ok so in a few hours im trading my beloved x10i for a dell streak 5, ive been putting custom roms and kernels etc for a while now,
how easy it is compared to the x10i to put on a custom rom etc, on the x10i its a case of putting the rom .zip file on your sd card , wiping data,cache, etc then flashing new rom, is it as simple as that? or harder? ive been trying to read a few threads on here but cant find the info i need,
the streak im getting is completely stock, currently on o2, not rooted or nothing
so is there any good tutorials around here (upto date ones) and what is the best rom and kernel to put on it
thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your help, looking forward to becoming a streak 5 owner!
The same procedure once you get a custom recovery on the Streak (use StreakMod, not ClockworkMod). You'll have to put the drivers on your computer so you can connect the Streak in Fastboot mode.
Look @ the Streak 5 wiki on XDA, its all there...

Nice choice on the Streak
Once your on a gingerbread baseband (flash via fastboot on pc) and have Streakmod recovery
Flashing roms is simple , in fact its the same.
DSC for example has a pre flash preparing pack.
This will flash amss and dp1 files needed for gingerbread, and streakmod recovery (like clockworkmod)
Then boot straight into recovery, choose update (this will take you to streakmod menu)
Flash rom like normal
Choose reboot
Back into recovery before booting and do a dell factory reset (not via streakmod)
Thats it, its very easy after a couple of go's.
Good luck

any links for this? ive been looking on the wiki but its like starting from scratch again lol
Get the dsc starter pack from the dsc rom thread in development section
See how to install pc driver in the wiki.
Put the rom zip onto memory card
Turn streak on with camera button held down and press fastboot.
Connect usb to streak and it should say fastboot mode (if not install pc driver)
Flash amss and dp1 and recovery using dsc pack (it does it all for you)
Hold down both volume buttons to enter dell recovery
Choose second option to enter streakmod
Flash zip and reboot with volume buttons held again to enter dell recovery
Choose factory reset in dell recovery and voila.
It sounds longwinded but is actually very easy. Just read the wiki and find a guide or two.
There are some good vids on youtube
Thanks m8 will have a better look tomorrow

Also there are a couple youtube videos you can look at that show the process. one is custom rom installing and the other is flashing the dsp ..
I can't post live links so cut n paste...
Custom ROM
youtube.com/watch?v=3izgMselF-k&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
and DSP flashing..
youtube.com/watch?v=a5DEsHHNEp0
This will at least show you what is involved.
Its not hard but there are things that can go wrong so best to read around...
well ive got streakdroid recovery installed, made a nandroid backup, but now not sure which is best rom to install, any ideas which is best?
I personally like DSC. Its in constant development with lots of updates and a team of developers. I haven't had a screen of death or a random reboot using it as provided. My only problems come when changing things that I know nothing about.
i have downloaded that , do install v0.6b first then reboot, then update 061 or do install 0.6b then 061 then reboot? im kinda confused, have been doing lots of reading though
0.60>reboot to recovery
Do a dell factory reset not streakmod one.
Let rom boot up and finish setup.
Flash 0.61 and clear cache, dalvik and fix permissions in streakmod.
Done.
Look at the first page in dsc thread for extra's and themes
OK well I took a chance and just installed o.6b then 061 straight after didnt wipe cache but I did do the factory reset, all seems fine everything working perfectly

I've flashed everything properly and I'm able to boot into streakmod immediately after flashing. However, upon rebooting the phone, going into recovery mode will not take me to streakmod. It will only take me to the stock Dell recovery page (where I can restore or press volume to power down).
Why does this only work immediately after flashboot and not afterwards?
Thanks in advance.
This is on 354 btw.

When you reboot the phone it's supposed to take you to the stock DELL recovery. You choose the option to install update.pkg and then when you see the DELL logo with a yellow exclamation point you press the power button again and it will take you to Streakmod.
Now, if you are using a stock ROM, then you have to use a file manager that gives you root access (such as Root Explorer) to your internal SD card and rename a file called "install-recovery.sh", located in \system\etc (can't remember exactly where it is) and rename it to install-recovery.sh.bak. Then flash Clockworkmod or Streakmod again and you should be good to go

Yeah, it works fine after rebooting through flashboot, but after that the streakmod page will not load up...it will simply take me back to the stock DELL recovery.
I'll try this fix though...thanks!
Stock roms overwrite the recovery after every boot. That's why is works once after flashing. You'll have to run a custom rom to maintain a coustom recovery. Sorry :-(

You do not have to run a custom rom to use a custom recovery. You do have to root your phone so that you can rename the file install-recovery.sh located in the folder /system/etc/ so that it does not run every time you boot your phone. I use stock 351 and the recovery-v0.3.2.7-DoctorWFix.zip version of StrekMod Recovery so I can make nandroid backups.The latest version of MultiRecovery Flasher will install this version.

