I can't boot into fastboot
,but somehow I got into my clockwork and factory reset
Re installed Streak Droid 2.0 but it Freezes at Streak Droid By DJ Steve
And NOw all of a sudden it Worked and is On But I Kno if I shut it off it's Gunna
Happen all over again...
Is there anything I can do now that the phone is on to insure this isn't Gunna
Happen again???

I would suggest you try to boot into fastboot and flash stock recovery and then flash stock 351 ROM.... AFTER it boots up then go back to fastboot and flash streakmod recovery and immediately boot into streakmod recovery.... instead of using StreakDroid 2 I would suggest you run 1.9.1 for better stability... once you flash it boot into recovery and do a FACTORY reset... not the one in Streakmod and then let it boot

How would I go about this
I need like a step by step
To everything you just said I get lost wen it
Comes to recoveries and fastboot
The only way I know how to get in fastboot
Is power and camera but that's not working
A tutorial would help out so much ... Sorry for the bother but thanks for the help
Really appreciate it
I need Download Links to Everything that I Need to Fix this Streak
I'm horrible at finding the stuff I need and sometimes I can never find it
And Drivers are a Pain in the Ass

[Q] Please help me

Hello,
I bought a dell streak from ebay yesterday running Streakdroid 1.61. Everything was working well when i received it, but I couldn't get access to market because the orignal owner's gmail account was linked to the device. I registered my gmail but it was still not giving me access. I decided to remove his account and the phone prompted that some apps were linked to it so i needed to factory reset.
Since then after flashing Streakdroid1.61 it showed unser clockworkmod recovery menu: E: CAN'T FIND MISC.
After searching I flashed Streakmod Recovery but no matter how many reflashes and reboots and resets phone gets into a continuous booting loop after getting to android logo screen. I feel like trying my hair out. Haven't been able touse my new phone and I have read and tried lots of solutions from here and modaco forum but no joy.
Please help me somebody.
Thanks
Why don't you start off with the QDL Tool and get to 2.2 v305, from there flash streakmod recovery, boot up, download 1.61 or what ever Rom you want. Then reboot and install from zip on SD card. that way you get it from scratch and not have to worry what the other user did to it.

Use the StreakMod recovery instead of clockwork. It's modified to work with the Streak.

Please post questions in the Q&A forum thanks
Moving to Q&A
sometime factory reset helps
( flash the recovery of the rom u want and then flash the rom)
Please do some reading. I have been typing the same reply for past many days !!!!
done that already doesnt work...ive been through 1.7.1 it was ok but still FC's 1.8.1 FC city. alot of restarts. 1.9.0 hangs up wit dell logo sometimes, freezes when data connection is turned on while restarting i have to restart 100 times....no real game play without freezing...i just wanna use this for games as well without the freezing....
I've just gone back to stock exactly because of these issues, I downloaded the QDL tool (guides and downloads here) and used this to flash 2.2 stock. It seems fine so far!
i tried the qdl tool and it puts 305 back on my streak but i cant update anyfurther past that what do u sudjest
Sure you can. Get the download for the 309 or 318 update package and load it on your streak's sd card named update.pkg then go into recovery and manually flash it.
Can't get into recovery menu for some reason

What happens when you hold both volume buttons down and power on the device while keeping the volume buttons held down? anything different than normal booting up? You can download the recovery files in the wiki and try manually flashing the recovery then manually flashing one of the stock roms.
If you used QDL to get to 305 you should be able to use the url for 318 to just download and install it:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A121100
Use that url in your android browser and go through the update. It will download build 318 which is the latest OTA update released from Dell for unlocked baseband (which if you used QDL you are now on)

the only other time ive had to flash a recovery was the first time i got my phone and the instructions stated to use the following command
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
so do i do it the same way? do i need to specify where in memory or can i take that part out?
That's the correct command to use. just like you typed it

Streakmod install issues
Hey I have a Dell Streak on ATT (unlocked) that I am trying to breath new life to its 2.2 Froyo operating system. I am trying to flash DJ Steves Gingerstreak 2.4.4. I found what I believe to be simple instructions once I have StreakMod installed on my Phone. Can anyone help me get this set up? The link in this post seems to be spam, some sort of video player.
I have loaded Streakmod on the computer, have been sucessful with CDL tool and the initial root from 1.6 to 2.2. But I have to do something till I can swing the new G-note
any detailed help on getting/installing Streakmod up and running would be great.
Thanks
Ramhvac,
Better skills searching would be of great aid to you.

