[Streak 5 Android Development] zarbo:
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS THREAD IS NOT WRITTEN BY ME, THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD IS TO REPLACE THE DELETED THREAD THAT LEFT MANY XDA MEMBERS CONFUSED AND IN SEARCH FOR THE THREAD :)

This ROM is heavily updated and still being developed at a fairly rapid pace.

The update process is now very simple to do but it does require that you flash a new baseband

IF YOU ARE USING A REBELSIM AND DONT NEED WIFI TETHERING PLEASE STICK WITH V1.1.1 AS FLASHING THIS ROM WITHOUT BASEBAND WOULD CAUSE FLASHING LEDS SYNDROME - AND REBEL SIM CANT WORK WITH NEW BASEBAND AS YET

We now have a nice new website blog for streakdroid - check it out and help me populate the wiki with faqs and get in the forums sites @ http://www.streakdroid.com

Most Recent Version: v1.3.0

Known Issues:

Accelerometer is dodgy at times but i cant pin down the issue - usually going into settings > display and toggling auto rotate on and off fixes

How-To

-------------

You need to be on v1.1.1(download: http://build2.streakdroid.com/update-release-1.1.1.zip) with 2.1 baseband For this to work ideally - this may work from older versions but this procedure has only been tested from 1.1.1

THIS INVOLVES A WIPE OF ALL DATA ON DEVICE SO PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP FIRST

0. Copy the update zip to your memory card first

1. Reboot streak to recovery:

do this by turning off your streak then holding down Vol up + Vol Down as you press power, keep volume keys held until you get to a menu with 4 options

2. Select the Option number 1 which is called FACTORY RESET using the volume keys to move the selection and camera to select

your streak will reboot on its own after this.

3. Allow streak to boot to ui - this will take some time

4. Power down your streak and boot into fastboot

do this by pressing power until the keypad lights come on then HOLD camera until you get to a white screen, then tap on the fastboot text in top right corner,

5. Connect your streak to pc - the text on streak should change to FASTBOOT_MODE.

you should place the amss.mbn file into the same folder as fastboot on your pc

run the following commands from command prompt on your pc

Windows:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

Linux

fastboot flash amss amss.mbn

6. Type the following commands to reboot your streak - again alow it to boot into the main ui - you will lose network connection for the moment, this is fine, also streak WILL reboot twice before booting, again this is normal

Windows:

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Linux

fastboot reboot

7. Once your device has booted shut down again and boot into clockwork recovery by doing the following

boot to recovery as per step 1 then choose option 2.

8. Flash the 1.2 update zip

9. reboot

This can be rooted using universal androot but could take 2 attempts
