Ok, I just bought a Dell Streak from Rogers Wireless, it has 1.6. Seeing how this update seems to never come, I would like to get the New Froyo build on it. I have rooted a Nexus One before and got Froyo running on it before it was released so my knowledge isn't totally bad. But all these forums and post all over Modaco and XDA are really confusing me. I have no idea where to start. You know, step 1 type thing. Can anyone help me out. This is a locked, un modded streak. Ill update my progress as I go along. Thanks for any help.
Its actually not too difficult. I followed the instructions outlined here.

Remove the - from the beginning and end of the comment.
Basically we go from Rogers 1.6 to o2 1.6 - then from o2 1.6 to o2 2.1 then from 2.1 to Steven's 2.2 (1.1.1 update) then to 2.2 (1.3) all the while following the instructions on how to use fastboot and recovery.
Be sure to note (i had this problem) when you finally get to 2.2, there are people including myself who have been stuck at the Dell logo on boot up. This is fixed by going into the recovery app and mounting the SD card as well as Data. This can also be fixed by a Factory Reset in the same recover options (holding left/right volume at boot)
Hope that helps.
Not Development so will move to General
One thing to keep in mind is that Although 1.3 is great its not without its issues. I'm having trouble with certain built in apps crashing (ie. Camera in HD Record mode)
Ok Im reading the guide. It looks like it will get the job done, but the guide STARTS from and ATT 1.6 or and O2 1.6, I did notic that half way through it talks about downgrading to the 1.6 O2 Rom, so would I use that method to Start from Rogers 1.6 to 02 1.6?
ok now i need help,
I did everything perfect till i got to the Froyo 2.2 (1.1.1) i couldn't for the life of me get my data to work, it just crashed everytime i put in the APN. So I reverted back to 2.1 O2, and now I can't get Clockwork recovery to come up, so i can't move forward again. When I hold the volume and power i get the 4 options. BUT when i click on the update.pkg I get a Android recovery thing in blue that was to do an emergancy recovery and the click to the camera button to start. I can't get a customer recovery back on for the life of me. Someone HELP!

Somebody posted something in the streak forum about a nandroid backup. When I got mine stuck at the Dell logo trying to jump from stock AT&T 1.6 to steves froyo 1.4.6, I used that to restore my phone to stock. It wasn't 100 percent at that point. I had the flashing led's and couldn't get a network signal. From there I used homies guide to upgrade my streak and flashed the o2 1.6 rom. That fixed it. I am now sporting the unlocked version of froyo on my streak.
Stick with it. Read the forums. You can fix it.
Hope that helps.
Hi i just received a streak (Rogers) with 1.6 7921.
I tried all of the recovery images but they all went to a black screen. The only one that seemed to boot was clockwork 1.8.17 but never did anything.
So i tried to install a super boot that has done something bad as after i tried to goto ATT 1.6 as stated in most of the guides i would always get the "write raw image fail with error 7.
now after installing superboot i cannot get back to the stock rogers 1.6 , all i get now is dell logo screen with the home and menu lights flashing.
updating this device is very confusing to me ive followed most things but i suppose im missing something, maybe cause its rogers? maybe someone with a rogers device can help?
can i remove the superboot at least to get it back to booing into android?
Not Android Development
Please post in th correct forum

Ok my rogers streak has baseband 732-us can someone please let me know how i get this to froyo (current 1.6) ive tired almost everything on this site to get it to work, i get as far as it loading te update.pkg but then i get the status 7 assert failed /tmp/boot.img error message.
im trying to goto O2 1.6 which i think is correct.

Hey there,
I realize there are a ton of posts about the Dell Streak being stuck at the dell logo and I've spent hours trying to read through them and try each issue.
My issue is that I'm stuck at the dell logo. Earlier today i was bored with 1.6 and was about to update to 2.1 and then eventually 2.2.
Everything went smoothly, and i was quite impressed, until i realized my SIM wasnt being recognized after i did the official O2 2.2 upgrade. I'm using a rebelsim so i thought it would work? :/ regardless, I decided it was in my best interest to just go back to 1.6 until i had time to try to get dj_steve's working. In the process of trying to revert back, i'm stuck at the logo. I even tried doing a nandroid restore from a fellow with a rogers backup on this site and I end up getting and error "Error while formatting DATADATA: !". When i try to boot the device, same old stuck logo...
I'm really out of options. i've spent hours upon hours trying so many different things and could really use a hand. If it helps, i'm on the Telus network on a Rogers streak. Before all this, everything was working except MMS.
Thanks in advance, all!

After many, MANY hours, I believe I've fixed it. Although it seemed my Streak had nothing, and I thought i had wiped it..., the only thing that worked was downgrading back to the 8105 2.1 build, which sucks in my opinion... but at least my phone isn't bricked anymore.
I am experiencing this problem. I was @ 2.2, then attempted to downgrade back to 1.6 as Rogers has released their official 2.2. Going from 2.1 Build 8105 to 1.6 Build 4399 seems to have screwed me up.
I am unable to get past the boot screen. I tried reloading the 2.1 and the 1.6 build but to no avail. HELP!!!
OK, got myself out of the stuck @ Dell Logo/Stuck at black screen during update.pkg jam.
Just QDL the sucker.
Now, how do I install the official Rogers 2.2 update after using the QDL tool?
Can I just download and install, or what do I need to do to revert back to some version to be able to install the Official Rogers 2.2 update?

Some have reverted all the way back to 1.6. There is this solution offered at Modaco.
I have an unlocked Streak, so no experience with either method.
I get the Blank screen and the logo screen. I think i need the 1.6 update.pkg Build 7921. If anyone knows or can send it to me I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.
If anyone can see a wrong in my method please do point it out.
When I get 1.6 update.pkg Build 7921
Do I:
Flash the 309 Recovery image
Than install 1.6 update.pkg from the main device menu
that should make it work?
What? ....explain more thoroughly what you attempted...and what you did

I rooted my dell streak 1.6 Build 7921 using Z4root. I know it didn't work on my device because i tried running some rooted apps and it didnt run. I tried rooting with Android Universal and it worked! Couple of weeks after i got the OTA update for Android 2.2 Froyo for Dell Streak with Rogers communications.
I tried to install the update, and if i remember correctly, my phone went to a blank screen and was stuck there for long time, I than put update.pkg 2.2 Froyo the OTA update on Micro SD CARD. ON my device I went into the factory reset options by holding volume keys>power button.
I factory reset my device, and rebooted my device with the SD CARD in it and tried installing the "update.pkg" from the main menu option(Option 2) Since than my device wont go pass the DELL LOGO every time I boot.
Its been a weeks time since that happened now in the root of my sd card I have Clockworkmod and update.zip files of 1.6 Build 7921, I also tried flashing 309 Recovery image and a lot of different update.pkg files and still haven't figured out, how to fix my problem.
do you actually have 7921 files? could you upload them? they're not available anywhere if you actually have them
I got my phone equipped with 1.6 Build 7921 but now it doesn't even go pass the DELL LOGO
