Guest spences10 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I just want to check this before i do anything and brick my phone. If i do a nandroid before i flash the new boot.img and system.img will i be able to do a nandroid restore and get back to what i was on before. Basically does nandroid back up and restore the boot.img? I'm competent.... to a certain level :lol: Nandroid isnt really working that well atm is it? keeps hanging on the data part of the backup, so if you want to keep your data then use mybackup or something for your data. But if its just the boot.img and system.img you are interested in restoring then yes nandroid should work fine. @work atm so will add to mega upload or something when i get in tonight if you are still interested, but it looks like DJ_Steve will have a working version by then anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen Hyde Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 The links to latest build are in my last post on prev page Can you post or PM the files to flash via fastboot. Want to flash one of my streaks to test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 323spoon Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 thanks Spences. I've just come to find i dont have any adb or fastboot stuff installed on my work computer so i'll leave it till i get home tonight and give it a whirl. Maybe by then Steve will have a new version out. We'll wait and see. Steve appears to be getting farer than Dell are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont listen to me 323spoon, I was talking abt using the 2.1 system which DJ_Steve posted on the 27/09/10 Things have now moved on a bit now: See post from DJ_Steve, for 2.2!!! Ok my test system.img for 2.2 is up http://downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve/builds/system.img You need boot img from http://downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve/2.2/boot.img May be wise to wipe /data yourself too before flash Working Data/3g dalvik with jit (linpack score in the 30s at moment Google apps sd card mount Sound is still dodgy and likely not working Nor working pretty much everything else :lol: Testers only please Edited September 30, 2010 by spences10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just flash via fastboot, if you have a custom recovery then you must be able to use fastboot? fastboot -i 0x413c erase system -w fastboot -i 0x413c flash system system.img fastboot -i 0x413c erase boot fastboot -i 0x413c flash boot boot.img fastboot -i 0x413c reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 323spoon Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 The links to latest build are in my last post on prev page Steve, i've managed to get my fastboot working at work now so im planning on flashing. If i do want to go back to the stock or modaco 2.1 then would i need a 2.1 boot.img? and if so, do you have it? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vinokirk Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 There is a code somewhere to totally wipe the phone. Exercise caution when using this code tho, im not sure how it would work with the install method being used here. Plus you need to boot into the phone to input it. Perhaps try installing stock 1.6 then using code then fastboot? Im no expert and ive never used the code before, im just throwing ideas about!

Guest spences10 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Stoopid question.....how? Pull the battery from your phone, put it back in> hold down vol up+vol down+power button until you get the recovery options, i think factory reset is opt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebooted into the recovery mod thingy, selected the zip i had on my SD card of an r2 rom from the modaco kitchen, flashed, rebooted, and now back to 2.1 without any issue.

In the recovery menus there is a partitions menu, go into that> format boot> format system> format data> format cache Power off> go into fastboot> fastboot flash system + boot Try again, if you get the bootloop again> goto factory reset again If that dosent work then I dont know :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tacoman667 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 @Stephen Hyde Just donated. Looking forward to trying your builds. I am a total n00b when it comes to doing any of this so I am waiting until you can get a really good working and stable build going before I attempt. Thanks for the dedication you are putting in on this project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulVlagsma Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Froyo is on the Streak - umm - qsd8250_surf Used spences10's 'fastboot' method post #184 Also, do # adb shell # cd /data # rm -r * before reboot. (fastboot erase data does NOT work - sorry it was late at night) with the 2.2/boot.img and builds/system.img, post #157 booted a couple of times, and now it works. I had to chmod 644 /etc/dbus.conf, because I was getting W/libdbus ( 1474): Failed to start message bus: Failed to open "/etc/dbus.conf": Permission denied *) Also I only have portrait mode, with the top near the 3 led's. *) Phone works, I can hear on the Streak, but microphone is not working. No data. Incoming calls - does not ring - can be picked up - again no mic. *) Linpack 33.175 Great stuff, Stephen.
