Tried the 2.1 superboot batch file with my 2.2 dell streak in an attempt to root it. Just stuck at the dell logo screen for 30 min. popped the battery out and entered fastboot mode.
Would like to root it and get DJ Steve's 1.9 on.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
flash Streakmod through fastboot then install 1.9.0.zip with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
got the recovery to work OK.
entered fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery ./update-1.9.0.zip
...and there it hangs. Streak just shows FASTBOOT_MODE
ok, multiple steps you need to perform in order make this happen (assuming you have SD card reader on your PC). 1. If update-1.9.0.zip is not already on your SD card, remove SD card from your Streak, insert into PC card reader and copy update-1.9.0.zip file to root. If already on your SD card skip step 1. 2. take battery out, reinsert, power up holding power and both volume buttons down till 4 option Dell menu loads Select option two with volume buttons, once highlighted push camera button at that point should have Dell logo with small triangle with yellow exclamation point next to it if you loaded Streakmod correctly. Push power button blue Steakmod menu should load; look at pictures on Streakmod thread I provided before.
If Streakmod loaded correctly select wipe cache partition using volume buttons and push camera button, once done go to advanced using volume buttons to move camera button to select. Select wipe dalvik cache push camera button, once done go back using arrow key on Streak. Select apply sdcard:update.zip push camera button once on that menu, select choose zip from sdcard, push camera button. Once on that screen navigate to update-1.9.0.zip using volume buttons, once highlighted push camera button follow on screen instructions from there.
Good luck hopefully you will be running some 1.9.0 goodness soon.
I think you are doing something wrong buddy...
OK, you know to get into fastboot pressing the camera button and power button...
Wait at least 10 seconds after pressing fastboot mode on the Streak's screen before you plug the USB cable in from the computer...
NOW, you should have a folder on your PC (hopefully in the C: root to make it easier to find with the command prompt) named Fastboot, or StreakMod or Clockwork or something of that.
Inside that folder are several other files (fastboot.exe, some .bat files, some adb shell files, etc) that are needed to carry out the functions when you have your Streak connected.
Also within that folder you will place your recovery.img file, you can pick from StreakMod or from Clockwork (I prefer StreakMod) personally.
Now that you are connected, you type for instance in the command prompt window first to get to your folder "cd c:\"here goes the name of your folder"\
Then you type the command "fastboot flash -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotation marks of course
You should then see on the screen of the Streak that it is doing something and also on your PC screen see that it is sending and writing the info to your Streak

Hi,
I got the US Version of the 10.1 32GB WiFi Only.
I already own a SGS and i am "acquainted" with the whole odin, flash, adb etc. procedure.
Now i am at a loss.
The tab will not go to recovery mode when i use "adb reboot recover", instead it just shuts down and shows the battery charge screen.
However when i press the volume keys while powering on i can choose between download and recovery and enter the recovery mode..
Unfortunately i cant access the "sd card" from there...
I "adb pushed" the "root hack.zip" to /sdcard/hack.zip and i can see the file amongst others via shell.
In Recovery mode it just shows an empty directory and the error message "E: unknown volume for path"
So how do i become root?
Any help is very much appreciated!
figured it out.
can be closed..
What was the fix?

shut off the tab, connected to pc, wait for battery animation, press power followed quickly by volume down (the left volume key) your tab starts but with two icons, download (odin) and fastboot (usb), press left volume key to choose and right volume key to confirm!
Once in Fastboot, load a recovery.img file attached to my posted address, make sure the computer detects your device as adb **** device. Now boot to recovery, commands included in the post. Than factory rest or install any ***.zip (custom recovery, overclock kernel, superuser root package etc) file from sd card.

appears a lot of opitions... any one know all??? and the funccion?
tks
if u know where i can read please post the link!!!
You've stumbled into a bar on the wrong side of town, mi amigo!
Seriously, before you go trying to actually use any of these menus, you will want to read this post in its entirety:

