1. flash amss
2. flash dsp1
3. flash recovery
4. go into update mode in the recovery wizard
5. wait for it to install
but i get stuck at the dell logo....i was waiting till it updated to do the factory reset....was i supposed to do this first???
im tryin to go back to stock AT&T so i can do a warranty claim....please help anyone
When in recovery are able to make selections? If so, what are you selecting?
Also, did you already place the needed ROM on the root of theSD card?

Im trying to root my phone and I read online I need to get into recovery mode but my phone is going to Android recovery mode. It doesn't give me an option to install the zip file from my sdcard. Only options I get is reboot , reinstall packages, del all user data, and del cache data. Im using the OCLF from the market to get root. thanks
p.s I also used Odin to flash JI6 so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Go to market, download rom manager, flash clockwork, then install rom.
thanks I will try this
Thread moved to Q&A.

hey guys, sorry but im a noob at this. i have a lg p500 with android 2.2 . i followed the instructions to root my phone and install a custom recovery. both worked. i also backed up my phone and performed a data/cache wipe on the phone from the recovery console. i was able to flash the cm7 into the phone. however, upon reboot, the phone kept getting stuck at a bootloop with the android 2.2 splash screen. AFAIK CM7 has its own boot screen. ive tried it twice with 2 different beta versions. any suggestions?
THANKS PPL!
Format system, for this flash the zip file from the first post. You will find "if you get bootloop".

Here's the link to the .zip that you can flash to fix this: system flash fix
When?
Thanks for the quick reply!
i do have a few more questions. when do i flash the format image on my phone? do i do it after creating a nandroid backup or do it do it after installing the custom ROM. and if i do install it, and if something goes wrong, will i be able to restore my phone back to its pre-flash state using a recovery image? please let me know. thanks so much!
wipe all, flash format zip, than flash cm7 zip.

You must flash: format system.zip first, then flash Mik's rom
No matter what i do i cant get clockworkmod recovery flashed. my streak is running stock 347, 00 ROM
1. I tried through ROM manager and it says it worked flashing 2.5.0.7 then if i try and boot into recovery it boots dell recovery or if i try backup i just reboots normal and no backup is created?
2. I tried through terminal but after i enter su, then flash_image recovery/sdcard/"name".img i get recovery image not found
3. i cant do fast boot since i use ubuntu and i have searched and not really found a good walk through for that?
Thanks any help would be amazing.
Why dont you ask your question in the clockwork thread?
Also, you need not post the same question in multiple sub_forums.

actually the regular works/ installs just fine, i always get cant find misc errors? The alt img works too... But they hang on data, and streakmod hangs on fastboot
not being funny i have checked the official forum for the clockworkmod streak and it doesnt help. i have just accepted to stay on streakmod recovery and it would be nice one day for someone to give a full tutorial and problem solved issues for everyone trying to install clockworkmod

I've flashed everything properly and I'm able to boot into streakmod immediately after flashing. However, upon rebooting the phone, going into recovery mode will not take me to streakmod. It will only take me to the stock Dell recovery page (where I can restore or press volume to power down).
Why does this only work immediately after flashboot and not afterwards?
Thanks in advance.
This is on 354 btw.

When you reboot the phone it's supposed to take you to the stock DELL recovery. You choose the option to install update.pkg and then when you see the DELL logo with a yellow exclamation point you press the power button again and it will take you to Streakmod.
Now, if you are using a stock ROM, then you have to use a file manager that gives you root access (such as Root Explorer) to your internal SD card and rename a file called "install-recovery.sh", located in \system\etc (can't remember exactly where it is) and rename it to install-recovery.sh.bak. Then flash Clockworkmod or Streakmod again and you should be good to go

Yeah, it works fine after rebooting through flashboot, but after that the streakmod page will not load up...it will simply take me back to the stock DELL recovery.
I'll try this fix though...thanks!
Stock roms overwrite the recovery after every boot. That's why is works once after flashing. You'll have to run a custom rom to maintain a coustom recovery. Sorry :-(

