Streakmod install issues
Hey I have a Dell Streak on ATT (unlocked) that I am trying to breath new life to its 2.2 Froyo operating system. I am trying to flash DJ Steves Gingerstreak 2.4.4. I found what I believe to be simple instructions once I have StreakMod installed on my Phone. Can anyone help me get this set up? The link in this post seems to be spam, some sort of video player.
I have loaded Streakmod on the computer, have been sucessful with CDL tool and the initial root from 1.6 to 2.2. But I have to do something till I can swing the new G-note
any detailed help on getting/installing Streakmod up and running would be great.
Thanks
Ramhvac,
Better skills searching would be of great aid to you.

Marvin, you are too kind
Ramhvcac,
At least you know to use StreakMod and not cwm/rom manager
Thank you, I was expecting to get some crap(Marvin), so I put on my big boy pants before I posted, But I have been so busy that my searches have been sporatic and not continous. I am hoping to have Gingerbread on my Streak this weekend.
again thank-you in advance, for your help.
BIG Trouble with GingerStreak update
Ok, I have flashed the amss and dsp1 files, installed the txt file, re-booted and went into streakmod recovery and loaded Gingerstreak 2.4.4. The phone booted up after 5+ minutes the update seems great except phone does not work.
I get the message"The process com.android.phone has stopped working unexpectedly. Please try again".
Any suggestions? the phone does not seem to reconize my sim card.

Did you do a factory reset?? (not in streakmod / clockwork)
Do it from dell recovery..
Not sure why people still install gingerstreak anymore. fards left and it seems support has stopped??
Thanks so much. I've tried it with my streak official rom 2.3 and done it without any problem. In my opiion,this is the easiest way to do.

Hello,
I bought a dell streak from ebay yesterday running Streakdroid 1.61. Everything was working well when i received it, but I couldn't get access to market because the orignal owner's gmail account was linked to the device. I registered my gmail but it was still not giving me access. I decided to remove his account and the phone prompted that some apps were linked to it so i needed to factory reset.
Since then after flashing Streakdroid1.61 it showed unser clockworkmod recovery menu: E: CAN'T FIND MISC.
After searching I flashed Streakmod Recovery but no matter how many reflashes and reboots and resets phone gets into a continuous booting loop after getting to android logo screen. I feel like trying my hair out. Haven't been able touse my new phone and I have read and tried lots of solutions from here and modaco forum but no joy.
Please help me somebody.
Thanks
Why don't you start off with the QDL Tool and get to 2.2 v305, from there flash streakmod recovery, boot up, download 1.61 or what ever Rom you want. Then reboot and install from zip on SD card. that way you get it from scratch and not have to worry what the other user did to it.

Use the StreakMod recovery instead of clockwork. It's modified to work with the Streak.

Most likely the stock ROM was replacing StreakMod and when you install 1.9.0 it does not replace StreakMod.
What is probably good for you is your baseband may have been updated with the order that you did the install. This last part is an educated guess by me.
Glad you are working now
I had same problem. This worked for me.
Thanks to Gopu on Modaco.
"the issue is with the recovery gettting overwritten everytime u boot with the stock recovery
You can prevent the overwrite of the recovery by renaming the file install-recovery.sh to something else. It's in /system/etc. I just added.bak to the file name."
Hi all,
I was installing custom roms back in the xda 2 days but eventually moved over to iphone and now im swtiching to android. (I love the new site by the way!)I have an (o2) streak arriving tomorrow and would like to get the best out of my device.
I have tried my best to do my research over the past few days before making my first post and now I have some questions if I may...
To flash a rom I need to:
1. Install fastboot
2. Root device using androot or superboot
3. Install clockworkmod recovery
4. Download rom and flash to device
If my device comes with 1.6 I need to update to 2.1 first.
Roms...
The ROMs I have come across so far:
- O2 2.2
- Custom Streakdroid by Djsteve http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=26
All others that I have seen seem to be in alpha.
So am I right in thinking that streakdroid is the most advanced but stable rom so far?
Is there any backup tools / failsafes that I can use before starting all this?
Do I need to worry about baseband? Do I follow this?...
"IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE TO THE BELOW BASEBAND FOR 1.5.1+"
If somebody let me know if I've understood the above correctly and if I'm ok to proceed with flashing tomorrow?
Any help is greatly appreciated and it's good to be back!
Just update to stock 351, I find that to be very fast and super stable.

