[Q] Dell Streak 5 Problem - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] HELP !!! Streak wont read SDCard to flash Update.pkg

hi
I ahve downloaded a pkg from dell and want to load the phone back but i am just getting errors
it says it cant mount the SDCard:Update.pkg
any ideas ??
This is the wrong section bro. Are you using the stock recovery?
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA Premium App
If you are trying to install from recovery rename the package to update.pkg. This will wipe all your apps and settings.
You must use stock recovery to install a .pkg file.
You may need to flash the proper recovery first.
See: Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
Note: if you downloaded direct from Dell tapping on the download complete notice in the notification should start the update process.This will update without wiping your apsp and settings.
followed that guide and when it should be installing from SD i get the following
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
sorted now, that guide sorted it, but had to change SD Card it was not working in the streak but was ok in the PC.......
anyways... I have never been so happy to see the O2 screen in my life

I had same problem with SD today. Windows PC doesn't format card correctly for phone. Remove the external SD card you are currently using. REPLACE WITH CARD THAT WONT WORK. Reboot phone until it will reboot completely. Go to SETTINGS==>SD CARD & PHONE STORAGE==>UNMOUNT SD CARD==>FORMAT SD CARD. Card will now work in Streak. MAKE CERTAIN YOU DON'T FORMAT THE CARD THAT IS WORKING!!!!!
I've had this same problem, I can't flash anything. I've tried to flash 1.9.1, because I only have 1.9, and I get the same error. I -have- tried changing the name. Doesn't work. Can anyone give me a complete step by step to fix this?
i got it solved
so... this is how it's happened to me.
when i reboot the streak after i fastboot flashed the streak with streakmod recovery, the recovery will be back to stock recovery. so... i have to delete install-recovery.sh from /system/etc to prevent the streak reinstalling the stock recovery, before it succeed to boot android OS.
so i flashed to streakmod recovery and reboot it to go into recovery mode and plan to choose "update from sdcard".
and when i tried to choose the update.zip from sdcard, there's error message:
"can't mount /sdcard"
so, i think that maybe because my sdcard was plugged into PC and got 'half-mounted', so recovery can't mount it.
so i powered it off, eject and re-insert the external sdcard again, powered it on and go into recovery mode, choose the superuser.zip to root my streak... AND... TADAAAA.... i'm all rooted

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

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.

cant mount sdcard

cannot post in the correct thread in developers as i am a noob member but following the noob thread when i get to the step to mount the sdcard in recovery i cannot. i keep getting the error
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
(no such file or directory)
what exactly are you trying to do? a little more info would be nice. you said you are trying to mount in recovery? for what reason?
Aren't the SD Cards auto mounted in Amon-Ra recovery? Wouldn't that error be due to the fact that they're already mounted?
Use Amon-Ra or Clockworkmod; While in recovery mount SD card.
I had to restore my laptop back to original factory settings for it to recognize my phone.
had nothing to do with the rezound, my computer woulndt install any new drivers..
if I had usb debugging turned on the computer wouldnt find the sd card or internal storage, as soon as I clicked usb debugging off, bang found sd card. I suggest trying this.

Can't do anything with Streak

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?

Read through this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405920
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.

You need to format your sd card to use
First connect the sd card to the computer and copy the files
Then format sd card to fat or ext4 or ntfs (not sure which one is supported on your device)
After formatting, copy only the required files into the sd card and then try to access recovery.
And then try to install a zip.
If you still don't get, then try to change recovery and use some other custom recovery and try to flash again.
Press thanks if I have helped.
PM me if you don't get it working properly.

That custom rom is the problem. I can guarantee it.
If you have the image of the stock rom, you have more chances of accessing your tablet.
I think you can use ADB. I personally never used ADB before. So you can search on Google and Xda on how to use it.
