Oit of curiosity, has anybody ever read or heard about a 'true true brick' that wasn't related to a hardware fault? It is quite a relief knowing that even without the dell logo I can still recover from a brick (and such anxieties are one of the reasons I haven't moved past 1.1.1 yet).

[untrueparadox]

dont think there is a way to truly brick any phone. even the "bricked" htc phones can be unbricked by jtag on the motherboard and some recovery tools. the only true brick like u said is a hardware fault.

Another buzzwod: 'True True Bricked'....

I have the same issue with my Streak Beta (US) but I can actually see the dell logo.. and it just hangs there.  I cannot get into recovery or bootloader.  I am going to try the suggested, however I think that when I originaly ran the QDLtool, that is what caused the issues??  I'll report back, but does anyone have any other ideas as to go about fixing this for my beta US version?  I believe it is/was still 1.6 too...

Thanks guys!!

i tried taking out the battery and all that but no luck. i have ordered a new battery so will give it another go when the new battery gets here. i also took out the internal memory card and replaced with a Scandik 2gb but no luck. i would appreciate any help as my streak is as good as new cosmetically.

New battery came but no luck as well with that.