Thanks for the reply,
I have done some searches and it seems stock 351 is the latest non-custom rom. Is this what I will recieve from o2 in the OTA upgrade? Am I not missing out on a load of extra features if I use this instead of a custom rom?
Thanks
Go for steves rom i am on o2 uk flashed the 351 a bit slow 4 me went back to the streak savier u will love 190

I carried out all previous steps and now this is what I've done:
1. copied update-1.6.1.zip to the root of sd card. It said I needed to copy a .pkg but the streakdroid package comes in a zip so i copied that on instead.
2. Installed the recovery image
3. Booted into recovery menu and selected update via update.pkg on sd card.
Now the streak has the Dell logo with an ! exclamation mark and it's just sitting there. Have I done it correctly? It says it takes 10 minutes but I'm a bit worried because there is no progress meter there.
Some one please let me know if I've done the right thing as I'm too scared to touch it now in case I brick it!
Thanks
Ok i figured i had to press the power button to get the menu but now i cant get the menu back! Every time I select the option it tales me to: android system recovery utility
When I try to do a recovery it says verification failed...any pointers?
It depends on what you have done so far. You are best starting with the latest official update for your phone using system update, then installing the fastboot drivers on your pc, installing new recovery, either streakmod or clockworkmod and then installing djsteves over that if you want a custom rom.
Instructions for each step are evident in forums, but If you require further assistance, just ask

Thanks for the reply. I flashed the recovery again and it allowed me into the advanced menu again which enabled me to flash. It's all working now but I have just noitved 1 thing....
I flashed with update-1.6.1.zip from http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15 but have just found update-1.9.0.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003525
Am I right in thinking that I have just flashed with an older version? If so, I will do it again.
Another question...if I flash with a new rom I must lose all my data?
When it's on the dell exclamation screen you press the power button to bring up the recovery screen.

And NOw all of a sudden it Worked and is On But I Kno if I shut it off it's Gunna
Happen all over again...
Is there anything I can do now that the phone is on to insure this isn't Gunna
Happen again???
I would suggest you try to boot into fastboot and flash stock recovery and then flash stock 351 ROM.... AFTER it boots up then go back to fastboot and flash streakmod recovery and immediately boot into streakmod recovery.... instead of using StreakDroid 2 I would suggest you run 1.9.1 for better stability... once you flash it boot into recovery and do a FACTORY reset... not the one in Streakmod and then let it boot
How would I go about this
I need like a step by step
To everything you just said I get lost wen it
Comes to recoveries and fastboot
The only way I know how to get in fastboot
Is power and camera but that's not working
A tutorial would help out so much ... Sorry for the bother but thanks for the help

Alright So I Believe I Made Progress to a Road Block
I Ended Up Just Installing Streak Droid 1.9.1
And the phone will go ahead and start up ,Sometimes, ( Otherwise it Just BootLoops, ) and work then if you
Play a game or something it freezes
Okay whatever so I was gunna try and flash StreakMod Recovery
And I managed to get the Phone in Fastboot Mode
But I tried flashing StreakMod Recovery and it Hung at Sending Recovery for a long time
So I just closed it because it wasn't doing anything
okay So I Tried restarting it and I'd get a Failed Unkown Error something like that
Idk what to do anymore I keep getting this boot loop and freezing when I get
In the phone,,, is there any solution for this maybe go all back to Stock and Start from Scratch?
Idk how to go back to stock so i would need help with that
I Appreciate any Help
Not sure what happened here. But basically took a totally stock US ATT Unlocked streak and tried upgrading to the Gingerbread 2.3.3 version. Upon doing this, everything flashed correctly but I was stuck at the Dell screen-15 minutes. Pulled the battery and same thing, pulled it again and it actually started loading up. It loaded up and immediately force closes a bunch of things. Tried flashing it again with no luck. Tried flashing the latest ATT recovery with update.pkg and again, stuck at Dell screen. However if I flash CWM and load a custom ROM, it will load into the ROM but immediately force closes everything and it also isn't reading my SIM card. What the heck did I do?! Please help
could we have more details about your flashing procedure?
Have you done a wipe of the dalvik cache and a factory reset? Skipping those two are the most common cause of FC's.
Sorry guys. Initially. I installed the fast-boot drivers, got the phone in fast-boot mode and recognized by the PC. Gather the correct files and flashed the 407 recovery, rebooted and then flashed the update.pkg through the stock recovery manager.
After this failed. I flashed CWM. Wiped it totally and then tried two different custom roms and also installed the amss and dsp1 and still both would instantly start force closing.
I'm a desperate move I did QDL last night and everything was successful, however I attempt to install the latest stock recovery and update.pkg and I'm still getting stuck at the Dell logo.
Try the recovery from 360.

