Dell keepin me out of fastboot and messing with clockwork etc !!
hi there just been having the same problem for the last 2 days i was told that clock work mod wont work with dell streak ?????? look @ this line http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
to boot in fast mode hold the camera button in and press the power button in @ the same time then tap fast boot mode also i have attached a file witch help me also here is a link what helped me 2 n8 when i bricked it in some way lol
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=78
thanks for that info...i have just started reading through the streakdroid forums and QDL Tool (with drivers) sections...been at it a few hours...am really tired now...time for a rest before i do BRICK it lol......tried some other dell driver but no joy....usually always stick to my flashing in windows XP..for 32 bit and USB compatability but this is driving me nuts....thanks again....ive read read read and reread the pdf file.....
No worries i know what its like i was up till 2a, yesterday trying to do the same and 2 n8 got things working put a file on and it sort of bricked it and i have just sorted it out 20 mins ago
You have XP 64 bit? Isn't that a bit like a mythological beast OS that only exists in fairy tails and Redmond?
Hope you got this sorted out.
sorry should have read windows 7 64bit..only use xp in 32bit mode...all updates installed.
just trying again now...have uninstalled everything dell / drivers...used USBdeview to uninstall already set Android ports and old Qualcom ports from where i flashed my 3 usb stick, and the 3 drivers and software....downloading, again, the android 2.2 drivers and pc suite from dell.....will try again....i see 2.1 users and 1.6 users seem to have fastboot drivers working and clockwork mod....so will start playing all over again ..... at least the night is young!!!
oh bugger this im tired of going over things..guess the 319 version wont let you have proper drivers to "mess" around with the bootloader..ill revisit some time in the future
oh great decided to start again using a factory reset.....now all i get is process com.android.setupwizard has stopped unexepectedly. please try again..
cant get anything but a blank screen cos the setupwizard did not complete..
groan...
UPDATE 1345GMT.....downloaded Streak_319_12792_21.pkg .... renamed to update.pkg.....copied to root of sd card....booted into recovery and selected update from package.....am now back at 2.2 update and screen working...phew....now to spend rest of day setting it up again lol...wonder why doing a factory reset wont clear the caches?
I'm assuming you have sdk setup? If not give this a go great write up.

Sent from Re-Engineered dInc
no not used the sdk files...just the official update which is downloadable....no probs..
Also..update....i have managed to follow the instructions and install StreakMod even though my Android Bootloader device is still not started..Different commands there than what i was using to try n put CWM on.....ill see how that goes...at least im making progress and have saved the Official 319 update package in case i need it another day!! thanks for comments and help on this irritating buisiness...
ALL SORTED NOW..APPARENTLY TO USE FASTBOOT YOU MUST INCLUDE THE DEVICE CODE SO THAT FASTBOOT KNOWS WHAT IT IS TALKING TO!
IE THE FULL PROPER COMMAND LINE IS fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
CONSIDER THREAD CLOSED..THANKS TO ALL
Hey guys, I have one little problem.
I'v tried searching the forum and through google, but never found a correct answer for my situation.
So, here is the thing. I'm trying to put Cyanogen on my Xperia Mini. I have installed the Android SDK and Flashtool (well copied to the tools, edited the system path...blahblah)
When I run the "adb devices" in the promt, I see my device listed.
But, when I boot him into fastboot, the "fastboot devices" command don't want to list him up.
I did installed the fastboot driver, some sources leaded me to this link ->
Code:
multiupload.com/0XZV1LXRVA
and the driver installed successfully, but like I mentioned already, "fastboot" don't want to list my device.
Anyone have some tips, or even a solution how I can fix this problem?
Sorry guys if this question was maybe posted already, but really couldn't find it
Simlocked?
Bootloader unlock.
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk
A friend of mine gave me his x10i phone to play, so i decided to follow all the proper steps to get the device rooted and install 2.3.4 on it.
I have downloaded the flashtool v 0.5.3.0, but it does not detect the device. I have also installed the drivers on the system from flashtool\drivers folder
When I click Check Drivers, i get the following output:
12/041/2011 16:41:47 - INFO - List of connected devices (Device Id) :
12/041/2011 16:41:47 - INFO - - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_612E\CB511ND245: OK
12/041/2011 16:41:47 - INFO - List of ADB devices :
12/041/2011 16:41:47 - INFO - List of fastboot devices :
Another problem I have is that Debug mode is on, but the flashtool always says it is off. I tried all i could including upgrading the stock rom from sonyericsson site, but at this stage, I am ready to give up. I do not see anyone else is experiencing this problem.
Any advice is appreciated.
screw the drivers in that folder
install the legit ones from the SE webstie
install the PC Companion and it will do everything for you
then try. If does not work message me or reply here
tried it all from scratch at home on windows 7 (first attempt was at work on XP).
At home everything worked fine Thanks!
do you want Unlocking you bootloader?
try my way, its stands in my signature.
I think i was able to unlock it. In fact, sorry, I do not know what "unlocking bootloader" is, but what makes me think that I've done it is that i was able to flash Doom kernel with wifi and one of the custom ROMs on it. Also I got root access on the phone. Recovery console (CWM ?) is working too.
Correct me if i am wrong, but this is as far as i can go with this device and nothing else needed to crack/install etc.
One issue i noticed is that GPS does not work and settings are just not there, but i guess it is a ROM/kernel related question which i will explore further.
unlock bootloader
makes it a lot easier and nicer when you install a custom rom
um
use flashtool
under plugins category
So I've been following the bootloader unlock instructions on the Sony-Ericsson site and when I have plugged the phone in and the instructions say it should ask me for drivers it just plays the driver install failed noise, so in device manager I have the S1Boot Fastboot listed but when I point the driver update wizard to the adb folder where the driver is it just says it cannot find it. Anyone had an issue like this or knows how to fix it or have I done something completely idiotic because it's 6am and I haven't slept for 2 days?
you need the google usb drivers (android sdk) good luck !
Yeah I got past this bit and have the phone unlocked now but during the proccess my camera, lockscreen and a couple of other bits have stopped working and I can't simply revert back to the original software as sony's tool won't allow that. Also can't find a clockworkmod recovery image for the device so have no clue how to put the cyanogenmod nightly that's out on.
Can't you use flashtool to flash a stock rom ?
Yup, all recovered now.
It would be much better if this most essential of sites for people mucking around with there android phones had a section for the Xperia Pro, there are already plenty of threads for the device but they are spread over every other Sony section and makes finding the thread that will help quite difficult.
All Further updates will be handled in this other thread
Pre Req:
1) Make sure to install Pantech PC Suite as it will install the correct drivers you WILL need
2) Install ADB and Fastboot

