Hi everyone.
I have recently aquired a dell streak that has settled a debt.
The issue is is that the previous owner decided to enter in the unlock code 10 times and has not stopped any sim card functioning within it.
Its a UK dell streak that was originally sim locked to o2.
I am pressentely running the froyo v1 by DJ_Steve custom firmware with su.
I have got SU access using Universal Androot beta 5.
Now even if insert a o2 sim card or any other sim card for that matter i get : NETWORK LOCKED More than 10 attempts were made to enter the pin
I was woundering if anyone knew how to clear or reset the counter with the SU access.
I have also wiped the dalvik cache and done a factory reset using the clockwork recovery image.
In the past i have rooted and installed custom firmware on a unlocked g1 (this was unlocked using a code) and during the proccess the phone had forgotten that it had been unlocked and i had to enter the code in again.
Does anyone know if I can do the same thing with the dell streak/ and how to do the same thing?
try to use rebel simcard on that one
I found problem in StreakSmart forum.
"I have an ATT Streak which I unlocked with a code. I have been trying to update to Froyo and after my download when I start to install it brings up an error message which I cant read because it's blurry because at the same time it's going to re-boot mode, it goes to the Dell screen and sits...and sits... I have to pull the battery to get it running again but I'm still at 1.6.
I have called dell but they wont give me any help because I bought the phone 2nd hand and apparently the original owner registered it and I can't do anything until I give them his info or some crap. Can anyone help me out on this??
also, I thought about doing a factory reset to my phone and then try the update but was wondering if this will lock it, since I unlocked an ATT phone with a code?? "
I brought at&t lock dell streak. It is running android 1.6. I want to unlock it and update to 2.2. Please give me an advice. Will it happen when I update my streak? What is the best way for unlocking it? thanks!
You don't need to unlock it to get 2.2. AT&T has released the froyo update. Just hit menu and go to settings. Scroll down to about phone and select system updates. Make sure you are on wifi.
Dell Streak powered by Streakdroid 1.8.1
I thought you said you unlockedit with a code? So what's the problem when it gets locked again? Use the same code, it still is the same phone even if you upgraded to 2.2, besides unlocking the phone has nothingto do with upgrading the OS.

Hello,
I have a problem with the screen on my phone, and tested it out, and i have a streak of dead space on my screen, and i need to take back my phone. i dont have an unlocked bootloader, so i just need to unroot. But, the stipulation is that I flashed the 2.3.4 SBF for me editing around the multi-touch filed, and locked up the touchscreen. But i was wondering if i can use the factory reset function in the settings? Thank you in advance.

Clarification: I had locked up the lock screen months ago. And fixed it then, but now I have dead space on part of my screen and I need it replaced..
Guys, i bought a phone in ebay...
Dell Venue 2.2.2 android version.
kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
build 15696
baseband version GTOUB1A132131-US
i found in it, an icon called SUPERUSER, i have to say this is my first android, so i dont know anything about this OS phone, i had a Venue Pro in past...
As i have read, SuperUser means phone is already rooted, right?
I have locked it to ATT, when i go to System Updates, browser say no updates and ATT logo appears...
My question is, if it's already rooted, which i suppose, it have no apps, but there is no software to unlock it ans use any GSM chip? something like ultrasnow in the iphones...?
Im planing to use it in mexico, so i suppose baseband also will need to be "flashed" or whatever...
Please help!
Thanks
Locked and Rooted
If you have superuser, then the phone should be rooted already. As for carrier unlocking, there is not that I know of a way via software to unlock the phone. The best bet would be to insert a sim from another company and verify if it is still locked, then if it is have whoever sold you the phone call AT&T and get it unlocked for you. After sim unlocking, you can use a mexican sim without any trouble or requiring baseband changes.
yes, i inserted another SIM, it's locked, i contacted DELL via [email protected], they said this phone is retail, so they would not provide code, at store, they said Dell would provide, they are playing with the ball....
omg, how difficult is to setup an email account in android... pff took me 30 min, in all way because yahoo need PLUS to allow pop and forwarding, my venue pro didnt have that problem at config (and never got a plus at yahoo).. so i downloaded yahoo app from android marketplace and i had access to my email... i think i start to hate this venue, lol
email
I have 5 email accounts coming into my Venue, though none are Yahoo. It wasn't any more difficult to set up than MS Outlook was.
Rooting is made up of 2 parts:
The superuser app
the SU binary.
The app can be downloaded from the market on any device, rooted or not. It merely doesnt do anything on an unrooted device.
The SU binary is what does the work, that you need to either flash with custom recovery or use an exploit (such as gingerbreak) to install. Though pretty much all exploits are fixed in 321+
No unlock code from DELL or Carrier...
Ok, guys
After several frustrating calls, emails and so... neither Dell or Carrier from the phone were able to give me an unlock code... they only kick the ball from side, i contacted the Dell unlock Team, and they said:
Dear Customer,
Please contact the carrier for more assistance on this issue. We would not be able to release the unlock code as the device is in contract with the carrier.
Mobility Unlock Code Team
I paid to 1 guy in ebay to obtain the code, but, he refunded, he couldnt find a code for my device... obviously the phone was sold to me as it is... seller didnt specified it still was in contract, so... i want to ask if you know a good and serious source to try to get codes and unlock this device...
Any help will be very appreciated...
Hi,
My HAM2 is locked. I had a Consumer Cellular account. I had problems with the phone. Sent back to Huawei for a factory reset. They sent me a new phone locked to CC. They gave me a bunch of numbers which didn't work. Then they claim that the EMEI number for the phone is not in their system since they didn't issue the new phone. Is there a way to completely wipe the phone and unlock it?
Thanks,
MickeyMutt
