Cant wipe my device - Streak 5 Android Development

i had a dell streak that i cant flash its recovery. i cant get into recovery. previously, it was using cmw, but it has problem - i cant wipe my fon to factory setting, even i installed other roms n perform wipe, the data is still inside. i bought the fon as used unit, with miui & cwm installed on it, the seller did not pass me his memory card.i remember he says his memory card has ext 2 or 3 or 4 something.
when i boot into recovery, i wipe and install miui, cm7, the rom was installed, but old data was still inside.
Now after i turn the device in fastboot mode & flash to streakmod recovery using this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326 , i cant even boot into the recovery. it only shows black blank screen. the device still can boot and use as normal, but im unable to access the recovery anymore, n unable to wipe the device. already tried factory reset from settings menu n also tried wipe data from recovery(Previously, when i can access the cwm) Pls help me.
also, i saw a utility cleanflasher, may i know how 2 use it? can flash a rom? may i know where can i dload the .amss n dsp1 file?

i figured it out, i use cleanflasher n successfully replaced its recovery to streakmod, thx 4 reading. other ways flashing thru command prompt doesn't work 4 me.

GOD I feel like a noob! Optimus V, CWM, and rom issues

I rooted my device using Gingerbreak.
I have 2.2.2 installed out of the box. I installed CWM. I installed busybox.
Busybox failed. I tried all the versions that it contains.
I checked root status, and RootCheckBasic says I'm rooted.
I installed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It will not reboot to CWM.
It only reboots to the standard Android recovery.
I'm trying to install Bumblebee ROM 2.4.
Here are some things I am having issues understanding with it...
Backup current apps and their data with Titanium Backup (available in the Market). Is this required? The phone is new. I have nothing to back up.
Do a nandroid backup in recovery before doing anything else below.
And the nandroid backup is done with CWM? Again CWM won't reboot, only the standard Android recovery boots.
Required if installing BB 2.x for the first time: Wipe. Wipe it all. Data, cache, system, dalvik-cache, sd-ext if you've got it (might need to look under Advanced or Mounts in recovery to do the last two, and while you're there format /system). I assume you wipe it all with CWM while in recovery?
If upgrading from BB 2.3, wipe cache (and only cache) in recovery.
Does not apply to me
If not upgrading from 2.3, install Wiper zip (see below), just to be extra sure that all is wiped. Don't reboot yet. Installing wiper.zip is done by sideloading using adb commands?
Install ROM zip (see below).
I assume this too is done by copying the zip to the external SD, then selecting update from SD card in recovery... right?
Please someone shed some light on this for me.
In standard Android recovery it says e3. I know on my Captivate I had to use Odin to install GB loaders to get it to work.
THANKS!​
Flashwork mod recovery? Never heard of it.
Try downloading rom manager from the market and use that.
Everything else should be simple

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
It's in rom manager.
Which I installed from the market.
But I don't get the CWM recovery when I reboot into recovery mode.
I get the standard Android recovery
-you know... the one that just has "install update.zip"

Oh, okay, um... are you using the reboot into recovery option in rom manager right after flashing?
After flashing what?
I reboot into recovery through rom manager and get:
Android system recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
_________________________________________________________
Android System recovery...
Do not pull out the battery!!
After hitting flash clockworkmod recovery, immediately hit reboot recovery
After hitting anything in CWM it did nothing more than reboot into the standard android recovery.
This phone has 2.2.2 on it. Problem? Probably.
I followed instructions at androidcentral and got it to work.
Needed Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM
Installed BACKside-IHO-VM670-11222011
using Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM_Recovery-signed
Had a little problem today and needed to activate the phone. BUUUUT......
the rom didn't allow activation.
So I installed Bumblebee. No go.
Then I tried [rom] basic stock rom.
Neither of these will let my phone boot. It gets stuck at boot.
Nothing happens.
I can still boot into Xiona_CWMA. But no roms will work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Dude i m noob, and i m facing same problem,

Ok, so I CAN load different recoveries.
They work, or at least seem to.
I can flash roms, but nothing happens (bootloop) or the phone comes on and works with a black screen.
I can call my number and can hear the call, but can't see anything.
Bullet if u found solution pls tell me too

