What up everyone.
So here is my problem. I finally decided to upgrade to DJ_Steve 1.4.6 last week. I first went to O2 2.1. Then flash the clockwork recovery, flash the 2 files (amss and camera fix), and then flashed 1.4.6 and got stuck a Dell logo loop. Then tired to flash his 1.1.1 first, the two files (amss and camera fix) and I still was unable to get past the Dell logo loop. After trying the methods posted to get past the boot loop (none worked for me), I tried the QDL Tool and still was not able to get there due to a fastboot driver issue (which still has not been resolved). I'm using Win 7 64bit. I followed the QDL videos to the T. Here is where my new problem began. I just uninstalled the ADB driver and reinstalled it then ran the QDL Tool and it failed again at fastboot. Now my streak is stuck in another loop that I have not seen before. Here it is....
After powering on, I get;
Dell logo
white screen (wait for factory reset)
Dell logo
and then its starts all over again.
I tried to get into Fastboot (power + camera) but I can't. I also tried to reinstall the 8105 2.1 update.pkg from SD (both Volume + power, option 2) and I still get the loop.
I am not sure what I did but I would greatful if someone would walk me through this issue and get me on DJ_Steve's 2.2 1.4.6 or at least back to OS 2.1. I've been at this for over a week.
Thanks in advance

I am having the same exact issue here.
I am just now jumping into this and I am waiting on a fully charged battery, hoping this is the issue. ( I am at 40% now)
Have you tried installing with a full charge?
thanks.

No I haven't. The flashing of the Streak has really been more challenging than any other device I have ever owned. I am also waiting for the battery to charge. Going to try something new and will let you know if it works.

Instruction Guides are always useful. One thing, Do you need to reboot after flashing 1.1.1 before your flash 1.2?
And
Okay!!! the Streak flash file worked. Weird that the QDL Tool from streakdroid did not. just follow the instruction and you will golden.
THANKS GUYS!!!!! My week of torture is now over..
well i have a version 347 build no 15274 and i tried to root it and then it got stuck at the dell logo so i did a factory reset and that didnt help then i tried to use an update.pkg and always got signature verification failed, so i booted into fastmood and started flashing different recovery images and basebands, and nothing worked the last baseband and recovery image i flased was 111 so i tired to use the update package for the 111 and that doesnt seem to work. so i tried another factory reset and now everytime i attempt to get into fastboot i get stuck in a factory reset loop with a white screen with factory reset text reboot white screen reboot on and on...and every update.pkg i try doesnt seem to get anywhere but a blank screen and this is very fustrating i have been at this for 10 hours straight please help!!!!
Of course you must make sure you have installed the correct recovery that matches with the .pkg you are using...
When it boots up, hold both volume buttons, then choose factory reset from the First menu. Then do it again.
If that doesn't work, you may have messed something up. Look up QDL tool for the Streak and try to upgrade that way.

There is a post about a bricked streak in the General Dell Streak forum. There are links for the QDL tool and instructions there.

and now situation going worst witch I struck on recovery mode and can boot up into normal one (after install rom and reboot it always show up reboot to recovery mode) but still can go to fastboot mode by quickly press&hold the shutter botton after reboot
The internal SD card on your streak may be bad.
To find out start fastboot mode.
When you have the small touch pad on the right enter *#301#
This will start a internal test of the SD Cards. Everything should pass.
If it fails you need to replace the internal SD card.
I had this issue before and that is what the problem was for me.
Hey All,
I was trying to install GingerStreak 2.4.4 from GingerStreak 2.4.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333010
According to the instructions, I flashed
amss.mbn - http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/amss.mbn
and
dsp1.mbn - http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/dsp1.mbn
(got both the files from the first link above)
Then when I tried to reboot into Bootloader (Power+Vol Up+Vol Down) but nothing happens apart from the Dell logo being displayed.
I try to boot normally, still stuck at the Dell logo. The phone never even reaches the boot animation.
I try to go boot into fastboot (power+camera key)mode, but the phone never even boots. The screen stays off, so do the LED lights.
I figured out that the files downloaded above were incomplete(due to slow speed Chrome showed incomplete files as download complete).
amss downloaded: 111KB. Actual Size: 15.41MB
DSP1 Downloaded: 250KB. Actual Size: 8.94MB
So, I flashed the wrong files.
Now, I guess, the phone is bricked big time.
I need big time to get into fastboot mode (to flash the correct files) or anyhow get my phone working.
Guys, need help. Please help me out and get this issue sorted out.
I don't know the details but search for instructions on either streakflash or qdl tool. That may get you back.

