So i have confirmed this too be true as well. i was never able to get past the fastboot part during a nandroid backup on stock 318, but after installing the performance fix, i know get a full working nandroid backup. So this may help narrow down where the problem is.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Davidsy:
yeah ok. it works now ...
[Streak 5 Android Development] B1ny:
I can confirm as well :)

Thanks - A Life saver

Had installed Cyberon Voice Commander which locked up when running. After unistalling, the gyro was non-functional in the phone. Orientation would not change with turning the phone, bubble level apps showed level no matter what the phone's inclination. Pulled the battery, still no go. Turned auto rotate on and off, still non go.

Restored from your nandroid backup that I created a few days ago, and everything is back to normal.

It is great to know that the backup created can be used to fully restore the phone!!

Thanks,

Thanks, and Thanks again!!!!!!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] :
Hi everyone. I've been using Steve's 1.5.1 for a while now and I've had no problems - it's absolutely fantastic. I've had one small issue that seems to be exhibited by my device only ( from what I've asked around ):

When I use a toggle widget to change my screen brightness - the changes are very unreliable, especially when I switch to Auto-Brightness.. nothing happens until I actually go into Settings > Display > Brightness. At this point whatever change I made with the toggle suddenly takes effect, as though it just realized what I had ordered it to do.

I've asked around and it seems like I am the only one having this problem, so I wondered maybe it's from an unclean install. I used QDL Tool to go to Stock 2.2 and then flashed 1.5.1 using StreakMod Recovery. Now here is where my real problem is : in order to 'clean' everything up, whenever I do a 'Factory Reset' and Clear Cache via StreakMod and then flash Steve's 1.5.1 Zip the Streak gets stuck in the Dell Boot Animation, on occasion it even boots onto my homescreen for about a split second and then quickly goes back to the Boot Screen.

Strangely, after using QDL Tool, I can flash 1.5.1 for the first time using StreakMod, but when I try to use StreakMod to do a factory Reset and Re-install Steve's 1.5.1 - it doesn't work and gets me stuck in boot.

Has anyone else flashed 1.5.1 using StreakMod? I'm using StreakMod Beta version 0.3.2.6

It's driving me nuts. Help please?

Must hit the Power Button to enter the recovery tool

I had issues with Clockworkmod Recovery ever since going from 309 (Fards recovery) to 318. Seems to be a common issue with 318's scripting.

This tool is great and I have been able to backup my Dell for the first time, however I can only get the screen to pop up after I hit the power button. This is after the normal pressing of volume up/down and power bottons to have the option to enter the update package.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cheetah2k:
Is there anyway a version of this Recovery can be made such that on 2nd boot, the stock recovery is reloaded??

I know this happens with the CW recovery. Would be good to have that with this recovery so that we can all still get stock updates, without having to find, then install the 309 recovery.img back on which is a PITA for some of us noobs.....
[Streak 5 Android Development] vcivilen:
Same here!

I have been searching a lot for nandroid working version until I got StreakMod Recovery.

Stock 318 & Performance fix.

Great Job!

You're forgetting the step where you have to flash the "amsss.mbn" file. It kept happening to me the 1st time trying to load steves rom because I missed this step. Load stock 2.2 then flash the file. Then apply steves 1.5. zip and reboot. Should work :cool:

Thanks for helping, will try it tonight :)

Is there possible to launch it without flashing with fastboot? I must flash it and than launch by pressing volume buttons.

PS: How can i find what build I have? And which app to root? Thank you very much.

You are probably not in the right folder. Go to where your file is at. Make sure there is not another folder or directory u need to open. What I did was created a folder named streak. Make sure when u put u r files in that folder u do not have another sub directory u need to open. If you do u will need to add that name to the command linr

Noob with Trouble

Hi guys,

First post here. I've been studying in detail for the last three weeks the moddability of the Streak. I've spent about 30 hours reading this forum about subjects like Clockwork Recovery, Streakmod, DJ-Steve's ROMS, Fastboot, etc. etc. I have also just completed my first week of Streak ownership, and last evening I built up the courage to flash Streakmod (after rooting with Universal Androot), primarily because I wanted to play with Nandriod backups before trying a modded ROM.

