stuck on dell logo - At&T Dell Streak 1.6 stock

Hi folks,

I have AT&T Dell Streak, it came in with 1.6 stock ROM.

I have executed following steps:

1. SIM unlock (Got the code from at&t call)

2. root (Android application (Root/Unroot)

3. Execute steps mentioned on this thread first page.

3.a first the step below:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

Then rebooted the Streak to rename the update.zip file. I noticed the phone was no longer working (No GSM signal) and that the lights on the 3 frontal buttons kept blinking all the time. When it turned on, only the "Menu" button light was ON.

3.b After I renamed update file to update.zip and flashed it according to the steps. The streak got stuck on the Dell Logo :(

4. I then tried factory resetting from recovery mode (same place we go to flash the update file). Did not work.

5. I then tried some of the recovery images available, using the recovery steps. did not work :(

6. I then tried flashing stock O2 ROM which I got on the Modaco forum. Did not work :(

any clues on what I could do next?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi I already upgraded my O2 streak OTA to 2.2 withuot knowing it has issues with rebel sim. I would like to install your Rom, but how can I revert back to the old baseband in order to have my baseband compatible with ur rom.

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
1.5.1 rebelsim version now up, also repacked 1.5.1 with ubuntu fonts :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] hammermedia:
Force close on Phone - Me too. I would get a force close every 10 seconds. Within 12 hours I have to wipe calls and contacts. The log said unable to write to database.

I use Titanium backup to wipe the data and then my exchange account populates my contacts and I good for a while.
[Streak 5 Android Development] msgnyc:
Your gonna have to put the stock O2 1.6 ROM renamed update.pkg if not already named (not update.zip) on your micro SD

Flash the stock O2 recovery from fastboot and flash the .pkg from recovery and let it boot up all the way.

Now put the O2 2.1 ROM renamed update.pkg onto your card and flash that update from the recovery and let it boot up.

From there you can now flash one of the custom recoveries and flash one of the 2.2 roms.

No Front Facing Camera with 1.5.1?

My front facing camera option is gone with this build.
[Streak 5 Android Development] msgnyc:
FFC works in Fring for me tho you can not toggle to it from within the camera app.

BTW,

Why is the headphone icon white now?

Cant see it on the task bar anymore. It just blends in. lol
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmr144k:
Is Fring the only way to get the front facing camera to work?
[Streak 5 Android Development] msgnyc:
Yup, Fring seems to be the only app that utilizes the Streaks FFC.

You can nolonger toggle to it from the camera app and none of the other video chat apps recognize it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmr144k:
Do you know if the FFC works with the camera app in the official Dell 2.2 build?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Kohawk09:
yes it does - but then it won't work on any apps that can use FFC (fring). Its a one-or-the-other kind of deal
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmr144k:
I really appreciate your assistance. Is there a way that I can toggle the FFC to work with the camera app?
[Streak 5 Android Development] jazzdude555:
The rebooting thing, is it a Rom feature or a Dell feature?

I had both on official Froyo and now on 1.5.1 at least 2-3 times a day. This Rom is far better on my opinion than stock bit I haven't yet found what could be the trigger to these re boots.

The worrying thing is some times on these re boots it hangs on the Del logo for what seems ages and ona couple of occasions I have had to remove the battery.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Prolab:
Do you have any installed 3rd party software?

One thing i can suggest is factory reset (of course backing up your text, call logs, dictionary) and install the programs one at a time.

Dont restore from a previous back up (from a diff ROM). See if that cures your resets.

