[Q] Strange problem with Dell Streak - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have a strange problem with my Dell Streak.
I had 2.2 stock and I flashed the amss.mbn that DJ_Steve gave me. Then I installed Streakdroid 1.9 and everything was working good. Two days later, making a call, the phone just turned off. Now it stucks at the Dell Logo. I have tried QDL and fastboot with no success. ClockworkMod and StreakMod says that they can't mount cache, recovery/log and they can't mount boot or system. I have tried sending some images from fastboot, flashing them correctly, but it fails to boot.
Any thoughts before sending it to Dell? Thanks
EDIT: SEEMS TO BE SOLVED! I opened it and I changed the internal SD card with a 8GB one and it is working

[Q]Factory Reset Loop ... Blank screen after Update.pkg

well i have a version 347 build no 15274 and i tried to root it and then it got stuck at the dell logo so i did a factory reset and that didnt help then i tried to use an update.pkg and always got signature verification failed, so i booted into fastmood and started flashing different recovery images and basebands, and nothing worked the last baseband and recovery image i flased was 111 so i tired to use the update package for the 111 and that doesnt seem to work. so i tried another factory reset and now everytime i attempt to get into fastboot i get stuck in a factory reset loop with a white screen with factory reset text reboot white screen reboot on and on...and every update.pkg i try doesnt seem to get anywhere but a blank screen and this is very fustrating i have been at this for 10 hours straight please help!!!!
Of course you must make sure you have installed the correct recovery that matches with the .pkg you are using...
When it boots up, hold both volume buttons, then choose factory reset from the First menu. Then do it again.
If that doesn't work, you may have messed something up. Look up QDL tool for the Streak and try to upgrade that way.

There is a post about a bricked streak in the General Dell Streak forum. There are links for the QDL tool and instructions there.
I had to use the QDL tool to get my streak back from near death. And then to prep it for a warranty return since I have some weird issue with a flashing light restart loop when my Sim card is installed.

The internal SD card on your streak may be bad.
To find out start fastboot mode.
When you have the small touch pad on the right enter *#301#
This will start a internal test of the SD Cards. Everything should pass.
If it fails you need to replace the internal SD card.
I had this issue before and that is what the problem was for me.
Hey All,
I was trying to install GingerStreak 2.4.4 from GingerStreak 2.4.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333010
According to the instructions, I flashed
amss.mbn - http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/amss.mbn
and
dsp1.mbn - http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/dsp1.mbn
(got both the files from the first link above)
Then when I tried to reboot into Bootloader (Power+Vol Up+Vol Down) but nothing happens apart from the Dell logo being displayed.
I try to boot normally, still stuck at the Dell logo. The phone never even reaches the boot animation.
I try to go boot into fastboot (power+camera key)mode, but the phone never even boots. The screen stays off, so do the LED lights.
I figured out that the files downloaded above were incomplete(due to slow speed Chrome showed incomplete files as download complete).
amss downloaded: 111KB. Actual Size: 15.41MB
DSP1 Downloaded: 250KB. Actual Size: 8.94MB
So, I flashed the wrong files.
Now, I guess, the phone is bricked big time.
I need big time to get into fastboot mode (to flash the correct files) or anyhow get my phone working.
Guys, need help. Please help me out and get this issue sorted out.
I don't know the details but search for instructions on either streakflash or qdl tool. That may get you back.

Please help me.. reboot loop

HI,
My dell streak gets stuck on dell logo and then reboots again and again. it was not rooted and was working fine on froyo 2.2 O2.
Ive tried installing the update package from recovery mode by selecting install update.pkg from sd card but i get an error saying e:can't mount update.pkg.
After searching i performed an memory test from fastboot; Sd card test passes but the internal memory test fails and gives an error: Cmd/Data test fail. a few days back my computer had a trojan virus and it was converting the folder into shortcuts. I dont know for sure but i think it could have been the cause of this problem as i plug my phone to the pc almost everyday
ill be glad if someone can help me through this. plz can some1 help me through this.plz i really need my dell streak working ill appreciate any kind of help... Thank you
Download a fresh copy of the stock ROM that you need, rename it update.pkg and place it in root of /sdcard
Flash a matching recovery with fastboot
Boot into recovery and flash the update.pkg
Once you flash turn off Streak, boot into recovery and do factory reset

^^ I am having the same problem. I have tried everything like doing the factory reset after flashing, but of no luck.
All you can do is keep flashing and factory resetting or use QDL tool

my friend, if you still can go in to the recovery mode and fastboot mode then you need to reflash and reinstal the rom. but if you cant go to neither that two, or you can install recovery but then just a blank screen, if so you need to do a safe mode and do a streakflash thing then retry the fastboot and recovery. ask google or search on this forum for how to

[Q] Error mounting /data

Hey! yesterday I found a new rom for my phone, Alcatel One Touch 991 so I went downloading it, after flashing it. Everything worked just fine, but the after i restarted the phone, it didn't boot, it was stuck at the boot logo. So, I formatted my whole phone and then reinstalled the preloader, dsp_bl and that stuff. The only problem is that when I got into recovery to install android, i tried to wipe data/factory reset, but the screen just got black, then it gone back to the CWM's start screen. When I try to format /data it does the same thing, and when i try to mount /data it says "Error mounting /data". Installing a ROM won't help anyway, it would get stuck at the logo.
Can anyone help me? This phone does not use ODIN, because everything i found was for Samsung phones.
Thanks.
Anyone? :crying:

Cannot get past Dell Logo on Venue 7 wifi 3730

I've tried everything and would appreciate some help.
Woke up one day to black screen on the latest ota venue 7 tab.
Got into fastboot and then recovery, but got nowhere. Wiped data/cache still nothing
Tethered and used the files in mykitbatch thread; using 4.3.
Got into fastboot, used cli to flash gz, then the other img files included. Reboot and still stuck on Dell logo.
So no matter what i do, its stuck on Dell logo. Any ideas?
So been trying for a few days but nothing works...
basically i can get into droidboot , then into recovery but none of the erase commands complete;
even if i tether it and use fastboot, any erase commands will start, then go on forever
