S O L V E D...PatricMD from Modaco sent me the images of the internal SD card and the instructions on how to re-image them in my linux box...follow instructions, inserted the internal SD card which BTW he suggested I do it on an 8GB class 10, created the 2GB main partition, then partition 1,5 and 6. Partition 5 is 300mb, partition 6 1.6gb. Copied the files over to partition 5 after mounting it and setting the proper permissions. Booted phone and ... Fourth of July on my streak...!!! It went straight to emergency recovery..!!

Thanks to all who tried to help...and if I made someone cry because of my frustration...here's my apology, didn't mean to make anyone cry, I just figured I was dealing with adults who understand frustration and sometimes I can be insensitive to the sensitivity of others. Usually when someone rants and ***** at me in any forum, I simply ignore, why take it so personal..!!

marvin02 thanks for clearing things up! I was choking on my own keyboard strokes trying to explain that wiping everything includes ... well, everything..!

Hi DJ_Steve

Just one concern

1. All applications that requires superuser access sometimes go into black screen then i need to manual FC that application so i could run it again. (ie Root Explorer, Battery Calibration, SetCPU, etc)

---> Is there any fix for this issue?
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Very simple fix... you need to flash StreakDroid again and do a DELL factory reset... very simple fix
[Streak 5 Android Development] tazzz811:
I guess that's not the proper way to fix the issue... Coz even if i tried flashing the rom again... It happens without knowing when will it occur... Actually the issue only targets applications that requires superuser...

I tried updating busybox & superuser... But sad to say... After a reboot i just stuck on bootanimation...
[Streak 5 Android Development] davey818:
i had an issue where i went into streakdroid, flashed with the new 1.9.1 zip, mind you i had 1.9.0 already with zero issues, so of course i do a nandroid backup, i flash to the new rom witht he 191 zip, and then im getting a mount error, saying i can not mount cache and all these errors when i try and do anything, i did a permission fix and a nandroid restore, the first restore failed because of the error, and then i rebooted the device a few more times got back in and the errors were gone somehow, i assumed that i corrupted the file system or something, but i guess i did my nandroid back up again, and now im stuck with 190 because im to afraid to try it again with fear of bricking my device, anyone ever had an issue like this?

reposting, anyone know what to do about this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Then it seems like you have some files on your internal memory out of sync, not your internal SD, you internal chip so you probably need to do a full fix as I call it...

1) flash stock recovery to whatever you want

2) flash update.pkg that matches the stock recovery

3) factory reset and let it boot

4) flash streakmod and immediately reboot to recovery

5) flash a fresh download of streakdroid and factory reset and let it boot

Takes about an hour, not counting setting up all your apps again, it's happened to me an a couple of occasion and this finally solved it for me. IF you have troubles after that then it's beyond the scope of my knowledge

Anyone with issue on not able to install flash 10.3, word with friends, etc on the market? It shows but no option to install or download.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmhalder:
1: Sometimes SU permissions slows to almost a halt, this happens on alot of phones, nothing steve can do about it. just check "always" and you won't have this problem.

2: Streak doesn't use RFS, it should be YAFFS. and no, I can almost guarantee he won't convert it over to EXT4

3: PerfMod has nothing to do with the filesystem, our stock filesystem is actually pretty fast, it's just kernel tweaks, that do make it reasonably faster, his PerfMod also includes the ability to OC to ~1.2ghz.

start emergency recovery copy Error

Guys,

I flashed 1.9.1 and my streak worked well.. except when i had android process phone error and my dailpad couldnt dail a number. later when i flash Stock.. never boots so i had to revert back to 1.9.1... any info why? i tried android sdk and compatible recovery still doesnt boot.. stays at dell logo...
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Did you do a factory reset after flashing back to stock?

Anyway I would recommend flash stock recovery, flashing stock ROM matching the stock recovery, factory reset and then boot and you should be back to completely stock

Just a quick "long term" report on 1.9.1

All stability issues seem to be sorted for me now - it appears to have been down to me allowing Advanced Task Killer to kill the Widgetsoid process. Unchecking that and SetCpu has made things utterly stable. Prior to this I was getting occasional "random" reboots.....

