i just got my dell streak and so far when i press the start button i see the dell logo and then the screen just hangs there (black) until i remove the battery. I tried to charge the battery up to full but i since i do not see a battery charging indicator i really dont know what to do with it. help
everything is stock, i dont even know if its GB or not since i havent been able to start it up It's a rogers phone though
Tried a factory reset

yeah i tried that. i also went into fastboot and it says on the bottom "default nv checked #2" and i cannot click on the fastboot option. When i press the volume rocker up or down the screen goes dark and then comes back in a little bit saying that the "screen calibration FAILED"
i did however succeed one time in getting the screen calibration to "pass" and then i was able to press the fastboot option. From there i used the DSC installer "flash" exe and it updated the phone. Then after the reboot i was able to see the lock screen but unable to press any buttons.
im figuring
1) the touch screen is defective, hence iam unable to press anything and thus the screen calibration keeps failing
2) the connect to the touch screen is broken or lose and i might need to open'her up to see
3) fack it, ill just tell rogers to send a replacement.
So far ive done step 3 but since its the weekend, i felt like tinkering.

Ok So my TFP starts out of the blue rebooting on me from time to time. and then i had to reboot it like 3 times or more to get it to where when i slide to unlock that it would actually unlock instead of have the lock circle on the unlock but never go any place then it would reboot by itself. i got stuck in a loop where no matter how many times i rebooted it got stuck on lock screen and rebooted. so i hit the reset button and jumped in 5.8.2.0 and restored from a back up. it booted up but i noticed that i my home key and setting from the right side did not work. and the lock screen does not come up any more when i turn on and off the device. Anyone have this problem? seems no matter what rom ive tried same results. lock screen no longer comes up right side quick setting no longer work. i did wipe everything before flashing. also for a side not tried to restore to stock image from my backup and got error while it was trying to put the data folder back. ive always used the 5.8.2.0 so not sure what the hell is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Almost feels like there is a problem with my primes memory.
I used my phone this morning and it was fine. A few hours later I went to use it and it would not turn on. It is fully charged. I am running go launcher. I usually don't get asked which launcher I want to open it with when I wake my phone. But that screen flashed very quickly but I could not choose as the screen went blank very quickly. The screen was blank but the back button and the home button were lit up. I hit the power button so many times but nothing happens except the the 2 buttons lighting up. I went into recovery try to boot from there but nothing hapeens. It just goes to the HTC screen and hangs there. Its been on that screen for 10-15 and then I go back into recovery and still nothing. I tried to do a factory reset. It went to a screen with a picture of the phone and 2 green arrows going in a circle and a green down arrow inside the circle.
I have no idea what is going on. I have not done anything new to the phone. It is stock and I got Kit kat on it a few weeks back. Everything has been fine up until this morning. I understand the go launcher could cause a problem opening up the phone. But I don't understand why I cant do a factory reset from recovery. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks
I also noticed that in the bootloader the very first line says 'LOCKED" is it supposed to say that?

Okay I need some help to fix my phone because somehow I did something to my phone it really did not like. I will try to keep it as short as possible.
Since last week I was running liquidsmooth nightly LS-KK-v3.2-2014-10-13-umts_spyder on my xt910 and it was running as smooth as it could get.
This morning I decided to simply reboot the phone for no particular reason, battery above 90%, it shut off, it turned back on, showed the motorola logo and then a black screen. nothing else and I have not been able to make it show anything else.
volume+, volume- and power button in every combination, result in the same situation.
on the black screen I can press volume keys to make it vibrate but I am not sure what it actually does.
windows recognizes the device as motorola usb composite device and an MTP XT910, so far so good. Even RSD lite shows it as xt910 and connected though all device properties (IMEI etc.) are N / A and flashing results in "phone could not change to fastboot mode"
I found a similar problem described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767469 (especially the last post).
Since the last reboot I installed plants vs zombies 2 and reinstalled google chrome, nothing else has changed.
I can't get into the fastboot menu to select ap fastboot, I tried doing the right steps at the black screen blindly but apparently it is not the same screen.
I am pretty clueless what to try next and I am not even sure if the phone is still being charged when I connect it to the charger.
sooo what to do?
thx a lot

You have a black screen but the phone isn't really turned off...
When you see that black screen,press and hold the power button until you see the white line flashing for a moment,like on Tv,that means it's turned off.
Immediately after that press all 3 buttons,vol-,vol+ and power button to get into the boot menu and then choose AP Fastboot from there.

interesting, first turning it off by holding power allowed the three-button combo to bring up the fastboot menu. thanks a thousand times.currently flashing sbf image
:highfive: worked

just a quick thought, is it possible that I provoked the black screen by using liquidsmooth on the system1 slot?
Not likely. Liquid Smooth has been in my #1 slot for quite a while. (Not stock side, just 1st slot on safestrap....)

