Hi
I have a aws streak which I'd like to root and put a custom rom on. Here's the question: is the root process the same as for the regular AT&T streak?
I tried searching, but I cant seem to find straight answer...
Thank you
Android Version 2.2.2
baseband : GAUSB1A34500-US
KERNEL version : 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM : GAUSB1A134500
Build : 15380
1. Then copy over the file Superuser.zip Attachment 545097 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=545097) into
SD card. This is the Superuser app
2. Turn off your phone and flash to fastboot menu
3. unzip streakmod-recovery Attachment 545093 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=545093) to you computer
4. flash recover.img >> fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery-SU.img (or whatever you renamed the recovery file to)
5. reboot >> fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
6. go to recovery mode (volume rocker up+down+power button key)
7.select install ZIP from sdcard
8.select choose zip from sdcard
9.select superuser.zip file you downloaded earlier, and apply it
10.select yes - install superuser.zip
11.confirm it says "Install from sdcard complete"
12.select go back
13.select reboot
14.done!
*** this is not my work. I simply copy & pasted from another XDA forum***
So, from what you saying, it doesnt matter if its AWS or not and I can use the same files and same process to root it as the regular US streak?
I noticed the baseband you mentioned is GAUSB1A34500-US which is regular streak..
Heres what I have GAUSB1A133300-AWS.

That would be what he is saying
Well, the root process went well, but when I installed DJ Steve's 1.9 rom something went wrong. Basically now it just boot loops with "StreakDroid" logo..
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thank you

I am needing install a new rom to my SD card...but can't simply move the file over to my phone at the moment (er, I only have fastboot right now). Can I move a file over using fastboot and then use clockworkmod to flash it?
Lemme Rephrase
OK...lemme rephrase this question so you guys can tell what I am up to:
Is there a way to use Fastboot to install Streakdroid 1.5.3 on my Streak? I have 1.6.1.zip file on my streak right now, but when I attempted to flash the rom, all I get it the Energy Star Bios Screen....I am trying to revert back to 1.5.3 so that I can use the phone. Please advise...as right now I have a brick. I am stuck in the Energy Bios screen and this phone isn't wanting to let go.
When I try to enter "fastboot -i 0x413c update update-1.5.3-nobb.zip", I get the following error message:
archive does not contain "android-info.txt"
archive does not contain "android-product.txt"
If you can get into fastboot can't you use the QDLtool to install a working ROM?

have you try to install the zip file using recovery?
I did the same mistake,try to install via fastboot but it didn't worked.
But then I try it via recovery and install the zip file.
Update To My Issue
Schiz - While I get to the recovery screen, the only ROM I have is 1.6.1, and that seems to be failing
Marvin - I am looking into QDTool now...do you have a link that you would recommend?

Visit streakdroid.com. Read the guides and get what you need from the DL section. I've never had to use the QDLTool.
If you can get into Recovery you can mount your SD card to your computer via USB. Then transfer the file over that way and install ZIP from SD. Your Fastboot update method is incorrect.
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
'
I just verified with StreakMod recovery that you can in fact "mount sd card via PC" under the advanced menu.
So, if you are able to fastboot, flash StreakMod recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot with: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Hold down the keys "volume up" and "volume down" simultaneously while rebooting.
Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu
At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu

Hey guys,
I am new to the forum. I recently got a dell streak as a gift. It was bought from Hong Kong. Apparently I couldnt officially upgrade it through the internet. I had to go to this place to get the official upgrade. Obviously I dont live in Hong Kong, so I couldnt do that. Could someone plz tell me how to upgrade it? Thanks. Here are the info.
Firmware verison 2.1-update1
Baseband version GAUSB1A120321-EU
Kernel version 2.6.29-perf
OEM Version STREAK.ANDROID.HK
PS I have searched online for a solution. There is a lot of solutions out there. I really dont know which one I should use. Could someone tell me the easiest or straightforward way to update to 2.2? And what is the newest DJ steve 2.2 version is? Lastly where can I download all the required software?
Streakdroid . Com has a nice easy to follow video guide.

