Hi to all
1st. The phone make auto Factory Resets few time with the stock 2.2 Rom and now with StreakDroid GingerStreak 2.4
2nd problem is the phone reset few sec after the Dell logo shows .
I try factory reset and also to flash again the rom but still reset few sec after the Dell logo.
Can somebody help please
mine does resets constantly with stock 2.2 rom. Do you mean that since installing new rom it resets almost immediately? this has happened to me before - the ROM overclocked the cpu and thats the cause. If you can stay on long enough, get setcpu from market and revertto 998 mhz
After installed the new rom I use it one day without any problems.Today it reset again,so i read that it could be fix with putting some card or something at the back so the battery can have better "connection"..it start to reset after Dell Logo with a card next to the battery..i remove it but still the same
when i go to Fastboot after that *#301# and then test SD and Sim
I have this on Internal SD:
SD card error!!
cmd/data test: pass
permanet write -protection
Your internal MicroSD card has apparently gone belly up (died), which means you have to get a hold of Dell and see if they will replace it.

use the proven process of elimination, have you installed something recently?
a Manila Mod, or tweak? I hope you have a backup of everything essential
on your device, as it may that you need to HR
maybe its only a dead sd card..
take out sdcard, sim card and battery for a few minutes and reinsert only the battery and try to boot up...
if this doesnt work, you'll need an hard reset..
so i kept resttiing until it booted up. then i saw these posts and decided to restart the phone and it doesnt work again. so i reset again an pressed the talk button then it went to the launching sense screen. me being a gambler i reset it again and it stalled again until i hit the talk button. now i reset it a couple of more times and its back to loading normal on its own. im only stating everything i did just in case someone else might come across this problem at some time. thanks for you guys quick response and help
Try a full reinstall using the flashaholic app that does a full OS ROM format, also backup any files on the SD card and reformat that too and see what happens.
I should add that the full "task 29" format thing probably wont work well unless you have HSPL installed (otherwise you have to first install a stock ROM, then SSPL install your custom ROM; kind of defeats the point of the full format!)
Ok so i'm trying to figure out whats wrong.
I got my G- Tablet, got clockwork running with no issues, installed Cyanogen 7 build 38 (which was available at the time) and installed gapps.
Everything was running perfect.
Today I got an SD card in the mail for it and I popped it in, booted up, and now its stuck in the Cyanogen boot animation screen. I've rebooted several times, removed the sd all together (at the time it had nothing on it), loaded the latest build along with cyanogen 6 beta 4 etc and i'm always stuck at the boot animation.
I've done factory resets, and wiped cache, and even tried to wipe the Dalvik cache.
I'm at a total loss, does anyone know what I can do?
You know what I have found. with the CM7 boot. When I first installed it with no apps it would take 3 to 4 arrow passes around the android to get to the home screen about 4 seconds. But after I installed all my apps the time went up a lot. After about 30 passes I stopped counting and it takes several minutes to boot up.
worst comes to worst you can always use nvflash to go back to stock and start over again
Well....i thought that maybe that was the issue....that ill just let it loop its way to death and see what happens when i walk away for 5 minutes but I found the tablet turned itself off :-/
Hows this nvthing work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
that has a very good step by step guide on what needs to be done. Just an FYI that will put you on stock rom and I think the OTA update is down right now, so you might not be able to update to 3588 till OTA comes back up.
wow excellent, thank you so much for the info.
I will give this a try, and report back my findings
ok, so I tried this nvflash thing and it ran successfully. I let it reboot....and now instead of the cyanogen flash animation i get the g tablet animation loop.
For some reason this thing is getting stuck at the boot animations...is there something I can do within clockwork to format something...???
Wiping Cache and Data usually clears up looping at the animation for me. If that doesn't help then repartition.
SOLVED. Ok so I did some reading on the topic, it turns out that the tablet needs to have the sd card partitioned a certain way in order to get everything running again. The link at the bottom has all the information if your g tablet doesn't get past the splash screen and your stuck in a boot loop.

So I upgraded my Dell Streak to StreakDroid some time ago and had been updating along the way as new versions came out. At around 1.9.0 my streak started crashing every which way. So I reverted back to the old version - no luck. Then I reflashed 1.9 still no go. My streak now crashes basically whenever I try do anything useful with it. Whenever I open Maps, Market, browse a page with any pictures, watch a video, or even think about using flash my streak freezes up and then capacitive buttons flash a few times and the Streak reboots. Often times it hangs at it the Dell Logo and reboots a few times before being able to get back into android. Sometimes it never even makes it back to android and I have to pull the battery.
I recently tried Farad's Ginger Streak, it was stable for a while but now has the exact same problem! (Yes I did the amss, dsp, gps flash)
I have run all of the Engineering tests in the Fastboot mode ( I was convinced it was the internal SD card for a while) but they all turn out fine.
Something interesting: Whenever I boot into fastboot mode it says TE Failed and something else in red then it looks like it tries again and finally gets to the "Wait for SD Detect" until finally booting to fastboot mode.
I am at end of my nerves at this point! I can only use my phone as a phone! Everything else crashes it! Please Help.
Thank You.

