I guess I'm not the first to ask for help with this particular problem.
I use DJ_Steves 1.5.1 rom right now.
Is it possible to go back to Dell's official European software again?
I've read something about a 309 recovery file. What should I do with it?
Is it the file I need to install before I can download Dell's latest software to my phone?
Thanks in advance for your help!
yup u need the 309 recovery file.....flash it in fastboot...
once thts done...assuming u have the pkg file renamed as update.pkg in ur sd card u can boot into recovery and install update.pkg....
Thanx! i will search for the 309 file!
FOTA model name missmatch!
I guess i miss something??
I run a new stock.recovery.img and i worked. Then i run the new update.pkg from sdcard. But it didnt work.
Ii there more steps i have to do before i can run the update.pkg?
i went from 1.5.1 to stock 2.2. v 319 with no issues
First flash the recovery.stock.new.img - link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8LDVERY4
then reboot to recovery and install update from the stock recovery.
Was a smooth ride for me .
I did exactly like like you but it didnt work. I think i have to change baseband but i didnt understand how
i think once u install the stock rom , it will flash the baseband as well.
OKey! Now im stuck on with Dell logo and the streak doesnt start.
Now im really dont know what to do. :S

Hi, I was looking to get back to the stock 2.2 also from 1.5.1. So I install the recovery that is posted in the link here and where do I get the stock update file? Is this the one on my SD card from the original 12821 update?

I ran into this same problem. Updated to the new stock recovery (link from this thread) then I tried to install the update (12821) from here:http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg
This will update you to baseband: GAUSB1A131800 which is what I am already on so not sure if I'm missing something. Do I need to go to an older baseband to be able to install this update.pkg..?
UPDATE: Figured it out. I was using the wrong recovery image. I thought I had the 309 but I didn't. As soon as I used the 309 recovery with the lastest stock froyo rom (12821) I was golden. Back to 100% stock. If not for this thread, I would have been lost for awhile. Thanks guys!

done that already doesnt work...ive been through 1.7.1 it was ok but still FC's 1.8.1 FC city. alot of restarts. 1.9.0 hangs up wit dell logo sometimes, freezes when data connection is turned on while restarting i have to restart 100 times....no real game play without freezing...i just wanna use this for games as well without the freezing....
I've just gone back to stock exactly because of these issues, I downloaded the QDL tool (guides and downloads here) and used this to flash 2.2 stock. It seems fine so far!
i tried the qdl tool and it puts 305 back on my streak but i cant update anyfurther past that what do u sudjest
Sure you can. Get the download for the 309 or 318 update package and load it on your streak's sd card named update.pkg then go into recovery and manually flash it.
Can't get into recovery menu for some reason

What happens when you hold both volume buttons down and power on the device while keeping the volume buttons held down? anything different than normal booting up? You can download the recovery files in the wiki and try manually flashing the recovery then manually flashing one of the stock roms.
If you used QDL to get to 305 you should be able to use the url for 318 to just download and install it:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A121100
Use that url in your android browser and go through the update. It will download build 318 which is the latest OTA update released from Dell for unlocked baseband (which if you used QDL you are now on)

the only other time ive had to flash a recovery was the first time i got my phone and the instructions stated to use the following command
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
so do i do it the same way? do i need to specify where in memory or can i take that part out?
That's the correct command to use. just like you typed it

Hi all,
I was installing custom roms back in the xda 2 days but eventually moved over to iphone and now im swtiching to android. (I love the new site by the way!)I have an (o2) streak arriving tomorrow and would like to get the best out of my device.
I have tried my best to do my research over the past few days before making my first post and now I have some questions if I may...
To flash a rom I need to:
1. Install fastboot
2. Root device using androot or superboot
3. Install clockworkmod recovery
4. Download rom and flash to device
If my device comes with 1.6 I need to update to 2.1 first.
Roms...
The ROMs I have come across so far:
- O2 2.2
- Custom Streakdroid by Djsteve http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=26
All others that I have seen seem to be in alpha.
So am I right in thinking that streakdroid is the most advanced but stable rom so far?
Is there any backup tools / failsafes that I can use before starting all this?
Do I need to worry about baseband? Do I follow this?...
"IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE TO THE BELOW BASEBAND FOR 1.5.1+"
If somebody let me know if I've understood the above correctly and if I'm ok to proceed with flashing tomorrow?
Any help is greatly appreciated and it's good to be back!
Just update to stock 351, I find that to be very fast and super stable.

