Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me wat does this update (6267) bring to the dell streak? I am still on androïd 1.6 and rather prefer to wait for an official release of 2.1 or 2.2 for my unlocked devise; If anyone has an answer concerning this 6267 update for the unlocked devise, please let me know.

Hi Everyone,
I have an HTC Desire 8182 running Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC 1. Absolutely love the phone. However, I just ordered a Dell Streak direct from Dell (but locked to Rogers - Canada). Unfortunately, this Streak will be stuck at 1.6, and I really would like to get Dell's new release of 2.2 since the reviews coming in are so good.
I would like to stick to Dell's release of 2.2 since everything will be guaranteed ( or at least almost guaranteed ) to work, instead of a custom ROM. However, as I understand it - Dell's release is only available OTA.
My question is - is there any way I can download and install Dell's 2.2 manually in Canada? I have Googled for a solution, but it seems that since 2.2 has been released in the US - there aren't too many people asking about this.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks

look in the general section of this forum, there are instructions on how to install the official dell 2.2 on any streak.
Not Android Development Please Post in the correct forum

Hi, thanks for the reply. I went through one of the stickies in this forum that directed me to go to MoDaCo. At MoDaCo I found this thread :
android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/323902/official-dell-streak-rom-overview/
It basically has links to different .pkg files that are hosted on Dell's Update Server.
Two questions:
1.I thought Dells Update Server wouldn't allow you to download the update unless you used their Desktop program. Or can I just download it regardless?
2.Is it as easy as flashing the .pkg file?
Help please
Anybody here living in Toronto, Canada that really knows the ways of ROM upgrading for the Dell Streak. If you could help me install the official 2.2 update from Dell, I will be more than happy to give you a cash donation in exchange for ROM upgrading service for my Unlock Beta Dell Streak with a baseband of GAUB1A120521-US and currently running on DJSteve's 2.2 version1
We can meet up at malls like Eaton Centre or Yorkdale Mall or coffee shops at Toronto area for you to do the ROM updating on my streak
Please pm me your number, so we can set up the meet up as soon as possible.
Thanks.

I also have a streak which started life with the EU 6267 and I sm now on the 12332 build. I wss previusly on the 11548. The best way is to go back to 1.6 4399, then back to 6267. This I belueve is the only way. Follow tjis link on your pc. Because it does not work on the 2.2 ;-)

And when you finally get to the step where you are attempting to install the 6267 package you will need to make sure you use the attached recovery image. Otherwise you get the FOTA mismatch problem. Let me know if you need more help.

I have an O2 UK DELL STREAK with 2.1 build 8105 on it which has been unlocked by RebelSIM using their postal unlock service.
So I use my STREAK with my contract ORANGE SIM card without the use of a Rebel SIM II any longer.
However, whilst I expected my baseband to change to 00...it did not. It has reamined the same at 21.
This means, as I understand it, correct me if I am wrong here please, that when I check for updates to the phone, my STREAK tells the DELL servers I have an O2 STREAK (baseband 21) and therefore can not get the OTA update.
Does this mean I have to wait for O2 to release their version of Froyo..sometime mid-December maybe ?
Or is there another route to Froyo ? bearing in my mind I do not want or need any O2 branding/configuration as I do not and never will be using the O2 network with my STREAK.
Many many thanks to any help/advice anyone can offer.
I am quite techno-literate, but if any one is going to start talking fastboot, flashing ROMS etc. please can they provide step by step instructions don't want to end up with a bricked STREAK.
Not to sound arsey, but did you even bother to read any of the other threads? Everything you need is already outlined in other threads.
You need to do some research, this guide layes it out step by step to get to a custom 2.2 ROM. You have an O2 streak (baseband ending in 21). Only way to change baseband is by flashing new ROM, its not changed by using a different sim.

My original Streak was 1.6 which I was able to move to the official version of Froyo easily with QDL tool. I recently sent it in and received a replacement that had AT&T's crippled 2.2 on it. I really liked the official. Stage was better and I had hotspot and tethering. Now I don't. I have looked for a way to get the 00 base band from 31 while already at froyo but haven't found a clear answer how to do it. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Most stock ROMs available at the Streak section of the XDA wiki.
You want to read this:
Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
I would suggest that you try baseband 351 for a stock ROM. The Streak links in my signature might be useful.

Watch out Marvin, theres a troll eSZee. It willl crawl out and quickly tell us that we cant use and dont need to remind anyone of "wiki" links, then it scurries back under that rock under the bridge, lol.
Meantime thanks for that reference link. I have used that too and located a download for a build 14844 that I was looking for . I am rolling back from a 15697 build that reduced my volume drastically.

Sorry
I am sorry to say you have gone from an unlocked or uk streak and now you have a locked streak through you carrier, this is no problem as you still can flash the official rom although you have to downgrade it to 1.6 at&t and then to 1.6 o2 and then 2.1 o2 and then 2.2 o2. Sorry but I haven't got the time to tell you exactly what to do but there are dj steve forums on modacado that you could use skipping the last step!!!
Glad I could help Stevepork
If the replacement Streak was shipped to you with Android 2.2 you do not have to revert to Android 1.6 to install any of the Android 2.x roms.
You can install a 00 ROM on a locked phone. It will not unlock the phone from your carrier, but it will have the features of the unlocked ROM. If the phone you have is carrier locked you will have to unlock it to use another carrier's SIM. I don't have any experience with carrier unlocking, I bought my Streak unlocked direct from Dell.
nameyourflav, what carrier are you with?
