Factory reset the phone with stock recovery. Flash streak mod recovery, clear all caches. Install 1.9.0 streakdroid.
Sounds like you just keep flashing roms on to of roms without doing resets or anything like that.

recovering Streak
My Streak was completely bricked, would not even get the Dell logo, I went to this link http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
and got back running, since then flashed the 318 baseband, then the other days flashed the 351 baseband, and have flashed StreakDroid 1.9 I dunno how many times because I reset and install and uninstall apps,

what if im having a hard time gettin into recovery mode?

I had 2.1 installed and working with root and then got a little jumpy and put the latest 2.1 (build 8023) release on it. That worked. I wanted to root the phone, but the androot app did not work even trying it twice. So I grabbed superboot and it installed, but now the phone won't proceed past the dell logo. I can get into fastboot mode fine, and can work cyanogen recovery great. With a stock recovery, it shows a black screen on option 2 trying to install the Update.pkg.
Any suggestions? The phone is essentially "soft bricked" at the moment.
Help!
Thanks,
Rick
Try this worked for me

If the above doesn't work there is another post floating around on Google which has different commands to run for flashing the stock recovery. From what I remember instead of just flashing the Rom, you can erase the other partitions prior to installing the recovery. Send me a pm and ill send you the files which finally unbricked my phone.

What I would suggest is to flash the J12 update through odin and see if that works. If that works, after boot up, go back and flash original rom back with odin and see if that helps. You should never click on repartition through odin because the instruction does not advise to do that when flashing a rom through odin. Hopefully you did not mess up your phone.
You probably need to follow 'eugenes froyo that doesn't brick' method. Do that first then odin to stock. Ind this should be posted in general or q&a

1) This should be in "Q & A" or at the very least "General".
2) What ROM were you using that you are flashing back from?
3) Did you have any "lag fixes" installed?

Make sure your flashing the stock JDF because the JI6 doesn't contain all of the files, and if that doesn't work flash the "froyo that does not brick rom" by eugene that is in the bible then flash the stock JFD rom

When it say wipe data it doesn't wipe the built in memory it just wipes the partition where the OS is installed. Make sure you don't have voodoo lag fixed installed or it will hang up every time, I have used this method about 6 times to unbrick and have never had an issue. I followed the instructions to the letter and it has worked perfectly every time, but I would need more info on what rom you are coming from and what lag fix or what you have installed if all fails try the above mentioned fix with froyo that does brick.

launch your phone into recovery mode and delete everything-cache and all user data. i reinstalled the packages and then rebooted the system. its working without any problems now.
Fixed it!
OK, i ran into this exact issue yesterday and fixed it. This is what I did.
First flash Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick with Odin.
Went through steps one and two. Don't worry about the sdk thing.
Now you should be in recovery mode. Pull the battery. Get back into download mode. Now flash, [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working). This got me out of trouble. I hope it works for you.
installing the froyo that dosent brick resolved my issue!
thank you for all your responses and help
Moved to Q&A
Anybody know where I can find this eugenes froyo that doesnt brick? Seems gino decided to remove the dl link for it n I checd his site but didnt c it, so im hoping theres like a mirror or maybe sum1 has it saved or something. Well anyway im able to flash the jk2froyo but it wont wipe data n then it wont let me dL any apps bcuz it says sorry not enough space.
It took some googling but I found it here
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8
Having problems with Odin, bah... trying to get my phone to work but always getting the "Data Write Failed" in red error.
EDIT: Haha nevermind got it to finally work after flashing Eugene's Froyo then stock JFD, guess I was using a different/wrong version of Eugene's Froyo haha damn I'm so relieved!!
I'm having a similar issue. Can someone give step by step instructions on how to fix this, please. I'm able to boot up, but then it give an error that says i have no space for apps. I check the application space and it just says 0.00 MB. Please help
Hi people
The support for the streak is crap. not enough people chipping in on making it as good as it can be. im in the middle of trying to port over themes to the streak so we can all have a better looking experiance. but for some reason after flashing nothing apears to show. even when editing the res of the original rom package and installing the rom again the changed pngs dont show up? the strangest thing is the one i deleted are showing up? dj_steve hasnt been online and im impatiant so is there anyone else who may have a answer to this
I would like to see Streakmod Recovery working properly without having to jump through hoops just to get a nandroid backup to work.

I just had my first try at nandroid, running streakmod, 1.9.0 with 351bb and it was finished within 3 minutes, no issues.

He is referring to bb 347 btw... so your post means nothing to him.
Ok, here's an overview of things for those unwilling to read the Streakmod Recovery thread.
I upgraded from 347 to 351 without a hitch. This includes the baseband. Streakmod Recovery hangs at fastboot but is otherwise functional. This is apparently a common issue with Streakmod, and one the developer I believe is unlikely to fix.
Clockworkmod's menu screen appears if you have the right version, but you cannot select anything. Clockworkmod force closes and reboots the phone. Other versions result in a black screen, requiring you to pull the battery to restart the phone.
The only solution given was to essentially put Streakdroid on the phone and then flash over that with 351. That's not a solution, but a workaround. Not acceptable either because as I made clear to the person who proposed this solution, I shouldn't be required to put something I don't want on my phone to get something I do want.
Any questions?

I had streakdroid 1.9.1 installed on my rogers streak, I had quite a few issues with it and wanted to revert back to stock rom.
once I unrooted and factory reset I flashed the stock rogers rom via fast boot with the right recovery image.
one done I get the dell logo on screen and it stays there FOREVER.. like its been on the logo screen for over an hour.
What am I doing wrong and how long should it take to install and what not.
I might not have all the right info in here Im a newbie sorry in advance
Envious1
so I loaded the streak in fastboot mode
then on pc went to cmd and made sure I had the right recovery img in the folder and the right pkg file on the sdcard
put in the command and installed the recovery img
then the streak reloaded and I went to update.pkg and it did that
android system recovery utility - GAUSB1A13500
Press the shutter button to start emergency software recovery
ect...
now its stuck on dell logo.. how long should it take after an hour I rebooted and it went directly to white page that said emergency sofware recovery start.
what should I do.
you could flash 1.9.1 again, that will save your phone.
You could keep trying to flash a stock rom and eventually it will work.

how do I do that. via fast boot because I cant even boot into the dell only fastboot

Basically do what you did when you installed streakdroid 1.9.1 into your streak.
Then retry the stock recovery and rom again is, what i think eSZee is trying to say, correct me if i am wrong.
so I got 1.9.1 installed back on but now when I boot up and select dell stages I get a whole bunch of errors and closes it.
do I need to update the baseband is that my issue? if so how do I do that.
SD 1.9.1 breaks the Stage UI. DJSteve doesn't like stage and has no interest in it. Posts in the 1.9.1 thread have said that if you remove Stage from the Streak with 1.9.1 and then use the aps to re-install it it will work. YMMV and I don't use Stage or 1.9.1 so this is untested by me.

Dell UI is laggy ... you will have better experience with the other lauchers.
