[Q] Question about flashing 2.2 from an older 2.2 image

Hi there, I've searched a lot for an answer, but haven't found anything. I don't want to make a mistake and end up with an unusable device.
I bought a used Streak off eBay, which is already running Android 2.2 (Baseband GAUSB1A130900-EU build number 11548). I am having problems authorising Facebook widgets, which I believe is linked to a problem loading HTTPS sites (needed to authorise some Facebook widgets such as the LauncherPro one).
I would like to upgrade to this rom:
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...o-com/325595/dell-new-official-rom-8-12-2010/
Which apparently solves the above problem.
Could anyone talk me through what is required? The problem is I don't know what has been done to the handset before I bought it, is there any way to check? Does it need to be rooted to 'upgrade' from 2.2 to another 2.2 image? Do I just need to copy the new image to the SD card, rename it and boot into recovery mode? My desktop is running Ubuntu if that affects the procedure.
Any help is much appreciated.

You need to update your streak to build to 12332, the 315 package first. To do this just download it from xda-forums(I can't find which forum right now), rename it Update.pkg(should already have .pkg on end of it). Then boot into recovery by turning off Streak, then hold volume up & down & power button @ the same time. You should see 4 options, choose option 2(something about installl Update.pkg). Your phone will then ask you to press the camera button to begin update.

Thanks a lot for the reply. After I've installed the image you suggest is it then safe to install the one I originally linked to?
Is the rule to generally only upgrade one release at a time?
Thanks.

i just downloaded the 315 file from the dell website with the stock browser on the streak..then installed it by tapping the downloaded file in the top bar while my streak stayed connected to my pc with the usb cable....and did the same with the 318 file.
It has to reboot several times during the update but it works perfect.
no rooting, no recovery needed... i have also an unlocked euro version with 1.6 first.
-so 1.6 to 2.2 en now the latest 318 version.

Not necessary to update to 315 first. Just follow this link:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A111800
Worked perfect for me!

This post is correct. I forgot that you have the image already if you are on Froyo. Just follow the link from your phone and you should be fine

Great, thanks a lot guys.

Flashing Buttons After Update to Official 340 build

I decided to update my Streak to the official build 340 today and it installed but I now have the flashing lights thing.
I used the streakmod to install the update. I tried using rom manager to do it but it doesn't work.
Is there something I can do to stop the flashing lights?

Oh, this might be because I didn't go back to 1.6 from 2.3 build 309.

Why are you guys going from an unlocked build to a locked at&t build? You're only gonna havebless features and more preinstalled at&t bloatware.

I am just trying the official build to see what it's like. I need my phone for work and can't really deal writh instability.
Is DJ Steve's latest build stable? I can't get a clear answer to that question.

Its different for each person. I started with a fresh 309 build then upgraded to a factory reset 318 and didn't configure anything then flashed 1.8.0 and had zero issues. Upgraded to 1.8.1 and still have zero issues. Everything works great on mine. I use it as my everyday phone. But like I said others haven't had it that smooth but I'm not sure if they came from a complete factory reinstall like I did.

Go check out the tutorial for using the QDL tool on streakdroid.com. It'll get you to a stock Dell 2.2. A word of advice though, the tutorial has you download all necessary drivers, but does not give the step for installing the ADB driver. The driver is there, you just have to pick the proper one for your system.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Yes I did the QDL tool thing and the hard part was getting the right drivers for the qualcom thing and then the ADB tool.
But, it worked. I briefly had streaddroid 1.8.1 on my system. It looked alright and my phone worked. I didn't test wifi though since I moved on to the QDL tool trying to get to 2.2.2 which I'm really confused about apparently.

Once you use QDL to get 2.2 make sure you do system updates after that to get up to the most current build.

Dell Streak Froyo 2.2.2 Build 341 How To For All!

Screw 318, 319, 339 (rogers), 340 (att) 2.2 roms...
With many hours wasted trying everything, I have finally gotten 2.2.2 AWS version to load properly on my Unlocked US Red Streak preloaded with 2.2 315...
here are the steps from any version..
1. Use QDL tool to go to 305 baseband 00. Get from steakdroid.com
2. Use 309 boot loaded located here http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/323792/309-recovery-image/
3. Download and rename Package 322 from dell to Update.pkg to your sd card. Download here http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_322_12947_11.pkg
3a. Reboot and hold both volume buttons and go to software upgrade. Upgrade to 322.
4. once loaded, go to this thread and follow directions and download the img files from Broken. Make sure to follow the MD5 guide in subsequent links to get the MD5 to work properly. (this is something good to learn either way )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970177
5. After copying the files in the right place on your sd card, reboot and with fastboot, load clockwork or streakmod recovery.. Streakmod folder is /sdcard/rom_backup/......
6. Go to nandroid and do a full restore, with streakmod you will get an error after system loads, don't worry, just reboot.
If all goes well you will be on baseband 11 (eu unlocked) and running build 341.
I can confirm with this baseband you do not have the flashing led lights like you have with baseband 318.
So glad I gave this one last try before giving up.
Methods to insanity that didn't work
-load 309 to 341 no dice
-load djsteve to 341 flashing leds
-load 318 to 341, flashing leds
- not to mention the hours wasted trying to get the nandroid restore to work with single files...
if you have any questions or problems, let me know. I will try and pop in once or twice a day...
Special thanks goes to..
Broken - for supplying the rom and trying to assist with help.
Themanii & homer4evr - for tips

