Can't do anything with Streak - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I bought Streak 5. The problem is OS. When I want to install ROM or recovery there were problems.
I can't go with fastboot cause touch don't working and there is red line text: default NV checked #3.
When I'm trying to upgrade with .pkg file there is an error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.pkg
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
What I'm supposed to do now?
Please help!

Sound like maybe a bad internal sd card. Not the one under the battery cover, but one inside the phone. Do a search for replacement of internal sd card and you'll get several hits. One way involves taking the phone apart, the other involves cutting a piece of plastic out from under the battery cover to gain access. Not real difficult either way.

How inner SD should be formatted? And the size of the new one card should be the same of previous card?

In most cases, the Streak will automatically reformat a new internal SD card. I find most stability/speed with stock 2GB card. Read the entire thread!

@rsfinsrq thank you for the link but I've got problem with Clonezilla. I download stock innerSD image and Clonezilla. I go through few steps and I've got only two options in Clonezilla to save image, any to restore it. How to do it?

No need to use clonezilla. Just insert new SD card and the Streak will format it. Read the entire post! I inserted a 4gb micro sd into my streak (internal) and it self formatted when I booted it up. Perform a factory reset from recovery or restore your nandroid when it automatically reboots completing the format process. Also, 2gb card worked best for me. Long boot time and performance suffered with the class 10 4gb card. Ymmv.

Recovery Not working

I am having problems with the recovery on my phone, it is currently Amon 1.6.2.
In recovery I cannot create nand backups or flash new roms. When trying to create a backup I get this error:
Error: run ‘nandroid-mobile.sh’ via adb!
When trying to flash new roms from SD card i get this:
E: Can’t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
Invalid argument
E: Can’t mount SDCARD:
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
thanks very much.
Make sure your battery is charged past 25% I believe. Its a saftey feature so you won't brick your phone...
battery is fully charged.
first thing i'd try is backing up all data on SDCard... then, boot into whatever ROM you are currently using. go to Menu > Settings > SD Card & Phone Storage.
Unmount SDCard and then format card. then copy a rom.zip to your SD and boot into recovery and try again. if that doesn't work, try formatting the card in recovery, then see if it will mount as USB, copy rom.zip again and try again.
you weren't by any chance trying to resize the partitions on your phone, were you?

Titanium Backup, My Backup Pro or Sprite Backup (pay, on market).
Or search for QtADB here on XDA (not Eris specific) for telling it to backup apps and/or app settings from a Windows GUI, and it's free. Good luck.

[Q] Vegan Ginger sdcard2 format command formatted sdcard and will not boot!

So I just finished putting the final tweak on a re-install of Vegan Ginger. My previous install had some issues with long boot times and the Gallery was not synchronizing with my Picasa Web Photos. The last step in the process was wiping the external SDcard which was complaining from Ginger since I formatted originally to FAT32 on my PC and was unsure of the "preferred" format for Android/Gingerbread. So I went into settings, and under sdcard2 selected "Erase". I then attempted to mount and got some errors regarding the sdcard was empty or not formatted, so I selected "Format". I attempted to re-mount again and got the same error. So I figured that I would give the CWM format a try and rebooted into CWM. I then selected "format sd-ext" and CWM complained that apps2sd did not exist. I then rebooted the tablet through the CWM main menu.
Somehow in this process my internal sdcard was formatted!
The next boot, Vegan Ginger displayed the G Tab Devs and Vegan Launch screen but would boot loop about 5 times until the screen went black.
I was able to boot into ClockWorkMod (CWM) and attempts to mount /data or /sdcard result in:
mount /sdcard
Code:
Can't mount /sdcard
Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk2p1)
(No such file or directory)
mount /data
Code:
Can't mount DATA:!
Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk2p1)
(No such file or directory)
I attempted to do a restore through CWM which resulted in a failure.
Any suggestions on how to get back to a running system? My guess is the following:
format data
format sdcard
The following information would be very helpful:
Is there any chance recovering the current system?
Is it possible to do a "system snapshot" of my tablet to avoid this issue in the future?
What is the preferred Android external SD card format?
Thanks!
Run nvflash from the dev section. There is nothing there to save anymore
I had this same issue with a 32gb micro sdcard formatted in fat32. After finally getting things back in order with nvflash/wipe/reload, Im hesitant to try again. Any idea on the cause or how to prevent it from happening?

