bought a phone off ebay (eris)
how do i know if its running 2.1leak or 2.1 root?
Check the bootloader version. 1.46 or 1.47 and it would be the OTA; 1.49 and it's a leak.
[Edit: Hold volume down and the power button when you power it on to check.]
it says 1.47. does this mean i can downgrade to 1.5 using tutorial
I'm not an expert at this, but i do know (i think) two things. One, hboot V 1.47 can be rolled back to 1.5 via that tutorial. Two, you can install the original root rom, as it works with the OTA update, directly to the current version... (I think)
i have been trying to flash amon recovery image so i can do the 1.5 downgrade tutorial but it doesnt seem to work
Try installing the root pb00img file, and see what happens, as it seems the phone has the OTA update, and you have to have root to flash the recovery image... (I believe)
If you are trying to root, you can do so directly from the ota.
in terms of rooting android 1.5 and 2.1 are pretty much the same.
you can root using both
you can flash the same roms on both
you can downgrade back to 1.5 once you root on both
etc

I installed the root pb00img file and worked fine then downgraded to 1.5 using the tutorial, THANKS!
Ok so I have been reading all over this forum, and yes I'm a noob to this. Now here is what is going on. I just purchased an Dell streak that came rooted and updated with a custom rom of 2.2. Now what I'm trying to do is just wipe the phone start on a clean slate and upgrade to and official 2.2, but because the phone has the clockwork recovery and is on a custom firmware. I just can't go to the Dell site and update. It allows me to download but goes no where after that. Now I'm an iPhone user so when I jailbreak I can just restore and start over. On here I'm reading you need the 309 recovery, fastboot, downgrade and many other things. Most people will say you have what your looking for in your post but If so I'm not getting it. If I don't know what firmware was prior to the 2.2 how do I know what to downgrade to. Or can I just take off clockwork and will it allow me to update the phone through dells site. Can there be a way just go update to official and overwrite what ever is on this phone? So could someone shed some light on this situation...
Search the forum for 309 recovery Ive posted it a couple of times so its on here then put the 318 update on SD card and go into recovery and flash the file
The update file will only flash if you have the correct recovery and the recovery for the latest from dell update 318 is recovery 309
Hope that helps
ThankS I'll see if I can figure this out
im trying everything and cannot figure out how to fastboot. I got it in fastboot mode but now says please insert disc that came with your android 1.0 where do i get this!!
Download the pdf in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776883
It has the link for the drivers you need inside it
So I just tried updating the GT540 using LG Updater and it said it finished successfully but now the phone just boots to a dim black screen. Any help? I dunno what to do.
you update directly from android 1.6 to android 2.1 with fastboot?
From 1.6 -> 2.1 using the LG Updater program. I was able to get it back to work using KDZ flasher and flashed a 2.1 kdz file.
Hi people,
Got my dell streak today and i already cannot use it due to bad flashing I guess. I had v347 unlocked version and tried to flash 351 by using the sd card method -->renaming the 351 pkg to update.pkg. The installation process went ok but after the phone reboots, I am stuck at the Dell Logo for more than 15min.
Tried a factory reset but to avail. Can anyone please help me...I can't believe I might have bricked the D.Streak in less than 24hrs!! Help!!!!!
Edit : I think I did a dumb thing....my streak is dead now...won't even start....I use fastboot and flash the img and mbn files in the 351 section (http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/351/) and now the phone won't even start. No response...bricked...I've read that there is an internal storage in the phone, will it be possible for someone to back up their storage and if I disassemble my streak and copy the contents, will this unbricked my phone?
351 requires the 351 Recovery File
you will need to flash the 351 recovery file in order to let the upgrade package work.

Thanks for the tips...I've already tried it using fastboot but I am still stuck on the Dell Logo. Any other suggestions?

I didn't. The 2 times the 351 update worked on my phone was when I copied it to the SD card and used a file explorer to run the package and update. The 1 time I flashed the 351 recovery is the time my phone was bricked.
Do yourself a favor and copy the 351 update to the sd card and update from there.

Yeah, call dell or whoever you got it from and request a new phone due to thir update breaking your phone. That's what I had to do after QDL tool and nothing else worked.

Newer QDL? What version(s) do you have? I've ran it many times and the process itself is always a success but I could never pass the dell logo.
I had the same issue and just went to streakdroid 1.9 any luck you might have let me know.
My first 4 flashes stuck at dell logo. The 5th time was successful

in this link there are two versions of QDL tools one which is around 40 mb(StreakFlash) and larger one(repairtool) which is around 190 mb. i initially used the smaller qdl tool to get the boot image fixed and later used the newer one to load 318 rom on to it. then i installed the 351 rom.
i details can be followed from this thread

in the middle of page 2 he fixes the issue saying "Eureka" and explains how he did it. there is PDF you can follow too which is i one of the links he provided.
Hope this helps. let me know if you have any issues.
Had same issue...
Flashed the 351 amss and dsp1
then flashed streakmod recovery
Then flashes 351 zip
After install complete I pulled battery in streakmod and then put it back in.. then it worked.
There is an issue with the 347 stock units. After flash or upgrade package the sd card read dies until you battery pull. You don't do a battery pull it will never work

Do you also have a 347 stock Streak?
Flashed the amss and dsp1, but when trying to flash in streakmod recovery, I am getting these errors:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)
Installation aborted.
What went wrong? Any ideas?

why you trying to flash streakmod recovery as an update.zip?
get the streakmod recovery file and flash it with fastboot
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery streakmod_recovery_file_name.img
replace "streakmod_recovery_file_name.img" with whatever you have the recovery named as. (could be recovery.img or whatever you renamed it to) and make sure your in the correct directory in your command prompt/terminal
Hey good news...finally being able to flash to 351-345-318 using only the update.zip found at http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/
Streak fully restarts and is fully functional....But as soon as I try to use a recovery.img to update to an official pkg from Dell. My Streak just froze at the logo screen.
My question is what is the difference between the update.zip at streakdroid's website and the official pkg? Why I cannot install any official pkg while the update.zip works? Any ideas anyone?
I think I did a dumb thing....my streak is dead now...won't even start....I use fastboot and flash the img and mbn files in the 351 section (http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/351/) and now the phone won't even start.

try this, first remove the battery and put it back. now holding volume up button power up the phone, even though its in blank screen connect it to the computer after 5 seconds, see if windows finds a device and tries to install a driver. if you can see this then your phone is not bricked. you can still try to recover it.
windows would not recognize it....I can't even charge the battery when I plug into the charger...no response. This happens when I flashed the files DT.img,boot.img,osbl.mb & so on, which are found in the link I wrote above.

As your phone is gen1 you can install only gen1 roms. If you install gen2 roms you will have bootloop problems. Now download a gen1 rom and go to recovery, wipe everything and flash it.
The cm7 you installed is gen2. So to use it, you need to convert your phone from gen1 to gen2.

Doesn't the XCD usually come with Froyo and Gen 2 though?
Did you verify it was a Gen 1 phone with the Mr Pigfish app? If not verify it.
Also, CM 7.0 is a Gen 1 ROM IIRC. When you go into the bootloader mode it's supposed be on that Dell screen.
Try flash the appropriate recovery using Fastboot, see method 2 here.
It might take 24 hours for someone to reply to you so be patient next time.
No need for Pigfish, Blade Buddy which you have will tell you which Gen. (Blade Version button)
Also, you can use ROM Manager to flash latest ClockworkMod Recovery.......and reboot into Recovery
Also, you can use Quick Boot to get into Recovery, or Bootloader.
BTW, looking at this indicates Froyo 2.2, and this indicates Gen 2....
but as you say upgrade from 2.1, perhaps you have Gen 1??
yes buddy i've gen1 phone...confirmed by Mr. PigFish
