After seeing lots of different guides and struggling to understand them I have compiled a concise and easy to follow guide on fastboot, root, recovery, roms and ADB including lots of download links.
The idea is to stop people having to search high and low for a guide on how to do something and to provide easy to follow guides with no assumptions. Sort of like a central resource. This could be downloaded to your device and then all the download links are available wherever you are.
Most of it is my own work with inspiration taken from XDA and Modaco. Both forums have done a lot to help me so I thought it was time I gave back.
If you have any comments, corrections or suggestions then please email me at the email address in the attached document.
EDIT: Added lots of pictures and screen prints and converted to PDF only.
Thanks

i stickied, but havent read the documents.. but im sure its good useful information!
Im reading the pdf now looks good so far.
This should help alot of new and old users lol.

Good idea, done thanks!
One thing though, I appear to be missing a clockworkmod recovery? There are 4 on the guide (one from Koush's recovery and 3 from the clockworkmod guide sticky(2 on first page and 1 on page 3)). Is there another version somewhere or is it just those 4?
Thanks

Sounds Good I plan to download now
Hi, thanks for the guide but am stuck on one part. I want to basically install a custom recovery and am on Android 2.1.
The guide says to browse the Streaks folder via fastboot in a command prompt window, but how do you do that?
C and D drives are to do with the pc partitions but their are no others popping up when in Fastboot mode so am a little confused their.
"Navigate to your C:\streak folder by typing cd C:\streak and hitting Enter....."
I think he means use the command prompt to browse the folder that you downloaded and have named "Streak" so on the cmd, type "cd C:\streak" then enter and it should take you to the streak folder on your C drive which should have all the fastboot tools etc, at which point you can run the fastboot command. Am I right?
Thanks!
I would like to thank you Radddogg for this guide dude!
I'm new to Android and I got the gist of things by reading most of the threads on the Dell streak, but never truely understood what exactly was needed to flash ROM's, recovery's etc until I read your guide and it has made pretty much everything clear now....though I do still have a couple of questions
Firstly, just to clear things up in my mind, I know we use fastboot commands to install recovery images, but can we also use these commands to install actual ROM updates? If so, what is the difference between updating via the fastboot tool and via the recovery mode?
Secondly, I take it that we use stock recovery's for official ROM's and custom recovery's for custom ROM's, the question is, are there specific custom recovery's for specific custom ROM's or will any custom recovery work with any custom made ROM?
And lastly, which is required for leaked ROM's? Stock Recovery?
Thanks again Radddogg and thanks to anyone else who can help make me understand.
I understand now, will try it out tonight, cheers.
There won't be matching custom recovery/rom's. Just install the clockwork one and it will work fine.
hi Radddogg, thanks for your efforts.. but i went thru your pdf file, and tried so many times, just couldn't get yours to work.. i must have removed/replaced my battery like 50 times.. but i finally got mine to work.
i'm on 1.6 build 3883.. i kept getting the E:Can't find MISC error or blank screen trying the clock recovery 1.8.1.7, or your stock recovery.
Finally, what i did was:
1. load the 3883 superboot
loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/streak/r1-3883-streak-superboot.zip
2. load the 4399 recovery
loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/streak/r1-4399-streak-recovery.zip
3. load the 4399 pkg
loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/streak/Streak_104_4399_21.pkg
4. and finally load the 8105 pkg using the 4399 recovery
info is here.
android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/310618/19-aug-streak-1-6-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/
Hi,
I'm not sure what you were trying to do as you didn't say but one thing I've found is that updates and recoveries are very build dependant and have to be done in order of build number. I'm not sure why you couldn't do what you wanted off the pdf as the downloads you posted are all available off my pdf?
The streak is definitely less user friendly than HTCs
Oh and is there a copy of the 3883 pkg anywhere I can add to the pdf?
sorry, i don't have a 3883 copy.
What was different was the sequence that i did it, and the versions to use.
Going thru your pdf, i followed point by point starting from point 1.. and i'm supposed to, after starting fastboot.. to do this
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But i get the blank screen. Not sure why, but i guessing i had to use this
fastboot –i 0x413c
for the recovery.img so i tried this but still not working. Maybe the recovery.img is not 4399 version.. and because i was on 3883, i had to use 4399?
When i tried
fastboot –i 0x413c flash recovery recovery-clockwork-streak.img
It worked, but then i get the "E:Can't find MISC" error. I'm guessing my pkg was the 8105 instead of the 4399. So tried loading 4399 pkg but same error. The clockwork thing didn't work for me.
Anyway, after trial and error many times, long story short, i downloaded the 4399 recovery and did this
fastboot –i 0x413c flash recovery recovery4399.img
load the 4399 pkg
load the 8105 pkg
and it finally worked. Would've helped if you had mentioned what version to use or that i had to load the 2 different versions of the pkg in sequence or maybe its just me. I didn't know.. i'm an android newbie..
But thanks anyway.
Hey sory if disturbing.
Below are my Streak details