Did you try the 2.3.3 Gingerbread ROM?
If nothing works then the internal SD card (2GB one) maybe faulty.
He mentioned testing the internal SD and that it reported no problems.
To the OP, has this occurred on stock ROMs as well?
I am currently running farad's 2.3.3 ginger rom.
As for the stock ROM I don't remember having the problem back in the day of stock 1.6 from dell but that was a looong time ago...
I was trying to go back to complete stock..but any instructions I find seem to be a bit shaky I tried just flashing the stock rom through streakmod recovery but it never booted(didn't really expect it to since I had to flash a new amss and dsp to get 2.3.3). I was thinking about going QDL but that doesn't flash the 1.6 if I remember correctly. I kind've want to send it in for warranty but I need to get it back to stock for that.
Thanks for taking intrest and helping.
Install the current version of your carrier's ROM on the Streak and try that rather than going all the way back to 1.6. This will allow for the following:
1. The recovery image, the baseband, and the software are all the same version.
2. Eliminates hardware as the source of your difficulties.
If the Streak functions properly under the carrier firmware you install, then you can safely eliminate hardware as the source of your problem, which means the software is the culprit. In that case, install Fards' ROM again and test it. It is possible that your Streak had a bad flash when putting GingerStreak on it.
I believe the directions given on the Dell Streak Flashing Guide on the Wiki might be helpful.
Did he factory reset at any time inbetween all those flashes?
Flashing rom after rom wont fix anything if it's the data that's the issue, custom roms dont wipe data as a general rule (they can, it's simply not scripted to on install as it's usually not required for updating the same rom but to a new version).
I didn't even think to ask that of him. Putting a stock ROM on the device does wipe everything though, so wouldn't he be at the same end point that a factory reset would be at?
A stock update will, but reading his posts i'm unsure he actually managed to get any stock update to complete as he was likely doing it wrong
If I had a penny for every time I factory reset my phone....
I can't tell you how many times I factory reset my phone between rom flashes but it didn't help any. I tried both the factory reset from the "black and white" and from within StreakMod. I have cleared the Dalvik Cache and the batter stats and the entire cache partition. I have run fix permissions out the wazoo. And it never really helped any.
Anyway I just installed the latest stock AT&T Rom (unfortunately they are only at 2.2.2) as suggested by Strephon (thanks for the wiki link by the way that place is amazing! How is it I never ran across it in all my time with the streak...)
The phone seems ok...but so did all the other ROMs when I first installed them. Any ideas on how to "stress test" the device short of installing stuff from market and trying to do everything?
Thanks for all this help by the way you guys are being awesome.
Well nevermind...that didn't take long at all. It is giving me the same problems as before. It is freezing, flashing LEDs and rebooting a few times. It made it into android for a sec while it said "checking SD card for integrity" in the status bar then rebooted again and finally booted into android.
If you're having this problem even with a stock ROM, I believe you have a hardware related problem, and that it was simply coincidence that it happened shortly after upgrading to custom ROMs.

If its not under warranty, I would look on these forums for a disassembly guide and replace the internal sd card. I replaced mine with a 4 gig just for the heck of it.
Alright I guess I will I call Dell tomorrow and see if I can't get it fixed/replaced.
According to the warranty site I should still be under warranty.
I'll post back once I contact dell. Thanks for helping out so much!
Success
Called Dell and they next-dayed me a new streak. Runs just fine. I guess it was a hardware problem after all.
Now Last time I upgraded my streak from stock I had to go through a whole bunch of hoops (QDL, then some intermediate stock roms then streakmod and finally DJ_Steve)
Is this still the recommended path to 2.3.3 or has a better way come around since?
I've had my streak for just over a year now so it's sadly out of warranty. The problem I have is out of the blue random apps will fail to work when you start them, then if I reboot the phone it resets itself and on restart loads up as if it's a brand new phone but with setup process error meaning I have to reflash as a reboot or factory reset doesn't fix. Once I've set it all up again after a few days the same thing will happen, it used to do it about once a month for 2-3 months but now it's doing it almost every other day.
I'm scared of turning my phone off as on reboot it resets itself or comes out with errors and reformats itself. I've done numerous factory resets, reset cache, completely wiped the external sd card and checked the internal card in engineering mode but nothing I do seems to fix it.
Any suggestions or will I have to hold out till June when I can get a new phone?
Also I'm running the power rom evergreen edition, it has done the same on gingerstreak as well.
al these symptoms seem to point in the direction of a corrupt inner SD card , i expierenced these problems as well , and as soon as i replaced the inner SD , they dissapeared
Might give that a try then, was it easy to replace?
pretty much all the information you need will be discussed in this video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w4AbtIGp8A
i have not done it myself but the dude over at the phone repair shop said it really was just swap work
I had a similar sort of situation when I flashed a ROM some months ago.
I think it was in the setup of the ROM as something went a bit awry in the reboot.
The way I seem to remember resolving it was by taking it right back to stock 2.1 and starting afresh again wiping caches and factory resetting the whole way back to 2.3.

Well I got myself a kingston 4gb class 10 card and cut away a hole in the back to replace the standard card. It's been 2 days now and I've not had a single problem so it looks like it has worked thank god!
I have had this device for a few months, bought it used in great shape. My daughter uses it and I fear she added something that is now causing the issues. The phone will shut off and begin boot looping, sometimes making it to the Verizon screen most of the time it doesn't. Eventually it will boot, sometimes it stays up a while, other times you can barely unlock before it reboots again.
Here are the steps I have tried.
1. Performed a factory reset
2. Performed another factory reset
3. Pulled the Sim and SD card, formatted the SD card and wiped it as well during another reset.
It is now in safe mode and has been on for a while. I looked around trying to find a factory 4.4.2 rom so I could reload it.
Is there something I am missing? Seems like a system file must be corrupt.
I'm on one trying to find custom Rom i have factory settings saved send me an email I'll send info
