Sometimes it pays to live in silicon valley. My boss was heading over to dell's office to pick up a streak with froyo for evaluation, so I asked if he could take my phone with him and get them to upgrade it, and sure enough a few hours later I'm sitting here with froyo on my streak.

Please don't ask me to dump the firmware.
31800 is for unbranded streaks, its been put out for unlocked euro streaks over the last few days..
Its very unlikely its going to be att version..

Hm, that's interesting. I just checked with my t-mobile sim card and it's still locked to at&t at least.
Ok so you tell everyone that and then you say Please dont ask for firmware? Almost like bragging. Been there, Done that. Your not more special then anyone else.

Bragging? It's a firmware for a phone ffs. I just wanted to share whatever information that might be interesting for the community.
People will hate you because they can't flash Steve's 1.4.6

We already got all of that
Then theres the Please dont ask me to dump the firmware. If we already didnt have froyo and you had it without anyone else being able to get it, Id say your post is a form of bragging. Please dont ask to dump the firmware? Where have you been, everyone BEEN had that firmware. Please dont ask where we got it from....
I assume that I can't just dump and give it away since while the core android system is open source, third party versions are very likely to contain code that's not. I didn't sign an NDA but I'm pretty sure spreading copyrighted material can get me into enough trouble as it is.
Anyway, been playing around with it now and it seems very stable. Haven't had any crashes. Tried looking at some flash videos at the escapist and they played pretty nice, chopped a little bit but not to bad. Wifi hotspot is enabled so that's awesome, wonder if at&t's version will have that.
I have to say I miss having the app drawer in the upper left corner though, and I prefer the old keyboard over swype.

Man you guys are being a little rough on the guy. He was just excited and like you all said probably doesn't frequent the forums and wanted to share his new found upgrade. I am sure in fear of getting trouble he didn't want to share not knowing that it was already posted for the 00 based band and not the 31 yet.
A lot of talk for someone with only 6 posts... be easy on him.

Ok guys as title suggests I am litterally done with this phone now and am ready to throw it out of a window! The only thing stopping me is because it is so new and the fact that I absolutely love it apart from not being able to get official 1.5 update on to it.
I have tried everything!
All I want is the 1.5 (not modded/rooted) firmware with widgets etc. I have tried downgrading but that doesn't work, I have tried upgrading but that doesn't work and over the air hasn't come over the past 3 days it has been turned on (although I suspect this is due to being on Orange although I did buy a T-Mobile sim and it didn't update in a day with that inside either).
If you can help I WILL PAY!!!

Seriously man.. I have to be honest. If you can read directions and follow them, there should be nothing that you cant do on the g1 yourslef. There are numerous threads that give you Dummie proof step by step instructions.
So is your phone stock firmware?? Because if that is the case then you should recieve an OTA update for cupcake.
What exactly is the problem you're running into? The whole process may seem overwhelming at first, but it's really cut and dry. it is as simple as replaceing files on the sd card, updating a couple times and running some verbatim commands. You shouldnt be having that many problems.

Seriously buddy I have been building PC's since I was 13 and have been modding/flashing and programming my HTC Hermes for the past 2 years and yet this is impossible! It would appear I was unlucky enough to get the one firmware/build that is almost impossible to flash (look it up if you don't believe me, google for "123099" and choose the xda link).
Yes it is the stock rom that came with the phone but I haven't had an update in 3 days??? Is this because I am using an Orange sim card? I have purchased a T-Mobile sim should I put this in and leave it for x amount of days hoping?

You either get it OTA, or you root it. Unless you can find the official update.zip.
Once you root it, flash a European JF build, which is as close to the stock build as you're going to get.

I apologize if you feel that i questioned your ability. It is just very often people are quick to "ask how to do this/that" I did a small search on the build number and it does appear there are people discussing the issue.
I was just trying to provide words of encouragment if it was something that just "seemed" overwhelming.. but it seems you have a background.. Best of luck man
You won't get the ota update unless you're on the original tmobile sim the phone was shipped with.. otherwise how would tmobile know to push it to you? Orange certainly aren't going to do it. This has precisely bugger all to do with your build number and everything to do with using a different sim. If you want to pay me for this information, ill happily receive it.

There's basically no disadvantage to rooting, but try to get hold of the proper SIM to OTA then, or find someone who has that update.zip...

I am sorry, but this is completely wrong. You don't need the original sim. You can even receive updates via wlan or on other networks. Anyway , I would suggest to root. It's nothing criminal.
I sent you a pm on how to do it, read the one that says "this explains better on how to install the 1.5 update" or something like that
Hope it helps!