Thanks for the reply,
I have done some searches and it seems stock 351 is the latest non-custom rom. Is this what I will recieve from o2 in the OTA upgrade? Am I not missing out on a load of extra features if I use this instead of a custom rom?
Thanks
Go for steves rom i am on o2 uk flashed the 351 a bit slow 4 me went back to the streak savier u will love 190

I carried out all previous steps and now this is what I've done:
1. copied update-1.6.1.zip to the root of sd card. It said I needed to copy a .pkg but the streakdroid package comes in a zip so i copied that on instead.
2. Installed the recovery image
3. Booted into recovery menu and selected update via update.pkg on sd card.
Now the streak has the Dell logo with an ! exclamation mark and it's just sitting there. Have I done it correctly? It says it takes 10 minutes but I'm a bit worried because there is no progress meter there.
Some one please let me know if I've done the right thing as I'm too scared to touch it now in case I brick it!
Thanks
Ok i figured i had to press the power button to get the menu but now i cant get the menu back! Every time I select the option it tales me to: android system recovery utility
When I try to do a recovery it says verification failed...any pointers?
It depends on what you have done so far. You are best starting with the latest official update for your phone using system update, then installing the fastboot drivers on your pc, installing new recovery, either streakmod or clockworkmod and then installing djsteves over that if you want a custom rom.
Instructions for each step are evident in forums, but If you require further assistance, just ask

Thanks for the reply. I flashed the recovery again and it allowed me into the advanced menu again which enabled me to flash. It's all working now but I have just noitved 1 thing....
I flashed with update-1.6.1.zip from http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15 but have just found update-1.9.0.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003525
Am I right in thinking that I have just flashed with an older version? If so, I will do it again.
Another question...if I flash with a new rom I must lose all my data?
When it's on the dell exclamation screen you press the power button to bring up the recovery screen.

Streakmod install issues
Hey I have a Dell Streak on ATT (unlocked) that I am trying to breath new life to its 2.2 Froyo operating system. I am trying to flash DJ Steves Gingerstreak 2.4.4. I found what I believe to be simple instructions once I have StreakMod installed on my Phone. Can anyone help me get this set up? The link in this post seems to be spam, some sort of video player.
I have loaded Streakmod on the computer, have been sucessful with CDL tool and the initial root from 1.6 to 2.2. But I have to do something till I can swing the new G-note
any detailed help on getting/installing Streakmod up and running would be great.
Thanks

BIG Trouble with GingerStreak update
Ok, I have flashed the amss and dsp1 files, installed the txt file, re-booted and went into streakmod recovery and loaded Gingerstreak 2.4.4. The phone booted up after 5+ minutes the update seems great except phone does not work.
I get the message"The process com.android.phone has stopped working unexpectedly. Please try again".
Any suggestions? the phone does not seem to reconize my sim card.

Did you do a factory reset?? (not in streakmod / clockwork)
Do it from dell recovery..
Not sure why people still install gingerstreak anymore. fards left and it seems support has stopped??
Thanks so much. I've tried it with my streak official rom 2.3 and done it without any problem. In my opiion,this is the easiest way to do.
Not sure what happened here. But basically took a totally stock US ATT Unlocked streak and tried upgrading to the Gingerbread 2.3.3 version. Upon doing this, everything flashed correctly but I was stuck at the Dell screen-15 minutes. Pulled the battery and same thing, pulled it again and it actually started loading up. It loaded up and immediately force closes a bunch of things. Tried flashing it again with no luck. Tried flashing the latest ATT recovery with update.pkg and again, stuck at Dell screen. However if I flash CWM and load a custom ROM, it will load into the ROM but immediately force closes everything and it also isn't reading my SIM card. What the heck did I do?! Please help
could we have more details about your flashing procedure?
Have you done a wipe of the dalvik cache and a factory reset? Skipping those two are the most common cause of FC's.
Sorry guys. Initially. I installed the fast-boot drivers, got the phone in fast-boot mode and recognized by the PC. Gather the correct files and flashed the 407 recovery, rebooted and then flashed the update.pkg through the stock recovery manager.
After this failed. I flashed CWM. Wiped it totally and then tried two different custom roms and also installed the amss and dsp1 and still both would instantly start force closing.
I'm a desperate move I did QDL last night and everything was successful, however I attempt to install the latest stock recovery and update.pkg and I'm still getting stuck at the Dell logo.
Try the recovery from 360.

From my understanding. QDL sets the phone back to 305 recovery to be flashed. Should I try installing that, or as soon as QDL finished install the 360 recovery with the 360 update.pkg?
flash the 360 recovery in fastboot mode, reboot into recovery mode and install the 407 update.pkg. After it is installed do a factory reset.
That method isn't working. I flash the 360 recovery in fast boot and loaded the 407 update to the SD card and renamed it. Upon flashing the update I get a "error in SD card \SDcard\update.pkg.dec"
Do I need to add that extension or what's going on here? I'm using the files provided on the Dell Wiki Rom list btw.

On the wiki page there is also a link for hashes. Click on it and compare the hashes listed with the hash for the file on your local computer. If you have a bad DL the hash will not match.
If the hash matches then try using the 407 recovery, instead of the 360.
Also see this post in case you are coming from 347. I guess that there are issues updating from BB 347.
The easiest way to generate a hash for files in Windows (IMO) is to use the HashCheck shell extension. You right click on a file in Windows Explorer, select properties, and then a tab to view the hashes for a file.