So far, im 24 hr stable and havent had a random reset yet *knock on wood*.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jazzdude555:
The whole phone is 3rd party software, from launcher pro to all sorts of apps. The only thing I installed from a zip file after the Rom is the task bar in black mod. The ready of the apps are from the market.
[Streak 5 Android Development] barbarian616:
hey guys...

i rly do need some help. my english is not as good as it should be, but i hope you understand ;)

i want to flash the 1.5.1 to my dell streak, few days ago i installed the orginal 2.2 from dell.

i did everything discribed in the first post, but i cant find an option to flash the update-1.5.1.zip to my device.

i flashed the amss.mbn without problems but when i do the reboot, i dont see an "option 2" for flashing the new rom.

maybe you can help?

edit: do i have to rename the update-1.5.1.zip to update.pkg and flash it from the recovery (booting the streak with volume keys pressed) ?

edit2: i got it... i missed the fact that i installed the orginal recovery few days ago so i cant load the update.zip... flashing now to 1.5.1 thanks for your work :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] tiernoren73:
The rebooting thing is a streak thing. The cover on the back seems to be loose. I put a business card in it. It made it tighter and stopped the reboots. Probably not to good of an idea, but it worked. I haven't had a reboot since.
[Streak 5 Android Development] stoney73:
None of the links for NOBB 1.5.1 . work for me, one just gets a cant display this page, another just says incorrect address, and the other sends me to a site which doesnt have anything newer than 1.5.0.

Any ideas?

EDIT: eventually downloaded it from a link in a Polish webite(bizarre!) http://forum.android.com.pl/f230/froyo-rom-29058/

Thank goodness for google translate
[Streak 5 Android Development] BetaFoil:
Hi, I am on 1.4.6 and noticed something weird. When I put a different sim in my phone (I am locked) when I boot up it use to ask for an unlock code in 1.6. but now shows the android lock pattern instead. Note: I do not have pattern lock when booting up with my regular sim. Has anyone seen this or know how to get around the pattern. I did not attempt any patters as I heard It could hard lock my phone from failed attempts.
[Streak 5 Android Development] aonavy:
anyone have a issue with in coming calls? doesnt notify you? it rebooted on me once. anyone?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Prolab:
I can tether with USB fine. And ive read the log that wifi tethering has been fixed, but im still having problems doing so.

So anyone having problems enabling hotspot and working? Even barnacle and WiFi tethering wont work.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Prolab:
Nope, not on me. Does it ring? or it just go straight to VM?

Go Steve Go!

Donated $10 USD to Steve for the cause!

Got my US AT&T Dell Streak yesterday, and its running Froyo today!

Thank you for the effort! Patiently waiting for Cyanogen & other updates!

I also challenge other Streak owners/posters here to donate as well . . . .

~J
[Streak 5 Android Development] Peter S.:
Hi Steve,

thank you for this fine working Froyo!

I donated $10 USD and I am surprised at the recipient's name on paypal...:confused:

Peter
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
paypal account links to my partners bank hence paypal needs to be in her name :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Peter S.:
oh, I thought, a girl is the greatest programmer of all time :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
nah she coudln code haha just need it in her name for bank link - quite annoying really but i live with it :
[Streak 5 Android Development] porambo:
I really like the froyo build and I sent some money your way Steve. The only bug that I had was the orientation would get stuck occasionally. Is there any chance you might work on the option of getting the lock screen to lock to portrait mode for the text and notification bar?
[Streak 5 Android Development] jrgnd77:
What bugs??...Everything I have tested or used works...

My only complaint would be some apps not showing up on the Market...For example Google Voice...

But that could be due to it not being compatible with Froyo...
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
Looking for a little help....i got the clockwork mod on....streak as follows

Red, uk model, native from dell, unlocked - got the o2 2.1 image on there. when i try to run the flash it says (810) unverified - 2 lines of code (cant remember exactly as i tried it earlier on today) gets less than a third the way through and then resets....ive googled for it to see if anyone else has had the problem but none it seems like this - clockwork mode went on fine though....

Thanks to anyone that helps

Comfy
[Streak 5 Android Development] mywingtophone:
well all those u mention are major bugs so in short its not worth it specially that the froyo will be out later this year.

BUGS:

1) Video camera locks up when you press record.

2) No way to use the front-facing camera.

3) Orientation sensor stops working sometimes.

4) WiFi HotSpot doesn't work right.