IOMonster saved the day here, without him you would have to wipe your phone and install modified leaked firmware to get root.
Very glad we decided to not release the initial root, sorry
If IOMonster wants to explain he can, I would prefer not to however.

On phone:
go to settings > Applications > Development > turn on USB Debugging
On Computer:
1-Download and install Pantech PC Suite from c724062.r62.cf2.rackcdn.com/PantechPCSuite_1.0.10.3314.exe

FYI,
I've tried uot.dakra.lt UOT Kitchen couple times so far and have been ale to change the font of the device and the color of the glow for overscrolling but my time and other icons up in the status bar disappeared (the "AT&T" still shows up there though). The Backup and Restore in CWM does work nicely though to get me back to before I installed the zip from UOT Kitchen. I'll try 1 mod at a time using UOT kitchen and see which is making the icons and time disappear from my status bar.
EDIT: I did notice one issue with CWM backups. The backup I did today saved the folder name as "1970-02-22.03.14.56". Some reason the date is wrong in the file naming, should have started with "2012-04-13", right?

For those having trouble with a missing driver I followed the below instructions and installed PDAnet (I did so while in fastboot mode so I could see the drivers install) as soon as it installed and the drivers showed installed. I went back and uninstalled pdanet (leaving the needed drivers behind)

I solved my problem by referencing to part II of the following page:
theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/Describe
Be sure to download two programs PDANet and USBView (which you may not really need but it's a nice little program).
It's suppose to be "stupid easy" to root PANETCH Burst, but who ever said that left out that it's not so easy if you don't have all the proper driver on your computer. Anyway, so soon after the fastboot mode is brought up, you should notice the computer is telling you a new hardware is found. This is when the burst switches from PANTECH's ADB driver to something else, and only way for the command "fastboot boot prestoroot.img" to work is to find the proper driver for the new hardware call "Android" in the device manager. Now you want to install PDANet, and as soon as the installation process begin, it'll find the driver for the device "Android." and install the driver for you. Once the driver is installed, the installation process will tried to install whole bunch other things into your phone, but I really don't think it can install them in fastboot mode, so you'll probably want to terminate the process. Now type command "fastboot devices" and you should see some kind of output telling you that it's recognize the "Android" device. Now, and only now you can follow the rest of "stupid easy" rooting instruction.

This method doesnt but sim unlock is currently also being worked on.
Is there a Mac version of any of this software?
Is there a Mac version of any of this software. I understand all of this started on a PC but does that mean Mac users are forever out in the cold ? I own a Pantech Burst and a MacBook Air. I don't have access to a PC nor will I in the future, in so far as being able to use any of the software referenced here.
Any suggestions?

I think tfranzman is referring to Pantech PC Suite and Android SDK. The Android SDK I believe has a Mac version but I do not think the Pantech PC Suite has a Mac version.

they were asking if any of the software we are using would work on a mac. the answer is yes depending on what software you are refering too. the pantech suite (which has been useless to me with the exception it installed the drivers for me) is windows only. I had actually gotten the drivers originally at work by using pda net. The information I gave above is what I came up with after a quick google search. I'm not sure if that or pdanet for mac would have those drivers.
and again this thread has ended. please follow the links in my Signature (Burst love for discussion or burst essentials for rooting information
I keep tring to root this phone but phone gets stuck in the fastboot mode and does nothing what can i do for this?
