[Q] Heavy bricked - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks,
I have a little problem:
tried to update from Steve´s 1.9 to Ginger, works fine but with probs on WiFi.
Installed the baseband & DSP in 1 cmd-session, trying to reboot. Nothing after 15mins (black screen, all 3 LEDs on).
Since this, I cannot boot into clockwork or into fastboot. Nothing.
In the docking station: Nothing. No text, no LEDs.
Every help would be nice. Googled for some hours. (Win7x64, EU GER-Baseband, normally)

Hello!
I have an idea.
Absolutely without garance!
You can try to dissassembly Streak, remove and format inner TF card (two partitions Linux Ext3, first - 150MB, second - rest of partition area). After them you try switch on Streak. Recover probably will go on.
All data will be destroyed!
Sorry for my English...

Ok, no matter with data, all saved.
But my problem is: how to get into the system?
I´m a 40+ graduated SW-Eng, disassambled my 1st progs in the early 80´ths.
_How to connect_ with the device???
Anybody knows a "secret" option?
If I could connect to fastboot, I think, I can solve the prob.

[edit] inner? TF-card??? change the MSDHC...
update: also with a fresh formatted 16GB MSDHC the same.. no fastboot [/edit]

yes i did several times. it turns on after the hard reset, but after that when i reboot it doesnt start again. this started when i switched from cm7 to foliomod... any chance that might have been the cause? i really like folio mod and would prefer sticking to it! :s

i noticed the screen blinks a few times when rebooting. The "android" at the beginning for folio mod never shows up! :s
when i use the cm7, this problem is no longer there. i will try and use another rom. please some one help? !
Had something simillar to it...
this is my roms sequence
Official Toshiba rom - CM7 - FolioMod 1.4 - FolioBlur 1.2
After restart, screen goes black and blinks periodically and nothing happens....
What i did is did hardreset before & after installing FolioBlur
Problems seems gone - not sure if it helps

[Q] Permanent White Screen at Startup - help!

Hi All,
I've done a full search, but cannot find another thread on this - if I'm wrong then please accept my apologies!
Anyway - when I start my HD2 I get nothing - just a blank white screen. It's running stock WinMo 6.5, and nothing else.
My 1st thought - screen is borked. But no - hard reset and FlashRom screens are both fine. Tried a soft-reset, no joy. In desperation I tried a hard reset; the screen says complete - but computer says 'no'. Still the white screen of death!
To add insult to injury my micro USB port has stopped working and I have to use an external battery charger so there's no chance of being able to load a new ROM or anything.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks!

Well, apart from the SD card flashing method.....
Ah, didn't know about that method - how'd I miss it?!
Right - time to do some more forum searching...
I will report back!

[Q] I know, it's not bricked....

Right, so my i5503T (Australian) was having some wi-fi troubles. I looked it up, and it was suggested to me that I upgrade to Cyanogenmod 7 (for Galaxy 5). Anyway, I installed Clockworkmod, it was fine, then I hard reset the phone (through Clockworkmod) and from then on, when booting it got to the flashing samsung, and stayed there for over 3 hours. After that I turned it off. I did the stupid thing, and went ahead installing Cyanogenmod. Now, as soon as I turn it on, it says 'ANDROID' in small white text in the top-right corner of the screen, and won't go away, EVER. ANY help would be very much so, I got the phone as a gift for chistmas..... *facepalm*
Thanks.
EDIT: It was (natively?) running Froyo before I broke it, and I would like to get it back there, or better (Cyanogenmod).
I have a working Eclair rom (2.1), but I don't want to use it...
Are you able to get it into download mode at all?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Yea, I can get into download mode fine, but booting up, not so much.
Update: I used Check Fus Downloader to get firmware, had to use New Zealand as there was no actual Aussie model availible (???). Anyway, I flashed it with odin 4.28 (please tell me it is the right version!) and it is doing the same thing, with the flashing Samsung logo and all. Also, it vibrates once, then three times a few seconds later, then repeats every.... ummm, 30 secs?
Hey, I'm not an expert on this subject but I have messed around with my Galaxy 5 a lot, I broke it 4 times, but I'm guessing your problems could be fixed by;
Shove your device into Download Mode.
Use Odin to flash Clockwork Recovery.
It should now reboot into CW recovery.
Clear dalvik cache, cache and do a reset.
That might sort out any problems as my phone did this after my first flash but clearing the above sorted it out, if that doesn't work then do the same again but then; try flashing another rom onto your device, and see how it goes.
Somebody with more knowledge should correct my post if need be.

