whatever. At my wits end...
Also, I live in the chicago area if someone wants me to just bring it to them.
Thanks!
by sim card do u mean the microsd card ????
if ur able to get to the fastboot mode u r safe.
Have u tried flashing the CWM recovery ?
If ur able to do that flash then flash 1.5.1 streakdroid rom.
I always use fastboot and recovery to install roms.
Never used qdl and hence cannot answer questions there.

Alright guys I am in desperate need of help!
I have a Dell Streak, I know it is the American version as I had a 3G connection on my provider (Fido), so it gets the bands the same as AT&T. I bought it from a local seller, so returning it to Dell is not an option
Problem: The only recovery IMG that doesn't give me a blank screen is Clockwork, but whenever I try to load any rom, it just gives me the Dell Logo.
No Roms work period, I can install the update zip but everything just hangs at the Dell Logo. Sometimes at the Dell Logo, the soft keys flash or the Logo does this weird purple thing like it will boot, but then it just keeps going in circles!
Only recovery that works is clockwork (v2.5.0.1)
I have tried atleast 5 others, have fastbooted, uploaded the stock recovery, but nothing works.
I have tried methods posted on various other sites, but I have no idea what my baseband is or any of that. I only had the phone for about 2 hours, and I wanted stock 2.1 on it as it was running a custom rom. I do not remember any specifics about the custom ROM except it was Froyo by DJ Steve.
Yes I have tried loading the same DJ Steve Rom, but nothing again just stuck at Dell Logo
I have also tried fastbooting and loading recoveries, but as I said all I get is the blackscreen. Only ClockworkMod works!
I dont know what other options there are in ClockWork that can help, and I dont want to mess it up further
I really like the phone but I cant use it !!
Any help would be awesome! Please guys I'm counting on someone to give me some help here please!
can probably sort this out for ya with some of my magic hackery drop into the #dellstreak irc channel on freenode and ill help out
same problem here

please help me as well exactly same problem im facing with my dell streak...i had ur 1.3 version installed then for some reason i factory resetted to erase data...but after that phone is stuck at dell logo....then i tried putting ur version 1.1.1 but still of no use.......help...
I was through the same issue. I must have fastbooted/flashed everything I can download in every order.
I did manage to get it working once, but it had so many exceptions in the log that I figured I try the official dell rom.
The three simple fastboot steps and a factory reset got me out of it. Now I have a working device, a "clean install".
Now what this means going away from the DJ roms, I don't know but I don't care for now. I have a working device in 5 mins.
I hope it works that easily for you too. I'm going to stay away from flashing until something stellar.
Running AT&T Dell Streak, 1.6 6601. Being slightly irritated with the lack of updates by ATT, i downloaded QDL and went through the walk-through. Everything seemed to go smoothly. However, on reboot after the QDL tool was complete I've frozen on swirling dell screen. Anyone hit this snag? Possible bad img? Currently running QDL tool 2.7.4.8; anyone had success on a previous version? I've ran the QDL tool more times than i care to admit. I apologize if this has already been addressed but I've read so many threads on so many boards I need to walk away from the computer for a while.
I have also tried a factory reset (via volume key boot and and clockworkmod) neither of which worked (another problem for another thread). Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Zac

My first thought is a bad download of QDL Tool.. I would delete the version and folder you have, re-download and attempt once again. Make sure you leave the battery out of your streak one min. prior to plugging it into the computer. Then once it it recognized by QDL, run, once finished unplug the phone and allow it to reboot. If still no go, please let me/us know. Good Luck

Thanks for the response. Gave it a shot and still frozen. A quick question, for any programmer who knows this system, what is it trying to load at the spinning dell screen? Is it loading the boot.img? I thought about trying to just flash that via fastboot after running the QDL tool. Bad idea? Second question, anyone know where to find an older version of the QDL tool? Basic forum and web searches have lead me nowhere.
Last question, if for some reason the streak is fubar, would returning this to best buy with some jacked up version of 2.2 and clockworkmod on the phone void its warranty?
I really appreciate any response. Cheers.
try a factory reset in the 1st menu in recovery (don't go in clockwork). The factory reset within clockwork is broken - doen't work correctly. This will hopefully fix it.

