NO it will not overwrite SU or your applications, what i mean to say is this that you are flashing the recovery and not the rom, so go ahead with it, I guess you know the drill already or check the first post on how to do it, if you don't!!

Fastboot>>command prompt>>flash command>>reboot and enjoy.

P.S It is really good and stable and nandroid backup is flawless and doesn't get stuck.

Have tested , 345, 351, and Streakdroid 1.9.0 as well.

Cheers!!

How to uninstall StreakMod Recovery ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
You flash a different recovery image. There your best bet would be to use the Multi-Recovery Flash tool
[Streak 5 Android Development] DoctorW:
Menu Now Appears at Start-up

mistadman and I have been working together to make the menu appear when you first boot into StreakMod Recovery. We believe that it's now fixed, and mistadman has now posted v03.2.8-beta at the beginning of this forum with the fix.

Cheers, Warren
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Now that sounds beautiful, BUT how is the loss of the functionality of doing the Factory DELL reset after flashing a new ROM going to affect us.

I mention this because it is pretty clear that the factory reset is what always does the trick as far as being able to get the Streak to boot after flashing a new ROM...
[Streak 5 Android Development] krazman325:
It still boots into the Dell Factory Reset screen. You then press the camera button and are taken DIRECTLY to the StreakMod screen. You no longer have to press the power button at the Dell(!) screen to get to StreakMod.

Works well for me.

Thanks mistadman and DoctorW. Thanks sent too!

kraz
[Streak 5 Android Development] DoctorW:
I'm not sure want you mean, cdzo72. The 'wipe data/factory reset' option is still there on the top menu.

Edit: Thanks krazman325 for clearing up the confusion!
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Doctor W please accept my most humble apologies, I spoke out before I actually flashed. I just flashed and saw what kraz had said, the difference is no longer having to push the power button after choosing option 2 from the factory DELL menu. Also did a nandroid to see if I got any errors and everything seems to be A+ OK so far.

Thanks for all your hard work guys!!!

Need help with streakmod

I have a streak

Android 2.2.2

Baseband

GAUSB1A135100-EU

Kernel Version

2.6.32.9-perf

build

15609

I tried to flash this bootloader to my phone so i can back up the stock rom but it looks like its not stable...

First i worked fine. I backed up my rom and then i reset my phone. Then i tried to return to the backed up rom BUT it said something about a MD5 file was corrupt and did not work..

Then i took a new backup and restored it before i rebootet the phone and now the bootloader looks like its gone.. Cant enter streakmod anymore..

Please help..
[Streak 5 Android Development] Revin:
Strange thing - I installed Streakmod few days ago and used it once to install Gingerkrad notification theme. But now I can't access the Streakmod.

Maybe I am doing it wrong - I turn off the phone, start with vol up + down, then I have original Dell white menu, I select 'Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card' and then I just get to some information where to download Dell update and that I should exit with vol up. After pressing vol up, phone just normally boot (was trying pressing camera, power button when Dell logo showed up, but still nothing).

Maybe it is just gone, I will try to install it again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] emregezgin:
I have tested it with both versions and it looks like when i reboot then it returns to the regular dell recovery.. i dont know why..

I use windows 7 and have tried to run cmd in both admin and regular...

what drivers do i need? Maybe i have downloaded something wrong from dell..

i have tried with 2 sd cards now..
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
This has been said LOTS OF TIMES ALREADY

if you are on a stock rom

and it boots

and you havent deleted/renamed

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

then the stock rom will overwrite the recovery with the stock dell recovery..

-

So rename that file to

and it wont overwrite streakmod.

if you want to go back to stock recovery, then just rename it to

install-recovery.sh

reboot and after complete boot you will be back on dell recovery again
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
I got tired of answering the questions about why the custom recovery gets over written so I wrote an article to link to.

After you make a backup you can generate md5 sums for each file in the backup and compare them with the values in the nandroid.md5 file that is generated to make sure that everything is OK. There are reports that a space in the directory name will cause md5 errors on restore. This may happen if you rename the directory to a user friendly name.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
How much work would it be to add the Edify scripting engine available in CWM 2.5/3.0?

That's the only thing missing from streakmod as if you try to flash an edify scripted update.zip it just silently fails.
[Streak 5 Android Development] chrisrotolo:
yes, I agree would definetly be a big help. thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdyangren:
It is would be very useful,thanks.

