Please help me.. reboot loop - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI,
My dell streak gets stuck on dell logo and then reboots again and again. it was not rooted and was working fine on froyo 2.2 O2.
Ive tried installing the update package from recovery mode by selecting install update.pkg from sd card but i get an error saying e:can't mount update.pkg.
After searching i performed an memory test from fastboot; Sd card test passes but the internal memory test fails and gives an error: Cmd/Data test fail. a few days back my computer had a trojan virus and it was converting the folder into shortcuts. I dont know for sure but i think it could have been the cause of this problem as i plug my phone to the pc almost everyday
ill be glad if someone can help me through this. plz can some1 help me through this.plz i really need my dell streak working ill appreciate any kind of help... Thank you

Download a fresh copy of the stock ROM that you need, rename it update.pkg and place it in root of /sdcard
Flash a matching recovery with fastboot
Boot into recovery and flash the update.pkg
Once you flash turn off Streak, boot into recovery and do factory reset

^^ I am having the same problem. I have tried everything like doing the factory reset after flashing, but of no luck.

All you can do is keep flashing and factory resetting or use QDL tool

my friend, if you still can go in to the recovery mode and fastboot mode then you need to reflash and reinstal the rom. but if you cant go to neither that two, or you can install recovery but then just a blank screen, if so you need to do a safe mode and do a streakflash thing then retry the fastboot and recovery. ask google or search on this forum for how to

Brick or not? You tell me

So, i was in the final stages of loading a custom rom to the eris, as ive done a hundred times.. finished it, rebooted the phone, edited nam in cdmaws.. rebooted.. now im effed.. the phone will show the three android skaters.. and then vibrate 5 times and turn off and then it just sits there with a black screen and green light flickering at the top, i have to remove the battery to get any response from the phone, hitting the power buttin, and then it just does the same thing.. ive tried master wipe, its successful, but when the phone reboots, i get the same result.
it wont talk with the pc so i cant communicate with it..
and ideas? ive honestly done more eris's than i can count.. well, my quickbooks can count it for me.. but thats irrelevant..lol
its just this one fone im having the issues with.. hard reset is successful in its process.. but no successful in fixing the problem. and i have no other ideas.. i have access to the sdcard and have tried starting over at the PB00IMG.zip point.. and no luck..
you fix my problem - i got a trigger happy donating finger.. (im very generous)
you cant boot into recovery, wipe it, then flash a new rom?
i can boot into recovery and either fastboot - which lets it talk to my pc, or recovery, which is the stock recovery option, and it fails.
i can load the PB00IMG.zip from the sd card..
i wish there was something i could put on the sd card - for the normal stock recovery to recognize and install.. i dont know why i lost my custom recovery it doesnt make sense..

Take the sdcard out of the phone and put it into a usb reader?
Have you tried formatting the sd card? I know in the early days of root some people were having problems with the .zip being read, they formatted and worked with no more issues

[Q] Is my streak bricked?

I was using Type Fresh to change system fonts on stock 2.2 rom. Fresh type didn't tell me to reboot like it was supposed to. After manual reboot, it stopped at the Dell logo screen.
The factory reset didn't resolve it.
I found the update.pkg from the xda streak wiki. I can flash it successfully from the sd card, but at reboot, it still stalls at the logo screen. I left it there for several minutes, and it was still was stuck there.
yes but its a soft brick you should be able to fix it with a bit of reading here on XDA i would recommend the multi flasher tool it is easy to use but installing the drivers i think was a little difficult so yea bud good luck also did you try factory reset
Yeah, factory reset was the first thing I tried...
I'd run the QDL repair tool on it. If you can get your hands on it.
If not try the factory reset a couple of times consecutively and remember to give it plenty of time.
A factory reset of the DELL android system with all the junk they have in it can take up to 20 minutes to boot

Stuck on Dell Logo
Little note on what I had done to unbrick Streak from Dell Logo.
I had few trouble getting 2.2 installed
1) turn off
2) press both vol keys and power
3) select "Update from update.pkg from SD"
4) (re)Install update.zip (Steves) using Clockwork
5) Reboot and press both vol keys
6) "Factory reset"
tada!!! thats how I managed to get pass the Dell Logo.

Thanks for the tip, I read in some other threads about 3 mins. But last night I let it flash from the sd card, and left it to reboot overnight while I slept. This afternoon, I turned it on again and it worked!
Thanks!

You can't install 1.9.0 with the stock recovery so you would have to tell him all the steps to get into fastboot and flash a custom recovery.

[Q] Restoration Issues (SD card and factory reset failure)

Hi,
Issue: After rooting my Nook Tablet I inadvertantly rebooted into factory reset. I cancelled the reset but after this point whenever I boot the device the following occurs:
The nook copyright screen appears​The reading forever screen flashes for a fraction of a second​The download/restore indicator with the green arrow appears for a fraction of a second​The nook tablet logo appears with an exclamation mark with the instruction to "Please restart your device and try again. If you encounter the same issue please contact customer service ..."​
Attempted Fixes: Naturually I have tried rebooting resulting in the same process being repeated. I have also tried the acclaim_update.zip sd fix but have had no luck running it from the sd. I have also tried the 8 x reboot method to no avail. Any attempts to use adb have thus far failed (the device is not even detected properly).
I understand that everyone is busy but if anyone has any suggestions I would be much obliged. I do not live in the US so returning the device is extremely difficult. I run Linux and have an XP virtual machine available.
Thanks for your time
Have you tried booting cwm from an sd card and then reinstalling a stock rooted rom like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488035
Unfortunately no luck booting cwm from sd - I have not managed to get anything to boot from sd. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Did you try to boot from sdcard while connected to your PC with the USB cable?
Sent from XDA premium using my Nook Tablet
Update: Issue resolved - I ended up using AdamOutler's Ubuntu Wipe, which did hang indefinitely on the 'Overwriting sys with zeros' stage but did actually result in a factory reset.
Thanks to lavero.burgos and nba1341 for their assistance. I did successfully manage to boot CWM off an sd (my mistake was not formatting it as a boot partition), however I was unable to successfully flash any roms. Anyway I'm back to normal and ready to try again. Thanks all!

