Hi guys,
So my friend recently tried to update his Streak. It appears he has one of the units with the faulty internal SD.
Before I found out about how common the problem was, I flashed several ROMS and recovery images with Fastboot. Even tried Gingerstreak 2.4.4 w/ new baseband files. Everything resulted in the Dell Streak logo hanging and flashing lights.
So now I am contemplating whether I should RMA it back to Dell (Still under 1 year warranty) or change the internal SD card myself. For those that have RMA'ed for this problem,
1. Do they replace it out with another unit or do they actually fix phone and send it back?
Also, how would I get it back to stock? I just gone done flashing it with the latest 360 (factory unlocked Streak) recovery image and update.pkg with Fastboot. Although, I did try install GingerStreak 2.4.4 earlier and that made me flash a new baseband. This was before I just flashed the 360 recovery image and pkg.
2. Will that be good enough to send back to Dell for an RMA or will I need to change the baseband files (amss.mbn and dsp1.mbn) as well?
Any help or input will gladly be appreciated. Thanks guys!
If you still have warranty coverage, I would send it back

Change it by yourself, isn't so hard
Send to service center, it is more safe than changing it yourself.
If it's got warranty, send it in. If not, it isn't hard to do yourself, and you can replace the internal card with a better one. I just had this problem the other week.

I was successful at getting it to 2.1 from 2.2.
However, i had issues getting it to the O2 1.6 rom, i ended up using clockwork and the .zip rom of 1.6 and it flashed successfully. However, upon boot i was stuck at the dell screen.
After this i tried all recovery images to get back to 2.1 or a workiing 1.6 install with no avail.
Now im stuck with out being able to do anything but flash recovery images, but cant install a update file because it isnt recognizing my SD card after removing it for some reason.... i tried multiple cards with no luck either.
Oh and to be clear, I am currently on the Build 4399 (rooted, intended for O2 devices) rom with the corresponding clockwork recovery installed. Can not access my SD card now tho.
This just happened to me! Toto modaco and download stock recovery Tom and flash it with fastboot and then you will be able to do why you want

You need the modded stock recovery

I used this to downgrade before a warranty repair, worked for me
Which 1.6 build is this used for, O2 1.6 or US 1.6 6601 build?

This recovery image is to used to get you from O2 2.1 build 8105 to O2 1.6 build 4399. It worked for me after several days trying various guides and suggestions on other threads and sites.
I used this recovery image to Flash ROM Streak_104_4399_21.pkg which can be found on other threads.

That modded recovery bricked my streak I'm tryin to get back to 1.6 everytime i run this recovery after downgrading to 2.1 from steves 2.2, I have tried several recoveries and nothing seems to work so stuck on 2.1 atm.
(oh btw I used QDL streakfash to unbrick I dunno if that helps anything.)
It may not be relevant, but I had huge instability with my ROMs for a while, random hard resets, force closes, ROMs not taking properly etc, failed flashes even with 1.6 etc.
Turned out I had one of the bad batches of Streaks with a bad internal MicroSD card. I sent it back to Dell, they replaced the card, and all was well again. Perfect stability etc.
You can confirm this on the diagnostics menu.

Have installed 1.4.6 and need to get back to 2.2 stock.
How do i do that using clockwork recovery?
Cannot find a proper image to use to update.pkg file
Check related threads... all information and instructions are there.
I tried am not able to install the 2.2 pkg file using clockwork recovery image.
Tried another stock image from another post but am getting a FOTA mismatch error. baseband 00 streak.

The update.pkg is the actual rom and flashes via the first recovery screen (option 2 then it installs) after you've flashed the stock.img.
Clockworkmod (option 2 then black screen with green writing) is for update.zip which are update files for custom roms (steves 2.2) for that you flash clockworkrecovery.img.
You will also need to downgrade the baseband back to 1.1.1 version.
Hope it makes more sense now?
Hi, i am unable to find the stock image to help install the dell 2.2 rom.
The ones i tried are give a blank screen when i select update from SD (option 2) hence the problem. Searched a lot and there are too many image files saying stock image but all give the same problem, one gave a fota mismatch.
The PDF put together by one of the members was very helpful updating.
Thanks for your help on this.

If I were you, I would...
Downgrade the baseband
Then just flash the dell 2.2 (factory reset before loading)
Need help with how to do that
Please let me know how to go about that.
Also wanted to have the stock recovery to cover any warranty related issues.

