I have researched and read everything I can find.I have tried to root it four ways and it will not root,it is a 001dl running 2.2.2,maybe I am doing something wrong.I dont know,I tried the super user update and when I click update from sd card it gives me a dell error message saying it has to be a dell update from the card.I am new to rooting but I have been reading and trying different things.I can not find much on this softbank version of the streak. Also thanks to anybody who helps me and just doesnt call me a idiot and tell me to read or whatever,I have read so much my eyes hurt.

Hey all, this is a great forum so ive decided its the best 1 to post about my issue too: ive got my phone locked, now ive paid for it to be unlocked and i think its only fair that i can be able to remove the software that comes with the phone from the phone carrier which i dont need: like uno trial, guitar hero trial etc...
So ive heard that i need to root my phone but i am totally unexperient at this as ive never done it before and never had an android phone before so please could someone give me a full step by step guide of what i need to do to root my xperia x10 mini pro android 2.1 update 1? its a great deal for me as not only it should help me remove useless apps that keep installing themselves once i restart the phone but it also helps me install apps on the SD card rather than on the limited 128mb phone internal memory.
Thanks very much in advance!
hey im sorry ive forgot to mention
im running windows xp pro sp3 all updates, if you need to know anything else please tell me what and ill specify it
No one willing to show me a complete guide for this? :\ all guides ive seen so far do not mention "basic steps" which i cant actually guess them if i havent done them before no? ive heard something about installing some drivers and adb but ive got no clue wth they mean with that, any help?
Thanks in Advance!
Every phone is different try going to Google or the fourms search typing in your phones make and model and the word root or how to to root "your phone" good luck

thats what ive been doing but many ppl were complaining that they were not complete and did not explain what adb meant or what did they mean that u had to install the drivers, all ive seen was replies like "oh how are u trying to root your phone without knowing what a simple thing like adb means" and not helpfull crap like that...
Well thx anyways i supose im gonna keep looking :\

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
neither can I. Same problem. Tried everything you did and more.
I thought the SuperClick Final would save me but NO ....
It is a great Phone/Tablet. It's no good to me if I can't be free with it.
Hi I'm not sure if you have rooted your dell already at this point, but I was able to root mine with superoneclick. However, before doing that you might need to download the latest dell streak 5 drivers from dell. Mine kept looping, too, before I installed the latest drivers. Try it and you may just have luck rooting. Good luck!
Check for "gingerbreak" it will root ur streak in 2 min. Very simple and easy.

Hi.! all friends i would like to know something though i'm new Android ...and just got New Dell streak 5 android 2.22 froyo(NO CONTRACT) .would like know few queries
1) what is Rooting & i how safe and stable it is .after rooting..if i stick to my official-rom ?
2)And what is the best way to Root Dell streak Devises .?
3) if i Unroot my Devise after Rooting will it Void my warranty.???
Cheers and thanx for this Lovely Website dear Admin
1) Nothing will change to the Rom, but you'll be able to flash a new one once you have root (if you like). And as long as the tool or App you use is save, nothing will happen to the phone
3) Depends on the un-rooting procedure and the policy of DELL. I guess, the manufacturer could trace a root even if you try to hide, that the phone was once rooted or flash the stock rom again. However, the question is, will DELL wan't to do that? It needs time and I guess if you'd send it in, they'll just set it to stock to start working on problems...
what Rooting software should i use to root my dell streak 5 and later to unroot too which can do both ...good way .?
try superoneclick or z4root, they can root and unroot your phone with just one click.
but if you feel your current device is good enough for you, then feel free to keep it that way
Thanx a tone but hear that z4root gives problem when i unroot my devise ....any tips which version will work for me of superoneclick.? lill help would be nice ..
I would so root it

hanx a tone but hear that z4root gives problem when i unroot my devise ....any tips which version will work for me of superoneclick.? lill help would be nice ..
I am totally new to this, I had a guy root and install honeycomb on my streak 7, I hate it and just want to go back to a stock rom. I have looked all over the forums about NVFlash and stuff but I can not get it to work for me, I must be doing it wrong, so I was wondering if anyone has a link to a youtube vid for flashing the Dell Streak 7, I looked but didnt find anything helpful. Any help would be awsome because I am ready to throw this thing through the wall, nothing but errors lol.
If you haven't already, I would try following the instructions in this thread:

Hi, this is my first android phone (Dell Venue). I got it about 2 weeks ago, and have been trying to root it since. I have tried z4, superoneclick several versions new and old, and universal androot 1.6.1. Not sure if any of those shouldn't be used on this phone but am completely new and I have no idea about the terms being used or anything for that matter. I have tried turning off my phone and turning it on for superoneclick. I have tried to toggle dev access. None seem to work. The closest i got was with the 2.1.1 superoneclick and trying to turn it back on when it says, "waiting for device", this goes all the way to step 5 and then it errors out saying "remounting/system with read-write access...error: closed. FAILED".
I have 2.2.2 froyo on it and not sure if you require any further information. I would really like to root this phone, if someone can help me with pictures or a video on how i can do this or tell me what it is i'm doing wrong, it would be much appreciated. I have tried this on windows 7 64bit, windows XP pro, windows xp, and windows 32bit.
Please can someone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks,
Vai
Have you googled?? I did that for you and found this and this
Yes lol, i have googled, and i have no only followed that but several other forums and ways. I have also followed the thread on this forum as well. For some reason it just will not work and mind you i have 3 of these dell venue phones that i have been trying to root.