I also tried the USB hosting last night and it works very well. Unfortunately I can't read the files on my Canon SLR bodies (folder comes up, camera says "busy" then seems to connect, but the phone declares the folder empty :( ). It works perfectly with USB Memory Keys though so I'll just have to get a CF Card reader for what I need

Install options: noswype, noapps, novolnoppt, usbdisk

I run VTL Launcher and Baldylock's Green icon set for 1.9.0

Quadrant scores are between 1370 and 1500 most times but oddly I'm finding the PS1 emulator I have (FPse) runs better in this configuration than with perfmod etc.

Just waiting for my class 10 micro SD now (internal). The company I ordered from sent me a full size one by mistake. Doh.....

Quad score 1779, but I just installed from the zip on XDA, so I guess at this point no perfmod?

I did get the bios boot animation which was on my install.txt, though, or is that now the default?

I'm also having problems flashing the baked ROM from the kitchen. I downloaded signed and unsigned versions and different configurations but all were unsuccessful.

I also saw where another member on MoDaCo was successful but using StreakDroid 0.3.2.7 (I was on 0.3.2.8) so I flashed that recovery and tried again but was still unsuccessful and so I reverted back to the 0.3.2.8 StreakMod recovery.

Gonna wait til tomorrow and request another bake and cross my fingers it's a server issue.

But if anyone has any other ideas or suggestions for me I am all ears.

UPDATE: Just for the heck of it, I logged into my MoDaCo account using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox and downloaded a new bake, lo and behold what I downloaded gave me no problems flashing.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
That has happened to me several times. All I did was flash again, but AFTER flashing when I reboot, I went into recovery and did a factory reset from the DELL recovery, rebooted again and it booted fine

Well, i choose stageui from install.txt, and do all the resets, but Dell stage doesnt work. Its ashame i like it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
It was reported in the previous page that StageUI doesnt work, it's a known issue now. You can either try to figure out why it doesnt work exactly or wait for a potential update (which may or may not happen).

You could also roll back to 1.9.0 if it's important enough

Little confused about this 'old engineering baseband'.

Now I'm on 1.9.0 with the baseband showing as GAUSB1A131800-US. I believe I've flashed it from file AMSS.MBN (16,130,048 bytes) from Steve's download page. Is that the 'old engineering' one?

There's also the AMSS.MBN (16,150,528 bytes) that Steve suggested to use with 2.0.

I've also seen AMSS-2.1.MBN and AMSS-2.2.MBN - what exactly are those?

Bottom line, what baseband is optimal with 1.9.1 and where to get it (if mine is obsolete)?

Same with DSP1.MBN, there's a version for 1.X.X and newer one for 2.0, shall I stay on former one?

Stage UI

Please can we get the Stage UI working with this ROM?

I and others don't think it sucks and appreciate it's aesthetics.

I know the underlining code for the Stage UI is buggy,

but it when it is working well it makes great eye candy

and actually makes functional sense for me at least.

Thank You
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
A few posts back, wait not sure if was here or on MoDaCo, DJ expressed his distaste for the Stage UI. It consumes vast amount of memory and CPU, crashes most of the time unless you are on stock ROM, so if you like the Stage UI, then more than likely you need to be running a stock ROM isimme. You can try uninstalling all the files manually and reinstalling, but it's still gonna crash.

Once again I suggest if you like the DELL stage then you should stick with the DELL ROM

perfmod

Did a factory reset within streakmod AND the dell screen before and after flashing and it boot looped

I will try again today after work but can anyone see why ?

I did flash and boot successfully once with adwlauncher set too but I had forgotten perfmod, which I wanted.

Cheers,

[Streak 5 Android Development] krazman325:
Because you did the factory reset within streakmod. You should only do the factory reset from the Dell Screen or you can cause the boot loop.

Someone more knowledgeable than me will have to step in here to help you correct it. I think you may have to use the QDL tool or the newer repair tool. I'm not certain.

