1. Used MultiRecovery Flasher to flash 351 recovery
2. Download the 351 .pkg file from the Streak Wiki and transferred to the sd card.
3. Used MRF to flash the 351 recovery
4. Used MRF to reboot the phone
5. held both volume buttons to go directly into recovery
Select #2 to apply the 351 update.pkg
blank screen. No progress whatsoever. Backlight and LED buttons stay lit, but nothing on the screen but black
Is there any hope for my Streak?
So far, both stock and Streakmod recovery produce the same results.
My first suggestion would be to stop using the MF flasher and use fastboot commands directly.

The official o2 2.1 update has bricked my streak
Well I say bricked, it won't get past the dell logo. I can get into fastboot and recovery but both stock recovery and clockworkmod but I can't update the SD card with the original stock rom to unbrick it. As its bricked I can't get into the OS to mount the SD card. I can flash via fastboot but not sure of a command that will allow me to flash to the sdcard. I have tried fastboot -i 0x413c flash sdcard update.pkg/zip but this doesn't work. From what I can tell you can only flash to the internal memory? Any ideas?
Thanks
Rob
Same thing has happened to me. The official 2.1 update rebooted after install and can't get past the Dell logo screen.
I have tried all the recovery roms various Update.pkg.'s no luck....
All can't boot past Dell screen. :-( bricked? Thanks o2...
Streak was unrooted, no custom roms, or recovery images had been done. What pita....

Ok a big f*ck you to O2. But I'm back in business.
M4D4, if you're still stuck this is what you need to do.
Get a micro SD card reader
Put your SD card into the reader
Download the stock 1.6 rom from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6KBABM67
Rename this to update.pkg and copy it onto your SD card
Insert the SD card into the streak
Hold BOTH the volume up AND volume down buttons while holding the power buttons
Now you will be in recovery mode, navigate up and down using the volume buttons. Navigate to number 2 'update software via update.pkg'
Press the camera shutter button ALL THE WAY in
A new screen will ask you to confirm, press the shutter again
Leave the streak updating until it boots into the home screen (note - it will stay at the dell logo a lot longer than usual as it is rewriting the dalvik cache but should take no longer than 10 minutes)
Pat yourself on the back and flip O2/Dell the bird
Yep I think Lots of people have had the same prob - me included -
Follow the above instructions and it should be ok.
use a micro SD reader to upload the DELL version of 1.6 (no others will work) to the root of the card.
Reboot - mine took extra long to come back up... sticks at DELL logo... be patient.
Once thats working - copy the 2.1 ver "Update.pkg" to the SDCARD reboot it again and 2.1 will install.
Turn on by holding down both vol buttons and ON button.
Select option 2 - update from SDCard, screen txt should be blue.
Press the camera button - it should then install 2.1
Once it all reboots - wait for some time (I thought mine had bricked again) paused for a while on the DELL logo, then it came to life... 2.1 up and running
Been stable since then, but there is some lag when selecting apps for the home screen that is a bit crap. Mine was quick before.
Although photos feels a lot quicker
I'm using the leaked 8023 build with the buildrop from 8105.

All..I have installed ClockworkMod recovery on my Dell Streak...I know this because I have installed the 2.2 StreakDroid Rom (v. 1.5.3). The problem is, when I try to get back to ClockworkMod, I can never get there...I proceed with the following steps:
1) Pull Battery
2) Put battery back in
3) Turn on Phone with Volume Buttons Presseed
4) Select 2nd option when prompted (install .pkg)
After this...the screen goes black (it's still on...I see light a bit of light on the phone). But typically I should see Clockworkmod recovery at that point...I am not.
Any suggestions to what is happening?
Thanks!
Chris
Not sure if you are still having issues or now.
Have you tried to reinstall Clockworkmod? Give this a try and let us know how it goes.
It is possible that in your upgrade process you may have goofed up the ClockWORKMOD.

Same problem
Using Dell's Froyo
At the back screen hit your power button once. Does that bring the recovery screen up?
Dell Streak powered by Streakdroid 1.7
You can also use StreakMod the streak-specific version of Clockwork Recovery.
And then check the buttons. One of the buttons (camera/power) turns off the screen, whereas the other one is an action button.
where is the streakmod link? is it the beta off of streakdroid here: mistadmin's... http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15
sorry for duplicate posts....
Yeah, I think that is it.
There is a link on here (XDA) as well.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
That's what I used. Either the 0.3.2 or the 0.3.2.6 (beta). I'm using the beta now, and I used the previous 0.3.2. Both work.
After this...the screen goes black (it's still on...I see light a bit of light on the phone). But typically I should see Clockworkmod recovery at that point...I am not.