That being said, here are some notes on how this works on the Atrix 4G.
Fastboot menu
- Power on phone
- Press and hold Volume Down key as soon as green power light goes out
- Wait until "Fastboot" appears on Motorola splash screen
- Press Volume Down key to cycle through menu items
- Press Volume Up key to select item
The three most important items in the Fastboot menu for Moto modding are Android Recovery, Fastboot, and RSD:
Android Recovery
- Enter Fastboot main menu and select "Android Recovery"
- Wait until Exclamation mark and Android icons appear on screen
- Tap lower right-hand corner of screen to open system recovery menu (for newer firmware versions, press the Volume Up/Down keys simultaneously)
- Press Volume Up or Volume Down keys or tap menu to select item
- Rotate phone to LANDSCAPE orientation and tap lower corner of screen near "OK" to accept selected item (or press the Volume Up/Down keys simultaneously)
Fastboot protocol support
- Power on phone
- Enter Fastboot main menu (as previously explained) and select "Fastboot"
- Wait until "Starting Fastboot protocol support" appears on screen
RSD protocol support
- Power on phone
- Press and hold Volume Up key as soon as green power light goes out
- Wait until "Starting RSD protocol support" appears on screen
- OR -
- Enter Fastboot main menu (as previously explained) and select "RSD"
Android Recovery is a GUI interface for wiping the phone/restoring to factory defaults and applying firmware updates. Recovery packages consist of a zip file containing partition images and a script to tell the recovery program what to do with them. It's common practice to replace the stock recovery program with ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery. For the Atrix 4G you'll need to use a special version - Tenfar's CWM Recovery Mod for Atrix 4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Fastboot protocol requires a USB connection to a command terminal on a PC. Partition .img files are applied directly to the phone memory. You won't want to mess with this until you've read and understood the N00B Guide at the link posted above.
RSD protocol also requires a USB connection. Commands can be issued via a terminal window or a Windows GUI program called "RSD Lite". RSD uses SBF (Single Binary Format) image files instead of the partition image files used by Android Recovery and Fastboot. You also don't want to mess with this until you've thoroughly studied all the info in the N00B Guide.
When you feel you have a basic grasp of how this all works, then here's the easiest method for unlocking your Atrix 4G:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
This all-in-one program will automatically unlock your phone, install Tenfar's CWM recovery, and install su for root access. You won't need to install ADB or RSD Lite or anything else on your PC except for the Motorola USB drivers. I used this one myself after lurking and reading here for about a month. Worked like a charm for me.
Good Luck!
Updating the thread to say... at this point the recommended Atrix recovery is romracer's version, posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1204500
romracer is actively maintaining this version, and it correctly handles backups and restores to/from both the internal storage and the external SD card.
After you run mramirezusa's unlock/recovery/root script (see link in previous post), you can use Tenfar's recovery to install romracer's recovery.
Just noticed that the OP appears to be posting from Brazil... (but then again, I'm not really posting from Antarctica...)
OP, if you don't have an AT&T phone then mramirezusa's script is not for you. Sorry for the confusion...
Hi, I have a Dell Streak 5 with 2.2 Ver I would like to gain root access and want to upgrade 2.2 to 2.3. Does upgrading to 2.3 has any drawback. And how can I delete inbuilt applications which i don't want.
Please help.
!!!WARNING!!! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS OPERATION! YOU MAY KILL YOUR DEVICE IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG! BE CAREFUL
WARNING! - This will erase all data from your device, expect files on your SDCard
FIRST OF ALL
Download DSCv2.0-rel.zip and updDSCv2.2.zip
Copy them to your CD Card
Download Dell Streak Drivers
Install Drivers
Learn How to Enter into Fastboot and Recovery mode
After doing this all, Flash the recovery:
Download this: FASTBOOT.zip
Unzip FASTBOOT foler on your desktop
Goto Fastboot_mode
Run flash.bat
When rebooting, immediately press both Volume buttons to enter the Dell menu <- Recovery Mode
After flashing the recovery:
With the Volume button navigate to the second option, 'upgrade...', and select by pressing the Camera button
The StreakMod menu appears, navigate to 'update using zip', then select the DSC_v2.0.zip file and do the same for updDSCv2.2.zip
When done, navigate back to the first screen, (back button), and select to reboot
While rebooting, again press both Volume buttons [Recovery Mode] and when entered the Dell menu, choose the first option to Factory reset
And then wait for a long time
Done, You have installed Android 2.3 and Rooted youre device!
Else: You cant delete application which you dont need if you don't have root access
If you had, you could delete them from root/system/app folder
GoodLuck!
I tried installing TWRP after turning off the bootloader. I clicked on Recovery in the Fastboot and now it's stuck in "Entering Recovery...". The phone restarts with that screen every few seconds. Holding power+volume down doesn't do anything (unless I'm not timing it right). What can I do?

