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
Hi,
rename the update.pkg in update.zip and it should work.

The trojan you are talking most surely affect only the SDcard, a friend of mine had the same issue on a different device.
I would recommend installing a custom Recovery like Streakmod, flash 366 bb and a ROM like DSC, Longhorn or LXdroid, as those mentioned have the universal kernel that don't check the BaseBand.
Totally wiping everything is a must!
Flashing recovery can be done easely using the MultiFlashing tool provided in the Android Development section, so all this mess wouldn't take more than 1 hour (with reading and wandering if it's safe - it is safe, ia assure you )
Hope this helps/works
hey buddy, when I enter the recovey mode, and will install a new rom or another option, the camera button does not work. What can I do?
Thank you for replying

Well, i will update the first post of my LXdroid ROM with a tutorial, if you want a fully funtional with the least amounts of bugs i will recommend DSC ROM.
But this is not required if you want to keep the original 2.2 firmware, as almost all the custom ROM's that i've talked about are 2.3.x.
the tutorial will be written, Your choice

i think you need to replace the internal sd....
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1
once you have done that... just do the dell factory reset (white text black background menu)...
your phone should be able to start again

As far as i know, you can't possibly install update.pkg using custom recovery, you must install a stock recovery and after that you can flash the update.pkg as it is (update.pkg), changing the extension does nothing
Hope this helps.

light keeps flashing mean your baseband is not matched with the current rom... you should do the upgrade... it is in dsc thread if you read it carefully... it should say something like flashme ... :good:
you may try other rom as well.. if you are interested.. such as longhorn, ics, lxdroid

Search the forum as there should be an article covering the process. In short, you either have to take the Streak apart, or cut away some of the plastic above the SIM card slot to get to the internal MicroSD.

hi There
PLEASE HELP ASAP I THINK IV BROKE MY BELOVED X10
Im new to all this Mod stuff and i have no experience at ....... But I LOVE this Theme i found , its amazing!!!!!! so i rooted my phone using super oneclick, i then found RECOVERY, also got the theme [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM 2.0.2.A.0.24 + Battery Circle] [new-v0.6]
Installed everything it all and was great!! everything went smooth, but some things were missing on the theme like the new swipe button, the wallpaper, the new clock etc so...... i then installed a previous version [X.Gbread for 2.1 Custom ROM AOSP], thinking that version had the bits i needed and the later version i installed first was a add-on, and now the phone will not boot up, it gets past the Sony Ericsson but wont boot past the Nexus S Bootanimation, then it restarts itself, and starts all over again, i dont know what to do as i know NOTHING about flashing phones. PLEASE HELP
Phone specs - what i had before
X10i
2.1 Update1
build no. 2.0.A.0.504
Rooted with SuperOneClick
Also busybox
Many Thanks

************* update i can get the phone to the Xrecovery screen, ive tried reinstalling both of the themes but it gets to the lock screen and when the lock comes off, a box comes up with a triangle exclamation mark on it that says 'Weeks' on it and underneath it says "year" with a button that says "%1$s %2$s" and when you press it nothing happens apart from sometimes the writing year changes to years, after a minute it reboots and does the same thing.
does anybody know how i could sort this out???
Have i 'bricked' the phone?? if so what does that mean and can i sort it?? would i be able to send it in for repair??
or how i could i flash i back to the original SE theme, with out it starting up????
hopefully somebody can save me because at the moment i have not got a phone and i love my x10 sooooo much!!!!!!
i knew i should have just left it alone!!!!!!!!
Thanks Leon
i would recommend you to do
1. a full wipe using the recovery
2. re-install the theme u wanted. (perhaps u should re-download the theme u wanted)
btw, did u install using the option "install custom zip"?
if those above does not helps,
1. re-install the firmware using SEUS or flashtools from Bin4ry
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201&highlight=flash.
2. root it and install xRecovery and then install the themes u wanted.
You'll have to really flash. The problem here was that you mixed up to FW (.24 & .504) when you installed the first theme... it clearly says for which version it is my friend....
So reflash to any ROM you want but check first the theme you're aplying and also if you have Xrecovery do a backup before any Mod so you don't have to reflash again...
Have fun you're not the first nor the last with this I've been there done that more than once....

