Hey Buddies
I´ve happily bought a used Streak for 340 bucks (euros) ...the seller has told me that he has updated the Streak on Android Version 2.1...but the Systeminfo is telling me that it´s not updated (uh,...that´s what I´m THINKING)
Am I right?
-->
Modelnumber
Dell Streak
Firmware Version
1.6
Baseband Version
GAUSB1A111100-EU
Kernel Version
2.6.29-perf
OEM Version
GAUSB1A111100
Build Number

...am I able to update my Streak on 2.2 the normal way or do I have to make a rollback first?
EDIT: And how can I figure out if he did anything "unnatural" to this phone (rooting e.g.)?
You are right it has not been upgraded you have 1.6 on board and you have baseband 00 which should get the 2.2 update first no need to roll back as you have the lowest on board now
Thank you very much for your help!! So the only thing missing is the OFFICIAL UPDATE!!

Cant say I have seen this build of 1.6 before.. there is probably a very small difference between this ROM and the normal Dell release..

More info please. What kernel, what ROM, what root did you use? I'm nice, but some people on this forum would eat you alive for leaving a post like this.
I'm sorry amigo - I know very little about phones - new to this world. I'm pretty good with computers though. I learn fast.
It's Kernel version 2.6.29
build number SPH-D700 ECLAIR.DI18.
Firmware: 2.1-update1
I used one.click.root.exploitv2.2.4 to root the phone. I haven't installed any other ROMS (Is there a place on the phone or within Rom Manager where it displays which exact ROM I am running?).

You're already on DI18, no need to update.
The build number shows you the ROM you're running
Ah great. Thank you.
This may be a stupid question, but what is the different between the JI6 update and the 2.1 update1?
I just got a replacement phone from T-Mob and it claims to have firmware version 2.1 update1 but the baseband version is JFD.
Or maybe I'm trying to understand what things are in baseband vs. what is in firmware. I assume one difference is that its easy to change the firmware, but that does not help me much.
Thanks
JI6 is latest and 2.1 update 1 is the old version
I really don't know if there was a pre release version 2.1 (without update 1)...
as far as i know, the very first vibrant came with 2.1 update 1 (or JFD), and that's what you have now.
You should get this updated to JI6...

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers....
Eclair 2.1 update1 is the stock ROM that comes pre-installed on the Vibrant.
JFD is the launch version of that firmware.
The newest revision of the Eclair 2.1 update1 is JI6 which, I'm sure you've seen a thread or two about, attempts to fix many of the issues users were having with GPS/Sync/etc. If you realllllly wanted to simplify it, and I know this is completely wrong but follow me here, you have Eclair 2.1 update1(JFD). JI6 would essentially be Eclair 2.1 update1(JI6).
Since you've got a vanilla Vibrant, I'd suggest you charge up your phone and head over to the Kies Mini page to grab the JI6 update. Of course you could also wait for the OTA (over the air) update if you felt like it.

Ok, don't think this has been asked before, but if it has - firstly very sorry and secondly I just can't find a clear answer!
- What do you need to be running to be able to receive and install the official 2.2 update when released on an O2 locked Streak?
Since buying my Streak I have subsequently upgraded from the official 1.6 to Steves 2.2 v 1.1 possibly 1.1.1, I'm guessing I have changed the baseband as I don't recall what it was originally (currently 20321-EU and the kernal is 2.6.32.9)
I'm guessing I will need to downgrade to an old official version of Android but what too, and with what baseband?
Thanks in advance fellow Streakers
eM
2.1 official update 8105 + stock recovery base band 21-eu
Since nobody has actually been able to try it yet, nobody can say for sure what you'll need except that it needs to be unlocked v00 to get the earliest release.

This stock recovery baseband you talk about is that what I'm currently running - 20321-EU???
That's the O2 baseband, your update will be in December with the rest of us.

So does that mean I will still receive the OTA update without having to downgrade to 2.1 or 1.6 even with all the unofficial upgrades I've done???

Hello everyone!
I have unlocked the device of origin. By OTA upgraded to version 2.2.2 (GAUSB1A135100-EU), Through The Dell website.
My doubt is:
Is there any latest official update?
Version PKG - Streack_360_17397_00.pkg, is an official update, the software version I have?
Is it advisable to install this version, or should I wait?
Thanks

351 is the latest official european rom released by dell, 360 is the latest released rom that was released for hong kong i think.
Differences are minor, but 360 is the slightly better newer rom, now, here is the thing, it doesn't matter if you put 360 on your device then don't like it, or want to return the phone for warranty, becuase you can simply go back to 351 by flashing the 351 recovery.img and 351 pkg file.

hi would you please make the update.pkg of the GAUSB1A135100-EU available so i can download it? on the wiki theres the 351 update but its the GAUSB1A135100-US version not the EU, im in the EU too Italy) and i might want to try if theres any difference between using a US version and using an EU version.
once you did the ota update the update.pkg file should stay in your root directory of your sd card unless you delete it. just copy that to your pc
351 and 360 are ROMs for unlocked (i.e. Retail) Streaks bought direct from Dell. The latest HK ROM is 354. The two can be distinguished by their region numbers: 00 for Retail, 11 for HK.
The only real difference between 351 and 360 is the bundleware is updated, so upgrading isn't essential.
There is no such thing as a "European-only" 351 or "US-only" 360. The "EU" and "US" tags in the About menu are based on the Streak itself, not the ROM.

thanks for this info, so they are identical its only the TAG dell gives to distinguish them or there are some hardware differences between the eu and the us?
If there is a hardware difference, I couldn't tell you what it is.

This forum has everything you need to root your Streak. I should know, I took the time to do it a couple months ago - and yet you'll note that my first posts here were only yesterday.
Trust me, you'll be much better off reading the forums and doing some research about rooting rather than having someone spoon feed it all to you. The process is fairly straightforward, but I'd advise knowing what you're doing rather than blindly following a list of instructions.
But to start you off, the first thing you'll want to do is get Streakmod Recovery installed.
Search away,plz don't dig out a old thread for no reason.
