Dr.Dellka,

If you are getting an update notice on your device then based on your "plug and play" description of yourself I think you would be better leaving these unofficial updates and using the official one that you device is showing you.

typically an update is between 100-200MB.

Without connecting your device to a internet connection for the update the only other way would be to download the .pkg file and transfer it to the root of your sdcard, reboot holding power+vol up & vol down and then select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card".

Unfortunately because I haven't looked into this method of official update I do not currently know where to source the official Update.pkg file. Hopefully someone else on the forum will be able to help with this.

[Streak 5 Android Development] devdarshan:
Check in the c:\fastboot folder there will be a file called fastboot-windows.exe rename that to fastboot.exe and you should be good to go
[Streak 5 Android Development] the monster:
yes i have done all that. i feel like pulling my hair out.
[Streak 5 Android Development] qisback:
Hello The Monster,

I'm sorry to hear that. Typically if you are getting "not recognized as an internal or external command" style responses from the command prompt it's because either:

a) The file isn't in the right place/called the right thing.

b) Your not in the right place/calling the right thing.

So long as you have done the following

You should then be able to do the following in the command prompt

**wait until your device displays "Download RECOVERY Done!"**

Please try the above, if it doesn't work then please take a screenshot of the following:

Thanks i reflashed a few different recovery and finally got one to work. Thank you again
[Streak 5 Android Development] gtg203a:
If I'm reading this right, I see two problems: 1) the fastboot file has no extension. it should be "fastboot.exe", not "fastboot"; 2) the file size is 0 bytes.

Try deleting the 0 byte "fastboot" file, re-extracting the "fastboot-windows.exe", and renaming to "fastboot.exe"

And to qisback: nice work! I appreciate your effort in explaining what you're actually doing. When I joined the unofficial android upgrade bandwagon a few months ago, I had a heck of a time, largely cause I didn't have a clue what i was trying to do, nor if i had completed each step successfully.
[Streak 5 Android Development] qisback:
@The Monster I have to agree with Gtg203a the file doesn't seem to be correctly named it should have an "exe" extension and it's file size is 0k. As suggested a fresh download of the fastboot archive and extracting it as per my guide should sort the issue.

@gtg203a I'm glad you found the guide clear and informative, we've all been in a situation where a nice simple guide would be really handy which was the idea of this tutorial. I certainly know that I was in exactly the same place as you a few months ago.

I would normally try give more details and quote posts but as I'm away for a few days I'm using the XDA App and it seems to lack these quick functions or I can't find them and I don't fancy copying, pasting and writting quote tags on an android device (even if my phone does have a 5 foot screen and resembles a house brick).

Hey guys, im having an issue here, I have tried the 2 different Recovery.zip options but still I get a blank screen, I had the stock 1.6, do I need to update to 2.1 before the update from SD will work?

Thanks in advance.

{RESOLVED} I was using the wrong recovery img GRRRRR, just waiting on the DELL logo now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dr.Dellka:
Hi, I've downloaded the official update, 150mb, thee clicks altogether and voila... New froyo 2.2 with awful stage ui. Some things are good, but most of them I don't like..

Here is the problem: my dell is now much slower and periodically ( really often which is very annoying) blocks upper side of touch screen. No mater what I do it just won't respond to touch.

I don't understand why. Any ideas?

I barely put my guts together to upgrade and now I want to pull my hair out because I want my old look and functions back.
[Streak 5 Android Development] qisback:
Yes you would have needed to upgrade to o2 2.1 to use the tutorial, however glad you've sorted it out.
[Streak 5 Android Development] qisback:
As stated in an earlier reply I haven't ever used the stock 2.2 and I actually point blank refuse to, as far as I'm concerned you support those who help you out (hence I use DJ_Steves 2.2 not stock).

However from what I have been reading on these forums you can remove an amount of the rubbish and revert most the UI back.

What I have found is unresponsive touch screen is related with the device being over worked, i.e. to many back ground apps etc. Try downloading a task manager from the market it should kill everything when the device locks (remember to white list apps you want to run in the background i.e. handcent, k9mail, etc)
[Streak 5 Android Development] schizo:
Hi Blondie Doctor (giggle.. no pun intended)

First, which build you are upgrading to? Is it the newer build 12821 (package 318) or the previous one?

One thing I learned from upgrading in android is it try to keep our previous configs and apps intact. It's actually good concept but most of the time it can cause problems due to older programs may not work smoothly with the newer OS build.

So I guess the best way is for you to doing factory reset to bring back your Streak to, ehm, "virgin" condition. Ensure before you do it you backup your contacts and if required, your sms too. As for application, don't mind to try to backup them. It's one factor that may give you the instability now.