That was my first reaction. I tried the factory reset via volume key reboot. it flashes to the white screen stating the factory reset but it reboots to the frozen loop... i think shes s.o.l... I believe something has to be corrupt. Its an odd issue. Is there a way to factory reset via fastboot?
Thanks again
i'd go to webchat.freenode.net channel: #dellstreak to see if you can snag a copy of the lower level version of the QDLTool. If fixes corrupt firmware, which you may have if the factory reset is giving you issues. Just explain your issue and someone is usually in there and can help.
Hello, I have been trying to find the fix for this, but every post I have found has dead links. Does anyone have the files and method to fix this?
I received the Streak today from someone who had Froyo on it. When he tried to do a factory wipe on it before he gave it to me, it failed and now only boots to the Dell Screen. I tried using the clockwork recovery to install one of the updates from the SD card, but no luck.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
I think you should download dj Steve's 1.6 and install instead if running the updates from the card cuz when I tried to update with that update.zip in my as card I got an error message to... so I download dj Steve's 1.6 and put it on my card through another phone and used that update package and now phone runs better than fine.
Hope that helps.

Much appreciated! The problem I am having is that the phone appears to be nearly bricked. I can get into fast boot and clockwork recovery, but all my attempts to update are having no affect. Some kept me at the Dell logo screen, but now it boots to a dark screen with light at the edges.
The posts I've read say I need to install the original factory rom, but every download page points back to the same page that says the file has been removed.
I've got fastboot installed and that is able to connect, but nothing seems to be working. It could be I am just not doing things right.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Woohoo!
Looks like I fixed it! The only thing that worked was using the QDL tool process, which was a little long and involved, but brought the Streak back to life! For anyone else, here is where I found great step by step instructions including videos:

Now time to learn all about this beauty!
Thanks!
So I upgraded my Dell Streak to StreakDroid some time ago and had been updating along the way as new versions came out. At around 1.9.0 my streak started crashing every which way. So I reverted back to the old version - no luck. Then I reflashed 1.9 still no go. My streak now crashes basically whenever I try do anything useful with it. Whenever I open Maps, Market, browse a page with any pictures, watch a video, or even think about using flash my streak freezes up and then capacitive buttons flash a few times and the Streak reboots. Often times it hangs at it the Dell Logo and reboots a few times before being able to get back into android. Sometimes it never even makes it back to android and I have to pull the battery.
I recently tried Farad's Ginger Streak, it was stable for a while but now has the exact same problem! (Yes I did the amss, dsp, gps flash)
I have run all of the Engineering tests in the Fastboot mode ( I was convinced it was the internal SD card for a while) but they all turn out fine.
Something interesting: Whenever I boot into fastboot mode it says TE Failed and something else in red then it looks like it tries again and finally gets to the "Wait for SD Detect" until finally booting to fastboot mode.
I am at end of my nerves at this point! I can only use my phone as a phone! Everything else crashes it! Please Help.
Thank You.

Did you try the 2.3.3 Gingerbread ROM?
If nothing works then the internal SD card (2GB one) maybe faulty.
He mentioned testing the internal SD and that it reported no problems.
To the OP, has this occurred on stock ROMs as well?
I am currently running farad's 2.3.3 ginger rom.
As for the stock ROM I don't remember having the problem back in the day of stock 1.6 from dell but that was a looong time ago...
I was trying to go back to complete stock..but any instructions I find seem to be a bit shaky I tried just flashing the stock rom through streakmod recovery but it never booted(didn't really expect it to since I had to flash a new amss and dsp to get 2.3.3). I was thinking about going QDL but that doesn't flash the 1.6 if I remember correctly. I kind've want to send it in for warranty but I need to get it back to stock for that.
Thanks for taking intrest and helping.
Install the current version of your carrier's ROM on the Streak and try that rather than going all the way back to 1.6. This will allow for the following:
1. The recovery image, the baseband, and the software are all the same version.
2. Eliminates hardware as the source of your difficulties.
If the Streak functions properly under the carrier firmware you install, then you can safely eliminate hardware as the source of your problem, which means the software is the culprit. In that case, install Fards' ROM again and test it. It is possible that your Streak had a bad flash when putting GingerStreak on it.
I believe the directions given on the Dell Streak Flashing Guide on the Wiki might be helpful.
Did he factory reset at any time inbetween all those flashes?
Flashing rom after rom wont fix anything if it's the data that's the issue, custom roms dont wipe data as a general rule (they can, it's simply not scripted to on install as it's usually not required for updating the same rom but to a new version).
I didn't even think to ask that of him. Putting a stock ROM on the device does wipe everything though, so wouldn't he be at the same end point that a factory reset would be at?
A stock update will, but reading his posts i'm unsure he actually managed to get any stock update to complete as he was likely doing it wrong
If I had a penny for every time I factory reset my phone....
I can't tell you how many times I factory reset my phone between rom flashes but it didn't help any. I tried both the factory reset from the "black and white" and from within StreakMod. I have cleared the Dalvik Cache and the batter stats and the entire cache partition. I have run fix permissions out the wazoo. And it never really helped any.
Anyway I just installed the latest stock AT&T Rom (unfortunately they are only at 2.2.2) as suggested by Strephon (thanks for the wiki link by the way that place is amazing! How is it I never ran across it in all my time with the streak...)
The phone seems ok...but so did all the other ROMs when I first installed them. Any ideas on how to "stress test" the device short of installing stuff from market and trying to do everything?
Thanks for all this help by the way you guys are being awesome.
Well nevermind...that didn't take long at all. It is giving me the same problems as before. It is freezing, flashing LEDs and rebooting a few times. It made it into android for a sec while it said "checking SD card for integrity" in the status bar then rebooted again and finally booted into android.
If you're having this problem even with a stock ROM, I believe you have a hardware related problem, and that it was simply coincidence that it happened shortly after upgrading to custom ROMs.

