[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
Was reading all the links on the forums here.

Most are concise and helpful :)

Mainly http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=776883 for the PDF on how to fastboot your streak. I assume your pc already has the usb driver for the dell installed, else the PDF guide will tell you how.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000455 for the Recovery flasher.

Make sure update.pkg of the stock 354 rom is on the root directory of your sdcard.

You can download the stock rom from here http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak#Official, scroll down to 354 and click the "PKG" link to download and rename to update.pkg if it's not that naming.

Once the stock recovery is installed and the phone rebooted, press and hold the volup and voldown button to go into the recovery screen.

Select option 2 to update from update.pkg on the sdcard. Phone will reboot once then go into another screen to continue installing before rebooting again.

Might take a while, but once everything is ok, you should be on 354.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastx:
Firstly, I must thank you immensely for your help but sadly the above steps and procedures are a been-there-done-that.

TBH, I am pretty savvy with these stuff but this is puzzling me. Moreover, I am not the only one having such issues. Seems like there are many like me with this stuck at dell logo thing.

I can't believe this is happening to me :(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
Yeah ... am not sure why some of you have issues :confused:

Been flashing my streak quite a few times already and not much problem.

Can try looking through here http://www.rdtk.net/dell-streak-links-and-references/ and see if any of the links helps.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Aww, I currently dont have any pkgs or nandroids of starhub roms (mainly 320) if you hadnt already install something else over it i woulda asked for a nandroid dump.

Oh well :(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastx:
Are you fine with meeting up?

I would like to take a look at how you do it and see what I'm doing wrong.. That is if I'm doing anything wrong :/
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
Hmm would it work if i use a lower version rom and then try to see if there's any software upgrade from starhub?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
When i got my dell, i straight away search the web for stuffs related to dell and got here and follow what was said on the forums to root and flash my dell.

Didn't even think to backup the stock starhub rom before plunging :p

I only look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Dell_Streak.png#Official for the latest stock rom and proceed to install 351.

After playing it with a little while, i realised that most chinese words showed as boxes and that's how i got to install 354 which is suited for hong kong and truely enough, chinese character shows up properly now :)

Then came simplestreak which was based on 354 but streamlined so i installed it and was very good :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
Might have a friend wanting to get the streak from Starhub, will try to get a nano backup if possible.

Fingers crossed!!!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
A nandroid dump is required because the pkg simply isnt available. Also there have been no updates to starhub streaks since it's release (to my knowledge)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
Hello is there any one, trying to help me out here..:confused:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
Hmmm ok, hopefully my friend gets one and i can get a dump :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
1. You have a stock recovery installed as you posted earlier correct? (If you're not sure which you're supposed to have 351 is a safe option)

2. You put the matching version update.pkg on the sd card (they should match)

3. You let the entire update process run

4. After installing it it finishes and takes a while to boot for first time

are you sure you let it install all the way and correctly at step 3?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastx:
At least for me I'm sure I did it the right way.

What any the BB version? Do we need to flash the matching BB version too?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanemburghj:
Yes, BaseBand is identifier to which version you have, 309 is different than 318 and so on. Recommend you go to the TheManii's web page (http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/) and download two things 1. 351 recovery image and 351 Update package (will see long name with 351 in it, that's the one). Rename the long name package to Update.pkg and copy to your root of your SD card. Boot into fastboot flash the image, reboot holding both volume buttons down. Go to option two you see wording that includes the baseband 351 in it. If you have that just push the camera button until the install starts and follow the on screen directions. If you really hosed your Streak give it a bit when it finishes to reboot, takes awhile sometimes.:D
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim-bo:
Actually no. The baseband and DSP and, well, everything else including the recovery for that matter, are all included in the update.pkg.

It is recommended that you update the recovery first manually since that is the package that handles flashing all the rest, and the same version recovery is most likely to be able to install the update.pkg without issue.

Flashing anything additional is essentially a waste of time and flash write cycles, and with any firmware update there is always the slim chance that it will fail and you'll be left with a brick, so why effectively flash it twice when you don't need to?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
If you still have streakmod recovery installed, i have uploaded a fresh installation of simplestreak 1.2 here http://www.multiupload.com/VO4MPI0U0G.

If you have existing rom back up in your sdcard then unzip and copy the folder into the nanodroid backup directory, else create a directory called "rom_backup" and unzip the folder into it.

