I'm very new to the whole flashing rom thing. I've tried an unknown amount of times to access clockwork recovery however continued to come to either stock recovery or black screen. I am becoming very frustrated with this whole process. Someone please help me with this.
The Streak overwrites custom recovery files, and that is why you're not seeing the custom recovery you installed. There is a way to stop this which involves renaming etc\install-recovery.sh to etc\install-recovery.sh.bak. I used SuperManager from the Market to do the job, since it can write to the system.
I can provide a more detailed how-to later, but in short, I installed streakmod recovery, rebooted, installed and ran SuperManager to change the file mentioned above, then installed streakmod recovery a second time in case I wanted to flash custom updates to files.
downloaded supermanager however still not entirely sure as what to do. if you are able further help me it would be greatly appreciated. this has become a significantly long process. thank you

completed the task listed above. thank you for the required steps. however... using clockwork brings me to a black screen. you mentioned using streakmod? that will require fastboot right? I don't know how to use fastboot, like I can get to fastboot just not sure what to do from there. and on top of that no driver will properly install on my computer from the device for some reason, including android 1.0 and dell streak driver. what should I do now? thanks again for everything.
Flashing Streakmod will require getting into fastboot, yes. However you do not install drivers from the Streak. They areinstalled from the computer.
1a. Download ADB Tethering Drivers from here.
1b. Download Superuser and copy it to the root of the MicroSD card.
2. Download multirecovery flasher from here and extract the files to a directory, C:\Streak for example.
3. Run multirecovery flasher after reading up on how to use it, and select Streakmod Recovery.
4. Enter Fastboot mode on the Streak by holding down the camera button while turning the Streak on.
5. On the white screen that shows up following step 4, tap "Fastboot".
7. Wait for the response screen, which should say "Wait for USB FastBoot detect...".
8. Plug the data cable into the Streak, and watch the screen change to "FASTBOOT_MODE" in response.
9. The recovery image will very quickly load.
10. Hold down the volume up and down buttons then unplug the data cable. Continue holding down the buttons until you successfully get into Streakmod Recovery. From there you should be able to root the phone by installing Superuser from the "Install Update.zip" option in Streakmod Recovery.
11. Reboot.
12. If you want Streakmod Recovery to stick around, you'll need to follow the how to I provided earlier in the thread, then repeat steps 3-9 in this how to so Streakmod Recovery is reinstalled, since it was overwritten when you rebooted in step 11.
Now, you may encounter a problem at step 8, where the Streak does not show "FASTBOOT_MODE" but is stuck at "Wait for USB FastBoot detect...". This is where the ADB Tethering Driver I provided a link to comes into play.
1. Unzip the ADB Tethering Drivers into a directory.
2a. If running Windows XP, select "Run" and in the dialog box that pops up type "devmgmt.msc".
2b. If running windows Vista or Windows 7, in the search bar at the bottom of the Start Menu, type "device manager" and hit enter.
3. In the device manager should be an item labeled "Android 1.0".
4. Right click "Android 1.0" and select "Update Driver Software".
5. Select "Browse my computer for driver software".
6. Click on "Browse" and navigate to the directory where the ADB Tethering Driver is located.
7. Click "Next" to install the driver.
8. If a prompt comes up saying the driver is not digitally signed, ignore the prompt and install the driver anyway.
9. Re-run the how-to above.
Hopefully this helps, because this is exactly how I had to do it myself, including installing the driver.
Followed to a T and still have the same results. Black screen when I try to get into Streakmod. You get into SR by doing double volume and then selecting update.pkg right?
EDIT: fixed. I was trying to flash from 1.6 O2 recovery. Needed to update to 2.1 O2 to make it work. Thanks
Since this thread is here I hope someone can solve my similar problem. I am trying to install a zip file.
I want to run Clockwork mod recovery mode but when I try it just reboots as normal. I have tried following the instructions by renaming the recovery-install file. But nothing has happened. I am on o2 stock 2.2 is there another option available to me or will I have to go down the Fastboot method?( Which I don't fancy trying to get my head round!)
You need to go into fastboot in order to flash the recovery from your computer. Did you do that?
Turn phone off, hold camera button, turn phone off, wait 20 seconds, connect phone, run multi recovery flasher to install streakmod, reboot. Hold volume buttons when phone restarts, then press power on the blank screen to bring up streakmod.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