Guys,
Go to this website and download elegos' rom manager. It actually works on the streak. When you hit the boot into recovery option just hold down on the volume up and down button at the same time and you can enter customer recovery of your choice without fastbooting. I flashed streakmod's customer recovery using fast boot and elegos's app gets to it without connecting to your computer. You can perform rom updates, backups, and installs with this app. Its very cool. Check it out
http://www.elegosproject.org/android-rom-updater
**EDIT** I have since found that I am able to boot into custom recovery without this app.... I still think this app is very cool if you supply some cool repo's...
Thank you, it may be the tool and push I needed to start flashing on Android.
I was a pro in WM. Well, all you had to do was to copy file over to SD and restart the phone in update mode...so I was a pro on it, flashing very regularly.
For some reason Android seems much more complicated to get my head around.
Thanks again for sharing the knowledge
you mean, you installed this and you're still booting into streakmod with the volume buttons, so if you reset the phone without running the apps and hold the volume buttons down you will still get to the same screen....
the great thing about clockwork is that it was meant to do it all for you. just pick the rom in the os and away you go!
If you have to reboot and hold volume up and down to go into recovery then its not a rom manager, just a tool for rebooting. I can do the same thing on my streak now with rom manager and clockwork. Rom manager should do everything for you once you select update rom without the need to go into the recovery menu yourself.

guys, clockword rom manager has never worked on the streak... when you click boot into recovery it just restarts the phone and does nothing... 95% of all other phones when you click the boot into recovery it just goes with no button pushing. On the streak the button pushing won't even work with rom manager/clockwork. With this rom manager the reboot into recovery option gets you into streakmod custom recovery with vol up and vol down... Previously, I had to fastboot command my way into custom recovery.
Have you guys been having luck with rom manager booting into recovery by using the vol up and vol down? doesn't work for me... even after flashing the so called fix in the streak development forum

never, i just have streakmod flashed and use the button method, have a reboot shortcut on my furthest screen. works for me.
Look at "StreakMod". It is a custom ClockworkMod that fits the Streak. The first time you flash StreakMod, you need a computer to do it.
But, from there, it is as simple as downloading the Rom to your SD card, then rebooting holding the volume buttons, select the Rom, and it does the rest. StreakDroid (aka DJ_Steve's custom ROM) has an additional step of letting you pick what options you want on your device by way of editing an "install.txt" file on your SD card, but you can probably do that without a computer, too, if you want.
Cool.. thanks. I will admit that I have apparently been doing something wrong. You guys rock
ok i think ive come to a conclusion that if i want to flash a regular rom like 351 i need to flash a amss file and a dsp1 file...before i flash the recovery and update....can someone conferm this???
also if thats the case is this something that should be done with 1.9
im having problems with both and my phone is now a paper weight please help me noone is helping me with any problems here!!
You're likely not getting answers because the information is in your instruction manual and on the forums. But, this should help you anyway.
To install 351, or for that matter, ANY official Dell ROM...
1. Download the 351 update package from here. Place said package on the root of the MicroSD card and rename to "update.pkg".
2. Shut down the phone.
3. Place the phone into recovery mode by holding both the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time while holding down the power button. Let go of the power button when the Dell logo appears.
4. If done properly, you should see a menu in white letters on a black background. This is recovery mode. In the menu that should appear there should be an option to flash an update package. Select this option using the volume up and down buttons to highlight your choice and the camera button to select. The Streak should automatically find the update package you put on the MicroSD in step 1 and install it. After that, it's a matter of patience and waiting for the process to finish.
If your recovery image is screwed up, search for multirecoveryflasher on the forums. From there you should be able to install a recovery image easily enough.

yes i am....
Ok, did you flash one of the stock recovery images, or one of the two that were modded (Streakmod and Clockworkmod)? I would restore one of the default images, whichever one was last on your phone, then do the update.
The fact you can get into fastboot means the phone isn't bricked, so that's good news.

