So the streak has been launched into china some time this past summer.
Rom: 360
Build: 17397
Region: China
Region: Retail
Stage UI 1.6
Dated: May 31, 2011
From usual update timelines the earliest it could have launched was approximately mid-late june
Since the streak 10 was launched in august it could likely be the month immediately before to build up hype or something
I cannot say much about the details of the rom itself, as I dont have a good dump, only a modified dump.
It seems to be 351-like but possibly customized.
If I had a clean dump, or even better a pkg i can do a proper build analysis
I have a copy of the pkg now: It is basically an updated version of 351
There are no new bundled apps, only updated ones
Stage UI has been updated to a slightly newer version of 1.6
Still 2.2.2
I am not sure if It is recommendable over 351 as it's not available on the OTA server, but here it is installable in the usual way:
mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_360_17397_00.pkg
More info please!
360 rom

The best way is to copy it on sdcard and flash.. as its for sure the battery would be same as 351 crap fast draining
Can it be installed via the standard Dell recovery? Does it include a new baseband?

Yes. If you download three file in op, then you will see its a pkg,, that means you can only install via dell l original recovery,
Just renam it to update. Pkg

I have installed the 360th. Looks absolutely similar to 351 (including all applications and languages; it`s not a chinese version).
- the Quadrant score is 775
- OOVOO doesn`t start automatically
- GingerBreak 1.2 installed, but no SuperUser and no root !!!
- SuperOne Click also doesn`t help with root
(reminder) before returning to 351, it`s necessary to downgrade the recovery version.
my dell streak is the second phone for me and i use it for internet and multimedia; in standby 3-4 days, for music/movies or internet nonstop around 14-16 hours, depends ...
i think i will stay on original 2.2.2
Confirmed working fine. Can't notice any big differences
to the 351 version. But the nagging oovooo crap isn't
autostarting anymore, as someone else mentioned.
Anyway, hats off to the great Manii, for this find!

I root in the time honored tradition of yore:
0. Install Dell drivers for PC.
1. Install Streakmod Recovery (for ease of use, Multirecovery Flasher works wonders here).
2. Update from zip and select Superuser.zip.
I've oversimplified this. Manii has a how-to in the development forum, and Radimus' Guide to Rooting the Streak is a must. But, this route should work without fail, whereas the one-click root methods don't always work.
Now...I have to debate whether I want to go the route of upgrading to this ROM and having to install everything again or sticking with 351.
If you're on a 351 stock, you can likely click the pkg link with the built in browser and it'll ask you to update in place. This only works though if the rom can normally update to it (ie regions match correctly)
Basically that means updating without touching/wiping your data.
At least I think this works, I've heard it a few times but I never bothered trying as I have no reason to as I always wipe data when installing a new rom (for testing/hacking)
There should be no difficulty regarding the region, as this Streak had 347 on it when I received it.
I've never heard of using the browser to begin the update before, which is why I thought I was going to have to reinstall everything.
I believe that the package installer utility included in stock roms is what does it. It marks itself as able to run pkgs files and will prompt you if you try to run an update pkg. (same way gallery can run jpgs/pngs/etc)
Clicking the download link is the simplest way of running a pkg, you could also try using a file explorer and selecting the pkg
Assuming this works, you of course need the correct stock recovery installed, basically any 00 region one in the case of 360

Has anyone tried this method to update over 351?
I'm interested to see if this would be a painless update over the previous retail ROM.
I tried it. The download from the link Manii put up in this thread returned an error of "Download unsuccessful: Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone." I believe the fact I am rooted is playing a huge part in this since I know I can update the ROM using the stock recovery.
If there are no major changes between 351 and 360, I'll stay with 351. I strip out most of the bloatware and Stage UI anyway.

