That's cool. Take care of your family. Seems like there is quite the dev family here on the thunderbolt so I'm sure there will be plenty to play with in your absence.
[Thunderbolt General] sonofskywalker3:
Despite Miketoasty's distasteful example to the contrary, I still believe the Android community is generally mature...
[Fascinate General] sonofskywalker3:
As some of you may have noticed, I have been very inactive in the Android world over the past month or so. I wanted to take the opportunity to let everyone know what is going on.

My wife is 8 months pregnant, and starting about a month ago she has been having some issues. Nothing too serious, but it means we have to go to the doctor several times a week to make sure she and the baby are not getting worse. She is also not supposed to leave the house if possible. As much as I enjoy the playing around I do with Blackhole, my family has to come first.

The Baby could be born any time now, and I simply don't have the time to devote to Android like I used to. I will admit that what little free time I have left now goes to extra sleep (cause I know I won't be getting any for a while after the baby is born). Lets face it, I'm no Adrynalyn or Jcase. For me Android has always been a hobby, and I do what I do mostly for myself, but just decided to share it.

I do plan on getting back into things once my life has settled down a bit, and if something major happens (Official GB upgrade anyone?) I'll try to make the time to release an update, but don't expect anything from me for a while.

I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me with kind words, donations, suggestions, testing, bug reports, etc. over the past 9 months or so since I started developing on the Fascinate, and I want you all to know how much I appreciate you.

We, in turn, appreciate all you've done for the Fascinate community, and eagerly look forward to a successful birth for the baby! If you wish to share pics of the little tendertot, I'm sure we'd all be excited to see them! If you do not wish to share them due to privacy concerns, we'll understand that, too. Have you decided on a name, and did you find out in advance if the baby will be a boy or girl? Again, if you wish to keep these details private, we'll respect that :)

Just glad to hear all is well as of now. Pregnancy can be daunting by itself, throw in complications just makes it that much more stressful for you and your wife. Congratulations on the addition though and great name choice, my niece is named Lilly.

Rolling the clock back a little, your work was defiantly among the top. The first rom I ever flashed on this phone was yours. As nothing stood still your work has fallen down the list but then again so has super clean. Should you ever find the time again in 18 to 20 years your return will be must welcomed.

Thank you for your works, I and many others enjoyed them greatly in their day. All the best with the coming parenting. Be sure to pass your skills on to your little ones so as to increase your efficiency in making a timely comeback ;)

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geo.samuel:
Hi Mate,

Seems like you are stuck here. But don't worry the situation is not so bad it can be taken care of!!:cool:

I assume you already have the PKG of the 351 ROM which you tried installing.

Download the corresponding amss.mbn, DSP1.mbn and stock recovery.img

Once the download is done

Head to fastboot

Copy update.pkg to the root of SD (Make sure that the downloaded file is not corrupt it can also cause this issue)

Open Command Prompt with elevated permission

Set your phone into fastboot mode (Camera + Power Button) Tap on Fast Boot

Plug the USB cable into the system.

In command prompt go to the Fastboot folder

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery 351recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

When the phone is rebooting immediately hold the Volume Up + Down keys to enter the RECOVERY

Select Software Update option and then at the Update screen press the Shutter Button to Start the Update:D

If everything is done as it is written, you will be back to stock :)

CHEERS MATE!!

Don't forget to hit the thanks button that's a lot of writing there!! LOL :p
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
@GZSammy Thanks for your reply

i'm gonna try your procedure.

I think flashing amss.bin and dsp1.bin will do the trick.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
hi, can please give me any download link for amss.bin and dsp1.bin. im not really sure which version of them , i should flash.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
i got the link for 351 file

im just posting them, bcz someone might need them.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
im struck again.

i'm happy that you are trying to help. i followed your procedure, but flashing amss.bin and dsp1.bin changed nothing.

i'm stuck at dell logo again and when i restarted my phone ishows' emergency recovery copy' and it will get restarted.

then it will take me to the emergency recovery tool , but i can i see that recovery version became 347 again.

Any better ideas ?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geo.samuel:
Bruv,

Once you are done with the flashing of the amss and the dsp1 then the recovery, enter recovery and select the pkg to install... then it will state somethjng about the emergency software recovery press the shutter or the power button (dont remember which one) to start the installation.... happened with me in my earlier days i was sitting at that screen for hours and then i thought that it is screwed so attempted emergency recover... and the phone restarted with no changes... next run i was at the same screen and i discovered that after selecting the pkg we need to press power or i guess shutter button to initiate the installation... i guess u r facing the same issue..

If you are not sure which button to press, then press the opposite button stated for emergency recovery.

