I've already read a billion posts here and on other web pages but of no use.
I ws running android froyo on my dell streak which I later upgraded to a custom ROM (gingerstreak) with base 2.3.3
Now I ws trying to change from the custom ROM to the official gingerbread ROM by ohlle. I used fastboot mode to do so. The entire process went fine however when my device booted after the update.pkg was installed, it got stuck at the dell logo.
It does not go into fastboot or recovery mode. QDL tools don't detect my device. It doesn't even switches off from the dell logo screen. I have to pull out the battery to reboot it only to get stuck at the dell logo screen again.
Please help me
Did you try to do a system restore?

i get the same problem whenever i try to install .pkg. you just download the update.zip file from the below link provided by the manni. install the recovery of update 406 then flash the update.zip you downloaded, it should work.

I think you need StreakMod Recovery to flash .zip files. Stock recovery to flash .pkg files.

yes streakmod recovery is definitly needed, but still you'll get same problem if you try to install update.pkg, but if you flash update.zip it'll surely work... telling this as per my experience with same type of problem....
most important I think.... we cannot flash .pkg file using streakmod recovery if i am not wrong ?
i am sure OP means he CANNOT access recovery/fastboot with the usual buttons combination and just stuck at DELL logo.
i know because i also have the problem at this moment. dunno what to do..
QDL tool failed, Streakflash failed,
so help plss
Same case here...

When you say "I used fastboot mode to do so" did you perhaps type in "fastboot -w" or "fastboot -erase" at some point? If you didn't then something became corrupted within the Streak. In any case, try to recall exactly what you did and post it.
The symptoms you describe point to one of two things that I can think of:
1. The Streak is bricked and will require someone with a JTAG device to resurrect.
2. The internal MicroSD has become unreadable and needs to be replaced.

It would be easier to diagnose if you would be more specific.
Please copy-paste the command you gave and response you got.

smokku's right, does it say 'fastboot' on the streak screen?
Is the device in fast boot mode?

phone is in fastboot mode and says as much on the phone screen. what i am currently trying to do is flash back to 1.6 and the guide i was following said flash stock dell recovery. i downloaded the stock recovery file and in cmd i typed
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i was in the correct directory and the recovery.img file was there
the cmd then says sending recovery.img... and sits there. it doesnt fail it just does nothing. ive tried flashing several different recoveries including the clockworkmod recovery and i still get nothing but sending...

still getting no response from fastboot. i had this problem before and i just kept unlplugging the usb and reinstalling drivers. but its not working for me this time
Right the way to do it is download the recovery image from the last link download the stock recovery from here
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...1-6-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/
open them both up
in the r1-4399-streak-recovery delete the RECOVERY and copy over the recovery from the other file and rename it recovery
put device in fastmode and start the windows batch and the recovery will install
If i ever need to install a stock recovery just install it into the r1-4399-streak-recovery rename it recovery and it will install every time

well i finally was able to flash recovery, boot, and system after a reboot of my pc and phone and reinstaling drivers before each flash. now im stuck at the dell logo. ugh...
update: was able to flash to stock 02 1.6 rom. via the link lufc provided (thank you) i guess i'll have to retry flashing back to stock att 1.6 after a few more people have tweaked it and make an update.pkg for it.

Yeah i got stuck at the dell log a couple times before it successfully flashed. I think something is up with fastboot not properly writing the files because i'll flash the clockworkmod recovery 3 or 4 times in a row with no result. give up on it and flash stock recovery then when i go into recovery mode, its the clockworkmod one :/

i just think my PC and fastboot dont agree with eachother. before i can flash anything i have to uninstall the drivers, restart my pc, reboot phone into fastboot again, reinstall drivers, and then flash what im trying to flash one at a time, then restart the whole process to get any results on what i try to flash next. I have no idea whats up with the recoveries because i ran into the same issue of flashing clockworkmod and having it work fine till next reboot and its back to stock.

You can use fastboot to restore the system. I just found how to enter the real fastboot mode.

First time making a new thread and I have been on these forums for a while. Mostly because anything I could possibly need to do for my phone has already been posted.
I am having issues with my new Dell Streak. I got this unit as a replacement for an older one that ended up with a cracked screen (Best Buy lost it in the repair process (long story)). My old Streak I was able to flash just fine, this one no such luck. I have tried StreakMod Recovery, ClockworkMod Recovery, as well as the MultiRecoverFlasher, and finally the stock recovery image. It seems every custom recovery I flash ends up giving me a blank screen. The only one I have successfully flashed is the stock recovery image.
Any ideas?
Again, I have done this before, successfully! So I know how the process with fasboot works.