Glad you got it sorted... the stockrecovery.img is for flashing purposes only, doesn't affect warrenty. There is a thread somewhere on modaco you might want to bookmark just in case, restoring streak to factory condition to send back sort of wording.
Yes am happy it got sorted out..files are on STEVE'S WEBSITE too

I had Streakdroid 1.80.
Follow the directions above but only the last OC 1.6 to At&t 1.6
Make sure you have OEM recovery flashed. Streakmod etc wont work.
Put the 3 files on your current system. And the new rom on the SD.
Flash the boot.ing as instructed and then restart your current rom. After it finishes turn on development in the applications settings. Then reboot into recovery. Then install from update.apk this will install the new AT&T rom. If if fails flash boot.img again and repeat.
FYI: the new 340 does not look any different then the 318 or 170 for that matter.
DJ's roms are better and faster. But if OEM is your desire do this.
I'm on 2.2 318 and am trying to go back to stock 1.6 but after extracting all the system files to the sd, completing the steps for that and flashing the new boot.img- I can't get my Streak to boot fully into Android to apply the 1.6 update.... If I try to boot it sticks at the Dell logo, no animation, just the logo with all 3 soft keys lit. If I go into Recovery and try to apply the update, I get a signature verification failure error. I also tried a factory reset from Recovery but cannot get passed the logo.
I have done this a trillion times before without any issues. Why won't it cooperate now? I have one of the temperamental Streaks that only likes Official Stock ROMs. I get FCs and freezes out the whazoo on anything but so thats why I am going to Stock AT&T 1.6 and update to their 2.2...

Try using the repair tool that will put a 2.2 rom on it.
You don't have to go to stock 1.6. Just follow the instructions on your current system and it will let the new AT&T 2.2 install. I always to a factory reset before installing a new rom. That stops FCs for me.

Hi -
Could you be more specific on "OEM recovery"?
I have downgraded from 318 all the way back to US OEM 1.6 with BB of 31 which matches OEM version. Build number 6601. btw: I had to do a Nandroid flash to get it to 1.6.
It downloads the 340 update fine but gets hung up on the install process - stuck on logo.
Seems like I need to flash the right recovery but I always get a blank screen when I boot into recovery and choose update from SD card.
Can you link me to the right recovery file?
Thanks.

I do have a 2.2 rom installed already. I used the QDL tool to get it there so I shouldn't have to do it again... I tried updating to AT&T's new 2.2 yesterday from the 2.2 (318) I am currently on but it won't let me. I thought I had to go back down to 1.6 and get my update via notification but now my Streak wont get off the logo.
I hope this is making sense because from what you said, I don't think it does. Its hard to type what my problem is in a way that all can understand.
I am on Rogers and had the same problem. Was on 2.2 through QDL tool. I got an email from Rogers that their official 2.2 update was now available.
Downloaded the update, it wouldn't install.
Probably because baseband is different?
Anyway, did the same thing, tried downgrade back to O2's 1.6, then hopefully AT&T's 1.6, but got stuck after getting down to 2.1. Black screen during update.pkg, Dell logo only when just doing a normal boot.
Tried loading 1.6, 2.1 Rom's again to no avail.
Managed to get the phone working again using the QDL tool to get back to 2.2.
Tried doing the Rogers update again, but not working.
Help!

I can't get mine to boot normal unless I use the QDL tool to pull it out of the logo screen. If we already have a US Basdeband we shouldn't have to upgrade to O2 and back down again, right?
What do the people, like myself, do who are on the 2.2 318 via QDL Tool build to get the AT&T 2.2 rom released yesterday?? I am already on a US AT&T rom so what sense does it make to have to upgrade to an O2 rom and go back to AT&T (I am thinking out loud...).
I don't want Steve's ROM or anything else... my phone does not play well with those. I want the new official 2.2 released to AT&T locked Streaks.

I finally bought root Explorer from the market. If there is a free alternative that can change your /system file to r/w (read/write) I could not find one.
You [email protected]!!!!!!!!! (no other alternative, dont think you are smarter than anybodye else, is non-negotiable) to move the 3 files over into your /system file, because the update will not go through. It says there is a "device mismatch" (or something like that). I tried to short circuit all the processes at every step and was unable to beat the system.
Heres what ya gotta do:
1. Follow the part about downgrading to 1.6, then check for software update.
If you have upgraded to ANY other version of 2.2 ya gotta move the 3 files over.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...92&postcount=4
Finally I gotta say that it is not worth all the fuss really. You lose tethering and installing outside apps. You gain nothing.
This release is best for djSteve, because he can take all the good parts of this build and put into his next release of streakdroid.

