I am on a Rogers Locked streak in Canada, have the phone rooted, or at least I think I do.
Recently moved from a blackberry for the last 5 years and made the leap to a dell streak... problems is that it's on 1.6 donut. Rogers is behind in the android community and seems that they will be late late late in the update game hence the new interest in roms and stuff. NEWB!!!!
Have the qdl tool downloaded, the usb drivers downloaded from the ftp site, tried the step by step video, problem is that I get timed out when the streak reboots during the process. I am sure that I am picking the right driver but when the streak reboots my 2002 version 32 bit xp running service pack 3 looks for the driver again, I've tried again and again with all the drivers available but still doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Keep trying. Where did you get the qualcom drivers for the phone? I had a similiar problem until I realized that I actually didnt have the right driver. PM me your email address and ill forward the driver folder I found that got me rolling.

I had some problems with mine yesterday, but nothing like that I don't think. I don't think I am even understanding the problem. I do have a suggestion though. What helped me fix my issue with the tool, was simply using another USB port and loading the driver again when it installs in that port. Don't think its gonna solve your issue, but you got nothing better to do

already got all the guides bookmarked and since i've already rooted a G1 and a mytouch i'm pretty confident but i just want to ask a quick question about the OS.
All the times i rooted before i was on XP or Vista and didn't need to do the ADP stuff, now i'm on windows 7 home premium 32 bit. i just wanted to ask real quick to make sure that all the programs i need to run to root the N1 work without any issues on Win7 32.
Simple as that. If not, i got an XP laptop hanging around that i can do it on.
Yes they do.

thanks for the fast reply. can't wait to get started on everything when it gets in tomorrow
No problem, there are guides all over the place if you get stuck along the way.
I called Dell yesterday and they told me that the 2.2 OTA update did start rolling out yesterday (Jan. 12) for AT&T customers. They also said it will not hit every phone at the same time and could take the rest of the month before all phones receive the update notification.
Tnx for the update, but, considering how easy it is to get the unbloated 2.2, unless you are concerned about a warranty issue, why would anyone want a bloated locked down carrier rom?
Maybe there are some fixes some would like. I'm going to try it at least

I have tried 4 times to update using the QDL tool with no success so i gave up on that and just waiting for official
I had several failures trying to update using the QDL tool. I finally tried one last with a different computer and it worked just fine.
I believe the problem I was having had to do with the drivers working with a 64bit OS. In the end I used an old Eee PC I have running 32bit Win7. I installed the drivers and everything worked without a problem.

same here, my computer is win 7 64 could not get drivers to work but went to my wifes win7 32 and worked great no problems now i have 2.2 but i am curious if there are any improvements on official att 2.2 or just added crap.
I would feel better about that news if I had heard of even ONE AT&T customer getting the update.

That is a very good point ..... I have not heard of any AT&T getting the update yet. You would think atleast one person here would have gotten it.

If you are a member of any forum about the Streak, no update for you.
I just got off phone with att customer dont care errrr i mean care ..... they had no idea what i was talking about when asked about the 2.2 update
Rolling out...
I know there are a lot of streak owners but why does it have to roll out?
they have a big enough network, we should at least be able to go to an AT&T store as soon as it is available, and get it. This is bull
not like im gonna load their slow bloated buggy unrooted mess anyway
but im hoping theres something new for the devs to cook new ROMS.

Don't hate on Dell, AT&T are clearly the bottle neck for their 2.2 update.
i got the qdl tool to work on my wifes laptop ... woooo hoooo
If dell wanted to really please its AT&T Tied customers they would just post a Link to the update. Hey, But that would be to much common sense. This is not a perfect world. Luckily there's QDL.

I tried countless hours(I think about 20+) trying to get QDL to work on 2 different computers. One was a 32 bit old XP, and one a new 64 bit W7. Eventually bricked my streak, using qdl. Took it back to best buy and got another. Not exactly brave enough to try it with my new one, so I am like you and waiting for the official.
I purchased my dell online included with stock 2.2. It seemed a bit laggy and had issues with the accelerometer. I flashed Steve's latest and am never going back!

do some research...make sure you get all the drivers right.
I did mine on the first trial. after many hours of research.
Link on streaksmart.com says at&t is delaying it "a couple more weeks at least".

