[Q] Flashing Side Effect? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any side effect if flashing stock rom with Streakmod recovery image?
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk

To answer your question: no. However, did you read the StreakMod Recovery thread in development in its entirety? If not, you should have since you would have answered your own question by doing so. Further you would have learned how to ensure StreakMod Recovery stays on the Streak.

Thx dude.

There some side effect if you do that buddy.
Something happen with your screen.
There couples of spot when you on fastboot menu and recovery menu.
And show some colour gradient which never happen before.
I think it's better flash stock rom with it stock recovery image.

Then the problem is with your hardware. I along with many others have had Streakmod on our Streaks for months now and have never encountered such graphic abnormalities.

Streakdroid 1.9 crashing

I have installed streakdroid 1.9 to my streak and it is crashing to the boot when dj steve blinking under streakdroid logo. Any idea ? What may i have done wrong during the flashing ?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Can you give more information please? Does it crash at boot without actually going into the lock screen? Does it go into an endless loop?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Hold the volume up & volume down buttons while powering up, select factory reset from menu options. This typically sorts most issues.
Using the method mentioned above, wipe (using the default recovery) and reinstall the rom by selecting the pkg from the recovery. It should now work fine.
The wipe options on the streakmod/clockwork recovery do not work

Streak frozen on Dell logo.. after fully booting?

Hey,
I just got my phone out to see that it was stuck on the Dell boot logo and required a battery pull to fix it.
Strangely, 5 min before I was writing an email and the gmail app crashed.. but it was still on and running fine.
It's stock 118 and rooted.
Any ideas?
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
Do you have any particular reason to still be on 118? (as in build 8116 correct?)
Would it be possible for you to make a nandroid of 118? I have never seen one of that version.
Apologies, I meant 318!
And the reason is because I've just got it the way I want it.. although I am being pestered to update to 351 by my Streak.
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
In addition, recently I've tapped the power button to bring it out of sleep and nothing has happened. If I continue to tap, it will bring up a frozeb screen I can't do anything with and requires a battery pull to get it back up.
What's going on with this? It's been so stable for so long...
Help please.

Come on guys, of the hundreds of you on the forum, someone can surely offer some advice....

This is a broad problem and there are dozens of threads with fixes. I spent days researching the same problem and you should ad well. What worked for me in the end was Streakdroid 1.9.0.
Reset the device to factory settings and try different roms.
Sent from StreakZilla using XDA app.
What I don't understand is why it's only just started happening?
Surely if it was a board problem it should have been happening at least since the update to 318?
If you could link some for me, I'd appreciate it, I've searched on "Freeze" "Power button" but aren't finding anything.
Again, my apologies but nothing I try in the search box finds ANYTHING remotely similar to my issue.
Factory reset. Have you tried that? If that doesn't do it. You need to reflash.
Sent from StreakZilla using XDA app.
I have the same problem as you right now.
I spent two days trying to fix this but failed,
there are so many ways you can try to fix, but i don't know if you have enought knowledge to do it.
1. using dell recovery to do the factory rest, if the problem exists,
2. flash other roms, if the problem exists,
3. using stread Mod recovery to wipe out the cache and user data, if the problems exists,
4. flashing the custom rom Streakdroid 1.90, if the problem exists,
5. redo No.1, and 3, if the problem exists,
6. do the QDL method, if the problem exists
you are at the same stage as me right now, and I am thinking it might be the internal SD card failure problem.

4. using QDL method
If it's a board problem, how would a factory reset fix it?
Is it fact that the board is faulty, or is it just assumed along with possible issues with the internal memory card?
Thanks

After two days of harding working,
I finally get my phone working again.
If QDL can not solve stuck at logo problem, try run internal SD card test, it is more likely the internal SD card is failure, just replace it with a new one should work.
Isn't that a bit easier said than done?
Requires taking most of the device apart, doesn't it?

[q] all developers plz read

Hi people
The support for the streak is crap. not enough people chipping in on making it as good as it can be. im in the middle of trying to port over themes to the streak so we can all have a better looking experiance. but for some reason after flashing nothing apears to show. even when editing the res of the original rom package and installing the rom again the changed pngs dont show up? the strangest thing is the one i deleted are showing up? dj_steve hasnt been online and im impatiant so is there anyone else who may have a answer to this
I would like to see Streakmod Recovery working properly without having to jump through hoops just to get a nandroid backup to work.
Why dont you just install other one lol

He is referring to bb 347 btw... so your post means nothing to him.
Ok, here's an overview of things for those unwilling to read the Streakmod Recovery thread.
I upgraded from 347 to 351 without a hitch. This includes the baseband. Streakmod Recovery hangs at fastboot but is otherwise functional. This is apparently a common issue with Streakmod, and one the developer I believe is unlikely to fix.
Clockworkmod's menu screen appears if you have the right version, but you cannot select anything. Clockworkmod force closes and reboots the phone. Other versions result in a black screen, requiring you to pull the battery to restart the phone.
The only solution given was to essentially put Streakdroid on the phone and then flash over that with 351. That's not a solution, but a workaround. Not acceptable either because as I made clear to the person who proposed this solution, I shouldn't be required to put something I don't want on my phone to get something I do want.
Any questions?

