Hey guys
Was bored so rooted my phone the other day (thanks to everyone who's posted help files on here ) but now 1.6 has been released in the UK, I want the update. I've found a guide on how to unroot but it only provides links to the US files - any idea where I can get the original G1 1.5 UK ROM to flash back to stock (and, if neccessary, the recovery, too?)
Thanks
Thinking about it, I guess I could follow the guidance to root my phone (not using the 1-click method) but then it would take hours to get back to 1.5 and then 1.6 and, persumably, wipe my data (not ideal but if neccessary...)
Why not flash a 1.6 ROM?
Im using Cyanogen 4.1.999, thats 1.6 ish

Exactly what Adrian said. Why not go to a 1.6 rom on here.
Also Adrian aint you suppose to be in school. It's a lil early to see you on here.
Like the title says My streak says that 1.6 is the latest version!?

Edit: Just realised I typed 2.2 in title, I mean 2.1!

You can download and install the 2.1 package yourself. The o2 one works fine. 8105 is the build.

I had a thread on here a few days ago about my failed attempt that bricked it, luckily got help to get it to boot 2.2 again which was good.
I'm now wondering whether anyone has manged to successfully downgrade an O2 locked one from 2.2 to 1.6? Like I said I tried but couldn't get it to work, if anyone has managed it would love to know!
no one? I'd be surprised!

If you have the 1.6 recovery there should be no problem, plenty of threads floating around here and modaco that will have the 01 1.6 recovery and 1.6 ROM
I can go from 2.2 Dell unlocked down to 1.6 noooo problem so it should be ok for you on 02 Its all to do with the recovery just make sure you have the right one

heloo... i had unlock my dell streak with using dj steve 1.5.1 rom.. but i cannot 3g anymore juz can i use 2g... any idea for tis ?
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.

This is a confusing post LUFC What am I upgrading to in the 1st place? Are you saying once I have O2 4399, then flash 309 recovery, then 318 Update.pkg?

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.

Nevermind, really, im sticking to what ive got until the official us version comes out. So, another 6 months then
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.......

There is an upgrade and downgrade guide in the android development section. Easy to follow too.