Well, guess I'm going to have to wait.
this is only for uk streaks dont try on a us streak 21=uk 31=us 00= unlocked dell
Got 2.1 and its lovely! It urinates on os4 from a great height as it now has beauty as well as functionality.
Keyboard is better. Look and feel is better. Speed is fast. Camera feels faster but not by much. 720p video. Video recording can be triggered from you tube etc
photos are organized much better.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Is Multi-touch now supported system-wide? I think that full support for multi-touch enabled apps could be the biggest advantage after the speed boost...
What about 720p recording? Does it actually manage a decent framerate or are the stories of around 8fps true?

Just tried the New 2.1 update, much smoother, faster, all new icons, looks better, better graphics and just tried the camera, much quicker, much faster shutter & finally 720p recording mode in video!!

I have a US unlocked Beta (ending in 00) and the 2.1 update went smoothly. No issues here.
Update does not work on US Direct from Dell $549.00
The 2.1 update does not work on the Streak I bought at full price from Dell. It says something about the serial number mismatch I assume it is not a UK serial so it rejected it. Did not brick it though. Just rebooted to the 1.6......

why is everyone so worried about getting 2.1 on an att x10?
use the x10a world generic 2.1 rom and flash it. it's not hard. rather simple.
Last time I flashed/rooted the X10a it got bricked with no 3G or WIFI. Unless you are aware of a full proof rooting/flashing kits I dont find it so simple.

Follow the guides as stated in the posts and you should be fine. There is some risk of course but, the X10 is very hard to brick. You can always repair using SEUS

i have an att x10a, i'm on my 3rd variant of 2.1 roms. infact, i'm running an x10i 2.1 rom right now.
don't rely on att, it won't happen.
Between bin4ry and z the flashing has gone smoothly for me. Once AT&T was out of the equation I had a brand new phone again. I wanted to keep X10a initially, but the X10i works just fine. I doubt AT&T will release 2.1, so XDA is our only hope.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I flashed my X10 like 30-40 Times with b4nary Flasher or with SE Update Engine and like 4-5 Times it was stuck on SE Screen but i can access the Flash Mode and then flashed new. Its very easy i even plugged out my X10 accidently while it was flashing new and its still working. Read everything 2 Times and make sure you flash right Files when you use b4nary Flasher or do it with -SE Update Engine you only need to change you Region Code in build.prop. Its not that hard you can always access Flash Mode even if you Phone gets stuck at SE Screen or something. But still be careful dont try all out only becouse i said this. Read Instructions good or ask someone to help you in MSN or some Chat and then you should do this with no Problem and dont need to wait for AT&T
What an informative and useful post!

Hahaha, no worries. I am mister sarcasm. Should get it tomorrow, can't wait to see how it is. Father in law has my other HD2 but he showed interest. Might have to get my HD2's up to get him an att version.
Could anyone with an AWS streak post their full baseband version? I'd like to know what the region is named. Eg: GAUSB1A131800-US for a us streak and GAUSB1A131800-EU for a european streak
If no one else does I will tomorrow hen it arrives in the mail. Dell US tech support had no idea what I was talking about so the AWS ones must be Euro. Ebay listing also mentioned them as being Euro.
that would be kind of ironic, since no providor in europe uses aws (unless im mistaken)
That is what I thought. Unless there is another band on the phone that Euro ones have. Are not some of them 900/2100??? So these ones might be 900/1700/2100????????
What is the sellers name? I have been looking for AWS streaks
Seller is oreba77
baseband is:
GAUSB1A134100-AWS
Phone is 900/1700/2100...
341? could you post your build number? thanks for the baseband string!
Android version: 2.2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM Version: GAUSB1A34100
Build Number: 14917
Another entry to the list, unfortunately, I cant seem to download it off the dell servers. Seems like 333 and 341 are ment for aws streaks but i have no idea what the URL is for them. I have to resist the urge to ask you for the build fingerprint lol. You've already helped plenty
Where is that located.
As a side note. Can not root this ***** at all. Tried z4root, couple versions of superoneclick, and universal androot.
If you really wanted to you would need to open up /system/build.prop and look at the entry ro.build.fingerprint, but you need to root to read it.
Example fingerprint from stock 318: ro.build.fingerprint=dell/streak/streak/8x50:2.2/FRF91/eng.cmbuild.20101203.104229:user/release-keys
Nah, have root explorer and can read it:
ro.build.fingerprint=dell/streak/streak/8x50:2.2.2/FRG83G/eng.cmbuild.20110211.150853:user/release-keys
I guessed, i know you have to root to write it though. If im reading that correctly, your build is actually based on an older version of android, 341 is FRF83G and 318 is FRF91, but my knowledge of build strings is limited, but it's definitely compiled later (it's only 2 weeks old)
Hi,
I just have a basic question on what people think and how the update would be handled if it would even happen
I have purchased my Acer a501 with optus (Australia's 2nd Biggest Mobile Network Company)
My Acer is on a yearly plan inc 2GB/mth for $40/mth for 12mth. ($480 inc data) not a bad deal! considering i seen sales for 1.5 the price in shops.
anyways I am excited about ICS, and hope I will one day use it.
does anyone have experience owning a device which is sub.branded with another company eg: optus/acer Iconia.
when I switch my unit on, it says ACER, then a OPTUS logo is shown until it's booted
will this type of unit retrieve updates via system update notification? that be same as unlocked A501's?
or Will i be required to ROM my system to a standard a501 and let that find the ICS updates when they come out.
Info I can give on my ICONIA is this.