After 3 failed attempts to install 2.26.60 on my rooted Droid Pro, and considering the various problems others are having after having successfully installed it, I no longer wish to do so. But, the installation dialog automatically reappears every 12 hours with options to install now or install later. I'd like to delete the installation file, but have not been able to find it with Root Explorer. Has anyone been able to delete it and/or know the path to the file? Thanks, JM
Same thing here, it is very annoying, specially when I have already tried several times without success...
Do you guys think that those who were unable to update their phones will never make it? Maybe Motorola/Verizon will clear the restriction for the next update?
Are you trying to remove the installation file so you dont have to update to 2.26.60 or are you trying to remove the already updated phone's install file?

I have not updated and do not wish to. The installation file produces a nag prompt to either install now, or 12 hours later. There is no option to never install, nor to delete the prompt (such as "do not show again"). I don't care if the update file remains on the machine, I just want to stop the nagging, and I do not intend to update to anything until a major version change (2.3, 2.4, etc) comes along.
Thanks, JMM
If oyu have the bugless beast rom running on your phone peter alfonso has a stopota.zip but with a basic android software, i really dont think you can. im going to check it out for ya, hopefilly ill have an answer in a couple of hours!
Alrighty this is what I found. The file that nags you about the OTA updates is a software file that also runs many more manditory components. So without a custom ROM on your android, (currently the only custom rom is Droid Pro FISSION, with a Beta RC1), is is impossible to avoid the OTA update notification. Sorry bro, thats android for you!

After pondering this a bit, I wonder if you would be willing to try to get a couple more answers for me -
1) what is the file - name and pathway?
2) what are the "mandatory" components it also runs?
3) In Titanium Backup Pro apps/files list there is "Updater 2.2". What would happen if I froze that with Titanium Pro?
If you can come up with answers great, if not many thanks anyway - JM

Two reasons - 1) I do not want the update, it has caused problems for others that I don't need, and, 2) I cannot flash the sbf because I only have access to PowerPC Macintosh. No windows real or virtual. I've tried to find out if a sbf flash can be done by Mac unix(Darwin) command line from Terminal with bash shell, but no one has responded. Consequently I don't want to update and find out there's a problem because I can't revert. JM

I have the same aws streak came with the 2.2 build 333 or wherever you want to call it. I was able to use superoneclick, I had usb debuging on, and its the newest version of super. "But" I had to install the drivers off the dell website or it wont work. to be safe I downloaded all of them for the streak and installed them.
That might be your problem.
My build is slightly newer. gausb1a134100
Will try drivers at dell. I used the ones on the sdcard.
Update:
Tried drivers on Dell website and same thing. Fails.

Woot, finally got it. Realized the psneuter didn't work and had been trying the rage one after.
Tried it during boot with rage and that did it.
Thanks!
If you could do one more favor: could you hit the system update button in settings and post the URL it gives you? you dont need to update if you dont want, but the URL would be really helpful. I've almost got all the data I can on the aws version.

