DELL STREAK Froyo Build Beta - Version 1.2.0 Released

[Guest mmp669]

Just installed 1.2 nobb version. What can I say, it's great.

All my apps worked perfectly, Gmail setup fine, market works fine, rotation works fine (haven't tried it with youtube yet).

Dell stage UI is very nice, personally I like it a lot better than the other launchers. And it's very fast indeed, at least it's not slower than ADW with 1.11.

Keep up the great work.

At last, I didn't do any tweaking or what so ever, just installed 1.2 on top of 1.1.1 and it's all good.

I know I am going to get a lot of comments on this one but would it be possible to be more explicit to WHERE is the dowload link for the ROM?

I see the Streakdroid site link which has a dowload section and an update option.

Is that it? I am worried as it does not have any indication of the ROM version number...

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

EDIT: Ok, Found it at the bottom of the first post... Dooooh.

Guys, I think I found the cause of the data partition not getting wiped with factory reset. Some of us have the old clockwork mod for 1.6 still installed (symptoms are constantly flashing lights and no adb shell in recovery). what you need to do is install the koush's 2.1 clockwork repack found in this thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-str...rboot-recovery/

Here's how I got it to work.

1. Flash that recovery in fastboot

2. Reboot into recovery and select second option for clockwork and select partitions menu

3. select format and confirm it for boot, system, data, cache, and sd-ext.

4. go back into main menu and select install zip from sd and install the 1.2.0 release

5. just to be safe, return to main menu and wipe data/factory reset and reboot

6. then boot into recovery one more time, this time no clockwork. select 1 factory reset.

7. after that's said and done, it should take no more than 2-3 mins for boot into home.

.

does this work?

im on v1.2.0 now. but i cant seem to install more apps. apk files i have on sdcard wont install. it keeps saying could not be installed. free up some space and try again. i have only installed 2 apps from the market since upgrading.

Hi guys, the two fixes above havent worked for me. Im stuck on the Dell Screen.

(thanks to all the wonderful help on here i had been running v1.0 from the day it was released)

when i open ADB Shell i get the following error

adb Server is out of date. Killing....

*daemon has started successfully

error: device not found

then adb shell only returns error:device not found

I have to redo the whole update to get back to the adb server is out of date thing and then subsequently repeating the error: device not found

adb says it is version 1.0.25, oh and i have an australian streak, with updated baseband and went the updated rom route

EDIT 1, ive cancelled adb in task manager and i can get back to the 'server out of date command' again - ADB is showing in device manager as Android composited ADB device

EDIT 2 switched to an XP netbook and i get

* daemon not running. starting it now

* daemon started successfully

error: device not found

then it just keeps saying error: device not found with any adb command until i kill the app in task manager

hey steve, ne way to get rid of the flashing leds after flashing 1.2 nobb? rest everything worked perfectly, but gt really annoyed by the flashing leds so switched bak to 1.1.1. thanks neway. u r doing a great job. keep it up. cheers.

[Guest sukicat]

After spending quite a few hours last night installing the new update

I finally gave up (locked on the Dell Screen) and put my Streak back to 2.1, the idea was to wait

until some of the problems were sorted Today and then put 1.1.1 and finally the 1.2.0

but going back to 2.1 (it was the easiest to do) is like going back to a old friend the Keyboard is great the video is 720p and saves in HD

the Battery is brilliant the orientation works has it should, so I might wait for the official update and see what that is like

but I probably wont has I dont like giving up and this new update is sure changeling.

i had the error about busybox_1P8P1: not found when i tried adb shell command in the clockwork recovery menu. I left the cable connected and let it boot up as steve mentioned before adb should be usable even if its hanging at the logo. so i just tried the adb shell early in the boot up and it dropped me into the shell fine and the busybox command went it ok too.

only then did i get to wipe the data and have it boot up fine. I thought my own flash went smooth first time but had probs with apps so i started again. but getting the out of space error grrrr! ive chmod the data folder to no avail and logcat tells me the fapk has a mismatched uid.

Yup same here out of space error. Can't even install angry birds :) ......I tried installing it and downloads fine but when it trys to install it it reboots ......damn. oh well. will wait for an update.