Use Streak Flash tool to recover your device.
Hi everybody, please help! (Sorry for my bad English)
-I have a Dell Streak 5 (Unlocked Version) installed Android 2.2 from Dell.
-I tried to upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.3 using fastbook. Everything work fine, and then I tried to Root my device, Streak working fine even I turn off and turn it back on.
-After a week, the Dell cannot connect to the internet due to Network Connection error. I tried to turn it off and then it stuck at Dell logo when I turn it on.
I spent over 10 hours to fix it but it still stuck at Dell logo.
-Please give me your advice (Include steps are perfect) any advices will be appreciated.
*What I tried*
1. Installed Dell Drive ( Windows 7 recognize my Dell Streak via Fastboot)
2. Tried Retail ROM 360 and 407 with suitable recovery downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5
3. Tried Custom ROM
Longhorn 2.1V2
Longhorn 2.1v1
Longhorn 2.2v4
Longhorn 2.7_Red
All are from http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/ROMs
And Custom Rom 407 (Don't remember where I downloaded this firmware)
*When select update.zip (Custom Rom) it take approximate 5 minutes to display a confirmation. After I accept the Rom installed, a new line say installed complete, but the Dell still stuck at Dell logo. I do not know what recovery version suite with those custom ROM above so I download the two latest version and tried them all (Recovery 3.27 and 3.28beta)
*When select update.pkg, it does not show me anything except the black screen with light (I mean it look like a screen with Dell logo but there is no Dell logo in this case)
*One more problem, the Dell won't charge, I plug it to USB port but some time it display 0% battery and turn off automatically.
Addition Information:
Modem version = GAUSB1A1136000
OS Version = GBUSB1A134700
Battery Charge Disabled (Do not know how to turn it on in fastboot)
Charge-State 1%0%, (While I am look at it now it raised to 3%0%)
Thanks.
did you do factory reset (dell) and wipe ?
I followed these step below.
How to Flash with a COMPLETE wipe
1.) Download zip file to SD card
2.) Reboot in Streakmod Recovery
3.) Make Nandroid Backup - I skip this step because nothing to backup
4.) After backup, install Longhorn_2.X.zip
5.) Perform wipe data/factory reset from SM Recovery (blue letters)
6.) Reboot and perform a Dell Factory Reset (white letters)
7.) Phone will reboot. First boot can/will take a few minutes.
Sources: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355878
I am doing those steps above again.
1. update.zip file is on SD card now.
2. Press and hold Camera and Power button until "white screen" appear and select fastboot
3. Run those command in CMD
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
[recovery.img is a custom recovery latest version 0.3.2.8 beta]
Press and hold "UP" and "Down" volume keys after reboot command line.
3A. Select update.pkg (Dell recovery) after a couple seconds the screen change to Custom recovery screen.
3B. Select custom update.zip
4. After finish the screen say
" Mounting system!
Extracting Packages
I'm Still Extracting!
Symlinking Files
Setting Permissions!
Extracting Boot Image!
Done!
Now do a wipe data/Factory Reset and Dell Format!
Install from sdcard complete."
5. I press "Arrow button" to go back to custom recovery screen and select "Wipe data/factory reset"
After "Wipe data/factory reset", the screen say
"Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format... ( Is this normal? )
..... There are some line say Cannot mount... and Invalid Argument.....
Data Wipe complete
..... There are some line say Cannot mount... and Invalid Argument....."
6. After "Wipe data/factory reset" I select "Reboot system Now"
7. Press and Hold "Up" and "Down" volume keys while system boot up.
8. Select "Factory Reset" (Dell Recovery)
--- The Dell Reboot and Stuck at Dell logo, 3 keys sometime flashing---
Am I doing a right way?
While Dell stuck at Dell the computer can recognize Dell Streak.

Seems to me that something happend to the internal sd card, could be that there are some bad sectors on the card.
Everything that you did is ok. That's why i thinc is the card.
I did a "SD & SIM Test" on fastboot, it seem Internal Card and External Card work well.
Internal SD
Card Size 1903Mbytes
DMC/Datatest: Pass
By the way, do I need to insert SIM card in?
Flash a stock recovery.img and then flash a stock ROM

Flash the amss and DSP1 files for the 360 in fastboot
Boot into recovery and flash the update package again
If you do that and it still won't boot and the qdl tool won't work either then you definitely have an issue at least with the inner SD

I do not know how to use "QDL", I am using "fastboot"
By the way, I am using Windows 7 64bit, do I need a "special" driver? so far, my computer can recognize the Dell.

Have you tried this MultiRecoveryFlasher v0.8

After it gets through flashing, AS SOON as you see the DELL logo then press the volume buttons and go into recovery and select factory reset.... In other words after it flashes don't let it try to boot without doing a factory reset

I thinc is the memory card, it has a problem a bad sector or something, you should try to replace the card if what cdzo72 said doesn't work.
I tried more than 3 times with 360 ROM. 1 time it ask me to confirm after select update.pkg, and the rest does not ask me to confirm, just black screen in approximate 15minutes and then reboot, after that stuck at Dell logo. I tried to use another external SD card. Custom ROM can recognize it but it's still not help.
They mean the internal card hiding beneath the plastic in the battery compartment. You either have to disassemble the Streak or cut away a section of the plastic to get to it.

I have a question, What Rom are you ultimately trying to get installed? Lets start there and come up with a plan.
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?