Kernel 2.6.29-perf
Build 6267
Please help me and let me know whic version will work
Super Boot ???

ROM ??
etc. etc. If some body already updated the same build into 2.1 please help me and give the instruction step by step.
Thanks
This post is for people who have already upgraded their Streaks and know the basics. This guide won't help you upgrade or root.
I spent over 24 hours trying to get my Streak back to stock. I was not happy with the O2 branding, Performance, and aesthetics of 2.1 so I wanted to go back but every method I found online didn't work for me. So I created my own little method.
Note: All the files you need are in a zip file below. The hardest part for me was finding files that worked and/or were not dead links. But if you download my files and use this guide I'm not responsible if you screw up.
Step 1: Download Zip File
It has everything you will need in order to Downgrade.
Step 2: Downgrade to a stock O2 build of 1.6 (important)
- Place the Step 2 Update.pkg on the root of your sdcard.
- Place Step 2 Recovery folder where you can get to it using CMD / Terminal via Fastboot
- Place your Streak in fastboot mode
- Type this command into CMD or Terminal " fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.stock.new.img "
- Once the streak shows done pull out the battery and replace it, then boot using volume keys
- Update from sd card
Step 3: Clockworkmod Recovery
- Place Step 3 clockwork folder where you can get to it using CMD / Terminal via Fastboot
- Place Step 3 clockworkmod folder on the root of your sdcard
- Place your Streak in fastboot mode
- Type this command into CMD or Terminal " fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img "
- Once the streak shows done pull out the battery and replace it, then boot using volume keys
- Update from sd card
Step 4: Nandroid (almost done)
- Once your in the clockworkmod recovery menu select nandriod using the volume and camera buttons
- Select Restore
- Now you will see Niles Method, Select it and wait for the restore to finish.
- Once it's done reboot the system using nandroid or the battery pull method.
- During boot up if your keys don't blink then your done enjoy, if your keys blink then go to step 5
Step 5: Stop the flashing
- If you got this far then I'm sure you know how to root your device. So all you need to do is run the r2 superboot in Step 5 folder.
And thats it folks. The above worked for me and a number of other people and their streaks. I can't guarantee that it will work for everyone but other methods I found online did not work for myself and the others at all.

I tried that one and along with a few other people and we did not seem to get that method working, 3 out of the 5 of us did. The other two of us used a mixture of methods in order to get it to work. As explained above.
I believe you had a personal investment in the one you linked to, it's nothing personal but not every method works for every person like it did not work for some of us. Don't get defensive it does not matter about which they use as long as people have multiple methods to try if they get stuck. It's all about helping the user right? at least I thought it was.
Many thxz mikeniles. I have been trying to go back for a few days now i most have sending back the streak to dell for warranty exchange. Did tried a few others I think like the one above also with the one that is for the macs and nothing,
thxz for putting the files in one places to find them all is hard like the one that is above has link that takes me to another sites not the files.
like you saysd above it is about the helping everyone and when dell send me back the new one will not do update until ready for.

That guy clark, no one here will make fun of your english it's not that type of place we are all just here to help and or in my case learn.
No thanks needed brother it's a team effort someone else put the files online I just found them. Someone else came up with the methods I based mine off of. All I did was put them together in one file and share with you the mixture that worked for me. Every single person on this forum is why you got yours working not just me.
Not sure why you have to send your streak in but good luck with it and don't be afraid of people making fun of you, Your voice counts.
Always good to have alternative ways as people are running different systems and configurations.