Please read through this very thread... (not that there aren't hundreds more with the same info) and you will find a link to probably the one of the top guides out there for flashing the Streak...
I was sent a Fascinate as a Droid Incredible replacement. I was able to root it without a hitch but now my CWM can't mount anything. Won't mount anything can't bring up any logs. I am using the CM7 Clockwork and my phone is now bricked and I'm tired of using Odin to restore it and root it again then flash CWM and CM7, I lose all my games and free apps which I have to download again.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, are you using atlas.pit when odining to stock? After doing what does the phone stop working entirely (IE does the phone boot up CM7 and then brick, or can it not load CM7 at all)? Can you run stock without your phone breaking?

Yeah. I can work on stock just great.
What is the best rooting method to use if I plan on using CM7?
What I do is use Super One Click to root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682), then flash the custom CM7 CWM, and then flash CM7 in the custom recovery after wiping data, cache, and dalvik.
Use the CM7 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190668
Do I use the recovery in that thread? I've been using that one as well. I will re download the rom then.
Yes. Here are the exact steps from that thread after rooting with SuperOneClick:
Start with a rooted device (do not ask us how to do this).
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery attached to this post.
Download and push the ROM zip file to the sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Wipe Data! Seriously! Do it!
Install the ROM zip from sdcard
Install gapps package linked here (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps)
Alright. Let me try that again now. I just put the Nightly #8 on my SDCARD
Flashed it through the recovery, it's at the Samsung logo now. I am going to leave it there for a bit and see if that changes.
Yeah. It's stuck at the logo. I reboot into recovery and I get the log errors. That's 6 Odin resets today.
Make sure you use atlas.pit when restoring to stock. If you are following those directions exactly, all I can say at this point is to try another ROM (maybe MIUI or OMGB) and see if that works, unless another poster wants to take a stab at this.
Yeah, I'm using the atlas 2.2.pit
I had it working yesterday but only if I flashed the rom using the orange recovery through ROM Manager. I might try that again.

I think the nightly might be your problem?...my $.02...and there are a lot of extra steps but it works for me if I really can't get cm7 to load (I've done this more then once)
Odin eb01 with the atlas 2.2pit and reboot fully when odin is done.
Pull battery...Odin cwm 3/30 fix all..and when that's done, install battery and 3 finger salute into recovery....wipe everything and flash com rom 2.0 and reboot.
This is where you may have to try different recoveries, putting com rom on your phone gives you root, recovery and voodoo. So from here if your recovery doesn't properly flash cm7 you can simply pull the battery re odin a different recovery and try again, as long as you don't try to reboot the phone.
Make sure you are using the 7/17 build from, jt's pretty much official cm7 Thread, not the nightly. even if this is not what you want it should properly get you to mtd format, so another rom on an mtd build can just be flash the good old way.
I've had the cwm4.x.x.x work fine and then today it would not work after I flash a different kernel with out wiping anything...oops! I've had 3/30 fix all cwm give me the best results but even today would not work.
What did work was using the com rom recovery to flash times infinity's purple recovery zip...reboot recovery into the purple one, and then wipe everything and flash cm7 7/17...ugh finally! Once I was there just power button menu... reboot recovery to install gapps, and glitch. You could at this point wipe cache and dalvik and flash nightly if you wanted...hope some of this helps.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've had the same problem tryin to flash all mtd based roms...it always sticks at the samsung logo when I three finger back to recovery. I get the error logs aswell...**** sucks lol. That's odining ed05, fully boot, odin cwm 4 fix for cm7, boot recovery, wipe data,cache, dalvick, install rom.zip, all for a samsung logo and log error lol. So instead of spending 5hrs trying to flash a rom, I spent 10min and flashed power wash ed05, works great!
So how can I fix this?
My screen looks exactly like this and it doesn't give me a chance to flash cyanogenmod from the sd card.
I think my problem is similar to what is stated here: http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s-all-things-root/248433-stuck-install-default-apk-file-using-rom-manager-photo.html
Do I need a new kernel? Where would I find one of those..