If its not under warranty, I would look on these forums for a disassembly guide and replace the internal sd card. I replaced mine with a 4 gig just for the heck of it.
Alright I guess I will I call Dell tomorrow and see if I can't get it fixed/replaced.
According to the warranty site I should still be under warranty.
I'll post back once I contact dell. Thanks for helping out so much!
Success
Called Dell and they next-dayed me a new streak. Runs just fine. I guess it was a hardware problem after all.
Now Last time I upgraded my streak from stock I had to go through a whole bunch of hoops (QDL, then some intermediate stock roms then streakmod and finally DJ_Steve)
Is this still the recommended path to 2.3.3 or has a better way come around since?
Hello guys. I bought a used dell streak which worked before I flashed streakdroid 2.4.4. I flashed the amss and dsp1 and everything matches when I check the phone information. I tried searching for mobile networks and AT&T appears but when I select it, it says "unable to connect to network please try again later" or "unable to register". Whats confusing is that I get a voicemail notification letting me know I have voicemail but when I click on it, I get "mobile network unavailable"
I rarely ask questions because when I'm stuck on something it is usually a simple fix. I've flashed every custom rom and matching baseband on the front page of the android development section and the Official PKG (351, 353, 206). I've done multiple system wipes etc. Im not sure what else I need to do. I've never worked on a phone for more than 4 hours and Im currently on my 11th on this damn dell streak
So is there a way to find out what region this dell streak came from to make this process easier, I dont want to have to try flashing every single update.pkg and baseband.
Or is there a general solution to this issue hidden in the archives of the internet?
Im soooo confused so any help would be greatly appreciated

Do a cache wipe
dalvik cache wipe,
"DELL" factory reset
Re-Flash gs244, then straight away do the first 3 steps again.
This time, flash without the simcard inserted.
When it first boots up after the factory reset, turn it off, put your sim in and power on.
I had the same prob as you with a uk network sim, after doing the above, it worked fine, im pretty sure it will sort your issue.