Hello guys,
I'd just wanted to load a custom rom om my girlfriends hero, but she did not liked it, and not all the contacts where in it. So i tried to restore it. First wiped all the things, and then did restore. After the restore i see HERO on screen but it won't go any further. What to do now? Is it something with Salsasense kernels verion and the old one? read something bout that.
Rom: Salsasense.
Old rom: android 2.1 update 1.
Edit: Can't read the sd card on my comp anymore when im in SalsaSense on my computer. Tried the card in my own phone (x10i) and not even working in there. So cant reach the backup now :x
Somebody pls help. TY in advance
Grts js
Up: Ok i can reach the restore files now. I have putted the "broken" SD card in my good old x1, and i could reach the files all of a sudden. But how can i make the hero go back into its old rom with restore?
Someone pls help.
Grtz js
Well hero still not working well...i wanted to boot cynagen mod 7. Placed it on the sd-card, but it wont install, it said error could not open sd card. and it said error 7.
Think the sd card reader of the phone is not good anymore?
Can someone pls help?
Grtz js
Ill try to help. This side of the forum is too quiet. No one seems to have any clues on how to help. What did you wipe specifically? I once wiped the battery info on the recovery and ended up doing just that.
If not, then sometimes when you wipe other things besides the factory reset it ruins the rom. So its good to try and flash it again.
Well i wiped all the stuff that where in the manual, so i first wiped data/factory reset, second i wiped cache and as last the dalvik cache. Like it should. I tried couple times to flash it again. no use. Tried Cynagen mod 7 few days ago. Could not flash that either ( see last post )
At least thnks for you post.
Problem still not fixed
Kick!
Hmmm which recovery r u u using?
First try a full wipe then choose the downloaded rom from ur SD card, check that it is properly downloaded...flash then reboot,just incase its a recovery error download cwm or amon ra n keep it on SD card n flash it...

Further to this, is the MD5 checksum matching the original?
Edit: Could it be possible that your computer deleted the .zip extension from the file when you downloaded it? (I'm reaching here)
Have you tried running the official RUU (to install the official ROM) and once that is done re-root the phone?

Hi all ,
I already know that i'm a noob so forgive my question.
I have a LG P500 unblocked. The SIM card is of a spanish carrier but I think that doesn't matter.
The problem:
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991
Everything ran ok until here "Flash Custom ROM" - Step 7. Everytime I turn on my cell he just get stuck in the silver lg logo. Just that! After reading the guide 300 thousand times, i notice that I haven't installed the CWM, because there is no indication whatsoever in the guide to install it, so it's impossible step 7 to work, right?
So, where I can download the right CWM for this phone and how can I install it manually in the sd card? Which folders I need to create and if it should be in the root or not.
The ROM that I've copy to the sd card (unzipped) it was this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325386
It brings already the "gapps.zip" file, that is referenced in the step 6.
Please don't tell me that the phone is bricked.
The "Emergency Mode" is no good! It's just a yellow screen with small black letter saying: "Emeregency Mode!" and the keys don't work.
So can anyone help me, please!
Thank you very much!!!
follow this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15309588&postcount=2
but to answer your question directly, you can download rom manager from the market, which will allow you to flash clockworkmod recovery. once it has been flashed, reboot into recovery, and direct your phone to the file of your rom (it does not have to be in the root of the sdcard; the rom file should be zipped, not unzipped)
however (once again) i think it will be much more clear if you follow that guide.
root and install through rom manager
or
you can directly flash cwm recovery following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318750
Hi ,
I'm really a noob...
First, one million thanks to mak.3736 & sweetnsour.
Now continuing with the saga as follows:
This run it sweet - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1318750
I was able to install CWM and make all the backups necessary but... of course other problem has to arise... following the same guide from before, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991
in step 9 says: "9. Wipe Data/Factory Reset, wipe cache partition, & under Advanced Settings, Wipe dalvik-cache, then format all partitions EXCEPT /sdcard.". I was able to format all the partitions except one called 'sd-ext'. I try more than once and gave some error but didn't pay much attention. Anyway I continued following the guide and try to flash this time this ROM 'Harmonia 1.7 (Aphrodite+Picasticks)'. And again happens the same! When the phone boots get stuck on the silver lg logo (I waited 10 minutes because I know the first time a new ROM loads can be quite slow). And again I have to restart in the CWM mode and restore from backup to the stock ROM!
Sorry sound annoying but any ideas of what's happening? What can I being doing wrong?
Thx in advance!
Sorry...
Just one small detail which I think strange and don't know if it's normal...
When I'm navigating in the CWM mode, in the bottom of the screen this info is present:
'ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
E:Bad boot message
"recovery"'
This bad boot message, what is this? It's important?
Thx again!

