I tried to root my Streak with Android 2.2 using previous patches. The result was a locked phone that didn't want to start anymore. So eventually I completely restored it and it's working again.
Has anyone managed to successfully root Android 2.2 on the Streak? If so, please let me know.
Z4root from the market is working fine. Try that.

Thanks, works great.
Had to download it manually though as I couldn't find it on the market.

The dev had to put it back up a few days ago too, apparently google doesn't like his app.

z4root version 1.3.0 doesn't seem to work for my streak... are there any other options?
(universal androot doesn't work either)
I tried z4root and universal androot and both of those did not with for me on 2.2. Looking for another option as well.

Superoneclick is confirmed working on dell streak froyo. Just rooted a few hours ago. Just remember if youre using xp to install .NET fromework 2.0+

Any option for those of us with a Mac or any other option to do it right from the phone?
I wasn't able to get SuperOneClick, z4Root or Universal Androot working after upgrading to the official 12821 build which came down in the 318 package posted on the Dell website. So I borrowed DJ Steve's boot.img, flashed it (with fastboot), applied Universal Androot a couple of times as usual and now it's rooted. Steve's boot.img is in the zip file at
android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/325889/streakdroid-1-5-1-release-post/
(sorry, it's my first post so they won't allow links yet...)
(I started off with a Dell Streak on 1.6 when I got a Dell Streak from O2 here in the UK as a replacement in August when I lost my Xperia. The upgrade to 2.1 messed it up so I've been following both Steve and Dell. It's been quite a ride, but I have to hand it to Steve, he's kept it interesting, been patient with the questions, kept my phone in better condition better than Dell and O2 and I've learned a lot in the process. Cheers, Steve. So, now I have the official Dell 2.2, rooted and about to put Clockwork-mod back on. I look forward to the next part of the journey. A donation to Steve is on it's way. Merry Christmas.)
usb debugging mode
I couldn't get any of the root programs to work, until I went to settings, applications, development and enabled usb debugging. Might be worth a try.

Superoneclick has a mac option. Requires you to download mono. Long downliad but handy to have. Rooted mine on a macbook with no issues.

Do you have a guide for using it on the mac? I downloaded mono but wheno I ran sudo mono superoneclick.exe it errored out.

Did you try version 1.5.4 of superoneclick ? the newest version didn't work but 1.5.4 did

Me too, so youre in the states right? Did you get a triangle with an exclamation mark in it in the notification bar?
Because thats what happened to me, when I go to about phone and try the check for updates nothing happens - have toy tried this?
Thanks.
Yes, im in the states. When i tried to download the update from the phone it takes me to the update site, let's me start the download but the progress bar never moves lol. Then it says download unsuccessful. Tried using wifi but still no dice. The update server might be down. I hope it's froyo...
I wish it would be but I'm 100% sure it's not.
It's way too soon for Froyo to arrive as Eclair isn't even officially out yet.
And considering how long it took for Dell to make an Eclair ROM, I'm sure it's not Froyo, but maybe the official Eclair?
The download address seems strange to me.
I can't even start the download. Server timeout

The official 2.1 I'm guessing? So how does this work... If we are rooted and already on 2.1, can we still update to this one using the same method we did with the unofficial 2.1..?

If you have the stock recovery on there still, you should be ok, even via OTA.

By stock recovery, you mean no custom bootloader? All I did was root and go thru fastboot (volume up and power on) with update.zip with 2.1 (O2 version) and update from the zip. Hit the camera button to confirm update.zip.
so is it true 2.1 is officially out?

Koush's recovery seems to be the only custom recovery on the Streak so far. If you last flashed that they you have a custom recovery. Based on your statement above, you should be ok.
In the repairtool tutorial it says to hold the volume up button ( button closest to the headphone jack). The volume up button on my Streak is the button beside it to the right. Is my phone backwards or something? Am I just not reading it properly?
Its the one closest to the headphone jack. Technically backwards until you flash 2.2. Then it'll be correct.

Thanks. I'm a real noob at this. Now that I have been able to complete clockwork recovery I think I'm ready to try to do this. Still reading to try and find out which method I have to use now.
I agree wit you
i posted this in another thread, there really isnt any thinking involved when deciding which method to use i believe. qdl is by far the easiest method, heres the info you will need
rptw said:
i found that THIS thread helped me with what i needed to install on my computer to be able to update
then i used the main tutorial HERE to get to a prerelease version of froyo
from there you can use the "next steps" guide in the above link to get you to either an official release of 2.2 or to dj_steves froyo 1.6.1 which u can find in the development thread

Thanks, I gave it another try. I was having issues with the ADB driver to get the QDL to work. My other steps before got the right driver installed and the QDL worked this time. i'm on 2.2 Baseband 00-US Build 10688. Might try Stevies later but right now I just want to check this out.
you should go beyond the qdl version of froyo because that is pre-release version from what i understand. if you want stock froyo, go to http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg and download and install that. thats the rom that unlocked streaks have gotten from dell

Use super oneclick select rage against the cage.
Turn the streak off and plug in cable.
Start the root process when you see waiting for device turn streak on.
Leave on till the process finishes. It always works for me.

Now to figure out how to get the Streak to work as a modem with a usb. PdaNet won't work like it did on my past six phones. That is strange.
For that you will need froyo. So lets get you to 2.2 then tackle that issue.

Use one click rageagainstthecage. Make sure development is set in the applications settings. Turn streak off. Start one click when you see waiting for device turn streak on. Let it finish then you can set the non-market.
Question: Were you able to root your AT&T 340? I'm going to be upgrading my dad's Streak to 340 this weeknd, and I want to be able to root.

I'm prolly blind because never did I see the instruction to turn the phone off first.
I was able to root now. Thanks!
Hey guys I had rooted my Acer liquid mini a few months ago using super one click 1.7, it rooted successfully.
Now recently I installed the official gingerbread (2.3.5) update and then after that I couldn't run apps that needed root permission, so I did a root check and it said it wasnt rooted. So here where the problem is whenever I try rooting with super one click 1.7 now it gets stuck at some "pneuter" step or something.
What do I do? I really want to root again but it doesn't seem to be going ahead of this step.
P.S - I have USB de bugging on.

Have you tried rooting using a newer version of Superoneclick?
Yeah I tried v2.3.1 it seems to get stuck at the 3rd step after killing ADB server and starting ADB server. It left it alone for like 5-10 minutes din't seem like the program was responding. I have rooted my cellphone before and it should take nothing more than a minute, I think something is wrong.
Oh and also after the official update I had all my files and apps as I left it before updating that means before updating it must have automatically backed up everything. So it also backed up the superuser app. I had Superuser, titanium backup, ROM manager still installed but couldn't run any of them (since I lost my root permissions). I hope that helped. Just disclosing all the things that happened.

You could try using z4root and/or Gingerbreak.
No z4 didn't work I used 1.3.0. I don't think it has anything to do with the software, I have rooted before and it should work, I think it has something to do with my cell , something to do with the update cuz it dint work after that.:| but I don't know what went wrong.

It is your software. That's why when you root your device, it is advised not to update officially; but instead using a custom rom (based on the updated software version). You were able to root before since your previous firmware was rootable (at least in that way).
Oh damn that means I have to wait till they come out with a root able version of my cellphone? Isn't there any other way out?
