HI i went to put evil eris 4.0 on my phone and it loaded up just fine except my data wasnt working but thats because i had my phone flashed to metro pcs with the data. Anyways i got the celb froyo zip off xda {latest version} and the gapps and tryed to load the zip but first i did a wipe and tryed to load it but it wont load. It just stay on the boot screen with android on the skateboard .Now when in hboot ,my phone says wrong img and when i try to load another rom in recovery it says no space left on device and it wont load any rom did i screw my self. I have adb setup is there any method for me to start fresh and reroot with a custom rom? thanks alot in advance i think i did somehting else to it but i dont remember
Since your using metro pcs I have no idea how to help or what to suggest, but if you can see the splash screen and bootloader then your not bricked.

It doesn't matter if I revert back to Verizon and that wouldn't matter anyways since the hex esn number is in metros database but I don't care if I revert back to stock or whatever I just want my phone back no hold bar at this point

Not sure if it will help but did see couple threads about Metro here, I would check those. May give you some ideas on how to fix.
Just do a search on metropcs should get at least one hit, not sure if the other had just metro or metropcs
I don't care about metro I just wanna revert back to stock do you think if I can get the stock 2.1 rom and try to flash it would work?

Did you do a full wipe after flashing the Froyo rom and before attempting to flash another rom? Sometimes you need to wipe more than once for the new rom to load properly.

Yes I did a wipe initialy when I loaded evil eris v4.0 and that booted up fine and then I decided I wanted a 2.2 rom so I got the celb rom for the Eris and the gapps and then I rebooted into recovery and did a wipe and uploaded the celb rom and it wouldn't load after. 30mins I said screw it and poped out the battery and booted into recovery and tryed to wipe and reload but it kept saying staus 7 and no space left on device so I don't know what else to do..

Did you do a nandroid backup before you tried the 2.2 rom? If so, boot back to recovery, nand backup/restore and restore your backup.
Also, some roms need you to flash the rom, then the gapps, then boot. If you miss one and boot early, you'll get looped!

Since you still have recovery, you're not bricked. It's just a matter of getting a rom to boot. Was your sd card partitioned for apps2sd while on the 2.1 rom? Also, did you try wiping your rotation sensors and battery stats? If you don't have a nandroid (mentioned above), wipe, wipe, wipe and flash a new 2.1 rom.

How does wiping battle stats a nd rotation sensors help?
I've been pulling my hair out trying to loads new rom and get stuck at the white screen. I've flashed many roms before. But lately get stuck at the boot stage.

Wiping those stats has no real use when changing roms if you're not already having problems. However, I've read other threads where people have been stuck in boot loops or not booting at all and that has helped them. Worse case scenario, if you wipe them and it doesn't fix your problem, it hasn't started any either. How many people actually use battery stats or change sensor settings?
Just trying to help.

eris_evil,
Do you know how to use the adb command line, and you have your PC set up (USB drivers and all) so that it is working?
If so, charge your phone fully (100%), and then:
- plug it in (USB) to the PC
- boot the phone into Amon_RA
- from the command line on the PC, run the following commands:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell umount /system
adb shell mount /data
adb shell umount /data
adb shell mount /cache
adb shell umount /cache
And then report back if you see these commands reporting errors. Do NOT paraphrase - cut and paste the exact text you see into a reply here. I am guessing you will see an error with either /system or /data.

None of the HTC/VZW OTAs will work unless you have the stock recovery installed. Also, they will bomb out immediately if you have the wrong OS on the phone. Not a chance in h3ll that they will work on a (dev) ROM - the first thing they do is call getprop() to check the currently installed software version.
Nevertheless, the original download links (Google) for all of the Eris OTAs are listed in this XDA post
You can attempt flashing the Leak-V3 PB00IMG.ZIP ROM to your phone using the HBOOT + PB00IMG.ZIP method. Given the state that your phone is in, I'd guess there is about a 50/50 chance you will end up with a brick.
There are other approaches that are much more cautious - but are not guaranteed to work, and would require me to write a novel to describe them.
Basically, you attempt to do everything possible inside the recovery boot before you touch either "system" or "data" further - but you start by getting the 1.49.2000 S-OFF bootloader onto the phone. That requires jcase's "misc" image flashing, plus a HBOOT+(Root ROM)PB00IMG.ZIP install with a Toastcfh "battery pull trick".
That would give you the option to use fastboot mode to flash either Amon_RA or Clockwork to the recovery partition - that can only be done with the S-OFF bootloader
bftb0
You can only load Pb00img.zip from hboot. That's the only one that will work in hboot.
Put that file in your root folder on your sd card and shut your eris off. Hold the volume down button and turn your power on and you should be alright

Ok I thought the worst was over but now my phone is bricked for real it won't turn on or charge, how do you recover a bricked phone. If not do you think that since I bought my eris second hand will htc sill honor the manufacturers warranty if I send it to them plus I already called them and they said the warranty is still good because I haven't tryed to take the phone apart. I never told them I rooted my phone or tryed to put a custom rom on it but nor did they ask either. All I told them was one day I went to use it and it would not work. The only thing is if the phone won't turn on at all will they be able to tell I was messing with it. And if there is an other option to fix it without having to mail it out for three weeks.