Once done, boot into the streakmod recovery and go to the nanodroid backup and select the option to restore.

Hopefully this will restore a working new simplestreak 1.2 rom into your streak.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanemburghj:
With his problem it is best to flash matching recovery.img than proceed with update, but if he just wants to just go around and around, recommend he does it your way.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastx:
Wait isn't what you guys recommending me to do, the same stuff?

basically i follow Radimus' guide:

http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=9694

so I

1) got fastboot to work

2) downloaded the matching recovery.img and update pkg (both 354)

3) followed Radimus' way to flash the recovery and when rebooting hold down + down vol buttons

4) select option (2) which is to update from sd card

5) hangs at dell logo for eternity..

what am i doing wrong guys?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastx:
I finally got my dead streak to work!

flashed streak mod recovery and installed simple streak.

Loving it!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikos:
Hey there, first time poster long time lurker.

Was in the EXACT same situation, wanting to downgrade from dj_steve's 1.9 to stock 2.2.2, but the recovery switched back to 347 and getting stuck at dell logo and intermittenly loading the emergency recovery copy.

loaded into fastboot and flashed an alternative recovery.img (clockwork in my case). Went into recovery and reset all to default, every single setting, dalvik, battery etc. and reset my beloved streak.

the next thing i know, i'm looking at the lockscreen for stock 351 os! :D

Good luck to you sir! Hope this works for you as well!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
i've tried it maybe a 20 times.but no successful boot up.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
Im happy that you made out. but im sad that i've already tried this.

i want know complete steps of your success story. So that i can check my steps.

when did u entered into fastboot, to reset all these settings.

If possible please elaborate all the steps please.

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastx:
Are you only looking at the stock rom?

If not, I highly recommend you to try simple streak. It's way better than stock. Trust me,i know.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
I know it is a good rom. But it is kinda killing me that im not able to install the stock rom.

I just want to see stock rom, in my device.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastx:
I undertand what you mean bro.

I was in the exact same situation a you were. I just would not accept that I just can't get the stock rom to work.

But now that I'm on simple streak, I'm never looking back.

Just my 2-cents bro.

Good luck!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naijaguy:
okay, I got my streak yesterday, upgraded to streakdriod2.0. I just went back to the stock ROM 2.2.2 following the instructions on post 2...really quite easy...thanks...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikos:
okies, let's start back from when i got stuck at the dell logo with 347 recovery.

1.removed battery, replaced it

2.holding power+camera, got into fastboot

3.fastboot clockworkmod recovery

4. fastboot reboot

5. hold on to power and volume buttons, did the following:

wipe dalvik cache

wipe battery stats

wipe data/factory reset

everything that can be reset back to default, i clicked it

6. reboot streak

7. after about 10 minutes in dell logo bootscreen, the logo animates (somewhat of a purple flash?) and then the lockscreen comes up.

And just like you guys, wouldn't rest until i can get my streak on stock OS. But after having done all that, it's disappointing to be back in stock. dj_steve's rom is miles better than stock, but i'm sure you don't need me to say that :P will try Simple Streak next, while also keeping an eye out for honeycomb rom. (one can always hope :P)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naijaguy:
Maybe you should avoid wiping the dalvik, battery, data/factory caches. Flash amss, dps1, 351recovery and then reboot holding volume keys. Go straight to software update without deleting nothing...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
I noticed some people have problem flashing files downloaded from firefox, could maybe try downloading the roms using internet explorer and see if it helps?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastx:
I'm using google chrome though. Never used firefox to download anyof the files used.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
I use google chrome myself too and never had problems but i guess it's worth a try for those still having problem flashing the rom.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
Here what I did.

after installing stock rom,I got struck at dell logo.

So I removed my battery for 10 mins. Then I started my phone by holding the camera button.

But it is not going to fastboot, it show the msg 'emergency recovery copy' and reboots. If I hold camera key now, it will enter into fastboot. Still I flashed clockworkrecover(and tried with streakmod also), the followed the steps as u said. But it kept restarting.

I am not able to enter fastboot, when it got struck at dell logo. No matter what I did, it will show that 'emergency recovery copy' msg and reboots. After that only I can enter into fastboot.

And im installed simplestreak, it is good. But it will be great if optional quickoffice is there.

