for the love of God can some body help me?
i just dont know what to do, this is the oem rom update and why the unit is not able to find the update in the sd card?

This post isn't about development, you posted the same thing in multiple places, and you can't install the AT&T update with clockwork, you need the stock recovery.

Please god, Ive been stuck on this **** for 14 hours now. SOLUTION PLEASE!
I've experience rooting/roming over 50 phones, and this is getting irritating!
CWM doesnt flash .pkg's, and I'm coming in way to late in the process to understand this QueTip program or w-e. A simple stock recovery flash tutorial n link would be amazing.

this will happen too when you flash it over 2.2 already but in your case your on 16 ryt?i would suggest google search for the stock 1.6 6601 recovery image and flash it and then flash clockwork and then apply the update.

try to look here.

whats your baseband prior to this update?

I suggest that you use streakdroid recovery to make a nandroid backup before you revert to the stock recovery,
Download stock recovery from here. Make sure it is on your computer in the same folder as fastboot.exe
Excerpted from this streakdroid guide:
Shut down your Streak, then hold down the camera button (all the way) as you turn it back on.
The screen should turn white; press ‘Fastboot’ in the top right hand of the screen.
Plug in the USB cable – the Streak should now display ‘FASTBOOT_MODE’ at the bottom of the screen.
Open a command window and use ‘cd’ to change to the same directory as qdltool.
Run: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Run: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Either rename the file you downloaded to recovery.img or change the name of the file to flash in step 5 to match the file downloaded.
Boot into recovery and you should now have a stock recovery.
You can boot your phone and try downloading and installing the OTA upgrade or you can place the upgrade file on your SD card and name it upgrade.pkg and try to install it using the stock recovery.
I suggest that you use streakdroid recovery to make a nandroid backup before you revert to the stock recovery.
Make sure that any ROM you try to install on your phone is appropriate for your hardware and carrier.

I personally was on the 318 build of 2.2... Downgraded to O2 2.1, then to O2 1.6, then to AT&T 1.6 with the BB downgrade... then upgrade to AT&T 340 2.2, its not that hard... get to stock AT&T 1.6 and leave the 340 "update.pkg" in the root of the SD card.

I don't have a fastboot option, and am unfamiliar with QDLtool? Can I pick up on these steps even with CWR already installed?

here are my videos of my device turning on and going into clockwork etc

If you are not on at&t's 1.6 than this is your only option. Also your only way to go back to the 1.6 is using essentially same steps as above. So just make sure fastboot is set up and follow the steps listed above. It will work regardless of os you are running now. I just did it and I was on dj steve's 1.8. On a side note how is the upgrade working for you?(those that installed it)

i have fastboot

Yeah my installation came up with an error and it would not boot after it was applied so previously posted stock recovery does not work. So what you have to do is follow the steps to go back to stock at&t 1.6 rom. Here are the directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8558692&postcount=4
I am in a process of doing this now so i'll keep you posted. However, once you do the downgrade from the link above you should be able to just install latest at&t rom without any problems. Hope that helps.

it should be in the market. I used to use SuperOneClick it should work for 2.2 and 1.6. just google the SuperOneClick.exe and you run this from the computer not the phone. universalandroot you run from the phone.

1. I am using the official 2.1 now, how can i flash the fastboot rom to my phone?
2.because i am worrying about the missing function and the performance of the phone, so I want to know whether it can back to 2.1 or not.
3.just using that 2.3.3 and without any changes(I think it's not necessary to use Apps2SD anymore, right?) I known that the SD card cannot be removed after the Apps2SD installed

clockwork is little software that you flash afther flash new fw with fastboot. you can backeup,restore,format,instal new rom...with clockwork.

no you cant backup your V20a ROM as i said clockwork mode is needed for backup , restore and more so you can only use it wih 2.1 Quarx version, 2.2 , 2.3

After flashed to 2.3.3 , can i go to emergency mode and flash kdz?

you can flash 2.1 europe+fastboot version so then you can flash the clockworkmod and do the backups of the 2.1 version...
Euro+fastboot:
http://www.mediafire.com/?96nu9lb6afx22a7
Clockworkmod:
-Try first with v3.0.1.3
http://www.mediafire.com/?7xb4q35kwq1iutx
-If it doesnt work then flash this version 2.5.1.8
http://www.mediafire.com/?sax544hf3cye3gx
this is the order for flash upgrades:
1.6
2.1 eclair without fastboot (in this case your V20A)
2.1 eclair with fastboot (europe version) (A MUST FOR FLASH NEXT VERSIONS 2.2+)
2.2 froyo
2.3 gingerbread
* i think here is more risk of brick you phone going back to 2.1 version so do it AT YOU OWN RISK

yes you can
2.1 to 2.2 or
2.1 to 2.3
once you have clockworkmod you can flash any ROM you want by recovery or by fastboot depending of wich version you download. though recovery mode is safer.

use the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe to flash my phone to 2.1 with fastboot, right?
if I don't need to backup the firmware,then i can flash to 2.3.3(CM7) directly with the 2.1 with fastboot?
any detail tutorial for me to flash to 2.3.3?
I afraid i will do some wrong irreversible things
i downloaded the v1.6 of CM7, why there's no boot.img? how can i flash that?

