Wow, this makes it much easier. Thank you soo much!

One question, doing this will put me in 2.2 so the only thing I have to install will be streakmod and I'm ready to flash correct?

I'm not trying to skip steps, I'm just trying to figure out where I'll be after your directions.

Thanks again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
As I edited my post to say - I did not see you are starting from 1.6. I do not know if you can fix the phone with the steps I outlined if you started with 1.6 and suspect that you can not.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
2.2 recs in general shouldnt work on 1.6, he'll need to install the matching rec then ota update.

Whatever he does afterwards should work
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
Yep mani is right. U must 1st get the original 1.6 recovery, then flash one of the 2.2 pkg files which can be downloaded from the xda wiki for the dell streak after the pkg flash is complete just follow the instructions to update to 2.3. Simple.

If u can't get fast boot working then your streak is bricked. You'll have to get the streakflash utility to unbrick it.

i m not able to flash streakmod recovery on my streak AT&T version(US). i tried to flash it through fastboot nd its successful. but when i boot into recovery the 340 recovery appears on the screen.

need help..

thnx...
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Manii was nice enough to give you the answer in your other thread.
[Streak 5 Android Development] RussianSolja:
ive flashed the recovery but dont quite understand how to get into it. im trying to flash a kernel can someone help me please?
[Streak 5 Android Development] (InsertNameHere):
Power on holding down volume up and down at the same time.
[Streak 5 Android Development] vampirexhunter:
I installed the StreakMod, but I can't access it by pressing the power button.

I press the button at the dell logo, but nothing happens.

Do I have to do the Fastboot etc step everytime I want to access StreakMod?

I don't think its being rewritten as I'm using DSC v0.7 rom.

Any insight?

Thanks!

EDIT:

I am sorry for being an ass for asking...
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
WHY DO NONE OF YOU READ? When you boot it will go to the original Dell recovery, you choose option 2 to update from SD card, and THAT WILL take you to Streakmod IF you flashed it correctly, but I sincerely doubt that any of you with the questions flashed correctly if you didn't even read enough on how to access it.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the OP. The mere fact that you haven't read enough to know how to access Streakmod tells all of us you darn sure haven't read enough to EVEN BEGIN tweaking your Streaks because you will just be back posting in another thread posting about something you screwed up. SO PLEASE READ

wrong thread
[Streak 5 Android Development] japaneezy:
I'm new to the Streak but not to rooting/flashing. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get to the point where you run the fastboot commands. I have the DS in FASTBOOT_MODE, ADB drivers installed successfully according to instructions found all across ze interwebz and Device Manager. Unfortunately no one explains things past this in any of the threads. It's simply 'boot to fast mode and use fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery". Where is this command entered? I've tried running the fastboot.exe found in the downloaded zip but all it does (on 2 computers, one that already had drivers for my GNex and one a completely fresh image; both Win7 32 bit) all it does is flash the command window very quickly, disappears, and nothing else happens... I tried creating a bat file with the commands using Notepad but I get 'fastboot is not a recognized command' which leads me to believe there may be a driver issue but I've followed the directions to a T.

Any insight? :confused: This really shouldn't be taking 4 hours of reading and getting nowhere so I turn to the pros.

Tried this on a whim instead and it worked http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000455

Just in case anyone happens upon my same problem. Thanks for all your hard work devs.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rsfinsrq:
Page 6 of the PDF attached in this post describes how to use fastboot commands.

[Streak 5 Android Development] SuperKeeper:
I decided to change ROMs. So far, I've managed to update my recovery.img- so I did that by putting the device in fastboot mode etc and it said download complete on the device. But when I tried updating the update.pkg, it went to some status screen (with the picture of a box opening!?) but it had errors and the phone rebooted without wiping any data.

I've got a stock 2.2 from O2, 319, build 12792 and I got the pkg file and recovery.img file from the XDA Wiki page for the Dell Streak. Am I doing something wrong? And am I right in thinking that when I have succesfully got StreakMod installed, I can then create a Nandroid backup and then can change ROMS simply by putting the zip file on the root of my SD Card and updating the zip via StreakMod?
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
If you reboot a stock rom after flashing recovery, the recovery gets reverted back to the stock rom's version. Custom roms won't do this. Flash your recovery again, then issue the fastboot reboot command and as soon as the screen goes black, hold both volume buttons to enter Streakmod.
[Streak 5 Android Development] SuperKeeper:
Ah yes, I'm in StreakMod now! Thanks a lot.

And also, would I have to do this everytime I want to flash a custom ROM seeing as I do not have one on the SD card ready to be flashed?

