Hi there, I've searched a lot for an answer, but haven't found anything. I don't want to make a mistake and end up with an unusable device.
I bought a used Streak off eBay, which is already running Android 2.2 (Baseband GAUSB1A130900-EU build number 11548). I am having problems authorising Facebook widgets, which I believe is linked to a problem loading HTTPS sites (needed to authorise some Facebook widgets such as the LauncherPro one).
I would like to upgrade to this rom:
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...o-com/325595/dell-new-official-rom-8-12-2010/
Which apparently solves the above problem.
Could anyone talk me through what is required? The problem is I don't know what has been done to the handset before I bought it, is there any way to check? Does it need to be rooted to 'upgrade' from 2.2 to another 2.2 image? Do I just need to copy the new image to the SD card, rename it and boot into recovery mode? My desktop is running Ubuntu if that affects the procedure.
Any help is much appreciated.
You need to update your streak to build to 12332, the 315 package first. To do this just download it from xda-forums(I can't find which forum right now), rename it Update.pkg(should already have .pkg on end of it). Then boot into recovery by turning off Streak, then hold volume up & down & power button @ the same time. You should see 4 options, choose option 2(something about installl Update.pkg). Your phone will then ask you to press the camera button to begin update.

Thanks a lot for the reply. After I've installed the image you suggest is it then safe to install the one I originally linked to?
Is the rule to generally only upgrade one release at a time?
Thanks.

i just downloaded the 315 file from the dell website with the stock browser on the streak..then installed it by tapping the downloaded file in the top bar while my streak stayed connected to my pc with the usb cable....and did the same with the 318 file.
It has to reboot several times during the update but it works perfect.
no rooting, no recovery needed... i have also an unlocked euro version with 1.6 first.
-so 1.6 to 2.2 en now the latest 318 version.
Not necessary to update to 315 first. Just follow this link:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A111800
Worked perfect for me!

This post is correct. I forgot that you have the image already if you are on Froyo. Just follow the link from your phone and you should be fine
Great, thanks a lot guys.

How you update over 309 or 315?
Did You Root this Build? or is z4 works?
How do you update from o2 2.1? I keep getting FOTA model mismatch.
Update: I had 02 2.1 running on my unlocked streak on ATT. All I had to do to get this on my Streak was flash using fastboot the 309 recovery img. once I flashed that I booted into recovery mode and selscted update 2 and it installed right from the SD card. Will mess with it tonight and see if it is fully functional.
Update over 309.
Root is what im battling now. Z4root isnt playing nice.

Your 2nd link = 404. Clicking through from the 1st one = success. Soon as the D/L completes I'll try rooting with my rom kitchen and report back asap.
UPDATE 1: Yeah, well it goes without saying that the EU rom update won't place nicely with my US Streak, and as of right now the .pkg file is resisting my attempts to extract it. I've got to head to the office pretty quickly here, but I'll see what I can accomplish from there. If anyone with the EU version wants to help, load up the update, use fastboot to flash the custom streak recovery console, do a nandroid backup, and post that somewhere I can get at it. I should be able to root that pretty quickly. ( maybe... I've been wrong before... a lot. )
I have 309 and when I downloaded it from the link and went to install it. FOTA missmatch. What gives?

From your carrier icon I'd say Euro Rom + US Streak = FAIL. Don't feel bad I tried it too just for the heck of it.

Hi I would like to upgrade my father & a friend's Streak. They are both running US AT&T. I had messed with mine for 1 whole day before I could get to Froyo. I went to O2 1.6, then was stuck trying to get the 8105(O2 2.1) I eventually installed Froyo by using the CLEAN UNTOUCHED method.
I am not trying to go through this nightmare again!!!! Can anyone tell me if I install the 309 recovery image, then use Update.pkg with the 318 update if it will take them straight from 1.6 to 2.2. Or if I just perform the CLEAN UNTOUCHED method posted by DJ Steve will that work coming from ATT 1.6?
Install o2 1.6 and then it will tell you there is an update. it will download and install 02 2.2 for you
Thanks, I hope its that EASY!!!
After I install the O2 update, can I just upgrade using the 318 package, so that his phone shows as a unit ending in 00 baseband, instead of being tied to O2 network? Do you know if installing the O2 update will give him the 309 recovery?

What i would do is once you have upgraded i would put the 309 recovery on then run the 318 update no need to run the 02 2.2 update
The best and cleanest route is to use QDL Tool to go straight from ATT 1.6 to ATT 2.2 build 308 then apply the 318.pkg
whole process should only take about 30 minutes.
Tool can be found here: streakdroid DOT com /?page_id=15[/url]
its called repairtool on the right column
I tried the QDL tool, but since I have a windows 7 & 64 bit, there was a lot of driver changes that I needed to apply. Once I successfully had that installed it showed the QUALCOMM modem, but didn't show up as DIAGNOSTIC. So when I connected the Streak it showed up as some port.....but not what I needed it to show as.

Yes mate thats the way to go
Tied to the o2 network? OK, so what's the disadvantage of being tied to the o2 network?
Hmmmm maybe I should go back to o2 2.1 and upgrade to 18 instead of 19? I remember seeing some tweaked kernel files thread that might help this thing run better.