Im running streakdroid, it just tells me that I have a update for that. A few weeks ago (maybe two) I tried it and it told me I was up to date.
But now Im wondering if there is one waiting for me I might do a restore to stock and check
Awww
The issue is what would you restore stock to? If you go back to 318/319/339/340 they wont give you an update to 341. (Im not even sure if 333 can be updated to 341 since no other 3xx -> 3xx update is given for stock streaks)
There's bound to be at least a 3rd aws version (either donut or ecliar that i dont know about)
Dont bother updating your streak if you just want 341, from what i know it shouldnt work.
Mine came with 333. I sure it was upgraded to that by the seller. But I would like to know what the difference is with 341.
Externally there shouldnt be any real difference, except that 341 is Android 2.2.2 and all other 3xx builds are Android 2.2
Ok restored to stock 333. Tried update said I was good. Here's the link. http://mobileupdate.dell.com/LandingPages/Streak/Retail/uptodate/en/index.html still only 2.2.1. That sucks I want 2.2.2
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Oh you still have a copy of 333? Would it be possible for you to upload it? Its not available on the dell servers (at least not with all the other versions)
I have no Idea how to do that. I get all you would need is the rom backup file but where and how to put I have no clue.
Also I never did a backup before I set the phone up so I would have to revert back to my stock backup, do a factory reset than nandroid. I just dont want to post all my personal info from my rom dump.(gmail.passwords.....)
Side note: when I did the update check the url that first came up was diff. from the one I copied. The url that first came up had 333 somewhere in it.I do rember seeing it for a split second.
I took this off the dell website (http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg ) and have been playing around with the #'s one would think that by changing the 318 & 12821 you could find the other builds but I tried 341 & build #'s (_341_14***)and I got nothing. Anything else I could try
did it look like http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A33300 ?
I've been systematically working my way though them looking for updates. The only lastest pkgs I'm missing are the two AWS ones (333,341) and the starhub branded ones (320).
If you did have a nandroid dump of 333 just dont upload the userdata.img (this is true of nandroid in general, all your data is in userdata, the other imgs are the systemdata that only has the android files)
If it is a hassle you dont have to go though the work, what I really want is the original pkg, pkg.dec and the recovery image anyway. (that's why I asked for the update url so I could grab them myself)
If you wanna see my progress, I put everything on the wiki: link
That's a lot of info! I do think it looked like that link but I wasn't really looking I just happened to see the numbers than nothing. Where would I upload the files? Never had to upload just download.
Dropbox/filefront/rapidshare/smoke signals if you're not sure you've removed your personal data, you could password it and pm me a link.
so what you are saying is there is a version of 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 floating around for the streak?
has anyone been able to try these on the unlocked streaks preloaded with 2.2?
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.

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

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.

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'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

You need to flash a stock recovery. Search for the steps, there are plenty of threads that explain it.

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!

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.
ROM installation HowTo
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..
So I don't remember what build I originally had, didn't backup my ROM bcus im a nub, made a mistake editing a file in system/lib which caused my tablet not to boot past the android screen. Came to this forum for some help, kjy2010 came to my rescue. provided me with a full build of 4.010.40 GEN1, placed update.zip in external SD, booted into recovery mode & let it do its thing. worked like a charm & fixed my issue, but then someone said I should have a US build, can anyone tell me why? if so.. anyone have a copy of 4.010.11 they can provide me with & how I would go about to install it. Is it the same concept as done before? Really the main thing is, will I have issues downloading new updates? if I don't switch to 4.010.11.. or will I have an issue regardless bcus I don't have the original ROM.. & if so.. how am I going to be able to work around it in the future.

Yeah, the original thread had a link that was down, plus I typoed the incorrect build, but the correct link to the file he asked for is there.
No "thanks" for you lol!

Market....get Acery Recovery Installer. After you install it, go into the app and have it install Clockwork recovery mod, miking sure you click yes when it asks you to backup your recover image.
Here is the thread on CWM, although you no longer need to push to install thanks to Acer recovery installer:

Yea im abit confused too.. the link is for Acer_A500_1.139.04_4.010.40_COM_GEN1 which from what I understand is not a US build. My question is, what's the difference? how does it affect future updates.. currently im on Kernel v2.6.36.3 Build# 4.010.40 GEN1

Mainly the differences are in the software you get with the tablet and certain underlying factors in the settings, like what channels are allowed in wifi....especially wifi n which allows a greater variety of channels, bands, etc. The world around uses different channels based on government regulations/standards.
I suspect this is why a number of people have issues with connecting to Wifi. They get ROMS from XDA, update their U.S tablets with foreign ROMS and vice versa and then have wifi issues.
You technically don't HAVE to be on a U.S version if you're in the U.S, but for the reasons above, I wouldn't ever recommend using a foreign ROM.

I'm in US, same build as you are, no wifi issues, the GPS.conf is set to north America, and IMHO it's more stable and fluid than the current US build. Just my opinion, and. 02c
