[Captivate General] bigsmitty64:
I have only flashed a rom twice now, and it was Cognition both times, (2.3B6 first time and most recently 3.04) I can tell you that Cog 3.04 is amazing! Its based on the Official Froyo release from Rogers (canadian carrier) but has been "americanized" and it's quite fast and very smooth. In case you haven't seen these, I followed the 3 part video tutorials for flashing your rom, from user "

connexion2005".

He is very detailed and really takes the time to walk you through the process. The links are,

I am running Paragon and it runs great. I tried Cognition, but had to change the font back to stock and didn't like that it was missing Bluetooth voice dialing.
[Captivate General] owmygulay:
Last week I traded an iPhone 4 for a captivate. I got way tired of playing the little games trying to keep the jailbreak everytime a new update came out. I just did the phoenix ROM and it is pretty good.
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
Cognition is good if u want to stick with what samsung gave us to use.....all the garbage is remove for performance reasons....I've been using serendipity since it started and its my favorite.....its the closest thing to a stock android rom..... I like the color scheme and the fact that there's hardly any traces of touchwhiz. I alway put together my own custom parts though which is what's great about android...Im using hardcores kernel and the jk3 modem.....changed the battery icon ect....
[Captivate General] blazin619:
I would have traded my captivate for your iphone4. The iphone4 is like double the price. What were you thinking.
[Captivate General] sweepstakes:
True. Then I would have sold it and used the money to buy two more captivates. Lol
[Captivate General] leoingle:
that wouldnt bother me, i dont care about the BVD.

yeah, i dont feel like i should have to erape my phone through s security vulnerability just to do stuff on my phone.

thanks for the info. i want stock android more than samsung, so i will try serendipity.

it wasnt a 4, it was a 3GS.
[Captivate General] leoingle:
ha! howdy damnit! :D
[Captivate General] DucatiGuy:
I was an iPhone 3G user for over 2 years. I loved it, thought it was the best, wondered why all these android users were saying the iPhone sucked, etc. So my company issued me a Captivate, and at first I felt like I was getting downgraded, even though by strict tech specs the Cappy blows the iPhone 3G outta the water. That was with stock 2.1...

Then I started reading these forums, and decided to venture into flashing some custom 2.2 and eventually 2.2.1 ROMs. After that, I really started feeling like my Cappy was a huge upgrade over the iPhone 3G.

Keep reading the forums here, learn more about your phone, try some ROMs, learn to customize themes, homescreens, etc and you will absolutely love this phone. Android is so much more fun to work with than IOS, it's not even funny.

One word to the wise - before you start in with flashing, make sure you understand how to recover back to stock. I can't post links, but there's stickies in the development forums. READ THEM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CyanCrayon:
I've read through all the *two* posts that have to do with the Sanyo Zio and bootlooping. I've tried everything they suggested.

I've tried holding down the volume up + end, and letting it "update",

I've tried holding down the volume down + end, and reformatting it, even wiping the cache and vice versa.

Still no dice.

What happened was that my brother decided that instead of flashing a theme, (like a normal human being), that he would replace the system files to theme it. He rebooted the phone and that was the last time he ever saw the home screen. He was stuck at the Sanyo bootloop.

I've tried looking for a way to flash a new image, but I couldn't find anything.

I also tried connecting to the phone via ADB while it was on the recovery menu, but i either don't have the drivers, or it just doesn't work.

Help?

I stupidly didn't backup my bell rom and want to go back to the original shipped bell rom. Would someone be able to provide me with their back-up please.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
Could this possibly be due to your lack of ability to follow directions? Simular to how you did not read the WARNING about posting in Dev?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #1RAGE:
In late December my first 9000M died on me (internal sd failure). I sent it directly to Samsung and they replaced the phone with a new one. I got the new phone about a couple of weeks ago and now some problems are starting to show up. Both my old and new 9000M's were manufactured in 10.08. The new one came back with JL2 installed and I haven't done anything other than unlock and root.

Last night I went to go use Google Goggles. When I launched it, it went to a black screen and the phone vibrated a few times then force closed. I tried it again and the camera view would show up then go black and then show up again and keep repeating this cycle. So then I tried the camera and that was doing the same thing (flashing on/off). I rebooted the phone and tried again. This time Google Goggles would take a picture but it would keep scanning forever. I reinstalled Google Goggles and it worked for one picture last night

Now skip ahead to today. Goggles force closes again. When I start the camera it seems like it is going to work but when I try take a picture, the camera starts flashing on/off and then a warning comes up and it says "camera failed" then eventually the camera app closes.

Does this sound like the start of an internal sd card failure? I had similar problems with my last Galaxy S before it died but it was different apps failing just before the phone went completely black and never woke up again.

