Never people after a few hours i was first able to find the dell drivers from a dell sever, then the computer saw the streak, then i downloaded SDK, then CWM and after some more digging was able to flash it and am currently backing up using nandroid
Once its backup i should be able to flash streakmod 1.9 and go back to stock right?

I had 2.1 installed and working with root and then got a little jumpy and put the latest 2.1 (build 8023) release on it. That worked. I wanted to root the phone, but the androot app did not work even trying it twice. So I grabbed superboot and it installed, but now the phone won't proceed past the dell logo. I can get into fastboot mode fine, and can work cyanogen recovery great. With a stock recovery, it shows a black screen on option 2 trying to install the Update.pkg.
Any suggestions? The phone is essentially "soft bricked" at the moment.
Help!
Thanks,
Rick
Try this worked for me

If the above doesn't work there is another post floating around on Google which has different commands to run for flashing the stock recovery. From what I remember instead of just flashing the Rom, you can erase the other partitions prior to installing the recovery. Send me a pm and ill send you the files which finally unbricked my phone.

no luck yet
I've used Universal Androot on the Froyo build on the Streak - for some odd reason you have to do it twice (some report three) times in a row for it to work.

So your device is now not booting and when you turn it on you just get the DELL logo right?
If yes then what I would do is either flash the ROM again via koush's recovery [I'm assuming you have a custom recovery installed because you have managed to flash a ROM and it's now not working] in the recovery options there is a partitions menu, in there wipe boot, system and cahce reflash the rom form a zip
If that dosent work, put the latest update.pkg file on your device, flash the stock recovery via fastboot then flash the update.pkg via stock recovery
Try that
Alright guys, hey.
I am currently using an official stock ROM 2.2.2. I don't have any recoveries and stuff on it, it's just like the one you get when you buy it. So I'm just asking if you guys could help me out on a way to go on a Streakdroid 1.9.0
Also; I'm quite skeptical of upgrading/flashing my phone cuz I don't want it bricked. If you need any more info, just say it
You can get streakdroid installed for sure. However u need to do a lot of reading about installing streak recoveries, fastboot and so on.
There are some really good guides around here.
However there is always a chance u can brick.

Alright, after going through all the readings, I successfully managed to install Streakdroid on my Dell. However, it feels quite the same as the official ROM.
Also, what are the differences between Cyanogen mod and Streakdroid?
Thanks!
Unfortunately there are not many developers working on streak. This is the best we have got.
This may sound like a dumb question. Do you have 1.9.0 installed or just the streakmod recovery?

I firstly installed Streakmod Recovery ( I used MultiRecovery, you just start the program on the computer and choose which recovery you want, install instructions are there ) and then installed Streakmod 1.9.0 using the Streakmod Recovery and flashing the .zip file on my SD card. It's that simple actually. The first boot took a little time to load, I was getting panicked, and then it started to boot up. It's a lot faster then the stock rom.
Ok sounds like you are there.
You will notice all the crapware is gone.
You should notice things are a bit smoother.
Also you are now rooted.

hello all. i was running the stock at&t 2.2 build 15697 version 331 and hated how slow the phone was running. i was trying to downgrade back to the at&t 1.6 so that i can flash over to streakdroid 1.9.0. there were no instructions on the net on how to downgrade from 2.2 build 15697 to 1.6 and so i tried following the direction from the Guide to Upgrading and Downgrading the Streak thread. doing that bricked my phone and now im stuck on the dell logo boot up screen. tried flashing the recovery for build 15697 using fastboot and still no go. can someone please help me out. been searching for about 4 hours now and no help anywhere on the net. thanks in advanced everyone.
You don't need to downgrade to 1.6 in order to get 1.9.0. Where did you read that was required?
Just flash streakmod recovery, put the streakdroid zip on the sd card, same with install.txt, and follow the rest of posted directions.

i was following the directions on the upgrade/downgrade guide thread. i was under the impression that i needed to flash to O2 os.
thanks for the info...ill let you know if it works.
If you are not sure how to do the flashing of the recovery there is a tool that can be used on your computer. Look for it in the streak dev sub forum.
It is call multirecovery tool. It has all the recoveries you would need. You would have to put the rom you want on the sd card and install it with the recovery.

ok whew! using streakmod recovery saved the day. thanks a lot for the info! you're a life saver!
I had streakdroid 1.9.1 installed on my rogers streak, I had quite a few issues with it and wanted to revert back to stock rom.
once I unrooted and factory reset I flashed the stock rogers rom via fast boot with the right recovery image.
one done I get the dell logo on screen and it stays there FOREVER.. like its been on the logo screen for over an hour.
What am I doing wrong and how long should it take to install and what not.
I might not have all the right info in here Im a newbie sorry in advance
Envious1
so I loaded the streak in fastboot mode
then on pc went to cmd and made sure I had the right recovery img in the folder and the right pkg file on the sdcard
put in the command and installed the recovery img
then the streak reloaded and I went to update.pkg and it did that
android system recovery utility - GAUSB1A13500
Press the shutter button to start emergency software recovery
ect...
now its stuck on dell logo.. how long should it take after an hour I rebooted and it went directly to white page that said emergency sofware recovery start.
what should I do.
you could flash 1.9.1 again, that will save your phone.
You could keep trying to flash a stock rom and eventually it will work.

Basically do what you did when you installed streakdroid 1.9.1 into your streak.
Then retry the stock recovery and rom again is, what i think eSZee is trying to say, correct me if i am wrong.
so I got 1.9.1 installed back on but now when I boot up and select dell stages I get a whole bunch of errors and closes it.
do I need to update the baseband is that my issue? if so how do I do that.
SD 1.9.1 breaks the Stage UI. DJSteve doesn't like stage and has no interest in it. Posts in the 1.9.1 thread have said that if you remove Stage from the Streak with 1.9.1 and then use the aps to re-install it it will work. YMMV and I don't use Stage or 1.9.1 so this is untested by me.

Dell UI is laggy ... you will have better experience with the other lauchers.
thank you all for the reply. I will take a look at using another launcher
