It's just like searching Google, or anything else. It's not hard and it doesn't matter if you are "new to Android" or not I don't think. If you type 'mp3 download' (a pretty common thing you would think to type if you want to download mp3s) on the Market, I literally just now did it, the first 8 things that come up will all work fine. It's just a matter of which one you like the best. It's an opinion and everyone has their own. For example: the guy above likes Gtunes while I hate it, and use MP3 Music Download Super. You have to learn to form your own opinions...so anyways, it has nothing to do with being new to Android, you just search like you do anything else, and LEARN on your own.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] kenio8185:
Im not new to android and I did search those up, however, I have no clue what else is on their servers where they get their music. Things could be infected, that's why I asked what you guys recommend.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mustang302LX:
Ok now that you put it that way I see your point lol.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] BravoMotorola:
Ahh...yea I don't get what the whole deal is with the whole Android getting viruses and everything...they aren't like computers, and the only way something could get on your phone and do something you don't want is through installing an apk file that you give the permissions to. No file other than .apk can be twined with a "virus" and "infect" your phone....I don't know why so many people think that.

I just bought a sprint tab on craigslist and seen not to much goin on for cdma..is it ok to flash verizon and gsm roms if im not gonna use the 3g...i use wifi only..or could I flash a rom without the modem or?

We the bastard SGT stepchildren...

Not a dumb question at all, and you're right, there isn't much out there...

I WAS gonna' link to the few that were available, but it looks like a TON of development threads have been moved and/or deleted... strange...

This is from my post on UltimateDroid, not sure how useful they are now, though...

Here are the ROM/Kernal links from XDA:

This guy seems to be doind the most work for us CDMA Tab owners:

http://forum.xda-dev...archid=61835995

There's a DEV working on a HC port (don't know if it will be carrier specific) and he seems to have the most thorough work so far, but I can't find that freakin' thread either... Server issues must be worse than expected...

im trying to get the files off my rooted stock SGT too so i can start playing with the safety net of files i can odin. any advice you can give me on pulling the files through adb, modem, kernel, stock rom etc would help :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
I can confirm that this method worked to root BB 345.

Edit:

nandroid backup hangs at "Backing up firstboot. . . "

Here is exactly what I did to my phone:

Updating to baseband 345, Android 2.2.2 and then rooting phone.

Starting point - rooted, carrier unlocked Streak with baseband 318 with the performance fix and Streakmod recovery installed

Backup apps/data with whatever means you prefer

power off phone

start streakdroid recovery

- wipe cache partition

- wipe dalvik cache

- make a full nandroid backup

- mount sd card via usb

-- copy superuser.zip to sd card

-- copy the update.pkg file for 345 to sd card

- unmount sd card

reboot phone into fastboot mode

flash the recovery.img for 345 to the phone

reboot to the stock recovery ( at this point I disconnected the usb cable)

install BB 345 via the stock recovery option 2

Let the phone reboot - this may take a few minutes for first boot, be patient.

- at this point I did the setup, entering my gmail account.

power off

start phone in fastboot mode

flash streakdroid recovery to the phone

reboot into streakdroid recovery (do not let the phone boot normally as the recovery will be overwritten)

install the superuser.zip file using streakdroid recovery

reboot phone

- superuser app is now in app tray

went to market and installed Titanium Backup and Busybox installer

confirmed that device was rooted

powered off and started in recovery mode, stock recovery had replaced streakmod recovery (so you can just go ahead and do what I did next and skip this :) )

installed root explorer and renamed install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.orig (the file is in /etc)

powered off phone and started in fastboot mode

flashed streakmod recovery

reboot phone

shut down and start in recovery mode - confirmed that streakmod recovery is working

- attempted do a full nandroid backup, hangs up at "Backing up firstboot. . ."

- reboot phone and customize as desired

Now that I have this rooted I will play with it for a few days.

[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
do you mean 345? havnt heard of 245 before
[Streak 5 Android Development] zac68:
Worked for me on 2.2.2 345 with the exception that I had to do a factory reset after running this as my Streak would not boot in to Froyo. It would get to the Swipe to unlock screen then bounce back to the Dell bootscreen. It did this continuously till I did a factory reset. The root was still in place after this and it has been fine for the last 24 hours since then.

[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Unrelated question: you're in australia, are the streaks sold there US models?

I see that Telstra 3g is 2100/850
[Streak 5 Android Development] zac68:
I bought an AT&T Streak off an eBay seller and use in on Telstra Next G (3.5G I.E UMTS 850). Gernerally speaking the ones sold here are the UK version 900/2100, so compatible with Telstra 3G (UMTS 2100) but not Telstra Next G.

[Streak 5 Android Development] Neo3D:
Does this work on 347?

Can someone please add some of the missing details in doing this root? I've rooted my Evo, but these steps seem to be missing details. Like, are some of these commands done on your laptop? Do we have to plug in our Streaks?

Many thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
all you do is install a custom recovery and flash it as a zip
[Streak 5 Android Development] Neo3D:
I tried installing the custom recovery in this post but I keep getting the Dell logo + /!\ (triangle with !)

UPDATE:

Okay, I got it working on 347. In that screen above, you have to press power button, and that brought up the recovery menu. Please include that in the main instructions.

The whole time I thought it didn't work cuz I kept getting the Dell logo + /!\ (triangle with !)