5) Battery life is good, but not as good as stock.

6) Personal-Choice: I greatly miss the Dell notification bar, app drawer, shortcut bar, and way of rendering menus near the menu button. Being able to toggle WiFi or get in to settings without having to go back to home first is the greatest thing Dell ever gave to Android.

7) I also miss the prompt when you connect a USB cable (charge, mtp, mass-storage).

Benefits: 2.2 with Flash working!

Personally I'm going back to 2.1
[Streak 5 Android Development] jrgnd77:
1) Video camera locks up when you press record.

What settings? On 360P and MPG4 I made this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap9w0AbeIJQ

2) No way to use the front-facing camera.

I use Fring and video chat with the front camera just fine.

3) Orientation sensor stops working sometimes.

It is slow at times, but I haven't seen it stop working.

4) WiFi HotSpot doesn't work right.

Haven't had a problem with it.

5) Battery life is good, but not as good as stock.

I don't see a difference...

Awesome work. Working great on my US Dell Streak. =)
[Streak 5 Android Development] petesbodyparts:
Hmmmm,

720p dont work - It does work and 99% of members on here can attest to that

missing apps on marketplace - a known issue yes.

battery life not that good - on 0.2 I'm finding it's pretty good and far better than my HTC desire.

it's not faster than 2.1 - the stock 2.1 Dell released was a basket-case. This is significantly faster, but maybe you have eleventy trillion apps running at once...

wifi/ 3g toggle switch is buggy - it's a beta do deal with it like most early adopters do

touchscreen sometimes becomes unresponsive after pulling out of your pocket. - Yea, and the stock 2.1 was a dreamy experience in trying to swipe to answer a call! Nope, 0.2 is again good enough that I look at my Streak as a far better experience.

Remember, these are beta releases, and if you want something that is stable, boring, has a tiny screen and pretty games, then get an iPhone. If you want a phone that's made to be an open platform, is well supported by the community and has an interface in more colours than blue, then stay with Android.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
amen to that :)

im testing some edits as i speak to speed up performance a little more (~1200 quadrant scores instead of 700-800)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ok folks, testing time

anyone who has any skills with adb can try these changes

ideally on the v2 update

updated build.prop : http://downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve/tester/build.prop

updated init script : http://downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve/t...om.post_boot.sh

to install push build.prop to /system

and

push init.qcom.post_boot.sh to /system/etc

this has pushed my quadrant score to within about 50 points of a 2.2 nexus one and increased neocore to 31fps and nenamark1 to 21fps (from ~15)

could use others to test if it works too. remeber both files need pushing to see benefit

also cheers to fards for parts of the build.prop changes
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
I have put the froyo beta through a full days worth of abuse and the battery life is holding up well, I would say about the same as stock 2.1 which is pretty impressive considering my streak is now flying. I made the taskbar black to match my sense look and widgets using quikt's Black notification bar in the themes section, its a work in progress but already looks very good.

I tested my fav games on psx4droid and I was very impressed. FF7 was playable but slow and buggy in 2.1 and now it runs perfect, just started legacy of kain which is actually playable now.

I do however miss the good camcorder, I have a 6 month old boy and Im constantly filming him doing random things so I hope its fixed soon. Also the orientation bug is a another biggie for me, it usually happens when loading certain apps, and stays landscape till I reboot.

On another note, I'm getting quite annoyed with the totally pointless comments appearing, please read the title as 'Beta' and check out the number 0.2 meaning early stages. I have flashed roms with no wifi, wrong screen orientation and constant crashing that were twice as old as this one because we are testing an incomplete port and giving feedback to help the devs, please be constructive or don't bother at all..

EDIT: Pushed the new files, not sure If there's a noticeable difference, Ill report back after playing with it.

[Streak 5 Android Development] hussamb:
Hi Steve and thanks your effort in this.