Hmm...I didn't want to hear that but I guess I'll have to give it a go.
I was hoping that I could just do it from running Recovery Mode from Rom Manager without the fuss of messing with Fastboot mode. I've read too many scary stories of things going wrong. If everything goes to plan then I may as well consider trying to install 2.2.2.
Thanks mate.Have a +1 on me!
this was very simple to do once figured it out. streakdroid is running very well. I would like to thank everyone here for the help.

I've searched everywhere and I can't find conclusive information on how to "fastboot a recovery image"
I'm sure i could do it if there was a how to, but I can't seem to find any?
please help!
P.s I know how to get into fastboot on my streak but I dont know what all the numbers mean on the screen or where I go from there to install the recovery from the sd card.
i was!!
hehe...we all were at first....worried bout bricking our lovely toys and trying to filter all the posts n posts n post..
have you seen this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000455
seems to be a fully automated process
So if I am correct, this will let me flash a recovery so that I can install Streakdroid yes?
to install a streakdroid rom you will have to ignore my previous comment as the are for stock recovery. you will need to flash over clockwork or, the more streak compatible streakmod.
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
^^^ the post on flashing streakmod to enable flashing zip packages
2. To stop the stock recovery overwritting the recovery you should do:
Rename --- "etc/install-recovery.sh" . (just add ".bak" to stop the system using install-recovery.sh"
Im still slightly retarded but hope this clarifies things
oh....btw... i struggled with the fastboot command.. but found out the full proper command is "fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
"
i.e. 0.x413c must be added so the fastboot command knows what device its talking to..
(Hope this has been useful....had so much fun learning in these forums at XDA would be nice if i could help people in return - IM A RETARD TOO!)
Ok, The thing is, I read through all of that but something is missing.
At what stage do I type things? whats the process for that?
and where exactly do I rename this file?
I know the steps before and after - I'm missing the bit in between here.
k...let me see if i can clarify..
reread the instructions....to make is easier and automated for u, i would suggest the following..(although i did it the manual way this should be painless!!)
1. ensure you have the latest dell drivers installed and that in the device manger you have your Android Composite ADB device up n running.
2. from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000455 download the MultiRecoveryFlasher v.0.3 and the bat file too.
extract to say C:\
(copy the extracted bat file into the same directory.
3. with power off, turn on streak hold the camera button and then the power button together until you get to the white screen, then select fastboot...
4. now double click that bat file in your directory and option 7, and wait 10 secs
5. now connect your streak usb cable to the pc
it should install the latest streakmod automatically for you....
6. when successful run,using the bat file select option 9 to reboot the phone (takes a few seconds for it to happen)
7. exit the bat file.....finished with pc
8. when streak has booted to normal...using root explorer navigate to the folder "system/etc/" and locate file "install-recovery.sh" long press on that file and rename.....rename to install-recovery.sh.bak (by just adding .bak)
9. power off phone and once again boot into fastboot as per 3. to ensure you still have streakmod.....if all is well you can then go ahead and flash your zip from sd card roms.
10. if you get the stock recovery option already overwritten the streakmod just repeat steps above 3-7..
as i said i did it the manual way...but im sure that following these steps using the uksheep's programme you will find it painless........
let me know if it worked or if im still a superdelux, mark1, grade A duffer (was hoping to be grade B by now lololo)
edit...you are rooted??? download root explorer pro...its on the net....tap the R/W button to enable renaming of system files first...be careful!!...also you boot into recovery by holding both volume buttons AND th epower button until you get the four options menu. You have to select option 2 whic will take you to the streakmod (you will see dell symbols..press power button again when you do to access streakmod functions..