How to get started?

Alright guys, hey.
I am currently using an official stock ROM 2.2.2. I don't have any recoveries and stuff on it, it's just like the one you get when you buy it. So I'm just asking if you guys could help me out on a way to go on a Streakdroid 1.9.0
Also; I'm quite skeptical of upgrading/flashing my phone cuz I don't want it bricked. If you need any more info, just say it
You can get streakdroid installed for sure. However u need to do a lot of reading about installing streak recoveries, fastboot and so on.
There are some really good guides around here.
However there is always a chance u can brick.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Alright, after going through all the readings, I successfully managed to install Streakdroid on my Dell. However, it feels quite the same as the official ROM.
Also, what are the differences between Cyanogen mod and Streakdroid?
Thanks!
Unfortunately there are not many developers working on streak. This is the best we have got.
This may sound like a dumb question. Do you have 1.9.0 installed or just the streakmod recovery?

I firstly installed Streakmod Recovery ( I used MultiRecovery, you just start the program on the computer and choose which recovery you want, install instructions are there ) and then installed Streakmod 1.9.0 using the Streakmod Recovery and flashing the .zip file on my SD card. It's that simple actually. The first boot took a little time to load, I was getting panicked, and then it started to boot up. It's a lot faster then the stock rom.
Ok sounds like you are there.
You will notice all the crapware is gone.
You should notice things are a bit smoother.
Also you are now rooted.

[Q] Atrix will only boot if Honeyatrix is installed

(SOLVED) hello neighbors. I am having an issue... my atrix will only boot if i install honey atrix on it. i have tried many other roms. many different times. i have wiped all data cache partitions, dalvik, battery stats, formatted system, dat, cache. And still i can get nothing to boot besides Honeyatrix rom.
it seems to load them from the zip file ok just wont boot past the unlock dual core screen. i have let it set for 10-20 min to see if it will boot and nothing.
i had recieved this under warranty and it was shipped with the new 2.3.6. 4.5.91 and i rooted and unlocked using the unlock tool v.4.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance,
SErooted
Try a full wipe with fastboot before flashing. Also may need to flash appropriate kernel. What ROM's have you tried?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
ive tried cherry pie, algorythm, cm7, neutrino, miui many of them, and i have never had this problem with my other atrix. just this one doesnt seem to be want todo anything but this one rom. and i have done a full wipe in moto fastboot as well. i forgot to mention it earlier.

Which recovery are you using?
Maybe install it again or try another one, perhaps its not installing properly
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
i have used cwm and tefnars recovery. i have installed each rom several times and still no change. it will only boot into honey atrix rom. i am really wanting to put miui back on and i have checked the latest by stevend25 ( sorry if spelled wrong) and i can go through the set up process but upon reboot, it wont boot past the startup screen.:-(
Damn replacement device!!!
Seriously people>>>> not one of you has insight on what the problem may be? i am not new to this phone or modding it and this is the first time ive ever had a problem and the community cant help?

Since it was almost 2 weeks between the last post trying to help you and your posts yesterday it's pretty safe to say everyone thought you had solved your problem and moved on. After this latest post, it's probably also safe to say you won't receive any more help.

your recovery is the problem install rom manager from market and update cwm or try romracer recovery.
Could also be the baseband radio. If that doesn't fix, looks like its time for the dreaded sbf.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I would also use the latest romracer recovery or twrp from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400641. Also be sure to use appropriate kernel for the rom you are flashing and try the stock clocked kernels first. Good luck.

hmmmm I wondering on this one if his internal might be mal-partitioned.. I had this problem and was cured using mini tool partition wizard. Start off by making sure all's formatted fat 32 primary. Once you're assured of that, format again, fastboot - w and reinstall something like neutrino. Twice for good measure. Boot it , wait 60 seconds, pull battery and reboot. Lemme know bro if that helped..

i had wondered if this was the problem but i have tried cwm from market and tefnars recovery and had the same issue with both.
Thank you for your ionsight into this. it really has been bothering me.
ok everyone.... thank you all for your help in getting the matter resolved. it was an issue with recovery and i am now running with twrp instead of cwm or tefnar. miui is now running and am going to see what kinda fun i can have with it. Thanks again everyone!!!