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

ok folks for those of you having app problems, try going BACK the 1.1.1 - dont downgrade baseband just flash back in clockwork

wipe totoally using dell factory reset & clockwoerk partitions menu to wipe data/cache/system

then flash 1.2.0 and see if it boots, theirs something not being wiped properly causing this issue as proved by other users who have successfully flashed

[Guest petesbodyparts]

Same here. Get to a certain point, say 6 apps and I'm now (supposedly) out of space.

Just to add something! Because of an unknown reason after new baseband and 1.2.0 are in place neither CWR nor Dell's recovery do anything to the partitions!!!

I personally formatted every partition with CWR and then started Dell's one! Then oh miracle!!! 1.2.0 booted again with all of my setting intact!! even my alarm was there! And this after the format!

I'm back to 1.1.1 with the old baseband for now!

aaw nuts, my first flash went fine i only got this apps prob when i put back in my original sd card that had all my apps and backups on it. i always update using a blank one just to be safe! my /data/system folder has a uiderror file listing the mismatches weird thing was that small apps went on fine but larger apps gave the out of space error.

back to 1.1.1 then hope this does it!

[Guest RedSlug]

Kind of screwed up and installed the update file before the baseband. But managed to install that this morning and it's working I think.

market working for updates and new installs.

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

unlike the older android devices the order that you install the update + baseband doesn matter really. whereas older devices (g1/magic) you could brick them by installing things the wrong way

Hi Stephen, good Job. I had an issue: after update 1.2, the led don't stop flashing every 10 seconds. Please fix that. Thank you.

[Guest amccox]

any suggestions for those that get error:device not recognised when doing adb shell - or is go back to earlier version and wait?

should have said no joy from clockwork mod, just device not found

How to for install a NEW BASEBAND rom - :

1. Download the Newbb update.zip and the amss.mbn file first of all - and copy the zip to your sd card

2. Drop your streak into fastboot mode and run the command below to flash the new baseband: more info:-

Easy Guide to installing a New Baseband useing Windows

Go to the C: drive and make a new Folder called Fastboot

go to the folder where you have the Clockwork files and copy (or Drag and drop)

all the files into the new Fastboot Directory then copy the Amss.mbn that you have download into this Directory:

Put your Streak in Fastboot

Press the Start button on your computer and in the Search programs and files box type "cmd"

at the top of the window press on the cmd icon and it should open a Black cmd window

with a flashing prompt type CD\fastboot and then :-

Fastboot-windows -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn (press return)

when that is finished type in the command box

fastboot-windows -i 0x413c reboot

hold down the two volume keys on the Streak and press return on the computer

That will boot into recovery mode and select option 2 that will get you into Clockwork

Select flash zip from sd

choose select zip from sd and find the update-1.2.0-newbb.zip and flash it

choose reboot option and hold both volume keys again

choose factory reset from recovery menu and then wait while device boots - may take upto 10 mins

And the best of luck !!

The newest version of the adb.exe is 1.0.26.

You can get it under \tools from the android sdk together with the 2 dll's.

In Clockwork 2.5.0.1 the adb-version is 1.0.25.

You MUST NOT be in Fast boot mode.

That was my error for nearly 5 hours.^^

Just start the phone with the cable plugged in.

Then open a commandline in Windows and navigate to the adb.exe.

Then type "adb shell".

If you get this prompt "#" you succeeded.

@sukicat

Most of the people get to that point.

After that the problems start.

You get an endless boot loop because factory reset doesnt work properly.

To fix that you have to go to the adb shell and put in the busybox command to delete the files under /data.

If you solve these 2 problems you can boot Android.

But then a lot of people get problems installing apps and get forced closes on most of the apps.

Steve's solution for that didnt work for me.

Wow, thank you!

The issue of flashing LEDS fixed thanks to your guide for update the baseband.

Now, my streak works incredible fine!!!

Do you guys know how to switch the launcher? I tried the dell one but didn't like it. Thanks.

Try everything am out off ideas. Really want this build to work it was looking gd for a while