Eg. If it says press camera button for emergency software recovery then press power

And if power is written then press camera button.

And it will initiate the installation....

The only thing that I see missing is that when you finally try to reboot, no matter what you have flashed you need to do a Factory Reset, if not the Streak will not want to boot.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
steps i followed and making clear that what im facing.

My device came with 347 (android 2.2.2) stock rom.(im not sure about this).

Currently i'm running streakDriod 1.9 ROM and StreakMod Recovery.

I'm trying to get back to stock ROM. These are the steps i followed.

1)Entered into fast boot, flashed amss.bin, DSP1.bin, and recovery for 351 official rom. And rebooted the phone.

2)When it reboots by pressing volume up and down at the same time, entered into recovery screen.

3)In recovery screen selected 'install update from SD Card'. It took me into the next screen.

4)Here it asked me to confirm the installation by pressing the camera shutter button. One more thing here is , i can see my recovery version as 351, which is good. Bcz installed 351 recovery via fastboot.

5)It will find the update package(351 official rom ) in SDcard and installs it successfully and reboots. Until now everything is working good as expected.

6)After reboot it will get struck at Dell Logo.

7)I removed the battery and reinserted. Once i turn on the phone, it will show a message 'Emergency recovery copy' and reboots. To stop this happening i tried to enter fast boot and recovery none them wont work.

8)After reboot it will directly takes me to the recovery second screen, where we need to press camera shutter button to confirm installation of update.zip like step 4.

Here i can see recover version as 347.That means device recovery got reverted back to stock 347.

9)if i install update(351 ROM) again here, it will install , reboots ,will struck at dell logo, we need to remove the battery, after inserting the battery it will show' emergency recovery copy' and reboots. Again i will come to the step 4.

It is like a cycle.

10)i tried with all versions of recovery copies and roms, which are shown in multirecovery thread.

11)I'm not able to find stock 347 rom, so i didn't tried with 347 ROM.

I think now i'm clear enough , so that everyone can understand my problem.

So what should i do. Help me.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
hi,

im explained the complete procedure above. can u tell me what im doing wrong .

and i think ur assuming that im not pressing the camera button in recovery screen. im doing it and im able to install the update package, but the problem starts after installation.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
At step 5, i would recommend once it reboots, press and hold the vol+ and vol- button again to go into recovery mode, then select option 1 to do a Factory Reset. Please do a backup just in case.

Another thing to try is, if you are back to StreakMod Recovery, boot into the recovery, do a wipe dalvik cache and wipe cache partition before flashing the stock recovery and rom. Again, please do a backup in case.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
thanks for reply

i 've tried doing factory reset after step5, but it didn't help.

Is there anything else. i think i have two solutions.

1)Removing factory recovery (347)completely from the system. it may or may not solve the problem.

2)I need to find stock 347 rom, i think it will work.

I'm searched everywhere, but i couldnt find 347 rom.

is there any thing i can do for this problem.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geo.samuel:
finding a stock rom 347 is something which I guess you wont be able to do.

second option we already tried...i dont know why it is not working..

What i think is this that you need a Nandroid backup of a stock 351 0r 354 rom and you can restore the same from the streak mod recovery which i guess is already installed on your device...

Search in the forums I remember a guy asking for a nandroid backup files and someone uploaded it on a share....

Just check

If not then i will try to get you a nandroid image which I have but dont know where to upload...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geo.samuel:
What else you an try is this that try any other retail dell rom probably 318 or any other build and if it flashes correctly and phone is able to boot, then try to install the later ones....my point is to get rid of any customization in the recovery......
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
I agree with geo.samuel, you have to get rid of custom recovery and make sure you are using the stock DELL recovery image so that you can flash an update.PKG instead of an update.ZIP.

It seems you are knowledgeable enough to get into fastboot, so go to the DELL Streak WIKI at this link

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Dell_Streak.png

and download the recovery image and PKG of your choice (rename the .PKG file to "update.pkg"), I would suggest 354 or 351.

Flash the recovery image from fastboot (now I have a question, when you are in fastboot, do your commands take or are you just taking for granted that your computer is pushing the command?) I have to ask that, sometimes it won't take. If so, then execute the reboot command from the command terminal also.

As geo and others have said, when you see the DELL logo come up, push both camera buttons to get into recovery mode. Choose option 2 to find the update.PKG file you have placed on the ROOT of your SD card. Now at this point, if it allows you to choose the "update.pkg" file you downloaded. If it's asking for an "update.zip" file, then something in fastboot didn't succeed and you need to check your drivers and start with that process all over again.

