Guest Alkiera Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 read this it'll help the noobs ! What_you_need_to_know_about_the_Dell_Streak___PDF.pdf That was actually pretty helpful, concisely stated stuff I kinda stumbled through and guessed at last night. The site and forums that claim to be the home of ClockworkMod are the next best thing to useless, there's no documentation on using Nandroid anywhere that I could find. Thanks! @ANONNY, I believe you use the update-new.zip with fastboot; the 'update' command lets you send all the images in a zip file, like fastboot -i 0x413c update update-new.zip I'll likely be giving it a shot here in 4 hours or so, when I get home from work.

Guest GriZlore Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 hm, if you don't know how to update with update.zip, maybe it's better not to do this :) Go custom recovery, and update from update.zip... +1 That is just what I was thinking. And as I am also not 100% about it myself, I am gonna read up on it. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread and all that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashwincr Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) This is for Steve or whoever else is aware of the issues that I have had, this I think explains what my research over the last 8 hours have come to regarding my bricked phone.. I booted into clockwork recovery and mount /system and am trying to copy all the system files from your froyo release to /system. about half copies over and then I get no space left on device error. My /system partition looks like it is limited to 63.4MB and so all writes to the system partition are failing. fastboot fails, all updates using regular or clockwork recovery don't work right. Any pointers as to how this can be corrected? PS: I have tried to format /system from clockwork too, but still get the same error Edited October 8, 2010 by ashwincr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LorD CLockaN Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I think I'll wait few more days till this 2.2 works all out.. at least I hope so.. For those that are having problems of not finding all apps in market.. a possible sollution: Google market is available in my country, but it only shows free apps, I can't see apps that are on sale, because my country is not supported or something... So I installed MarketEnabler 3.0.8 and there chose another operator (tap and hold), and than go and try google market if apps are there!!! Now I can buy not only download free apps... I have 2.1, 2.2 haven't even tried.. This is just my oppinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StefanCh Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Mr. Hyde, It seems like the GPS, when enabled breaks the Data connection. As soon as something that uses it starts, the data connection disappears. Tried in Google Maps and Navigation. As soon as you exit the apps that use the GPS, and disable/enable data connection, all rosy again :) Let me know if i can provide with any logs for you to troubleshoot.

Guest Amdathlonuk Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 theirs tutorials to get unlocked streaksto 2.1 :) Agreed and it's VERY easy (I can't program for toffee), just follow the instructions and it takes minutes.

Guest adamwalker13 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Looks incredible, Nice work! My only problem is that I Cant get a network. When I goto search networks, I get 'ERROR SEARCHING FOR NETWORKS' and when I goto access point names I get 'PreloadNetwork Setting is still at work. Please wait.'
