DELL STREAK Froyo Build Beta - Version 1.2.0 Released

[Guest send2toonie]

I can confirm that if you are stuck on the Dell logo then this procedure does work - thank you Steve

ok go into adb shell then run the following commands CAREFULLY

cd /data

busybox_1P8P1 rm -rf *

then run ls and if it returns anything except lost+found run rm -r <name> where <name> is the folder name you see.

then run reboot and wait

and that if you have troubles installing apps from the Market then the following commands resolved my issues.

adb shell

chmod 777 /data/*

Thank for the help with installing apps from the Market!

[Guest tonymenocal]

ok i understand now. adb'ing while in clockwork will not work properly.

adb while boot logo is stuck and ive managed to ls /data and delete via busybox command. we'll see if it boots now tho...

busybox? can someone forward me the commands for this for windows??

[Guest jnovello]

Does busybox work for windows? as I am unfamiliar with it. From your instructions, I can see your using linux I dont have my linux system up and running, and setting up a vm would be a hassle. Does anyone have a fix for win? Man I feel daft :)

Those commands do work for windows. I had the same problem. I ran the commands not even erasing any folders, and one factory reset later I was running. However, chmod 777 /data/* is not helping me to install apps.

Thanks for all the great work Steve!!

I just installed V1.2 and is working great. I am however having trouble installing some of my purchased apps. They download fine but it comes back install unsuccessful. Any ideas of what the issue is?

Has anyone else had any troubles?

[Guest tonymenocal]

i have busybox however it is not a exe. such i label it as such. doing so, cmd responds that the file is too big for memory. I take it, that this might need to be pushed from adb? any advice folks.

[Guest foxhoundep3]

Steve, on your instructions you forgot to mention to place the AMSS.MBN file in the same folder as Fastboot, not everyone knows this :)

[Guest springah]

busybox? can someone forward me the commands for this for windows??

yeah its the same command. if it doesnt work, reboot the streak and try again.

[Guest tonymenocal]

ok, so I have busy box, but it has no extension. What does one do with this from cmd? I have it in my fastboot folder. Do I run commands while in fastboot mode.. So I guess im not in adb shell. I run adb.exe? then commands?

cd /data

busybox_1P8P1 rm -rf **these return unknown commands.. I truly am missing something here

* adb push C:\busybox /data/local/busybox this returned another list of adb commands = fail.

hey guys just installed 1.2.0 and far is is working perfect .i did get stuck on the dell logo but that was fixed using adb.exe . after loading added all my email account and twitter and face book . i turned on the wifi hotspot and tested it with my ipad it works perfect i have the best of both worlds .

[Guest tonymenocal]

hmmm excuse my stupidity, but how does one use adb.exe in conjunction with busybox? It must be pushed correct? I have busy box however it has no extension which probably doesnt matter if adb is able to use this somehow.. I cant figure out the correct syntax..

I am truly sorry if my stupidity is annoying you at this point :)

*Note: adb push c:\SDK_15\tools\busybox returns adb commands and no progress*

[Guest jnovello]

Got my issue, not sure which one did it but here's what I did:

I rebooted my Linux box

Moved the CWR from my USB mass storage where it lived to the systems main drive

Ran as root ./fastboot-linux -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

All was well after that.

Great job Steve! (as always... :) )

Did you do this after you booted into the rom? Or were you just not able to change the baseband from the beginning? If I could just get my apps to install I would be happy.

I can't even know haow to get into that adb shell thing.

Can anyone help me PLEASE????????????????

[Guest tonymenocal]

I have adb, and attempting to execute it via cmd from the SDK folder with busybox in directory tree. ADB push, and similar attempts have no result for me.

adb install c:\SDK_15\tools\busybox = error: device not found

adb shell <enter>

then you should get the # prompt...now youre in the shell

[Guest gnasher666]

busybox is a command on the Streak which you use from a Windows command prompt:

So the procedure to resolve the stuck on Dell logo is.

1) With the Dell logo on the Streak wait for 10 plus minutes to see if it progresses

2) Still with the Dell logo on the Streak plug in the USB cable and wait a minute for Windows to sort itself out

3) Open a command prompt in windows and change to the directory you have ADB.exe installed (on my setup it's cd\androidsdk\tools)

4) type adb shell and press Return

5) you should now see a # prompt in the windows command prompt where you enter commands that run on the Streak

6) type cd /data and press Return

7) type busybox_1P8P1 rm -rf * and press Return

8) at this point you may receive a message stating directory not empty if you do follow step 8a, otherwise skip to step 9

8a) type rm -r [directory name from error message in step 8]

9) type exit and press Return, this should return you to the standard windows command prompt

10) type adb reboot and press Return

Hopefully within the next 5 - 10 minutes your Streak should have booted up properly

If you have problems installing applications from the Market (or other places then try the following)

1) Open a command prompt in windows and change to the directory you have ADB.exe installed (on my setup it's cd\androidsdk\tools)

2) type adb shell and press Return

3) type chmod 777 /data/* and press Return

4) (not sure if this is required) type chmod 777 /data and Press Return

These were the steps I followed to get a fully working 1.2.0 build.

Thank you Steve for all your hard work - Still looking forward to a Sense build :)

sorry guys but if you dont know how to use ADB or Fastboot you shouldnt be here. its fine when you're not sure or just being silly and forgot - but not knowing anything about how adb and fastboot work then coming here to complain is a waste of time.

sorry, just get annoyed with the flood of totally clueless questions. not being a prick, just saying.

for the people that say the new update is working, are you able to install from an apk

[Guest cowballz]

Is multi touch now working properly on the emulators with new rom ? I really miss the run and jump in super mario :) :) :(

[Guest markalanlewis]

Ok. I followed the instructions to use the ADB Shell command and got the phone to boot. Now I keep getting android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Thoughts on what to do next?

[Guest springah]

ive got the same issue. grr.

[Guest Cue_32]

chmod 777 /data/*

didnt fix my market install or .apk installs either :(h

[Guest tonymenocal]

Ok guys thank you!!! I followed through, and am UP AND RUNNING .. It never dawned on me that the adb.exe is actually a shell, which explains the linux syntax...(saw the EXE and confused myself) I feel really really stupid now. As for the gentleman screaming for help, I feel your pain, but persistance, patience, and most importantly reading, will help you along.. For those who have tolerated me, I really appreciate it.. My streak is running great, and I will be studying more to prevent this from happening again.

chmod 777 /data/*

didnt fix my market install or .apk installs either :(h

strangely I was able to download AdFree after the permissions settings (chmod 777 etc) some apps but others work. (I've currently got the sdcard unmounted)

Facebook update ok

Gmail update ok

Launcher Pro update ok

Root Explorer not ok

Root Explorer worked this time - how bizzare