I have tried this step 3 times to no avail. When I go into settings>Wireless & Network Settings>Mobile Networks >Network Operators then select Search Networks two networks appear related to my phone company. When I select one option it says
Your sim will not register to this network
The second options gives me this response
Unable to connect to the network at this time. Please try again later.
Isnt the error code for a bad radio blinking lights? So why am I getting this particular error code.....
Is there a deeper menu within the dell streak to access more radio settings?
Is there a way to find out what region this phone is from so I can flash the original update.pkg?
Will the packers win the superbowl.......
Thanks for the help so far, this seems to be a common problem. I searched through several pages of Google, I even resorted to using bing and yahoo but I haven't found one consistent solution. Lets make one guys.
Also after dell factory reset I get this error Default NV checked #2 which doesnt allow me to go straight into the update.zip streakdroid menu then it resets the phone.
Do yourself a favor and don't install GingerStreak. Development has essentially stalled on that ROM, leaving it in a very buggy state compared to other ROMs. I recommend DSC, but with the GKernel that's available in Android Development instead of the kernel that comes with the ROM. The combination has been rock solid stable on my device, without any screens of death or problems with WiFi.
Ive flashed every single update.pkg from this list and have my Dell Streak 5 currently on 1.6 At&t retail 106 rom
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/
None of the packages work. On the Rodgers I would get a
Emergency Calls only status
Other than that I just have 4 bars with an x over them
I even erased all user data via fastboot
Ive used QDL at least 8 times
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Is there a key code via fastboot menu to get further into the mobile network settings?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Does your Streak still boot after using fastboot -erase? That's a big no-no. Usually results in a brick that only can be cured by disassembling the Streak and flashing an image of the internal MicroSD onto the card.
I am assuming that you flashed the recovery for the ROM you wanted to put on the Streak before trying to flash the ROM? You likely will have to search for some ancient posts, but if flashing the desired ROM's recovery image and then flashing the ROM doesn't work, you have to prepare the Streak to accept newer ROMs. Those ancient posts I mentioned detail the method to get units like yours to run newer versions of Android.

I know fastboot erase is a bad idea but at this point not having a mobile signal makes this device useless to me anyways. I did that twice actually.
I am currently running official rom update package 360 or Android 2.2.2 the latest from retail. I am still having the same issue.
I have spend a good portion of my day for the past 4 days reading archives of discussions both here and on madaco. No on seems to have a consistent solution to this problem. Ive read that sticking a business card under the battery works, the order of flashing should fix it, I mean the solutions are all over the place and I tried all of them but I still have the same problems.
I haven't read every single Q&A post but I have read almost everything under the Dell Streak 5 XDA board pertaining to this issue. I've also flashed every single available update package with match recovery and baseband with no results.
I feel like I've failed at this project and I am never going to get the time or the effort I put into this device back unless I can get it to work so this is just beyond frustrating.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried using a different sim card? Every now and then there's a sim that wont work on it but will work on a different device.

Sorry your still having this issue.
Ive googled and found nothing consistent apart from the obvious that already been mentioned.
Daft question i know but, are you absolutley 100% certain that this phone has not been blocked by your network via IMEI?
Sounds daft i know but people using phone / Tablets are reporting on consisten problems with networks and IMEI.
I would not attempt QDL anymore, if it didnt fix it the first time then that wont help your cause.
I think going back to ground zero is the place to sart, can you gain access to internal memory card, mine i can, i cut away the piece of plastic in the guide to allow easy access, i replaced the internal 2gig card with an 8gig class 10, just to note, the 2gig card was shot and was nothing more than a standard generic unbranded card, i do still have it sat around.
That would be my next step, wipe the phone, stick a diff card in and start again with STOCK 360 and matching recovery, i agree with the quote of avoiding gs, too damn buggy and problematic.
Let me know how youre getting on with it.

I ended up just liquidating the phone and cutting my losses. I dont think it was blocked from the network because I tried several SIM cards from different networks. For all I know it it could have been a bent SIM connection or something wacky. I am leaning towards the idea of it being hardware related but I gave it my best shot
Friends, I am also in the same state now. I bought the dell streak from one of our members, and it worked for few weeks. After that, I am getting that signal bar with X mark on it. I have tried all the options, but of no luck.
I spent almost my 6 months savings on this phone and it's really making me sleepless. Request your kind suggestions to address this.
hi
i had same problem about a month ago, i just kept restarting phoning, pulling battery out and i gave up, then after leaving it for a couple of hours it was working......
^^ Thanks friend for your reply. I have been doing the same, doing the factory resetting and trying the various options. But, of no luck.
Any concrete solution for this problem? I appreciate all your inputs.
What I would suggest for all of you is to go back to Froyo by flashing stock Dell update packages for your respective regions and see if you regain signal

If you flashed a stock Froyo ROM for YOUR SPECIFIC region, did a factory reset and still can't get a signal then your problem is hardware related...

^^ Yeah, that's my big worry!! It seems to be a hardware related. I got this phone from one of the our members, and it has already having some hw issues like the buttons are gone inside, right side bezel is very loose, and all (unfortunately, the seller has not mentioned all these issues in his post)
Can the dell warranty applies internationally?

It applies only in the country it was purchased if it hasn't expired and with a valod letter of release from the original owner

^^ yeah, checked my local dell service guys and they are not supporting this. I think that this is now turning into an expensive brick!
