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.

What up everyone.
So here is my problem. I finally decided to upgrade to DJ_Steve 1.4.6 last week. I first went to O2 2.1. Then flash the clockwork recovery, flash the 2 files (amss and camera fix), and then flashed 1.4.6 and got stuck a Dell logo loop. Then tired to flash his 1.1.1 first, the two files (amss and camera fix) and I still was unable to get past the Dell logo loop. After trying the methods posted to get past the boot loop (none worked for me), I tried the QDL Tool and still was not able to get there due to a fastboot driver issue (which still has not been resolved). I'm using Win 7 64bit. I followed the QDL videos to the T. Here is where my new problem began. I just uninstalled the ADB driver and reinstalled it then ran the QDL Tool and it failed again at fastboot. Now my streak is stuck in another loop that I have not seen before. Here it is....
After powering on, I get;
Dell logo
white screen (wait for factory reset)
Dell logo
and then its starts all over again.
I tried to get into Fastboot (power + camera) but I can't. I also tried to reinstall the 8105 2.1 update.pkg from SD (both Volume + power, option 2) and I still get the loop.
I am not sure what I did but I would greatful if someone would walk me through this issue and get me on DJ_Steve's 2.2 1.4.6 or at least back to OS 2.1. I've been at this for over a week.
Thanks in advance

I am having the same exact issue here.
I am just now jumping into this and I am waiting on a fully charged battery, hoping this is the issue. ( I am at 40% now)
Have you tried installing with a full charge?
thanks.

No I haven't. The flashing of the Streak has really been more challenging than any other device I have ever owned. I am also waiting for the battery to charge. Going to try something new and will let you know if it works.

Instruction Guides are always useful. One thing, Do you need to reboot after flashing 1.1.1 before your flash 1.2?
And
Okay!!! the Streak flash file worked. Weird that the QDL Tool from streakdroid did not. just follow the instruction and you will golden.
THANKS GUYS!!!!! My week of torture is now over..
Tried rooting Tesco streak 15609 stuck at Dell logo
Hi, new to the streak but have dabbled very briefly in phones. I have a streak that I bought from Tesco's unlocked. I remember a reference number 15609 didn't write the rest of the info down. I am stuck at the Dell logl after trying to root it. I know Tesco piggyback of the O2 network but mine had no O2 logo at all. I was at 2.2.2 after over the air upgrades if that helps.
Any help greatly appreciated
easiest way if it still can enter recovery (remove batt then power on with both volume buttons pressed)then a menu should appear just do a factory reset and see if that fixes it(volume keys to navigate and camera shutter to select)..........if it doesn't fix it try the multi recovery flasher and follow the instructions........ good luck
Thanks, tried factory reset but still hangs. Just tried Multirecovery with my 3.51 rom but still no go. Goes through the motions saying successful but just hangs. I'm using win 7 64 bit if that has any bearing. Total flash time is a couple of secs?
Installed net framework 1.1 just in case but still the same. The three lights at the side stay lit up as well as the white Dell logo.
Your best bet is to get acces to a pc running XP. Install the drivers to run it in fastboot mode then use the QDL tool to reset the phone. This will drop it back to 2.2 build 305, you then may have to input the internet settings manually to update OTA again and you should be back at 2.2.2.
From there I'd fastboot the streakmod recovery then use it to install superuser and bob's your uncle. That's the technique I used when I almost killed mine on 2.2 trying to load clockwork recovery on it and the same thing with freezing happened!
edit:When I said use a pc withh XP to install the fast boot drivers it's not entirely correct. To use the QDL tool you need to switch the phone off, hold the up volume button and connect to the pc, then go to the device manager and install a specific driver from a specific place in the QDL tool folder but this won't work on windows 7 for some reason! If you want direct instructions let me know and I'll dig the link out for the QDL download and guide to installing the correct drivers!
Thanks for the input, much appreciated.
I am sorry, I should have mentioned that previous to trying to root the Dell I had Rom Manager installed and ran the clockmod app from it. It all ran fine it was only when I tried to root it using multirecoveryflasher that it hung at the Dell bootup screen. My apologies if this is vital info.
Thanks for the help. Copied the 188mb package to my sd card and followed the instructions and hey presto, working again
Happy bunny
I was using Type Fresh to change system fonts on stock 2.2 rom. Fresh type didn't tell me to reboot like it was supposed to. After manual reboot, it stopped at the Dell logo screen.
The factory reset didn't resolve it.
I found the update.pkg from the xda streak wiki. I can flash it successfully from the sd card, but at reboot, it still stalls at the logo screen. I left it there for several minutes, and it was still was stuck there.
yes but its a soft brick you should be able to fix it with a bit of reading here on XDA i would recommend the multi flasher tool it is easy to use but installing the drivers i think was a little difficult so yea bud good luck also did you try factory reset
Yeah, factory reset was the first thing I tried...
I'd run the QDL repair tool on it. If you can get your hands on it.
If not try the factory reset a couple of times consecutively and remember to give it plenty of time.
A factory reset of the DELL android system with all the junk they have in it can take up to 20 minutes to boot

2) press both vol keys and power
3) select "Update from update.pkg from SD"
4) (re)Install update.zip (Steves) using Clockwork
5) Reboot and press both vol keys
6) "Factory reset"

Thanks for the tip, I read in some other threads about 3 mins. But last night I let it flash from the sd card, and left it to reboot overnight while I slept. This afternoon, I turned it on again and it worked!
Thanks!