I was shocked when I saw the title
"Back to AT&T Stock 6.1 6601 in 4 Steps"
Your method doesn't work because it produces MD5 Mismatch when you try to run it.
Worse yet, your method broke my phone because once you install that version of clockwork recovery, you can't install any other version without it just blackscreening. Worse yet, that version doesn't work for regular packages either. *Many hours of trial an error just to get it back to working, still no ATT rom.
Did anyone tried to upgrade to 2.3.3 using these instruction - w w w.venusvenera.com/2011/05/how-to-upgrade-update-dell-venue-to_1886.html
The Dell Venue owners may also want to keep their smartphones up-to-date. So we thought of giving you a tutorial of how to upgrade Dell Venue to Android 2.3.3.
But prior to telling you how to install Android 2.3.3 on Dell Venue, let’s see what do you want in order to be able to perform the installation. You will have to download 2.3.3 Dell Venue port. You will also have to root your Dell Venue to prepare it for Android 2.3.3 upgrade.
Here are the download links of the files you want to updatre Dell Venue to Android 2.3.3 - 4shared.com/file/-388kF2Q/hc_NS_test-81.html
Just before beginning to upgrade your Dell Venue to Android 2.3.3 don’t forget to backup your information, as contacts, text messages and the apps installed from Android Marketplace Location who may be lost when the installation finishes.
Now let’s see how to update Dell Venue to Android 2.3.3 :
1. Install the ROM Manager on your Dell Venue. Get it from Android Marketplace Location, then install the clockwork mod recovery.
2. Connect your Dell Venue to your PC employing the USB information cable. Copy the “hc_NS_test-8.1.zip” file you downloaded to the SD memory card
3. Restart your device in the recovery mode using ROM Manager. As soon as in Recovery Mode, go to ROM Manager and select backup / restore to back-up your information.
4. From the Recovery Menu do a total data erase (including Delvik Cache). When completed, go back to Recovery Principal Menu and choose Flash ROM from SD Card. Navigate the location you copied the ”hc_NS_test-8.1.zip” file and follow the directions for installing Android 2.3.3 on your Dell Venue. As soon as the installation is over, just reboot your Dell Venue device and here you go, you’ve just upgraded it to the new Android 2.3.3
4shared.com/file/-388kF2Q/hc_NS_test-81.html
There's a strong possibility it's a fake
the build.prop reports it's a it's either an emulator image or a nexus S image, it also says it's a HC 3.0 rom.
Definitely isnt based on any venue rom at all.
You can try it but as it's difficult to recover venues as there's little modding support you're basically on your own if something goes wrong.
I would recommend against it unless you're on 319 and dont care about losing all your data
I wouldn't trust it. I have been hunting and looking everywhere for a possible update, with no luck. If there was one to show up, I am sure it would end up on xda somewhere.

I rooted it with Gingerbreak apk then installed clockwork mod, then I made nand backup before the upgrade.
Omnichron, Is the upgraded version working good without any issues ?
Search for "hc_NS_test-81" on Google, it seems this file upgrades:
Nexus S to Honeycomb 3.0
LG Alley to Gingerbread 2.3
Sony Ericsson W8 to Honeycomb 3.0
Samsung Captivate to Honeycomb 3.1
Xperia X10 to Gingerbread 2.3.3
Motorola Milestone to Gingerbread 2.3.3
Samsung Showcase i500 to Froyo 2.2
Samsung Moment to Gingerbread 2.3.4
and now
Dell Venue to Gingerbread 2.3.3, 2.3.4, or 3.1 (search "hc_NS_test-81 venue")
Looks like just wishful thinking to me.
As I previously mentioned it seems to be a fake, but noone's stopping you from trying it/bricking your phone.
I'm also confused on what the previous poster's phone is, as it's not a venue(?). Seeing as the venue hasnt ever had clockwork ported to it.
If it did then it's doing a great job hiding in plain sight as noone ever mentioned anywhere about having ported clockwork, much less setting it up to be served by rom manager (it takes a couple extra unrelated steps to set up)
No Way
Without a verified version of Clockwork out for the Venue, no way I am touching this one with a 10 foot pole.

That's what I was wondering.
One suggestion , there's a app named root tool box pro , it needs root access, and can flash recovery . make back up of recovery, wipe caches , Battery stats, fix market link, tweak sdcard speed, md5 sum fix, remove system app, and many more , checkout on market , if someone needs this app pro version and don't want to spend money on it let me know I have it and will share.

