I think I bricked my streak... After 2.1 update [FIXED]

[Guest Warpedflash]

I have been having problems with 2.1 so i decided to wipe my phone and start again...

I tried to flash clockwork recovery but after i flashed it when I tried to enter recovery (vol+power and select update from .pkg) I just get a black screen with the back light on... So I plugged my phone back in to my pc and decided i would reflash the stock recovery. When i did this i used adb to wipe my system/cache partitions as I could not do it with clockwork. I then reflashed the original recovery mode to be greeted with the same thing! black screen when I try to enter recovery... Any Ideas?

I can still get to the fast boot screen but dont rely know what to do :S

Right how i sorted this out was to boot my streak into fastboot mode.

then from my PC i used ABD to erase the system/recovery partitions

i Then used the system image found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753699

and the recovery image found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...935#post7667935

Both of which will only work on baseband 21 model streaks (o2 contract).

Flash the new image files then reboot the phone. hopefully you will then get a working streak! the first boot took about 2-5 mins n my phone but boy was i glad when the o2 logo showed up!

Hope this helps some people

In the end i managed to get help off a couple of people in teh irc channel. It involved flashing a specific 2.1 system image and and boot images from fastboot. there were a few of us in the channel having problems and this only worked for me but the otehr got help in there as well. the irc channel is a good place to look.
