Howdy! When I install the Voodoo lagfix, the home button works like the back button, the up and down volume buttons are switched, no media can be played back--no YouTube, Music, Flash, or anything. Is there a fix for this yet?

Ok, I have made a code for shake detection but i can seem to make one for dectecting if a phone is tilted a certain way, Is it possible to detect if a phone is tilted a certain way,

In this scenario, lets say the phone is standing vertical, bottom to top, and you tilt it so you can see the bottom more and the screen seems to be falling back 45 degree and if it was at that point then it will switch screens, i just need some sample code to work off of with the tilt.

can i convert a zip to a pkg and rename it update.pkg?

right now all i have is the pkg option when i hold the vol buttons and power.

i recently flashed to the new update which had fixes and newer baseband etc..

that went fine but the the steve 1.5 came out and i want to switch back.

as stated above thats not possible now since fastboot refuses to see my device.

Can someone put it in a pkg format for me maybe?

I dont like this official release...

its slow..it has lame apps, etc..

lil help?

dont really want to formate my laptop to fix a usb driver issue..

especially when the mass storage and sync work just fine..

there is a way of flashing custom recovery via terminal emulator. DEVICE NEEDS TO BE ROOT'D

save .img on to SDcard and rename to recovery.img

then open terminal emulator and type

su (press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (press enter)

reboot (press enter)
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
I had the waiting for device problem. I read a few tips saying to try...

Type "adb devices" to see if its recognised there.

Make sure streak is the only device plugged in usb.

If using a hub try a different slot or direct into pc.

Turn streak off and into fastboot while still connected to pc (after pc loads drivers)

Reboot pc.

I swapped usb soccets and that fixed it for me :-)

Hope one of these tips works for you too.
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
Thank you. I actually tried all of those things...before i posted.

wondering if maybe the 318 isn't compatible..

it says its in fastboot mode..

everything else works..sync, sd card shows in explorer etc etc..

just no fastboot.

luckily the recovery still allows me to do .pkg but i need zips too ;)

very annoying..

I ordered a M11XR2 and will try with that when it arrives..
[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
I have 318 and fastboot works for me.
[Streak 5 General] Radimus:
I only had to reconnect the adb bootloader interface driver again (just like I had to the very first time).

I've not had any issues with fastbooting, after installing 318, I've managed to flash clockworkmod aswell as the new Streakmod recoveries with my Windows 7 64bit.
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
reconnect the adb bootloader???

what do you mean?

you mean you plugged the usb cable in and ran fastboot?

lol

yeah..thats helpful
[Streak 5 General] Radimus:
NO....

The streak wasn't recognized on the PC in fastboot mode, so I went back to device manager and found the unrecognized android device and set it to use the bootloader driver... The same proceedure as was done the first time the streak was connected to a PC to setup fastboot.

Took almost 30 seconds to fix
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
as i said though.. i have no conflicts...

I can even remove it from the device mgr...put eh phone in fastboot mode where it is waiting for usb coinnection..plug the phone in.. iot installs the drivers then the phone sees this and shows fast boot...

so you would expect it to work right? wrong... it says waiting for device...

I have tried everything I can think of..

i got a good deal on a new m11xr2 with win 7 so i will have a fresh slate and will see what results i can get.

in the mean time.. how can i convert this steve 1.5.zip to a .pkg?

or even install it with some other sokution or method?

i have it rooted via one click...

i have root explorer...

what now? lol

there has to be a better way..
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Its easy to miss bits when its all going wrong so do check the sticky look here first for streak, I had to refer to it a few times. You definitely need clockworkmod or streakmod to flash updates. I believe you can do it via a terminal app with su privileges. There's a thread from a few hrs ago saying. I will find for you if you can't :)
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
Can zip be extracted and converted to .pkg?