From my understanding. QDL sets the phone back to 305 recovery to be flashed. Should I try installing that, or as soon as QDL finished install the 360 recovery with the 360 update.pkg?
flash the 360 recovery in fastboot mode, reboot into recovery mode and install the 407 update.pkg. After it is installed do a factory reset.
That method isn't working. I flash the 360 recovery in fast boot and loaded the 407 update to the SD card and renamed it. Upon flashing the update I get a "error in SD card \SDcard\update.pkg.dec"
Do I need to add that extension or what's going on here? I'm using the files provided on the Dell Wiki Rom list btw.

On the wiki page there is also a link for hashes. Click on it and compare the hashes listed with the hash for the file on your local computer. If you have a bad DL the hash will not match.
If the hash matches then try using the 407 recovery, instead of the 360.
Also see this post in case you are coming from 347. I guess that there are issues updating from BB 347.
The easiest way to generate a hash for files in Windows (IMO) is to use the HashCheck shell extension. You right click on a file in Windows Explorer, select properties, and then a tab to view the hashes for a file.

I've followed everything you just said. I've checked hash files and all are matching. However when you talk about 347, I QDL'd and it put the recovery back to 305 unlocked.
I try to update viaSD card immediately after but it says it can't find the update blah blah. So from 305, I want to flash the appropriate recovery either 360 or 407 and install the 407-update.pkg correct? Then after it reboots from there, do a factory reset? I feel as if I'm very close, just gotta find the right tunnel. I do greatly appreciate all of the help thus far!
Here's a little update to bring everyone where I'm at.
I QDL and then flashed the 407 recovery. Grab the 407 update, rename it and put it on the SD. I flash via update from SD card, everything goes by. It reboots and I'm still stuck at the Dell logo.
After about 15 minutes of this, I pull the battery and then it goes to "Start recovery copy" and then reboots. Then brings me BACK to flashing the stock recovery but this time wants me to flash the 305 recovery??

If you flashed back to 305 with the QDLTool and can get to fastboot I suggest:
Put the rom file on your SD Card. Make sure it is named update.pkg.
Use fastboot to flash the recovery that matches the ROM, in this case the 407 recovery
use fastboot reboot from the command line to reboot the phone and hold down both volume buttons as it reboots to go directly to the 407 recovery you just flashed. Do not let the phone boot normally or you will have to start over.
Now select the second option to update to 407.
This will wipe all settings, apps, ect., from the phone.
---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------
I believe that we cross posted. If you have done the steps in my previous post and are still stuck when you flash the 407 recovery also flash the dsp1.mbn and amss.mbn files for 407 then reboot immediately to recovery and do the update.
The phone is pretty much dead now so I'm going to let it charge before I give it another go.
But I believe my problem is dsp1 and the amss files. That's one step that I have not done yet. I think I'm going to QDL again and from there do as you stated.
I did have one question though. My phone was factory unlocked, through all this, is that unlock gone?
Thanks again and I will report back with the results!

From what I have read flashing a ROM does not effect the unlock status. I also have an unlocked Streak but have never used it with any other carrier except AT&T so I can not comment from personal experience.
FIXED!!!
I'm back in business!!!
I used the QDL streakflash then the QDL repair tool. Didn't feel like messing around with all those update.pkg's and stupid recoveries so I just flashed CWM recovery, flashed the basebands for Ginger Streak 2.4.4 and it's back up and running!!!!
THANKS A LOT to everyone that helped. I've lost tons of sleep over this and have been up all night trying to get this right and it all paid off. I'm happy