Steve or anyone who might help,

Since I was one of the people who overwritten the baseband. Is there a way to UNDO this and start following the updated list of steps. I have been trying for a while but didn't get anywhere. I've tried nandroid restors, reflash, dowgrade from 21 to 00...

thanks again and in advance.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
you HAVE to use the /pkg file to downgrade those are the only way for now to change radio baseband, i went back from updated baseband to stock other day took me 2 flashes of 8105 pkg to work but work it did
[Streak 5 Android Development] jpierini:
Thanks DJ_Steve! Hate the animations, used Metamorph to get rid of the folding windows. That said, previous versions have been flakey at best, always forcing me to go back to my iPhone. But, I've been around ROMs long enough to know its always a matter of time. But I've been a lurker and haven't been giving feedback and I promise to do something more constructive with 1.5.1.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bose.jhebert:
I keep getting this with 1.5.0, 1.5.1

white streak, stock 2.2

anyone find a solution to this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] jazzdude555:
Come to think of it, the reboots have happened either when pulling he Streak out of my pocket (pressing the back plate) or in the car (vibration).

Is there a software fix for this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
I just installed Steves 1.5.1 over my 2.2 318. Very impressed it seems quadrant scores are lower than stock with tweaks. Thats ok because so far love the auto flash my GPS locks in within seconds inside the house.:eek: The quandrant scores are around 1400. I was getting 1600 with stock with tweaks. Anything I can do to improve this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] alucardnos:
sorry for the noobish question

i have unlocked dell streak updated to 2.2 original froyo

should i install the baseband or nobaseband version?

do i have to flash the amss.mbn file first and then what?

thanx
[Streak 5 Android Development] Krisbo:
Hey Steve. Just noticed a bug with 1.5.1.

When playing music, Drum Session or playing any other media, it plays the sounds through the ear speaker as opposed to the rear speaker. I've reverted to 1.4.6 and the problem doesn't exist in that build.

Thanks,

Krisbo
[Streak 5 Android Development] avneeshshrotria:
hey steve ... im sure people must have asked you this question before also but i wanted to ask you till when are you going to continue supporting 2.2 Froyo ? My thinking is the sooner you stop the sooner all the streaks will get 2.3 Gingerbread ....

i got my streak like a month back... i can say one thing even if DELL do a 2.3 update (Highly doubt it) it will s*uk.... that being said ... i was on the official build for like 2 weeks(Was getting used to the android Dev/HAcks/ROMs... etc) but after leaving the dependence on Dell i think im a happier person...

im currently on your 1.5.1 BUILD , which ROCKS...

1 bug/missing thing compared to the OFFICIAL build i noticed ... when you are playing music and a call comes in , after you finish the call the music does not resume playback ...

Anyways hope you continue to to all the GOOD work you do for all the DELL STREAKS of the WORLD ...
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
i will be working on 2.3, hopefulyl i can team up with the other dev in here to get it working faster and better :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Shadowphox:
+1 on the music issue.

Sometimes it occurs when I get too many text messages at once.

Is there a way you could have the texts just beep with the song still playing? Or at least give the option for it.

Another issue, when I go from landscape to portrait it often bugs out or doesn't work. It's very random, like I can't really explain why it does or does not do it for me. Some days it's compliant, but like yesterday it wanted to stay in landscape and swyping is soo much easier up and down but was stuck.

1.5.1 is legit though!! Much improved from 1.5 to be honest!! FFC needs to work again!! Tango is just not the same lol
[Streak 5 Android Development] jpierini:
My notes so far for 1.5.1

Bugs corrected:

Bluetooth volume works

Ring tone selection works

Voice Command no longer FC

GPS locks in under 5 minutes in-doors, 2< faster if downloading AGPS file first

720P Video works well

This feels like the most solid build yet, great work!
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
Great news steve you are our streak savior!
[Streak 5 Android Development] tmotytn:
Still getting the FCs on the phone app, and this morning the app wouldn't let me dial out...

