So I spent the whole evening flashing to try to get the right magical sequence of events to get passed the sell logo. Today I tried again and was lucky. Starting from the 8105 2.1 Rom.

1. Copied all of steves zips to my card

2. Flashed recovery.alt.img (clockwork)

3. Reboot holding volume up and down

4. Select second option to go to clockwork

5. Select apply zip and chose 1.1

6. Reboot holding volume up and down

7. Factory reset

8. Wait for froyo desktop

9. Power off

10. Boot holding volume up and down

11. Select second option and chose the 1.1.1 update.zip

12. Reboot & wait for froyo desktop

13 power off

14 boot in flash recovery

15 flash the new baseband & reboot holding volume up and down

16 flash the new 1.2 zip and reboot.

17 wait for at least five mins ( I.e. skip the factory reset)

Worked for me

Just a request but now this thread has been updated a zillion times & more & more people are getting streaks...is there any chance of keeping this thread for previous versions & start a new one for 1.2 (development/beta) ??? Please, pretty please... with a cherry on top :-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] jerikthompson:
Does anyone still have the link for the 1.1 version? (not the update-release-1.1.1.zip)

Sorry....just found this!

still cant get my phone to show any form of life, even plugged into the wall. any suggestions. Left charging for over an hour, but no lights or anything come on.
[Streak 5 Android Development] STraver:
Maybe try leaving the battery out for a while and streak unplugged?
[Streak 5 Android Development] ryrules1:
yeah tryed that for about an hour. Didnt work. Thanks for the suggestion. I started a thread about it. Sadly I think my days of owning a streak are over :( Im really bummed.

Factory reset

Just thought I'd share that I had the new 1.2 up and running, over 1.1.1, great. But then I decided I wanted to start fresh with it and did a complete wipe of everything. Re-installed 1.2 fresh. And now I can't get past the dell logo. No mattter what I do. I tried the stock reset, clockwork reset. Re-installed 1.2 again. No luck.

Going back down to 1.1.1 and installing it over that again I guess.

Cheers
[Streak 5 Android Development] NoDoze:
FYI I too did a clean wipe...

Mine booted to the dell logo, got the animated logo twice, but now has been at the logo for over 20min with no animation...it's like watchin water boil, staring at it....LOL

...maybe it has to do with the clean wipe...?

Is this a good description of the issue people are running into?

Hopefully Doctor DJSteve has a fix soon ;) hehe
[Streak 5 Android Development] jerikthompson:
I finally got this working for me too...I was stuck at the Dell Logo too. My only suggestion to anyone that is trying the above directions...go slow and do everything as described. It took me 2 attempts because I was not doing the factory reset "correctly" on step 7...it did not work using Clockwork factory reset, use the factory reset on the "black and white screen" that displays after rebooting while holding both volume buttons.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and especially for DJ_Steve for all his work!

@ ryrules1

I had the same problem as you where window did not register my device when trying to fastboot -i 0x413c etc command prompt. I restarted my system and downloaded a new r1-6941-streak-recovery file and start adb command prompt again, then the computer recognize my phone. I was then enable to install baseband 2.1 through command prompt (download from working link above) and Froyo 2.2 V1. Can your get into fastboot mode? if so, give the above a try, it work for me.
[Streak 5 Android Development] vijay15:
Does anyone know how to get the unlock screen in portrait mode rather in landscape mode? is that even possible?
[Streak 5 Android Development] STraver:
How about the battery cover? Is there any chance it's bent or some of the clasps are bent? If that doesn't fit perfectly it might keep the microswitch "off" for the power. I've seen posts somewhere on how to actually glue the microswitch closed so the cover won't kill the power even when removed. I'd look into the cover as a possible source of the problem.
[Streak 5 Android Development] STraver:
Please see my post #684.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ryrules1:
Ive made some progress. If I take everything apart (Battery, SD, SIM, cover) and leave it for roughtly 20 mins. Put it back together I see the three softkeys illumated, however that is all. I cannot get it any further as of right now.

The battery cover looks in good shape, and keeps a tight seal as far as I can tell.
[Streak 5 Android Development] STraver:
Are you reasonably sure the battery is being charged? Does it get warm when plugged in? Have you tried charging via both USB and wall connector? It sounds like the battery might be very low. Maybe a call to Dell tech support?

1.2 Fresh

How to get a "fresh" install of 1.2, or get past stuck logo even with factory reset:

Starting from 1.1.1 prior to baseband upgrade for 1.2 (See Steve's instructions for the details of each of my steps)

1.) Wipe phone completely (boot, image, data, etc.)

2.) Install 1.1.1

3.) Stock recovery factory reset

4.) Load to desktop, reboot

5.) Install new baseband

6.) Install 1.2

7.) Should not need to do a factory reset, but if the logo sticks go ahead and do it.