Sorry sound annoying but any ideas of what's happening? What can I being doing wrong?
Thx in advance!

if i remember correctly, harmonia is for the optimus v. you cannot flash optimus v roms on the optimus one. you can only flash roms from here, (a list of roms can be found here)

Sorry...
Just one small detail which I think strange and don't know if it's normal...
When I'm navigating in the CWM mode, in the bottom of the screen this info is present:
'ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
E:Bad boot message
"recovery"'
This bad boot message, what is this? It's important?
Thx again!

this is normal. just ignore it
If I'm not mistaken wasn't bumblebee a rom tailored for the OpV but someone got it working with OpT...I'm probably wrong and I sure think I am, clarification? But adding to what sweetnsour gave you, also look under ciaox thread, its a complete breakdown of roms from 2.2 to 2.3.7. Its in the android development section under stickies. Also the thread comes with many other things ie..kernels and tools. Sweetnsour's thread is great as well though

Do an Hard Reset before flash ROM
Sorry only answer now...
First, thx to terratrix, sweetnsour, Jrhodes85 and Raffy 97.
Second, sorry for my dumb assumption that any ROM for LG could run in any LG Android phone...
So I can only try to flash a ROM built specifically for the LG P500. Got it! I will search on the ROM's list. Any in particular that you guys recommend?
I'm looking for a ROM with a lighter boot, better wifi connection and in which apps like gmail, yahoo mail and facebook don't get jammed. I also want to remove the tweeter aplication, netlog and specific lg applications from my phone because I don't need it. And the possibilty to apply skins. And not have three different applications for weather and news.
So, suggestions?
Thx in advance!
Get cm7 by mik os .....6.5.8 =)
Then if you manage to successfully install the ROM f flash fserves kernel =)

Hi all ,
Just to say that I'm testing the ROM Oxygen ROM 2.3.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325386
Some problems with bluetooth...
The rest I will test in the following days. But I can say it's faster and lighter.
And I have 4 screens... It's possible have 5?
Thanks
Hello Fellow XDA'ers
Today i started rooting my SGS II with CF-TOOL for XWKK2 and that worked. secondly i tried to add a theme from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131746 so i installed it by recovery mode. i started up my phone again and it says cant load TW.Launcher.Connect or something. I was like oh. so i tried to put on a new theme from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154278 and now it sticks on this screen: http://www.google.nl/imgres?q=how+to+see+galaxy+s2+root+check&start=406&um=1&hl=nl&sa=N&tbm=isch&tbnid=LrkiHyngL3wLOM:&imgrefurl=http://www.elakiri.lk/forum/showthread.php%3Ft%3D1217605&docid=syBKpqoQsy7huM&imgurl=http://recenthottestnews.info/wp-content/plugins/RSSPoster_PRO/cache/d8dfa_rootingsgs5.jpg&w=620&h=465&ei=UqUZT7buH8Gh-QauvbWhCg&zoom=1&chk=sbg&iact=rc&dur=1721&sig=108334096676297027967&page=12&tbnh=179&tbnw=210&ndsp=37&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:406&tx=67&ty=66&biw=1647&bih=928
i was hoping if someone here with more brains than me could help me,
thanks in advance.

The first link modifies a whole heap of files, and the second one modifies far less files but also doesn't have a version for stock (odexed) KK2. What did you flash from the second one?
Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is that they're not really comparable.
Easiest way to get back to a working state is to reflash your ROM or restore a nandroid backup if you took one. Messing around with trying to undo whatever you did might take a while.
Well i tried to install the theme throught recovery mode and now it stops there however i can get in download mode and recovery mode. I hope you got some more information for me so i can fix this
thanks for replying anyway

1) With rooting u also on stock firmware and not on Rom, which for theme is
2) Ur second link is for JKay Deluxe and this isn't a theme like u think, it's a modification tool for notificationbar, lockscreen and Power-off menu.
3) This screen is the normal bootscreen after flash (sign because not originally firmware [root])
I don't know how long u wait, but after flashing the JKay .zip it's normal that boot take some time (up to 3 min).
If u already wait so long an didn't boot u have to choices:
1) Flash original firmware again.
Search here and flash this like root via odin (READ INSTRUCTION!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
2) Because cf-root u should have the CWM (ClockWorkMod).
- Go into Recovery Menu (Press Vol- ; Home and the Powerbutton 'til Logo like in third link appears)
- Then Choose Factory reset and after this make a reboot
If system isn't crashed in all u should get it work again, if not u have to choose point one.
If works u can choose a rom from here (like one u see in my signature), copy file on sd card and flash it via CWM (Go again in CWM and then "choose .zip from internal sd card">"flash .zip from internal sd card">then select .zip)
Much success. If anything unclear just let me know...
CHEERS

the above poster told you exactly what to do. if you have a backup rom just go into recovery and revert back to that and problem solved. no more to it. no need for any extra info but anyway if you say you have found a way good luck my friend