Hi,
I just have a basic question on what people think and how the update would be handled if it would even happen
I have purchased my Acer a501 with optus (Australia's 2nd Biggest Mobile Network Company)
My Acer is on a yearly plan inc 2GB/mth for $40/mth for 12mth. ($480 inc data) not a bad deal! considering i seen sales for 1.5 the price in shops.
anyways I am excited about ICS, and hope I will one day use it.
does anyone have experience owning a device which is sub.branded with another company eg: optus/acer Iconia.
when I switch my unit on, it says ACER, then a OPTUS logo is shown until it's booted
will this type of unit retrieve updates via system update notification? that be same as unlocked A501's?
or Will i be required to ROM my system to a standard a501 and let that find the ICS updates when they come out.
Info I can give on my ICONIA is this.
Android Ver. :3.2.1

Well Shaun, I would guess when Optus decides to release your update, you will receive notification. "When" it will happen, is anybody's guess. But the updates will arrive via OTA.
(the "OPTUS" logo after Acer, is just the boot animation).
If your tablet is "locked" to OPTUS right now (insert a different Sim and see what happens), then it will probably will be locked to the network after OTA. This "locking" is in a different section on the tab, and is NOT effected by software installs. At least on the ATT models.
So, when they push ICS OTA, you will still be locked.
But like I said, turn off the tab, put a different brand Sim card, and start the tab. If you get prompted to enter a 16 digit code, you are locked to OPTUS.
Or, as in the case on one of my friends on Rogers, it said "registered on the network". So, see what happens. (although it shows APN for rogers, only because his network sim is a new company and isn't listed in APNS-conf)
the first thing I tried when I got my tab was a TELSTRA sim
it worked and i browsed a website to be sure
it's optus branded but not locked
YAY..
seriously...
YAY! haha

Great! Guess you're not locked to a specific network like ATT.
You'll get your ICS update eventually But don't worry, they only started pushing the 3.2.1 updates to the 501 users just recently.
are you a Master user here?
I would like to see a sticky for acer Updates and keeping it updated to see what gets what and when.
so if ICS is out in USA but not OZ.. then I can see hmmmmm we getting jibbed!
and I can start to look for a custom rom for my system hahaha
Mate we ALWAYS get the shaft for most things... At least Optus releases an OTA update in a "timely" manner, Telstra is a ***** for releasing ANYTHING new...
Have never stayed stock with them....

Define "Master User"
Have I modded roms? check
Have I brought tabs back from the brink of death? check
Will I flash anything I think is usable? check
Do I flash untested kernels? check
Have I ever bricked my tab? Nope (semi-bricked my Desire 2yrs ago in the old days, but recovered) Does that count?
Am I an Android programmer? Nope. I know enough to get in trouble. I am what you might call a "fry cook"
So, do I qualify for "Master User"?
If you are on a "stock" unbranded 501, you will receive updates directly from Acer. This means you will probably get them first. If you have a "branded" device, it will be up to the network provider to decide when to release them.
Considering there are no "official" updates to ICS for the 500 or 501, then no point in discussing it. It will come when it does.
We already have a thread in the Dev section pertaining to leaked updates and roms. Believe me, when the 501 gets an ICS update, I will personally be all over it like Monica on Bill Clinton. Heck, I'll go back to stock just to snag the update file

Thank you sir! (Justin Beiber??? Eeewwwwww....)
But I can say 1 thing. No problems. No revisions needed At least not something making a new rom for.
Just hope when it comes, I don't have the same issues as the 500 leak in the beginning We shall see...
What do they say? Leave the best for last?

501... proverbial "red headed stepchild"
Man you are lucky that your a501 is on 3.21.
I am one of those whose a501 was locked (to rogers) but has been unlocked for nearly 3 months (paid 25 to get it unlocked) as I'm a bell customer.
We are still on stock 3.2. Haven't seen or heard anything about any 3.21 update yet.
I use ics RC 4.2 for my i9000m and cm9 for my p1000m. I can't go back to GB. Hard to think that.
Can't wait til ics comes out though. Really loving it.