I believe that may be due to the newer display in your phone (I'm new to this device so I dont know much yet). From the little bit of information I've gathered, devices manufactured recently have a different display that requires a kernel that supports it. In the iho roms this is included, on others you'll need to flash a kernel right after the rom.
For the stock rom I can upload what I use if you need it. Its basically the one posted here just with the boot.img swapped with one from a nandroid backup I made before switching roms
I think you're spot on with that idea.
I loaded CM7 variant, and it worked.
My question is, how do I get another ROM on it if it has the newer screen?
I loaded different kernels that were supposed to fix it, but no go.

bricked, again

I just did the biggest F-Up of my flashing life. While following QBKing77's Rooting & CWM with unlocked, at approx 3:50, during the flashing of the root SYSTEM.img file, rather than that file, I used the wrong file to flash used an IMG file that was meant for cwm, which is a completely different task.
So now I am trying to get into fast boot and try to do it with correct SYSTEM.IMG, then to find out I never got it downloaded, the link was deadand now I can not find where to DL it from. I must've not been paying attention and got ahead of myself.
Anyone know where I can a mirror of the file found here. Its the first link in the root section labelled "moto-fastboot flashable /system image".
Am I screwed? Does anybody have a copy of that system.img file laying around. I can not find any mirrors. That is the only way I can see this getting fixed bc I can still go into fastboot mode.
ckeck this ????

Can u get into rsd mode and flash 154_5 sbf
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Important files
Thank shabbypenguin for those
If you can get into rsd mode and connected/recognized in rsd lite you should be able to flash one of those sbf files and return to stock.
I read the instructions carefully! It said to put the oven on 350 degrees for 10mins but for some out of this world reason I put it on broil and let it cook for 20mins :/

LOL no kidding Custodian. I did get a laugh out of that.
Thanks CubanLuke & ShabbyPenguin. I did use RSDLite to flash the current sbf you directed me to, I can boot into the phone again. Thanks again.
Now as to how to proceed, I will have to unlock the bootloader again, np, but when I run into that very step where I broiled it, the rooting via speedboot.... would it be okay to root using AIO instead because I can not find the SYSTEM.IMG needed to follow along w/ the video using this method.
Can I just root a different method, then proceed on with CWM recovery, then flash rom from the video?

Thanks KTT. Okay, I'm back on track now. I am unlocked again, rooted as well. but I am not sure about 2 things. This will be my very first android rom flash and just coming from a big whoopsies, I just want to be sure.....
1) Format system: in cwm recovery, which option is that? I don't see "format system" in the main or advanced menu. Maybe its worded differently?
2) Flash ROM: I can only assume its either "Apply Update from SD" or Update from SD". Not sure which one though.

1) Format system is in the "mount" options. Although it's unneeded to flash a ROM. Personally I just wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache and have zero issues. Others may tell you different though.
2) "Install .zip from SD Card" then select whichever .zip you're looking to install.

Okay well I am in some trouble again. successfully flashed an alpha cm7.1, but it didn't have market and the one i installed did not work so decided to flash to cm7.2 via CWM. When it booted I didn't really see anything change, later realized that maybe I was suppose to wipe/format in cwm first(idk).
So I decided to flash 198_7, same one that I used to restore back to stock earlier. But I did not get back to stock. The process was 100%, it told me to manually turn on the device, which was in rsd mode. So I unplugged, pulled batt, reboot. The phone now starts up until the pulsing Moto logo then screen goes black, then it loops.
In the process I lost CWM & unlocked. So trying to flash a ROM via cwm is no longer an option. Any thoughts?

Flashing the 198_7 sbf unroots and relocks, so you're back to square one.

Reboot into stock recovery, when you get the recovery logo thing push both volume up and volume down at the same time to get the recovery options. Then do a factory reset and it should boot for you. After that, root and unlock again. And you didn't have the Market because you forgot to install Gapps...