Here's a good link about this: here
Hey guys,
I have a (Rogers) Dell Streak running 1.6 and for some reason the flash LED doesn't work. I can't even select it. When I try it tells me that the device has no LED flash. Have any of you had a similar issue?
I'm wondering if I'll have to return it due to that. Let me know please.
Cheers
Hi, I have a rogers streak as well I read your post tried the camera and my led flash works. Before you do anything post your software/firmware here or pm me we will compare I'm on 1.6 as well.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Never mind. Noob mistake. I managed to get it working . But while your here I might as well ask. Did you get your Streak rooted? If so which method did you use?
Thanks for your reply
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I have not yet done anything with it. I will give it till spring as that is suppose to be the official 2.2 release for Rogers and if its a lie then I will go and root it.
Hey guys ... I bought the streak on New Years eve from Telephone Booth ... I used it on 1.6 for a good 2 to 3 hours ... then rooted it and installed DJ Streak's 2.2 and I was blown away with the performance boost.
I'm a heavy camera user, and it was important that the camera works. And it did.

Which process did you take to root your Streak? And did you go straight from stock 1.6 to DJ Steves' 2.2? Could you please let me know? I want to root my phone but I'm worried about bricking it.

A couple days ago my epic stopped being recognized by any computers. Tried multiple cables and all that. I used the rerfs stock ec05 to get back to stock before bringing it in to Sprint. They won't do anything to it cause of my extended battery, which sucks cause my stock battery sits by my window and got rained on causing the spot to turn red. They won't touch it now. I used z4roo to root, flashed the cheese gingerbread from asc somehow. Now I'm stuck. I can't flash cwm through rom manager cause it only sees device as I9000. I can't flash gps fix or anything cause it fails signature. How do I change how rom manager sees my device so I can flash cwm so I can fix everything?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Everything I have read says that rom manager does not work on the Epic so don't use it
Did you try a different pc? Im sorry if these are obvious answers but issues like this tend to be overlooked. Try a differerent pc. Redownload the drivers. Odin back to stock. These phones are actually hard to screw up software wise so if all else fails its a hardware problem. Some people like to use the standalone drivers, for some reason I like to install kies. Its workes guaranteed for me everytime.. and I use the stock usb cable. Im actually one of the very few people who like it lol

power down and put it in download mode pressing 1 on keyboard and power button
connect to computer
if still not recognized and/or drivers do not load properly
uninstall old drivers and install them again or try different drivers
pdanet android has also worked for me successfully installing 'some' drivers
i would recommend the drivers straight from samsung website...they worked for me both on x86 and x64 windows 7 computers
if you can get into download mode (yellow triangle) and connect properly to pc
go ahead and odin eb13 or ec05 stock tar (ec05 if possible and doesn't hang on formatfs.rfs)
then update as usual to your desired rom using the relevant one-click cwm
if you had to go back to eb13...use one-click cwm2.5 first...then step up from there
Honestly, sounds like a bum port on the phone. I'd try calling Sprint rather than the store as I've had a LOT better luck dealing with them on the phone.

Tried all that. I ended up taking my whole phone apart and seeing if there were bad connections. Everything looks good. I might just say I dropped my phone in lake pay my deductable and get a new one and use this for spare parts.

Why not buy another stock battery or borrow one from a friend and take your phone to another sprint store?

For some strange reason, my computer won't recognize my Epic if I plug the USB cable into my front ports. Just doesn't see them. But if I plug them into the ports on the back of my computer, totally sees it. I dunno why, but maybe that will help you as well.
Install the samsung usb driver offered on samsung.com reboot your pc (wndows 7 usually doesn't ned a reboot) also it is possible that the phone may only utilise usb 2.0, had the same trouble the other day and fixed it by installing the usb driver.

i got a focus off craigslist and its been acting pretty weird. First it wont let me download any apps off the market, (but then i read the zune market is down or something so i let that slide), secondly i won't update. I dont know which version on wp7 im running, all the guy told me is that he factory reset it. So anyone out there, i need some help, also with updating to mango please.
Well all have to say is, its probably already up to date buddy. Go to settings, about, more info and read what os version it is. 7390 or 7392 you're up to date. And about the marketplace it was giving me trouble too.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Oh and if you need help finding your os version I strongly suggest you just wait till the official release of mango.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
If you want Mango, as ihatemyself said, wait for official release. If you can't wait, there are great guides to installing them in these forums. Don't forget to thank the OPs. Although I can tell you, once you go Mango, you can never go back. It's that good! I reverted to NoDo, only lasted 20 minutes! If you are afraid of bricking your phone, just download the official Roms also posted on these forums. I personally prefer the Rogers Rom, because AT&T Rom puts their junky programs and logo. Also, for some reason the Rogers Rom is faster on the web. I abuse my phone on tethering. If you are not tech friendly, stick with AT&Ts, since you don't need to enter APN or change network profiles for it to work. Hope this helps you.
Yeah, my phone is up to date, thanks by the way. And dl you know when the official mango update will be released, sometime this or next week?
No problem man. They're saying the 15th, but that could not be true. It could have been something to get people to stop asking. They pushed the September 1st date back, I wouldn't doubt its a possibility they'll do it again. But we can always hope they stay true this time.