The repair tool would not get it going.
I found streakflash I tried to get a link, I'll keep looking.
I launched steakflash.
I pulled the battery put battery and back on. As I plugged in the cable I held the UP volume button. Streakflash recognised it and I ran it through.
That got me back up. I forget what ROM it was. I then ran repair tool.
That puts 2.2 pre release.
If I can do it anyone can.

I am on the pre-release of 2.2 as of now but I want to downgrade to AT&T 1.6 and back to the new AT&T 2.2 rom but it wont cooperate with me.

It will not work!! I keep getting the status 7 error which then sends it to reboot but never gets pass the logo! The only way to get out of the logo is to pull the battery and use QDL to put me back at 318.
Whats the malfunction with this? I have always managed to update in the past. Why won't this one go through?
First off I did quick scan of this post so if I am repeating I apologize in advance. You MUST go back to AT&T 1.6 with no Streakmod or Clockwork need Dell recovery program. 340 does a scan as it loads and if finds you modified the Steak in anyway stops the install. I had to purchase Root Explorer to complete my conversion, only thing I can say is Root Explorer is worth the money, as for 340, if you are running Steve's ROM with no problems stay with it. Here is the link to the instructions I used, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8558692&postcount=4, good luck.

If you install the three files and flash the boot.img file to a 2.2 rom and have the new 340 apk as update.apk on the sd it will install. I have done it twice. Once from 1.7.0.and once from the pre release 2.2.
BUT it is not worth the trouble. 318 is a better stock rom.

I could not be more serious right now when I tell you mine would not work that way... I had to go from 318 2.2> O2 2.1> O2 1.6 and am FINALLY booting into AT&T 1.6 as I type. A lot of people have Streaks that aren't able to do as yours did, mine is one of them. I don't know if its because my Streak is an older one, I bought it in August, or what the deal is but I was not joking!
All is well though. I have finally gotten it back to Stock AT&T 1.6 with my original baseband of 31. Now I shall see if I can go to the new AT&T Froyo...

Hi. its my first post.
Been looking at the forums for a while to see if there is a fix for this but with no success. I have had my streak inside an otterbox cover which i removed, thinking it might be overheating that was causing it to lock up. It is a little better, but the prpblem persists.
Next i looked at a different software for it, downloaded update.pkg for loader 350, renamed it update.pkg on the micro sd card, and tried rebooting it. Unfortunately it didn't seem to work, instead giving me an error message saying status 7 error, assert failed. I'm unsure if new software would have fixed the freezing problem anyway, but its so annoying i thought i may as well try.
Has anyone else overcome this problem. I am a bit of a computer biff so please dumb it down for me

ok thanks i will try and find it. Did i patch it correctly though, just rename the loader file update.pkg and do a reboot when putting the sd card back in? I got as far as the assert message so dunno if i was doing it right. Had the loader file gone in properly i was going to take the sd card back out, load the main file onto it, call that update.pkg instead, put the sd card back into the phone and reboot again.
No, thats not a stock rom, you have to flash it using a custom rom, that will avoid your warrenty though

If you're attempting to install a custom ROM using the stock recovery it will never work. You need to root the Streak and replace the recovery with StreakMod recovery before flashing a custom ROM will work. Please look for the sticky thread in the Development forum titled "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it" and start reading the information given in the links on that thread. It will answer a lot of questions you may have, especially when it comes to rooting and custom recoveries.
My dell streak just went off a couple of days ago and got stuck on the dell logo when it restarted. Its been like that ever since. i tried factory reset a number of times but it still wouldn't work and the phone "passes" the sd/sim test. I've searched for solutions on the internet for a while now and NOTHING... i found out i could actually get it to work if i flashed a custom recovery img and matching ROM but... i cant use flashboot cos my USBport no longer works, although I can get into flashboot. And i also tried updating the ROM with a pkg i downloaded off the internet but i get a blank black screen when i choose the "update via sd card" option. Was just wondering if there was a way i could still flash a stock/custom img and ROM via the "update via sd card option" in recovery. (my phonez unrooted and its got a stock ROM atm). PLEASE HELLLPPPPPP!!!! (current OS version= GAUSB1A111231)
Change the size of the font used in your post. We can read perfectly well here.
You currently are running Android 1.6 and can install a 1.6 ROM to fix your bootloop, but upgrading will not be possible unless you fix the connector port. This is because the recovery and the ROM must have matching regions. To change the recovery requires fastboot, thus no port, no upgrade.
thanks but....

Similar answer to the OP. Get your connector port fixed or replaced if you expect to resurrect your Streak. You have a stock recovery as well as a really old version of Android according to the baseband. Custom ROMs cannot be installed using a stock recovery.