8.) Load to desktop and done!

This is the closest to a "fresh install" of 1.2 it would seem, until Steve figures it out.

My initial install of 1.2 and baseband was over 1.1.1 that I had been using, without any wiping, and it worked fine. So these instructions are only if you want a "fresh install".

Thanks all
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:

[Streak 5 Android Development] NoDoze:
Ok, I may be asking a dumb question here, but I can't find the answer....

How do I get files onto my SD card when the phone won't even boot up?

fastboot?

adb?

There's got to be an easy quick way, right?

[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
Ok I started out with 1.1.1, flashed the new baseband, then updated to v1.2 and sadly got stuck on the Dell logo. Not sure what combination causes this, never happened before. Anyway the first thing I tried was to roll back, stuck v0.3 on the card and updated and got past the dell logo. Will give it a go again I guess...

Quick Question:

I have v1.1.1 installed and it is working great.

To upgrade to v1.2.0 , do I really need to wipe? or can I install over my current build as in the past? Only asking as I'm seen notes either way. Anyone having problems by not doing a fresh install?

Thanks,

[Streak 5 Android Development] awexdasome:
Like the ideal of new improved version but v1.2 still having auto rotation bug and performance is down base on benchmark so for now V1.0 is best IMO, well at least for me anyway. Hope Steve perfect his Froyo 2.2 in the near future, wish i can help (familiar with c++).

After 2 attempts i got the new 1.2 work!!! looks really nice! a bit laggy the Dell UI but its workable! great work Steve!!! keep it up!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Peter S.:
Hi,

I was on 1.1.1, and I didn't any wipe or factory reset.

Only installing the new baseband via fastboot and then, after pulling battery flashing the new-baseband-ROM via Clockwork.

After reboot all my installed Apps and all my settings are here!

I had nothing to reconfigure. Only the decision whether I want Stage or another Launcher (LauncherPro and ADW included).

Very, very easy. I'm glad.

Thank you Steven for this fantastic work!

Regards
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmbneaf:
Thanks Peter!

I'll give a shot later today & report back too. . . .

SDCARD permissions are not corrects ?

It seems that since the 1.1 Froyo I've a problem with acessing to sdcard (especially from Launcher Pro to backup setting on the sdcard).

All root access (Titanium backup, etc) are working well (obviously).

But when I try to backup (or to restore) Launcher pro setting it says that a problem accessing sdcard has been encountered...

When I take a look on permission on directory, we have no rights for the user :

/mnt/sdcard ---rxwr-x and owner is system:sdcard_rw

It is very strange, therefore all directories in it also have these rights...

We can also notice that the timestamp for the directory is 01.01.1970 at 1:00 !

I tried to change that with a terminal, but the chmod command does not say anything, but rights still the same.

Anyone have an idea of that ?

[EDIT]

I've found in init.rc the line :

setprop persist.sampling_profiler 1

with the following comment :

"WH Lee, make the SD card world-writable so any process can write snapshots

by removing the line in /system/bin/autorun_test.sh (that was to avoid the create of a "snapshots" folder on SD), the rights has become 777 on SD and all its content.

But now the snapshots contains thousand files...

Is there a way to stop snapshots files creation and make the SD world-writable ?

Best regards

Gaijin

Accelerometer Calibration

On 2.2 release 1.2, is there a way to enter engineering mode or calibrate the accelerometer? My Streak's stuck with the accelerometer pulling games in one direction. The dialpad code doesn't seem to work, though I tried screen calibration. That also didn't affect accelerometer. Tried reboots and pulling battery, etc. Anyone know how to reset the accelerometer? Thanks!:confused:

Signal Strength of Mobile Network -weaker?-

Since I updated to 1.2, the signal strength of my mobile network seems weaker. It took 5 minutes or so to find my mobile network, and even after the network is connected, the signal strength bars on top of the screen seldom trun on. When using 1.1.1, more than two bars were constantly turned on at the same location. I do not remember signal strength reading when 1.1.1, but with 1.2 it is -113dBm 0 asu. I am not sure if these rates are good. But at the same time, I see X, meaning "not connected" less times.

Going back to 1.1.1 and compare might be interesting, but will go with 1.2 for a while to see if it is a matter of connectivity.

[Streak 5 Android Development] molotov_sh:
Steve - or anyone else able to advise:

What impact would flashing the new baseband have if one wished to use the official 2.2 or is it taken from the leaked release hence would be replaced by the official 2.2?

I like the 2.2 1.2.0 release but these flashing LEDs are really annoying me now...

Many thanks and cheers for all the hard work :)

It says there is no such file or directory, unfortunately it doesn't say which one.

