[Q] Command prompts in fastboot mode

---

This may be a noob problem on my part but I have been having problems navigating fastboot through command prompt. I have been able to successfully install fastboot on my laptop and have no problem getting my streak to go into fastboot mode, but command prompt doesn't recognize my commands when I type "fastboot" after getting prompt to "c:\streak>". I have followed the guide "what you need to know about the dell streak" to the letter but no luck. Help please

You can't install fastboot you need open the command prompt and navgivate to where u have the files extracted.

For example for me I extracted repaire tool in c:/streakrepair

So I do

Cd ..
Cd ..
Cd ..
Cd streakrepair

Then u can will the fastboot commands make sure that where the fastboot file is.

Thanks. I thought as much it was a noob error on my part

Side question: I am trying to root my device using universal androot but am unable to install it to my device per security settings that prevent non-market app installation. I know I need to disable this srttinh but don't know how to. Please help once more

I don't see "unknown source" in my settings. When I go to settings>applications...I only see "Manage applications and development". So far I haven't found it anywhere...

not really sure then, sorry, are you sure your running android? lol

Thats overcomplicating things.

Cd \streakrepair

Will do the same job.

I'd post the link but can't search streaksmart for how to sideload apps without adb

This should help you out on how to get unkown sources to appear.

So I should just use this command in fastboot and it will give me the option to disable this security setting?
