[Q]help please: yet another Bricked Streak - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
yes, I have done a lot of reading of unbricking tutorials and threads, including this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982906&highlight=bricked&page=2
Unfortunately, the solutions that work for others, did not work for me.
I bought used Streak off Ebay, The seller stated that the Streak was flashed with custom 2.4.4 version. Upon receive I switched it on, the Streak booted up, then suddenly rebooted in, like 10 seconds. After that, it stuck at Dell logo.
Since it has the custom recovery ClockworkMod v2.5.0.1, I downloaded some custom ROMs and tried to flash them. I was able to get to recovery mode and install the ROM stored on the CD card. After rebooting the device, it never booted up completely. It just freeze on StreakDroid logo, when I installed StreakDroid 2.0, or just rebooting in a loop with "resetting factory defaults. please wait" sign when I flashed ver.2.4.4
Well, I decided to go ahead and to install the factory recovery and stock ROM.
No luck! (I guess, that's important point): I can't get to fastboot mode by pressing [camera]+[power] buttons. The white screen does not come up (as it should, I believe), the screen and buttons remain dark.
Next, I tried the Streakflash.It has done it's job with a green background screen,
and messaged something like this:
Code:
blahblahblah
#Download backup FSBL success
#Download backup OSBL success
#Download backup DT success
#Download backup APPSBL success
Erase EFS2 success
Wait for rebooting ....... ok
Wait for modem set up ......
Download success - 2011/11/25 10:25:16
Elapsed Time: 82.69 sec
After that, instead of switching to fastboot mode, the device just turns off and I just can see the battery charge indicator for about 5 seconds.
Afterwards, I tried the QDLTool (which I believe is extended version of the StreakFlash)
This one returned the timeout error:
Code:
Wait for rebooting ....... ok
Wait for modem set up ......
Wait for ADB device .........
ERROR[D2]: wait ADB fastboot mode timeout!
Please check that device is exist and driver is properly installed.
I double checked that the Dell R288920 drivers were installed, and tried it on different PCs and different USB ports.
Another reason it's NOT a driver issue is that the Streak can't get into fastboot mode aside of PC, by pressing [camera]+[power] buttons
After all, the Streak is "attempting" to load the OS, if I disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes or longer. But it never completed the boot-up process, freezing halfway.
Will much appreciate if any of you guys can point me to a right direction, how possibly can I get my streak back to life.
Thanks.
PS. I'm using 32 bit win7 ultimate

are you referring to the QDLtool, or a command prompt fastboot and ADB programs?
It looks like that version 10323 you are referring to is a fastboot zip archive, not QDLtool
The qdltool I have is M 2.7.4.5 and M 2.7.4.8
Thanks.

right let me think here lol i have so many files on ,my comp trying to find right ones,
so youve tried both those versions and none work?
after using the 2.7.4.5 version, have you tried getting into fastboot mode by holding the camera button?

I just edited my post, so you can see, I tried both versions.
Earlier one returned no error message, nor fixed the phone.
UPDATE:
I left the battery out of the phone for approx 1 hour. After I put it back and switched the phone on, the Streak loaded the OS completely!
It was alive for about 5 minutes, I even caught some text messages, before it froze completely.
