got it working now got an Os splash screen but it works this is how i did it

HOW TO RESTORE YOUR STREAK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION:

Option 1.

1. Download the stock recovery ROM HERE (http://hotfile.com/dl/61659279/506ac...stock.img.html) and the stock official Dell ROM HERE (http://hotfile.com/dl/61663686/7d7e5...99_21.pkg.html).

2. Rename the stock official Dell ROM 'Update.pkg' and put it in the root directory on your SD card.

3. Boot Streak in fast boot mode (hold camera button when turning on), press 'Fast boot Mode' button, wait 10 seconds then connect to your PC (must have Dell PC suite installed).

4. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where your 'fast boot-windows.exe' is stored.

5. Type 'fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery c:\recovery.stock.img' . Make sure the .img file is in c:\ directory. The program will now update the recovery image on your Streak.

6. Once the phone reads 'Recovery Done', remove the battery and insert it again.

7. Boot Streak in Recovery mode (hold down vol up and vol down when turning on) and select option 2.

5. Wait till it installs and it'll boot into Android....DONE!

Option 2

Place update.pkg on SD card root folder

Power up streak whilst holding both volume buttons

Select option 2 - "software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card" by pressing camera button

Press camera button again Job done

i think later tonight i'll try to upgrade to 2.2 wish me luck and thanks for all your help EDRILL

i spend a whole night now to get android work on my hd2. had the same error message...

now i know why it didn't work and the solution was dead easy i had to beat myself...

sd card has to be FAT not FAT32

after formatting the card this way, everything works fine ^^
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrowley666:
Are you sure it has to be FAT? I have heard there are restrictions on this format that would make it impracticle to use on a 16gb microsd.

Also how you format to fat? my computer only has 2 options to format: Fat32 and exfat.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokenPixel:
FAT can only allocate up to 2 gigabytes of storage so there is something dodgy about that explanation.

i think nandroid backup is backing up my phone stuff?

if my n1 bricks in case can i unbrick it by restoring the backup :confused: :(

if i make a new backup will the previously made backup get deleted.

can i delete backups because it uses lot of space

thanks appreciate your help :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Nandroid backs up the entire phone state.

If you brick your phone then nothing can help, hence the name. If you have any problems that fall short of bricking then you can restore the backup to revert the phone.

You give every new backup a unique name and you can have as many as you want.

Delete any that you want to, just don't delete your original ROM backup.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Or you can just put some of your backups on your computer so you always have one just in case. You can always put it back and restore it if needed.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintax:
Recently ive been wondering why android is so different compared to windows?

I mean, although android 2.2, 2.3, (2.4) is out and running, only a small percentage of the phones actually got the upgrade, and most of em are still running 2.1 or lower for the time being, so what is the point in having a new firmware available if you cant run it on your phone anyway ?

Android is just a firmware right ? So why cant it be like windows, when there is a new version, no matter what specs or brand of PC, you just install and your up and running... And phones are just like small computers right ?

So why doenst google make android just as compatible as windows, and as soon as a new version comes out, we just install it and were good to go ? I know this is sort or less the whole point of it being open source, but there has to be a solution to this.

This would actually make so much more sense than it is right now! I know all phone-brands want to add there personal touch to there android phones like SE did with timescape and mediascape etc, but its all just based on the same firmware right ? So why cant these things like timescape and mediascape be seen like an update ? rather than fully integrated in the firmware ?

In my opinion, phone brands should go back to what they are actually good at.. manufacturing phones, and google should go back to what they are good at, designing new android versions, this shouldn't be the other way around.

Could one of you pls explain this to me ?

As a master student in economics, IF android could actually be compared like windows as I just explained, this would only have positive effects on the android/phone market, instead of all these angry and disappointed customers...

http://gizmodo.com/5733556/the-complete-state-of-android-froyo-upgrades

this threat is what made me write this, it is clear we are not the only ones stuck with 2.1 (but the gods at XDA are doing their best to fix this!)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown13x:
I understand your point. My take on it is about the fragmentation. I'm not commenting whether it is good or not, but here's what I think. Windows machine have a much higher memory where they can store drivers, settings, etc. Just Windows XP alone took approx 6GB? I don't think phones can have that much internal memory at the moment. Also, PC's have interfaces where everything comes out to the correct machine language (PCI, SATA, etc) While these lacks on phones. They have different architectures and peripherals that supports only that architecture. Therefore, to keep it lightweight, it is the manufacturer's responsibility that if they are using OS such as Android, that the OS works with their hardware, while on PC, it's more hardware to work with the OS. :)

I'm sure if there's a universal hardware interface for mobile devices and enough internal memory, your wish will come true ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintax:
I understand what you are saying, but then again, why dont we just manufacture android phones based on the same architecture ? So they will all be compatible with every version of android ?

If this could be accomplished in some way, manufacturers wont have to deal with the lack of compatibility of newer versions anymore, and every phone will run optimal with any given firmware.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
Android is at the same development stage as windows when it was win.dos, effectively; the future development was not foreseen. The aggressive marketing by ms changed that, obviously, but pcs from that era are hopelessly outdated. Mobile manufacturers are keeping up with Google rather than being dictated to by them. Eventually, a physical threshold will result in Android updates being software instead of hardware.

