Guest paullong Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Hi all, I have a big problem. Came home tonight and wi-fi was saying "error" so I thought I'd reboot. Since then, the boot is just looping. I only get to the static Dell logo (with the three side lights) for a while, the screen goes black and the process starts again. I've tried reflashing the rom (various versions), factory resets (a number of times) and I'm really stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated cos I'm stuck! Thanks in advance! Paul btw - I was running Stephen's excelent 1.5.1 rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paullong Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Any ideas anyone? I'm just hoping it isn't a h/w error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paullong Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Update for anyone with similar issues: Dell support were really hepful and I'm sending off to them today. It's likely a hardware issue. They're going to fix or replace it. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timbomfg Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Was this after an upgrade to O2's 2.2 rom by any chance? My O2 Streak has been working happily for a few hours, and now just sits on the Dell screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Wifi error, rebooted and it never came back. Also, mine boots for a few seconds and then powers down and starts again. Have a search on this forum for "Stuck on Dell screen", there's lots of help available. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paullong Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) OK, so update in case anyone is interested. My phone is still with me, Dell can't get UPS to pick it up for some reason. They say it's going to take 15-30 WORKING DAYS to fix or replace so I'll be without my Streak for at least three weeks! But the big news is, I followed a set of instructions from a thread that T_R_I_S started and found that the internal SD card is faulty and after research found it is a common problem with a batch of Streaks that shipped direct from DELL between August and December once they've been upgraded to 2.2. So there you go, timbomfg, you may have been right! Edited December 29, 2010 by paullong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pceasar Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Was your dell out of warranty? I've heard great stories of dell shipping units in advance and then just waiting on youre return. Tell me they don't just leave you stuck on your own Edited December 29, 2010 by Pceasar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paullong Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Pceasar, No - They're refusing to send one out. They say it's because I'm in the UK. I will keep pushing though. It broke 10 days ago and they still haven't picked it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It broke 10 days ago and they still haven't picked it up! They were supposed to pick mine up last week(after i 'bricked' it flashing a rom), still havent heard anything. They also told me that they would only repair the streak, because I was in the UK. If I had been in the U.S., they would replace it. Now I've managed to fix the streak, am debating whether to still let them collect it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest paullong Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wgizmo, Go into Fastboot mode and hit the MMI-BB button. The Streak goes through a lot of tests. Mine failed on the Internal SD card test. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn your Streak off and turn it on again but once the side lights come on, take your finger off the power button and press the camera button until the screen goes white. Then hit the MMI-BB button. This may (but I doubt it!) fix the "random reboots" problem you have. I'd search elsewhere as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