I have try to flash the Europe 2.1 + Fastboot(using the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.exe)
but I can't flash it.

that is not safe at all. if you want to go back to 2.1 then you should go back to a custom 2.1 ROM by recovery from clockworkmod or by fastboot.
Take a look of this 2.1 version is the one im using

If you want to go back to 2.1, I recommend using Black Quarx ROM. It's as safe as SwiftDroid and OpenSwift.

if i want to upgrade my phone to CM7 1.9
can I upgrade it without wipe the user data?
the version 2.0 seems only a beta version, i don't want to upgrade to it right now.

Update from 347-->351--fail

Hi people,
Got my dell streak today and i already cannot use it due to bad flashing I guess. I had v347 unlocked version and tried to flash 351 by using the sd card method -->renaming the 351 pkg to update.pkg. The installation process went ok but after the phone reboots, I am stuck at the Dell Logo for more than 15min.
Tried a factory reset but to avail. Can anyone please help me...I can't believe I might have bricked the D.Streak in less than 24hrs!! Help!!!!!
Edit : I think I did a dumb thing....my streak is dead now...won't even start....I use fastboot and flash the img and mbn files in the 351 section (http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/351/) and now the phone won't even start. No response...bricked...I've read that there is an internal storage in the phone, will it be possible for someone to back up their storage and if I disassemble my streak and copy the contents, will this unbricked my phone?

351 requires the 351 Recovery File
you will need to flash the 351 recovery file in order to let the upgrade package work.
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/351/recovery.img

Thanks for the tips...I've already tried it using fastboot but I am still stuck on the Dell Logo. Any other suggestions?

I didn't. The 2 times the 351 update worked on my phone was when I copied it to the SD card and used a file explorer to run the package and update. The 1 time I flashed the 351 recovery is the time my phone was bricked.
Do yourself a favor and copy the 351 update to the sd card and update from there.

in this link there are two versions of QDL tools one which is around 40 mb(StreakFlash) and larger one(repairtool) which is around 190 mb. i initially used the smaller qdl tool to get the boot image fixed and later used the newer one to load 318 rom on to it. then i installed the 351 rom.
i details can be followed from this thread

Had same issue...
Flashed the 351 amss and dsp1
then flashed streakmod recovery
Then flashes 351 zip
After install complete I pulled battery in streakmod and then put it back in.. then it worked.
There is an issue with the 347 stock units. After flash or upgrade package the sd card read dies until you battery pull. You don't do a battery pull it will never work

why you trying to flash streakmod recovery as an update.zip?
get the streakmod recovery file and flash it with fastboot
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery streakmod_recovery_file_name.img
replace "streakmod_recovery_file_name.img" with whatever you have the recovery named as. (could be recovery.img or whatever you renamed it to) and make sure your in the correct directory in your command prompt/terminal

Hey good news...finally being able to flash to 351-345-318 using only the update.zip found at http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/
Streak fully restarts and is fully functional....But as soon as I try to use a recovery.img to update to an official pkg from Dell. My Streak just froze at the logo screen.
My question is what is the difference between the update.zip at streakdroid's website and the official pkg? Why I cannot install any official pkg while the update.zip works? Any ideas anyone?

I think I did a dumb thing....my streak is dead now...won't even start....I use fastboot and flash the img and mbn files in the 351 section (http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/351/) and now the phone won't even start. No response...bricked...I've read that there is an internal storage in the phone, will it be possible for someone to back up their storage and if I disassemble my streak and copy the contents, will this unbricked my phone?

try this, first remove the battery and put it back. now holding volume up button power up the phone, even though its in blank screen connect it to the computer after 5 seconds, see if windows finds a device and tries to install a driver. if you can see this then your phone is not bricked. you can still try to recover it.

windows would not recognize it....I can't even charge the battery when I plug into the charger...no response. This happens when I flashed the files DT.img,boot.img,osbl.mb & so on, which are found in the link I wrote above.

Stock ROM flashable via Streakmod recovery?

Is there a stock ROM that is flashable via Streakmod?

Thanks.
Are these flashable via Streakmod recovery?

Try this link. If you click on the folder (baseband number) for the ROM you are interested in you may find an update.zip package. You can flash that with StreakMod Recovery. I would not suggest doing this to change a ROM, only to re-flash what you already have, if needed.

Are these .zips pre-rooted?
My Streak doesn't seem to like any custom ROMS. I can't get any stability, no matter what I try.
351 didn't flash via Streakmod recovery.
Do I need to flash the Dell recovery for 351 to go back?

The stock roms are not pre-rooted.
Read this: Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
Best way to revert to stock 351:
Grab MultiRecovery Flasher
Download the 351 .pkg file from the Streak Wiki
Put the 351 .pkg file on the root of your Streak's external sd card and rename to update.pkg
Use MRF to flash the 351 recovery
Use MRF to reboot the phone
Do not let it reboot completely, as the phone starts to reboot hold both volume buttons to go directly into recovery
Select #2 to apply the 351 update.pkg
When it completes the install and the phone reboots you will be back to stock. If you want to root I recommend the superboot.zip method, and don't forget to install busybox and update the superuser bin and app files from the superuser app.
Make sure that your read and understand Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM. I also recommend reading this.
Edit: superuser.zip includes busybox.