also
when my phone is in data mode and i try and reboot it that causes alot of problems with loading idk why but that might help
Download the update.pkg and the recovery again. They may have been corrupted. Then pull all the data off your external SD Card and do a full format (FAT32) on it. Once the format is complete load the update.pkg to the phone and try again.
Si quieres leer este post en español, lo puse tambien aqui.
Well …….. Foremost, my English is not good. :silly:
I know that many users of Dell Venue has to upgrade to MIUI or CM7 version, because Dell doesn’t provide the upgrades for this device, but there are many complains for bothersome issues, for example the “MUTE” on the phone calls and recording on CM7 and MIUI is the worse issues ever.
…
Here I will to explain how revert back to froyo your Dell Venue. I spend many hours on it, because I am super newbie, even now there is steps unnecessaries for knowledgeable people.
This process can be the same for Stock Froyo or Stock Gingerbread (yeah, Gingerbread 2.3.3, TheManii uploaded 3 versions from Olleh on the XDA Wiki).
I recommend the Stock Froyo Thunder 325, because is the most recent Retail Version Froyo for Dell Venue and it has not issues with MMI codes from Occidentals Communications Companies. If you want another version you can Download from the XDA Wiki.
Files required:
Drivers for Dell Venue (ADB_Tethering_Driver.rar & DRIVERS_DELL_VENUE_-_R291096.rar)
Compatible Stock Recovery (recovery.img)
Froyo 2.2.2 (Thunder_325_17232_00.pkg)
MultiRecoveryFlasher.v.0.5.1.rar
Process:
1. Install the drivers to your PC, if you don’t have it of course and restart.
2. Put the Thunder_325_17232_00.pkg into your SD (the root directory of the sd, be sure to erase another pkg files or any extensions files, every file except the folders) and rename it to: “update.pkg” and turn off the phone.
3. Set your phone on Fastboot. (Turn off the phone, Move Ringer to Up position, press volume down and the power bottom at the same time, hold both until the dell logo disappear and only shows a white line in the middle of your phone that says “Entering fastboot MODE”).
4. Connect your phone to the PC and wait to windows configure the new drivers, when it finishes your phone will show a yellow on mode2.
5. Extract the "MultiRecoveryFlasher.v.0.5.1.rar" on the Desktop, open that folder and copy the compatible "recovery.img" and replace the recovery into one of the folders with recoveries, i suggest you to replace the one in the folder of clockworkmod, because is easier to remember where the recovery was put into.
6. Double click on “MultiRecoveryFlasher.bat” and it will shows a screen with many opcions to push recoveries into the phone.
7. Write CR or the number of the folder you replace the recovery.img on the step number 5, press enter, it shows a short advice text, push enter again.
8. When it finishes the phone will restarts. So press the enter twice and the screen will disappear.
9. When your phone restarts hold quickly the Volume+ and Volume- until the recovery screen appears (not necessary, but is easier than wait for it starts completely and turn off again).
10. Select “SW upgrade from update.pkg”, it will shows a screen with blue letter if you read the shorts instructions you will find out that only need to press the shutter of the camera to start to install the new rom.
11. Congratulations!! Your almost are in froyo, the process from here is automatic, when it finishes the phone will restart and in one minute or two your stock froyo its up.
-------
Ok, now you are into stock froyo only you need to root it again, but you will find out that the SuperOneclicks doesn’t works on your new rom. It apparently happens because Thunder 325 is a release newer than the OneClick method, anyway here the links and try:
DOWNLOAD SUPERONECLICKS
SuperOneClickv1.5.1-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClick_1.6.5__1_.rar
SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse.Drivers.rar
SuperOneClickv2.1-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv2.3.1-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip
**note, if you don’t get success from this method you will need to reinstall the PC drivers of your phone because sometimes these gets corrupted.
-------
Let’s ROOT!
Files:
ClockWorkMod_and_408_Recovery.rar
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Process:
1. Put the “Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip” into the root directory of your SD Card.
2. Put your phone into the fastboot (turn off, set the ringer on mute and press Volume down and the Power button at the same time until the wite line appears). Connect the phone to the PC.
3. Extract the “ClockWorkMod_and_408_Recovery.rar” folder on the desktop. Execute the “Install CWM.bat”, and press enter. It will push the CWM recovery to your phone and it will restarts. Press enter again and the screen will disappear.
4. Hold quickly the Volume + and Volume - until the recovery screen appears. Press the “SW upgrade from update.pkg” and you will go into CWM (clock work mod recovery).
5. Press volume + or – to navigate, if you want, "wipe data" and after "wipe cache partition", just in case. **Optional**
6. Now select “Install zip from Sdcard” and after “Choose zip from Sdcard”, with the volume + or – navigate to “Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip” is at the bottom sure.
7. Select it again from the secondary menu that will appears and here you go!
8. When it finish, back to the first menu and select “reboot system now”.
9. Congratulations your are Rooted!!