This is a bit ridiculous and I don't think I would buy another Samsung phone anytime soon. I'm not sure what I will do if this one is dead because I would rather not have to deal with the same problem a third time.

Thanks for your input.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeARMS:
Could definitely be the start of the SD card failure. The good news is you'd be able to call Bell, and they'd ship a new phone to you within 3-5 days and apply a $100 credit towards your account, so you wouldn't have to deal with Samsung.

I'd try performing a factory reset to rule out a problem with the software, and if the FCs keep occurring I'd flash a different ROM. If the problems still persist on a different ROM, seems like you should give Bell a call sometime soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #1RAGE:
Actually I'm not a Bell customer so no good news there. I will try a factory reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #1RAGE:
The factory reset worked but then I used Titanium Backup to restore all my apps and settings and then my camera was broken again. It is highly likely that my camera files were corrupt already the last time I backed up. So I did yet another factory reset and this time I won't restore backups and I will see how long it lasts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #1RAGE:
Here we go again... Yesterday the video camera would fail to record. Now the still camera either says "Camera failed" or the viewfinder screen flashes between the camera image and black until it force closes.

I'm starting to hate the 9000M.

There's an app in the market that brings up the same options. Its called phone info. I've had it installed for a while.

[Streak 5 General] daesdaemar:
OK, so I got my stock Dell streak unlocked Froyo last week and I wanted to unlock it. I read the various threads and it was a bit unclear what worked and what didn't. So here is how I did it for you peeps with new Streaks:

Note: this is for Windows only... (has been tested and works on basebands 315 and 318)

1) download and install the Windows drivers from here:

ftp://ftp.dell.com/Handheld/R288920.exe

2) download SuperOneClick 1.5.5 from here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=437039&d=1289271263

3) extract SuperOneClick on your hard drive

4) put your Streak in USB debugging mode: Settings>Applications>Development>turn on USB Debugging

5) plug your Streak into the computer - do not mount the SD card

6) right click on SuperOneClick.exe and run as administrator

7) click "Root" and watch the progress and follow instructions.

8) if all went well, you can then find the SuperUser app on your Streak.

If this fails, there are a couple of things that can be done that will likely lead to success. One is to try the above procedure with the SD card taken out of the phone. The other option is to turn the phone off and start the root process as above. When the process gets to "Waiting on Device" then turn the phone on.

Hope this helps...
[Streak 5 General] traithudo:
Would z4root be a lot easier and less time-consuming way than above post? I used z4root 1.2, and it works like a charm!
[Streak 5 General] daesdaemar:
I never tried z4root because most of the posts I read said it didn't work for Froyo 2.2...

Glad there's another way to do it :)

Anyway, my point was to explain a step-by-step way for newbs like me.
[Streak 5 General] gogoduck:
Unfortunately zroot 1.3 does not work on my streak :(

AND I AM USING MAC, THX ANYWAY
[Streak 5 General] angelosabatini:
I tried to download the SuperOneClick but my antivirus block it every time because there is a trojan virus
[Streak 5 General] me4tux:
Hello daesdaemar,

Many thanks for your post. It's a good step by step reference. I am expecting my Dell factory shipped Froyo Red Streak to show up any time soon...

DO you have a list of tips and tricks / tweaks to configure, or install some basic but key apps to get your Dell Streak to optimal run state?

A list like this: Once you receive a factory shipped Froyo Streak, do this:

1. Root it (see daesdarmar's method)

2. Set up keyboard for Swype since it's the best option (or download and replace Swype with latest beta version optimized for Streak 5" screen)

3. Install App X and tweak these to speed up processor frequency

4. Install "Bloat Manager" to disable any un-necessary Dell apps etc

5.

6.

7. etc

I was searching around for a nice list of "To-dos" from anyone who recently received a factory installed Froyo Streak but I can't find a good list around and handy....

Let me know if you can help build one or share one ...

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 General] daesdaemar:
Thanks...

I am a new Streaker, so I don't know that I'm the one to compile a list of essentials, but I did the following in the first day or so just to make it seem a bit better/more personal:

1) rooted

2) Titanium Back Up for freeze/uninstall bloatware

3) AstroFile and File Expert to serve as file managers and connect to my home network

4) QQPlayer to watch videos

5) JustPictures! for my photos

6) Multi Picture Live for wallpaper manipulations

7) Kindle and Aldiko readers

8) Dropbox

9) Extended Controls - nice widget

Trying to figure out if there is a better browser...