Marvin, you are too kind
Ramhvcac,
At least you know to use StreakMod and not cwm/rom manager
Thank you, I was expecting to get some crap(Marvin), so I put on my big boy pants before I posted, But I have been so busy that my searches have been sporatic and not continous. I am hoping to have Gingerbread on my Streak this weekend.
again thank-you in advance, for your help.
BIG Trouble with GingerStreak update
Ok, I have flashed the amss and dsp1 files, installed the txt file, re-booted and went into streakmod recovery and loaded Gingerstreak 2.4.4. The phone booted up after 5+ minutes the update seems great except phone does not work.
I get the message"The process com.android.phone has stopped working unexpectedly. Please try again".
Any suggestions? the phone does not seem to reconize my sim card.

Did you do a factory reset?? (not in streakmod / clockwork)
Do it from dell recovery..
Not sure why people still install gingerstreak anymore. fards left and it seems support has stopped??
Thanks so much. I've tried it with my streak official rom 2.3 and done it without any problem. In my opiion,this is the easiest way to do.

Im new, having trouble flashing recovery

trying to flash clockwork recovery using the What you need to know about the Dell Streak PDF. Got into fastboot on the streak, got the C:\streak part fine but when I type fastboot it says "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external device" I changed the fastboot-windows to fastboot but it gives me that error code mentioned above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK. Cool, I just got clockwork installed using these directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754563 but when I go to make a backup or flash I just get a blank screen with the backlight on and the capacitive buttons will flash every so often. Any ideas? Im new at this. On my old CDMA Hero rommanager took care of all this.
I recommend that you use StreakMod recovery rather than CWM. It is customized for the Streak. There are some useful links in my signature.
You may need to press the power button after selecting the second option on the first screen to get to the rest of the CWM options.
Presssing the power button returns it to the clockwork menu. I have the streakmod recovery unzipped but haven't quite figured out how to flash it. This is my first time doing anything with fastbootn honestly I only got this streak to try to learn more of the fun side of android. I have a nexus s and a xoom wifi but since they're both running current versions I just wanted something to tinker with.

Basically, you need to fastboot your phone then use the recovery flasher to flash the streakmodrecovery, let it reboot and you will have the streakmodrecovery installed. As usual, to access the recovery, just power up yr phone and hold the vol+ and vol- until the recovery screen appears. Cheers

Why don't u flash recovery through adb, so the recovery will work and then you can install a Rom next...
You think you can walk me though it, im still a noob at this

You certainly can enter the boot loader ryt?
I actually own HTC incredible s so can't say much about it, nut then android OS works around the same way with bootloaders and recoveries, so hope I can get u some head start....
What exactly happens when you turn on the phone?
My ATRIX has wrote this without my consent!
Can you get into "Fastboot" mode? Wait.. are you just rooted or rooted and unlocked? If you are unlocked or even not unlocked and can get into RSD Mode, you could flash the Pudding 2.3.4 sbf. Or you could go to the "Fruit Cakes" thread, download the zip file extract the boot.img and system.img and flash them via fastboot...
The issue has been resolved...
It seemed that he could flash roms with sense 2.0 or 2.1 without any problems, but then he couldn't flash the 4ext recovery, as it did not seem to work, all it would do is give a blank screen, wherein the recovery would run but the text wasn't visible at all...
He first formatted his SD card...
Flashed 4extrecovery 2.1.0 final version. And it worked...
Next he flash VU 2.35 ROM. And power off the device after the flash from the recovery itself.
Went back into recovery again (keep in mind he hasn't started his phone, it actually ends up in boot loops) and flashed the unity v3 kernel.
Power off Tue device again and power on... Voila!!! It worked....
Some cpu's tend to be a little diff. than others. So some can bare the alterations made to their frequencies and voltage while others can't. Hope it goes well with all the IncS users....
EDIT: sorry posted this on the wrong thread... This is how another incredible s user had a problem like, so solved his one....