The reason cm7 didn't have the market is that you needed to flash gapps. Try doing a hard reset. http://www.hard-reset.com/motorola-photon-4g-hard-reset.html That should do it.
try the 154 sbf

i had the same problem i think and was going thru boot loops but some one told me to start into recovery when you try you get that ? android screen from there hold down volume up and down at same time then wipe phone booted up fine after that.
It worked like a charm. Thanks. I'm still very new to android and hate to admit it but will be running into problems like these again. The best way to minimize it for me is, not only follow certain directions correctly to get out of these binds, but to understand them.
- So theres an image of the stock ROM stashed away on the phone regardless? And it can be accessed only via the stock recovery? Because after I succeeded in flashing cm7.1, I did a factory reset once from settings>privacy and that restored me to a fresh CM7.1. The factory reset from settings>privacy and in CWM is the same, but both different from the factory reset via STOCK RECOVERY?
- Also what would be the correct method to go from one custom ROM to another? Would it be this? :
(in CWM)
- Format system
- Wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache/dalvik
- Reboot recovery
- Flash ROM
Or can I just jump to install from zip ?
- Also regarding SD Storage (internal), only holds storage files? So on any fresh ROM there shouldn't be anything in that partition relating to that new ROM yet right? So I can delete things without worry?
You should not have to reboot into recovery, once your wipes are complete, normally you can just flash your ROM of choice in the same recovery session.
Before I flashed anything I would make a backup with CWM so you don't have to keep rooting and unlocking. You can just restore your backup.

After flashing 198 7 sbf, all u need to do is flash derpunlock not go through oem unlocking, then reflash recovery.
Simple generic process for going between roms (assuming already unlocked + cwm recovery flashed; process may be different for some roms, always make sure to read directions, but this is the general concept)
1. Download rom (and gapps if necessary) and put on your sdcard
2. Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup
3. You made a nandroid backup right?
4. Secure your nandroid backup (move it to your pc or something).
5. You know where your nandroid backup is right?
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Install zip from sd (flash), choose the rom.
8. Reboot system.
At this point your rom should be all set. If for some reason you don't like it, simply boot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup. You can even make nandroid backups of various roms if you want to swap between them for whatever reason.

[Q] Bricked?

Hi,
yesterday I tried to upgrade to CM7.2 from a nightly. As I've been doing, I put the .zip in the sdcard and flashed it with ROM Manager (wiping everything). After flashing it, my phone stucked at HTC white screen and there is no way to switch it on, it stays at this screen all the time.
For my disgrace, it's S-ON, so I can't boot into recovery and restore anything. I've tried to restore a nandroid with fastboot and it doesnt't work (says "Failed (remote: signature verify fail)").
Any ideas? It's definetly bricked? Is there any hope of repairing it?
Thanks in advance (and please forgive my poor english xD)

What do you mean you cant boot into recovery because you are S-ON?
All you need to do is put the recovery file other wise known as flakeflash "UPDATE.ZIP" into the root of the SDcard, turn off your phone (Pull Battery), then press the down button and power button together, wait for the phone to do its stuff, then select recovery in the menu, the phone will reboot into red exclamation mark, press volume up and power, it will then go into stock recovery menu and will then look for the "UPDATE.ZIP" if all is well you should then go into the fakeflash version of clockworkmod recovery.
Does it boot when USB cable is plugged in (soft usb brick)?

Thank you very much, now I can boot into cwm, but I'm having some troubles when trying to flash CM7.2 (or even trying to restore any nandroid backup).
First, when I try to install CM7.2, it does it very fast, without showing any error, but when I restart the phone it gets stuck again on HTC screen.
Then I try to restore a nandroid backup but it doesn't find boot.img, system.img and data.img, skips all steps and restores nothing.
My last shot, try to install the last nightly I used, fails at the same point as when I try it with CM7.2.
I don't know what else can I do, any ideas? I hope there's still any chance for my Legend (and again forgive my bad english xD)
A few points, make sure the rom zip file you are going to flash is not corrupt or incomplete.
Boot into cwm recovery,
Make sure to format the boot, system, data, cache & ext, it wouldn't hurt to delete the dalvik cache too before flashing new Rom. Just remember NOT TO FORMAT SD card.
Using this method I have always been able to flash a new Rom.

