Hi frozen91,
This is simpler than that. You need to install the PC application Streak_iLikeMyGPhone from link.
With this application first install superboot and install recovery after and we have installed the clorckworkmod recovery.
We can install from update.zip superuser.zip or install a custom rom with the superuser already installed.
I hope you understand me, my english is not very good.
Actually, the rooting process is even more simple than what you posted, which you would have discovered upon reading the "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it" thread.
No one-click rooting tools of any kind are needed and in fact are not recommended. Flash the recovery then immediately boot into the recovery instead of letting the Streak boot normally. From there flash superuser.zip and voilá, you're rooted.

The method that I posted is the unic method wich I rooted and intalled clockworkmod recovery in my device. I tried with diferents methods and I get only with this method.
I could do with other methods in froyo 2.2
Well, Clockworkmod has issues on the Streak. You should be using StreakMod Recovery instead.
I don't run a Linux box, though I am familiar with Linux and have used it in the recent past. However, even with Linux you don't need a one-click rooting tool. Linux binaries for Fastboot and ADB are readily available. A cursory search with Google turned up this page. While it assumes the user is running Debian, the setup should apply to any flavor of Linux.
It doesn't matter which OS you have. No one-click root tools are needed to root a Streak because the rooting process hasn't changed from Froyo to Gingerbread. You still load the recovery first using Fastboot on your computer, immediately boot into the recovery, then load the SU binary.

Could you please break that down for me. Ive read up on every thread on rooting but i cant seem to understand how to rename the recovery file (where to go to rename it) so it wont be overwritten when it reboots.
Thanks.

How did you flash the CWM recovery?
with rooting guide. After this i tried to rflash it with ROM manager. From rom manager i can reboot into recovery (CWM) fine. But not from hboot.. (it will be loaded system android recovery)
i read smth in threade for some another phone, that there is two files, which need to be removed via adb.
So... if it's right - what files exactly ?
Uhm, are you S-OFF?
How do you mean stock recovery?
You can't flash any recovery if your not S-OFF most recovery's are fake flash recovery's which is just almost the same except you need adb or a zip file on your SD.
(if you don't know what S-OFF is, search the development section(explaining wouldn't be as good and as complete)
i'm s-on
so without s-off i can't use full functional ?)
Use fake flash as stated before. There's not much profit from S-OFF unless you're a dev, or you need to write files to /system on-the-fly.

Ya, search for the CWM 3 Update.zip in dev-section, push it on the root of your SD and start into stock recovery. Now push vol-up+power and navigate with the volume keys to flash update.zip now you are in CWM without starting the app.
Ps: you have to rename the downloaded recovery file to update.zip

To make it even easier here's the link to the post in dev u need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
Download the attached file, name it update.zip, place it in the root of your sdcard and like stated above, u're ready to go.
Just run the "apply sdcard:update.zip" and u'll boot right into CWM!

thanks to all!

Well - NO you don't have to be rooted to install the superuser.zip, you need StreakMod Recovery which you install in fastboot mode. Flashing files with fastboot does not require root.
Get in fastboot mode, run command to flash streakmod recovery, then get in streakmod recovery to flash superuser.zip

Remember that the key to this sequence is to NOT let the Streak boot normally after installing StreakMod, boot using fastboot reboot and hold both volume buttons to enter recovery.
Hi I just wanted to check is it just me who is having this issue but none of the download links seem to work and I can't access the streakdroid site. is it down or is my connect somehow 'corrupt'?

Hello,
my friend have a dell streak 5 and he decided to root it... he was orignally on android version 2.2 and then he followed a guide here http://www.modaco.com/topic/316229-19aug-streak-21-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/ and flashed superboot r1 for build 6941 for "2.1". and now its stucked in dell logo...
the phone can still enter into recovery and fastboot mode so if anybody can help to recover back the phone it would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
okay first of all sorry for double post.. a user assisted me and said to flash 360.Now the problem is how do I flash it in fast boot mode???I mean I am a regular samsung user and we have tools like ODIN(for samsung) where we can flash a zip file but I see for Dell streak you get a .pkg file so any thought how I can flash 360 file and get the Dell streak back in action.
PS:This dell streak got semi bricked while rooting so it might not be rooted so please keep the situation in mind and say me is it safe to flash 360 and if it is safe then how to flash it via fast boot mode
If you can enter the fast boot and recovery then update your fone with gb (2.3.3)
New rom makes every thing good and better

You don't flash a ROM via fastboot, but in recovery. If you don't have a recovery installed but can access fastboot you should be able to install a recovery via MultiFlasher (link in my sig). For the 360 ROM you would flash one of the region 00 recovery images. From that point you should be able to install the ROM.
Next time, don't use a one-click method to root. Install a custom recovery, immediately boot into the recovery and flash superuser.