How did you go about flashing these recoveries? Did you fastboot to 'push' a recovery, or did you try Rom Manager'ing them?
On my previous Streak I had used the simple fastboot method.
Using Windows cmd I did:
fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot.exe -i 0x413c reboot
I used StreakMod on that one.
I am trying to do the same on this new Streak with all possible custom recover.img but none of them seem to be working. I keep getting the blank screen.
I decided to update to 2.3.4 after using froyo with the latest gingerblur. I read that i can update straight from gingerblur to 2.3.4, I wish I didn't lol. I followed this guide and got up to step 2 with no problem. Then I got kind of confused, since I already had cwm on my phone I just put this on my sd card and booted into tenfars cwm recovery using the system recovery app. I then selected the gingerbread update and it seemed like it installed just fine but when I rebooted I got up to the green motorola gingerblur screen and it would turn off and turn back on. So I then tried to flash back to 1.2.6 using rsd lite which failed.It still only gets up to the green motorola gingerblur screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know how I can get my phone back into working order and properly install kens 2.3.4 rom? The bootloader is still unlocked.
Do you have the new cwm? If so you can flash the 2.3.4 from kennethpenn . If you don't have the lastest it wont work. Fyi the lastest is install with fastboot did you do this? Let me know .

Fastest fix is to fastboot htkw build of gingerbread then flash to the one from kenneth.
have you ever used fastboot? if not i will walk you though it.
1st go download the htkw build http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VLAKXBB3
Fastboot files for u http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092 choose if u have
32 or 64 bit
2st make sure the moto-fastboot or fastboot (they both work i have tested )file is in your c:\
you have to cd the drive first so make sure its in c:\ .FYI make sure all the files are in one folder not the root drive
so name a folder (whatever) then cd that folder from cmd.
Dont use " " just showing you commands
one at a time and wait for them
Then go to cmd
"cd c:\moto-fastboot"
click enter
then type
moto-fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
then
moto-fastboot flash system atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
then
moto-fastboot -w
click enter
Should say writing\sending
Once your done and it completes
type moto-fastboot reboot
enter
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
It says "moto-fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
edit: nvm downloaded the wrong one lol
Lol I think everyone does that first time ,after you get it back where you can use it. Flash cwm. Then we will go over how to install the good gingerbread.

i actually am stuck in a boot loop as well. i unlocked the boot loader on 2.2, then rooted, then flashed tenfars CWM. all went well. tried to flash ken's 2.3.4, installed fine, but upon reboot went into a boot loop.
so i tried the directions in this thread. but the system image is too large. fastboot worked fine with the boot image, but not system image. any advice? thanks!

lol I believe the reason for that is because the images in the zip weren't made for CWM, but for fastboot. If your fastboot isn't working, make sure you're using the new, updated fastboot from Motorola. Here is a link to it. The files included are for Gingerbread, but I would stick with the Safe update from Kenneth Penn. If anything, just use the Automated Upgrade from here. To use this, try downgrading to 1.8.3 using Fruit cake (don't risk using the SBF on your unlocked bootloader. Might end up with a fancy brick.)
Oh, and before you do anything, BACK UP. =] Friendly reminder =D
Happy upgrading!

This happened to me too. Please help.
This same problem happened to me. I'm brand new to this device. Just got it a few days ago. I think I managed to get the bl unlocked and got it rooted. Then I flashed gingerblur and everything was still okay. But when I tried to flash the latest alien build I got that same bootloop as described in the first post. Then I tried the solution in post #4. And it failed. I saved all the commands I entered and their output if that helps. Right now Im stuck at a screen that says "failed to boot 4" followed by "starting rsd mode". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im a little scared
I was an idiot. I should've read the instructions and the new software released, but after successfully flashing my phone a few times, I got cocky. I was running greyblur but wanted to update it to the latest official gingerbread FW. I flashed it using CW, but now it's stuck on the load Motorola screen. It'll turn on, show the motorola icon, show GREYBLUR, then just get stuck in an infinite cycle.
I tried leaving it on for a while, about half an hour and nothing worked.
Tried to fastboot, and give it a hard reset but that didn't lead to anything.
Anyways, I've downloaded the FW 4.1.83, tried renaming it to update.zip and running that but it doesn't work..
Can anyone help me out?