And the fact that I used the recovery file that was attached onto the OP rather than the Stock recovery from the Wiki page?
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
There is a file that can be deleted or renamed, if you are rooted, that will prevent the phone from rewriting recovery. Once you are on a custom rom though, you don't need to worry as all the custom roms have had this "feature" removed. The only time you need a stock recovery is if you are going to flash a stock rom pkg file. Then you have to make sure the recovery's region is the same as the rom you are going to flash. Easiest way to do this is to just download the matching recovery from http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii

Found the file to rename in stock roms, install-recovery.sh and you will find it in /system/etc/
[Streak 5 Android Development] SuperKeeper:
Yeah, so I'm using Root Explorer now that should allow me to rename that file. But for example, I wanted to flash StreakDroid GingerStreak 2.4.4 so I updated my baseband (as directed in the post), but now I have the flashing lights problem- probably due to the fact that the ROM and baseband do not match. So can I rectify this by flashing the new ROM? And what recovery do I need for this custom ROM? Would this be 405 as this matches the new baseband that I have?
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
The recovery only has to match for updating to stock pkg files. Your baseband has to match your room or you get flashing lights. Most every ROM developer mentions in their first post which baseband is necessary.
[Streak 5 Android Development] goteks21:
Hi I have a small problen and I don't know if it's streakmod recovery but I can't flash rom anymore... everytime I select update from pkg.zip I chose any custom rom and right after it show opening package it automatically stop and go back to the previous menu (the one with reboot, update, etc..)

I'm on olleh 2.3.3

I use amss and dsp1 from DJ_steve's thread

kernel 2.6.35.7-perf

baseband GAUSB1A1406214-US

also when I select error report I get the confirmation that it's saved on my sd as recovery.log but when I open it it's empty.. anyway anybody can help :S

thanks a lot
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
Read this:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/Flashing_Guide and realize that pkg files are stock rom files flashed with Dell's recoveries while zip files are custom roms flashed with Streakmod.
[Streak 5 Android Development] goteks21:
ya i got that i already did every setup possible with my streak, what i'm saying is i can't flash zip files anymore. when i said pkg. zip it's because i didn't remember exactly what where the 2 option in streakmod.

i updated olleh by renaming the package to update.pkg and my custom rom by simply putting the zip file on my sd
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
You may have to flash Streakmod again
[Streak 5 Android Development] goteks21:
Finally I ended up being able to flash a custom rom again. I did a factory recovery and get back to rogers android 2.2 FW, flashed streakmod and installed olleh, did a factory reset from phone menu, put custom rom on sd, reflashed streakmod along with amss dsp1 and finally update from zip on sd in recovery and voila it worked.. weird but anyway I'm happy it's working now!

Umm, it's a sticky, meaning it stays at the top of the page. There's no need to bump it. That said, I agree with your sentiment. It does in fact do what it's supposed to do, and unlike CWM doesn't glitch and spontaneously reboot.

That's no way to ask for help. Now let's try again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
First - your post is rude, wrong and way out of line.

Second - read the opening post, in particular this part:

Third - most of the recoveries, roms, scripts, apps, etc. you get from XDA are FREE and developed by volunteers who get very little return for their time and effort. If something does not work the way you like take the time to create the stuff you need or want yourself. Complaining because stuff you are getting for FREE doesn't meet you expectations is just plain silly. The devs owe you nothing - if you think about it, those who use their work owe them way more than they owe us.

Last - the opening post was written in November, 2010. This recovery has been used successfully by MANY users since then. Does that give you a clue that it is possibly user error?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
@kobak: If you expect anyone to take you seriously, try posting using actual sentences. That means periods and capital letters. However, even if you did that I'm not sure we could take you seriously, since you apparently are incapable of actually reading posts and expecting to have things spoonfed to you.

Go do some reading and find the answer yourself, because with an attitude like that you're not going to get any help here.
[Streak 5 Android Development] kobak:
hi Now THANk's for help'S .Im not a English guy ,s o if you guy's have a problem with my sentences or whit language pls tell to GOOGLE ...

Iit 's not my error because "streak mod recowery "not working...I have been reading everything whit out success :( and that make me crazzzzy :eek: because i seeing in here "its work for me " BUT why not working for me ?!?!?!?any way And of the story for me...

[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
That's no excuse. There are plenty of translation websites out there other than Google that can take your input and create a coherent sentence out of them. Google is a site of last resort for translations.