Hi guys,

I am first time Andriod and Streak user. I flashed StreadMOD recovery to my Stock 2.2.2 347 unlocked dell US version. I am unable to see the nandriod back up in there? I followed all the steps and everything went fine. Just wondering if I a missing something here?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Edrill:
It's under the Advanced option.
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
Some reading:

Custom Recovery – Prevent Overwriting on Dell Streak

Using StreakMod Recovery

If you aren't getting to the second screen with the StreakMod options it has probably been overwritten by the stock recovery.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jive_83:
Thanks a lot. That's really a helpful guide. I read about overwriting of the recovery image in this thread. I should next time explore all the options before posting. :D

hi,

i tired to flash my stock rom with a custom rom today, but encountered a problem.

my device info :

android version 2.2

baseband gausb1a135411-eu

kernal 2.6.32.9-perf

oem version gausb1a132013

build number 12903

1. i have wipe data/partition/dalvik cache and another 2 more in which i cant remember the name

2. i goto apply update.zip

3. error comes out:

E:can't mount /sdcard (if i choose /sdcard/update.zip)

E:can't mount block /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (if i choose to select/browse custom rom file)

4. tried to send report, but cannot copy the log file cause can't mount sdcard.

5. tried using Astro file manager/root explorer but can access the sdcard

please help as i have basically wiped all data from my phone. wish to use custom rom as stock rom is laggy.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I've had this happen, and it's most likely because the MicroSD got jostled enough that the card's contacts aren't touching the socket's prongs properly.

Open up the battery compartment.

Pull the battery (for safety).

Pull the MicroSD.

Test the MicroSD in your PC and see if it can be read.

If the MicroSD is reported as corrupt:

Format the MicroSD.

Follow the steps in 6 below.

If the MicroSD can be read:

Replace the MicroSD in the Streak.

Replace the battery.

Close the battery compartment.

As I mentioned, I encountered this problem myself. After reseating the MicroSD, I took a pair of needle-nose pliers and bent the little L-shaped tab on the inside of the battery cover inward a small amount. This tab is supposed to prevent the MicroSD from shifting, but in my case the tab was not doing its job. Bending it inward solved the problem.
[Streak 5 Android Development] kokfann:
thanks Strephon Alkhalikoi

it's the micro sdcard problem. i formatted it and now it works. but strangely, i can mount/unmount in android. even root explorer can read the files..

haha..now i am running simple streak 1.2 :D

thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If it helped, hit the "Thanks" button. :)

Glad it worked out for you.

[Streak 5 Android Development] maevro:
Im sorry, I feel like such a newb. Im also pissed Dell isnt upgrading the Streak anymore.

Anyway, I was able to root the streak no problem.

I cannot install StreakMod Recovery. I read the entire thread, read me 1st pages and the external links.

I never had problems with rooting Android from Aria, Wildfire S, Incredible & Inspire 4G and even this phone, but I cant install the recovery. I was always used to using ROM Manager.

ANY help and if you are in Brooklyn, ill even make a cash donation for hook u up on phones as I have some nice connections, ask anyone on HoFo.

This is killing me.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Thanks Fards and mancterrier for the feedback.

Fards, can you post a copy of the recovery.log. If you go to the "advance" menu and then click "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.

Thanks!

Any news on fixing the error when flashing incremental zips (i.e. not entire roms)?
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
@gingernator007,

Actually, I didn't realize the issue of ROM updates not applying correctly was tied to the fact that they were not complete ROM updates.

Can you provide me with a link to a particular update.zip/ROM update that is not updating correctly via my recovery.

Thanks for hanging in there with me!
[Streak 5 Android Development] springah:
kickass buddy.

now if we could only flash both pkgs and zips in the same recovery...
[Streak 5 Android Development] gingernator007:
The circle battery mod in this post is a good example, I assume it only replaces framework-res.apk.

[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Hey @gingernator007,

Thanks for putting me on the right track!! I believe I have the partial update bug resolved. Let me know what you think!!

Thanks you all for your support and encouragement!
[Streak 5 Android Development] gingernator007:
Yep, it's seems to be fixed - well done. Just the folder issue to resolve then you're pretty much done.
[Streak 5 Android Development] odyseus:
Well for me Nandroid seems to backup my ROM, however when I try to restore them, after reboot I get loads and loads of Force Closures???

When I used Clockwork Recovery and tried to restore a ROM backup, I got a MD5 checksum error and it bombed out??

So I don't have a way to backup/restore ROM's which is a real pain! Any other alternatives (I guess I'll have to use Titanium as a start?)
[Streak 5 Android Development] xenolala:
Hi developers !

