OK, haven't try both Installing SDK and Benny's suggestion.

When I wanna access my SD Card (using Gallery, for photo) it says my SD is unmounted or not present (i believe coz of previous actions that mount/unmount it and turn the USB debugging on/off). I turned it off, took out SD, put it back, reboot, then i could browse photo on SD Card.

However, when i plug in my USB, it asked whether or not to Turn On USB Storage, chose Yes. But a few seconds later, a notification says Turn Off USB Storage, and i can't access SD Card again.

Is this a sign of ...er.... USB Driver error? Anyway, i can still browse files on my Streak's SD Card thru my computer though, with USB.

Did u use SuperOneClick software to root your phone d?

Hi StratOS,

actually was trying it yesterday, just not successful. I downloaded it, unzipped it to a folder on PC, connect my Streak (Enable USB Debugging, Unmount SD Card).
I run SuperOneClick.exe, it stopped at Waiting for Device...

So...didn't try again.

Cocoanut : I think you did not execute the Android SDk fully. After you download it, you have to run the SDK Manager. It will then extract the contents into a folder . Then you have to select the Android version you want and USB drivers . After selecting it, it will auto download it and installed in the PC

Hi Benny,
I installed again. Run the SDK package, installed everything inside, from 1.5 to 2.3 driver. Let me try SuperOneClick again.

By the way, i guess if it doesn't work again, I'll just flash to DJ Steve's ROM. That's better? Meaning I can root it easier?

sweat.gif shocking.gif icon_question.gif

have been busying with my Streak for the whole day, literally (almost), trying to go into DJ Steve's 1.5.1 from Official O2 2.2. Maybe almost bricked my Streak sad.gif just done a factory reset back to O2 2.2

Dare not to simply try again. Can someone shed some light, how to go from O2 Froyo to DJ Steve 1.5.1?

Thanks heaps notworthy.gif

Bro/Sis.. Take a deep breath, read it until you understand, i mean the guide or instruction. If not sure try ask around see what step you dont really get it. icon_rolleyes.gif

Upgrading from O2 2.1 (build 8105) to Stephen Hyde's 2.2

  1. download Stephen Hyde's 2.2 update zip from here.
  2. Rename update-new.zip to update.zip and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
  3. Download recovery.alt.zip from here.
  4. Move the recovery image into the same folder as the fastboot.exe.
  5. Put your Streak into fastboot mode.
  6. Open up command line type: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img
  7. Hold down both the volume buttons and type: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot in command line.
  8. In recovery select Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card using volume keys and camera button to select. In the ClockworkMod recovery menu select Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card and then Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip. Once it's all done select reboot system now.
  9. To enable data go Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks and check off the Data enabled button. Then select Access Point Names and manually add the apn info for your carrier.
  10. You should be all set up and ready to go with Froyo!

If you want to gain root use Universal Androot (download information seen above).

If you don't like the new screen density you can change it whenever you like by going into the /system folder and editing the build.prop file. Just change the line ro.sf.lcd_density=140 to ro.sf.lcd_density=160 to go back to default (changes will take effect after a reboot).

NOTE: There is a problem with the market where certain apps will not show up and to my knowledge we still don't have a fix for this.

*Copy pasta from MoDaCo.

cry.gif OK this time i cry of gladness...hehe
finally I'm on DJ Steve's 1.5.1!

I think i screwed up previously due to non-working ClockworkMod. I used 2.5.0.1 this time.

big huge thanks to StratOS, Irwan, Toughnut, Irwan for guiding me out of misery biggrin.gif

if mobile data is turned on, a device should switch to 3G/GPRS/EDGE or any mobile data whenever WiFi is not available or off. It works rather well normally.

But recently i encounter the problem of mobile data not turning on when i'm outside any wifi range. Even i turn on/off the wifi manually, mobile data on/off manually, wait for some minutes...it doesn't work. the only way i could get 3G again is to reboot the phone. Anyone has any idea why this happen? It doesn't happen every time though. just sometimes, quite often.

By the way, i'm using "Never" in WiFi Sleep Policy.

First priority is WiFi. You need not switch off WiFi if there is none. The phone will auto use its 3G connection.
What rom are you on ? This auto switching I noted is very good and immediate with Steven's 1.5.1 to 1.5.3. There were at times some slight issues with 1.4.6 where I had to reenable data ( just unselect and select ) at Settings/Wireless Network/Mobile networks. Not necessary to restart

hi benny, I'm using DJ Steve's 1.5.1 ROM.

I do not switch off my wifi, i have both wifi and 3G enabled, and when there's wifi it will use wifi signal. The switching was quite smooth normally. Just until recently i noticed when i'm outside with no wifi, sometimes (not always) it doesn't switch to 3G. So, i'll be with no wifi and 3G. It doesn't matter i manually toggle wifi and 3G, the 3G just wouldn't turn on until i restart it.

I just wonder would it be because i'm using "Never" under Wifi Sleep Policy setting, which i feel saves my battery?

When u said " its doesnt switch to 3G " , is it because the " H" logo beside the bar is gone ?
*
H sign? don't see any H sign. it doesn't switch means...there's not 3G sign on the top right of the screen (even though 3G has been enabled in the setting). All I had were mobile signal sign (the 4 short-to-long bars), battery sign and time. When 3G/GPRS/EDGE is on, i would see either "3G", "G" or "E".

by the way, someone just told me to Settings > Mobile networks > Network operators > Search Network, then the phone will be reminded to find for 3G and turn it on tongue.gif it works. But...still kinda annoying that sometimes it can't switch to 3G by itself.

"H" which stands for HSPA , the icon is disable in steve's built for 1.5.1 by default . U need 2 set it yourself by rooting your hp and going in to add a line in the build.prop ........ I got problems with tat built as well regarding the signal where it keep dropping all the time , after a 1.5.2 updates onwards , its fine 4 me ..... Suggest u update yours

OK, I shall check out 1.5.2 some time. By the way, what happen to the apps i installed if i flash new ROM again? Need to back them up?

My situation same as Benny, got mine with 1.6, so have to upgrade biggrin.gif
So far so good... other than this failed 3G switching...and one experience of phone turned itself off causing no alarm.

anyone has problem with using front-facing camera?
i realise i can't switch to use front-facing camera wen i want to take photos.
when i'm in camera, pressing Menu only showed me "Switch to Video" and "Gallery"

i'm using DJ Steve 1.5.1. I remember with original ATT 1.6 i could take photos with front cam.

btw, when i'm using Fring, i could use front cam to video call.
