Guest marculous Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I think I killed my streak. Got it as a gift about a month ago - att locked, 31 baseband, os 1.6 - tried to update manually using guide on streaksmart.com to os 2.2, and it stuck on dell logo. Tried it again and it went just black ( no lcd ) with flashing white lights - home, menu, back - then tried system recovery from sd card and it died. Then I tried ryrules bricked streak pdf and I can't get device manager to recognize the driver in the specified folder when I try to work directly with the qualcomm chip. And now, days later it won't seem to take a charge or do anything at all. I called dell this morning and they said that since I wasn't the original purchaser of record they can't replace it - and they won't transfer ownership without verification of original purchaser, which I can't get right now and may not be able to get at all. QDL can't find it when I plug it in. I am simply at a loss as to what I should do at this point. Any ideas out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shi3ld Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 have you checked the cable? My streak fell off the side and broke the charger cable inside the end, I managed to solder it back together, at first I thought it was the phone!! I had to order a new charger from dell's website, a good test would be to plug the phone into your PC with your USB cable, it should pick up the device even if its turned off..

Shi3ld My laptop (64 bit, vista) recognizes the quallcomm chip, but that's it. Won't let me do anything with it. It won't find the driver, it won't let me find the driver. sorry, 32 bit windows vista home basic Edited December 21, 2010 by marculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sader0 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Dude AFAIK if your PC detects your Phone then u have a chance..... suggest to closely study & follow up the guide on www.streakdriod.com (in the guides branch) to recover. So far I believe this is the only way I believe...... Edited December 21, 2010 by Sader0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest funaki Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 did you load test certificate? its important that you load the test certificate and while loading driver choose the option that says ill select the driver. As long as it shows qualcomm chipset under the device manager there might be hope that you can fix it. Do jump onto IRC to have someone help you out.

Guest aweAMsome Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 There is a good chance you can recover from this problem. Mine was dead also with no fastboot and no recovery. I used QDL repairtool and after, I was able to boot my phone into froyo again. PM me if you still needed help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest radomir Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 My Dell is bricked ..... When loading the recovery ran out of power, and this time it's not working. Do not turn on, the buttons are not illuminated, and charging the battery also does not work. The worst thing that a computer can not detect it too. Has anyone any ideas?

Guest jase17uk Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hi guys, need help here badly. I think my streak's almost bricked... here's what happened I had to replace the LCD screen as it was cracked due to an accident with it. But after putting it back together, I switched it on, it displays DELL logo fine but just freezes for a while then the illumation goes off so i pressed power button to reillumate the lcd screen now all I get is a screen full of still noise like you see on analogue TVs when not tuned to a channel but with colour! Seems to me that android o/s is corrupted? It still can be detected by my laptop but as Android 1.0 on win7 32bit but as Dell streak on 64bit Can still do the USB fastboot detect or pressing volume buttons and camera buttons same time. So whats is my options here? I am thinking of reinstalling it with Android 1.6 if poss? Tried factory reset, didnt work :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
