[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emregezgin:
Hello XDA

I live in denmark and i have a Dell Streak but its acting up a lot lately. Sudden reboots, system failer, power butten acting up, accelerometer failer and sometimes its slow as hell..

Because the Streak isnt sold in denmark dell does not give any support, and its too expensive for me to call dell from denmark, so does anybody know how i can contact dell?

Email?

Chat?

Anything?

If theres no other way than i have to call technical support, when do they have open? I dont want to call and then find out that they are closed for the day.

please help me somebody. I will really appreciate any kind of help.

Thank you.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueCrystal:
If you have a gmail account, you can call in the us for free. They're open from at least 8-5pm EST. If your phone is rooted, run that q whatever app and restore it to factory settings before rma'ing it.

If denmark has a dell number or something, call that. They can route you in the correct direction.

Since most of all are newbs and don't want to get into all the android jargon I created a small tutorial from all the existing ones.

Q: What is this tutorial meant to do?

A: Help you to update/flash official firmware on your phone [helpful for those with slow or no internet connection]

So first off all you need to download the following files.

KDZ updater

LG official firmware android version v2.2.2 build v10E created by VIjayKumar

A major part of the procedure is created by victortangocharlie, rest edited by me :) (pictures etc)

I have attached my LOG file so you acn compare it with yours.

After the update all the settings etc etc were the same. I also did not back up my phone.:cool:

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
You will just need to unroot via ginger break and you will be ready for official update via official tools.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
So far, KDZ has done nothing for me except for brick two phones. I've followed your instructions implicitly and they ultimately failed, resulting in a phone that would not turn on. About six months ago, when I first got an Optimus, I had attempted to install Clockwork Mod using Rom Manager, and the result was a phone that would only boot into recovery mode with the three button combo, else it would just end up in an eternal boot loop.

Someone on another forum recommended using KDZ to flash the official firmware (V10C I think at the time) and the result back then was the same. KDZ crashed halfway through the process and the phone would no longer turn on.

I've read conflicting information on this, stating that KDZ will only work on Windows XP 32 bit w/ service pack 3 (which I had at the time I attempted to flash six months ago) and that it should run on any version of Windows. I was running KDZ from Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit this last time.

All in all, I would not recommend KDZ to anyone except someone who has already bricked their phone and is just using it as a last ditch effort to regain functionality. Worst case scenario, it should **** the phone up enough that your cell phone provider won't be able to figure out what you did to the phone. That's what I'm hoping, otherwise T-mobile will be tacking an extra $300 onto my phone bill next month.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nikhil4186:
umm.. hello this tutorial is for p500 only. Not for p509

Me and many others have installed official firmware using kdz.

Kdz was the only way to install cfw on p500 with ofw 2.2.1 and above before the arrival of gingerbreak.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dr.Alani:
I have used KDZ updater on my old gt540 many many times and on my O1 now for several times.Only windows vista gave my problems. You can always test it by "read phone info" first. If it works fine, the update will go fine as well.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] eagledipesh:
Nice guide, this is exactly what i was looking for.....
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] S3nd41:
Can this method be used to flash that final Romanian 2.3 kdz that was leaked? This process seems to be kinda risky...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nikhil4186:
Kdz files are to be flashed with kdz updater, so, yes.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
Does KDZ Updater work with Windows 7 64-bit? If not, would it work on Windows XP via VMware? Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] bl4ck0p5:
Trying to use KDZ Updater but when phone goes to Emergency Mode the whole process just stops. So I have to unplug my phone and restart it and nothing gets updated. I followed all instructions to the letter but no luck :(
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lord dredd:
An awesome effort indeed .

very very nicely explained.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nikhil4186:
did you move your apps to sd card. in my case kdz did not even detect the phone and crashed when it was doing so.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ElGeorge:
Hi all,

Since I purchased my P500 already rooted and with a custom ROM installed, I want to learn this KDZ process so I'm able to return my phone to stock settings in the case I want to sell it in the near future. I've already downloaded the original stock firmware specific to my mobile carrier (using the process described on another post that uses the phone's serial number).