I have tried both the 0.3.2 and 0.3.2.6-beta versions. Fastboot appears to complete successfully - all messages are as expected from the guides, etc. When doing the vol-vol-power key combo reboot (or rebooting straight from fastboot), I get what appears to be the stock recovery screen, but when option #2 is selected, I get a black screen (no dell logo). Battery has to be pulled to proceed further.

I'm sure it's something mind-numbingly stupid that I'm doing/not doing. Any suggestions?

Here are my particulars:

Firmware Version: 1.6

Baseband Version: GAUSB1A111231.US

Kernel Version: 2.6.29-perf

OEM Version: GAUSB1A111231

Build Number: 6601

This is an AT&T streak purchased thru Best Buy.

Thanks a lot for any help offered.

Regards,

Bob

If you get the black screen after trying to load into a custom recovery try using the altenative clockwork recovery. File name if recovery.alt.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ABD33D:
should i rename the " alt.recovery.img " file to " recovery.img " and use it ??? or just leave it as it is ??
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
Just leave it

[Streak 5 Android Development] bytechaser:
Thank you vey much for this!

so this works great for me sort of :)

Havent had any clockwork mod work on 2.2 for me yet :/

I was able to use fastboot to flash this and upon the first reboot could use the power button to go into "streakmod" but every reboot after the initial one I cannot use power or vol - + to go back into streakmod. I have to reflas again. I am on 318 / 00 and am not to sure what other info you might need.

Should I have to use fastbook every time for this to work ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] dazzling:
anybody comes up with solution about failed firstboot back up?

been holding up myself to flashing steve's ROM because of it.

it used to work before 2.2 318, but it doesnt anymore.

the idea of reinstalling apps and reconfigure all the setting is ridiculous for me.

i had bad history with titanium back up because it messed up my apps-data and force closed all the time after restoring.

any idea is welcome :)

Edit : Follow Huoyjii suggestion flashing performance fix and it magically solved.

thanks mate :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] huoyjii:
Install the performance fix for 318 to solve the failed at firstboot backup issue. Also, installing the performance fix will make the StreakMod Recovery persistence - no more reflash StreakMod Recovery everytime.

Hope this help the previous two posts.
[Streak 5 Android Development] MN_Evolution:
This is exactly my problem as well. I"m at work right now without my cable etc and just wanted to install a damn .zip file i downloaded. I select opt #2 but i get a black screen. I've done this before getting to build 318 etc a month or so ago so i'm probably forgetting something.

I know i've gotten into StreakMod before because i remember hitting the power button when the Dell Logo came up and i got back to the blue menu. That's how i got DJ Steve's 318 Performance .zip on my Streak.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on explaining how this Recovery thing works if any has the time. In the mean time i'll be home in a bit and i'm gonna go through the whole fastboot thing again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] skyscraper04:
you need to flash the stock recovery first and then streakmod i think
[Streak 5 Android Development] 4PLaYS:
Awesome!

First of all I would like to thank mistadman for his awesome work on this recovery. Great great work man!

I love it, it works like a dream.

Just a little info to help everyone who is experiencing issues with nandroid (stuck on backing up firstboot issue)

I am on an official 315 build. used recovery-v0.3.2.6-beta.zip to flash the 315 performance fix from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848487. This fixed the issue, I was able to do a complete backup and tested restoring selectively the data part.