On that screen press power, if you see recovery, then it worked!

Great post, thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
that means it installed properly, that is the cutom rec
[Streak 5 Android Development] altugk:
Hi All.

Can someone explain me those steps pls?

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] bietoff0728:
Greetings everyone

After step 4. flash recovery recovery.img, my streak immediately restarts and now i'm stuck at the DELL LOGO like forever... Anyone can help me out?

Thanks!!

[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
what did you do exactly? installing a recovery shouldnt ever cause you to get stuck at the dell logo
[Streak 5 Android Development] jamesfromou:
try using superoneclick, but dont attach your phone until it says waiting for device. (I used version 1.5) Im on Build 15274 Base Band GAUSB1A134700-US android 2.2.2 factory unlocked.

This is the only thing I could get to work. It would not work if the phone was plugged in to the computer before it said waiting on device.
[Streak 5 Android Development] zbdou:
How do you know the android 2.2.2 is factory unlocked?

I just have the same build and am trying to get it rooted to get rid of bloatware.

I just followed the step and could not see the "install zip from sdcard" menu item.

Only 4 choices:

1. factory reset

2. update.zip .......

3. screen calibration

4. power off
[Streak 5 Android Development] tonyII:
not sure

hi ppl,

i got the new 345 rom on at last, but cant figure out the rooting.

4. flash recover.img >> fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

5. reboot >> fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

i cant figureout,,, do i need to do something with qdltool and sdk stuff

can you please write this rooting process for total noobs like me

i know i know im sorry lol......
[Streak 5 Android Development] subbu001:
Hi

I am also stuck at step 4. How does one carry it out? simple English please. This is my first time doing this. My Build is 347.

I have tried to open the CMD Window at the folder where the recovery.img file is and I typed the fastboot -i 0x.... command. But it gave me an error saying that fastboot is not recognized. Do I need the fastboot.exe file then? Where do I get it? It is not in the attachments downloaded.
[Streak 5 Android Development] tonyII:
ok i found 1.8.1.7-streak-clockworkrecovery.zip which had all the adb and fastboto files i needed, so i just copied them all into same recover folder as the recovery img from 1st post, opened cmd and did the commands, the dos bax says all good, the white fastboot screen on streak said recover downloaded

then i did the fastboot reboot command and sur enough streak rebooted i held the volume buttons and just get the usual white menu screen cal, update, factory reset etc

i am not getting the recovery menu one , damn i thought i had this , i so deserve the final help now , im on my knees lol

EDIT::: just found this, giving it a go brb

HOW TO INSTALL THE RECOVERY

* Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

* Reboot with: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

* Hold down the keys "volume up" and "volume down" simultaneously while rebooting.

* Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu

* At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu
[Streak 5 Android Development] tonyII:
ok im rooted, thanks for all the hard work ppl
[Streak 5 Android Development] tonyII:
give me a shout subbu001, i will send you everything you need and every single step to get this done, the first post kind of assumes you know a little about fastboot and adb and sdk and recovery, lol, well i do now, if you want help message me or reply me dude.....

happy easter everyone

I can't get this to work. Been trying and nothing. It keeps saying fastboot is not a command. I downloaded 1.8.1.7-streak-clockworkrecovery.zip, place recovery.img from the first post into extraced folder. Renamed folder to "Recovery", created a directory "Root345" on "C" drive and place my "recovery" there. Opened cmd, changed the working directory and it still doesn't work... What am I doing wrong here?

Here's my exact cmd text:

Edit: Ok so after I checked out the bat file I noticed how fastboot should be started, so I changed my command to: "fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img"

now it just says "waiting for the device"? I first ran it with my streak "off", then I turned it on and ran the same command again, and it still says waiting for the device. How do I do this step:

??

[Streak 5 Android Development] Newcron:
Just in case you haven't figured this out, the easiest way to flash recovery images is using the program MultiRecoveryFlasher which you can download here in this forum (look around for the thread, it should be right around this one near the top of the Streak Development).
[Streak 5 Android Development] elsworth1983:
I think 351is a bit slower than dj steves but i had a few fc with dj steves but i will not slafe him because i think he does a great job for u streaky users and video chat i dont use

Thank you Newcron.. I was able to flash the streakdroid recovery using the MultiRecovery flasher.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nimdivino:
So I followed the instructions and everything went smoothly and I even got a message being successful (sorry can't think of the actual verbage).

How do I know if I am rooted or not? I tried changing couple of lines inside system/build.prop to run netflix but I can't seem to save it. I am using ES File Explorer to go inside the build.prop file.

[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
As a note: you should NOT use superboot images under any condition:

Superboot images are rom version specific, if these are anything like the older superboots for 1.6/2.1 they will softbrick if you install a mismatched one.

Superboot still requires you to flash it, using superuser.zip will work on all recovery images that can flash zips.

They both accomplish the same goal (to root) but boot images have more cavats associated with them.

Superuser 3.0

Busybox 1.19.2

also moved all the files over to /system/xbin now

As far as i'm aware there's no difference functionally weither it's in bin or xbin, it just sounds more organized to put it there as bin otherwise never needs to be touched beyond these few files.

Just an FYI - I tested the zergRush exploit using SOC 2.2 and this script and neither will root the Streak on BB 360. Just thought I would give a heads up for anyone who was thinking about it.

Best way to root the Streak is with StreakMod Recovery and the superuser.zip.
