[Q] Rogers Dell Streak 1.6 to O2 2.1 - Streak 5 General

has anyone used this blog site before to update their Rogers Dell Streak before from 1.6 to O2 2.
weethomas.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/updating-the-dell-streak-to-android-2-1/

I've seen a few posts claiming that it was done by going to O2 1.6 then O2 2.1 then O2 2.2.
I tried flashing the O2 1.6 yesterday but the progress bar made it half way through and then said that the software was already up to date. I'm a little hesitent to try it again, but I'm having so many problems with 1.6 where the touchscreen becomes unresponsive for most of the screen until rebooted.

You should be able to go to 2.1 then 2.2 dont see any reason why you should have to go 1.6 then 2.1

UK XDA2 latest 1.60 rom Another week from today 31-3-04

As expected the new rom was not on the o2 site, So i rang Data Support and was told the rom is ready and has been for a while, The problem is the people who update the o2 Site are now saying another week befor they can add the downloadable upgraded rom file.
I tried every option including begging for the upgrade but to no avail
We also larphed about a week to update a web site, so i think this means there is no real idea of when we will see th latest rom

Well thats excellent new, Thanks doing the updates now
John
The o2 XDAII website also has the update now...I've downloaded it this evening.
Anthony
So does the update fix the Bluetooth issues of not being able to send files and phonebook contacts ?
So Who produces the Updates etc
So who produces the images? I thought the ones on the i-mate site were well ahead of the rest (currently 1.52.00wwe), but now O2 have 1.6.
Yes the extended rom is different and not comarable, but are the main ROM versions - are they all the same??
And not to hijack the origional questions.. Does anyone know what (if any) bluetooth issues are fixed in the O2 release??
Thanks,
Ian

I just upgraded mine, it took about 90 minutes to do, and the bluetooth appears to be exactly the same. I can send files to and from my pc, but not to my mobile phone. However it would seem my T610 isnt compatible with the XDA2, but other phones are ( and hopefully all future mobile phones and Bluetooth devices ).
Theres still no proper profiles such as OBEX to allow it to be compatible with all devices.
Don't bother with this ROM upgrade if you are seeking a solution to the headset/handsfree issue.
It doesn't fix anything. It makes it worse.
Bad piece of code - keep away - save your energy.

02 XDA Orbit

I want to get the ROM updated as my GPS is slow to load and I was told that updating the ROM will sort this out.
I haven't done this before on the XDA (have on HP iPac) so I get the idea. Having reading through many posts I am totally confused as to what I should be doing.
I have downloaded and installed Artemis_USPL and I get everything in order - however it doesn't report current ROM version and doesn't update (Active Sync seem to drop connection).
All I want to do is update the ROM to the latest version.
Therefore I want to know where I can get the latest O2 Rom for WM5, and what software I should be using to make the update.
Many thanks for any help
Eddie
(BTW - I am happy with WM5, however if I can kill 2 birds with one stone and get on to an English version of WM6 I would like to do that as well!)
losing sync
got the same problem here
Have you tried waiting the screen willgo either white or black for a period.
When using USPL it doesnt alter the device data or appearance just the CID status.
If you follow the idiots guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311650
you should have no problems.
I have UK O2 Orbit and no problems at all as I said follow the guide and will work sometimes it seems to be taking ages and doing nothing but trust me for me it gets there.
o2 are doing WM6 updates - just take it to the store....
Thanks for the reply.
I did follow the idiots guide as mentioned, and having working in IT for 10 years found it simple enough to follow. Didn't change the fact that I couldn't get passed the "dropped" used connection and no update!
What I then did was ring o2 who did have a clue and then I rang the XDA (o2) dedicated service center.
The girl on the phone went and checked with the techs and rang me back to confirm they are installing WM6 on all XDA's that get sent back, and that the update is free!
With this information I went to my local o2 store who accepted the phone for software upgrade to WM6 and told me it will be back with me on Thursday of next week.
Problem sorted - let them do it......
Wishfull thinking....please check when they return the device...may have the SD Card with the flashed ROM on it hee hee hee...!

is your pc Vista by any chance
NO XP!
I did ask the service center direct - if you want to check give them a call on 01603 269901 - XDA2 warranty returns line.
Also I rang o2 twice on 0800 5874715 and on both occasions they confirmed they are supporting it from 23/27 of this month - so that all ties in nicely.
I will let you know when mine returns if it works and if they have upgraded the ROM etc.....
They are indeed upgrading all retuned devices with WM6. That is for sure.
I got my XDA Orbit Back from o2 yesterday after 6 days.
It has been updated (ROM, GSM etc) and has WM 6 Pro on it.
Sat Nav is still very slow to kick in - what else can I do to speed up the connection?

Have you ensured that QuickGPS is up to date?
Also when you run the GPS ensure u are static while it locates you.
Also overclock the Orbit slightly?
Hope this helps

Just got XDA Trion from O2 UK with WM6 installed

Got a unit the other day that was used, so they sent me out a replacement, and it has WM6 installed - YAY!
Just waiting for my Micro SD card to arrive to see if I can load TT6 onto it (whihc could be a problem!)
I guess ROM updates must be due shortly for the rest?

ignore, its for the orbit not the hermes
tonyflow, that's interesting! I ordered an XDA Trion from O2 UK today. They were out of stock for a little while, so this must be a new batch. I wonder what OS they'll have installed...
Will report back!
The first unit I got (which was already used - which I was not happy about) was WM5, called their customer services, and they got a replacement out to me the next day - the box had a manual addition for WM6 - and when I powered the device on it was confirmed
I knew that O2 Germany had a ROM update for WM6, but wasnt aware of O2 UK having it! Saves me the hassle of upgrading and then trying to relicense tomtom in the future anyways
I got mine at the beginning of July and it has WM5 on it
I wonder if it would be easy to upgrade and if all the programs I have on it would still work.....
Anyway, I have sent them an email as to why the Trion is mot mentioned on the my-xda site (I became aware of it a while back when someone posted the seeo2.com for malaysian customers and I looked for the english version and re-visited it when it was mentioned on el-reg). Just hope a WM6 update is forthcoming....
Well, just called O2 as I saw the order had "Provisioning Failed" by it on their website. Turns out that they're out of stock - why they couldn't of told me this when I bought it I don't know - and it's contrary to what it says on their online store. So maybe, if I get a unit from yet another new batch, the chance of having WM6 increases?

X10 Questions

Hey, I have a question about the X10. I used to own a Windows phone and new how to install roms etc.
1.) When using WM if I debranded my phone the moment I used the Sony Ericsson update service my phone would revert back to the branded software etc. I wish to purchase an X10 on Virgin but want to unlock/debrand my phone, if I do this will I still be able to receive direct updates without my phone locking itself back to virgin?
Thanks
Yes you will! read the Update thread on the front page of General

o2 2.1

This might be a stupid question but I have an AT&T build streak currently running o2 2.1. Im tired of messing around with this thing to get it to go back to AT&T 1.6. My question is if I leave it on o2 2.1 will i get the update notification to 2.2 from o2 when released and if so could I upgrade it or would it lock my phone down to o2 not allowing me to use my at&t sim.
