Hi there. I just got a streak and im trying to root it. I have tried searching on the market for z4root but its not showing up. I also tried superoneclick but when I click root, it just hangs and I have to shut it down cause its not responding.
I have tried to search but i cant seem to find any help.
Edit........ found it on another site. Hope it works
z4root did not work. It runs then closes and when I try to reopen it, it just force closes
Edit........Sorry for these posts. I did not see the gingerbreak app. Used that and now im rooted Now im off to read up more on installing a rom
A place to start.

Hey guys,
I just got my streak today, and im trying to update to DJ_Steve's StreakDroid. Im stuck at flashing Clockwork Recovery. My cmd says its written it, but the Streak hangs at "Start writing RECOVERY". Has others received this problem, and how have you gotten around it?
Thanks,
SplitSnake
You've probably already found out your answer, but for those finding your post like I did looking for the answer...
Try pressing the volume up button and then the power button.

So I want to to root my Vibrant but I can't...Every way I tried it needed to reboot my vibrant to recovery didn't work...
I tried GS Tweaker, ONeSuperClick, rom manager, terminal emulator.....
I got my update.zip file into my SD card but Im stuck with the rebooting thing
I tried all the ways of rebooting: the manual rebooting, Android SDK application... everything thing, I spent the whole day finding ways, watching videos and reading from vibrant wiki..
So what I reached to yesterday is:
while I was talking to one of the pro of android in one of the chat room somewhere, he said maybe because my phone needs "hardware updating" that the buttons can't reboot something like that (since I'm not in the states and I cant get OTA updates from T-mobile)... so I need to download ODIN and find Samsung drivers...
can anyone help me in this please?
try http://www.akaskriller.com/free/flashing.php
there are some files that you may need to ODIN. good luck, hope it works out.

ok....thats weird
first try pulling out your battery.....then put it back in...then hold both volume buttons while you turn it back on w/ the power button....when the black samsung screen pops up let them go...the phone should go into the stock 2e recovery...

Hello, I have been trying to find the fix for this, but every post I have found has dead links. Does anyone have the files and method to fix this?
I received the Streak today from someone who had Froyo on it. When he tried to do a factory wipe on it before he gave it to me, it failed and now only boots to the Dell Screen. I tried using the clockwork recovery to install one of the updates from the SD card, but no luck.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
I think you should download dj Steve's 1.6 and install instead if running the updates from the card cuz when I tried to update with that update.zip in my as card I got an error message to... so I download dj Steve's 1.6 and put it on my card through another phone and used that update package and now phone runs better than fine.
Hope that helps.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Thanks, but I tried that after reading other posts, but the links to the downloads were all broken. Does anyone have an active link?

Much appreciated! The problem I am having is that the phone appears to be nearly bricked. I can get into fast boot and clockwork recovery, but all my attempts to update are having no affect. Some kept me at the Dell logo screen, but now it boots to a dark screen with light at the edges.
The posts I've read say I need to install the original factory rom, but every download page points back to the same page that says the file has been removed.
I've got fastboot installed and that is able to connect, but nothing seems to be working. It could be I am just not doing things right.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Woohoo!
Looks like I fixed it! The only thing that worked was using the QDL tool process, which was a little long and involved, but brought the Streak back to life! For anyone else, here is where I found great step by step instructions including videos:

HELP!!!, i have 2.2 TELCEL P500H 10va and i cant find a way for rooting my phone, z4root hangs and after adquiring root methods it goes to app drawer screen and nothing seems to happen, when using super1click method goes same hangs on running rageagainstthecage or psneuter, just stays there disconnects & connects the phone back again and nothing happens (to try again i need to restart phone and kill adb processes on pc) , help plz
try running it unconnected from the pc.
z4root not connected same happens, does all process of rooting then just goes back to app drawer and nothing happens
try to restart (Turn off , on) your phone after installing z4root
you could do a factory reset on it and don't accept any OTAs.... just straight root it with z4root and see what happens. just make sure you backup your contacts, sms...etc..
tried walledq and same result, gonna try the soft reset what are combo key's for a soft reset on this phone? (i previously owned a cliq) lol dunno key's here
Yeah the same problem am having too...no matter whether connected to pc or not... z4root exits after acquiring the root shell...then nothing happens...my phone becomes very slow...I restart it and everything is normal again...I had updated my phone software once...it is currently v10c...does the upgrade makes it unrootable?
yes it does, u need to downgrade to 10B or 10A, to be able to root it,.... the weird part it's that im on 10A and i have no idea why it's behaving like 10C..... please help!!!
upgrade to v10 b
sorry double post
well ok, i tried factory reset and z4root just when it restarted and same thing happenned, so im wondering to upgrade to 10b, now im just a little concerned im from Mexico on a well know baseband 850 mhz for 3G data, will upgrading to 10b screw up my baseband? if not, ¿which Rom can i use to do it?, i would like it to be in spanish/english, thx for the help
another thing i also tried to do the manual Root using adb commands and rageagainstthecage method and didn't worked either, right after running rageagainstthecage it disconnects/connects the phone as it's supposed, but after that when trying to load again the adb shell it doesn't recognizes the phone again, i need to turn off/on the phone again for the 2 pc's(yes i tried on 2 pc's) to recognize it again. obviosuly the whole process breaks when restarting it and i need to start again, same thing happens all the times
You should also check which android version, rooting doesn't work on 2.2.1
im on android 2.2 10a, it's p500h from telcel mexico
Android 2.2
TELCEL MEXICO LGP500hAT-00-V10a-TCL-MX-DEC-25-2010+0-DZ
brother my advice would be not upgrade to firmware thats not from telcel.
try all possible methods of rooting first or just be happy with ur current settings .
I'm also trying to root my LG P500 which has V10e (Philippines). I read posts that I need to downgrade it to V10b or V10a but I cannot access the links to download the KDZ file. Please help. Thanks!
yea chances are if z4root doesnt work after all the attempts, dont do it. I've never dealt with p500h on this forum before so maybe their 10a is different from the 10a of other isp.
methods tried:
Z4root - failed = goes out to app drawer right after adquiring shell root, nothing happens
super1click - failed = after running rageagainstthecage the cel phone disconnects then super1click it's unable to detect it
manual rooting with adb - failed = same as super1click, after pushing rageagainstthecage, the phone disconnects/connects back and abd is unable to detect it back making it impossible to continue.
well, then i guess ill wait some time and hoping someone get's it running fine, thanks for the help my friends
Also looking at your date, mine says:
V10a-SEP-25-2010
so your V10a is different fom ours, which explains why you are not able to root your phone. If you really want to root it, downgrade to the same one and it will work.

i know that downgrading will make me available to root, but my concern is the BASEBAND u use compared to the baseband we use here in LATAM, Basebands are not compatible, i'm concerned if downgrading to that ROM would break my 3G data on my O1.
Thats why i havent downgraded., Also my phone is P500H not p500 like yours.... so i really think we should wait
been trying and trying, still havent found a way to root the Telcel Rom V10a, hope someone can find a solution
Hi all bit of a noob, Samsung Galaxy 5 gt 15500 Froyo 2.2 trying to upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread.
Anyway downloaded z4root using QR from this site V1.3.0, thread closed so could not post there. Tried to root but it did not root. Tried z4root again and just got a white screen , waited for a while nothing happened, just a white screen, pressed home and returned to home page OK. I tried to reboot and everything came back, still not rooted but z4root now worked. Tried this 3 times again with blue screen but did not work. Re-installed app a couple of times.
Any suggestions on any similar app that will safely root this phone as this one does not work on this phone also tried "super oneclick" did not work. This is getting frustrating. Tried many searches on google and youtube but none seemed to work on this phone
Thanks 2bretired.
UPDATE 9/16/12
Well after much searching I stumbled across a program called "Unlock root" which had our model number as working, but it only runs from a computer. Be carefull downloading as it tries to put Babylon tool bar on your computer even when you uncheck the install box's.
Downloaded, ran the program and at first it did not root but after a couple of try's it worked. So finally I have a rooted phone. Next step to use ROMmanager to backup existing firmware then upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.
Hope this helps others out there. 2bretired

Use universal AndRoot as branimiller9 said and just be careful while using ROM manager, (It bricks if you are not careful enough!!). Instead you cab flash clockworkmod recovery from psyke83 and backup/flash anything from there.
