Is this new or second hand? if new take it/send it back for replacement. If second hand did you know it was faulty when you bought it? if not same applies only this time get your money back.
If you knew it was faulty I'll leave others to help you sort it out if possible.

You've waited all this time and haven't bothered to look for the numerous threads that mention changing out the internal SD and you want the info spoonfed to you? Don't think it's gonna happen...
Really wish the same mod that mentioned where to put this thread takes some initiative and DELETES this thread

Damn dude I have bin looking on this forum for like 50 hours this week... done almost everything with this streak but cant find the right info about what difference the class of the internal sd makes so I ask.... dont just start talking like that...

Honestly a quick trip trip to Wikipedia's article on SD cards would have answered your question since it explains what the difference in classes are. Hell, even I didn't know the difference until I went and looked, since I received a 16GB class 4 to replace the 16 GB class 2 that comes standard with most Streaks.

Download mode doesnt work
It shows AT&T and keeps rebooting.. over and over. I have no idea if they will exchange it due to it being a t-mobile phone.
Maybe Try the jig
Not sure I know enough about the real issue other than you got the wrong rom. But, there is a jig you can make 301k resistor (or combo of a few to equal that number) soldered to a usb connector on # 4 & 5 pins look it up it will unbrick the phone and get you into the phone from there I not sure what you will need to do next but that would get you into the phone. Btw the resistors and usb cord less than 5 bucks good luck
Dude, you are being childish. I usually never flame but don't say you did because you didn't Enough. Slow down and take your time. If you are doing any kind of mods you should learn how to use Odin first, but unfortunately its always after the fact.
Learn how to use Odin, in the development bible I have a video there to show you how. Doesn't get any easier than that.

You are completely right. I was "trigger happy" you may say and I did it by rushing through it and ruined my phone. Luckily I have not yet sold my 3Gs and could use that until I get tmobile to exchange it.
The jig would most likely work for my case but I would need a step by step guide which unfortunately didn't find with images or video.
If I could just kill the AT&T boot logo it'd be perfect but sadly I can't.
I got the phone two days ago..so I am really sure I can get away with an exchange.
If you return the phone and it is booting with the At&t logo they will now you where messing with it and charge you the full amount of the phone which is around $400.
What you have is a soft brick. You can fix it if you bothered reading. Just follow this:

I wish mine was a soft brick but it isn't. That thread was for "phone ! PC" mine is a tmo vibrant that boot loops as AT&T captive since I flashed the wrong stock kernel.
Remove battery, SIM card and the external SD card.
Connect USB cord
Hold down both volume keys and insert the battery.
I love how everyone gives the same reply. The phone WAS FULLY BRICKED.
I took it to T-Mobile and said I did an update and this is what happened and they gave me a brand spanking new one! =D
Thanks for all your help though.

[Q] Fix a bricked streak (really bricked)

Ok so as I expected I've bricked one of my dell streak devices. The unit was having issues rebooting a few times a day while I was debugging my application using eclipse so I flashed 351 to see if it would help. Well my custom kernel (USB OTG mainly) wouldn't work with that so I flashed back to 318 and tried to flash only the 351 baseband well after that streak is completely bricked. No Dell Log, No Lights, No QDLTool. Some phones and devices have solder points that can be bridged to recover this kind of brick but havn't been able to find anything about that on the streak. Company doesn't want to buy a JTAG machine now but thinking of buying one on my own if I have to.

Have you found any solution. I have the same problem since couple of weeks.
Sadly no I'm about to buy a JTAG machine I think I spent the entire day studying one of our dead circuit boards and couldn't find anything.
I think the best thing and most easiest is to buy a broken screen streak on ebay (around $100-170) to swap the motherboard thing. That's what I did for my streak which wouldn't start at all since I flashed the wrong files!!!!! Jtag is really troublesome if one doesn't know a thing about soldering and it is expensive.
while that would work I'm a EE with very good soldering skills and many different android devices. This is the first i've ever bricked (luckily it was work's :lol but I'm sure as I keep doing lower level stuff it will be more common.
Call Dell & tell them that it won't come on & they'll exchange it if you are still under warranty.

