I tried to root the streak but it was fail in the process, then I tried to root again, but no response, then …. my streak was brick, cannot boot help !
Same problem, went to Dell and downloaded the driver. Worked from there.
support.dell.com
The driver isn’t signed by Windows so you can’t just update it in the device manager, you have to manually download it and install it.
When I hit root, it works up until it says waiting for device and then says its not responding. Any help?