It may took you some time to re-download, re-install your applications later. But it may be your best time worth spending, because afterward I guarantee you smooth sailing afterward...;)

Edit: as bonus, if in the end you're not happy with that much "bloatware" such as assistantfree or copilot beta or dell stage or whatnots, take a look at this thread to remove 'em and install ADW Launcher
[Streak 5 Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
Another thing I have noticed on the earlier post is the file layout when the dir command was run from the command window, it should look like the following (it currently looks like you have the files in sub folders within fastboot), you need ALL files in the root of c:\fastboot so it looks like the following,

Stuck on the Dell screen after flashing. Need Help!

Hi All,

I have been following the guides and everything was working well untill I flashed the ROM. Now it's stuck on the Dell screen.

I'm here in Canada on the Rogers network. I had the stock 1.6 OS, and tried to go to DJ_Steve's StreakDroid FroYo v1.5.1 that could be my problem.Can anyone tell me what my next step should be? Even if it's just to flash back to the original build.

I followed everything from the What you need to know about the Dell Streak - PDF

I installed dell pc suite, fastboot, got rooted via universal androot. Got clockworkmod recovery installed via fastboot.

I downloaded DJ_Steve's StreakDroid FroYo v1.5.1 put the zip file in my root directory of the sd card.

In clockworkmod I selected option 2. Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card

It went fine. I then tried reboot which then led me to the current problem.

I tried it again and then after the update I tried, wipe data/factory reset and the wipe cache partition which I read about on another thread. Still the same results.

I then tried the same idea from the streakdroid website but added flashing the the amss.mbn in fast boot as well.

Any suggestions? Where should I go from here? Should I go back to stock image?

Any help would be hugely appreciated!!!!

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dr. Sula:
Partially Resolved

Okay I managed to get it back to the original 1.6 but it's now the O2 version that was the only recovery image I could find that worked.

Can I directly from here go to 1.5.1 or do I have to go to the O2 2.2 first?

Thanks!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
I have been reading a ton on this data2sd, data2ext, data2ext2, and so on. I have tried many a method built for other phones on my hero with not much luck. However this evening I found a modified DarkTremor app2sd script that craigacgomez in the Nexus 1 forums modified to include data2ext. I flashed and after reboot gave the TU command ap2sd cachesd to start the move.Rebooted and everything seemed OK. Now I ran a Quadrant and I FLEW through tests 1 and 2 of the I/O, I hung on the third test, Database Writes. Seeing the I/O go so fast with this script proves we can do something like this on the HeroC. I am no DEV but I have done enough testing along with jeremysterling for you all to use the best script to start from. I am linking to the post that includes the script HERE.

NO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

THIS WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON YOUR PHONE!!!

With that said, I will continue to search around and get all the info I can. I hope a DEV can pick up on this and bring a HUGE improvement to the Hero's I/O :D

From what I have read is it increases internal storage and speeds up the I/O of all phones. As we all know when running a Quadrant Benchmark our I/O performance is seriously LOW!

Data2sd vs data2ext is kind of a hot topic around the forums. Sd seems more stable but ext gives the ridiculous I/O boost

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Its flashable...

BUT You have to have 2 gig partition on SDcard of ext2. Also make NANDROID and back up your SD card, when you format it (I use EASEUS) to make the ext2 partition it will wipe everything off of it! Put that nandroid on PC before partitioning sdcard or you will lose it. Its just a lot to do when its not fully working thats all. No way to get your stuff back if you forget to back nandroids on PC. A second sd card is ideal :)

You guys know if you jump over to darch's godspeed recovery aka faster and hacked version of amon ra's it has built in BFS, overclocked to 768, and it has ext4 support. I know some of you use clockwork recovery which is cool, and theres nothing wrong with that but this recovery would be easier to partition your sdcard right from your phone. I dont use clockwork recovery so i dont know if it has ext3 or ext4 support. Also I have been reading a ton about data2sd and data2ext as well because im interested in I/O boost too.

Just put the image on your sdcard, rename it to recovery, and go to terminal and type

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

For those who dont know how to flash recovery. You can also do this from adb.

Although cyanogen doesn't really like other apps2sd scripts or hacks of this nature in his roms I would like to try this with cm6 myself. Right now were getting quads of about 400 but jumping to 700 would be really awesome and a great deal of speed increase. I am also noticing alot of roms are including this script in their roms and or kernels and was wondering how the devs here felt the heroc would benefit from this. Back when flipz was making roms for the heroc he had a rom called FRESH TOAST which was a 2.1 rom that he and toastch worked on. It was the first heroc from to use bfs(I think) and it had to run with a partitioned sdcard to ext4. It was blazing fast even though it wasnt complete and was more of a WIP/DEV rom; I had never seen sense run so fast. So I do believe the heroc can play nice with ext4. Sorry for going on and on this has just caught my eyes over the past week and I am really interested. Maybe if we get the .34 kernel going with this script the heroc would be a beast lol.
