I am trying to install DJ_Steve's 2.2.1 on my Dell streak using CWM. the phone has been rooted and I have the latest version of rom manager installed from the market place
Rom manager 4.3.3.0 clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7
however If i choose reboot into recovery the phone just reboots as normal, if i choose installed rom from SD card then select the zip and it asks the ROM preinstalation questions then i click ok and the phone reboots as normal.
phone is currently on 2.1 build 6941 which i think is an official one
Could someone please help me im obviously missing something here, Thanks
Yep, you are.
Neither Clockworkmod nor ROM Manager work properly, if at all on the Streak. Use Streakmod Recovery instead of Clockworkmod and don't install ROM Manager at all.
EDIT: In order to ensure Streakmod Recovery remains after a boot, you need to rename the file install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak. Otherwise the Streak will flash the stock recovery on boot.

So I flashed the latest bionix rom, and then a voodoo compatable kernel, and my phone started getting really screwy. I ODIN'd to stock, but I can't install packages or anything, or flash a new rom because my update.zip file was deleted.
What can I do? I've never had any issues with flashing on this phone, so I'm not good with troubleshooting.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Did you ODIN to JFD?
Just download the update.zip (its in my noob guide) and flash it from stock recovery
then flash CWR
You've made this very easy. Thank you.
I'm trying to flash the rom with CWM, but it wont reboot into recovery. When i hit "ok" to reboot, it just freezes up for a minute and then lets me select my rom again. I tried re-installing CWM but it still isn't working
Can you help explain where in the process you are?
I did what you said in the first place, and i was able to reinstall packages in stock recovery.
Now, I'm trying to flas a rom with rom manager, and it wont reboot into clockworkmod recovery.
Rom Manager > install rom from SD card > i select the rom, click okay to reboot.
Once i click okay, the screen freezes there for a moment, and the i see the screen where i select which rom i want to install. It never goes to reboot.
Hey guys, first post here
Had a streak fora bout a month now and it is currently on froyo 2.2 and baseband 319(the o2 locked version)
I have rooted it successfully I think! Using superonclick, found out I had to do a shell root first then a root. So superuser is in my apps and along with that I can use the SU command in terminal.
So I guess thats a successful root right?
Trying to put the new streakdroid on it and this is when I get problems.
I have rom manager app installed and use the flash clockworkmod recovery to streak by clicking it and picking dell streak.
All seems successful but when I try to boot into recovery clockwork, it gets SU permission but just restarts the phone :/
Even turning it off and turning it on while holding volume keys just enters a recovery that isn't clockwork at all
Anything that I am missing at all?
Thanks in advance!
See this thread.
If you want to install one of the Streakdroid ROMs you don't have to root first.
Install (flash) streakmod recovery
Use fastboot -i 0x413c reboot, while the phone restarts hold both volume buttons to get to streakmod (don't let the phone restart normally)
Wipe the cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
Install the version of streakdroid you want
There are some pictures in this thread that may help with using streakmod recovery.
I got it working in the end using clockworkmod.
Found out rom manager isn't so good for streak
Wel I got streakdroid installed and decided I didn't like it so flashed back a stock 2.1 ROM and updated to 2.2 on the dell site.
I rooted becuase I wanted to use titanium backup. I'm now going to setup a stock 2.2 nandroid backup then setup a streakdroid nandroid backup and switch between them until I like one more
Will that work?
All Questions and Problems regarding Streakdroid should be asked in the streakdroid Thread Thanks
Hello,
I rooted my phone with z4root, and then installed SuperUser and ROM Manager v4.2.1.0.
I flashed ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 (selecting Dell Streak version). When I try to "reboot into Recovery" (using ROM Manager), the phone will reboot to the startup screen, not to ClockworkMod Recovery screen. If I try to boot to recovery by holding the VOL + and -, it will reboot to the stock recovery screen.
I bought this Streak USED, and I think that the previous owner had flashed a 2.2 version on it before the official upgrade. Is there a way to reset this back to the original settings? I would like to use StreakDroid 2.0.0. Am I missing a critical step in the procedure? Thank you all for your help in advance.

Stop using rom manager, qdltool the phone, then try again. Rom manager has caused a lot of problems for a great deal of people I know.

You don't need to go back to the original settings if you plan on using a custom ROM, it's a waste of time....
You should've read through more threads and found out ROM Manager doesn't play well with the 5" Streak. Anyway, you need to look for the thread under Streak Android Development called Streakmod Recovery and download that recovery image...
Secondly you need to look for the "fastboot" folder download and get that on your computer so you can flash the Streakmod recovery image.
Thirdly you need to download the baseband you wanna use.... I think most have gone from the 318 baseband that was engineered to work for StreakDroid 1.9 to the 351 baseband and it's working for StreakDroid 2.0 also. (if you are just getting started I would personally suggest using StreakDroid 1.9 until DJ Steve has worked the kinks out of 2.0)
Aside from all I just told you you should look this link up to make sure you get all the correct drivers installed:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
This is also a very helpful BUT instead of using Clockwork Mod Recovery you will be using StreakMod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872214&highlight=flash+amss
Get this reading done and then start tinkering, it'll save you a lot of head ache.
I used to freak out when my Streak would take longer than normal to boot or all of a sudden reboot or something like that.... Now I've learned enough to where I'm not scared to tinker and do about anything to it because I've learned how to get it back