Are these .zips pre-rooted?
My Streak doesn't seem to like any custom ROMS. I can't get any stability, no matter what I try.
351 didn't flash via Streakmod recovery.
Do I need to flash the Dell recovery for 351 to go back?

just a small question here, what Baseband are you on? cuz what you're seemingly up to requires additional baseband flashing through Fastboot-commands or the MF flashing assistant mentioned earlier within the Development Area of Dell Streak at XDA.
Please do note that you're request could be moved towards another forum, due to the fact that it doesn't relate to any 'real' development, no offense, but it is what it is.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Perhaps the mods could move it to the Questions section.
I thought I posted it there. My mind is fried after spending two days on this.
Coming from stock 351 with stock baseband.
Tried to flash 1.9.1 via streakmod, now I got nothing but looping boot screens.
Tried a couple other custom ROMs too via streakmod, but nothing worked. Nothing.
Trying to flash back to stock. Now, I can get the stock 351 recovery on, but that's it.
The dell recovery sticks at a blank screen.
I'm about ready to chuck it. I've never been so frustrated by any flashing process in my life. HD2, Vibrant, Galaxy, you name it. They were all cake compared to the Streak.

The best way to get the baseband you need on the Streak is to flash the stock rom associated with that baseband. That makes sure that all of the OS parts that aren't replaced by StreakDroid or another custom ROM are in sync.
And yes, this thread should be in Q&A

If I can get into fastboot, then all hope is not lost, correct?
Is there a guide to flashing back to stock 2.2.2 anywhere that you know about?
So far, I had stock recovery, went to Streakmod recovery, then back to stock after my flashing didn't turn out well.
No offense to the chef's but I just can't seem to find a way to make any custom ROM work with my Streak.
I'd just love to be back where I started and any help would be greatly appreciated.
The searches I've done have turned up stock Donut re-flashes. I don't want that.
So rar, recovery for both Streakmod AND 351 hangs on a black screen after selecting "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu
No Dell Logo appears at all. I get a black screen (backlight on, just black). Since I get no logo, I'm not presented with the Recovery Menu
I'm burned out.

The stock roms are not pre-rooted.
Read this: Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
Best way to revert to stock 351:
Grab MultiRecovery Flasher
Download the 351 .pkg file from the Streak Wiki
Put the 351 .pkg file on the root of your Streak's externak sd card
Use MRF to flash the 351 recovery
Use MRF to reboot the phone
Do not let it reboot completly, as the it starts to reboot hold both volume buttons to go directly into recovery
Select #2 to apply the 351 update.pkg
When it completes the install and the phone reboots you will be back to stock. If you want to root I recommend the superboot.zip method, and don't forget to install busybox and update the superuser bin and app files from the superuer app.

After I get the recovery flashed and reboot with both vol buttons held down... select update and I get a blank screen. Nothing.
I think my Streak is a paperweight.

Once in recovery hit the power or camera button ...to pop up the menu
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Just to follow up on my own post.
The problem was caused by having a stray file named update.pkg in my sd card at root level.
This hosed everything, literally, so recovery was not an option under any circumstances, even though it was flashed. I still got a black screen at startup, no matter what... even when pressing the correct button sequence as noted. I just didn't get to the Dell logo where the camera button would get me recovery.
I had to use QDLTool3rd to reinstall EVERYTHING and then I could install Dell recovery and flash.
Now, I'm rooted and restoring from backup.
Thanks XDA!

Mini CM7 (I'm new)

Hello, can I install this ROM using xrecovery, because that flashing **** is very confusing I tryed to do that with xrecovery, but i've got xperia bricked :S SOZ for english... SO maybe I can install it without flashing or tell me how to flash it, all tutorials of it is very cofusing... It says that I should install Bootloader, i tryed but my PC said that something wrong, and when i checked my phone with s1 tool there was all "HJSJDHSD" letters I meant large one not small so I think my phone is unlocked or something, but how about that other ****?

I'll come to this in a moment, wait for a while as I'm currently writing another post.
EDIT: guide here:
1. View this warning: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481630
2. If your phone manufacture date is (11W28 or below), proceed with the following steps, otherwise you cannot flash MiniCM7 and should flash PrimeHD/GingerDX for a similar experience.
3. If you can unlock your BL safely, read my guide on how to unlock your bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225. The links of simpler guides can be found inside my guide in the first few sections.
4. Once done, download Flashtool from here: androxyde.github.com. Install the ADB drivers for your device and the Flash mode drivers (found in /drivers folder in Flashtool folder).
5. Flash the nAa kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484 using Flashtool
6. Boot into recovery using the back button and then create a backup.
7. Flash MiniCM7 ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585 and the recommended GApps, then full wipe and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and then reboot.
DONE (hopefully)
