The Dell Streak is a 2010 Android OS 1.6 smartphone powered by the Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon S1 with 512MB and 16GB internal storage. It features a 5.0", TFT, 480.0x800.0 display and is available in Black, Red, white.

The Streak is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 1530 mAh battery, a 5 MP, 480p@20fps; 720p (via SW update) main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 220 g.

3

If still black: hold Power + Volume Down for 10 seconds

4

Try holding Power + Volume Up to enter Recovery Mode

5

In Recovery: select 'Reboot system now'

6

If Recovery loads: wipe cache partition then reboot

7

Last resort: factory reset from Recovery — erases all data