I don't think rom manager works with the streak
I keep trying to get in, but I'm always getting sent to the stock recovery... this is what i'm doing
first I installed root access... Update.zip is in the internal memory (if i put it on the SD card, when I click reinstall it says file isn't found . . . ?), Update.zip is still there (not sure if I was supposed to remove it)
1. Open Rommanager
2. Clck Flash Recovery ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Pick Vibrant (MTD)
4. Pick ClockworkMod 2.x
5. Click Reboot into Recovery
when I do this it brings me to the stock recovery, tried about 3-4 times now with no success
Question: Are you on the stock rom?
If so, you can select "Galaxy S Vibrant" in Rom Manager to flash CWM, then reboot to recovery. The MTD one I believe is for 2.3 roms that can't boot into CWM via 3 button combo.
first off u have root correct? u have to install packages twice first. Then u will end up in green recovery. Then from green recovery flash any rom. But if ur trying to flash cm, u wanna pick 3x not 2x.
Ur update package could be corrupt, get a new one.
nevermind, i figured it out, i just simply rooted it with CWM manually instead
I have a rooted TMo Vibrant running 2.1. I want to install a custom ROM and have the paid version of ROM mgr installed. I have downloaded the new ROM and I also have a (separate) zip of a different ROM on the SD card. The beginning steps of the installation go smoothly. But when I get to the point where ROM mgr says "Do you want to go into recovery mode to continue installation?" and I Select YES, the phone reboots into NORMAL mode and the installation ends. Same thing happens if I try to install manually from the SD card. I scroll down and select "install zip ...". Then the next screen that pops up has "reboot", " delete data", "reinstall packages", etc . I have tried all those options. But ultimately I end up back at the point where the only option I haven't chosen is "reboot system now". When I select reboot, the phone reboots in normal mode again. What am I doing wrong?
Not sure if this is your problem, but sounds like you need clockwork mod recovery update.zip on your phone.
Here is the trick though, when you get into normal recovery, sometimes you have to apply the cwm recovery update.zip TWICE to get into cwm recovery.
Boot up phone into stock recovery
apply the cwm recovery update.zip
phone reboots into stock recovery again
apply the cwm recovery update.zip again.
Hope that helps.
I would suggest doing this.
First and foremost make a nandroid backup, you can use cwm to do this. place a copy of the backup on your computer.
Backup your /efs folder which contains your nv_data.bin and imei information. You loose this you are f*cked.
Get the cwm recovery update.zip and put it on your internal sd root. If you have multiple update.zip files, just delete them all, just make sure the cwm recovery update.zip is there.
Also place the zip file of the rom onto your internal sd root also.
Disable voodoo lagfix if you have that installed.
Odin back to stock jfd 2.1. When finished next..
Apply cwm recovery update, apply TWICE to get into cwm recovery.
Then you can go into cwm recovery and select the zip of the rom you want to flash.
Follow all install directions of the ROM developer, they may want you to be on 2.2 first, which would mean odin to stock jfd 2.1, flash stock 2.2, then install whatever rom you are trying to.
That is how I do it.
I have a question about Clockwork recovery and this phone. Above you say that if any .zips are on internal sd to delete them and leave CWR on there only. I have this. Then if we want to go into the CWR we have to apply the update.zip twice. I do this also. Why can't we just replace the stock recovery with the Clockwork one and bypass the having to reinstall the packages twice. Maybe an sh init_hijack or something like that. I have been trying to find where the stock recovery "lives" to no avail. If you know where it is, then I can work on this and post the results.
Seems reasonable that if we replace the stock files with the CWR files and hijack the rocvery at boot it should work to boot right into CWR directly.

Well with MiUi and CM it goes directly into clockwork mod recovery. I guess that's the stock recovery on MiUi and CM.
For me, only on 2.1 and 2.2 roms did I have to apply cwm recovery.zip twice.

I have not used either for this phone but have with other phones and I think that it is b/c they reworked the services and framework.jars into an expanded power menu. I will see it that hack works on this one, so it will be easier on 2.1 and 2.2 for "relative" noobs. I have done it once for another phone and then my computer crashed (not issue related). I'll let you know what I find out this weekend b/c it'll take some time to get the pathways correct.
I appreciate you quick replies and have taken the first part of the advice and tried to backup everything (Which I thought I did using CWM). Just to be safe I have now installed Root Explorer and will back up everything this evening. Can't do more right now. Need to get back to work. Wayne
That did it. I now have my new ROM installed and a back-up of my efs file (which I mistakenly thought was included in my Nandroid back-up). BTW my nandroid, back-up produced by CWM doesn't include a boot image (or at least there is no image called "boot"). I thought there should be a boot image. In any case, I'm finally over the problem I've been trying for days to overcome. Thanks sooooo much. Wayne