?? its a very good read and shows how to use fastboot and where to get the fastboot directory from..radders brilliant guide
Hi I have no Market to install any applications,it won't install anything through a PC connection and it's in a factory reset state. I did a lot of research and tried to re-install the vending.apk file which controls it through an adb command prompt but it then fails on the permissions. I have rooted the phone but at the moment is useless because I cant get it to install any other rooted applications! Can anyone help me solve my dilemma. I'm not very good when it comes to programming and coding and have learned all I know from forums. So at the moment all my Dell Streak is an oversized mobile phone! Regards, Tris.
You rooted the phone. Did you delete the Market.apk by accident?
In any event, you should be able to get the Market.apk file here. Save it to your MicroSD card and then run it using a file explorer. That should fix your Market problem in the interim, although you would probably do better restoring your ROM.
Tried to install that used 'Astro' all was well but when I run the market it says it stopped unexpectedly and asks me to force close.
Been trying to Restore Rom using this method,only problem is I cant find the fastboot-windows.exe to continue the flash:-
HOW TO RESTORE YOUR STREAK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION:
1. Download the stock recovery ROM here and the stock official Dell ROM here.
2. Rename the stock official Dell ROM 'Update.pkg' and put it in the root directory on your SD card.
3. Boot Streak in fastboot mode (hold camera button when turning on), press 'Fastboot Mode' button, wait 10 seconds then connect to your PC (must have Dell PC suite installed).
4. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where your 'fastboot-windows.exe' is stored.
5. Type 'fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery c:\recovery.stock.img' . Make sure the .img file is in c:\ directory. The program will now update the recovery image on your Streak.
6. Once the phone reads 'Recovery Done', remove the battery and insert it again.
7. Boot Streak in Recovery mode (hold down vol up and vol down when turning on) and select option 2.
5. Wait till it installs and it'll boot into Android....DONE!
Any ideas why it now force closes and where that fastboot file should come from?
Thanks again.
Questions:
1. You've rooted your streak. What recovery image did you use?
2. Did you go to /system/etc and change "install-recovery.sh" to "install-recovery.sh.bak"?
While the first question is mainly for curiosity, the second question is very important. It tells me whether the recovery image in question 1 actually stuck around or was replaced by the default recovery image.
For best results, look for multi-recovery flasher in the development forum and use that to restore a default recovery image to the Streak instead of doing it manually. It includes all the files you need, including the fastboot file. After that, go to the wiki and download an official ROM image from there.
I have no idea what is causing the force closes, and that is why I'm recommending starting fresh from a stock ROM in the first place.
Thanks for your help, managed to get the job done. All that stuff wasn't necessary but appreciate the quick reply.
First I managed to download a Stock Dell o2-UK 2.2 Rom form the Dell website Here:- http: //cot.ag/fKoFRX
Then I followed another guide I found by changing the filename to 'update.pkg', putting it on the SD cards Root directory and booting into recovery Mode (Hold down both Volume buttons while powering on) selected the install form SD option and just let it do its work! Buzzing!!!
At least I can do this again in the future if things go wrong once more(I HOPE NOT)!! I can't help myself you see,i'm one of those people where the last thing I did just isn't enough!
Once again thanks for the help and maybe I hope this could help someone else who needs a jargon free solution to a fresh stock install.Tris.
In simpler language, your recovery image was a stock one, so you only had to follow the Dell standard procedure for replacing the ROM.
P. S. Use the thanks button if I was of help.
first off, i just wanted to state, before i get ripped into, i have spend the last 1.5 days reading everything i can find on any forum that comes back with search results for my issue. i've tried numerous drivers, different PC's, even a Linux Live CD system.
I cannot get my PC (win 7, 32 bit) to see my TF201 via ADB.
It is installed in the device manager with the "universal naked driver 0.7", and shows up as "Asus Transformer Prime ADB Interface". But whenever i try to connect via ADB to run the fix in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088 - i cannot see the device.
I have tried all of the mount/unmount options in CWM. nothing is working for me.
is there anyone that has run into this? And if so, have you found a resolution?
sorry if i'm coming off as the typical noob here, but i really have put in time researching the issue and attempting other fix-it routes before posting up a help thread.