You should remove what you said, xda does not tolerate warez
I should mention I upgraded mine and it worked well for a bit then it would not start up beyond the Dell logo. I had to restore original Rom.

Chapter 1: The Foolishness of the User
Hi, I have the korean version of the optimus one(KU3700). It was on gingerbread(2.3.4) stock. I was trying to root it by downgrading it. I entered "adb reboot recovery" and I'm stuck. I tried to reflash it by going to emergency mode with the button combinations using the KDZ updater with this
"csmg. lgmobile. com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGKU3700/AKTFBK/KU370040_00/KU370040_00.kdz"
and it worked without any errors but when it when it came up it was still on recovery mode. Is there any way I can change the phone mode to the regular mode
Chapter 2: Journey to Salvation
For anyone who has this korean optimus one, after days of searching, I've found a web site that gave me hints to solve the problem. I just needed a different kdz file and I got it here:
h t t p://sirospace.tistory.com/category/Android%E2%97%86
popped it in google translate because I'm Filipino and can't read korean.
Downloaded the froyo kdz and flashed. I hope this can help other people stupid enough to play with their phones by typing random commands without knowing what it does, like me, LOL...so happy, now it's time to root
Chapter 3: False Hope
OK so I have successfully unbricked and rooted my KU3700, now The problem I have is installing a custom recovery on this phone, none of the images I try work.
Recovery images I have tried are as follows:
recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-2.2.1.img
recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-3.0.6.img
Every time it finishes and reboots, it gets stuck at the LG logo.
Chapter 4: Wisdom Within
Found the problem. The images above are for the P500.Even if the KU3700 hardware is similar to the P500, flashing firmwares made for the other model will result in errors. The same holds true for custom recoveries.
Chapter 5: The Plea to the Gods
I've contacted drellisdee and submitted the files needed for custom recovery creation for the KU3700.
Just waiting for the flash image now. Thank you everyone
Chapter 6: The Forgotten
It seems drellisdee is busy right now. I'm a windows user and knows nothing about programing. So if anybody can help I'm sure the KU3700 community would be greatful. I've attached the files I think are needed to make a custom recovery.
Chapter 7: Quest for the Custom Recovery
I got tired of waiting. So as a windows user with no experience in programming, I did a lot of copying and pasting, I managed to port clockwork mod using virtualbox following this website:
h t t p://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html
So I have got a bootable and flashable custom recovery but nothing works yet. I still need to configure it according to the device.
I have uploaded the image and the build files. Please help me configure it and tell me what's wrong. I really don't know that I'm doing
PS: you can try flashing the custom recovery by doing "fastboot flash recovery /Path to/recovery.img and you can go to recovery by using android terminal and type "boot recovery". It will boot, but that's that LOL. Take out the battery to boot to normal mode.
Chapter 8: The Holy Grail
LOL, I found the answer again. I was so frustrated that I kept squishing the phone in recovery and found out that it was just a button configuration problem. A bit of research and I found out that I can toggle it by pressing volume up and volume down at the same time. WOOHOO!!! Custom Recovery at last
Chapter 9: Invasion of the ROMS
And here at last, the user is retired. But the adventure is far from over. It is foretold that the creation of the Custom Recovery will begin a new era. The key to open the gate has been found. So our hero will await the invasion of the ROMS<background music...> END

Thank you for the reply but as I said, I can flash fine without errors it's getting back to regular mode I have a problem with. Rebooting and reflashing does not take me out of the recovery screen(it's just a opened box with an orange arrow and the android logo).

This is just a shot in the dark because i didn't understand what you did entirely : have you used the combination to actually recover the stock rom after you flashed with KDZ ? (Home+VolDown+Power)
Yes already did. The computer can see the phone whenever I connect it except that I can't access adb. I may have to take this back to the store

Are you sure you flashed the right rom for your phone? There's an application that downloads the required rom for your phone according to your IMEI/SN, but i don't know if it works with the korean version.
Yes it's the KDZ file, unfortunately it's the only KDZ file out there for ku3700. Shouldn't have settled for this korean version
why you wanna downgrade the latest version?
Dude I have the same Korean edition as you.
Actually why you wanna downgrade the latest version.?
My phone had 2.2.2 and I did upgrade it into 2.3.4 I did it officially and I can tell you How to re-install 2.3.4 if you want.