In CWM, do a backup (this is the nandroid backup mentioned often here on xda)
When you boot into android, copy the backup file OFF the device, and onto a desktop PC, or a USB flash drive - anywhere but onto any storage that is on the gtab.
Repeat both those steps any time you're about to make major changes, or do any formatting, or otherwise play with sharp objects near your gtab.
When you screw the pooch, you can always copy your latest backup back to the backup directory on the gtab, and then restore from CWM. You may need to nvflash first to get the thing into some sane state, of course. But you'll have the image which will save lots of setup time after...

Can not flash roms

I want to run GingerStreak, but my phone will not let me fllash -any- roms. I'm stuck on 1.9. Can anyone help me? And to be more clear, I used to be able to flash roms, but now I get an error. Even if I change the name to update.zip.
We need more information. What recovery are you running? What rom are you trying to flash? What is the error?

I have StreakDroid 1.9.0 on my phone...And I was trying to update to 1.9.1. Got the rom on there. Got into recovery. When I hit 'apply sdcard:update.zip, I see the yes, it says 'Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip'...I click it, and it says
'Installing: SDCARD:update.zip
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.'
Have you tried reflashing your recovery? Grab the latest version of MultiRecoveryFlasher and give that a shot.

Suggestion:
If you are sure you have StreakMod Recovery installed:
Remove you current SD Card
Install another SD Card
Format the card while in the Streak (you will lose any files on the SD Card)
Put the ROM files on it and attempt the upgrade
OR
Remove your sd card.
backup everything on it somewhere
put sd card back in Streak
Format the card (you will lose all files)
Put the files you need to flash ROM on the SD card and attempt upgrade
What ever ROM you install do a factory reset from the first Revovery page.
Copy the files you need back to the Sd Card.
Like I said, I was able to fllash roms before. Yes, I'm sure I have Clockwork on it.
I suggest that you use StreakMod Recovery instead and that you check your SD card as I wrote in my previous post.
It sometimes happens randomly, try powering the device off for a bit and repeating.
If it doesnt work after several tries then try the above, if it doesnt work with a diff card it might be a hardware issue in something, likely the streak
Yeah, it hasn't worked for months. So, I really Don't know.
Yes try updating recovery
Thanks to the help of Lordmorphous, I figured it out. My internal SD card had come unseated slightly. So, I cut off the plastic above the internal sd card, and reseated it.

[Q] Dell Streak 5 Problem

I have successfully fixed it and it has no problem, it turns out the retard I bought it from replaces the screen but took out the internal storage and it was at a boot loop cause it couldn't store it's data! I'm very satisfied now! Thanks to all that tried to help me though. any mod or admin can close this thread now
I'm a bit confused.
If you have streakmod recovery installed you cannot flash a stock rom.
Have you tried using a micro SD adapter to put your card directly into the computer?
If you have streakmod installed then you need a custom rom. If your device is not recognised then try the way I suggested to transfer a custom rom to your micro SD card.

Yeah the micro sd works fine on my adaptor I just need to fix the brick its the boot logo loop. I just dont understand why it isn't recognizing my sd i put on the phone like in calibration test it found it but when i try to mount usb from streakmod it asks me to inser drive d: or whatever the drive letter was. Maybe you can point me in the right direction to fixing this brick.

first of all ... you must use streakmod recovery...
secondly... i think the inner sd card has gone bad...
I got same problem,
I took innerSD out and I check it in my PC, it said nothing wrong with it
but it is in FAT format, strange ..
I thought inner SD is in EXT format isn't it ?
Is that the problem ?
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16710474&postcount=7
To answer your questions...
1. The MicroSD should be in EXT format, not FAT or FAT32.
2. Yes, that is your problem.
Read the threads at the link provided. They have a wealth of information. Also to be found on the forums is a link to a disk image of the inner MicroSD, which you can use to restore your card. Assuming of course the link is still active.
Just currious
How can My InnerSD became FAT formated ?
I never touch inner SD before, and it run well for almost 4 years (never send "the error msg" + FC's)
I used, froyo > Stock Olleh > PowerRom > last MIUI 2.4.20
after MIUI installed, I used Pure Performance + some swap thing in aplikation + SD Booster
and then, I got the "can't mount messege"
and another problem is
if replace the innerSD and then I format the innerSD the way it should be (in EXT)
I dont have any image to copy, while the OEM InnerSD is in FAT
For the disk image, search the forums here. One of our users posted an image of the MicroSD quite some time ago. Assuming his link is still active, you can use that image to restore the card. If that image does not work, try formatting the card with SD Formatter from sdcard.org, then place it back into the Streak. If after that the card still doesn't work, replace the card.
As for asking how the card could be formatted in that fashion, I have absolutely no idea.