Latest Streakdroid ROM
If you want to upgrade to the latest Streakdroid ROM (1.6.0), either from the QDLTool install or from the latest official build, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to the downloads section and grab StreakMod Recovery, the latest 1.6.0 Update and the AMSS for 1.5.1+ (the update and amss are under Roms, StreakMod Recovery is under Recovery)
2. Copy the update-1.6.0.zip file onto the root of your SD card.
3. If you are wanting to change from the default install options, create the install config file and place on the SD card as well.
4. Extract recovery.img from the StreakMod recovery and place it, along with amss.mbn, into the same directory as QDLTool (QDLTool has a copy of fastboot)
5. Shut down your Streak, then hold down the camera button (all the way) as you turn it back on.
6. The screen should turn white; press ‘Fastboot’ in the top right hand of the screen.
7. Plug in the USB cable – the Streak should now display ‘FASTBOOT_MODE’ at the bottom of the screen.
8. Open a command window and use ‘cd’ to change to the same directory as qdltool.
9. Run: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
10. Run: fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
11. Run: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
12. As the Streak starts to reboot, hold down both volume buttons.
13. The recovery menu should come up; select option 2 (Upgrade)
14. A Dell logo and an exclamation mark should appear; press power or menu to open StreakMod’s main menu
15. Select ‘apply sdcard:update.zip’ then ‘chose zip on sd card’
16. Find the update-1.6.0.zip file, select it and apply the zip.
17. When the update finishes, press back a couple of times then select the option to reboot your Streak.
18. The Streak will restart. It will take about 5 minutes to complete, but you are now on the latest v1.6.0
I think I know how to do the first one. But I am not sure which instruction to follow. Sorry guys. This is my first time doing anything like this. So do I need to use QDL tools or fastboot, if Im upgrading from my current verision. Btw wt option would ppl recommend to install. cheers.
PS can I just upgrade from my current version straight to StreakDroid 1.81 or do I need to get the older verision first?
Follow the one on Streakdroid or follow the instructions on the forum guide to upgrading/downgrading your streak so you would not need to use QDL Tool.

Hi. I feel your pain. I went through a week of reading forums and websites before I figured it all out.
I don't have time to write you a detailed step by step guide right now, but let me give you the gist of upgrading.
1) You need to flash a custom installer to the phone that will let you install a custom rom like 1.81. The one a lot of people use is called streakmod. These custom installers are usually called "recovery.img". This is achieved by booting the phone holding the camera button down. Once you are in fastboot mode, you can run fastboot.exe from your pc with some parameters to install the custom rom installer.
2) Once the custom rom installer is installed, you can flash to a custom rom like 1.81, by holding down power and the volume buttons and navigating the mini gui once it loads.
3) You can go straight to 1.81. Make sure you follow the instructions regarding the install text file. Avoid using the perfmod option in the install.txt file.
4) If the custom rom is not behaving right, then you should re-install the stock rom. This would require you to use fastboot.exe again and reflash back to the stock rom installer. Then reflash streakmod again and then your custom rom.
You can download the fastboot.exe and the recovery.img file that installs streakmod from:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15
Repairtool link will contain fastboot.exe and i think the recovery.img file in there is the one that will install streakmod. If not, then you can grab it from the link that says streakmod recovery beta.
One more thing. Aside from upgrading the rom installer and the actual rom, there is a third component called the baseband. This is the software that controls the actual phone capabilities of the phone. There is a link in there as well to a baseband file, but I'm not sure which versions of stock rom are supposed to upgrade to it. It's called AMSS 1.51+. I will let the experts here chime in on that. I installed it and my device was already at 2.2 from factory. It didn't seem to hurt anything.
But if you do have to install it, you would also use fastboot.exe with parameters. You would only have to do this one time, until they release a newer baseband.
It sounds daunting, but it really is not. Just need to understand the basics of what I outlined, and it will make sense.
This step I'm not sure if you need it or not. I did it because early on I thought I needed to root my device. Install the android drivers on your pc. The easiest way to do this is to install a tethering software called pdanet (free). This should be the very first thing you do.

To to google, in search type in SuperOneClick v1.1.5 go into settings>applications>development>USB debugging and make sure thats checked. Then go back to the superoneclick and click root. If that dont work try shutting down the phone and and once the phone is powered off click the root button in SOC when SOC says "waiting for device"go ahead and power your phone back on. And if that method also dont work then remove your memory card power on your phone and attempt to root again. Good luck!

