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.

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!

OTA's are staged out in batches, not all at once. T-Mobile has sold about a million of these phones at this point (given that Samsung claims 3 million SGS Phones sold in the U.S. this is entirely likely). They are most definitely NOT going to update a million phones at the same time.
The update for YOU could come now, tomorrow, next week, or before the end of the month. Sitting here in a thread hitting refresh hoping for vital info about the OTA is a complete waste of time.
You have four options...
1). Wait for the OTA, which will arrive whenever it arrives
2). Frankin Twiz, built on JI6
3). Bionix 1.6, built on JI6
4). leaked unmodified JI6 firmware
Options 2,3,4 will get you JI6 today, with the associated risks of taking the management of the update into your hands. Option 1 is the official option which requires nothing but patience. Decide.
Wonder if I could call T-mobile and naively ask about a GPS problem and see if they will go ahead and push JI6 to me?
Nope nothing in WA I sure hope I won't have to wait til the end of the month....

Ha! You think customer care or tech care have that much power? The people in tmo who do, ssg data, don't take any calls and if they want to, never actually have to talk to the customer at all. They work solely on trouble tickets and work orders. The highest you may get by calling tech is atsg, the people who submit trouble tickets to them.

Did you have lagfix installed? That could be the problem.
On another note, why are so many people waiting patiently for the OTA? Just flash one of the leaks. Bionix 1.6 is well worth it! And you can always ODIN back to stock!

It looks like it bricked my GF's phone also, now im sitting here trying to wipe it. Hers is all stock except it is rooted, no ROMs or lag fixes etc.
I got off the phone with tech support at T Mobile a few hours ago and here is what they related to me. Your inability to get checkin succeeded may or may not be usual or normal, they have no clue and the OTA is scheduled to run from 10-7 thru 10-31. has anyone else or does anyone else have the same inability to get feedback from the checkin code? This is the only phone I have had that the checkin failed to register except for a MT3g which they promptly replaced.
got the update today... no problems so far...
My stock (but rooted) T-Mobile Vibrant just start getting an OTA! What could it be? Froyo perhaps? I'm undoing my lagfix just in case.

Wow~ I'm going to try it through Kies Mini.
Kies Mini stopped seeing my phone altogether after the last update. Windows just sees it as a dumb thumb drive (cause the drivers are installed, ofc).
But if someone who's phone works can post if Kies mini even tells them there's an update available that would be nice.
It usually gives the basebane of the update, and that can/would tell us what it is.

When I came into my store yesterday our demo Vibrant had 'DM arrows' showing but had already been upgraded. I went ahead and "told it" to upgrade. Nothing changed.
The phone already had the upgraded market as well, so I don't know what's up with these showing up.
A short story
At home, I have this big ol' gang of dogs. They all want me to throw the tennis ball. One of the dogs is a little smarter than the others. He has learned from experience the throw might be a fake out. The rest of the dogs NEVER learn and always go running off after the phantom ball. The smart one just stands there waiting and continuing to watch. (Or maybe he checks his Twitter feed; I'm not 100% sure.)
When I really do throw the ball, he is the one who always gets to it first.
The moral of the story is: Keep an eye on the smarter dog.
(PS... I think that damn dog just hacked my credit card... unless one of you guys just sent me 800 pounds of cubed Kobe beef...)
Just Bricked my Phone
I got this DM update and said yes , install, reboot , etc... The install "failed" and rebooted. Now I can't get past the Vibrant screen and logcat basically shows me a kernel panic/fail and keeps repeating itself.
I had rooted my phone and had Ryan's OCLF installed and configured. Any ideas how to get back to stock firmware and try again ?
What version were you coming from? 2.1? If so I bet the kernel failed updating and 2.1 and 2.2 kernels are not compatible with each other.
Coming from 2.1 ... hoping I can push a stock firmware image to my sdcard and boot into recovery - searching for links in the forum but no luck yet

Funny... if you call AT&T customer service and ask about the 2.2 update, you can actually hear the representative getting that "glassy eyed" blank, "rabbit in the headlights" look when you try to explain what you are looking for. AND then, you can expect to be guided through a long, boring script of "Have you checked the settings.. Have you restarted the device..." and whatnot, only to be told, two hours later that the update is still in production and no actual date has been set for the release for the update.
Better to spend that two hours beating your head against the wall, or poking yourself in the eye with a spoon... It will be less painful, and more amusing for you.

Don't hold your breath, AT&T has not released 2.2 for ANY Android device. 2.2 for the Captivate was supposed to launch back in October, and that phone is sold in retail corporate stores unlike the Streak. Just use the QDL method, you'll be glad you did!

"Cheating" is a very nice way of stating it. Personally, I believe that they are felonious bastards that are stealing from us.
Other than apple, anyone waiting on a carrier to release something, is going to be in for a long wait!
Do yourself a favor, read up on the qdl-repair tool, download it, and get the 309?
version of 2.2, then update using the update tool to 318, you'll be glad you did!
The only "glitch" is if you are running the x64 version of windows. I followed the instructions TO THE T, on both my home & laptop x64 win7 and had zero problems updating via qdl.