Update****
I was able to get it out of the boot loop, so that it will boot to the splash screen. well following instructions i've found online, when in CWM, i connected through ADB and pushed a copy of cm9.zip up to the internal storage.
yet, whenever i choose "install from zip" in CWM, it never finds the zip file.
i have done it a few times now and it says it copies up completely, but never actually shows up.
syntax i'm using: adb push cm9filename.zip "/sdcard/cm9filename.zip"
it takes about two minutes and gives me confirmation that it pushed x amount of bytes of data for the file, and says its done. I then go back to the tablet in CWM and choose install from sdcard, and it says there are no files.
I'm about ready to throw this thing in the trash and be done with it......
First of all make a small text file and zip it up for a test file that wont take long to push.
Now type adb push test.zip /data/media/
look if the file is showing where you go to install a rom.
If it is showing then push the rom to the same place then install it

I am having the same exact problem. It started when I tried to restore my stock backup that I made using CWM 5.8.2.0 coming from the CM rom. I am stuck in the CWM recovery screen and cant get ADB to see the TF Prime. I just get error: device not found. How did you manage to push a zip if ADB wasn't seeing your device? I have been looking for a fix for the last week now.

the problem is whenever it try to fastboot it just keeps saying waiting for device. I can put my TF prime in fastoot mode when I power on while holding down on vol it just goes right to CWM recovery and any adb command gives me no device found and I tried APX mode (holding vol up during power on) and tried to use NVFlash but that just gives me an error device not recognized. I have all the drivers installed. I used the naked drivers .7 and have cleared out all the old drivers too.

No, you hold Vol down + power then when the first screen with sentences appears you release everything DON'T touch anything, after 5 secondes you will end in a screen with three icons, with volume down youu select the usb icon in the middle, then volume up.
This procedure works even on locked devices except that in this case you don't have the usb icon, only the factory reset and cold reboot ones. So it's impossible you don't obtai this screen, it's hardware coded.
It is confusing but just keep trying till you get it!! Once there go to the TWRP site they have the file and the fastboot commands all set in a guide.
I have exactly the same problem than you.
I had the fastboot/adb connection (I used to push the rom by adb), but i tried to install a wrong version on gapps. Since then, I'm stock in the recovery mode without adb/fastboot connection.
If you find a solution for that, pleaze post it !!

I have a Vibrant T959. I just flashed from the latest official Cyanogenmod (android 4.2), to the latest unofficial cyanogenmod (Android 4.4.4).
However the phone is crashing in the setup process. I need to get back into clockworkmod, however I have tried the hold vol+, vol-, and power technique tons of times, and it does not work. I had trouble with that method before but would always just use rom manager to reboot to recovery, but needless to say, can't do that this time.
I'm currently attempting to use the ADB to reboot to recovery (which I've never used). I installed the latest JRE, and downloaded ADB, however currently I am unable to get the drivers for my phone. I understand I'm supposed to launch SDK manager to download them, however SDK manager does nothing, just pops up an empty command window for a split second and quits. Did some searching to see if I can download the ADB drivers seperate, but just found many dead, or untrustworthy looking links.
Been reading for hours, but i'm stumped now. All I need to do is just get back to clockworkmod recovery. Is there any way to do so?
Well just an update, by sheer luck I found a roundabout way to get back into recovery. Apparently from all the web searching lots of people are having the same problem with the 3 button combo not working. Supposedly it might be hardware locked.
Here is what worked for me.
Hold volume down and power, and after a couple seconds plug in a usb cord (other end was attached to pc, but no software or anything running)
Keep holding those 2 buttons for about 30 seconds, you'll see the battery icon flash a number of times, along with a little round loading cursor type thing which will also be flashing.
After about 30 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the volume down button for awhile.
After about 10 seconds, clockworkmod recovery pops right up.