hello
after read this tutorial it doesn't work.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Dell_Streak:_Full_Update_Guide
( Rooting the Dell Streak )
I installed custom recovery-v0.3.2.7-DoctorWFix.zip
and fastboot work.
I readed many tutorial but i can't unbrick it, please help me.
Lele
First thing think that post was very old, CM never worked right on Streak 5, so if you get your Streak up and running never load it again. As for fixes, PM DJ_Steve and ask him to either upload his qdl tool or permission for one of XDA members to upload it. I have it, but without his permission will not upload it.
> recovery-v0.3.2.7-DoctorWFix
it's work, but i can't read pkg......
My problem is all tutorial use Pkg e phone can't read it
I would like restore it, it's possible? how?
bye
Lele
you cant install pkgs with streakmod, only a stock recovery can install those
if fastboot is working
use fastboot or recovery flasher, and push the stock recovery to your phone, then you should be able to install the .pkg
or just put streakdroid on your sd card and install it using the recovery you already have installed
That's right , StreakMod or ClockWork cannot flash stock rom . Only Stock Recovery can flash Stock rom a.k.a Update.pkg.
Go to fastboot and then flash stock recovery that you want (depend stock rom you have to flash). Her is the L I N K that you can download stock rom and recovery image.
And for root , use this L I N K.
Maybe ... this can help your problem
Ok, guys tonight I will try thanks for all
Bye lele
Now it work,
Download this zip file which contains a recovery for downgrading here.
Move the recovery.img file to wherever your fastboot.exe is.
Put your Streak into fastboot mode ( camera + power ).
Open up command line type: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.stock.new.img
Once it says it's done writing type: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot in command line.
Download Official 1.6 (6267 Build) from http://www.mediafire.com/?nib62786hjj93x4.
Rename the file to Update.pkg and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
Dowload this file and put it on the root of your SD Card.
Download this file and unzip it to your SD Card
Root it's ok but can i know if I really allowed root?
Question:
How can I have stock rom and recovery image both? or must I choose one of them?
bye
Lele
lele, that is good news, remember stay away from cyanogenmod, it is not ready for use on the Streak. If you want custom ROM go with 1.9.0 with either 351 or 353 BaseBand. Or you can wait till 2.0.0 is bit more stable and go with it.
Ok i will try it in this days.
About my question?
(How can I have stock rom and recovery image both? or must I choose them
)
Thanks
Assuming you can fastboot again, very simple use MultiRecoveryFlasher at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000455.
If you have can't get to work, like me one of the very few that it just doesn't work. You can go to TheManii's web page, http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/. Download recovery img for version you want and dowload that version for example go here, http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/354/, download recovery.img. Than go parent page and download Streak_354_15881_11.pkg.
Once you have the pkg, rename Update.pkg and move to root of SD card. Reboot into fastboot mode, flash recovery.img. Once complete reboot while holding volume up and volume down buttons. That will take you to Dell update menu. At that point just push the camera button and let it go, will be in 354 when you start up.
Will be in Chinesse if I remember right, no big deal, just click on box on lower right of the screen and select your language. Or you can go with 351, 353 or what ever version TheManii has on that page that has a recovery img.
I've got a bricked LGP880 without an OS that boots up.
Although it is possible to access the bootmenu with ADB and software upgrade menu.
Is it possible to flash CMW recovery through ADB? and how?
I want to flash CM11 with it, because it isn't possible anymore to flash the stock rom on my phone because it doesn't see his imei number anymore
Thanks in advance.

I tried that but he stops at param 207, and doesn't go further
He won't flash any stock rom without an imei number(of course I have one but he doesn't see it). When I use the LG flashtool the log said: "IMEINOTACTIVE".
I don't know what to do now.
Perhaps it is possible to flash CWM trough ADB or something, and then flash a custom rom (CM11 by example).

Perhaps it is possible to flash CWM trough ADB or something, and then flash a custom rom (CM11 by example).

unmount SD card and do adb sideload filename.zip
I gave it a try but without result (check image)
What can I do now?
Sideload was 100% complete but the phone won't install it.
I tried to install CMW recovery and CMW touch recovery.

I noticed The ROM you have is a .img file, try download a .zip file. you can't flash .img files using CWM only .zip files
Like Cyanogen mod 10 - Download this file http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/42666/cm-10.1.3-p880.zip
And adb push and try install it
Before you attempt to flash.Wipe data Wipe cache & dalvik cache twice.

Thanks for responding!
I tried it as you said but again the aborted message(see image)
something else I can try?
I think ADB is the only way to get this phone alive (if he can install CMW Recovery). He won't flash any stock rom because he doesn't see his imei number anymore.
What can I try now?
Thanks for your help!

This is to unlock the bootloader
adb reboot oem-unlock
Press volume up button
remove the cable and battery
reinsert battery
reboot into recovery
Now flash CWM (You already have the touch CWMrecovery. replace the filename, recovery.img.)
adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cat /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
sync
adb reboot recovery
And install the ROM
Once you reboot into recovery mode, it should be in Clockworkmod recovery and, you can install the Cyanogenmod.zip

Thanks for your answer!
I tried to push the recovery.img file but it won't work (see picture).
My bootloader was already unlocked.
Of course I used ADB in recoverymode, on the second photo I turned into the S/W Upgrade mode for the state of the bootloader.
What can I try now?
Thanks!