Hell I would be content with just a way to install the performance tweaks...thats the main issue really...
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
I know Steve mentions "if you haven't flashed official dell update" blah blah... so im guessing you don't loose performance unless you manually downgrade? Have you seen the thread I mentioned? The OP claims he changed the dell .pkg to .zip and successfully flashed via clockwork..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869076
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
how does that help me?

when i power up holding the vol up and down buttons i only get the install Update.pkg option and when i choose it it takes me to the blue text screen when i choose to either update via pkg or reboot. its the Android system recovery utility GAUSB1A131800

there is no option or way to get an option to install zip.

I would like to be able to install the performance fix for 2.2 zip or steves 1.5zip

so do you understand now?

I cant get fastboot to work to install clockwork.

I only have the recovery utility...
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
it seems like i remember a thread about converting zip to pkg..

I cant seem to find it though..

if you just rename it in root explorer you get a signing validation error when you try to install it..

so I'm still stuck on stock 2.2 :(
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
The initial thread is irrelevant, Have you not flashed a clockworkmod or streakmod previously? I would guess its possible to store a recovery.img on sd then flash via terminal app, i cant see why not? You could also probably use adb (if you cant connect to that the theres apps to do it wirelessly) :)
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
yes, i have flashed many times...

I flashed to 309 recovery in order to install the latest dell Update.pkg which went just fine. then when i went back to flash clockwork i could no longer connect via fastboot.

and thats where im at now..

cannot get fastboot to flash clockwork so i can install zips..

hence im asking for a way to do it without clockwork/fastboot until i get that sorted..
[Streak 5 General] Radimus:
an I still believe the issue is that you do not have the correct bootloader driver installed on your PC as described here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=397078&d=1283901727

The issue is your PC, not the Streak (most likely)
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
its the google driver that you download from dell right?

yes i have installed that hundreds of times..

i mean this isnt rocket science right?

but it seems MS windows/registry seems to finds a way to hose things...

i blame win...
[Streak 5 General] tina333:

you are also missing my point as to flashing streakmod or clockworkmod using terminal not pc. have you tried this? that was the info i mentioned in reference to the "not helpful" thread i attached.

think outside the box...:)
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
you can put the Recovery on your SD card and use a terminal on your streak to flash the recovery

Is that what you was on about Tina

If you do not know how to let me know and i will do a step by as soon as:)
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Thanks lufc :)
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
ok, so please elaborate on how i have not installed the correct driver? :rolleyes:

I will humor you 2...

please... do tell..
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
its hard to think outside of a box you have had for a week and barely know...I can barely think inside the box after a week...lol

there is ONE mention of "terminal" in that document and thats it.

no where does it illustrate how to use it or anything even close to resembling what your talking about...

why take all these posts to just run me iin circles? what is terminal, how do i download it and what commands do i type to flash with it???
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Sorry, im not trying to confuse you... its impossible to guess peoples knowledge here. Search the market for terminal, there are a few good free ones. Once you open it it literally looks like your windows command screen (only linux based). From there you type "su" to get root permission then flash the .img from sd, reboot and done. Not sure what command you type ut hopefully lufc will help again :) does that make more sense?
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
crystal clear. i already downloaded the android terminal pro app.

I'm not a linux guy so im def gonna need some command lines to get this done.

I'm just flashing the clockwork recovery image from my sd card right?

then i will have clock work again and can get back to tweaking the **** out this thing ;) lol
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:

i dont think /sdcard/ is a correct path though...

atleast its not working on this end..

says file not found..

I'm typing:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

ofcourse the recovery image is there so i presume its because of the path..
[Streak 5 General] Radimus:
try /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
[Streak 5 General] Radimus:
as far as fastboot goes:

put your phone in fastboot mode, get to where it says "waiting for fastboot".

Plug it into your PC, let the PC do the "bump bump" sound

open device manager and look for: Android phone

Expand Android phone and verify that it says "Android Bootloader interface"

If it does not, update the driver to the correct driver.
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
ive done that a hundred times...it doesnt work..(it does update and show bootloader interface however i still can not get fb to work)

im going to re-image the pc.

my m11xr2 arrives today and i will try on win 7
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
didnt work...

is the "flash_image" an executable that needs to be on the root of the sd or system?