I had 2.1 installed and working with root and then got a little jumpy and put the latest 2.1 (build 8023) release on it. That worked. I wanted to root the phone, but the androot app did not work even trying it twice. So I grabbed superboot and it installed, but now the phone won't proceed past the dell logo. I can get into fastboot mode fine, and can work cyanogen recovery great. With a stock recovery, it shows a black screen on option 2 trying to install the Update.pkg.
Any suggestions? The phone is essentially "soft bricked" at the moment.
Help!
Thanks,
Rick
Try this worked for me

If the above doesn't work there is another post floating around on Google which has different commands to run for flashing the stock recovery. From what I remember instead of just flashing the Rom, you can erase the other partitions prior to installing the recovery. Send me a pm and ill send you the files which finally unbricked my phone.

Yes you can go stalraight to 1.9.0, just Put the 1.9.0 update.zip and install.txt in the root of your sd card, flash streakmod recovery, reboot into recovery, install 1.9.0, and you are done, just follow the guide, you won't get lost.

In addition to what eowyn0821 mentioned, I fastboot-ed the baseband and 720p fix as well. Just in case. Remember to wipe using the default factory reset not the recovery.

The reason you are having error is because you renamed the zips to pkg which they are not, they are zip that is why when it was opened you get the error. Go to the wiki page section of xda for dell streak you can find all the roms, recovery, basebands almost anything you need about streak.

So step 1 for me should be to root my phone correct?
( hello I guess I might need to do a backup first?)
and then I'm clear to use streakmod recovery to reload the zip file.
do I also need to upgrade my baseband first, or is this an optional step?

Yes it is an optional step, it depends on you on what baseband you want to use, but if you are planning to go 1.9.0 i suggest you stick with 345 as i know it was based on 341 and 345 builds.

Just my two cents' worth. Tried to upgrade from streakdroid 1.8 to 1.9 without factory reset. Worked fine. Tried again with a factory reset. Went into an endless loop - boot screen to unlock screen to boot screen..... and so on.
Flashed stock recovery, did a factory reset from stock recovery, flashed streakmod recovery, installed 1.5, then 1.8, then without a factory reset installed 1.9 - all worked fine.
Okay,so far I have installed superoneclick and it looks like all is well and I have installed clockwork recovery and all seems as it should be.
How do I get the install.txt and the update.zip package onto the root of the sd card?Is this the same as just dumping into the sd card from windows? Or do I have to do this in the phone?
Do i need to rename the zip to update.pkg?

If you are coming from any 2.2 you do not need to install superuser as all streakdroid such as 1.9.0 are all rooted, yes you just have to copy the 1.9.0 update.zip and install.txt from your comouter and paste them on your sdcard. You do not have to rename it to pkg as clockwork and streakmod only install update.zip and stock/dell recovery install update.pkg. All streakdroid roms are update.zip and should remain as such.

The recovery usually has some options to mount the sdcard. I have used it on streakmod recovery. You might wanna use that to get the right files on the sdcard to install the new rom.
This gallery will show you the menu options that allow you to mount the SD Card from streakmod recovery.
Thanks for your input,after a few false starts I am up and running-so what's the standard donation for a new improved ROM these days?
Right off the bat,i am very impressed by the display res.Even at what I assume is the stock 160dpi the screen looks amazing.Coming from the samsung galaxy,this was one of the larger dissapointments with my dell..up until now.
In the end it waz streakmod recovery v0.3.2.6 beta that worked the charm for me.Multi recovery and clockwork was no good but I was likely the bug .

Problem with Google
Hello all,
After update to 1.9.0 i have one very annoying problem - i simply cannot sync with Google.
Account is enabled, but inside settings->accounts&sync->my account list is empty.
Simply no options to sync.
After factory data reset (via privacy settings), all options appear (calendar, contacts, etc) but still cannot sync.
"Sync is not possible now, try again later".
Update options were "bios, stageui, noswype".
What can be wrong?
Ok, problem disappear just today.
I did nothing.