You do not have to run a custom rom to use a custom recovery. You do have to root your phone so that you can rename the file install-recovery.sh located in the folder /system/etc/ so that it does not run every time you boot your phone. I use stock 351 and the recovery-v0.3.2.7-DoctorWFix.zip version of StrekMod Recovery so I can make nandroid backups.The latest version of MultiRecovery Flasher will install this version.

the set is currently on starhub stock.
i tried download a couple of rom and rename to upgrade.pkg but i keep getting error while trying to run them.. something like status 7..
please help. sorry.
You sound like you haven't a clue. Are you downloading zip files for custom ROMs? Or downloading .pkg files for stock ROMs?

There are more tutorials than I care to mention but basically:
Flash stock recovery
Flash amss and dsp1 files for gingerbread
Download olleh 407 package and rename it update.pkg
Boot into recovery and flash the illegal ROM
After flashing immediately boot into recovery again and do factory reset
First boot will take anwhile
Don't setup phone, let it sit for about 10 minutes
Reboot again
Flash streakmod recovery
Download zip for chosen ROM (DSC preferably)
No need to name it anything special, just know where to find it when flashing
Before flashing wipe cache and dalvik

Well then what you have to do is load the file (zip or package from Dell) wirelessly using something like wireless adb or some type of SMB app (Samba, Remote Web Desktop, there are plenty to choose from.. the fact the port is faulty has ZERO to do with booting into recovery. It only means you can't mount the file system for transfers. Once you have the file in storage then you flash it like anyone else

hi sir, i tried alot stock rom it keep giving an error on status 7,
and dell streak boot up and got a black blank page cos i deleted some system files using root previously.. so i cant really use the phone to do anything at all..
so if u mean the .pkg from dell can solve the issue, where can i get the.pkg directly from dell?
PS: this is my current steps ->
1) i could not flash recovery mode because my charging port is not working/faulty
2) my dell streak 5cant longer put up to android menu, just remain blank after unlock screen cos i deletted some system files using root previously
3) i download almost all the stock .pkg on xdadevelopers and all is giving me error status 7
4) i tried custom rom, streakmui, simplestreak, djsteve, all cant be installed due to cant verify signature.
please help thanks
thanks meanwhile i tried to find my stockrom from starhub , and really cannot be found.
;(

Well if you are getting a Status 7 error that means you are using custom recovery... not being able to verify signature means your zip file is corrupt or you are using Clockwork Mod instead of Streakmod I believe. If you are using Clockwork Mod well there's not much hope because you can't flash... but if its Streakmod then you need to download new zip files.
If the Streak will boot then adb push the new file to the sdcard. You don't even have to unlock the phone to do that

hi thanks for your help.
i did not flash recovery at all as i said, my usb port is faulty and i cant connect my phone to pc for any recovery or fastboot..
anyway i solved the problem by calling the streak using another phone (suprisingly, it rang)
i then can also go into sms to view them.. i texted the streak a link, open the link up, it prompted for wifi and i proceeded.
after going into the link, i then download go launcher from google and install.. and now its all solved.
i bet the fell i deletted is dell stock launcher from system.. so it could load the launcher and menu page.. so installing a custom launcher helps..
but the stock system is still down.. since i could use the phone already, i will try clockwork to flash a recovery thru my fone without usb connection and flash it again.
thanks anyway cdzo72

Basically never use clockwork mode to flash any kind of dell streak series because in my experience may cause a trouble in dell streak itself, better use streakmod v 3.2.8 you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5 I always use this one and look always fine till right now or use stock recovery, if you chose stock recover Install appropriate driver extracted from fastboot zip and then Connect phone pc with usb cable. :
1.Turn phone off
2.Hold down Power + Camera simultaneously until white menu appears
3.Press the Fastboot button in top right corner\
4.Finished
from the PC write this fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img after this your dell streak should be enter the streakmood 0.3.2.8 mode than flash the file room you want to...sori for my bad english