Do i need to mount the drive or os or sytem or something first?

is there anyone who actually knows how to use terminal?? lol

This is like the blind leading the blind...
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Lol :) its not something ive ever had to do i just know its possible... try and send a pm to lufc coz he said he knew and would help if needed :)
[Streak 5 General] Radimus:
I'm going with the cause being the common item of these issues
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Right mate

Put the Recovery on to the root of your SD Card and name it Recovery

then open up the Terminal app you have on your streak and type

su (press enter)

Then Type

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (press enter)

Then Type

reboot recovery (press enter)

as the streak switches off press the volume up and down before it starts up and it will be in recovery then install the update

Now this way will work and will install the recovery

Hope it goes OK for you:)
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
I found another way lufc :) download droid explorer from http://de.codeplex.com/ it gives full root access to your streak like using root explorer. It also has options to reboot, flash recovery, backup, install (with icons etc..), desktop sms, logcat console, screencast (live screenshot view, im watching myself type on streak from desktop! Which has options for call, home, infact everything.... it fully emulates my streak allowing full control via desktop..very cool), has a colour coded console shell, package signer, sqlite explorer.... list is enless and i havent even looked through tools yet! Ill post a thread i think :)
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Yes just read your post on this must say it will come in very handy only problem will be explaining to others how to use it :)
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Lol noticed i kept well away from instructions as to not confuse further ;-) I can't believe there isn't any mention here of though... surprising!
[Streak 5 General] lchen5:
Seems like I encounter the exact same problem.

I upgraded to 2.2/318, now I want to go with DJ 1.5.1.

My Streak is in the fastboot mode, but it doesn't do anything for the fastboot command.

I have to enter "^C" to stop it from DOS terminal.
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Are you running windows? "C" isn't a command... first direct cmd to your fastboot directory "cd c:/streak" then "fastboot -i 0x413c flash flash_image" then it will show device flash image complex and fastboot blahblah... reboot
[Streak 5 General] lchen5:
^c mean ctrl+c.

Basically, my streak doesn't do anything after I enter fastboot command. I even entered fastboot -i -x413c reboot, still no response.

It was working before. I didn't upgrade from 1.6 to 2.2 DJ untouched(309) then,

318. The recovery image was flashed to the clockwoodmod before, but it doesn't work for 2.2/309 to 2.2/318 upgrade. I flashed the recovery image, then flash ROM to 318. Now, I can not flash the recovery image to clockwoodmod 2.5. I am not

sure if hard reset would help.
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Its -i 0x413c or was that a typo?
[Streak 5 General] charlie.s:
I too have a similar problem. Fstboot reboot will work, bit if I try to write a recovery image, Fastboot shows it loading the code in a normal time period, but the write is virtually instantaneous and nothing ever gets written to the Streak. This type of problem is occurring with enough people to rule out an act of god.

Droidexplorer looks absolutely amazing. I am frankly a little scared to try it.
[Streak 5 General] lchen5:
Yes, that's typo. I found a couple of place.

I should say I did upgrade from 1.6 to 2.2/309, then 2.2/318 without problem with

fastboot command. Now fastboot just doesn't do anything on my streak.
[Streak 5 General] Radimus:
Works for me
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
confuse further?

I'm not confused at all.

after using the recovery to flash the 318 official rom i could no longer get fatboot to work. its not rocket science and i had it working before just fine. just like others are now coming forward with similar issues.. i too could get fastboot to reboot the device but that was it...

so dont hold back... your not confusing anyone...you posted a couple good pointers but then nothing for follow up. if you dont know how to use these things then just say so but dont try and say your not posting it because you dont want to confuse anyone...