Sorry english is not good

My dell streak No recovery. I'm installing clockworkmode recovery via Fastboot . Once the device says. ' download recovery done! ' . but pressing and holding both volume up and down while holding the power button. device only logo dell . I hold and wait ten minutes not appear .
[Streak 5 Android Development] cheetah2k:
Well, I tried to install CW recovery, but everytime I went to select one of the items on the list, the screen went blank.. CW recovery is Rubbish IMO. Is there an alternative so that I can get the performance kernel installed???
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
@odyseus,

I am sorry to hear that you are having issues :-( I have updated the recovery with some enhancements that will hopefully prevent the kind of issue you are experiencing.
[Streak 5 Android Development] odyseus:
If you can fix it nandroid for me that would be brilliant! Cheers

Ody

I'm giving the new version a try, just done a nandroid backup, followed by a full reset, now attempting to restore the backup..hope it works, otherwise I'll be re-installing 1.4.6 again!
[Streak 5 Android Development] odyseus:

You are a god ! It bloody well works perfectly now! At long last I can do a sucessfull Nandroid backup!

[Streak 5 Android Development] refthemc:
Is everyone able to flash Steves 2.2 with this recovery?
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmhalder:
The trick is to get the fastboot drivers working, once fastboot can communicate with the phone, its cake...

Also, whats troublesome for some noobish people is the fact that there's a script that runs every boot of android that re-writes the factory recovery, the only way to remove that is to already have root, if you're running a stock 351/353/354 build, you might not be able to easily root from the OS level. If you can fastboot flash the recovery, you need to jump IMMEDIATELY into the recovery and run the 'superuser.zip' update.zip, this will give you root, allowing you to remove/rename that script, and re-flash the recovery permanently. It's really not that hard, only these 2 'catches'.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ottawadad34:
I feel really dumb but I cant figure out how to install this. Im rooted but im not really understanding how to install this.
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
Install directions are in first post.

If you can connect to your computer in fastboot mode then try the MultiRecovery Flasher which will automate the fastboot commands for you.

You may also want to do some reading and investigation because you really should understand what you are doing before you mod your phone.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ottawadad34:

[Streak 5 Android Development] muteman3:
For some time I have the following problem. I can not install any ROM with StreakMod. Gives me the following error: assert faild:! Less_than_ (1306825683rd, getprop ("ro.build.dat e.utc))

E: Error in / sdcard / update.zip

(Status 7)

Instalation aborted.

Before I never had any problems, I do not know what happened. ClockworkMod works well and installed everything but StreakMod always gives this error. Please help.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
What I may would suggest is downloading the ROM update.zip again and getting rid of your old one on the SD card. Secondly, flash the latest version of StreakMod again. I think it's called 0.3.28beta if I'm not mistaken
[Streak 5 Android Development] nickshertzer:
StreakMod 0.3.8beta :cool:
[Streak 5 Android Development] muteman3:
I tried most of these: http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/

use different versions of StreakMod. Always gives this error. Some time ago I applied the same ROMs and same versions of StreakMod and then worked well. And if there were problems with the ROM why ClokworkMod installs fine.

Could I have put GingerBread have changed the file system and for now I have problems?
[Streak 5 Android Development] todd69:
Thank you so much for this post, used multiflasher to get streakmod on the phone via fastboot, pulled the battery and then got straight into streakmod and flashed simplestreak.

Oh happy days :D

Is there gonna be an update for the stock recovery on 360?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Coxeroni42:
I have a noobie question, but as I am new to the streak, I hope you forgive me ;)

Do I always have to flash the recovery freshly to be able to boot into it? When I try to go into the recovery, the Dell-Logo that was there directly after the fastboot-flash, isn't available anymore and I cannot enter StreakMod anymore.

Is this normal behaviour or am I doing something wrong? I used the 0.3.2.7 from the first post.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You didn't read through the entire thread since you installed 0.3.2.7 without realizing there was an update to 0.3.2.8. Read the thread carefully and you will find the answer to the problem you are having.
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
Read this - and this.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Coxeroni42:
I took the 0.3.27 because it wasn't a beta :P I did see the newer one.

Thanks for the links marvin, didnt have that page on my radar. Now it becomes a lot clearer.

Edit: As usual I would put that valuable information in the first post, cause it seems kind of important to me.
[Streak 5 Android Development] donalgodon:
If I have StreakMod recovery installed, can I use it to flash to a stock ROM via .zip, like 360, since MRF doesn't include the stock recovery for 360?
[Streak 5 Android Development] (InsertNameHere):
I think you have to use Fastboot to flash stock roms, stock roms are in the .pkg format.
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
If you have an update.zip file for that ROM you can use StreakMod. It is not recommended because that does not flash all of the files that using the .pkg file file and stock recovery does.

