Flashing Home and Menu Lights

hey, there is a known problem with flashing for anyone that has upgraded to dj_steves v1.2.0 & above espcially when using rebelsim as the baseband is not compatible yet. Other than that... your description sounds just like an app i got from the market called "streakLED" which flashes all different patterns on the buttons when you receive an sms text? My home button also stays lit when i have a message.

Not sure if this helps at all but i thought i would suggest it just incase

Sent from my Dell Streak

What suxs is that at leats urs turns on a the way my just got stuck on the Dell logo an never finishes powering on an I get the flashing buttons as well..

check the stickies thread and factory reset ur phone then use "UNIVERSAL ANDROOT" you wont get the flashing lights if you root with that app.

oh and it usually takes two or sometimes three tries to acquire root

I had this problem also. It is caused by upgrading to a new ROM which is meant for a certain baseband (00 for unlocked Streaks, 21 for UK (I believe) Streaks and 31 for US Streaks) without actually upgrading the baseband as well. For me, it has been a mystery to figure out what the sequence is to get from one baseband to another and one ROM to another. I had this problem flashing lights problem with one Streak when I tried the flash it from one ROM/baseband to another in order to get 2.2 flashed properly (You can't go from AT&T 1.6 directly to DJ Steves 1.5.1). The only thing that fixed it for me was using the QDL Tool. It took my dead Streak with flashing light with God-only-knows what baseband and ROM sequence I had tried to a fully functioning, unlocked Streak with AT&T official 2.2. From there, it was an incredibly simple flash to DJ Steve's 1.5.1 using fastboot. Then I was done. Give the QDL Tool a try if you want 2.2 and it very well might take your phone from dead and worthless to something worth carrying around in your pocket.

yeah the qdl tool is by far the most simple way to get 2.2 on you streak, which you can root without any worries. i dont think theres actually a reason to still be on 1.6.
