yes I can still get into fastboot or recovery mode I tried running some rom's but after the half point an error comes out and aborts the new roms...

If you can get into fastboot and recovery your fine. I recommend the qdl route personally.

Only way to upgrade the white dell streaks is with the qdl tool. Theres something about them... All other methods just leave you in a boot loop. Go to the guide section of streakdroid.com it has everything you need to get to 2.2, including a great video tutorial.

use QDL holmes, or better yet exchange it and get a black one. I could never get the white one to work. I eventually bricked it, took it back and got a black one. Never tried anything with the black one until last night, and it went flawlessly with QDL.

well you are going about this all backwards... first and foremost. You have a white streak, so the ONLY way to get 2.2 is through the QDL tool. Secondly, no matter what color the streak is, you cannot jump directly to one of steves builds from 1.6(donut). You flashed the 2.2 baseband, which is not compatible with your current stock rom, that will kill your data and phone connection amongst many other things. You need to go to streakdroid.com, take a look at the guides section and then upgrade via the QDL tool. That is your only way other than waiting for the OTA.

Superoneclick should be work. Check your usb driver for the streak. Install also pc companion this should install the proper usb driver.

Rooting my Dell Android 2.2

Ive searched the forums for hours trying to find a way to root my Dell Streak, but nothing works. Ive tried
Universal Androot
Both the "App" roots, only the temp root works
SuperOneClick actually bricked my streak and it took 4 four hours to reflash it.
Any help would be great thanks!
Edit : Also I just upgraded to build 12821 since everyone was saying that version is more stable. My baseband is 318.

It's superone click, there's a link from marvin02 in pocketables forum giving tips and trick on using SOC effectively. For me, what I did was disable anti virus, closed all other application and then it worked! Took me almost 30 tries believe me but did not give up till I got it. 1.5.4 worked for me, give it another shot.

JordyGrant1,
If you are going to one of DJ Steve's builds you don't need to root. Just follow this guide on streakdroid.com. Ignore the stuff about amss.mbn as you don't need it. Steve's ROMs are already rooted.
Tips for using SuperOneClick - I just gathered up some of the suggestions I have seen in various forums.

So really...I dont need to root if im going to his Roms... awesome. I thought i needed to root to use a custom rom. Awesome. Thanks 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.

I had this issue going from 318 to 341. Wondering what the solution is

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.

i am trying to go to a successfully loaded post froyo 2.2.2 build with little to no bloat...trying to load 322 now and see if that baseband will work to 341.

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.

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.

No problems here as well. 181 is pretty stable for me.
