try a hard reset or factory reset
[Defy General] tecjam:
Maybe you had previously installed a rom that removed the google apps from the system/app/ folder. As far as I'm aware a factory reset will not place any 'deleted' apps back into the system/app folder.

I once had a similar problem after doing a factory reset after I had previously used the barebones rom. This rom removed quite a few motoblur bloatware, and also the blurhome launcher, so after doing a factory reset, no launcher was found on the device - the search also didn't work.

I simply flashed the full sbf again using RSD Lite - in this case it was the nordic 2.2.2.

You don't say, but presume you DID have market before the reset? Some areas don't allow market on their stock build.
[Defy General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
What is a hard rest? I did the one in clockworkmod, reset and clear cache.

I tried factory reset from the settings itself.

I tried flashing alot of gapp .zip files. None of them work. Can u provide me with a link? I also tried installing the "new market" from the app forum, didnt work.

Yes I think it was implied, but I did have the markey before the reset. Im in USA using T-mobile if it helps.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zancro:
Anyone recognize this build number - 8558?

Running Android version - 2.2,

Baseband version - AUS_100908_01_BOSS_EVT3_F-US,

Kernel version - 2.6.32.9-perf,

OEM Version - AUS_100980_01_boss_evt3_froyo_release

Phone is rooted, and it says it has Clockworkmod Recovery 2.5.0.7, but when I try to reboot from ROM Manager it just boots into normal operation, if I try to boot into recovery manually, it goes to a black screen and hangs up.

By way of explanation, I just bought this Streak from eBay and want to check what I have now, before trying any customization. I've checked several sources but see no mention of a build 8558.

A follow-on question would be what is the best way to get from here to one of the custom GB ROMs?

I've found some excellent information on this forum, and have the greatest respect for all of you who contribute with such patience, wisdom, and good humor.

Thanks for any help
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
ROM manager does not work well with the Streak. Best bet is to use StreakMod Recovery.

By GB rom I am guessing you mean gingerbread? There is only one gingerbread rom (gingerstreak) and that is in beta. Do you mean StreakDroid? Look at the development thread for your ROM choices. For a custom ROM the best bets are StreakDroid 1.9.1 or SimpleStreak. For a stock ROM I like BB 351, others prefer 354.

See this guide for flashing a rom and see my signature for more Streak info.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zancro:
marvin02,

Thank you for the good information on ClockworkMod vs. StreakMod on the Dell Streak. I'll try installing StreakMod this evening. Once I have that working I'll consider the options for a custom ROM, but lean towards the Gingerbread derivatives. My understanding is that the two most noteworthy incentives for moving from FroYo to Gingerbread are battery conservation and wifi connectivity.

I've had the Streak for about two weeks now and am delighted with the features and performance, but would like better wifi consistency.

Not to beat a dead horse, but why can't I find anything on build 8558? Is a rare hybrid, a strange service provider ???

Again, I'm grateful for the advice.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
While Gingerbread may have advantages over froyo in theory, there is no 100% working GB rom for the Streak. Read the Gingerstreak thread in the dev section for more info.

As far as your build, do you know how to create a shortcut to an activity? The article I linked to shows how to use Anycut, which is s free app. Launcherpro and ADW have this feature built in. Create a shortcut to the activity DisplayVersionInfo. When you tap the shortcut you have created you will get more detailed info about your build. See the attached image. This may help someone figure out your version.

You should also contact TheManii as he is the maintainer of the Streak Wiki and has been collecting as many of the ROM files as he can. If your ROM is one that has not been seen before he will want to get the files, but you may have a customized ROM put on by a previous owner. Some of the values displayed in the Phone Info are just strings from the build.prop file and may not truly indicate what is behind the scenes.

Note : screenshots can be taken with drocap2 (check swap endian in the settings) or Screnshot by Kastorsoft if your phone is rooted.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
8558 is the froyo (2.2) leak that is installed with streakflash.zip

I have a handful of leak roms but they arnt listed on the wiki as only released roms with actual rom version numbers are listed.

The streak itself is more interesting if that was what was actually preinstalled and not installed by someone after the fact. But the rom is one I already have

"Can't mount SD Card"

marvin02,

Thank you for the detailed instructions. I removed ROM Manager and used your guide to install StreakMod with fastboot. Just to be sure, I reran the rooting script using SuperOneClick ver 1.7. I verified Superuser and StreakMod were working, then downloaded, copied, and renamed the update.pkg file for build 351 on my 8Gb class 6 micro SDHC card.

Next, I reinserted the SDHC card into the Streak, and booted into recovery. All went well up to Step 11: Select option 2 on the screen..., I chose the second option and got a verification screen, and toggled to Yes. At that point I got an error message I don't understand.

"v0.3.2.8

--Installing: SDCARD:update.zip

Finding update package...

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

(No such file or directory)

Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip

Installation aborted."

The micro SDHC card is properly inserted so I'm assuming this has something to do with how the card is partitioned, but haven't got a clue what can be done to rectify the problem.

As before, any advice is gratefully received.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
you cant install pkgs with clockwork, you have to install the matching stock recovery.

That guide is by Radimus, I just pointed you to it.

To install a stock rom you must use the stock recovery, not StreakMod. This might help.