There is not that many developers for the Dell Streak and it sure is refreshing to have people like you mistadman, KUDOS, and keep up the good work. :D

[Captivate Themes and Apps] pagandoc:
Anyone know if it's possible to port http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835540 to the JJ4 cog versions. It's animations and look are great for the speed of cog.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kaik541:
as of version 2.4, I believe Cognition is based on JK2.

http://ponack.net/designgears/

oops, seems like he has reverted back to JI6/JJ4... nevermind :)

I'm sure he has his reasons for preferring JI6/JJ4 over JK2, but JK2 can be "ported" as it's own ROM if you'd take the effort.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dani897:
Looks doable, I think official froyo is about to drop but I may try this because the vibrant roms don't have the limitations att imposes like a lack of tethering.

Find one of the deodexed jk2 roms mentioned in the thread that this theme is compatible with, flash the rom and it should boot, a few things will be out of wack like the back and home buttons. And some other things, I cant remember exactly what though.

If it does boot you are half way there, now odin flash a captivate kernel and modem.bin or a kernel modded for use on the captivate, setirons gt I-9000 kernels are nice but drain battery with certain modem files and I don't know how a vibrant rom will fit into the modem.bin switcheroo that is suggested to get all the att bands working. For that reason I recommend a ji6 or jj4 kernel and modem.bin but if you do that you will need to use a kernel that has a 2e recovery our clockwork recovery added in to be able to flash the theme.

If the phone doesn't boot after the vibrant rom is flashed you may need to try flashing to stock then a 2.1 vibrant rom.

You can also try the 2.4.1 cognition rom but I don't think it works with the theme you posted. Worth a shot though. There is also a version of the darkness theme for the cognition rom.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dani897:
Forgot, before you start I'm assuming your phone is rooted and has jj4, use adb or root explorer to get the swype.apk(not certain if it's needed, depends on the build.prop) and the camera.apk (i believed it had more options and settings) and save them to a safe place like an external sd card or home computer. You may also need the captivate build.prop, dunno with the vibrant build.prop you might not need the jj4 swype.apk, I'm not sure if there will be any I'll effect from using one build.prop or the other.

[7 Mozart General] masadav:
Has anyone experienced their phone freezing/locking up? I'm not talking about lagging/freezing applications, but the whole phone actually locking up.

My phone seems to be freezing up about twice a week and has been for the last 3 weeks. Each time it has been when the device was in my pocket or on charge at night (and subsequently the alarm does not go off).

When the device is frozen like this, it has no indications of even having power.The power button will not turn the phone off, on, or wake the device. Plugging the phone into power doesn't even turn the orange/green charging lights on, nor play the tone for when power is connected.

I physically have to remove the battery for a few seconds from the phone and re-insert before the phone will start up. I have even performed a hard reset on this device.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'm thinking that it might be a hardware fault, or at a really wild guess maybe the HTC Attentive App.
[7 Mozart General] drsqueggy:
I'm having no problems with crashing or freezing!

I have actually found the device to be very stable, a lot nicer cleaner and stable than my previous device (Sony Ericsson Xperia X10).
[7 Mozart General] solo21hd2:
Had exactly that problem a couple of times already. The only solution is to pull the battery out.

Still - better than an iPhone crash which requires you to plug it back into the PC before it will work again.
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
I had a similar situation:

I was making an international call (card service), when finished i heared the card IVR prompt if i need to make another call. I wanted to hang up but the screen was black adn dead. power button did not bring into life and i was keep on hearing the active call. had to take the battery out to kill this situation.

typically windows behaviour ;)
[7 Mozart General] masadav:
Thought I had narrowed this down to the HTC attentive app, but alas the phone froze again this morning after hitting snooze 3 or 4 times. Oddly enough, the power button would turn the screen on and off, but the lock screen wouldn't show, nor could anything be moved or controlled on the screen (live tiles were still animated though). Battery pull again.

Yeah, typical windows behavior. No where near as bad as Windows Mobile which I came from though :-P
[7 Mozart General] tmorgan4:
I have the same issue. Can be in the middle of a call or anything. Had it reboot once while on charge too. Did you just remove the attentive app? Would it be worth trying a Hard Reset if that wipes the device. If so how easy is it to put your old Apps back on. Or do I need to write a list and search manually.
[7 Mozart General] masadav:
I did a hard reset and just didn't install the app again.