I've followed everything you just said. I've checked hash files and all are matching. However when you talk about 347, I QDL'd and it put the recovery back to 305 unlocked.
I try to update viaSD card immediately after but it says it can't find the update blah blah. So from 305, I want to flash the appropriate recovery either 360 or 407 and install the 407-update.pkg correct? Then after it reboots from there, do a factory reset? I feel as if I'm very close, just gotta find the right tunnel. I do greatly appreciate all of the help thus far!
Here's a little update to bring everyone where I'm at.
I QDL and then flashed the 407 recovery. Grab the 407 update, rename it and put it on the SD. I flash via update from SD card, everything goes by. It reboots and I'm still stuck at the Dell logo.
After about 15 minutes of this, I pull the battery and then it goes to "Start recovery copy" and then reboots. Then brings me BACK to flashing the stock recovery but this time wants me to flash the 305 recovery??

If you flashed back to 305 with the QDLTool and can get to fastboot I suggest:
Put the rom file on your SD Card. Make sure it is named update.pkg.
Use fastboot to flash the recovery that matches the ROM, in this case the 407 recovery
use fastboot reboot from the command line to reboot the phone and hold down both volume buttons as it reboots to go directly to the 407 recovery you just flashed. Do not let the phone boot normally or you will have to start over.
Now select the second option to update to 407.
This will wipe all settings, apps, ect., from the phone.
---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------
I believe that we cross posted. If you have done the steps in my previous post and are still stuck when you flash the 407 recovery also flash the dsp1.mbn and amss.mbn files for 407 then reboot immediately to recovery and do the update.
The phone is pretty much dead now so I'm going to let it charge before I give it another go.
But I believe my problem is dsp1 and the amss files. That's one step that I have not done yet. I think I'm going to QDL again and from there do as you stated.
I did have one question though. My phone was factory unlocked, through all this, is that unlock gone?
Thanks again and I will report back with the results!

From what I have read flashing a ROM does not effect the unlock status. I also have an unlocked Streak but have never used it with any other carrier except AT&T so I can not comment from personal experience.

I used the QDL streakflash then the QDL repair tool. Didn't feel like messing around with all those update.pkg's and stupid recoveries so I just flashed CWM recovery, flashed the basebands for Ginger Streak 2.4.4 and it's back up and running!!!!

Ive tried installing the update package from recovery mode by selecting install update.pkg from sd card but i get an error saying e:can't mount update.pkg.
After searching i performed an memory test from fastboot; Sd card test passes but the internal memory test fails and gives an error: Cmd/Data test fail. a few days back my computer had a trojan virus and it was converting the folder into shortcuts. I dont know for sure but i think it could have been the cause of this problem as i plug my phone to the pc almost everyday

The trojan you are talking most surely affect only the SDcard, a friend of mine had the same issue on a different device.
I would recommend installing a custom Recovery like Streakmod, flash 366 bb and a ROM like DSC, Longhorn or LXdroid, as those mentioned have the universal kernel that don't check the BaseBand.
Totally wiping everything is a must!
Flashing recovery can be done easely using the MultiFlashing tool provided in the Android Development section, so all this mess wouldn't take more than 1 hour (with reading and wandering if it's safe - it is safe, ia assure you )
Hope this helps/works

Well, i will update the first post of my LXdroid ROM with a tutorial, if you want a fully funtional with the least amounts of bugs i will recommend DSC ROM.
But this is not required if you want to keep the original 2.2 firmware, as almost all the custom ROM's that i've talked about are 2.3.x.
the tutorial will be written, Your choice

But this is not required if you want to keep the original 2.2 firmware, as almost all the custom ROM's that i've talked about are 2.3.x.
the tutorial will be written, Your choice

i think you need to replace the internal sd....
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1
once you have done that... just do the dell factory reset (white text black background menu)...
your phone should be able to start again

As far as i know, you can't possibly install update.pkg using custom recovery, you must install a stock recovery and after that you can flash the update.pkg as it is (update.pkg), changing the extension does nothing
Hope this helps.

you just need to change to anything 8gb and below for the internal sd... and dell factory reset should do the trick...
Thankyou
Thankyou all, Especially deysmacro and Lexzmaster for your help it got fixed by replacing the inner sd after the teardown... nnow im running on DSC 1.0 but ti takes a lot longer to boot and lights keep flashing too... thankyou again

i am glad it is working again... :victory:
light keeps flashing mean your baseband is not matched with the current rom... you should do the upgrade... it is in dsc thread if you read it carefully... it should say something like flashme ... :good:
you may try other rom as well.. if you are interested.. such as longhorn, ics, lxdroid

Search the forum as there should be an article covering the process. In short, you either have to take the Streak apart, or cut away some of the plastic above the SIM card slot to get to the internal MicroSD.