try removing your battery and let it out for few minutes, 2 min is enough, than insert the battery and reboot..
hope that solve your loop..
P.S.: did you do a wipe?
Could it have anything to do with the fact I have a i5503T, and that the ops is i5508?
OK, well it's fixed now, sorry for the trouble. It turned out I was missing one of the cyanogenmod files. Soooo, yeah I fell like a massive idiot, but everything turned out fine and well. Cyanogenmod is heaps better than Froyo, so I'm glad about that. Thanks all.

Boots to Woman on Video then shuts down

My NT used to work beautifully. It was rooted and was a great device. Then it started to randomly shutdown.
Now, after factory resets and just about everything else imaginable, it boots normally, gets to the woman on the video screen, then just shuts off. If I hold the power button only, it stays on but only for a few seconds as the power button, oddly enough keeping it on, shuts it down.
Also, the only way it turns on is to connect to PC via USB. Power button will not turn it on unless connected.
Any one have ANY ideas what could be the issue?
Thanks a ton!

Try Formating your external sdcard if any, make a wipe data factory reset. Leave it on CWM then Put it to charge full with original charger and USB cable. Leave it for 3-4 hours. After that unplug from power, reboot device in CWM and report back

Thanks. The problem is, when I boot to CWM, it flickers and will only stabilize by holding the power button in. I've tried several cards with fresh CWM and it always flickers and is nearly impossible to make a selection.

Hmmm that's odd. What model is your nook tablet 8 or 16 GB?

It's a 16GB model purchased 12/25/11. I've tried everything and have no idea what it could be. The CWM issue is really odd too. It's just a very fast flicker that won't let me select anything unless the power button is held down which then defeats the purpose since it'll shut down.
Also, if I ever am able to get it to do a data wipe through the flickering, I get a message as it goes through that states, "E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2"
Then it says "Data wipe complete" while still flickering and continues to do the same on any restart

Ok, tell me if at list when you boot into CWM (internal or sdcard) your device remains on and doesn't shutdown after few minutes. This is important in order to perform unbrick methods. Also let me know what unbrick method(s) have you tried so far, if any.

When I boot into CWM it will remain on the CWM screen flickering forever until I shut it down.
I have tried everything on the forum to unbrick, including the ubuntu method several time. The only one I haven't been able to try is the internal partition restore since the files don't exist any longer to try that method.
Hope this info leads to something. Thank you for your help. I've spent endless hours on this and am now just trying to get it working again to donate it to a charity in a working condition. I have a new Nexus 7 which blows this away regardless but would like to donate a functioning tablet to a kid who would really appreciate it.

OK i think the unbrick method you're referring is @soshite's thread? that is the one i was going to suggest you, so what you need to follow that tutorial is meghd00t's cwm recovery sdcard which you can find here (it already have the gdisk and sgdisk built in), the scripts.zip (not sure if those scripts are built in the cwm sdcard aswell) and the 16gb partition images.
All the tools mentioned above and more can be found in my FTP Nook Tablet folder so i recommend you to bookmark it.

No luck. The instructions make no sense. How can I get "to a terminal" when the NT turns off so quickly.
I'm afraid this it fried.
Frustrating since it boots to the stock woman in the video and just quits.
Maybe someone else wants to take a shot.
Make me an offer for this POS. My goal was to donate it to a children's charity here but it's useless in this state its in. Anyone want it?
Let me know. I have no more time to mess around with something that's about a year behind the latest technology now.
Thanks for all your help everyone but it's time to let this go.

The carton image is the recovery splash screen. But since it doesn't load recovery, something must be wrong.
You can try unbricking methods, but I think you should make sdcard bootable cwm recovery and flash a cyanogen mod Rom.
Look for guides, links, etc in development section.