[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Well, seeing as my SD card was full of all kinds of rubbish I went for a total fresh install from 1.8.1 with 354 baseband.

Installed, added the Baldylocks green icon set and then did a factory reset from the Dell menu (not clockwork). I'd already done a complete copy of the SD card so just transferred back the stuff I still wanted.

Working absolutely fine system-wise so far, using VTL launcher, which I really like.

Two "issues" I'm not so sure about: Quadrant Advanced doesn't seem to want to run? It either does an "unexpected stop" or just doesn't launch the benchmark

And some of my Market downloaded software (ok, ok, "apps" :) ) seem to not exist when I search for them, even though I only downloaded one of them yesterday?

Great work though!

Does it affect anything else or should I leave it as that now?

EDIT - Quadrant sorted - needed to enable "auto rotate": Doh!

scored 1517 - cpu = 4817, mem = 1182, i/o = 862, 2d = 343, 3d = 379

that's on a "smartass" 1190 max, 245 min, from a "straight" install of 1.9.1 (no install.txt cos i ...er...kind of forgot to put it back on the card!)

I'm currently on the 354BB and the stability and battery life is excellent. I've got Wifi, GPS and background sync on 24/7 and I get a little over 24 hours of backup on the stock battery and no random reboots.

I think I read of people using the 351BB and also getting good results. What I'd suggest, to avoid the pitfalls of having mixed up BBs and DSPs would be to flash a stock firmware (351 or 354) and then from there go to 1.9.1.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cthater:
I have asked Steve to no avail so I figured I would ask here as well.

I have a somewhat serious problem. I have my streak running 1.9.0 and everything is fine but I would love to flash 1.9.1. Here is my problem. Awhile back the proprietary port kinda broke and I only have the copper connectors and no plastic casing on them. It still charges (Thank GOD) but it doesn't connect to a computer. Somehow I lost clockwork recovery and the only screen I'm able to get to is the first one with factory reset and apply update via SD. I have tested it by doing a factory reset and choosing the second option to flash 1.9.0 and it has worked but I'm not sure if that's because its just already on the SD or because I told it to thru that function.

I guess my question is do you think I can update to 1.9.1 thru this method or am I stuck on 1.9.0 for the life of this device?

Any help would be appreciated.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jim-bo:
Don't have my streak to hand at the moment, but at least on some android phones, there is a shell command flash_image which you can run from the phone itself, which would mean that you can get your CWM or StreakMod recovery back. You would have to download the recovery image onto the SD card directly over wifi, then run a teminal and enter the command

flash_image recovery /path/to/img/file

(obviously substituting the actual path in)

After that, you should be able to boot into recovery normally, and run the custom recovery to nandroid backup your current rom, and then flash the new one as usual.

Stock recoveries cannot be used to flash custom roms, since they check for a signature in the zip file, which isn't valid on custom roms.

"IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE TO THE BELOW BASEBAND FOR 1.5.1+

Baseband File Download:

Mirror 1: http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/amss.mbn"

^^ the download link is broken.

My streak is on

Android 2.2 .2

Baseband version: GAUSB1 A135411- US

Kernel Version: 2.6. 32.9-perf

Build : 15881

Recovery: Streakroid Dr. fix

Do i need to flash the above given amss.mbn ..?

If yes, then can you pls provide the working link/mirror and instructions

Same questions for dsp1.mbn

Note: some members on other forums are reporting on upgraded/other/new versions of the amss.mbm and dsp1 files. which they found on dell or other places on Internet, whats up with these?

Also it will be great if MD5 checksum is provided, as a 199 MB file which is downloaded by many of us via IDM and other down-loaders does carry a great chances of missing or breaking-up/corrupt a piece in download and compiling process. And thus resulting in unnecessary questions on not installing and all while the real reason can be just a not properly downloaded file.

And i also want to know that for better battery performance perfmod is recommended or not, how much performance improvement i should or should not expect. my preference is better battery life in all case.

currently on my rom I am getting around 1% battery drain per hour in ideal screen off (with edge data turned on and auto sync on for data and mails)