[Q] is there any way to make my galaxy s i9000 to stop workin?

i had a galaxy s 3 months ago (as my bday gift) but then it ws confiscated by my father (dont ask d reason). Now he is using it. I got so fond of that phone dt whenever i see my dad using it i get aggitated that i want it back(its like someone else is dating my ex whom i loved so much and still do). Is there anyway that i cn brick or stop the calling features(this is more preferable) or anything which will malfunction the phone or anyway that i can get it back. I had read sumwer that galaxy is very difficult to brick.
P.s: no suggestions to break the phone!...anything that he wont come to know what i've done to it. He is not much of a techie.
Use titanium backup to freezes phone.apk contact.apk or anything about call.

lol funny story, but if you can manage to get the phone back for a few minutes install tektrak on it
https://market.android.com/developer?pub=TekTrak#?t=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDEsImNvbS50ZWt0cmFrbGl0ZSJd
and the multilock,
then login to tektrak on your pc after you have it setup on the phone and lock the phone with a pin,
maybe not exactally what your looking for but it might work
Throw it against the wall?
Edit: sorry only read the title, didn't read the post . It was such a good idea!
Thanx i'l try that
Sorry for such late reply

ReaL BiG ProbLem With my venue(Think SO !!)

Hi all,
This is what i did
First of ,
vibration button off + volume down + power button,
this takes you to a menu with 10-14 options, and here one option is sd download. and i selected it by mistake, and it said
HTML:
sd download start
read/write mount!!
and after this factry reset starts.
and now my venue is stuck at dell logo from last 2-3 hours.
I am scares that the sd it was talking about was internal sd. can anyone confirm that i have not did something wrong with that. pls right now my balls are in my throat. guyz help
The V has no innerSD unlike the S5.
Does it do the swirl or just stay at the static white logo?
I cant really offer much but a warning after the fact: never touch any of the menus in 'ringer-down' mode, this is exactly what might happen
You might have to ask dell for a replacement

Hello, have the same problem, but it works with some limitations. It does not show battery indication. You can write any rom and mobile will works. but now you can turn it on only with usb cable. Interesting what you hear in service center
SOLVED
Ok took venue to service center and now i am having Froyo 2.2.2 installed.
as they only re-installed the OS. and onething>> the software they were installing the OS was just looking very similar to QDL Tools (like the one for streak by djsteve @THeManii). and when i asked is that qdltools they just ignored that
What rom are they installing? venue pkgs arnt exactly super common

[Q] Motorola xt910 How do i access the phone with the screen disabled?

Hello guys im a long time lurker here, but this is my first time posting.. sadly for some reason my xt910 went down on me today, the screen cracked just by having it in my pants, and it seems the lcd is broken and the touch interface too.. im goint to take it to my provider for a warranty but since they most surely will wipe it off clean when they replace the screen, i wanted to backup my data.. notes, pictures etc.. i have everything saved in my phone memory ( the rest is on my sd, safe and sound).. the thing is... how do i access the data on my phone with the screen like that? i cant access through my PC because i cant unlock the screen..
any ideas? please help...
Try plugging it into your PC and see if the drive shows up. Should give you access. Sorry if you've already tried this.
Pardon my ignorance. I didn't read the last line.

Well i just came back from my Provider offices aaand... they will let me know in 7 days if and how theyll fix it and if i approve by then they will wipe all the info.. i tried to tell them not to.. but its useless, narrow minded people are all around here in Mexico..
So i have those 7 days to figure out a way.. and try to get everything back.. still from the estimate amount they told me i will have to pay (300 dlls) for the screen replacement i doubt i will go on with it.. for less than that i can get another high end phone.. and i guess ill wait until the screen replacement for this one drops to an affordable 100 dlls..
Ive seen in alibaba.com that they have it for 100 dlls now.. but im not sure.. have you guys ever tried using that site?