Now, once you have gotten it to take the flash of the "update.pkg" file on your SD card it will reboot, now give it a few minutes, even if all was successful, it could take up to 15 minutes for it to get beyond the DELL logo. If it stays stuck there, then do a battery pull at least once more before trying to do a factory reset from the stock recovery.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Why is the OP not using MultiRecovery Flasher to flash his recovery image? He'd have a far easier time using that than manually issuing the fastboot commands. Plus it includes all the recovery images that are on the wiki.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
for ur information im already using the multirecovery and im mentioned that. Ive tried using all roms and recoverys which are available in wiki.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I don't see any mention of MultiRecovery Flasher here. In any event, when you flashed the recovery image did you boot back into StreakDroid, download the ROM, then go back into recovery?

What you should have done, at least according to Radimus' Guide to Flashing the Streak, is to have the update.pkg on the SD Card before flashing the recovery.img. That way, once the image is on the Streak you can simply hold down volume up and volume down while the Streak reboots. From there, you restore the ROM.

Check your drivers. Reinstall the drivers if necessary, and then follow the instructions in the guide.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirityang:
Hey buddy,

I got the same issues with streak as you had. I think you can try this way. Write all the files of *.mbn and #.img via cmd in fastboot. I use 354, and downloaded all the files from http-:-//-mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/354/(Remove "-“ in the link). The update.pkg is from XDA wiki. Follow all the standard procedures as mentioned, and see if you can get it back. I made it fortunately, and ask me more details if you are confused. Good luck!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
Seems like someone understood my problem.

Now im gonna download all the files from the website, and i will flash all the files having extensions as *.mbn and #.img via fastboot. Then from recovery screen i will flash update.img. is that right procedure ?

Hope it will work.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
hi, thanks for helping me.

Actually im new to this xda form, in one of the replys , ive explained my situation in a better way. i thought u read it.

However im updated my post, you can have look into that.

i followed the exact process as here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Onq3qZaPF0 , only change is, in the video device boots up successfully, while my one will get struck at dell logo.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirityang:
Yeah. I have the same stock rom as yours, and instead of 347 I recovered it from 354. Try installing all the files as mentioned above, and DO USE cmd under the fastboot. BTW, my OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
hi,

it didnt worked for me. i flashed all files with extension *.mbn and *.img. then i installed update.zip. it got installed , but it got struck at DELL boot logo. i also tried with factory reset after installing the update.zip. Again it is the same story.

is there any thing ,else to resolve this issue. And im using win 7 ultimate 64 bit. and i dont think OS will change anything.

Thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
Hmm you keep saying update.zip ... i assume you mean the update.pkg of 354? Make sure update.pkg is on the root of the SDCard.

1. Download the "MultiRecoveryFlasher.v0.7.rar" from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000455

2. Fastboot your phone (The white screen with the FASTBOOT_MODE) and connect the USB into the PC

3. Unzip "MultiRecoveryFlasher.v0.7.rar" into a folder then run the "MultiRecoveryFlasher" batch file (.bat)

4. In the cmd prompt, type "r354" then hit enter and then follow the instruction

5. Once the phone reboots, immediately hold the volup and voldown button

6. Once into the recovery screen, select option 2 "Update from update.pkg"

7. Press the camera button to start the update process. It will reboot and go into a screen that is sort of like the nanobackup screen and continue installing before it reboots. (I assume you got stuck here?)

8. Once the phone successfully updates and reboot, you will need to hold volup and voldown again to go into the recovery and do a factory reset.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirityang:
maximoz is right. And I mentioned update.pkg in my previous reply and you probably did not catch it. The update.pkg is from XDA wiki, and fastboot cannot load update.zip actually. :D
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themaskofwraith:
Sorry for my spelling,

And i used update.pkg only and i kept it in the ROOT of the SDCard.

And i followed all the instructions.

These instructions are working for the dell streak , which came with android 1.6 OS. i'm tested with another dell streak.

But it is not working for the dell streak , which came with android 2.2.2 (347 ROM).

So any one have any idea, about my situation.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximoz:
Try renaming "install-recovery.sh" in /system/etc/ to "install-recovery.sh.bak" then flash the 354 recovery, reboot and flash the 354 update.pkg.

If you still get stuck, maybe can look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak#Official and try a rom of lower version.

If the flash is successful, then try 354 again and see if it goes through.

Also would be good if you can provide info like which mobile provider you sign up.

I'm having the EXACT same problem as TS. Everything goes well until the portion where the update completes and the phone reboots to the Dell logo.. And just stops right there.

I've tried MRF, and many many guides posted on this forum and also on Modaco forum. None helped.

I'm on 333-13.. Yup, a bit weird I suppose? I have not seen another member with this version and region code around the forums.