thanks for all your support.. I solved the problem..
I am also writing sets of instruction that how I solved it just in case if some one faces the same problem.
Making note of my problem and the dell steak 5 condition,
*I was able to enter the recovery mode(this recovery is stock recovery).
*Once I entered the recovery I decided to download the stock ROM file (update.pkg).
*MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT BUILD FILE (.pkg) OR ELSE YOU END UP IN A SEMI/FULL BRICK.(well in my case my build was 15609 so I downloaded the 305 version .pkg file and recovery wasn't needed since I already had the stock recovery for the specified build which is already installed on the streak 5).
*I put the file on SD card and renamed it as "update.pkg".
*Flashed the update via stock recovery.It took like around 5 mins since it was the first boot after flashing so be patient.
*TA-DAAAA!!! my friend's Dell Steak 5 was alive and running up on 2.2.2 :good:
I thank to all the people who assisted me in this process.
PS:Special thanks to TheManii
I followed a tutorial to successfully root my phone in the past, but I need to do it again and want to understand it a bit better this time. (I'm doing it using command-line heimdall from Ubuntu.) Doing "sudo heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot", the tutorial provided a recovery.img which went on to install CWM. Then from within the rooted phone I installed another custom recovery. But do I need to do this as a 2-step process like this, or can I simply for the first time on an UNrooted phone do "sudo heimdall flash --recovery SOME-OTHER-RECOVERY.img --no-reboot"?
The tutorial also provided a CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip. What's actually the purpose of this, and do I even need it?
It also came with an s3pit.pit, but I didn't actually do anything with this. Did the 'heimdall' command that I ran do something with this, or is it safe to do the rooting process without it?
I'm asking because I'd like to root my phone not blindly following one tutorial which provided its own files (http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-linuxubuntu/). Surprisingly there are no other decent tutorials out there on rooting this phone from Ubuntu, any ideas?
You can flash any compatible recovery in step 1. I see no reason to flash something you don't need. I recommend philz recovery (link in signature) but twrp is good. I would stay away from cwm as its not great if you want to go to 4.2 android roms
Having a recovery is one thing but actually you're still not rooted. You need recovery to flash a zip which will give you root. Unless you just want to flash a custom rom, in which case you only need the recovery and can skip flashing root stuff
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I wasn't aware of these distinctions, thanks. What alternative zips that give me root could you recommend? I would rather use one that is on xda-developers rather than on a blog post on some random website. Does it need to be compatible with the recovery, or would any 'root zip' meant for the i9300 work?
So is it possible to root the stock default ROM by just flashing a root zip using the stock recovery? Or is a custom recovery needed for this?
Roots are in Development section as said CWM is rather out of date now .
Both TWRP and Philz work well .

I think I have misunderstood. In the first response it said "You need recovery to flash a zip which will give you root", which I assumed was the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip" I mentioned in the original post. I'm wondering about alternatives for this zip, not for the recovery (for the recovery I'll use Philz or TWRP as has been suggested).

You don't need an alternative. It contains 2 things. The su binary (what gives you root) and the super user app (a graphical "gatekeeper" to root). If you're applying root to a handset, you'll be using these things

So I got the 5.12.10 update for the weekly developer ROM and it installed stock recovery over TWRP and unrooted my phone. The first time I rooted I managed to flash TWRP with stock recovery, but it isn't working this time. I've had a lot of trouble trying to install via ADB drivers. Help please?

Did you rename TWRP to update.zip and put it on the root of the internal storage before flashing? If yes and it still failed, you'll have to give us a bit more info as to why it failed to flash (any error messages f.e.?). Should be fairly trivial to flash TWRP and SuperSU

It wasn't too difficult the first time, but the recovery seems to be using some sort of signature on the ROM's. All it tells me is that "Install update.zip failed! update.zip signature verification failed." It is named update.zip on the root of internal storage.

Hm, from what I've found on the miui forum, you're not the first one having this issue. These are the "possible" solutions I've gathered from a couple of threads.
1) Flash TWRP using fastboot (rename twrpxxxx.zip to recovery.zip and place it in the same folder as the fastboot executable):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2) Update your current ROM (stable/developer) to the latest version if that isn't the case yet and try flashing TWRP again trough the update app
3) Flash TWRP using Flashify
1. download flashify app from playstore and give root acces
2. download img of twrp for redmi 2 note and put in your sd card (I prefer sdext root folder)
3. Open flashify, select "recovery image", find the img file you've downloaded
4. confirm flash, wait until it's done
4) Re-download a copy of TWRP or use a different one (like this one for example)
Let me know how it went..
So I tried Flashify and every time I tried to use it, the app froze right before/after selecting the recovery image. I did, however, manage to make the ADB and fastboot methods work on my desktop PC. I have no idea what I did wrong before, maybe the wrong ADB drivers? Anyway, I did get it working, so thank you