"When you buy or download apps from the Zune PC client, those apps are automatically redownloaded to the phone when you reset the device and login with your Windows Live ID again. When you download apps from the phone itself, you have to go to the Marketplace again to manually find and redownload the apps you want."

as the title said

im using office wifi

browsing are ok

but cant download

firewall thing? bug thing? any solution or fix?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Don't worry... its just the market having troubles. This happens quite often, especially on the eve of an update to android.

Just keep cancelling and installing or wait for it to settle down. Welcome to android!
[Galaxy Tab General] ruenigma:
Don't worry. My office WiFi also doesn't work for Android Marketplace. My home WiFi works though. Probably the corporate firewall blocks the access to some custom port required for Marketplace to work. On googling, I got a tip that; if your google talk app works, then probably you marketplace should also work.

Just try it on a WiFi with no restrictions and it should work fine. 3G should also work.
[Galaxy Tab General] Justin^Tan:
right, after the admin gave me full access, it worked

thanks to ftgg99 too for helping me finally choose this tab

:)
[Galaxy Tab General] ipaqkiller:
What I noticed when that happens, if I tap the home key then open Google Talk and signout then sign back in... It starts downloading over wifi.

Just my observation.
[Galaxy Tab General] deniro0311:
I can confirm, it's the firewall. I was about 5 seconds away from a factory reset (that is all I had left to try), but then I found this thread.

I have a "failsafe" rule setup that allows all outbound traffic to go out regardless of port, on my wired and wireless subnets. Once I enabled it, all my downloads came down.

I always figured with my G1 that you had to be connected to Google Talk to download, but I also thought you needed to be over 3g. I now know wifi works, just open up the firewall some.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krumcake:
Two weeks ago I created a backup using the 'backup & restore' function on the phone, before upgrading to 2.1. After upgrading, part of the backup fille was restored, including all my contacts. Something went wrong after upgrading though (phone restarting everytime I plug it into a computer with a USB cable), so this weekend I decided to reflash with pc companion 'repair'. I created a new backup with only my messages and my contacts. Once I restored, only the last five contacts that I have added were restored. I tried from both restore points, but the rest of my contacts are gone!

What has happened and is there anything I can do?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kimb0:
try

Contacts -> Contacts to view -> phone contacts
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krumcake:
This was the first thing I tried. It didn't help...

but thank you anyway!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sirmarcelot:
i had the same issue, the backup/restore app is a piece of crap. my contacts were not restored after the 2.1 upgrade (and yes, i did backup them).

you can restore them though, by going in the settings / sync settings and doing a manual 'contacs' sync with your google account.. as long as you have had them sync'ed before, of course.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] meegs:
Have you tried manual sync of your phone, cos Google store the numbers too if your using a googlemail account on your phone
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krumcake:
Do you mean the googlemail account I use to log in to the market?

If so, where are the contacts stored? Does this happen automatically? How do I access them?

It is really a big mystery to me that all but 5 contacts just disappeared. Especially from my first backup, which had all my contacts AFTER the 2.1 update...

Also, can Titanium Backup do backup of my contacts and stuff?

PS:

I had most of my contacts on my old phone, so I did this:

1. Copy from old phone to SIM

2. Copy from SIM to new phone

3. ????????

4. Profit

Have a similar problem.

Have imported my contacts using sprite migrate.

cannot see the contacts in the contacts. but found out that they are on the phone.

has anyone a clue?

Loaded all my contacts via vcf into google mail and synced. had contacts on the phone.

Then installed MyPhoneExplorer and found that although i could only see all contacts once they were double on the phone.

Basically deleted through MyPhoneExplorer all contacts. phone was empty.

then deleted all contacts in google mail. synced phone and google mail.

no contacts in mail and on phone.

Now loaded my contacts again via vcf in google mail and synced phone.

contacts visible en checked via MyPhoneExplorer there was only one set of contacts.
