Dell Streak is one of the most horribly documented Android devices out there. It takes hours to get it right if you aren’t up to par with the ‘Streak hacking’ scene.
Following are the requirements (Please don’t proceed prior to meeting the following criteria):
- Dell Streak should be rooted
- Dell Streak should be at Android 2.1 [Tried this on AT&T Streak]
Step by step :
- Download all the files required and extract the zip file to your desktop (you will now have Streak_iLikeMyGPhone folder)
- Put your Dell Streak in Fastboot mode by :
- Disconnect the Dell Streak from your computer if already plugged in.
- Turn your Dell Streak off [power off]
- Replace the battery on your Dell Streak
- Hold the camera button and push the power button till you see the screen illuminate. Now let go the power button.
- Tap ‘Fastboot’ on top right corner and wait for few seconds till you see ‘Fastboot Mode’ on the bottom right corner.
- Now plug the Dell Streak to your computer [USB Cable] and follow the necessary steps depending on the type of computer you have!
- Windows computer
- Double click the recovery batch-file from the folder (Streak_iLikeMyGPhone) we downloaded initially [install-recovery-windows.bat]
- Macintosh [Macs]
- Launch ‘Terminal’ and type ‘cd’ followed by a space. Now drag and drop the folder (that we extracted to the desktop initially) to the terminal [you can also 'change directory (cd)' to the 'Streak_iLikeMyGPhone' folder on desktop.
- Now type this ./install-recovery-mac.sh and wait for your Streak to reboot!
- Linux box
- Change directory (cd)' to the 'Streak_iLikeMyGPhone' folder.
- Now type this ./install-recovery-linux.sh and wait for your Streak to reboot!
You should now have ClockworkMod Recovery [2.5.0.1] installed!