When i try to push Android keyboard button in language & kb menu, i have error "process com.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly.

mucho problemos w titanium backup
So my installation of 1.9 Streakdroid over stock 2.2 ran quite well except for some minor issues.One that was bugging me was the time stamp coming in wrong on texts which is a big pain.(I am now working around it by making time settings manual and setting myself to +-0 gmt)
So I thought I had better do the factory reset and clear the Davik cache and see what happens.I backed up using Titanium and proceeded as planned.
Factory reset and everything is okay but every time I go to restore my apps and system data the phone completely craps out.It seemed okay for a while but progressively got worse until I was forced to repeat the procedure many times.At this point every time I go to restore everything with TB the phone totally craps out FC'ing everything imaginable.
System reset restores to a working state but as soon as I restore ADW or TB it seems to crap everything out.
Anybody know how I can retrieve settings from a single app (my tracks) out of a titanium backup?Is there an extraction tool that would bypass everything else?
i cant get any of anything to work on my streak i've tried everything from 305,318,319,345,347,351,353,354 and they all restart as soon as it loads up and goes into a boot loop...if i put streakdroid 1.7.1, 1.8.1, or 1.9, on it then it just locks up at about 1 min of using any apps i mean any app...i've used the multirecovery flasher and the qdl tool it all does the same stuff idk what im doin wrong im almost ready to throw this thing into a wall cause it wont work for me im stuck with a bull**** ass samsung and no streak....i cant take it please help me????
PS: when i first got this streak was december of last year....everything worked great on the stock 1.6 but i still cant even go back to that.....
PPSS: if someone has a messanger and could help me please please please im begging u to help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Factory reset the phone with stock recovery. Flash streak mod recovery, clear all caches. Install 1.9.0 streakdroid.
Sounds like you just keep flashing roms on to of roms without doing resets or anything like that.

what if im having a hard time gettin into recovery mode?
Allright, so there I was, running a rather stable Comm Rom 2.0 Voodoo Rom with the ED10 Kernel/Radio, and then I saw the thread on the OMFGB GB release, that I, of course, just HAD to have...
So, my first mistake was being impatient and not being able to find any installation notes, and pretending that I knew what I was doing by installing the rom via CWM mod.
Here's the rub, for some reason, whenever I did the 3 finger salute, it would pull a RED CWM that went orange when I applied update.zip ... because if I tried to install rom from sd card with the initial CWM boot, it wouldn't install anything, it would just error out unless I applied update.zip. After selecting apply update from zip, it would boot the orange CWM and allow me to install whatever I wanted...
So after applying the OMFGB rom, it showed the Fascinate/ Cyanogenmod 7 bootscreen, then went to boot loop. I panicked, pulled the battery, then backed up everything to my computer, and formatted the sd card in FAT32 with Windows 7 64 bit...
Shortly thereafter, I was using ODIN and the original "return to stock" files, and ended up getting into the stock OS.
Now I never show 3G or even 1x, and never pull data at all... when I go to place calls, it says that verizon cannot authenticate my phone... when I activate, it reboots and says everything was successful, but was noticeably a faster process than standard activation. Upon reboot, nothing improves... the os is there, everything shows that everything is fine, yet I am still not able to place calls...
Here is where it gets weird... My wife called me today, and the call came through... I received text messages, but still couldn't make calls... My bill is zeroed out, I'm not locked out that I know of, and I just want my phone working again...
Running out of ideas. I have flashed ED01 DL01 and even reapplied the stock .PIT in odin... I am going to try heimdall while I wait for help from here, but any quick help would be GREATLY appreciated...
I believe the issue is you need to convert your system to mtd before flashing omfgb...some one correct me if I'm wrong though as I don't want to spread false info.
but Try installing jt's 0704 cm7 build following his instructions, then install his 0713 build (possible unnecessary step but it worked for me), then flash omfgb. You will most likely have to flash jt's fixed cwm to subsequently flash his cm7 as I had to since I was coming from a stock restore. And now I'm running a blazing fast omfgb...I was able to restore all my apps and data in half the time it took on com rom...good luck let me know how it goes

Alright the issue is resolved, my main concern was whether or not I could use my phone for phone calls... after finally mustering up the guts to call Verizon, it turned out that the main problem in which I was experiencing was due to some form of typical midnight updates that big red does... apparently, my phone, missed some form of update that ended up de-authorizing my phone, but Verizon was able to help out, even at this late hour.
On the good note, everything went through just fine as far as flashing cm7... I just seem a bit conflicted with which rom is best. I guess its just a matter of personal preference, really. So far I prefer jt's rom just fine, but I might be switching back and forth between jt's and omfgb...
Thanks again for all the help folks, I appreciate it more than you could know.

Not sure that I totally understand as to why I need to flash cm7 0713, then omfgb, then reflash cm7 0704... seems a bit redundant.

Because omfgb apparently doesn't convert to mtd but cyan does, so you have to flash cm first

yup, that was your mistake. prior to flashing omfgb, you need to be on jt's cm7.
I'm too lazy to read all the posts but try flashing cm7 via cwm4. then, Odin back to stock using the right files and configurations. there's a sticky in the development section.
