Just got the Streak and was about to return it because I could not root, which many of my apps need. Your solution worked perfectly. Thanks

not responding

I've tried this several times however it continues to freeze after waiting for device. I have tried both 1.7 and 1.5.5. After both being unsuccessful I ran a virus scan with no results, and finally decided to factory reset my entire computer. As a result, not responding.

Superoneclick frozen at "waiting on device"

I had this problem as well with streak 5 at first. What I discovered was that even though I had most recent versions of sdk, adb, all the goods superoneclick said were neccesary, I did not have proper adb DRIVERS installed on my computer. The easiest way to see if this is your problem as well is to go to your command prompt and type: cd\ (hit enter) cd AndroidSDK\tools\ (hit enter) adb devices (hit enter) after the last enter you should see a serial number, this is your phones serial number. If you do not see a serial number you do not have the adb drivers on your computer or they are in the wrong directory. What I would reccomend in that instance is to watch this video and read included guide and follow it to a T. This will most likely require you to unistall adb (to get rid of its directory) and re install at the correct one for your computer to find it. for me the directory was installed on my desktop at first and I cod not get it to work (superoneclick) it wod just freeze at waiting for device. After re installing adb and sdk at the root of my c drive it worked perfectly first time. Hope this helps and feel free to ask me if your still having problems. P.S. I cant post outside links to this forum yet so ill just tell you to google search: Adb unlockr (not unlocker, no e) and follow the instructions under the video as well as the video itself

Killing ADB Server...

OK

Starting ADB Server...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

Waiting for device...

OK

Running rageagainstthecage...

Getting stuck at waiting for device. I've tried turning off usb debugging, restarting, taking off the battery, turn off usb debugging + turn off and on.. every combination you can think of but it doesn't get rooted.

Method 2:

1. Make sure you have usb debugging on under settings applications.

2. Turn off Streak

3. Plug cable in streak and computer

4. Start ONe Click

5. Select rage against the cage

6. Click root and wait till it says waiting for device.

7. Turn on Streak

It will root during the boot up.

I don't run the test.

Then you can add the non market hack

Seemed like it worked but tried using SuperUser and Z4Mod and universal androot to get access to the bloatware (dell applications), but i didn't get access so I suppose that didn't work either.

Method 3:

Followed steps out here >> http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/26/universal-android-rooting-procedure-rage-method/

I know it's not what xda-developers says but it's the manual way of doing what superOneClick does. I get stuck on step 8, where the terminal app doesn't come up once again. I've waited for 15 minutes for it to show up but it doesn't.

My mobile: DELL Streak Build 15609

Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf

Android version 2.2.2

This is the US version bought from Dell USA directly. I've spent about 5 hours to root it, the last time i tried a month back, i had bricked it but managed to bring it back to life. Any help will be appreciated.

I don't see what I'm looking for when I search so here goes. I'm helping out with a bible app that you can download off line versions for. Only in certain ROM's like SR it reboots instead. They want me to capture the log for it when I go to try download but don't know what to use so I can have it show on my computer. When the phone reboots everything is log of course. Can anyone suggest a program? Thanks

I have that but once the phone locks up I can't access it then it goes into reboot which wipes the log clean. Then all I get is the boot up sequence. I'm hoping someone knows of one that I can use via my usb cord or wifi to my computer that way I can hopefully capture it on the pc instead.

Black Out for Fission already contains a copy of a blacked out Mms app that you could probably take from the update.zip and push to your /system/app folder. It depends on what ROM you're running, etc.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] molivas37:
I am currently running Rubix Blurry.... I am assuming I will need to be on a blurless ROM for this to work? Possible screenshot of MMS app in all its black glory?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] javroch:
If you simply take the Mms.apk from my update.zip installer for the theme, and don't install the theme itself, you should probably be fine regardless of Blurry or non-blurry. However, I'm not sure if in Blurry it uses the DX Mms apk or the Android one. So, after installing, it might not work but I think it probably would. I'd definitely do a backup before I try. I've actually themed Google Talk, Gmail, and Google Voice to be black as well with more to come. I'll give you a screenshot of what Mms looks like:

The theme itself is only meant for Fission. But, if all you do is take that one apk and push it to /system/apps.. i imagine you'd be fine. Like i said before, I'd definitely do a backup before I try.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SolZer:
I've done this many times, and can confirm it does work.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] molivas37:
Awesome! Thank you! I def will be giving this a shot. I may just go ahead and install Fission then just apply the whole Blackout theme. I've read lots of good things. Question, Why is it so important to Do an SBF before applying Fission? Other Blurless ROMs really never mentioned SBF before applying?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] javroch:
You don't have to SBF.. but it's recommended. It's always recommended, no matter what ROM. Just to make sure you get the cleanest install possible.

I rooted my phone today, all went well, so I decided to try a new 2.2 ROM. Made a clockwork backup and was able to install the new ROM no problem, but I had a bunch of contacts and such that were saved to the phone and not backed up, so I booted into recovery mode (with the help of ROM Manager as my phone is one of the hw locked ones) and restored my backup thinking I could use Titanium Backup to backup all the contacts and the few apps I wanted to keep, then reinstall the new ROM. It went through the restore process, but when it finished and rebooted it got stuck at the Vibrant / Samsung screen. I've searched through dozens and dozens of threads, but I can't figure it out. What can I do if I can't get into recovery (or download) mode? I sure hope it can be fixed.

Link 4 is good info, but I can't apply it until I get my phone to boot in some fashion

Ya, honestly you need to just search around the forums for all the different techniques that people have for getting into one or the other. Aim to get into download mode, because then you can reflash a good image.
[Vibrant General] go_l_den:
Chances are you ran a NANDROID restore without flashing a 2.1 kernel (unless your backup was 2.2 as well which means I'm totally wrong). To fix this, see if you can boot into recovery and perform "adb mount" and push a 2.1 kernel to the phone. Flash the 2.1 kernel and your phone should boot properly.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Open up odin on your pc,take the battery out of your phone,put it back in , hold the volume up and down keys, plug the usb into your phone this should get you into download mode. I dont know if this will work because your hw locked but it can't hurt to try good luck.

go_l_den : You called it... I was under the impression that the backup was a full backup including the kernel.

2. Try to trade the phone for another at T-Mobile

FM Radio within TI wlan/bluetooth chipset :-)

Hi Droid Pro Users!

There is a light in the dark for FM Radio fans.

I just found this info from TI about the on board chipset TI 1271

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

There are four solutions in the WiLink 6.0 product

offering. The WL1271 supports 802.11b/g/n in

the 2.4-GHz band, while the WL1273 supports

802.11a/b/g/n with 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz band

support. Both single-chip solutions support

Bluetooth 2.1 Release, ANT and FM transmit and

receive. The WL1271/3L support in addition to

the above, Bluetooth Low Energy Specification

4.0 + EDR.

---------

You will find all info here:

focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12762&contentId=29993&DCMP=WTBU&HQS=ProductBulletin+OT+wilink_6

That means the Droid Pro hardware is able to receive FM Radio and maybe also to send, but receiving would be good enough for me.

Now... who is able to build the necessary drivers?

I would love to do it but I have no idea how ;-)

Maik
[Droid Pro General] hanybanoub:
Very interesting indeed!

When/if built the software and drivers would be brilliant. Maybe moto can do it if requested by many of us?

In the meantime I use tunein radio app from market, which works well using my data connection, network or wifi.
[Droid Pro General] maikdroid:
I could bet that Motorla don't care about it.

As far as my experience with Moto is...

- they know that the chip is able to do it.

- they thought they can make it work

Result...

- maybe reception is too bad because of design flaws (chip or antenna position) -> they decided not to offer it

- maybe the marketing gang thought a FM radio is nothing for a business phone...

Anyway... I would take it even with a bad reception, but I'm sure they will not offer it.

An internet radio is not allways a good solution. You need an unlimited data plan and also a good reception. I made bad experiences during train travel and also in areas with lower reception. It sucks...

I want a real radio, please :-)