really messed up....bricked the phone and need help!

I have searched and searched and searched.....nothing seems to work.....
I was messing around with my phone (latest update and rooted). I was messing with rom toolbox and was trying to change the theme...
Bottom line, phone is stuck on the M screen (dual core screen)
I tried to do a hard reset but it didnt work... Just goes back to the same screen.
any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!!
Thank you in advance
Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have CWM installed by any chance?...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
nope neither
from what you've said it would appear that you've changed something whilst in rom toolbox and as such it won't boot up.
You say you've got the latest update and I am wondering if this means your bootloader is locked now? When did you update your phone? when you start up the phone are you able to get in recovery? (volume down when starting up).
Anything I could suggest is going to be full of dangers (sbf flash for one).
Barry, the phone was updated a few weeks ago. I believe it was running 2.3.6
Any thing that can be done like sbf i am willing to give a try....and yes i messed up in rom toolbox
Soft Bricked my phone
I did the same to my phone as well. I had updated my phone from neutrino 2.7 to 2.8 through CWM. When I booted up for the first time, it worked fine but when I did a factory reset through neutrino, it booted up and then got stuck on the boot screen.
The phone was unlocked and rooted but for some reason usb is not being recognized in the pc, CWM is not loading up and RSD lite wont recognize phone because it is not running Blur. I tried using various commands on fastboot and adb such as fastboot devices and adb device but I dont get anything back..the device seems to stuck in perpetual bootloop. I can get into fastboot and RSd but it is stuck on starting fastboot protocol suppor..
The one bright spot is that LED comes on when i plug in USB without battery meaning the phone is being charged by USB just not being recognized. I tried installing all the drivers and reinstalling them but I usually get a device error on computer which is a 64 bit Windows 7.
I think I am F#Cked..can somebody help me..
theoretically, since I can get into fastboot cant I just go to recovery and wipe the data and then install a update from the SD card?
I would just need to unlock the bootloader right?
it was running the 4.5.141 update.
I can get RSD to show up on the phone and it does connect to the computer.....
FastBoot does connect to the computer

why not give it a try? if it does not work, flash the 4.5.141 update via RSD Lite, if you get into bootloop, push clockwork recovery via fastboot, then boot into recovery wipe cache, wipe davlik cache, wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. if you really can't get it to work you can send it to me so I can try fix it, that is if you would trust me. Just pay for return shipping, you can use usps flat rate box with signature confirmation so you'll know i have received it. I have previously helped a guy in Dell Streak Forum and I have lots of positive feedback in XDA Market place, i just love helping other out, flashing ROMs and fixing broken/bricked phones. Just PM me if you are interested.
I have made progress!
I have managed to unlock the bootloader with the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
I am still stuck on the same M screen still, it just says unlocked now.....
Where do I go from here?
Looks like all I need to do now is find a way to get the rom onto the sd card so that I can flash it with clock work recovery.....
I tried to mount my external 2 gig card and do it that way but it didnt work....
Any other ideas?

[Q] Help ? Bricked Tab ? GT-P3110

Hello, I was trying to reset my tab completely and I wiped EVERYTHING. I have CWM version 6.0.1.0, My tab gets stuck on Samsung logo screen. It can go into recovery but nothing else. I was told that the reason it won't boot is because I deleted the rom and there is no rom for it to go to. When I try to mount it, it doesn't show up...I've tried to install CWM 6.0.4.6 zip from external SD but installation gets aborted. PLEASE HELP I NEED MY TAB BACK ! Also it shows charging when it's turned completely off...

When you say mount it do you mean trying to send the files over through ADB or just mounting the SD card or putting it into download mode?
If its the ADB issue, try to put your tablet into download mode by using the volume key and power button, then download odin and its stock firmware and flash it using odin. Your tablet should restore to factory defaults using that method
If its the SD card then use the method above as it sounds like recovery may have lost it a bit
If you can not put the phone into download mode (which i doubt is the issue you may want to think about a USB jig as they sometimes get past those issues but from your description I doubt its a hard brick as it gets to the logo
2 things you can try!

I really new to this, i mean writing to help people, so don't flock me.
First, you say your device still have the recharging lights on when shut down, it tells me it's not only a software error, but some short circuit has happend.
Have you tried a hardreset? search google for your model if you doesn't know how.
From what i can read you still have the CWM Recovery, so download Android-SDK and try flashing the recovery from ADB (Found in platform tools.
Last but most tricky, if nothing helps, you' have to disassemble your device and temporary disable the battery, them press and hold the start button down for 5 sec to remove the poweroverload, reassemble again and try ASB adain, you can't reinstall the recovery directly from the SD