Thanks for instruction . I think my device is weired. Bcz im able to flash stock rom in my friends streak. But not in mine.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastx:
After using my simple streak for 2weeks or so, I found out that I cant find several local apps in my marketplace.

1) POSB mBanking

Mine is a singapore set here. Anybody facing the same problem as I am?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomascw:
I know this thread is old, buy I'm going nuts. I have a 347 retail version that I cant get to accept a stock recovery. I've flashed many recovery.img,with the corresponding update.pkg on the root of my sd. It fails to get past Dell logo every time. Actually I was able to get to stock 407 Olleh one time, but I cant duplicate it. It gives me the Emergency Recovery Copy message, when it reboots from that, its back to 34700 recovery. I ran QDL to downgrade to 305 recovery, tried it with 351 update.pkg, and with update.zip from manii's directory. It fails again,but this time after Emergeny Recovery Copy reboots , I am at 30500 recovery screen lol ( still wont load 351 update.pkg). I am running 347 rom by flashing the system.img and boot.img via fastboot,in streakmod recovery. I am using amss and dsp1 from 350 rom. Kind of a Frankenstreak. One good thing I've learned through all this flashing is how nandroid backup is my friend.

found this, so easy, works

Reboot

Hold Volume buttons

Option 2 - Recovery mode

Install stock 360 rom.

Fastboot

Flash streakmod

Hold Volume buttons

Option 2 - Recovery mode

wipe cache partitions and dalvik cache

Reboot

Hold Volume buttons

Option 1 - Factory Reset

and then 360 loads up nice and clean.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidbec92:
I am still yet to find out something. Under what conditions does one update the amss and dsp1 on their dell tablet. There are some places with custom roms where we are told to do it and places where we are told not to. Most of the places where we are told to do it the location of the files, the version to look for (if there is such a thing) or reason for doing it are not explained.

In the WIKI the stock files have the img, the pkg and a hash file. Does that mean that the amss and dsp1 are not required when reloading stock roms?

Is there a difference between the streakdroid amss and dsp1 and the froyo amss and dsp1 or the gingerstreak 1.9.1 versions of the same files.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazzoon:
Now this one worked for me. 360 stock rom running :). I have experienced exactly same as OP. Cycle reboots between fastboot and emergency recovery at not ends. But I think the trick was wiping the cash partitions and dalvik cache. I even added fix permissions choice from streakmod options.

Good luck trying this out.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
I want to try and compile the oficial gb sources, mainly out of curiosity, but I would love having some clues on how to achieve it.

I'm a coder myself, but I don't know **** about android development. I guess I have to start by installing android sdk but then what? Any hints? A link to a begginer's guide or something would be great.

Sure I can find this info on google (starting the research right now) but maybe you guys can point me into the right direction.

Edit: I've found basic build instructions right inside the ZIP file containing the sources:

1. Android buid
- Download original android source code (gingerbread) from http://source.android.com
- Untar opensource packages of p500_gb_open_source.tar.gz into downloaded android source directory
- And, merge the source into the android source code(gingerbread)
- Run following scripts to build android
a) . build/envsetup.sh
b) make -j4
- When you compile the android source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain)
into the android folder
( add prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin to PATH )
- After build, you can find output at out/target/product/generic

2. Kernel Build
- When you compile the kernel source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain)
into the android folder.
( Add prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin to PATH
ex) export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/gb_original/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin )
- Untar using following command at the android folder
tar zxvf kernel.tar.gz
- cd Kernel
- make thunderg-perf_defconfig
- make zImage -j4

3. After Build, You Can find the build image at arch/arm/boot

4. Compile environment
- gcc 4.4.1
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java 1.6.0_22

I'll continue researching and will post any finds and my progress here if there's anyone interested. Meanwhile you can contribute with anything you can and by the end we may have a good tutorial out of it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Arjen:
Look at first post from Andy's Gingerbread, he describes what you need.

No need to install Android SDK.

I take sources from codeaurora, merge with LG-source.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mik_os:
Forget about this. LG did not released Android soures. There are kernel only.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
Damn... are you sure, Mik?

Have you looked inside the zip? There's 2 tarballs, one for the Kernel and other reading 'p500_gb_open_source.tar.gz'. I tought it was the p500 gb android source files that needs to be merged with the main source code.