If you've been reading, you've not been reading enough. Everything you needed to know was in the first post. Therefore, it's user error. Since you made the choice to come to this forum and complain about how StreakMod Recovery doesn't work instead of asking for help to get it to work, you're on your own.

You're welcome. Don't let the door hit you on the behind on the way out.

i just bought Dell Streak 5 with Froyo 2.2.2, BB GAUSB1A136000 and i want to install StreakMod Recovery (already download recovery-v0.3.2.7-DoctorWFix.zip & recovery-v0.3.2.8-beta.zip) my question is : do i must flash via fastboot the 2 recovery.img or just one..?? and on page one it says : Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu & At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu but where i can find file "update.pkg" ...??

Edited : Solved and Now Running Longhorn 2.9.1

Try reinstalling StreakMod. If it still occurs, restore the stock recovery then install StreakMod again.

Last resort is to install ClockworkMod.

What do you mean stuck? Was this temporary? Please explain and thanks for providing feedback!
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
Is the Dell Logo supposed to have an Exclamation beside it? Cause mine does...but I'm able to use it fine. THe screenies on 1st page doesn't have it thats why...
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
@cue_32,

Yes, the Dell logo is suppose to have the explanation point beside it. I updated it some time ago so a distinction could be made from the original boot logo. Seem to cause confusion with new users; they didn't realize they were in the recovery and thought the boot process staled. Plus, it is more in alignment with the original stock recovery ROM which presented an explanation point upon entry into the recovery. However, I did give a little customization by adding the Dell logo.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Oh, btw, I updated the photos on the first post. Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
Thanks BTW for this awesome recovery... I've been waiting patiently until all bugs are sorted to use this. I've finally completed my Nandroid backup (clockwork never finished before for me ) :(

Does this work on the White Dell Streak

I was wondering is this will work on my white one since nothing has so far.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Keethos:
Hi Guys,

Bit of a newb question, never used Nandroid before, but I've done a full backup and I have just updated from Official Froyo 315 to 318 and now I wish to restore all my settings and apps etc and I was wondering which partitions would I need to restore?

I've entered Nandroid Advanced Restore and I have the options of:

restore system

restore data

restore cache

restore firstboot

restore .android_secure

Can anyone advise on which ones to restore and even a quick explaination on what each one is for so I can get a bit more of an understanding of Android?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] HorusUK:
Just installed this now, and run several updates and a nandroid backup. Boy have I missed this functionality! Thank you SO much, keep up the good work. :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] huoyjii:
Does this Recovery works with the latest Froyo 318? I have had success using it with 309, and DJ_Steven's 1.4.6 until now when I am trying the 318 build.

I have use fastboot to flash this recovery twice. It works if I goes into this StreakMod Recovery (SMR) right after I flash it and reboot immediately into SMR. Once I reboot the Streak more than once, it always goes back into the 318 recovery... (blue text).

Am I missing something here?

[EDIT - Additional Info]

So, I reflashed this SMR (3rd time) and it seems like I am golden. I can get to the SMR at two reboot so far.

But, I am having issue doing a nandroid backup, it won't complete - Always stuck at "Backing up firstboot". I tried to pulled the battery and same thing the next time. I waited for more than 10 minutes each. I have had no issue doing a complete backup prior to this 318.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

New version posted...

Ok Guys,

New version posted. Even though version 0.3.5-beta should be bug free, I have decided to leave version 0.3.2 up as it has been proven to be pretty much bug free.

As always, feedback will be greatly appreciated!
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Not sure which version im on, downloaded a few days ago so I presume its the previous?

Thank you again! Im often swapping roms to trial different bits and I've been making themes too so quite often factory re-set (clockwork would never nandroid so I never got to appreciate the benefits) wow just tested backing up and it worked 100% no error misc or md5 mismatch :) the settings are all much clearer so I feel comfortable doing routine housekeeping... I also love the speed of mount sd... I use that all the time now :)

Where can I donate?

Hey, send me your recovery.log. If you go the advance menu and select "report error," the file recovery.log will be copied to the root of the sdcard. Please post the contents of the file in this thread.

BTW, I am about to post another update to the recovery, but I doubt it fixes your issue. But hey, give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] irtehun:
Well I used the other version and it gave me same error. Clockwork works fine though. Good thing I was thinking cause I reported error before I flashed clockwork back. Will post in a second.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Now I am very interested; you may have found a new bug. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback!
[Streak 5 Android Development] irtehun:
I reported error. But it seems it didn't copy the file to sdcard even though it told me it did. I'm guessing because it couldn't mount sdcard to be able to write the file. When I get home I'll try again and see if it works.