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to downgrade it to root it. And now I'm rooted. My only problem now is installing a custom recovery. I've already tried several custom recoveries:
recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-2.2.1.img
recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-3.0.6.img
but I get stuck at the LG logo when it reboots. I think it's because it's for the p500. So if you have a custom recovery for the ku3700 please help
I dont get it ,p504,p505,p506 are versions of p500??? And why some of our roms work on those phones?? So by logic this stock work on p500???

this method worked for my working KU3700 when I'm using my 1st KU3700 I also was struck as you and finely I realized there are No custom roms for Optimus one Korean edition (KU3700/SU370) and I had to connect my phone to an Octopus box (lg softwere box) via software box installed the official firmware. if this method not working you have to connect to a software box.
connect to the internet your PC and 1st install Driver and 2nd install the LG update tool. after installation connect your phone to computer and wait a five seconds for comport installation. after install your phone Run LG Update application.
it is connect to the server automatically indicating red line and after search for latest firmware.
if you can Update your phone it is shows Update butten.

Thank you all for the quick answers, but I already have a rooted ku3700. All I need now is a working custom recovery. If someone has the same phone, please tell me which image is compatible
you can appear the emergency mood with android logo.
it means you have an Empty phone. your Os was been erased. You have to connect your phone to Octopus software box and box server has you original Os for your IMEI. this is the only solution. if you will able to solve this problem without a Software box please inform me. we can open a New Thread for Korean edition.
(ku3700/su370)
I already got out of the emergency mode without an octobus box. It's really simple, you just need to use a different kdz file. The hard part was looking for the kdz file. I have 3 kdz files. KU370017(froyo), KU370033(gingerbread-rootable), KU370040(latest one from LG, gingerbread-unable to root). Just flash with the KDZ updater. I'm on the second firmware because I can't root the latest firmware. To root it, I used super one click(latest version, use zerg rush option). Now I'm just waiting for a custom recovery from drellisdee so I can use custom roms. When I get it, I'll ask him if I can post it so we all can have uber phones LOL
Updated the thread. Can somebody help?

If you have flashed a working clockworkmod you can enter into clockworkmod via ROMManager (search in google play aka market). In ROMManager you have "reboot to recovery" option in case you want to go to recovery to flash something. Also you can try to flash from ROMManager a custom recovery (5.0.2.0 for oldBB or 5.0.2.7 for newBB), try to choose to phone model LGP500 oldBB, try and test if it's working. Wish you luck.
Thanks but I already have a working recovery. I just need some ROM makers now

Have you tried CM7.2? if your phone is very similar with Optimus One i doubt it isn't compatible with your phone.
If your phone use 2.6.35.10 or 2.6.35.14 kernel you can give a shot to try CM7.2 on your phone, but before try this make a backup first.
Check this thread Post Your CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1 Nightly Questions HERE!! for CM7 custom rom.
yep, it doesn't work. Is there a tutorial for building cyanogen for unsupported devices? All I can find are tutorials for supported devices. I've already got the source code from LG. The problem is just incorporating it in the cyanogen mod. I wish this phone had more users LOL
Hi folks,
I followed the steps in these two how-tos as far as I was able:
(a) androidpolice. com/2010/05/08/complete-guide-how-to-flash-a-custom-rom-to-your-android-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/
(b) androidpolice. com/2010/04/16/complete-guide-how-to-fully-back-up-and-restore-your-android-phone-using-nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
(Please pardon the awkward format of the links. As I am new I am prohibited from posting outside links, but I wanted to reference my material so you'd know whose instructions I was following. I hope that's okay.)
I seem to have hit a snag. When I go to backup my current ROM, in howto (b), my phone reboots into the stock bootloader. I've tried to reflashing Clockwork Recovery several times, to no avail. I'm not as computer literate as I'd like to be, and I'd rather not proceed without asking first if anybody has encountered this before.
I am using:
T-Mobile SGH-T959
Firmware Version 2.2 (Froyo)
Baseband Version T959UVKB5
Build Number FROYO.UVKB5
The version of ClockworkMod Rom Manager I'm using is 5.5.1.4, the free version.
Is there a way to manually replace the stock boot loader with clockwork recovery, instead of counting on the app to do so?
