You need to load the driver manually. See my guide in the stickies. Is called Dell Streak the complete guide.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Keethos:
Just a quick question guys, can anyone tell me what the difference is between this v2.5.0.1 and the older v1.8.1.7 version please?

Also, can anyone point me in the direction to get a Stock Recovery for 00 UK please? Or even how to backup/create my own?

Thanks!

after i type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" on CP, it said <waiting for device>... and my streak....showing... FASTBOOT_MODE... and i did follow the guide and install the drive..
[Streak 5 Android Development] jtavarez2010:
I think it should be "fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img"
[Streak 5 Android Development] dpetes262:
I have rooted my US Streak and attempted to install UK 1.6 so I could upgrade to 2.1. I tried to install through stock recovery and I was getting file not signed. So I went and bought clockwork recovery and flashed the through the app. Now when I boot into recovery I am getting the recovery screen but when I hit option 2 I get a black screen. I have tried installing many different rrecovery images and I keep getting the same issue. Any ideas??

Thanks,

Dan

Streak SIM free no brand (UK)

Hi,

I'm sorry for my difficult to drive aroud this Operative Sistem, I'm a user of Windows phone since 2000, and I do not know well promp DOS....

I explain my situation:

My device is SIM free, from UK, but not O2. No brand on the box or starting pictures....

I cannot perform FastBoot because I do not find drivers, also in manual mode...

My ROM is 1.6 b4399

I installed Universal AndRoot

After ROM Manager (free edition).

ClockworkMod Recovery is 2.5.0.1 (inside ROM Manager)

If I want to install a zipped ROM (2.1 Modaco), ROM Manager starts, after secting backup and clean cache....

the device restart without change...

How can I flash the 2.1?

Note: the zipped ROM is inside my microSD, in root folder and the name is the same of the download from this Forum...

Thanks for your help.

I have a US Streak. I tried to follow the 10 different methods on internet and none of them worked for me. Some caused black screen, some caused stuck at dell log, and others gave weird errors. This is what I did to make it work:

0: download everything before hand

1. super root

2. clockwork 1.8.1.7 (other version won't work)

3. O2 4399 ROM (other version won't work) renamed to update.zip

4. stock recovery ROM (very important to wipe the clockwork, and revert to the original boot img)

5. O2 8105 ROM (most recent Android 2.1 ROM) renamed to update.pkg

You need good knowledge about how those image and ROM works before working on this. But in the end, it's worth it! :)

Streak is dead...

I decided to close the affair Streak selling them.

I lose a bit 'of money but they gain peace of mind, because I consider it impossible to have an adequate support to a product conceived and badly managed worse.

First class is not born, we become with patience and humility, following the advice and being present.

Dell seems to me that is not on the road with mobile devices.
[Streak 5 Android Development] r00tcause:
>3. O2 4399 ROM (other version won't work) renamed to update.zip

The clockwork file package format is entirely different and you can't just rename it to .zip. That won't work.

desperately looking for help

Hi,

I just purchased streak with 6267 (00EU) version.

I read everywhere, that it is indeed upgradeable to 2.1 then 2.2

I followed instructions at the other thread.

Problem is, just after i flashed Update.pkg (Streak_104_4399_21.pkg), it says "software is up to date. Rebooting in 30 secs", and after rebooting, it actually

still is 6267

!!! :mad::mad::mad:

I tried for more than 5 times. All same results.

I also tried to factory reset, re-fastboot, re-flash recovery, then re-flash ROM. Still same results !! It still is 6267 after reboot..

Anyone knows which part I have gone wrong ?? Please guide me... I badly want my streak to go 2.2.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jf1288:
What i would do is: download koush's recovery, go into fastboot mode, ( hold down camera and power until u go into a white screen then choose fastboot, wait 10 secs plug in to comp, should say fastboot mode at the bottom) once in fastboot, unzip that recovery u downloaded, look for windows.bat file, double click, choose yes to any windows u get, cmd will pop up, should say "OKAY" on 2 of the lines, check streak screen should say done. Unplug remove battery, put it back, press vol up n down while turning on, install 2.1 from sdcard "install from sdcard" look for it, run it, once installed, press back key, choose reboot. Wait, might look like its stuck on dell logo but its not..