My specific questions are:

1-) I don't care about saving anything currently on my phone or SD card, because all my important data (contacts, calendar, email) is in Google's cloud. Since I'm currently using LOL 1.4.2 which uses DarkTremor script (so all my apps are actually on the SD), do I have to do that step of "moving apps to internal memory"??. If the whole firmware is going to be replaced do I have to care about moving apps from the SD before starting the KDZ process?

2-) I've seen some people ask about doing the process with a Windows 7 machine but information does not seems conclusive. Will this process work normally on a Windows 7 32-bit laptop? What about a Windows 7 64-bit laptop (I have two computers)

What I hoping to do is learn and apply this process and take my phone back to stock, and then I want to do the whole process of rooting and flashing it back to LOL 1.4.2. I've tackled pretty well the Custom Recovery and ROMs process, but it will be the first time rooting because I didn't do the rooting on my current phone.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dr.Alani:
I have done the update through Win 7 32bit and it went smooth.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] bl4ck0p5:
I flashed to GB v20g using LGMDP on my 64bit Win7 machine. KDZ updater did not work. After a few seconds running it just stopped responding. But everything went smooth with lgmdp :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
Is LGMDP the same as LG Thunder?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rajathvsm:
1. You have to reinstall all the apps if you are flashing through KDZ. It is normally suggested to remove the SD card while flashing through KDZ. Just copy all the required files to the desktop and format the card.

2. KDZ flashing went smooth on my x64 Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. And I've used that process thrice I guess, on x64.

Hope it helps.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nikhil4186:
no need to uninstall any app. just move all to phone memory.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ElGeorge:
OK think I got it, so the step about moving to sd seems to be related to saving your current installed Apps, but since I don't care about saving anything then I should not need that step.

I'm also curious about something: If I flash to Gingerbread V20 (which obviously has the new baseband) and then I just want to take back the phone to the stock V10 Froyo Rom (I have that kdz file) I would just need to reflash with KDZ and that would take care of putting back the original baseband?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ElGeorge:
And doesn't KDZ wipes all Internal memory?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 22VIN:
Nice tutorial :)

One time I flashed it with KDZ I forgot to disable virtual modem but it all went fine, so I don't think it's a disaster if somebody forgets this step.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nikhil4186:
better play safe instead of taking risks
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] jmd1981:
I'm stuck on the boot animation after doing this. Am I bricked? It stayed on that menu until the battery ran out all last night. Make it even worse if I try it again or can I even try it again?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] terratrix:
Try a hard reset (Power + Vol Down + Home). If problem still persist flash again
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] KiLLuCHuN:
I'm actually very interested in this method for return to stock Froyo... I don't even want to have 2.2.1 or higher.. I just want my old sluggish Froyo, because Gingerbread official turns out very buggy and... stupid.

I found this thread and somebody said it actually works... but I don't want to do it because I don't want to brick the phone.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] K3Exe:
this is the same way for LG OPTIMUS 2X ??? :/
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dr.Alani:
I think its the same way as I have used it before on GT540. But you will have to get the kdz rom file for o2x.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nikhil4186:
yes it is.

this thread is linked to the 2x forum too.

Had 2x virtual modem listed, disabled them both (looking at the logs, it also disables some other ones)

Didn't bother check the apps install location, just unmounted and removed the microSD card just to be safe

Easier solution.

Download http://www.lg.com/us/support/mobile-devices/phone-support and let it install the "updated" firmware. Afterwards it reboots and WAMO, legit stock rom.

It killed my CWM recovery, and root, but that was way easier to install than this was. It truly confused the hell out of me.

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] cognus:
is your windows 7 the 64-bit version? you may need to set compatibility settings or go hunt the 64-bit version of the utility.

a question/test: nevermind KDZ.... if you simply turn on your handset, plug in the usb cable to your pc/laptop running windows 7, do you then get Notification on your handset re: USB Debugging and USB connected/share? If so, press the USB connected and make sure you get a folder in windows [explorer] showing the handsets storage. if all that is good, the drivers are OK, and that says my first point is probably the right one: compatibility issue with the KDZ program. there's a possibility that either windows firewall or some other security app is blocking it without telling you but I'd rate that not as likely as compatibility mode issue.