I would advise against that Carhigh....You would be missing out on all the wonderful capabilities of the Streak and Android 2.2. What Baseband & version of Android do you have installed now?
I'm already on o2 2.2, 619 I think. The one released last week. I was wondering why people are going to 618, instead of the over the air 619, which is what I did. And instead of screwing around with it, might as well wait for official us 2.2 then just go to that. Shouldn't be to long of a wait, but who knows how long it will really be. Unless going fro 619 to 618 is really worth it.......

I decided to update my Streak to the official build 340 today and it installed but I now have the flashing lights thing.

Is there something I can do to stop the flashing lights?

Its different for each person. I started with a fresh 309 build then upgraded to a factory reset 318 and didn't configure anything then flashed 1.8.0 and had zero issues. Upgraded to 1.8.1 and still have zero issues. Everything works great on mine. I use it as my everyday phone. But like I said others haven't had it that smooth but I'm not sure if they came from a complete factory reinstall like I did.

Go check out the tutorial for using the QDL tool on streakdroid.com. It'll get you to a stock Dell 2.2. A word of advice though, the tutorial has you download all necessary drivers, but does not give the step for installing the ADB driver. The driver is there, you just have to pick the proper one for your system.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yes I did the QDL tool thing and the hard part was getting the right drivers for the qualcom thing and then the ADB tool.
But, it worked. I briefly had streaddroid 1.8.1 on my system. It looked alright and my phone worked. I didn't test wifi though since I moved on to the QDL tool trying to get to 2.2.2 which I'm really confused about apparently.
Once you use QDL to get 2.2 make sure you do system updates after that to get up to the most current build.

I'm curious if anyone running 345 has received notification of this update? I'm running 345 and I've been expecting a notification to update but so far nothing yet...
345 shouldnt recieve ota notifications since it wasnt publicly released. Non public roms are usually like that, 305/333/341 all dont have update notices even though they're old.
You have to manually update if you're on a rom that wasnt originally available on the OTA server
Learn something new every day. I thought 345 WAS a public-released ROM but I stand corrected. Thanks for that clarification.
Off to update to 351...
It was (to my knowledge) released by email to specific groups as a hotfix or a test group
It wasnt ever actually ever on the OTA server

Hey guys. I have a question. I have a European Streak, how can I download the latest ROM, stock, without rooting? The currently installed ROM I have, stock without ever reflashing, is bugging me. It crashes frequently when trying to answer the phone. I would like to reflash it download the original stock rom or the latest one. Do I need to worry about compatibility when downloading an OEM rom? Where can I get said ROM as well?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Now, I have one last question. I saw from the wiki page the how to guide, but I'm an official unlocked direct from Dell. I downloaded the 00 of 351. Now, on to the upgrading. Is it enough just to put the Streak_351_15609_00.pkg on the SD card, and rename it to Update.pkg, and then launch into recovery? Or do you know of a guide to upgrade an already factory unlocked streak? I did this once, but A LONG time ago, and I don't remember how. Ever since, I've changed devices a couple of times :s
Thanks!
1. Install PKG Recovery Hash (recovery.img ) 351
2. Streak_351_15609_00.pkg on the SD card, and rename it to Update.pkg, and then launch into recovery.
How do you do step one? :-$

Download the stock rom you want directly to your Streak
When the DL is complete tap on the DL notification in the status bar and it should install
If it does not install, rename the file to Update.pkg and install using the stock recovery.
If the rom does not install with recovery you may have to manually upgrade the recovery on the phone first.

So the previous posters step isn't necessary (hopefully) because I don't remember doing that step. Regardless, if it doesn't update just by placing it in the update mode, it wont brick it. Will it? That's what I'm terrified of

Never an issue for me, YMMV. When installing a stock ROM the update is checked prior to install, that's why you may have to update the recovery first. If it installs without using recovery your settings and apps will be retained, but some users find a factory reset is required if the updated ROM is acting strange (force closes, runs 'choppy'). I find the 351 ROM to be very stable.
Sorry to ask but I'm also curious about the updating process. I have an unlock O2 UK Dell Streak 5 running 319 and I would like to know if it was possible to update to 351 by putting the Update.pkg directly to the sd card? Or must I flash 351 recovery img first - is this step important?

You need to flash 351 recovery first as your O2 is not compatible with 00 baseband devices..
I'm currently on DJ_Steve's 1.9 ROM
Looking on my ABOUT page, I see that I am running Baseband version 318
(GAUSB1A131800-US).
Which is the best one to be on at this point? Should I find the baseband for 351 and flash that? If so, would I need to reflash the ROM back over the top of it?
What baseband is everyone else running?
Baseband Change
I'm not really qualified to answer your question, but since no one else has chimed in to help you out I'll tell you my experience. I read somewhere in these Streak forums that 318 BB is the recommended BB for SD 1.9, etc. I've also read that a lot of people are successfully using BB 351. I was using BB 305 and updated to BB 351. I didn't notice any difference in the performance of my Streak running SD 1.9. If you want to update anyway then go themanii's page and copy the amss file you want to try, http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/. All you need to do is copy the amss file you want to try and then fastboot flash it to your Streak. You'll be good to go.
I am running 351 also, works just fine for me.

For what its worth:
I have upgraded to 351. I simply downloaded the amss.mbn for 351, booted into fastboot, flashed it, then restarted.
Everything works just fine. I'm testing battery life today, but so far it doesn't seem to be any different on the surface.
It works, though.
I'm using 318, just because I think that's the one that QDL tool gives you, and I have never changed it...
Or maybe it came with 318- can't remember. If I knew of a goodreason to change, I would...