If it loads, turn off, press vol up down n power, install from sd card, choose update..
[Streak 5 Android Development] sultanbrunei:
I followed this instructions,

HOW TO RESTORE YOUR STREAK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION:

1. Download the stock recovery ROM here and the stock official Dell ROM here.

2. Rename the stock official Dell ROM 'Update.pkg' and put it in the root directory on your SD card.

3. Boot Streak in fastboot mode (hold camera button when turning on), press 'Fastboot Mode' button, wait 10 seconds then connect to your PC (must have Dell PC suite installed).

4. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where your 'fastboot-windows.exe' is stored.

5. Type 'fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery c:\recovery.stock.img' . Make sure the .img file is in c:\ directory. The program will now update the recovery image on your Streak.

6. Once the phone reads 'Recovery Done', remove the battery and insert it again.

7. Boot Streak in Recovery mode (hold down vol up and vol down when turning on) and select option 2.

5. Wait till it installs and it'll boot into Android....DONE!

from:

http://android.modaco.com/content/d...treak-back-to-factory-condition/#entry1355296

and I think, the only difference between your instruction and his instruction were just that you were recommending me to use "koush recovery". Was that gonna make any differences for me in this whole upgrading process, apart from using "stock recovery" ?

help with clockwork recovery

need help and please do not ignore. some feedback would be nice!

i just can't get clockword recovery working at all! man i tried every thing from instructions to my own intuition and nada. every method states its been flashed correctly but every time i boot into recovery i get stock recovery image. i tried fastboot flash method and it said okay in terminal and on phone still nothing. tried paul's .bat file which again said download done but no clockwork recovery. used rom manager from market which indicates that i have the clockwork mod installed but when try to boot into recovery via rom manager just boots back into OS bypassing stock recovery altogether. frustrated and annoyed after reading and trying all i can ........... i am now asking for help. trying to run command to remove install-recovery.sh says file does not exist.

question:

when flash clockwork mod do i need to wait for phone to reboot? if so how long do i wait?

PLEASE HELP!

i successfully flashed 2.1 via .pkg file and installed root. recovery is only thing thats proving a nightmare.

Followed the original guide by radddogg, running dj_steves 2.2 v1.0 O2 uk version.

I wanted to update to v1.1.1 but in the process i somehow managed to half loose root (device and universal androot confirmed root but su mode denied), my clockwork recovery screen vanished and any back up that might have been there sure wasn't in any folder i could access!!! screwed basically!!! The blank screen after stock recovery option 2 is only blank coz it cant find a compatible clockwork version to load. The above PDF link has download links for everything (including clockwork recovery.img.

Follwed every step to the "T" and it sorted everything :-) I've never used fastboot, ADB or clockwork recovery before but I can now :-)

[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
I had the same problem but I thought it was just me missing something out...I think out might be to do with the base band different to the one when nandroid back up was done but now you've saidthe same I will research :)

Any fix for this as I can't backup/restore images without this?

Cheers

[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
You really need to research a little before asking questions...you learn so much whilst browsing! I have just googled "e: cant find misc error using clockworkmod" and the results are endless... so much so... offering answers or a solution would be too easy.

Note: most results in page 1 are threads from xda. Dont forget this is a forum full of already answered problems too ;-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] odyseus:
I did google and found no solution, hence I'm asking here. I cannot restore from Nandroid get this error and a MD5 checksum error
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Ok I'll help you try and find a solution. Hopefully someone looking here might answer in the meantime. ;-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Have a look at http://androidforums.com/droid-all-things-root/160751-misc-partition-help.html
[Streak 5 Android Development] odyseus:
So it's a missing partition, which I can ignore. Just in interest, there are no hidden linux paritions on the SD eg ext1. I'm not sure if these should be here or not.

The checksum problem is still there, I tried the fix ie

adb shell

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53

# rm nandroid.md5

# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Is there another way of using Nandroid??

but it says it can't find mds5sum??
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
I've never actually used any nandroid backup coz if always been happy to flash a fresh rom but I just tried out of interest and got the same error? I don't even do apps2sd let alone any other partitions! Hmm... it said failed md5 incompatible. I don't know if that might mean the backup is a different baseband?
[Streak 5 Android Development] nanostreak:

[Streak 5 Android Development] slarty01:
Please is the gui version of clock mod's Rom Manager not supposed to sort all this out. I have tried all verions og image files on Dells v2.2 11548 image and I always get back to the stock pkg updater instead of clock mode on option 2, occasionally I have had a black screen but it just reboots and re strarts with the same baseband. Di I have to go all the way back to 1.6 and start again.. I will if I have too.. :( I like the streak and want to persevere but I feel Dell have sadly let down its customer base...
[Streak 5 Android Development] oddbert:
its not just you buddy mine is the same.
[Streak 5 Android Development] slarty01:
As a matter of interest after the black screen is it just going back to the default loader? If so I made a mistake with the install after running clockmod from fastboot then doing a fastboot reboot you need to press volup and down together with power off straight away after the fastboot reboot command when the screen goes from white to black. I was under te false impression that the clockmod was a there for good ... maybe it is but I let it go through and it would replace the clockmod boot up sequence with the default. If this is the same thing I'm not sure but the difference between 2.2 and Steve_DJ's ROM 1.4.6 is worth it! purely for stability
[Streak 5 Android Development] cheetah2k:
........ and mine also

I also tried both CW recoveries, and I was ok to get to the green text list, but selecting items presented me with a blank screen, and the backlit buttons were going crazy with random flashing...

CW recovery is rubbish IMO. Certainly nowhere near as professional as other Android phones..

I'm on 315_12332_00 Australian Optus unlocked Froyo 2.2 firmware.... :mad:
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmhalder:
the blinking lights are normal, its basically saying its a kernel mismatch error, its only aesthetic. as for the blank screen, are you sure you aren't pressing the power button?

Camera -> Select

Power - > Back

if you are at the root menu any pressing the power button, it will turn the screen on and off.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cheetah2k:
I just tried it again - the power button didnt do anything for me, and the camera button presented me with a blank screen.......

I tried both versions of the CW recovery..

I have given up to install clockworkmod on my dell streak. I am not been able to install it no matter what i try to do
[Streak 5 Android Development] slarty01:
As a matter of interest is the clockmod transfering if so when you do the fastboot x413c reboot command or what ever the ID number is I orget as soon as it reboots you have to press vol up and vol down with power button or its overwritten. I waited so many times for the system to reboot totally then shut it down and expected the clock mod to be installed however its only a temporary thing from what I can tell. This was my experience I hope it helps.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Biggzz:
link please.
[Streak 5 Android Development] gewin:
Found the same thing. It worked for me by flashing clockworkmod, then immediately powering down by removing the battery. Do not boot android, boot straight into clockworkmod using the press volume keys and power button.

Clockworkmod came up fine.

Before I did this I had the same problem of Android overwriting the clockworkmod flash.
[Streak 5 Android Development] toughnut:
I'm Streak v2.2 stock and trying to get clockwork running but for some reason, the vol up+down button work but camera button doesnt, rendering the whole thing useless.

Black screen

I've read and tried almost everything on this thread. I'm trying to flash perf-update-3.18.1.zip for 2.2. Here's how I did it:

1. Copied the zip to SD root

2. Went into fastboot mode:

Hold down camera and power buttons.

Release power on white screen.

Tap Fastboot (upper right corner)

Attach device to PC with USB

3. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to Streak_iLikeMyGPhone folder, which contains recovery.zip which I unzipped and kept recovery.img in the root of that folder

4. Ran install-recover-windows.bat in the same folder. Here's the contents of the batch file:

fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c reboot

The process completed and the Streak rebooted.

Powered down the Streak.

Recovery mode: held both volume buttons and power button.

Chose number 2 on menu

Result every time: black screen with blue text which will only run "update.pkg."

No CMR menu.

Please help.

Thanks

Whats your baseband and rom?
[Streak 5 Android Development] chinkostu:
i think some streaks are finnicky with the whole recovery thing. i've had 2 streaks, both would randomly refuse to flash anything, then all of a sudden start working properly. just be sure to keep hold of the images after you've used them, as i had to flash one, then the other, then boot, then the first one twice for it to actually boot into CMR from the recovery menu!
[Streak 5 Android Development] jhford:
I fixed it. Reinstalled CMR and removed battery before it rebooted.

[Streak 5 Android Development] bash_array:
After you flash recovery using fast boot, reboot using fastboot command. The phone will reboot. 1 second after reboot begins, hold down on volume up and down at the same time. You will be presented with the 4 option dell menu. Choose option 2 which is update. Pkg option. It will then boot to a dell logo with a exclamation point inside a triangle. At this point press the power button once. Then you will enter into custom recovery.

Im fairly new to the dell streak but not android. I use to have a x10 before this and everything went smooth.

With this dell streak I cant seem to get it to work. I had a long mess around before I could get fastboot to work. Now Im not sure If I have installed the drivers correctly because everytime I try to install recovery all I get is

c:\streak> fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

error: cannot load recovery.img

Any ideas?
