Please Post in the Correct Forums
Moving to General
Use these instructions but use the 319 2.2 instead of the 2.1 in the instructions:

(sorry, cant post links yet)
I did this on my locked att streak and 319 is running great.

i dowloaded the uk r2 rom update but where do i need to drag the update to my phone
Couldn't you have just asked in 1 thread? Seems this is the 3rd thread (or at least in page 1) from you asking about upgrading to the new firmware. Anyway, I followed these instructions to do the update.
I have not seen any instructions that deal with this phone. This phone has root access and Cyanogen 3.6.6/xdan (Android 1.5). To upgrade to the latest you do not need to root the phone, it is already.
You need to Update the Recovery image as explained here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#Cyanogen_Recovery_Image
(Do not follow the whole page, just the "Cyanogen Recovery Image" section.
Then you you can upgrade the system as explained here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_ADP1_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#Flash_Android_1.6_.26_the_Latest_version_.28stable.29
(Do not do the whole page just the "Flash Android 1.6 & the Latest version (stable)" section.
If anyone cares can you fix my links. I wanted to share this but I may not need to come back here again. Hope it helps someone.
what if upgrade from a stock tim htc dream?so far as i know the bootloader(HBOOT-1.38.0000) prevent downgrading to rc29/rc7
Does that phone differ in hardware at all?
I'm trying to find out if it'll do hsdpa on 1700/2100, required for my provider.

I've got the TIM branded phone (I'm in Aus on Optus also). So this phone comes with root access out of the box? That may explain my problems trying to downgrade to rc7/rc29. Did you buy yours through Optus or online?
Seems very little web info in english about getting Cyanogen on this phone (probably cos Aus seems to be only english speaking country to use it?)

well. there are enough people using it in Asia (transported from Hong Kong I think), but mostly the new informations about these are in Chinese.
Seems it's already rooted, but other than that, there's no difference with older versions.

Hi Everyone,
I have an HTC Desire 8182 running Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC 1. Absolutely love the phone. However, I just ordered a Dell Streak direct from Dell (but locked to Rogers - Canada). Unfortunately, this Streak will be stuck at 1.6, and I really would like to get Dell's new release of 2.2 since the reviews coming in are so good.
I would like to stick to Dell's release of 2.2 since everything will be guaranteed ( or at least almost guaranteed ) to work, instead of a custom ROM. However, as I understand it - Dell's release is only available OTA.
My question is - is there any way I can download and install Dell's 2.2 manually in Canada? I have Googled for a solution, but it seems that since 2.2 has been released in the US - there aren't too many people asking about this.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks

look in the general section of this forum, there are instructions on how to install the official dell 2.2 on any streak.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I went through one of the stickies in this forum that directed me to go to MoDaCo. At MoDaCo I found this thread :
android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/323902/official-dell-streak-rom-overview/
It basically has links to different .pkg files that are hosted on Dell's Update Server.
Two questions:
1.I thought Dells Update Server wouldn't allow you to download the update unless you used their Desktop program. Or can I just download it regardless?
2.Is it as easy as flashing the .pkg file?
Help please
Anybody here living in Toronto, Canada that really knows the ways of ROM upgrading for the Dell Streak. If you could help me install the official 2.2 update from Dell, I will be more than happy to give you a cash donation in exchange for ROM upgrading service for my Unlock Beta Dell Streak with a baseband of GAUB1A120521-US and currently running on DJSteve's 2.2 version1
We can meet up at malls like Eaton Centre or Yorkdale Mall or coffee shops at Toronto area for you to do the ROM updating on my streak
Please pm me your number, so we can set up the meet up as soon as possible.
Thanks.
While the rest of you guys have been tinkering and hacking your Dell Streaks for quite a few months now, those of us in Canada have only just started getting our Dell Streaks through the Rogers network.
Unfortunately Dell is shipping these Streaks with the Baseband numbered as 7921 - and very little, and in some cases, zero tutorials or information is available on doing anything with this Baseband.
Having come from an HTC Desire that has been ridiculously easy to root and modify, I am pleading, almost begging for the Dell Streak community here on XDA to help out with any solid clues and/or tips to working with 7921.
Even the Superboot method doesn't have any files available for 7921. As of now, I can't root this thing unless I just take a blind chance with some other Baseband's superboot method.
Having read some other forum posts, both here and on MoDaCo ( and believe me, I have used the search feature to go through every related post possible ) - I know that there are a few people out there who have managed to root 7921 and even upgrade, but nobody has posted a single solid tutorial.
Please?
A few tips, some guidance, maybe a tutorial?
Pretty please?
Anyone?
Im in this boat. Ive tried everything i cannot get this thing to upload a update.pkg i can flash recoveries no problem, nothing seems to work i have tried going to o2 1.6 will not flash o2 2.1 nothing. mostly i get the status 7 error while its trying to flash assert failed /tmp/boot.img
I rooted with universal androot.
actually does anyone have the "original" recovery that came with a 7921 device?
Can you try using this : mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg
smoku on #dellstreak – freenode on IRC suggested it. This should also flash the AMSS and I'm presuming that it will change your baseband to 00. That should open up the possibility of updating to Dell 2.2 or Steve's ROM.
But I can't confirm this until you try it first.. let me know please?
Well I still have a Virgin 7921 phone, if I can figure out how to extract the recovery image. I've never done that before..
I bought mine a few weeks ago and I followed a couple of tutorials in this forum and the modaco forum as well... I was able to change my baseband to 00 and after that update to stock 2.2 .... now I'm running the 318 build and i'm very happy with it....
Just search for the guide to downgrade to baseband 00 is a little tricky but it works... at the end you will have enough experience to move to any build or baseband.

Hi Ivancho,
Is there any chance you could provide us with the exact link to the directions you used? I've read so many different sets of the instructions that I'm confused now. I swear, if I can successfully get 2.2 on this without screwing it up I will write a full blown walk through myself

FOTA Model name mismatch, rebooting in 30 seconds.
got that while trying to flash the above.
Dammit. Sorry. Was hoping that would work. Kind of getting demoralized with this now.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!do this. i just finished and now am at build 6601! This works!

scroll down till u get to where it says
if you just wanted to revert to O2 1.6 (build 4399) then you are done. If you are going to AT&T 1.6 (build 6601) we have to change the system so it will upgrade the the AT&T ROM.
My original Streak was 1.6 which I was able to move to the official version of Froyo easily with QDL tool. I recently sent it in and received a replacement that had AT&T's crippled 2.2 on it. I really liked the official. Stage was better and I had hotspot and tethering. Now I don't. I have looked for a way to get the 00 base band from 31 while already at froyo but haven't found a clear answer how to do it. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Most stock ROMs available at the Streak section of the XDA wiki.
You want to read this:
Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
I would suggest that you try baseband 351 for a stock ROM. The Streak links in my signature might be useful.

Watch out Marvin, theres a troll eSZee. It willl crawl out and quickly tell us that we cant use and dont need to remind anyone of "wiki" links, then it scurries back under that rock under the bridge, lol.
Meantime thanks for that reference link. I have used that too and located a download for a build 14844 that I was looking for . I am rolling back from a 15697 build that reduced my volume drastically.

Sorry
I am sorry to say you have gone from an unlocked or uk streak and now you have a locked streak through you carrier, this is no problem as you still can flash the official rom although you have to downgrade it to 1.6 at&t and then to 1.6 o2 and then 2.1 o2 and then 2.2 o2. Sorry but I haven't got the time to tell you exactly what to do but there are dj steve forums on modacado that you could use skipping the last step!!!
Glad I could help Stevepork
If the replacement Streak was shipped to you with Android 2.2 you do not have to revert to Android 1.6 to install any of the Android 2.x roms.
You can install a 00 ROM on a locked phone. It will not unlock the phone from your carrier, but it will have the features of the unlocked ROM. If the phone you have is carrier locked you will have to unlock it to use another carrier's SIM. I don't have any experience with carrier unlocking, I bought my Streak unlocked direct from Dell.
nameyourflav, what carrier are you with?