I don't understand these statements that it rolled out today, but it will take some time. Does that mean that some AT&T customers will get the update starting today then others will slowly start getting it? If so, why not let everyone get it at the same time?
hey guys. at&t user here. instead of waiting around for the official OTA update to 2.2 that we've been waiting to see come down the pipes for months with nothing to show for it, i decided to take matters into my own hands. I called up dell and told them my streak was stuck at the boot screen. The nice tech support lady told me run the factory recovery, (i didn't, just keep playing hot pursuit) and i told her there was no change. she immediately set me up for an exchange. So in 3 days (1 day processing, 2 day shipping UPS at no cost to me) i will receive a new streak and hopefully it will come pre-installed with the 2.2 update.
i will let you guys know if my plan works. and if not i'll get a new streak just the same.
and ya i could get 2.2 on there through flashing of 3 different roms but i really don't feel like going through that trouble when they can mail me one with it pre-installed.
cheers
couldnt just do the 2.2 update yourself?

You also may be faced with the issue of it not being "broken". And they might decide to bill you...
Another thing to consider is the fact that you originally ordered an AT&T locked model. They will likely just send another AT&T locked model which I can tell you will still have 1.6 as I just received mine today and it as laden with 1.6.
This tactic is full of assumptions and totally without any precedence that it will work.
Full of Fail.
first of all they send me anew one before i send back my old one. second i don't really feel like wasting time going through the headache of updating a phone's rom 3 times just to get a buggy unofficial version of the rom. i can root the official and get rid of bloatware in a matter of 1 minute. second i get a brand new phone no matter what. no scratches or dings.
i'm not 15 anymore. i have a life and i cant be bothered with doing all these little mods and tweaks and ****. i have a life outside of technology.

LOL I am not 15, I work 60 hours a week, and play soccer 2 twice a week.
I guess but ur standard I have a lot of time in my hand.
I got the phone 2 weeks ago and run a quadrant test, and wasn't satisfied with it performance. Took me exactly 20 mins to upgrade to did Steve's version. Phone has actually not crashed once yet and its running better than the official 2.2.

i told myself i was going to wait for at&t no matter what but after about the third or fourth lie/letdown i joined streakdroid. and i did it back when you had to go through the entire process of eu1.6>eu2.1>flash recovery blah blah>and so forth. now its pretty much a 2 step process.
just my sound opinion
Not surprising at all. Those waiting have the opportunity along time ago to take matters into their on hand and get 2.2. FORGET AT&T and all those empty promises. Unleash the power of your Streak and don't get your device held hostage...lol
Yeah I too held out for a while. Now I think back on the doughnut build 1.6 and realize how outdated and bland it was so I gave up and did myself a favor and QDL and I have never looked back. By the time the official 2.2 ATT is released you'll have no choice but to go to a custom Rom because that will be outdated. Streakdroid is the way to go. I'm practically running full Gingerbread now on my Streak and couldn't be happier, Oh wait 1.7.0 is on its way imagine that.

I totally agree with Carlos. I was a bit hesitant at first but after doing the qdl upgrade, my streak brought out its true potential.

My only fear is bricking it, how easy/hard is it to brick the Streak? Waiting on mine, it has been ordered directly from DELL.

Ahh, your just like me. I just got my phone and I fear of rooting it. I had no problem with rooting HTC phones but I'm a little scared of rooting the streak.
Same here. I had no probs with flashing roms on my Fuze, Tilt and Tilt II... It just seems that there is way too much to do when it comes to flashing android devices.

The hardest part is getting the drivers set up on your computer. Everything else just falls into place. It is very rare to completely brick your Streak, most people just give up on it and return their Streak. And even if you think you have bricked your Streak, the QDL will fix that and at the same time put you on 2.2 Froyo.

QDL is so easy
I was waiting and waiting for this Official OTA Update. After all these ''Official release dates'' came and went, I decided to bite the bullet and use the QDL tool. It was so freakin easy. The video given is perfect and the steps are so easy. Screw AT&T......do the QDL.
FROYO on the streak is legit.
Russian soulja, didnt u buy the unlocked streak? If so u should already have the ota. Att locked devices are the ones that are still waiting.
Also, rooting a dell isn't any more difficult than rooting an htc

Yes i bought my dell streak directly from dell unlocked and it already came loaded with 2.2 froyo on it. but that's not why i want to root my phone. i want to root my phone for other reasons like to have the App2SD feature and also to be able to flash different rom's and themes on it. but like i said i fear the root part with the dell streak all other android devices that ran on HTC phones i never had a problem with. can you guys link me to the easiest tutorial on how to root it with maybe a video guide if avaliable. for some reason i always found it easier to follow a video rather then read something off a page lol. call me crazy but that's the way i am don't ask. by reading the posts on here i've noticed people who go to Theunlockr.com always find themselfs in a boot loop so i dont wanna trust that site with my phone even tho i always turned to that site as far as rooting goes for HTC brand phones that ran android.

What version of 2.2 are you running? Rooting stock Froyo is simple, install the drivers from here and download version 1.5.5 of SuperOneClick from here. MUST BE VERSION 1.5.5 - ALL NEWER VERSIONS I TRIED FAILED TO ROOT.
Once the driver is installed, extract SuperOneClick, run the exe and click root. If rooting fails, you need to fix your drivers. Right click on My Computer and click manage. In Device Manager, under Android Phone, if the device is called Android Composite ADB Interface you need to change the driver.
Right click and select Update Driver, choose install from a specific location and select don't search. On the next screen, uncheck the box to show compatible hardware.
You should be able to see two devices:
Android Composite ADB Interface and;
Android ADB Interface.
You want to select Android ADB Interface and click next. Wait for the drivers to install (takes a few minutes) and attempt to root again with SuperOneClick v1.5.5.
This is how I successfully rooted my Streak running Official 322 build.
