Is it possible to go from the official version from dell (318) back to the one that is located in the qdl tool ?
Just curious why would you want to do that? Just use qdl again to re-flash it.

I just rooted my streak as normal and now it will not boot.
When I turn it on, it just displays ''dell'' but stays there forever.
I flashed it before and it was fine but now it is stuck.
Any way I can fix this?
i am no expert, but you'll have to give a lot more information than that
16.?
2.1 ?
versions
how did you flash?
how did you root?
to "fix" your Streak, reverting back to the Update.pkg should get you back working

2.1
Build 6267
How can I flash it when there is no superboot 6267 version yet?
Basically What happened is I upgraded my streak from 1.6 to 2.1
I downloaded root explorer but it would NOT work as my streak was not rooted.
I then rooted my streak using superboot but it was for the old version 3883.
The phone did not boot after this. I then tried superboot for build 4399, same thing the streak gets stuck on the dell logo.
I then looked for build 6267 which is what I have but it does not exist.
I wanted to root my streak with the new 2.1 version but it failed and ever since I'm stuck with the dell logo.
I know I can simply reinstall 2.1 but I will have to reinstall all my apps and set my phone up again.
Is there any way I can recover or somehow go back to the build of 6267 WITHOUT losing anything or reinstalling?
The last thing I want to do is reinstall 2.1 all over again...
I just reinstalled 2.1
Works fine now only I need to put all my apps back on as well as configure/setup all the settings...
I am noob in phone flashing. but after goin thru all sources online.. I tried flashing my Streak 5.
I tried rooting with "SuperOneClick2.2", but it was not detecting phone model or so.. So I tried Superboot... after android interface drivers installation.. phone was decteced in FASTBOOT mode and message in phone showed root installed.
After that, my phone is continually flashing the buttons & showing DELL's white logo on the black background.
All procedures were followed to the dot. However, as suggested in the post & elsewhere, I "factory-resetted" the device. Not worked. I then reverted back to the Android 2.2 "Update.pkg" I had in the sd card. Update was done as usual. But the phone just didn't get ON.
That was yesterday. Well today, all of a sudden, when I tried to on the phone, it started!!!!
But new problem, the phone is not rooted. Checked out with the Android emulator. Tried the whole procedure. Went through the same steps. Problem repeated. Solved. Again & again.. the phone refuses to be ROOTED!!!
What could be the problem?
First of all dont bump a year old thread,
secondly superboot will brick the streak as it's designed for a different rom,
thirdly use the guides on xda/wiki to reinstall with a update.pkg,
fourthly there's a guide halfway down the page currently in the dev section on how to root correctly
Use superone click
One click rooting methods are not infallible. The recommended way to root is to manually install StreakMod Recovery then Superuser.zip.
I just got a Dell Streak today and used superboot to root it. After following the instructions my Dell Streak is stuck at the dell logo with the home and menu button flashing. Whats going on? I tried search for similar problem fix but was unable to find it.

Superboot is designed for an old and specific version of 1.6 and 2.1
Its not good to use it.
There are hundreds of posts on here modaco about it.
The problem is a mismatch of kernel(boot.img) and baseband
To repair it you need to flash the correct boot.ing for your build version.
Superoneclick is The best current way of rooting
I would seriously recommend spending a lot longer reading
Just picked up an unlocked dell streak. I'm running 2.1, and when im going to about phone- system updates and it keeps saying no new software.
I checked dell's website and it says all unlocked devices should now have 2.2
and what is this about 309 devices and 318 devices and how do i check which version do i have?
can anyone help me get 2.2 on my streak?
Mate there are a lot of threads and walk troughs on the dell streak that will get you to 2.2 very easily
I would suggest you spend time reading as much as you can so first you understand how to upgrade and how to use the PC with fast boot
Knowledge is your Friend
You need to flash the 309 loader to your phone. You use fastboot to do so.
Then save 318 update.pkg to your sd card
Do a battery pull and hold both volume buttons to go to recover menu.. hit upgrade option 2 wait and your done.
I will post a link when I pop on my pc

Qdl gives you 305. From there you can go to the latest US release of 318. Check out streakdroid.com for info on using qdl to update your streak.

If you can get into recovery mode try doing a factory reset from there and then apply the official update from the stock recovery.You can get the 309 recovery image from this page if you need it (in case you have flashed clockwork or streakdroid recovery). Here is what I would do:
Flash stock recovery (if you don't have it)
Factory reset from recovery
Install the Dell 318 pkg file from recovery (rename it to update.pkg and put it in the root of the sdcard)
I rooted 318 with SuperOneClick V 1.5.5. I had to take my SD card out of the phone for it to work.
Thanks so much for your help,very nice post.That 318 is mandatory if you want to be able to browse a bunch of websites without any annoying message regarding too many connections.
you can also use the QDL tool on streakdroid.com and it will get you back to the stock O2 build and from their upgrading to 318 is a simple as doing to dell's website and downloading it via the web browser.... you don't even have to mess with renaming to update.pkg... just download 318 and hit install.... don't make this complicated folks... its really not that hard
my streak has a major problem but dont know what to do it says random errors and after i reset it it erases all info like if it goes factory reset ive tried diffrent steves roms but same thing. i tried going back to stock but read instructions on how to downgrade but only got as far as 2.1 and after that streak never recognize the other step and i also tried to do the qdl tool but i keep getting fails. please help i have white streak dont know if its the actual streak but how can i go back to stock so i can atleast ship it to dell to fix. thanks
Ok give.a.little more description like what version are u on when u had the issues, are u getting fc's? What methods u used, etc. u might not have to downgrade or send to dell.
I restored it with qdl tool but im still getting an error but this time it had an error with the settings and then I turned off the streak and it didnt want to load it would get stuck on the dell logo it wotks on average of about two days before I get an error message that makes it not load after the fcs.