Well... that's a real shame.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
it is on GB, and it was on FROYO - LG didnt release the complete source code,

only some modifications to the android sources - because not all parts of android

are GPLv1, they doesnt MUST release sources for this parts these arent of GPLv2 or GPLv3 in some cases ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
AFAIK Even with froyo LG didn't publish the WHOLE source,only pieces of it (AFAIK).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Arjen:
I'm still downloading sources from codeaurora, as soon as it's finished I'll merge the changes and we'll see what happens :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
I can't even download sources,my internet connection freezes everytime I download something (only if speed goes above 350KB/s),so no Eclair build for meh :D. Gonna kill Telecom Italia soon ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Arjen:
Viva l'Italia :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
Ahaha lol I do love my country but internet services suck :mad:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
sounds like "i download as fast as i can the sources, do a "make gingerbread"

in the command line and release a build to megaupload.com...

i can say, there is a very small knowledge of how to build a android system from source - you need a lot of hours to get the system compiled so that most stuff

is working^^
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Arjen:
I know that Andy :D

I'm not stupid ;)

But you need to download sources and merge LG sourcecode before you can start anyway :D

So far the simple . build/envsetup.sh, lunch and make seem to work fine with 2.3.4 source, after compiling is complete we'll see if I got a working rom.

If al works fine I can start to modify and build again, so I've got hours and hours of mostly waiting :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mik_os:
Lol, look to my sources and compare it to lg's. Theren are nothing usefull except kernel.

After compiling you'll get default android that probably can start in emulator :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
I love your sources because they gave me some really useful infos :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Arjen:
Nope, it runs on the phone,

did similar thing to build eclair (needed to change some things before I could build) and got it booting to our phone with froyo kernel, only a little hacking needed to get all working. Only gsm and bluetooth are not yet fully working on eclair, other things seem fine so far. :D

but will take a look at your sources, because you could be right there are better ways :D

Edit:

GB building is ready and working fine after flashing (using new baseband)

Just tried this because it was fun. Now I'm going back to get eclair fully working :D

The only GB-build I want to use is CM7, no-one needs just another GB while we have three good ones: Miks CM7, Andy's GB/CM7 and Noejns void #forever :D and with Franco's kernel these builds rock ;)

Sorry Ciaox, forgot your coming GB-rom :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hydrogenman:
with it's gorgeous screen and perfect size. I had originally planned just to try this phone out while waiting for the Evo3D to drop. I bought an Evo3D to use side by side for a few days, and I ended up returning the Evo. The 4.3" screen just seems too small after using the 4.5, and the screen just cannot in any way compare.

it's too bad Sammy hardware with HTC software isn't possible....that and I wish Sammy would add physical camera buttons
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
YES! i know how you feel. i change phones like crazy and well i was using my HD2 the other day, even though there is a .2 difference i find it kinda hard to adapt.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassistguy:
I completely agree. My last phone had a camera button on it (the button also acted as a shortcut to start the camera as well), and it was hard to get used to not having a camera button with this phone.

However, everything else about the Infuse just about makes up for it :).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
Well one the revolutionary new features of iOS 5 that Steve Jobs single handedly came up with is using the volume buttons as a physical camera button. I'm sure we could figure out a way to do that, and we can already pinch zoom on the screen as an alternative zoom.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
On the i9000/Captivate forums you've been able to use the power button (the volume keys are already mapped to zooming).

I see no reason a similar mod would not work for Infuse.

Sent from my Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dxtra:
Originally planed to get the the infuse 4g until SGS 2 drops in the states. This beautiful 4.5 inche screen change everything. I could not go any lower than 4.5 .
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
do you guys think that other copanies will start making their screens as the infuse? I remember back in the days, you would be the man if you had the smallest device. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
Yes they are already mapped to zooming but you can also pinch to zoom! Could remap them no problem
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DS1495:
I couldn't agree more with the OP. I just don't know if I can try another phone anymore after using the Infuse. I'll be too disappointed :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] blazablaz:
I agree the screen is just incredible. I saw my nephew's evo 3d today and was underwhelmed by the screen. Odd because i had inspire 4g and thought the screen was fantastic. i guess the infuse's screen has spoiled me. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DS1495:
Tell me about it. Haha, I've gone through over 15 different high end android phones over the past year, and none of them have compared to the Infuse.. especially in terms of battery life running Infused 1.5. Don't have to charge my phone every night!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mizz lia:
I agree this screen size this phone period I can't go any lower every time I pick up another phone it feels small and weird
