ok, i don't know much about android, have only ever used the basic things, never got into the depths of it...got sent a replacement streak by dell because my old screen had broke, when i received it, it didn't have marketplace on it, which obviously annoyed me, complained again, and they issued yet another new one, same problems..

the device details - was exactly the same on both...

Android Version 2.2.2

Baseband version GAUSB1A134700-EU

Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf

OEM Version GAUSB1A134700

Build Number 15274

To cut a long story short, i have to send one of them back next week, and, stupidly, decided to listen to a friend who thinks he knows everything about everything...

He recommended i download a programme called r1-3883-streak-superboot, and Fastboot (I think it's called) with it, then install the o2 version of android 2.2.

I did the first bit of this on the phone i will be keeping, and now the phone doesn't seem to want to work. - the dell splash screen just stays on screen, and nothing loads up - it was present for 45 minutes before i pulled the battery out (repeated 4 times over)

Please please please can somebody help me fix this, and get it so i can get my phone working again, and so i have android marketplace.

As you can guess, i am not technically minded in the slightest, so if you are able to help, can you let me know in laymans terms please, so i am able to do this!

thank you all, in advance

It would be best if u can hop into the irc channel

#dellstreak

However few things u can try.

Shut down phone

Press and hold both the volume butttons

Press and release the power button.

YOu will come to recovery screen with 3 options

First try - Do a factory reset .

If that does not work try

select the option for update.pkg

i have tried these options, and it still just freezes onb the splash screen, or won't install on the update.pkg.

Ha, Dell is sometimes stupid. Just tell them that your phone wont boot up and they will issue you a new phone.