I think...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:
android is a fairly new n young operating system... its hardly 2 yrs old....

give it time... the way its goin now it headed in the right direction (same as windows)... compatibility issues will be sorted as time progresses... bare in mind that android devices span vast array of price ranges (and thus diff hardware as suited for that price) so compatibility will be an issue which will be sorted out in time...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown13x:
The problem is there's too many architecture to go for. A universal architecture means we're eliminating many companies. For example, say we choose snapdragon as our universal. That means ARM, NVIDIA, will all be taken out the competition. Of course ARM cannot build a microcontroller based on snapdragon's design either, this is due to licensing and such. I'm sure manufacturer wants something like you said, it will be much easier to manage, but chip makers are doing things their own way. Also, you have to consider how much new technology is being introduced to phones in just one year. It is massive. Even if phones have the same architecture, the problem that comes about is the memory size to store all the drivers. Either way, it will have to go through the manufacturer to strip it out, which would be back to where we start again. So it will not work out anytime soon...However I did heard Google is aiming to make a flexible Android where it can do something like you said, but looking at the hardware change, it's impossible for now :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
FWIW - I think that it's more to do with USP's - Each manufacturer could, quickly and fairly easily just bung stock android onto their hardware, and therefore make it extremely easy for us all to upgrade to the latest OS.. but they think.. "hang on, if we do that then all the phones will look and work in the same way.. why would anyone want to buy ours, over xxx competitors phone... no that simply won't do.. we must make our phones special, different and more appealing to XYXY subset of the market... that way we'll sell more phones than our competitors and eventually.. if we're lucky, we might just compete with Apple"..

Or something along those lines!

I think having a build.prop for a galaxy tab might create different issues, though. I think the tab is 2.2, so you would run the possibility of getting apps that won't run well on 2.1 ....

[Flipout and Charm General] bagers:
I find it quite strange that the phone does not allow to make outgoing calls when the keyboard is closed.

Because when you have an outgoing call you can still close the phone and the call will continue. That profs that it's possible. But with to much emission? If not...

Could there be some way overcome that that limitation?
[Flipout and Charm General] Cubibubi:
The issue is that if you close the screen, the microphone is hidden.
[Flipout and Charm General] sahack:
Yep. The MIC is on the keyboard, which gets covered when you don't have the keyboard flipped out.
[Flipout and Charm General] bagers:
The issue is that it's even impossible to answer a call when the headset is connected.

Yesterday I was outside, it was windy and friend called. The headset was connected. I had the phone in my pocket and closed the phone while I was asking my friend if he might hear any differences in the quality of my voice.

He recognized no change in quality and we were able to talk just normally without problems. Does the headset has a microphone or is always the microphone of the phone used?

In any case, not being able to answer a call with headset connected without opening the phone is quite poor.

I would like to have an app to fix this behaviour. I don't like being patronized by Motorola.

PS: I just recognized that the headset has a single button for answer/hang up. Just the application for incoming calls does not have this feature which is still quite poor. Is the standard android (without motoblur) better?
[Flipout and Charm General] sahack:
Behind that 'single button' on the headset, there is a microphone. That's why if you have a headset(not to be confused with headphone), you can make a call w/o opening the phone.

However, as I've tested, even when the phone is closed, the MIC near the keyboard blocked by the phone's screen can still function normally(via Voice Search).

Debrand Yoigo ZTE Blade - Orange led to Green Man

Hi,

I followed the instructions here:

chrislowthian.co.uk/how-to-unlock-de-brand-and-root-the-zte-blade-orange-san-francisco/1824

Which an xda-developer forum discussion member suggested.

I tried it and when rebooting at the end, I was stuck at the green man.

I can still enter Clockworkmod Recovery by holding volume down at boot.

Is there a different r8_update or r* debranding .zip file I should use for Yoigo, instead of the one there linked for De-Orange-ifying? Does it matter?

Also, before I tried to rebrand, I backed up my ROM with ROM Manager.

I think I see that file is advanced-recovery in the clockworkmod recovery screen.

Should I use advanced-restore, select the ROM I backed up, and then choose one of these: restore boot, system, data, cache, sd-etx options? Which option should I choose? Or should I use non-advanced restore, or restore zip from sd card -> install /sdcard/update.zip (what is that?) ?

And then, when I have my phone back, what debranding ROM can I properly use for Yoigo?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I flashed with darkys V8 ROM last night and all worked well. I wanted to get a feel for what else was out there so i tried flashing one of Doc's roms this morning.

It still feels like some of Darkys touches are on the phone...ie, green battery and signal icons etc. Im not sure if this is also part of of Doc Rambones rom i flashed with.

Is it ok to just write one rom over another or should i have done a factory reset or returned to base firmware first?

Can i still go back and start again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Depends upon the rom . But if you are having problems wipe/factory reset .

Two sorts of roms one no wipe and one wipe . Wipe will delete data but cause less problems .

[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
What ROM are you using? depends on whether or not the rom developer has written in the ability to add blur components to his work.
[Droid X General] Scott48:
I'm running the same thing as you - Liberty with a Serenity theme. Starting to realize how hard it is to add Blur to a Blurless ROM. I thought I could just add the .apk, fix the permissions and be good to go. Still trying to figure it all out.
[Droid X General] zanix:
I added back in these files from the stock ROM

/system/framework/blur-res.apk

/system/framework/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar

/system/app/Dock.apk

Then you will want to remove /system/app/DeskClock.apk

I also added back in /system/app/BlurAlarmClock.apk form the Moto alarm clock as well

You may also need to do this edit to make the dock work

adb pull /data/system/packages.xml packages.xml