Also, maybe related, maybe just random--the alarm didn't ring out loud. The alarm worked because the screen had the snooze/dismiss option, and I hit the snooze to see if it would ring in 10 mins, but it didn't...

Just re-flashed 1.4.6... :( ...I don't remember having those issues before 1.5.1...:confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] jpierini:
My phone has FC'd on com.android.phone on the last several builds, usually when answering and when hanging up a call. I had hoped that 1.5.1 would fix that but it's still occurring. :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] mobile88:
A forum member has same problem. Dell replaced it with a new unit. If you go to DELL support forum, several users has reported similar problem and got replacement as Dell acknowledge it as a a build defect

[Streak 5 Android Development] luvgothchix1:
I just upgraded to the streak a couple days ago from my iphone. I was going to go back to the iphone until I loaded 1.5.1. This built fixed everything I did not like about the streak. Thanks Steve for a solid build. I think I might not go back to an idevice anymore.

Please can you stop quoting the devil in the forum please lol icrap:)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Baldyl0cks:
I was having the same issue, I downloaded the clockwork recovery file from the latest clockworkmod thread in the streak developmental thread, flashed it with fastboot and tried again. New clockwork fixed it.

Does anyone have a DJ Steves 1.5.1 compatible black notification bar? :E
[Streak 5 Android Development] jpierini:
I'm still getting FC's on the phone process, is this a problem for anyone else? It happens inconsistently when answering and hanging up a call. I wonder if this could be a 3rd party app with phone process permissions screwing things up?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Biggzz:
It is happening to me too. It always seems to happen at the worst times when i actually want to use my phone...LOL!
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
I have gotten fc with this app. I havs also had and issues with everything stuck in landscape. Nothing would rotate. Had to do a reboot.

Hey there,

I bought my father a white Dell Streak yesterday from Best Buy for $100. I really wanted to get FroYo on here, because 1.6 was just unbearable.

So, I just followed this entire guide: http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=78

And it seemed to have installed 2.2 just fine.

Just curious: What are the advantages of using this build versus whichever one was installed via QDLTool? Here's a picture of my current "About phone" screen (taken with an iPhone 4 :D):

Thanks.

Force Close on Phone

I haven't had a force close on Phone today. I uninstalled Dialer One and if I don't get any more force closes I will re-install it to see if it the reason for my force close.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jpierini:
I lied, the phone process com.android.phone is crashing in the middle of calls as well as answering and hanging up, making it completely useless as a PHONE.

Anybody have any idea where I should start troubleshooting?
[Streak 5 Android Development] mobile88:
Why dont you do a factory reset and reinstall your apps . Some of these FC issues is due to eithere apps restore thro a backup ( eg Titanium or MyBackup Pro) or it is reatined intact after you upgraded to 1.5.0 and above

I noticed this issue when I upgraded to 1.4.6. So I manually reinsatll and never face this FC at all. When I upgraded to 1.5.1 , I notice once in a while I see FC in some apps and calls too. So agagin I did a factory reset and reinstall everything manually. It just takes me an hour but worth the effort. After this done till now never have any FC at all
[Streak 5 Android Development] jon_570:
Idk if this has been addressed but when im listening to music and I get a notification the music player closes. Not force close but stops playing until I open it again
[Streak 5 Android Development] tmotytn:
+1 on the factory reset

This morning I went back to 1.4.6, but kept reading how everyone was having great luck with this build. Figured i'd give it another shot...

I factory reset the 1.4.6, reflashed 1.5.1, and manually re-installed all my apps as I followed my wife around as she shopped. So far so good...seems like a different device...maybe it did have something to do with restoring from backup.

I will be keping my fingers crossed for the next day or so...
[Streak 5 Android Development] besweeet:
Just a quick update on my previous post here from earlier today.

I went ahead and updated from the QDLTool of Android 2.2 for my white Streak over to the 1.5.1 version of 2.2, and everything seems fine. The only reason I updated was because this build was rooted and I wanted to get rid of a whole bunch of the preinstalled applications.