From what I can tell your first problem is that your in 3e recovery. I would recommend odening back to 2.1 eclair then get root access and then flash CWM. this was the best method for me

First just boot it back up and go back to that screen you posted, then re-install the packages, might need to do it twice, if that doesn't work then do a fresh install of JFD again and follow the instructions listed below, you just haven't re-installed the packages yet to get your CWM recovery green screen yet!!
Do what he says, but untick the reboot in odin, so you will have manual control of that, REASON WHY is so you can use the 3E recovery menu to clear data/reset to factory and then wipe the cache, these two things alone if not done account for alot of locking or boot looping during first initial start after a fresh flash, and is the reason why the OP's suggest to always wipe and clear, so as to remove Ghosts from the prior SW and not corrupt the data, and or especially mess with the BLdr's
Also make sure to root the phone first after your fresh install of JFD, before you install Rom Manager, then flash CWM.
Also when you go to CWM recovery the first time to re-install packages, sometime you have to do it twice, and usaully the 2nd time will get you to your green menu , and then your in business to start the process of Modding with the flavors around here!!
hi, i am using a dell streak 5 installed with go launcher. i deletted some system file in root (dell launcher and sort). its all fine till i factory reseted it, now it can boot up but cant seems to go in to menu app and shows blank page when unlocked in lock screen.
and to make things worst, my dell has faulty port which cant detect charger and usb cable.
anyone know how i can flash an resume the stock os?
the set is currently on starhub stock.
i tried download a couple of rom and rename to upgrade.pkg but i keep getting error while trying to run them.. something like status 7..
please help. sorry.

There are more tutorials than I care to mention but basically:
Flash stock recovery
Flash amss and dsp1 files for gingerbread
Download olleh 407 package and rename it update.pkg
Boot into recovery and flash the illegal ROM
After flashing immediately boot into recovery again and do factory reset
First boot will take anwhile
Don't setup phone, let it sit for about 10 minutes
Reboot again
Flash streakmod recovery
Download zip for chosen ROM (DSC preferably)
No need to name it anything special, just know where to find it when flashing
Before flashing wipe cache and dalvik

Well then what you have to do is load the file (zip or package from Dell) wirelessly using something like wireless adb or some type of SMB app (Samba, Remote Web Desktop, there are plenty to choose from.. the fact the port is faulty has ZERO to do with booting into recovery. It only means you can't mount the file system for transfers. Once you have the file in storage then you flash it like anyone else

and dell streak boot up and got a black blank page cos i deleted some system files using root previously.. so i cant really use the phone to do anything at all..

PS: this is my current steps ->
1) i could not flash recovery mode because my charging port is not working/faulty
2) my dell streak 5cant longer put up to android menu, just remain blank after unlock screen cos i deletted some system files using root previously
3) i download almost all the stock .pkg on xdadevelopers and all is giving me error status 7
4) i tried custom rom, streakmui, simplestreak, djsteve, all cant be installed due to cant verify signature.
please help thanks

Well if you are getting a Status 7 error that means you are using custom recovery... not being able to verify signature means your zip file is corrupt or you are using Clockwork Mod instead of Streakmod I believe. If you are using Clockwork Mod well there's not much hope because you can't flash... but if its Streakmod then you need to download new zip files.
If the Streak will boot then adb push the new file to the sdcard. You don't even have to unlock the phone to do that

hi thanks for your help.
i did not flash recovery at all as i said, my usb port is faulty and i cant connect my phone to pc for any recovery or fastboot..
anyway i solved the problem by calling the streak using another phone (suprisingly, it rang)
i then can also go into sms to view them.. i texted the streak a link, open the link up, it prompted for wifi and i proceeded.
after going into the link, i then download go launcher from google and install.. and now its all solved.
i bet the fell i deletted is dell stock launcher from system.. so it could load the launcher and menu page.. so installing a custom launcher helps..
but the stock system is still down.. since i could use the phone already, i will try clockwork to flash a recovery thru my fone without usb connection and flash it again.