*************** After a successful load... make sure to do a FACTORY RESET under settings/privacy... it appears there is some stuff left over from Broken***********************************

Krad, thank you for this information. Looks like you are using your Streak in US w/ ATT.
Have you thought about using the ATT official froyo build baseband (34031) instead of the HK's baseband 322? It is too late where I am now, I will re-read the other thread you linked and try the 34031 (ATT) baseband... Will report back.

Alright it's like 3am. I have successfully installed 305 using the QDL tool wich took a bit because of the issues with win7 64bit. At this point I think I understand how to get back to 1.6, and/or move forward to the eu version of 341. Sucks there isn't just a straight download for the 341 US update zip/pkg.
Oh well, will finish sorting this tomorrow. Night folks, or morning

You do not need to go to 1.6
you start from 2.2 305 qdl tool...
From there you load the 309 bootloader via fastboot
and then simply the default way of going to 322 via software upgrade.

A very special person is updating the dell streak wiki and on it it displays all versions of OS's and more importantly basebands... 00 for unlock us 11 for eu unlock, 31 for att.. etc
I had baseband 318_00 loaded and when I went to load this OS I got the flashing Led lights.. Everything worked, but it was annoying. After speaking to a few from Optus Aus. It dawned on me that they must be on a different baseband. I checked 322, which is unlocked for 00.. but it actually loads 11 baseband. Once i fired it up it worked great.
My guess is that you need a specific baseband to run the rom without the flashing led lights. We know this is an unlocked rom, but specifically for EU basebands... With that being said I don't think loading US ATT baseband from 340 will work. But it it worth a shot.
I have been on baseband 322, and have had zero issues with reception, etc... others have pointed out there wifi has better speeds.
I will be testing out the wifi hot spot today and gps to see how they go and report back.

I liked 322 and have almost zero problem too. It is definitely fast w/ 322. The only problem I have with it was it wont auto connect to ATT wifi hotspot. I cant even manual connect to the ATT wifi hotspot which is supposed to be free for us ATT user.
I will try the 340 now and report back. If it doesnt work, I will use the 322

Do you have the notification drop down issue? that annoyed me.

Krad,
Question: Do you use nandroid to selective restore all 4 files or just restore the system.img only as suggest in the "Root AWS Dell Streak 2.2.2 FRG83G" thread?
Thanks!

Now that you mention it, YES... I do have that problem.
BTW, I am following this direction on Modaco to goto ATT 340 from any Froyo 2.2: http://android.modaco.com/content/d...3120/guide-from-any-official-2-2-to-2-2-at-t/
Which is so much faster and save me from having to downgrade to O2 2.1 -> O2 1.6 -> ATT 1.6 Then ATT 2.2.

Surely Dell will release a 34X for baseband 00 devices???

Just confirming, I did a full nandroid restore on Broken's file and once boot up, I got an error saying that I have a diff google acct already setup - [email protected]? I know I can reset that under acct setting but I just want to confirm that this is what I am suppose to get with Broken's nandroid restore.
Thanks.
From the initial report, I think I have that capacitive button flashing: I am on Baseband - GAUSB1A134031-US w/ OEM - GAUSB1A134100 and best of all ANDROID 2.2.2
Thank you guys!! Krad, Broken, Themanii and homer4evr
ps. Just saw a post on "Root AWS Dell Streak 2.2.2 FRG83G" by 3GBeyotch, Post #84 that looks to provide a shortcut from 322 to 341 using fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970177&page=9

Krad, any chance you have the baseband (filename - amss.mbn) for Stock 322 handy? I think you can find it in the update.pkg.dec file after running the Dell Recovery to update 322.
Thanks.

So I don't need to go to 1.6 to get to the official US AT&T build with the correct baseband?
I have easily installed 340 and Streakdroid 1.8.1 via Streakmod and the images. Seems like it's strange that it's so hard to get back to 1.6 so I can get to US 341.
Take no offense but I really wish Dell had taken care of the US before the rest of the world was ever introduced to the Streak.
Yes I am an American pig-dog.

I am a little confused by your statement. This is what I know...
Stock 340 that you had is the Official US ATT froyo 2.2 and it has the correct baseband 340 for ATT along with it.
The 341 (only android 2.2.2 that I know for Dell Streak) is an unlocked version (someone mentioned that it may even be beta) and I believed is meant for T-Mobile from some posted info??
So, 341 is not the official US ATT froyo. Based on Krad's testing, I doubt you can even go from ATT official 1.6 to this 341...
Hope this make sense.

Looks like it is I who is confused.
I had the blinking lights with my version of 340. So did that mean it was the wrong baseband?
Yes I have a lot to learn about this here stuff.

Yes... the only baseband that worked for me without blinking lights was baseband 11.. which is "unlocked eu" baseband. 00 is "unlocked us".
I have been running this bad boy for about 24 hour and haven't made a dent in the battery. Been running rock solid with zero issues.
yes you must factory reset to get rid of broken's info. I believe he forgot to do that before he made his images.. but it is cool.. no worries....
tell me where to find the 322 baseband files and they are yours... I have not cleaned out my sd card or root... so the files should be there...
technically, if we can extract the 322 baseband.. you would just flash that with fastboot.. and then load the nandroid restore all and viola.. your duh duh done!

Krad, I got it already. 3GBeyotch extract that for me on the other 341 thread.
Just FYI, you can find it easily in the update.pkg.dec file <- usually show up after you did an update thru Dell Recovery in your root sd card.
BTW, are you able to use the online kitchen (http://uot.dakra.lt/) & framework-res.apk to cook the notification bar for 341?

Havent tried yet but i dont see why not. Maybe i make one tonight... i have some honeycomb graphics lying around from some captivate themes.

I too would like this baseband. I am on steves 1.9 and am using baseband 318, but want the most current one. If someone could post the 347 baseband I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

update to 347
I'm also looking and/or waiting for someone to upload the most current baseband.
I'm currently running Steve's 1.9 with the 318 but would love to update, not sure if there will be any advantages, I just like to know I'd have it

Manii's page on streakdroid.com has the basebands for 345 and 350, check it out here http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/

Update to 345
Thanks fone-fanatic... I've been doing some heavy reading tonight though in many forums and I finally ran across a thread in MoDaCo that stated that 318 was the latest version with performance mods. So, for the moment I think I'm gonna stick to the 318 until Steve has recommends an upgraded version of one of the newer basebands. I figure that's the logical thing to do.... but you're still gonna get a thanks from me fella!!

Thanks for the link to all the dell files! I downloaded the 350 amms file and flashed it to my dj steve 1.9 streak and havent had any issues. I would like to know what the differences between the different amms files are though. I will report back any issues I have. I wish 347 was up there also, but I'm glad I have the latest baseband at least. Hopefully there are some improvements.

I'm curious if anyone running 345 has received notification of this update? I'm running 345 and I've been expecting a notification to update but so far nothing yet...

345 shouldnt recieve ota notifications since it wasnt publicly released. Non public roms are usually like that, 305/333/341 all dont have update notices even though they're old.
You have to manually update if you're on a rom that wasnt originally available on the OTA server

Learn something new every day. I thought 345 WAS a public-released ROM but I stand corrected. Thanks for that clarification.
Off to update to 351...

It was (to my knowledge) released by email to specific groups as a hotfix or a test group
It wasnt ever actually ever on the OTA server

Hey guys. I have a question. I have a European Streak, how can I download the latest ROM, stock, without rooting? The currently installed ROM I have, stock without ever reflashing, is bugging me. It crashes frequently when trying to answer the phone. I would like to reflash it download the original stock rom or the latest one. Do I need to worry about compatibility when downloading an OEM rom? Where can I get said ROM as well?

Thanks a lot! Now, I have one last question. I saw from the wiki page the how to guide, but I'm an official unlocked direct from Dell. I downloaded the 00 of 351. Now, on to the upgrading. Is it enough just to put the Streak_351_15609_00.pkg on the SD card, and rename it to Update.pkg, and then launch into recovery? Or do you know of a guide to upgrade an already factory unlocked streak? I did this once, but A LONG time ago, and I don't remember how. Ever since, I've changed devices a couple of times :s
Thanks!

1. Install PKG Recovery Hash (recovery.img ) 351
2. Streak_351_15609_00.pkg on the SD card, and rename it to Update.pkg, and then launch into recovery.

How do you do step one? :-$

Download the stock rom you want directly to your Streak
When the DL is complete tap on the DL notification in the status bar and it should install
If it does not install, rename the file to Update.pkg and install using the stock recovery.
If the rom does not install with recovery you may have to manually upgrade the recovery on the phone first.

So the previous posters step isn't necessary (hopefully) because I don't remember doing that step. Regardless, if it doesn't update just by placing it in the update mode, it wont brick it. Will it? That's what I'm terrified of

Never an issue for me, YMMV. When installing a stock ROM the update is checked prior to install, that's why you may have to update the recovery first. If it installs without using recovery your settings and apps will be retained, but some users find a factory reset is required if the updated ROM is acting strange (force closes, runs 'choppy'). I find the 351 ROM to be very stable.

Sorry to ask but I'm also curious about the updating process. I have an unlock O2 UK Dell Streak 5 running 319 and I would like to know if it was possible to update to 351 by putting the Update.pkg directly to the sd card? Or must I flash 351 recovery img first - is this step important?

You need to flash 351 recovery first as your O2 is not compatible with 00 baseband devices..
