Did someone try to install this update on Rogers Streak?
if i am the only nerd then i am going to go ahead and give it a try.
should work.. all streak are basically the same.. branding only refers to stuff inside the rom so it wouldnt make a difference

I have an O2 UK DELL STREAK with 2.1 build 8105 on it which has been unlocked by RebelSIM using their postal unlock service.
So I use my STREAK with my contract ORANGE SIM card without the use of a Rebel SIM II any longer.
However, whilst I expected my baseband to change to 00...it did not. It has reamined the same at 21.
This means, as I understand it, correct me if I am wrong here please, that when I check for updates to the phone, my STREAK tells the DELL servers I have an O2 STREAK (baseband 21) and therefore can not get the OTA update.
Does this mean I have to wait for O2 to release their version of Froyo..sometime mid-December maybe ?
Or is there another route to Froyo ? bearing in my mind I do not want or need any O2 branding/configuration as I do not and never will be using the O2 network with my STREAK.
Many many thanks to any help/advice anyone can offer.
I am quite techno-literate, but if any one is going to start talking fastboot, flashing ROMS etc. please can they provide step by step instructions don't want to end up with a bricked STREAK.
Not to sound arsey, but did you even bother to read any of the other threads? Everything you need is already outlined in other threads.
You need to do some research, this guide layes it out step by step to get to a custom 2.2 ROM. You have an O2 streak (baseband ending in 21). Only way to change baseband is by flashing new ROM, its not changed by using a different sim.

Hey everyone, I'm interested in finding out how to flash my Rogers 1.6 Dell Streak to 2.2. Looking for the easiest and quickest way to get this done.
I've looked at streakdroid, modaco and these forums and none explain how to get this done clearly. I've tried flashing clockwork mod twice now (once with fastboot, once by rooting). No luck.
I was hoping to backup my 1.6 image prior to doing anything so that if I needed to revert back, I could.
So, how do I do this? I'm on baseband GAUSB1A111732-US with build 7921. What are the exact steps to get 2.2, and still retain voice-calling functionality?
Bro, I see some people messing around and trying to do this the hard way. I was like you reading bull**** all night.
just follow my earlier post. I live in Alberta and my phone is a locked dell streak Rogers phone. Now its 2.2 Froyo with a "21" baseband from the O2 UK network. My phone works perfectly and its still locked to Rogers. I will unlock later on cause I have family in the UK and I want to just pop in a sim card from there.

I would like to try the Adeo ROM but before I try flashing the phone
I would like to have the original Bell ROM so I can revert back the changes.
Does anyone have the original ROM?
Thanks
George
I see the "do not use on Bell atrix" has been removed from the page. Lemme know how she goes
As far as I know there is no release of Bell SBF. I can confirm the two SBF in the development session will not work on Bell Atrix.
Yea, I would like the bell stock firmware as well.
I accidently deleted one of the motoblur system apps and now my phone won't work.
Bell SBF
Just wondering those SBF files I see in the forums did they come from motorola? How did people get there hands on them?
Would be nice to have one for our Bell phones, knowing where the ATT guys got theres from might help.
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.

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?
i have a galaxy s which i flashed to remove t-moble branding, now not sure why but i can't get wifi working so want to go back to stock firmware. the problem is which is the correct version for me.
my phone is galaxy s gt-i9000 and was originally locked to to t-mobile UK. i'm looking on the stock firmware and odin guide but i haven't got a clue which one is suitable. i've also got a message in kies saying that 'your device does not support software upgrading via kies'.
please can someone advise me how to get the phone working correctly again? don't care if i have to go back to t-mobile branding as look as it works with wifi.
Hi Rincal...
first question.. did you have your galaxys unlocked to make it sim free by a shop or market seller.. if you havent.. this will cause problems, so make sure you get that done.. its about £15.
2nd) The latest stock firmware is 2.3.6.. the xda team have Eu stock ROM threads.. look in "development", but if you cant find it.. use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596 - although i think there will be a newer version out now.. in the PIT folder, use PIT-512.
Here is a full abc flash guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
Follow it to the letter, this is how I learned.. even though Ive had no problems, you flash your sgs rom at your own risk.. make sure you read it through first before you flash anything and always backup your data 1st.
Please note: This is not my work.. please thank and respect the xda teams named in the threads.
If anyone reading this thread can give better guides or links, please point the way
Good luck

hi NightOrchid
i used a market app called galaxy s unlock to unlock it myself. it was working find after that, the problems started after rooting and flashing.
i'll try your suggestions and let you know the outcome. i've already tried flashing with a few firmwares but always have the wifi problems. should say that apart from wifi and kies the rest of the phone seems to work ok with other firmwares.