Some apps install properly, maybe because they don't install shared libs.
[Streak 5 Android Development] phjnky:
These instructions on Modaco from OrionBG cleared my market and fc problems.

1. downgrade the baseband and flash 1.1.1

2. after 1.1.1 is fully loaded and working go back to fastboot and flash the new baseband

3. immediately after reboot go to CWR and flash .1.2.0

4. DO NOT wipe or clear anything!!! The Rom will boot after a minute or three

My Wallpaper Answer - in detail . . . .

Best answer I've found is resolved from here:

http://forum.pocketables.net/showpost.php?p=55644&postcount=15

Download alkiera's Wallpaper.zip, and install the APK inside the ZIP file on your Streak.

Next, setup your wallpaper images to 800x480 and store them on your SD card somewhere. Then press and hold on the Streak desktop, pick live wallpapers,then select 'WallSteak'. From here you can pick your five different wallpapers. When done, hit the back button and select 'Set Wallpaper'.

Works great!

[Streak 5 Android Development] alex3305:
I also did (out of a habit) a factory reset after having 1.2 installed. But this also caused that I was stuck on the Dell logo. When I, however, did a 1.1.1 reinstall and did NOT factory reset after installing 1.2 all was fine :).

Running very fast. Seems even faster to me than 1.1.1 was. Thanks Stephen!
[Streak 5 Android Development] djruckuss66:

[Streak 5 Android Development] shingers5:
so lemme get this right............ you must flash v1.1.1 before flashing v1.2 even if you already have 8105 official build from o2 on it. been stuck on dell logo with phone vibrating like trying to boot but nothing. i am gonna flash v1.1.1 so do i have to flash that amass file again prior to flashing v1.2?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:

[Streak 5 Android Development] shingers5:

added HTC wallpaper from zedge app and also fancy widget from market......... looks a treat my Streak does! launcher pro works better than stage ui IMO so sticking with that! amazing!
[Streak 5 Android Development] rodjordan:
1. Run universal root and root your streak

2. Download a file editor and:

Navigate to system folder

Set it to rw mode

Find build.prop and edit it

Modify the line ro.sf.lcd_density=160 to whatever you want 140,160,180 etc

3. Save file

4 power off then on again

App crashes and market problems

Has anyone been able to find out why Apps crash and also the market issues in 1.2

I had it running but many apps crashed or would not install. Had to revert back to 1.1.1

Also, do you need to install 1.1.1 before installing 1.2 or can you go directly from 8105 directly to 1.2 (this is what I did and it did work).

Steve, any clarification would be helpful
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
Had this problem before...

Flash back to 2.1 baseband and flash 1.1.1. Then flash to new baseband and then 1.2. Don't do any factory resetting or anythin, and you should be good after that.

reset?

i am on 1.2 and need to reset the phone to start all over? where should i go? the factory reset on stock recovery or option in clockwork mod? well tried latter and phone won't boot! does that mean need to repeat whole process back to 2.1 baseband, v1.1.1 and 1.2? man what a way!
[Streak 5 Android Development] rodjordan:
I think that's the best idea. You could make a nandroid backup after the reinstall in case you need to go back again to a clean install. You could also use the new dell backup before. Good luck.
[Streak 5 Android Development] IncredibleDoes:
Change your DPI from 160 to 240 to fix your screen res issue, fits the screen a lot better and looks perfect with the dell Streak.

The change has to be done in build.prop like this:

BEFORE:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

AFTER:

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

160 density is used for lower res devices like the G1, mytouch, Hero.. or anything with a 3.2 inch display (320x480).

480x800 is Dell Streak display so therefore 240dpi settings works perfect.

Hope this helps!!

Screen Res 240

Has anyone with the screen res at 240 experience any issues with the phone app? When I set to 240 the phone app is HUGE and thus wont fit the screen, like the button labels are pushed outside the button graphic and can't read. Did I miss something?:o
[Streak 5 Android Development] NoDoze:
Puchg350 - use Root Explorer. It has the rw mode your looking for.
[Streak 5 Android Development] puchg350:
NoDoze, thanks for your information. "RW" worked with Root Explorer. But the "lcd=240" did not. When I changed the number and restart, all the icons became so big. So I put the number back to 160. Did I do anything wrong?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
no thats what changing density does, imo 240 is far too high for streak, it looks stupid and runins the reason dell put the density to 160 - extra screen space
[Streak 5 Android Development] puchg350:
Well, 160 is just comfortable for my old eyes. Just wanted to see how 240 looks like.;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] NoDoze:
Nothing wrong.

The higher the number the larger.

The lower the number the smaller.

I keep mine at 140 so I have the most real estate ;)