ADB push didn't work. it failed to copy the file. because you typed the directory wrong, did you rename the file recovery.img,
in command prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever the directory your recovery.img is located. like here it is c:\users\eldin\desktop\android\rec***--- recovery.img
and then type adb push recovery.img /sdcard after you have kept the recovery.img in the folder you have specified.
or you can you try the same way you did adb sideload , but this time type /sdcard. at the end after the directory.
or even connect the sdcard to pc and copy it to the root directory, using a microsdcard reader.
after it copies successfully try the rest of the commands.
And if you want to use the upgrade mode you could try flashing firmware using the LG flash tool I told you about earlier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
check your device box before you download the firmware. make sure it's the right one. the imei not acitve error might be because you're trying to flash the wrong firmware. this video is not in english but you can follow it. use the thread to download the files.
Hello,
I tried it again but without result (I don't know if I did it right this time).
Your explanaition isn't very clear to me (I am not really good with ADB hihi).
Is it also possible with an external SD card? I got an SD adapter (and a SD card of course) but I don't know the commands.
I tried also to mount the internal SD but it won't work.
About the flash tool, I tried it many times but it isn't possible to flash the stock rom because if I want to flash the stock rom, it needs an IMEI number but the phone doesn't see it anymore.
I hope you can help me!

How to Flash LG Optimus 4X HD with a KDZ File
KDZ Files (Remember to flash a compatible device or you may have problems like IMEI error or even chance of bricking your phone) I'm only giving compatible ones.
V20A_00
V20B_00
If you don't have european LG optimus 4x HD p880 I suggest you check this link and find the correct KDZ file
http://www.lg-phones.org/official-lg-optimus-4x-hd-firmware-download.html
1.Download these 3 apps: Download
2.Install B2CTools
3.Extract the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip
4.Install msxml.msi (located \KDZ)
5.Extract WindowsEnabler.zip to the same folder as KDZ (ex.: KDZ\WindowsEnabler)
6.Run LGMobile update (must be on your desktop) and install the USB drivers
7.Reboot your LG Optimus 4X HD in SW Upgrade mode (remove the battery, hold vol down while inserting usb cable connected to your pc)
8.Open the Windows “Device Manager” > Modems > disable the LGE Mobile USB Modem (Windows + R Type in "devmgmt.msc" and hit enter)
9.Run as administrator KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
10.Run as administrator Windows Enabler.exe
11.After you run the app, an icon will appear on your tray, single-click on the icon until the “ON” text appears over the icon
12.Click the folder yellow folder icon next to ‘KDZ file’ and choose the .kdz file you downloaded earlier.
13.Connect your phone in S/W download mode to your PC. Let Windows install all the necessary drivers.
14.Select Type : 3GQCT. Select PhoneMode : CS_Emergency
15.Click on “Launch Software Update” and don’t click on anything else
16.Your LG phone will restart at 90% but don’t unplug it for now. Let it boot completely and wait till KDZ Updater reaches 100%.
Some LG models just shut down at 90%. You need to power on them manually without unplugging the USB cable
17.WAIT until your phone completely finishes and unplug the cable.
Don’t care about the errorlog, it’s normal. If KDZ Updater is returning a “KDZ extract error”, you probably need to re-download the KDZ file.
If you got only bootloop after flash .kdz, just do a hard reset: press and hold [vol -] and [power] until you got the “android recovery figure” and wait until they reboot again.

Hmm..
I couldn't try the flashable zip because the recoverymode hasn't got the update mode, only in combination with ADB so I couldn't try that.
I also tried the second option with the kdz update but he is stuck at param 207 (see image).
I waited more than 20 minutes but he won't do nothing at all.
LG makes it not easy to flash
I hope there's something else I can try
did you disable the LG modem in device manager? try remove the battery then re-insert it before disable LGE Modem and start flashing.
Here's another flashing tool to flash kdz files http://www.mediafire.com/download/fwrcd3pdj0svjtb/LG_Flash_Tool_2014.zip use CSE flash or you might get stuck in bootloop.
and try flashing the update.zip like you tried to flash cyanogenmod befoere using adb.
telephone alive!
Thanks everyone for helping me!
I stopped trying, because nothing worked.
I sent the telephone to the repair service and now my phone is alive!
Thank God I had warranty of 2 years on the phone.
They replaced some stuff in the phone (as the PCB assembly main refurb).
It wasn't a software problem, but a hardware problem.
Thanks for help!:good::good:
