Greetings everyone. I need help with a streak off ebay that's stuck on the Dell logo. I went as far as swapping the internal sd over from my working streak and it still did the same thing (mine booted with the other's sd). I tried streakflash (QDL) a million times, it goes through fine but it still does not go into fastboot or recovery. When plugged in it will almost always show as Qualcomm in device manager, so it seems to be stuck in diag mode most of the time.
I've read most of the threads on Modaco and here and the tutorials on streakdroid.com on using qdl and streakflash and I'm not sure if this thing is really dead or I missed something so that the flash supposedly goes through and this thing does nothing. It sometimes stays blank other times it reboots and just shows the battery charging. It'll never make it into fastboot.

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I made a Radio update to version 63.18.55.06_6.35.07.08. I made it putting the update.zip (radio rom) file in the SD Card.
All worked fine until the htc hero restarted (after appears the box with the orange arrow). Thereafter the Hero only shows the Hero logo when I turn on.
I tried to init the fastboot pressing home+power and home+back+power buttons (without SD Card and without SIM card) but always the result is the same, the logo appears and nothing happens.
The computer doesn't detects the Hero's USB connection and I can't run adb commands because it raises the "device not found" error.
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance!
Did you let the screen with the box run its course?
Did the recovery console come back up saying formatting cache?
Have you tryed holding just back+power? ive never heard of using back+home+power
And also, i think your supposed to enter recovery with the sd in.
If that works then in that state is should be found by adb.
But yes, as the poster before me said, it should show the "unpacking" image, and then it should reboot. It should then go straight back into the recovery and the recovery will format the cache. If you tryed to turn it off at any point then, then something is badly mucked up. But it isnt bricked, and probably can be saved. Its only bricked when no logos at all come up on boot. If you managed to get it reconised by adb, you could probs format the cache manualy, though i dont know the command
All the previous steps after the breack are as you say, but after the "unpacking" image, the htc hero restarted and showed the hero logo instead the correct menu.
The problem with the adb is that the computer doesn't recognize the htc hero across usb. When I write the adb command ("adb devices") doesn't displays any device, and I can't run any adb shell for the same reason. How can I run any adb command if the device isn't recognized by the computer?
Have you tryed just taking the battery out, waiting 30 seconds, putting it back in, then booting the phone holding back+power?
And adb is very strange i find... Sometimes it reconises a phone, sometimes it doesnt, for no apparent reason. Have you tryed leaving it on the hero logo for a while then running adb commands?
If he has flashed, wouldnt the USB Debugging setting be reset also, wouldnt this be why he cannot access via adb.
Hi.
I habe exactly the same problem. I have updated radion.
Now ther come only the T-Mobile Logo and that's all.
I can not enter neither Recovery Mode nor fasbtoot does do something.
Any suggestions?
Lado
this problem shud be fixed asap because i think its a threat for all hero modders and owners as our phones get killed at anytime with this process. so guys lets try to find a solution for this problem. cheers
Updated Radio to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 and it killed my hero.
first the box with the orange arrow came up and then the whole phone died... now it wont even turn on the screen.
please fix?????????????????
I had the box with the orange arrow yesterday after flashing radio.
The phone isn't dead, I think it's just working.
I kinda paniced also when it happend but I got into recovery eventually.
When you flash a radio it does not actually install that image until your first boot (when you see that phone out the box image).
At this point DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE PHONE just wait and it will install the image and reboot for you. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES.
If you turn it off or otherwise interrupt this process it can really mess up your phone. however the general rule is so long as you can see the HTC logo when you turn on i.e. it still turns on you can in theory always recover, its just a matter of finding the way that works.
First off id like to say thanks in advance to any replies and also apologize if this has been posted previously (i searched and could not find anything that was helpful) I lurked around these forums when i had my x1 and im hoping you guys can be as helpful for me as you are for everyone else. anyway onto the issue
I used the superboot method to root my ATT US Streak. My intentions were to update to 2.1 following the steps in the "eclair working on my u.s. unlocked streak!" thread (wont let me put a link since its my first post)
after using fastboot to root the phone will boot up and function fine but recovery and fastboot no longer work. i tried flashing Koush's custom recovery and other things that require fastboot and the terminal just says "sending..." nothing happens no errors or anything, the cmd prompt just sits there and i need to remove the battery to reboot the device.
i then downloaded the Rom Manager apk from the market and flashed the clockwork recovery from there (it said i did anyway). when i load the recovery from boot (volume keys + power and its the stock recovery) and chose option 2 to flash modaco custom rom or even the stock dell rom it just goes to a black screen and i once again need to remove the battery to reboot.
the phone itself is still functioning fine when it boots up and everything works the way it should other than the home, menu, and back button lights flash in random orders, thats just annoying though. again any help is appreciated
so what should i try next?
EDIT: woke up this morning and now the device will not turn on. i tried starting to fastboot and recovery but still nothing. plug it into my pc and i get the "found new hardware wizard" for a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM.
first real brick? ha that would be my luck
EDIT 2: a kid just ran through my work, grabbed my phone and threw it on the ground. it screwed up the 30 pin connector on the phone and the charger. im going to hurt somebody. phone is booting again though... put sd card back in and still boots fine
SOLVED: Dont know the technical reasons behind it but i had to reinstall the drivers and switch usb ports for every fastboot and recovery procedure
removed SD card and its booting up normally. any thoughts?
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.

Thanks drsuocide I will give this a go and feedback...
Streak lives again
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.
I hope I am posting this in the right section. I will try to keep everything grouped together so that it makes sense.
I have a rooted droid razr. I was trying to flash the eclipse rom, and my phone became soft bricked.
When I turn the phone it bootloops. I get the M symbol, the word droid appears, the metal things opens, I get to the red eye and it loops.
It did not recognize the battery so I had to pull off the back cover and place the charge wires on the terminals so that I could get into AP fastboot.
to the best of my knowledge the device was on 2.3.6
After trying just about everything i decided i would need to get rsd lite and flashboot a new system to it. The flashboot file downloaded and uncompressed just fine. When it gets to step 2. "Reboot bootloader" The flashboot screen on my phone flashes off then on, the program sits there saying that it is till in progress. After about 5 minutes the program comes back with a failed error.
Edit: So after watching a little more closely this time, I have found that when my screen flashes on fastboot screen, it does not recognize that the phone is still plugged in to the cpu.
Does anyone know of a way or the trick there is to getting passed this?
I have downloaded: sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/list.php

If there is anymore information you need please let me know, via this site or email and I will get it to you ASAP.
Sorry if this in the wrong section I'm new
The only thought that I had is that i have the wrong fastboot file, but I'm not sure that matters because the phone is saying that it has no os essentially.
Thanks to everyone in advance.

Hey all, I have a phone im trying to fix for a friend. Im pretty sure he bricked it. It will not boot normally and is stuck in safe mode. I boot to recovery and load the rom he has on the SIM card but no luck. I just want to get this phone back to stock.
It loads to safestrap 1.07 Which after doing some research is quite old. Ive never worked with one of these phones so bear with me please.
Thanks for the help.
Small update, and bump. I havent had time to check it out myself but If I plug it into the computer and try to start it a White led stays on in the front of the screen. IT will not pick up via usb on my pc so I cant charge it or access it it seems. This is an XT910 as well