ADB will work. Use the process given below and let me know if it works
1. Install stand alone SDK tools from here, they should work. (h ttp://dl .google.com/android/ins taller_r23-windows.ex e)(Delete all spaces in between.)
2.Note the folder where you have installed SDK tools.
3. Move all the ADB driver files ( Probably 2 .exe and 2 .dll files, or just copy all the files from the ADB driver folder in which you installed the ADB drivers ) to the SDK tools folder.
4.Make sure all usb drivers for your phone have been installed. ( If not just google it, you will find them in the first or second link)
5. Connect your phone and make sure it is recognized by your PC.
6.Navigate to the SDK folder where you have also copied the ADB files. Hold down SHIFT and right click, Select Open Command Window Here.
7. Type adb devices .It should show you all the connected devices, mainly numbers. If not, the ADB drivers have not been installed correctly.
8. If Step 8 works, to reboot into recovery just type " adb reboot recovery " without quotes.
9. Your phone will reboot into recovery .
(If the steps above don't work, you will have to install the latest custom CWM recovery for your device and then boot into recovery from Step 5. And if you get errors while flashing the rom or the custom recovery then you may have to check if signature verification toggle is enabled and disabled,it SHOULD be disabled.And then repeat the flashing process.)
Hope this works . Happy Flashing!:good:
Glad to know it works for you, for people who can't gain access to recovery any other way, ^ This is the way
I tried to root my phone using this guide, followed it down to the word and yet my phone's stuck in a bootloop. It keeps restarting to the Poco start screen.
Ive got the stock recovery, and for some odd reason fastboot commands work only in the "FASTBOOTD" screen and not the the "FASTBOOT" screen which you get from "adb reboot bootloader" command.
I try to shut it down and it boots up back again in the same screen and is stuck there.
Im clueless and I really dont know what to do. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: I tried to use the stock recovery and wipe data. No progress.
I tried to connect the phone with the MIAssistant but the app doesnt recognise the device.
I tried using the MiFlash tool to flash the stock rom, it goes on infinitely. Im currently trying to use the SP Flash tool and MediaTek Bypass tool but I havnt got any progress yet.
I promise I'm never buying MediaTek devices ever again.
Careful with the Flash and Bypass tools, they can cause problems.
What can you achieve with the hardware buttons on the phone? Can you get it into recovery?
Fastbootd working but fastboot not sounds like a USB drivers problem - there are some driver options here.

It was a driver issue, thanks for the link.
What I did to get out of the bootloop:
1. Download the latest Miui rom for your version, make sure it's the recovery version and not the fastboot one.
2. Press ALL the buttons, Vol+ Vol- and Power button to shut it down for a few seconds (assuming you can't switch it off as it keeps powering back up again).
3. After it's switched off, quickly press the power and vol- button until you see the FASTBOOT screen.
4. Connect with PC, make sure you have the proper drivers and have connected with the right USB port.
5. Download OrangeFox custom recovery. It is a unofficial custom recovery, so its stability is questionable. But it does the job here.
6. Copy the OrangeFox zip and the Miui rom file to your phone's SD card or any external storage which your phone can access.
7. In your PC, extract the OrangeFox zip folder in your platform-tools folder. (The folder where you run your cmd fastboot/adb commands)
8. Open up cmd, and enter the command:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
9. Your phone should boot up to the OrangeFox recovery. If not switch the phone off (Step 2) and press power + vol+ button for booting up to the recovery.
10. Locate your OrangeFox zip installer file in the recovery and flash it.
11. Reboot to the recovery again.
12. Locate the Miui rom and flash that. Before swiping to flash the rom, there is a check box which says something like "flash OrangeFox once the rom has been flashed". If you want to keep OrangeFox as your recovery then check it, or else leave it unchecked. Flashing roms remove custom recoveries.
13. Your phone must reboot to miui.
NOTE: You can use fastboot commands to flash the rom but I'm not very familiar with fastboot commands (I actually forgot most of them). Hence I use the recovery method.