I know this is late, but I just went through the same damn thing. Twrp 3.1.0.0 forces a recovery loop, install 3.0.0.2 instead.
As soon as you see the "entering recovery" screen, hold volume up and power until your phone restarts. (If it goes back to recovery, wait until it loops and do it again) as soon as your screen goes black from the hard restart, hold volume down and power to boot into your phone regularly.
After your phone boots, use the twrp app to install the previous version of twrp. (Like I said, avoid 3.1.0.0 like the plague. I've already brought this issue up with the recovery handler, hopefully it gets resolved.)

There is an alternative that I've found very useful. And have tested it out several times while attempting to in-OS factory reset. If you're stuck on the 'loading recovery' screen and it continuously reboots, perform the following steps.
1. Press the Power button and Volume Up button at the same time, and keep held for 10 seconds until the screen has gone off.
2. Once you know it's gone off, quickly switch from Volume Up to Volume Down, keep held down.
-This should let you be able to enter into the Bootloader menu. From there, you will require Minimal ADB/Fastboot installed on your computer. Opening up an administrative command prompt within the ADB folder by pressing down Shift and right clicking on the window of the folder(or in my case since Windows 10's new update no longer opens that up, instead opens PowerShell, copy and past cmd.exe from System into that folder (DO NOT CUT AND PASTE, OR DRAG AND DROP)), type in the following.
fastboot devices
-If your device shows up in this list, then you're good to go. Head over to the TWRP website and find your HTC 610 TWRP version, or do as I do and just select 2.8.4.0 and download it.
-Rename the downloaded file as "twrp.img" and drag it into the ADB/Fastboot folder in which you loaded up the cmd prompt from before.
-Next, back to the command prompt you loaded earlier (if you haven't closed it by now) and type in the following:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
-This should copy the file over to your device. After this is completed, go ahead and reboot or boot into recovery. This last option I've not attempted immediately after flashing TWRP back to the main system, but that's because I'm working with an older version of CW12.

Just holding volume up and power worked for me.After the splash screen appears continue holding volume up but let go of power and it will boot I to go.e screen as usual.I then just used the twrp app and flashed 3.0.2.0
Joining so that I can post this, as it took me HOURS to sort it out. Hopefully this helps others!
Needed:
Laptop or PC with Windows (that is where it worked for me, but should work on other OSes)
fastboot app from the Platform Tools for Android (developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html)
USB cable to connect the computer to the phone and run fastboot commands on it
First, you must boot the phone into FASTBOOT mode:
Turn off the phone
Press: ON and VOLUME DOWN buttons together for a few seconds
Release the buttons when your phone shows a mostly black screen with "FASTBOOT" at the bottom-left corner
Next, connect the phone to the computer and use the fastboot app to reboot it into recovery mode (green robot with open chest):
Open a command window and go to the folder where you downloaded and extracted the Platform Tools for Android (download link above)
While the phone is in FASTBOOT mode, connect the device via USB (you should hear the Windows chime when connected)
Test connectivity with: fastboot getvar version
Reboot the phone into recovery mode with: fastboot reboot recovery
Finally, go into the recovery menu and run the factory reset:
After the phone has booted into recovery mode it will show the green android robot with the open chest but will not show a menu
To see the recovery menu, press a *SHORT/QUICK* button combination: POWER + VOLUME UP
You should see the recovery menu now, listing many options (YAY!!)
Press VOLUME DOWN to select "Wipe data/factory reset"
Press POWER to select and accept the factory reset
When that has completed, reboot the phone (press POWER which selects 1st option for "Reboot now")
genius! thank you. minimal fastboot not work, those platform tools are required
Brilliant! Worked a treat.
Thanks
