Just picked up a streak i think it was on att 1.6 i rooted then installed streakmod recovery and tried to flash the dcs .7 rom and the gingerstreak 2.4.4 and after installing i get a billion force closes. How can i get this thing up and running?
Edit: Fixed by doing a reset from the first dell recovery menu before streakmod
Try wiping an cache then reinstall the ROM.
If it was on 1.6 you should let it OTA update to Froyo.
If it was on Froyo and you installed GB you probably just need to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and then do a factory reset.
Weird. I did a factory reset from the first dell recovery menu and that seemed to work

i am using cwm v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8, cleared data, cache, dalvik cache, etc. flash rom, flash gapps, reboot and it hangs at the viewsonic screen. can flash froyo roms with no problem but none of the GB roms will boot. what am i missing? thanks in advance
Any ideas? This is driving me crazy.
Try NVFlash. I was suggested that in this post :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028289
I did it, then my CM ROM installed just perfect the first time!
thank you so much never would have thought to try that but it worked
I was unlocked and rooted, but still on the stock rom.
I finally got around to installing the Alien rom and I was greeted with this message after install.
When I go to update it force closes. Its showing 3.0-beta2 as the latest version but force closes when it goes to check installed version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you havent already done this....
Go into rom manager and run fix permissions. This can be done with Romracers CWM as well. Give that a shot and try it again.
Edit: Also did you do the full wipe routine before and after the alien rom install? Even though the ROM says its a full wipe, still do it manually before and after.
Hmm, I hadn't opened up ROM manager since this change.
It says "You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su"
As far as the wipe, I did the full wipe prior, but wasn't aware of needing to do it after. So I need to wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache Partition again?
EDIT: And of course, I can't get into Recovery Mode either. If I try to root my phone again, it says the file all ready exists?
Yes, something didnt take.
1 Wipe data/factory reset
2 Wipe cache
3 Wipe Dalvik
4 Install ROM
5 Wipe data/factory reset
6 Wipe Cache
7 Wipe Dalvik
8 Reboot
So if you reboot holding down on the volume and go into recovery it doesnt do anything?
what recovery did you use to install Alien initially? Romracers,

All right, I appreciate it. But maybe a stupid question, but since I can't get into recovery mode how do I go about doing this?
EDIT: Sorry, you got me on the edit. I wasn't thinking to go through recovery via the volume key. I was trying to go through the system recovery app. As far as which recovery I used Tenfar's Bootstrap, which reading looks like I probably shouldn't have. Thanks for your help, hopefully this will cure everything.
You are going to have to use fastboot and flash the recovery image again.
Go here--->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
Ya once we got our bootloaders unlocked Tenfars CWM became obsolete. Just pick your favorite color from the link i posted and flash with fastboot.
Thats why you got an error, tenfars wont properly flash a rom.
Just follow that wipe routine after every rom you flash. Before and after flash
I've had CM9 installed on my GT-I9100 for a while now, and was upgrading the Nightlies for a bit, but haven't done for a few months. I decided it's time to finally upgrade my CM9 so I downloaded the latest Nightly.
I copied it onto my phone, and went into CWM 5.5.0.4
I cleared the Cache Partition and the Dalvik Cache and then installed the ROM. I then restarted CWM and fixed permissions and then rebooted my phone, however once I do this, it just hangs on the SGS2 Loading screen with the yellow triangle. Is there anyway to fix this at all so I can update my CM9? I also have the latest Google Apps downloaded but have not installed them yet.
The details in the about phone section are:
Baseband Version - I19100XXLPH
Kernel Version - 3.0.15-I19100XXLP6-CL72050 [email protected] #3
CM9 Version - 9-20120318-NIGHTLY-galaxys2
Build Number - IML74K
are you still on boot screen?
if you have backed up apps, reflash after a wipe data factory reset,
I'm trying to avoid a factory wipe if possible. If not, then I'll do it. Luckily I always do a CWM backup before upgrading so I have my phone back still.
try with only wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing..
still no hope...then backup apps with TB do factory reset.
Flash cm9 again and nothing else. If that doesn't work then flash latest siyah. That should do it.

After messing around with a few of your ideas, i managed to get it working!
Thanks!
Followed instructions to flash KlassicRom and am now bootlooping.
Installed Steve's Kernel and booted into CWM where I made a backup.
Then back to odin to install KlassicRom R5 - no errors but on reboot just bootlooped.
After waiting 15 minutes with bootlooping, I booted into CWM to restore. Restore indicated success but on reboot, now just get Samsung boot screen with Steve's android guy in the corner. Stuck on boot.
I can still reboot into CWM and Odin recognizes the player when in download mode, so I'm hoping it's recoverable.
Anyone available to guide?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Boot into CWM and

Factory Reset
go to advance and Wipe Dalvick Cache
then exit CWM and reboot.
Tried the wipes before. Did so again.
No errors reported with Wipe Cache
No errors reported with Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache reports:

Reboot hangs at Steve's Android guy and Samsung again.
R5 don't work with steve's kernel. It only works with klin kernel or terrasilent.

Downloaded and Odin Flashed R3
Odin reported PASS
on reboot, bootlooping again.
Booted into CWM and Wiped Cache, Factory Reset, and Wiped Dalvik, then reboot.
Bootlooping still.
Same error messages as before when boot hung:
No errors reported with Wipe Cache
No errors reported with Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache reports:
Dalvik Cache wiped.
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Then bootlooping.
US or international, if US there is a stock but rooted ROM on here somewhere (not the full restore using heimdall), i'll look for it later that you can use to flash back with odin then boot into STOCK recovery and wipe data and factory reset that is what got me out of the bootloops when I first started flashing.
here is the link if your running the US model http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512331&highlight=stock+rooted+4+0
Downloaded the stock rom. Odin flashed. Booted into stock recovery and did factory reset/wipe.
Rebooted to joy. Thanks!
Might wait a bit before trying to flash the custom rom again.

Flash the terrasilent kernel and use that version of CWM to make a backup, its a much newer version and backs up things the older misses, also don't have the USB cable connected to the player when your in CWM thats what seamed to throw me into the bootloop, As long as you stick to Klins ROMs only (not using any of those CM7's or anything based off CM7) what you just experienced and solved with the "stock" ROM flash is the worst case scenario when flashing only variations of Klin's ROM with Odin.
I have been trying to use some roms but every rom I install I dont get the notification bar. is there something i am missing as all I do is put the rom on SD card boot into clockwork mod and install using zip on SD and the if mod asks for a data wipe then i do it but if I do that the build never loads I left longhorn 2.9.3 for about 3hrs and never worked.then if I dont wipe then It loads into the rom with problems.
how bout trying using dsc 1.0 ? flash it using streakmod recovery .. and then do wipe data , wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache , fix permissions and do dell factory default ...