Prepare a new SD card in your PC (FAT32), put UPDATE.ZIP on it and a stock ROM, reboot into recovery, wipe all you can (factory settings) and flash the stock ROM, see if that works. If so, you could try to flash a custom ROM.
That is what I would try...
I'm too.
I can't up CookROm by Rom Manager,
but when i use ClockworkMod recovery, its OK

Messed up Streak

I think I have messed up, I just flashed to the Cyanogen 7.2 Rom, it flashed ok and the phone works. But so far I have a few problems, I am not unable to answer calls. When it rings, I need to unlock the phone, manually go into the phone app in order to do so.
I am also missing the notification bar.... I can't see it anywhere.
Another problem is I can no longer access the phone when connected to the computer as it does not have the option to allow me to use as usb mass storage any more. When it is plugged in pc will pick it up but the drive is greyed out.
Please help.

just do a factory reset (in the first menu), than flash again and don't forget to wipe cache partitation and dalvik cache, fix permissions aswell to be sure. If that does not work you can go with the QDL-tool. It almost impossible to completely brick your phone due to software, as only the -w command in fastboot could do that but it would not even boot in that situation...

Which of the first menu are you refering to? I am confused....
I have now entered recovery and just done a factory reset, let see what happens
1) Go into StreakMod and do a factory reset.
2) Go into the main recovery menu and do a factory reset.

I did that by going into recovery then I did a factory reset, after that it will just loop at the boot up screen. I had to take the battery out as it was hung for like 20mins. Now it's bricked and it won't even boot back up....
:crying:
Both should not brick anything. Try to enter the recovery again and do the factory reset (the first one now), and flash again. If it does not work get a fresh install by doing the QDL-tool all the information is on the forum.

in this case you dont need to use qdl tool... just streakmod recovery...
install either dsc 1.0 or longhorn 2.7 and see if it helps... everything should work fine with those two rom...
once it works... install kernel test 3... but be sure to install the correct kernel.... dsc, its own kernel... longhorn, cm7 kernel... and then fastboot 366 baseband for better voice, mic and telco cell reception quality

Think I may have bricked my prime?

I wanted to install a custom ROM for my TF201. So I downloaded the Energy ROM and placed it within the SD Card as update.zip
I flashed CWM and ran the Asus Bootloader Unlocker.
Then using Rom Manager rebooted into CWM, following on screen prompts I installed from SD Card the ROM. The install completeted successfully, the tablet restarted and showed the Eee Pad logo, but got stuck. I've tried cold booting from recovery mode, tried reinstalling the ROM but nothing is working. It is refusing to boot up properly.
Have I bricked the tablet, if so how do I fix it if at all possible?

Did you do an MD5sum check on your download? Also have you tried flashing another rom? And my third and final question did you wipe Dalvik cache, cache, and factory reset before you installed?
And this is more of a preference thing but I'd suggest TWRP over CWM. I've had issues on other devices with CWM but TWRP on the Prime is perfect.

I did a factory reset, then selected wipe Dalvik cache and cache.
How would I flash another ROM? I'm not sure how I can get another ROM onto the device as CWM cannot search external storage, only internal?
I was going to use TWRP but wasn't sure how to get it flashed onto the device, where as CWM was simpler. I didn't do an MD5 check on the ROM
EDIT:
Just tried using Fastboot USB to flash the official ASUS ROM(Tried latest JB and ICS 4.0.3), both write to the device okay but both fail
It says "FAILED <Remote: <>"
On the device it shows: Failed to process command flash:system error(0x170003)

It says "FAILED <Remote: <>"
On the device it shows: Failed to process command flash:system error(0x170003)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
IT LIVES!!!
Don't know how I did it, but I managed to get TWRP installed on it. Using Fastboot somehow or ADB. It booted into TWRP and mounted external SD card, then flashed an official JB ROM(the Prime was on ICS before) and it has now booted up fine
I will now try and re-flash a custom ROM again(a different one) using TWRP but it is all looking superb
I was worried i'd have to claim on the extended insurance I took out with the retailer