You can't install 1.9.0 with the stock recovery so you would have to tell him all the steps to get into fastboot and flash a custom recovery.

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.

Dell Streak through Rogers(Canada)
Ive read all of the "bricked streak" threads already and none match how my phone bricked. I was in the process of installing superboot according to the cyanogenmod streak wiki's instructions. After it installed it started hanging at the boot screen so as any good idiot who just bricked his phone, I googled and hunted on here until I couldn't type simple words. So I found one fix guide that I tried and all has worked except installing the stock rom. I will list the guild, its brief one issue I had to substitute the Rogers rom for an O2 rom as I couldn't find a rogers rom for the streak.
1. Download the stock recovery ROM and stock official Dell ROM. Make sure Dell PC suite has installed.
2. Rename the stock official Dell ROM to "Update.pkg" and copy it to your Dell Streak SD card.
3. Turn on your Dell Streak while holding camera button to boot Streak into fast boot mode.
4. Tap on "Fast boot Mode" button, wait 10 seconds then connect to your PC.
5. Open a command prompt, and navigate to the folder where your "fast boot-windows.exe" is stored.
6. Enter "fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery c:\recovery.stock.img". Make sure the .img file is in c:\ directory. The program will now update the recovery image to your Dell Streak.
7. Once the phone displays "Recovery Done", remove the battery and insert it again.
8. Hold down vol up and vol down button while turning on your Streak to boot into Recovery mode, and choose option 2.
9. Wait till it installs and it'll boot into Android.
You have finished restoring Dell Streak to factory condition.
Method 2
1. Put update.pkg to SD card root folder.
2. Power up Streak whilst holding both volume buttons.
3. Select option 2 - "software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card" by pressing camera button.
4. Press camera button again Job done.

Okay so I figured out the solution, I need to recover it to stock from what I understand. so I've followed the guide(s) and I still have the phone hang after "install update.pkg" with just a blackscreen. I've tried to put the streakmod recovery but I cant get it to install either, hangs on blackscreen as well.
Guys it will be great help if some body can give me the links to the official dell streak 2.1 rom.
Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem , did you fix yours ??
Mine hang a minute after the Dell logo ...
Just recentally fixed mine ie the screen after a year I managed to get it to boot did a reset as it was stalling at dell logo and then sometimes not even switching on just siting with leds on. So after the reset haven't been able to get it to boot so will give this a try see if it works so that I can at least sell it!
Rogers Dell Streak 5 - Totally Desperate Now
Great Forum everyone! Thanks for years of support. After three days of searching, scanning and racking my tiny brain for a solution I am finally breaking down and reaching out to all you good ppl ...I fear after several years of flashing various devices (albeit somewhat amateurishly) I have finally created my first true paperweight. Surely not!
Whilst trying to root my Dell Streak 5 using the Superboot method I think I have managed to brick it somehow...
Tried the method outlined at the beginning of this thread and all goes well until step 8 when my phone boots into Android system recovery <2e>. From here I have manually tried to "apply sdcard:update.zip" this hunts for the file but presumably its looking for a .zip extension not Update.pkg as I have named it. I tried on the off chance renaming the Update.pkg to .zip but then AR says 'bad package'.
Here' what I know:
Dell Streak 5 (Rogers) - Carrier unlocked via Streak Unlocker software (paid for)
Device boots up to Dell screen and hangs on logo, sometimes the logo splash
appears and hangs other times it just flashes Dell logo repeatedly.
When plugged in without battery and left volume key held down device did get recognized as A Qualcomm CDMA MSM device or something. So I don't think its completely dead.
Totally Lost at this point and desperate for help
Any suggestion or additional info would be most helpful.
Thanks
It happens when you using Clockworkmod.
I recommend you to use Streakmod. I had try Clockworkmod as recovery image. But it doesn't work well. I'm using Streakmod and it goes pretty well.

And my Streak has life again. Thanks for the walk through and help
Wish mine would live. It gave it up yesterday. I've tried every frickin thing I can think of including the QDL tool to revive it. Nada.
Guess it's time to part it out.