I'm all ears...
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
If you read the post I was replying to then you will/should see what I meant. I was referring to software I found that could help on windows. Don't take my reply (which I might add was not to you anyway) out of context and try relating it to your frustration. If you've read the whole thread you would also see that I've been trying to help.

clockworks recovery with ROM MANAGER?

fastboot doesn't work for me (like for many others) . On my the other phone, nexus one, I flashed clockworks recovery with ROM MANAGER. Is it safe to use on dell streak?:confused:
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Can you post a screenshot of your command window? Showing fastboot not connecting?
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Sorry Mate i have to disagree with you there both I and Tina have posted ways for you to get a recovery on your phone since you last posted and since that we have heard nothing off you if you have tried the things we said have you been successfull ????

Bit unfair to wards Tina saying she did not follow up when you have not bothered

If you start saying things like that to members that are trying to help you then they will just leave you to it :)
[Streak 5 General] charlie.s:
I tried flashing the 309 recovery image using DroidExplorer, but it did not work. The flash claimed to be finished immediately, a bad sign. Now if I try to go into recovery, I get a blank screen. Now I am really up a creek.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Do it this way

Put the Recovery on to the root of your SD Card and name it Recovery

then open up the Terminal app you have on your streak and type

su (press enter)

Then Type

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (press enter)

Then Type

reboot recovery (press enter)

as the streak switches off press the volume up and down before it starts up and it will be in recovery then install the update

Now this way will work and will install the recovery

Hope it goes OK for you
[Streak 5 General] charlie.s:
Thanks, but I know how to do this. Android Explorer automates the process. In my case, it does not work.

I am able to load the Dell 2.2 beta using the QDL repairtool following the excellent guide on Streakdroid.com (thanks, Steve). If I could unpack a pkg file into its various images, I could replace the files in the repairtool directory with the newer files. However, I have no idea how to unpack a pkg rom package nor have I seen any discussion of it either here or on Modaco.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] charlie.s:
My apologies -- I tried flash_image manually and was finally successful in installing a new recovery image.
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
didnt work as i have said many times now.
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
well you know.. the comment was insulting.. go and re-read her comments and you will see the information is limited or ineffective...so the last thing i need is to be insulted and especially when its a bs comment clearly..

furthermore the comment was not pointed to you.. so if its not addressing you then keep out of it ;)
[Streak 5 General] charlie.s:
Interestingly, while I can flash a new recovery image, it works only once. If I boot back into Dell's 318, the image is replaced and I am asked if I want to do an emergency recovery (= wipe the device). I need to flas the recovery each time I want to use it :(

[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
it just says flash_image: not found

the command "reboot recovery" does however reboot the streak.

which to me says there needs to be some sort of executable called flash_image...

is this tool built into the os???

has anyone actually done this by this method??

or is everyone just winging ideas??

nearly 20 years of Computer IT under my belt so im not some grey haired old lady who only knows how to click buttons...

its not hard to copy the recovery image to my sd card and its not hard to type

"flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"

so that being said...

again i ask..has anyone actually tried this and done it successfully?
[Streak 5 General] charlie.s:
Hi Bigfoots1,

Yes, this manual technique works even though Android Explorer did not work for me.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Yes i have done it and it works and so as others it was the way we found how to go from 2.1 back to 1.6

Edit

i have just tried it again the way i said and have had no problems
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
so provided i have root and a terminal prog... all i need is the recovery.img from the clockwork app to be sitting on the root of the sd card...and then to type the flash command? correct?

I have since got my HD2 back and am enjoying froyo 2.2.

I have a skeleton wm rom which is set to launch android automatically when i power on...

Also..

I have been so busy with a new laptop, Christmas, and now with getting my htc hd2 replacement i have totally put this streak on a back burner...

infact now that i have my hd2 back and running froyo im going to sell this streak. I ONLY bought it because nothing else compared to my HD2.

NOTHING..except the streak...which surpassed it. the problem is its just too big fro me as a daily user...

hopefully this thread will atleast help someone else...

im convinced my original fastboot issue has to do with a corrupted registry entry...its the only thing that makes any sense..
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Can you not do a system restore to a few months back and see if fast boot is ok, you can always restore it back to present day.
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
look...

recovery on root of sd card.

i am typing the supposed commands to flash recovery...

and its always the same... flash_image: not found