MRF is just a batch file you can add/edit what you need or just use the fastboot commands from a dos prompt.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Maltz:
hi guys, I have a noob question... xD can flash this recovery with terminal emulator? Thanks

Edit: nevermind, already did it
[Streak 5 Android Development] markdexter:
IM new to the streak, not to android, my phone is already rooted, can I use root explorer to replace the current recovery.img with this new one? In system files? Then just reboot the phone and enter that way
[Streak 5 Android Development] Coxeroni42:
No, you can't. You have to use fastboot. Works flawlessly though :)

Hard Brick

Hello all, and I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum. I have a black streak 5 hard bricked. Meaning, no fastboot, no download mode, no charging no detect usb. Tried QDL and all. I had another one with this same problem and I was able to fix it by replacing the internal SD card, but this one is a no go. It happened because the owner format all partitions and it froze in the process. He unplugged it and now it won't boot to anything. Do you know of a place or someone who can do the jig fix? If so, would you be kind and share the info and pricing for unbricking. Thank you!
[Streak 5 Android Development] markdexter:
There is a guy who fixes alot of hard bricks, he has a youtube channel called, mobile tech videos, I purchased a jig of him myself, for a samsung captivate, worked great.

Take a look at his, videos and shoot him a message

[Streak 5 Android Development] angelswerkz:
Hi guys, got abit of problem. I have flashed recovery with rom manager and now I cant seem to get into clockworkmod. Pressed the power button and the volume button and select update from sd and the screen went black. My mistake for not reading not to use rom manager to flash recovery. I wanted to flash dj steve rom and cant access to clockworkmod. Can any kind guys give me a little help. Sorry for being a noob.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
1) Shame on you for not reading, hope you learned your lesson

2) You will have to manually flash StreakMod through fastboot

3) If you don't understand point two, you still have LOTS of reading to do and it would be best for you to return to stock by flashing stock recovery and stock ROM until you have read all the material and UNDERSTAND it, if not you're going to end up with a brick, like you almost have now, you haven't taken the time to find out you have to flash a different recovery
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's quite obvious that angelswerkz didn't search before he posted. Fortunately, it's his first offense, so for his benefit:

[REF]Everything you wanted to know about the streak, but were too busy bricking it

Angelswerkz, next time use the search engine before you post.

clockwork

why are people using rom manager and clockwork, it doesnt work, its awful, use streakmod.......
[Streak 5 Android Development] strvmarv:
Another perspective, why hasn't streakmod been incorporated into rom manager as an alternative to the unfinished and unsupported version of clockworkmod for streak5?

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Noone bothered to, having stuff on rom manager is as simple as making a dev account on clockworkmod.com and filling a couple of forms.

Though it's prob impolite to upload someone elses rom (but in this case dev has mostly stopped)

[Streak 5 Android Development] webbhawk:
Ok, so I'm trying to install SM on a Dell Streak running 1.6. I'm pretty sure I borked something.

I followed the fastboot instructions word for word and everything works fine until the reboot. I don't get the Dell screen, just a backlit screen with the lights on.

At first, I used clockwork mod. It installed fine and I could get into it but when I tried flashing gingerstreak 2.4.4 it would never go past the Dell screen. Now, I can't even get clockworkmod to install.

I would really appreciate some help. This is a friends phone, and while this isn't his only phone, he would really like it back in one piece, lol.

I'm trying to install the latest streakmod, recovery-v0.3.2.7-DoctorWFix.zip

Please help
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
streakmod wont work if you're still on android 1.6, you need to update to 2.2 first.

Use the built in updater and update to 2.2 first
[Streak 5 Android Development] webbhawk:
Could you please point me in the direction of that file?

I have a HTC EVO 4G rooted and loving it. It was an extremely easy process compared to this so far.

ps, Thank you soooo much for responding so quickly
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
Edit: What TheManii said first - sorry I did not notice you are on 1.6.

Can you still get to fastboot mode? If so I suggest:

Download amss.mbn, dsp1.mbn, and recovery.img from here.

Go up one directory and download Streak_360_17397_00.pkg.

Put the first three files into the same directory that you have your fastboot executable on your PC. If you want to make sure you have the right fastboot and adb.exe get Fastboot+ADB.zip from here.

Rename the .pkg file you downloaded to update.pkg and put it in the root directory of the SD Card for the Streak. Remove any other .pkg files or ROM files (just in case).

Now connect the Streak in fast mode to the pc and use these commands:

fastboot flash amss amss.mbn
fastboot flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

As the Streak reboots hold both volume buttons.

You should go into stock recovery mode. Select option 2 to install the update.pkg that is on the SD Card.

When the phone reboots it should be running BB 360 stock. This takes the phone back to stock so you can start over. You will have to re-install everything.

Read this before you try again.

Edit: What TheManii said first - sorry I did not notice you are on 1.6.