So i was just forced to install Lollipop by Sprint. I was having a minor S-Pen issues and Sprints "FIX" was to update me to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Well now I have 500000000 other issue with my phone. Most i can live with, but there are 2 in particular that at driving me absolutely bonkers and I cant fix. I was hoping someone around here would have an idea how to fix it without me having to root, and go back to the previous OS. (The Sprint Root seems a little intimidating and I cant afford to brink my phone even for 20 minutes).
The main issues I am having are regarding the lock screen. I cant get the lock screen to stay open more then 3 or 4 seconds and if I botch my pattern or don't swipe fast enough, the screen will turn itself off. Then I have to turn the screen back on and try and unlock it again. Sometimes the screen even turns off in the middle of trying to unlock it. It is EXTREMELY annoying having to try and unlock my phone 4 or 5 times just to get to the notification screen ...... As for the Notification screen, once i finally am able to get my phone unlocked, then when i try and swipe my notification bar the phone will sometimes turn the screen off as well, then I have to go BACK to trying to unlock the phone and try and do everything faster then 2 jack rabbits banging in order to just get to my notifications. Its become a major problem in that sometimes I just cant get the sequence and speed right for 10 or 15 tries.
Anyone else having these issues or have a fix???

I can't say I had any problems like this. I was running Stock rooted OC5 for a while and had really no problems with it. I didn't have any pattern or pin unlock though, so maybe it would have been different? I would have stayed stock but my Flashaholic took hold and made to start trying out other ROMs.
As for rooting, I have found it very easy to root this phone. I haven't had a problem either using auto-root or flashing superSU.
Factory reset is easy.

before a factory reset, you might try doing a wipe of the cache partition.
turn your phone off
press and hold, Volume up + home key + power until you see the blue booting to recovery mode message
wait for recovery mode to display (the menu will show after the green robot)
use the volume rocker to move down to wipe cache partition and press the power button to select it.
now select the yes line and press power
now reboot your phone and see if that helps with the lock screen behavior
good luck

You should read more before trying to root
Hi all,
I got this Xperia M5 that's been giving out warnings about memory being full and I suppose it finally gave in. It only partially boots after like a full minute of showing you those blue waves. When it 'boots' the screen is black and nothing works, except you can see the status bar with just the battery icon, no-SIM icon and the clock.
Weird thing is when the device is powered off, you can press the power button once and it'll display a large battery indicator which shows the percentage normally-- I've seen this go up from 0 to over 90 something incrementally.
But when it's 'on' the way I just described, the battery is always at 0% with a red ! next to it.
Anyway, when it's in this weird half-life mode, you can actually pull down the notification bar normally, and tap stuff as well. Flashlight works, you can see an actual WiFi list (nothing happens when you connect) etc. When you launch stuff through here though, like settings, it won't open anything. It'll make the sound as if it's launched something but the remainder of the screen will still be black.
Using the dedicated camera button, I can access the camera. It works (sort of), meaning you can see the camera display where the screen used to be black. And it immediately says "system process is not responding," so I'm guessing this is a system issue where it can't load basic stuff like the homescreen?
Whatever you do or don't do, it stops responding after a couple minutes and shuts itself off.
Stuff I've already tried:
- Safe mode (volume down + power), just 'boots normally'
- Recovery mode (volume up + power) done that for over two minutes, does nothing or just 'boots normally'
- Hold down the tiny yellow 'off' button under the SIM/SD cover, did nothing.
- Xperia Companion: PC won't recognize the phone either in that zombie state, or when it's off, so I tried 'device cannot be detected', shut phone down, held down volume down button, connected USB still holding down, waited for a while and viola, nothing happened.
It's factory OS, never messed around with it and I don't know the version (could be 5?).
Any ideas?
Guys at this point all I'm wondering is if anyone ever managed to brick a phone that's as semi-responsive as this one, in the history of bricked android phones anywhere.. I mean how could it be bricked when you can (sort of) boot and even open the camera?
you said it boots in download mode?

No I wouldn't say download, it's weird-- there's the status bar at the top and soft navigation keys at the bottom, but the homescreen in between these is black. I tried tapping this black area to see if stuff is there logically but you just can't see them, but there was no interaction, no sound or anything.
I am able to pull down the status bar to reveal the usual buttons and such, like I mentioned before you can turn on the flashlight, click to see a list of available wifis etc. But you can't access settings through here, I mean you tap settings and the main part of the screen is still black.
The only way to get the screen to work is to open the camera through its dedicated button, where the camera display works normally, you can switch cameras etc. Tried accessing the gallery through here but it didn't work.
I just don't wanna buy a new phone when this one doesn't seem bricked at all. If it like didn't respond at all and nothing appeared on the screen I wouldn't think twice before buying the first phone I see on Google.
im afraid that you have to flash stock rom again if you will boot into download/fastboot mode.but your problem seems strange.what was the last thing you have done before phone stuck like this?

Not my phone but it'd been going on about low memory for a while now. I got the PC to recognize it once in that zombie state, so I'll try that with Companion if I can get it to half-boot again. I'll post updates if anything happens.