Just playing with it and having a good time :)
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I recently got a carrier unlocked Streak with Android 2.2 from Dell. I received it with 2.2 on it. Here's what I've done so far:

1. Root it - see steps in OP

2. Install Titanium backup (paid) and freeze the apps I don't/won't use.

3. Install Root Explorer

4. Changed this line debug.sf.hw=0 to this debug.sf.hw=1 in build.prop. See this

5. I use SlideIt for my keyboard most of the time. I like it better than Swype and I had already paid for it with my old phone. I have been trying Thumb Keyboard for landcape and also have Better Keyboard..

6. I use LauncherPro (donation version) for my home app with just 3 screens.

What's bloat and what's useful is different depending on your needs.

Not working

Hello,

I have a Dell Streak with Android 2.2, build 12821, Baseband version 318.

Nothing I have tried has worked to root this ^%$#@! thing! I have tried several versions of superoneclick and other options, but nothing is getting it done.

Has anyone successfully rooted this build version?

Pleeeeeaaasssse help!?!

Remove the SD card and run 1.5.5. It works!
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
That's what worked for me on baseband 318, using a WinXP pro computer. May also work just by unmounting the SD Card in Menu->Settings->SD card & phone storage.

Even though I was not turning on USB storage when I connected the USB cable the computer was seeing the SD Card as a removable drive in Windows Explorer.

This seems to have solved the problem. Seems TB needs a certain version of busybox to work. Allowing TB to replace the busybox version that was installed by superoneclick fixed it.

I had similar problem, had bought a red uplocked froyo dell streak upgraded it to .322, jst couldn't get it to root..

tried superoneclick's latest version, it din't work, thn i tried using an older version of superoneclick n bingo it worked, version tht worked for me is 1.5.5.0 ..

hope it helps ,,:)

now on to my issue...

on my streak which in on .322 rooted n factory unlocked, i am jst unable to get fastboot to recognise the device ...in device manager i jst never find the bootloader driver :( ..

went thru various guides for weeks but stil unable to get the device recognised in fastboot mode, m using windows XP ..

please if someone could guide me ..would appreciate the effort thnx
[Streak 5 General] eowyn:
Try doing the same thing as what you did the first time using qdl tool or if your streak is working connect your streak to computer while it is on, from there you can install the driver for streak when your computer recognise your streak as a device, it happens to me sometimes and that is what I do.
[Streak 5 General] s.supreet:
i hav never used qdl tool, can the qdl tool be used on official 2.2 aswell to ..donnno much bout qdl n wher ilever i have read bout it iswth ppl tryin to get to 2.2 using it but dint c any instance of ppl using it when already on 2.2..

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JI3MMAN7
[Streak 5 General] coldreaction:
Youve probably figured it out by now. But in case not

- try SOC version 1.5.5.

- try having the phone powered OFF until SOC says "waiting for device"

- DISABLE any antivirus REAL TIME monitoring

- DONT use DELL download support page if youre running Froyo - look up the NERO DELL SYNC on google

This worked on my carrier-locked phone (Rogers). I was having all kinds of problems before that.
[Streak 5 General] coldreaction:
So my phone (locked to Rogers) is about 4 days old.

- rooted

- Titanium Backup (paid)

- File Explorer (paid)

- Wireless Scheduler (free avail, but paid for more features - great for battery life)

- build.prod mod (noticeable increase in speed)

- OpenTable app (high-end restaurant reservation)

- Gtask List (google synced)

- GO SMS (replacement)

- PRO NOTES (web/android synced notepad app), web app called DIIGO

- PREY device tracker (remote access, wipe, etc)

Oh and dont forget about getting an OTTERBOX hard/soft case for the phone. Ebay, 15$!

Still thinking about

- bigger notification area (battery life in %)

- LED light notification

- better browser

- HSDPA useage monitor

uh, can you be more specific? ie. what have you tried thus far?

Also, did you read my post above about the work-around I had to go through?
[Streak 5 General] mcjacob:
Hi!

Tried your method.

Two things:

1. Your SuperOneClick link does not have any attachment. So I downloaded the file version from elsewhere.

2. Continued the process with the SD card out (to be safer) but this is the message I get on running SuperOneClick.exe:

Could you tell me what the problem could be.

I'm using an unlocked dell steak with the official froyo build. Let me know if you need anymore details... (I'm kinda new to Android).

Thanks...
[Streak 5 General] coldreaction:
Hard to link images to a local box ;)
[Streak 5 General] mcjacob:
@ cold reaction: Yup! was trying to rectify that when I thought I'd try out the root process again. Seems to have worked though!!!
[Streak 5 General] mcjacob:
@ daesdaemar: Your method worked for me too. Couple of changes I had to do were:

1. download SuperOneClick 1.5.5-ShortFuse of the net (since your link was dead).

2. Install .NET framework from Microsoft.

... and presto! Super User!

Thanks again!
[Streak 5 General] Batmantis:
