Ok

so from stock 2.2 I need to do the following in order to install DJ Steves Rom to my SIM free phone (it is not O2 or AT&T)

1. download 1.8.1.7 streak - clockwork recovery - install Dell PC suite.

2. install fastboot from there

3. Root my phone using Universal Androot or ZRoot4

4. Install Clockworkmod Recovery (as was in the above folder)

5. Download Steve's latest ROM and install.

I take it that the above versions are correct for my phone with 2.2 because the latest ROM the guide refers to is 2.1.

Now presumably, when I want to upgrade to a newer ROM, I just use Clockworkmod Recovery and flash the ROM from my SD card?
[Streak 5 Android Development] SonicTab:
Great guide.

Many new people are coming to Andriod due to the Streak, Galaxy Tab and other devices.

It's great that you took the time to put that together.

Can't locate Android Bootloader Interface

Hi-

I am following the "What You Need to Know" Manual to install fastboot. I have Dell PC Suite and Fastboot.exe installed on the root drive of my PC. When I put my Streak 2.2 (318) into Fastboot mode, I need to install the Android Bootloader Interface driver. I can not locate that driver. Win xp Pro PC. Google and xda searches all indicate the necessary drivers are included with Dell PC Suite.

If you are wondering how I got 2.2 (318) on this att 1.6 Streak when I can't even set up Fastboot, I used the QDL Tool method and then OTA from (305) to (318).

Any guidance to locating the Android Bootloader Interface driver would be greatly appreciated. A link to download it even more appreciated!

Thank you for any help and a huge thank you to all who contributed to the What You Need to Know...Manual. I apologize for begging for help on my first post.

[Streak 5 Android Development] krazman325:
Bricked it!

Following up on my post above, I was finally able to get into Fastboot Mode. Installed Clockwork Recovery mod but that only produced a black screen as I am on 2.2. Instructions in "What You Need to Know About Dell Streak" said to try the other 3 Recovery options Links. Tried option #2 which turned out to not be what it was supposed to be. It was a SuperBoot and when installed, sent my Streak into a reboot loop with flashing LEDs. Since I don't have a working Clockwork recovery, I can't flash anything to repair it. I tried a Factory Reset, but it did no good.

The End.
[Streak 5 Android Development] FIT4C:
I have made it to the command prompt instructions however when I enter "fastboot" after the "c:\streak" prompt I get...

"fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

Stuck from here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I got to manually install the fastboot driver,

I click google inc. and my only option on the screen is android adb interface. android bootloader interface is not an option. dell pc suite is installed.

is there a way to fix this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Shervy2k:
Thank you for this guide it was great for me being an android noob but I have one problem.

When I go into clockwork recovery v1.8 and select the 2nd option to flash using update.pkg it actually states "update.zip" and when I select it it gives an error stating no update.zip was found on the sd card slot. Am I supposed to zip it before I place the img file onto my sdcard?

Thanks!

I am on the 6601 built on my ATT Streak with 1.6 and I'm trying to flash to the 2.2 dell supplied img.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Krad:
why is this not sitckyed???? this should be at the top of the forum.. Very informative.!!

thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] Krad:

[Streak 5 Android Development] JacquiG:
What now...?

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and am really thankful for all the support and activity in these forums and am hoping someone might be able to assist me as I've had extensive problems (followed many of the various ways to try and upgrade) upgrading my Rogers Streak.

I was sure I'd bricked my Streak but finally made it all the way through the instructions in this guide and it 'appears' all went well. I saw all the right prompts in all the right places. After the last step though, replace the battery, I restarted and am now sitting at a black screen with the lights lit (plugged in charging).

Is it still working and will just take some time on the first boot? It's been about 20 minutes and I'm hesitant to do anything concerned I'll tank some action that's still in process.

Any suggestions of how long I should wait or how to proceed? If this doesn't work I have detailed my (numerous) attempts/fails and can come back to seek guidance with those details.

I originally started at:

Rogers Dell Streak v1.6

Baseband 32-us

Build 7921

Vista x86 32bit

B/C of the failed attempts, I have no idea what state I was in when I began this last attempt following these instructions.

Thanks so much.

Jacqui
[Streak 5 Android Development] JacquiG:
Status update...

It failed.

I've attempted a few recoveries using clockworkmod and they fail too. For a day now I've been unable to even start my Streak - I get the fastboot/dell logo loop. I can still connect to my desktop in diagnostic mode and I can boot into clockworkmod on my streak (thank goodness). Maybe if I can get a correct zip to sd card, clockworkmod will work for me.

I'm back to trying QDLTool. I keep failing on the ADB driver timeout. I'm confident my drivers are installed correctly (see the correct Qualcom driver in QDLTool and Android Bootloader Interface in device manager).

Watching my device manager and QDLTool simultaneously it appears that by the time Vista gets around to loading the device it's at about the exact same time QDLTool times out. When the QDLTool times out I loose the Qualcom connection and my Streak is now sitting in fastboot mode. Trying a scan with QDLTool doesn't rediscover the device and connect.

Is there a way to extend the timeout of QDLTool or to get Vista to recognize and load the device driver faster?

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks....

Jacqui

Update Sunday evening...

My factory reset just continues in the reboot loop. I am no longer able to fastboot, get into clockwordmod or connect to my pc. The only menu I now am able get into is the factory 4 option recover, install pkg for sd card, etc. I can run factory/emergency recover but the reboot just loops once complete. Looks like it might be back to the store :-(

[Streak 5 Android Development] sfrrr:
I'm in the same boat. Please help.

Did anyone provide an answer for this question?

I've spent almost all of my waking hours this week trying to get qdl to work. I'm stuck at the adb timeout (ERROR[D2]: wait ADB fastboot mode timeout) (although it's true that the modem also doesn't load, although adb times out while qdl is looking for the modem). Then, the streak goes into the while screen with FASTBOOT_MODE printed on the bottom. But when I try to see the streak in a PC file explorer and/or when I go to a PC command prompt and type that fastboot code thingy, the PC can't find the Streak. I changed USB port a few times, but the PC then didn't recognize that device. When I put it back to the original USB port, it finally installed the qualcomm drivers perfectly.

I'm an old (literally) windows, windows mobile, and palm hacker, so I don't know whether these updating problems are my problem or android's (or AT&T's or Dell's). Well, maybe not hacker but fiddler. I can't get the Streak on 1.6 to do what a phone needs to do--I need 2.2 for that. And I'm just about ready to junk this thing, resurrect my FUZE on Windows 6.5, and wait until the Nexus S comes out.

Please help.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sfrrr:
...sigh...

New info. Streak loses its connection to QDL as soon as it starts waiting for the reboot. I interpret that to mean that it reboots and doesn't reconnect. And then when it fails, the Streak goes to the white screen saying fastboot_mode and stays there until I remove the battery. Then I can boot up normally.

Today, I decided to start from the beginning. I found and eliminated two ghost USB hs diagnostic 9002 (or whatever it's called) drivers, but windows made me reinstall same even though I had left the remaining one alone. And then I had two again. Ran QDL again. No difference. So, I did a factory reset and entered the twilight zone of continuous loops, alternating between the Dell logo (without the purple flare) and the "factory reset please wait for reboot" screen. Only way to shut it off was to remove the battery, but when I plugged teh battery back in, the loop started again. So, I held down the left volume button while plugging in the power adapter, and QDL recognized it with the correct qualcomm driver. I ran QDL, it failed in exactly the same place as it did the last 20 or 30 times, and this time dumped me into a black fastboot mode with the message: DT is in FASTBOOT_MODE. If there is anyone out there with an idea, I'd be ecstatic to read it. Thanks.

And, thanking you in advance, I am sincerely yours.

[Streak 5 Android Development] sfrrr:
So. I bricked that phone and got a free exchange unit from dell. Also 1.6. However, through a very complicated set of maneuvers, I now have a brand-new, unlocked streak with 2.2, and, except for rooting it, I'm not modding it.

Rant: what kind of operating system makes it impossible to permanently install its own drivers? What kind of operating system makes it very difficult to install its own updates? I've worked with and on personal computers and handhelds since the c/pm days (or is it cp/m?). I have never had a failure before and so I'm affronted. Even worse, I wasted almost two weeks trying to upgrade 1.6. If android weren't so damned interesting, I think I'd to back to Palm or WinMobile.

Bah!

To anyone who was able to flash clockworkmod; how long did the process take? Because I seem to be stuck on the screen below.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] fayeznoor:
i am sure you all remember after the release of Samsung Galaxy S, a Russian site disclosed information about proposed Samsung Galaxy S2 with following specs.