Build version 8558

TheMannii,

Thanks for clarifying build number info. I wish I knew more about the history of the Streak, but I bought it secondhand after waiting too long to buy a new retail unit. I already had AT&T service, so not much was required for the swap from Blackberry. Now I'm just trying to learn a bit about how to do updates, etc.

All the old-timers on the forum have really been kind and generous with their time for a newcomer. For the encouragement as well as the help, thank you.

You were dead on. I mislabeled the recovery.img file, so the previous version was not overwritten. I now have build 351 up and running, and all looks good.

Thank you.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jlt220:
I am helping a friend and i want to put a custom rom on his droid, i am coming from the galaxy s, infuse 4g and galaxy s2 forums and well things are a bit different with those phones.

I haven't seen a how to for installing a new rom or anthing if someone could help me out of point me in the right direction it'd be sweet. thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] savergn:
Its actually pretty easy, Once you get the hang of it.

Is this person is not rooted, they may want to try SuperOneClick (found here on the XDA forums) and that will root your device to give you access to the things you need to flash new ROMS. (On my and my brother's Droid I had to remove the SD card for it to root properly, that may not be the case with you, but still be aware of it.)

The only way I've installed a ROM is through ClockworkMod recovery, installed from ROM Manager.

What I've noticed is about 80 percent of the ROM's I've tried only require a Wipe Data/Factory reset, sometimes they'll tell you to format your system too in recovery mode.

So for the most part, you'll always be Wiping Data/Cache (factory reset) unless you're upgrading from an older version of the same ROM, even though sometimes it may still suggest you Wipe if you run into any issues. If you need anymore info, feel free to ask, I've installed Project Elite, Liquid Gingerbread, Simply Stunning, MIUI and Cyanogenmod on my Droid without many issues.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
The htc flyer runs gingerbread with sense, so there isn't sense for honeycomb released yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chubby_Skunk:
HTC Sense is grounded into custom frame work that HTC makes. So you would have to do a lot of work just to get it working in a beta stage. Plus they don't have Sense on any Android 3.x device yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsms0905:

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
I have been told I need to do a "Factory Data Reset" to a) clear out phantom crap-data from my built-in storage (now at 4% free space), and b) stop my phone from random double SMS posts.

I see several Market options for backup but none look very appealing nor do they guarantee to backup everything. Several require your phone to be rooted (mine isn't). Free apps don't backup everything and paid apps only back up the the SD Card but mine is nearly full.

Some on this forum say they can do it all by hand but I have no idea how.

Can't I just plug it into my laptop and move the files over?

This is my first Android phone and I would like to eventually ROOT the phone but I am not there yet. Perhaps this is the next step towards being comfortable doing that.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
Some Market Apps, like MyBackup Pro, will back up to the "cloud" but at a price: MyBackup Pro comes with 50MB of free cloud storage, which you can upgrade to 250MB for $1 per month or 1GB for $2 per month.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
titanium backup pro works very well
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
And that app only saves to the SD card. Mine is FULL
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Where do you want to save it to? anywhere but the sdcard will be wiped in any sort of flashing, making it a useless backup. the only logical place to backup your data is your sdcard, and then copying that backup to your computer.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
How do I safely move stuff off the SD Card to make more room for the backup?How much room will the backup take? Does the backup only backup the Phone storage or also the SD Storage? (FYI, I have Astro File Manager)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Backing up the sdcard would be an oxymoron, as trying to backup your sdcard to your sdcard would never work, that would be like trying to make 1 + something try to be less than 1. You can plug your phone in as a Mass Storage Device, which will use your phone essentially as a flash drive, and you can add or delete as you please. If you're worried about deleting something, copy it to your computer rather than deleting it outright. Backing up should take about 500 MB if you're using Nandroid, but you're not rooted, and I'm not familiar with the posted backup. Backing up without rooting is very difficult
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
Yeah that is why I am posting. many of us non-root-ers want to be able to do this, and also, aren't you supposed to backup your system BEFORE you attempt to ROOT? How does everyone else do it??

OK So I Sideload everything from the SD Card to the laptop, then delete everything from the SD Card, then backup the phone storage stuff to the SD Card, then move THAT File/folder to the laptop.

Is that right??
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Rooting is non-invasive, I've never backed up before rooting. Rooting just edits permissions on one file, which no non-rooted backup app can backup anyways.

If you wanted to backup that way, then yes, that would work, but if you're looking to backup before you root, I would say don't even bother, as it will not backup the phone system anyways, as no non-rooted app can do that.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
If rooting is so "non-invasive" then why do you read so many warnings that if you don't do it **JUST RIGHT** you can totally BRICK your phone??
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
Also what do you mean by "not backup the phone system"?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Rooting can't brick your phone, flashing kernels and bootloaders can. The actual phone files, the operating system files, cannot be backed up by a non-rooted phone, as they are privileged. Rooting only installs the SuperUser.apk to manage super user rights, as well as changing the privileges on the system's super user binary so that you as a user can use it. all that to say, it's not a big deal to root, but what you do once you get root is what can cause issues. And if you brick yourself, no backup is going to help you, as by definition, bricking is beyond repair.
[Atrix 4G General] robonoob:
Just like the title says, with an unlocked bootloader, cwm, p-roms, kernals, and everything else we have for the atrix would it be possible to put finalized items in its own subsection.