Basically never use clockwork mode to flash any kind of dell streak series because in my experience may cause a trouble in dell streak itself, better use streakmod v 3.2.8 you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5 I always use this one and look always fine till right now or use stock recovery, if you chose stock recover Install appropriate driver extracted from fastboot zip and then Connect phone pc with usb cable. :
1.Turn phone off
2.Hold down Power + Camera simultaneously until white menu appears
3.Press the Fastboot button in top right corner\
4.Finished
from the PC write this fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img after this your dell streak should be enter the streakmood 0.3.2.8 mode than flash the file room you want to...sori for my bad english

Did you manage to Flash recovery without usb ?
OK, so my plan is to Flash my USA Galaxy Player 5.0 with Entropy's Kernel and Chip v1.5 ROM, and I think I've got the general idea down (first time at this, so this is still new and scary):
1) Backup data (Already done)
2) Factory Reset to clear out everything
3) Use Odin3 v1.7 to Flash Entropy's Kernel
4) Use Odin3 v1.7 to Flash Chip v1.5
5) Enjoy newly improved Galaxy Player, and begin the re-install process for all my apps.
The questions I have that I cant seem to get straight:
1) In the How To Flash with Odin/Heimdall tutorial, it says to use the .tar file for the ROM/Kernel. On Entropy's Kernel page, it has downloads for a .tar from back in January of this year, and a .zip from March. It looks like the march one is the latest updates, but how do I use them/install from a zip? I notice the instructions directly above the install, but as far as I can tell, there isn't a way to use CWM for the Galaxy Player. My Player is rooted, should I just go with the 'Any rooted device' instructions, using the .zip? Will that work for a first time?
2) Chip's instructions recommend re-installing the kernel again after flashing his mod. Has anyone found this advice helpful? If so, should I try using Odin to do it or the terminal emulator?
3) I want to re-install Swype and some of the default stuff after installing Chip v1.5, thus Addon Pack 1 is needed. Again, it says flash with CWM, and it's a zip file...
That's all I can think of right now. I know I'm being overcautious, and after the first time or two I won't think hardly anything of these details I'm asking for, but for right now I'd really appreciate any help I can get!
the only thing i used odin (make sure youre in download mode of course) for was to flash entropys .tar file (DD_01142012.tar) which now lets you have cwm recovery on your device. and then i rebooted put entropys DD_03052012.zip onto my sdcard, and i also put chip1.5-1-signed.zip onto sdcard in same spot. then i rebooted into cwm mode by powering off and then holding power and vol+ button together till u see first samsung screen then let go of power button but not vol+button, when u see cwm menu then u can let go. then i scrolled down to 'install zip from sdcard' and click on it and goto the DD_03052012 first and install that, once thats finished, then i installed chips rom, and did entropys kernel again (just in case he says) then just reboot from the cwm menu. dont forget to make nand backup after you have chip installed just in case, or even make a nand backup before chip installation, or both its up to u, i did both just cuz. :highfive:
So everything looked like it was going good, then I got into a boot loop right after I installed Chip v1.5. I'm trying to go through the instructions to fix that now, but before that everything was nice and easy. Thanks for your help!
Did u do a wipe data and clear caches before chip? If u haven't then do it now and reinstall everyhing
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
For those who might be reading this in the future, to clear the boot loop I used the instructions here, which got my Player back to factory settings (it was more of a hassle to download the recovery ROM than it was to actually restore the Player). I re-tried installing, got boot looped again, then went to CWM ->Advanced ->Clear Delvik Cache . I remembered seeing this in the other instructions, I just mistook it for deleting the normal cache/data. Once I deleted it things worked fine, and things are looking good so far!
Moral of the story: Installing custom ROMs is easier than you think, although there are some little things that might trip you up for a little bit.

Whipe everything and dalwick cashe also..and then wait ,first boot is always longer because its formating cashe.
But if you dont have cwm and you want to flash some kernel which is in boot.img format packed in zip (i had few situations like that when i could not enter cwm ) since SGP dont have fastboot mode only way to flash it is try Odin ,download samsung note 2 tools (find it on xda ,there is thread for that) and with that tool you can convert .img to Tar ,just before conversion you rename boot.img in to zImage ..after it creates tar you can flash it with odin normaly ( add in pit section)

I'm fairly certain you flash .tar files with odin, and .zip files in clockworkmod recovery. If you need cwm, you can flash a custom kernel with it installed already through odin. Try terrasilent or steve's kernel if you have the 4.0, for the 5.0 I'm not sure.