4.3” 1280x720px Super AMOLED 2 display

2GHz CPU,

1GB RAM/4GB ROM

32GB of built-in flash memory, +32GB microSD card slot

8 megapixel camera with FullHD video recording

A-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n

3.5 mm headset jack

Accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity and ambient light sensors

OS GingerBread

Many thought that its fake or fan-boy gone crazy...well they must think again cuz samsung has announced some amazing news last day.

A "DUAL CORE A9 1ghz Processor"

The system-on-a-chip (SoC) is codenamed Orion, it is based on the dual-core Cortex-A9 architecture from ARM, and will have the cores running at 1GHz. Samsung claims it will be 5 times faster in graphics rendering than its current Hummingbird.

Full HD video recording and decoding at 30fps, support for cameras up to 18MP, and support for up to three displays simultaneously - two on the device itself, and one external HDTV, for example, via HDMI-out. The Cortex-A9 chipsets also should deliver 30% reduction in power consumption.

have a look at following sites:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
specs are just the max of what we could imagine. That's why I am skeptical. Talking about 3.0 when 2.2 is not final on the I9000 - that's a rather bad sign.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fayeznoor:
they will for sure give up on some specs when releasing the phone. and it will also depend on competitors product.

gingerbread is reality. android has already started spreading rumors abt Honeycomb (next version after gingerbread).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
Whether the source is legit or not... I wouldn't be surprised if most of those specs are true.

We haven't heard of a "Super AMOLED 2" yet, but it would be a damn fine screen if it say, fixes the color banding on current pentile amoled (maybe use the RGBW I've heard about, that'd be awesome xD) and other issues (improve battery?)

Personally I think the current SGS size is perfect, so a 4.3" screen.. well they better have absolutely no wasted space around the screen lol.

It would also have to have hdmi out, either micro-hdmi or more likely the same connector as the galaxy tab.. and on that note, these specs sound very similar to the tab on steroids (tab already has confirmed gingerbread update + 1280x720 screen iirc).

If they release it (assuming it exists) in <6 months though, I think most of us would be a little mad though.. lol.

EDIT: OMG. maybe "Super AMOLED 2" could one of those foldable AMOLED screens... that would be pretty sweet haha!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
If they can achieve the screen then nothing else listed is really that mindblowing, particularly if OPs sources are accurate (OP, I didn't read them, too busy). @Froyo/gingerbread, Froyo is supposedly ready in a fashion that they can use it (and have put lots of work into getting apps to scale) for the tab. It's fairly apparent that the Galaxy Tab has been the focus of their software department for the better part of a month, but we will reap part of those rewards even if it has partially delayed our Froyo...it's definitely not too early to talk about Gingerbread, particularly if Samsung can work with Google (Google might be very interested if they like the Galaxy tab) to become the next Google-Experience Device.

I agree on 4.0" being the sweet spot, then again, before big devices become in vogue I wanted the 5.0" Streak until SGS was announced.

In the other thread about this topic a user said, 4.3" makes the rumors less likely because why would Samsung switch sizes (I know that's not what you said but I'll paraphrase my reply to him anyways). ...'I completely disagree. First, perhaps it was too hard for them to fabricate 4.3" in a device that they expect to sell like the SGS. 2nd, what percentage of Samsung's customers will upgrade from a 4.0" to a 4.3" 6 months later, they are trying to hit a different niche that perhaps opted for the Evo or would prefer a 4.3" if they were out of contract.'

As far as the progression of smartphones go, the faster the better, make my device obsolete tomorrow and that means the newest ones are nearly literally mini-laptops...I wouldn't need one for the duration of my contract. I'd only be jealous of the screen, and that is a jealousy I can live with (and probably pay a premium to switch devices for). Everything else, I'd be able to live without, and I bought this device thinking "This is the one I won't worry about for a year." Shorten that to 6 months and touche Samsung, you've done your job and done it well. The way the smartphone market is these days if they don't do it someone else will (well, they prob cant do screens like these for at least 12 months).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Looks pretty awesome to me. I absolutely agree, 4" screen is perfect. 4"3 is a bit too wide, not as easy to hold in one hand.

But i mean, let's be real, all of this depends on the software they'll put in it. Samsung is getting much better at supporting their smartphones but still...

If this thing gets a good OS / support then it will kick ass (look at the X10 still on 1.6...)

AND, who knows what competition will have out by then. Maybe a new iphone 6 with even less buttons ;)
