Hello,
I've upgraded a Dell Streak to 2.1 and it's now so unstable, unusable that I want to go back to 1.6
However, i'm unable to find anything on how to. Most guides say to use a default original recovery ROM or stock ROM from Dell. But I can't find such ROM or anything from Dell nor 02
How can I get the phone back to 1.6?

Have a look in the streak sticky at Android Development
there are quite a few guides there on how to go back to 1.6
Just wondering why you want to go back wards why not go forwarders to 2.2

Is there someone who's got the stock recovery for 6267 unlocked streaks? if i understand correctly the only way to flash the next rom after i update with the 02 2.1 is to revert back to the original recovery? does this file exist?
kinda new to android and i'm really not sure of what i'm doing, don't wanna end up bricking my streak or getting stuck with the 02 branded 2.1 forever...
Hi All
I am a complete newbie with Android and the Dell streak, I have had a play with some Win Mob ROMs on phones
I have just bought a second hand Dell Streak locked on o2 in the UK, It is running 1.6 software.
I am wanting to upgrade to 2.1, but the o2 website only shows how to do it over the air, and when I check for updates in the phone it says up to date.
Also if anyone reccomends a better ROM than that offered by o2, I woul be interested in rooting and loading that onto the device
I am currently reading through all the threads I can about android learning as much as possible, but thought i would post here as well
Thanks

Welcome to the android community and congratulations on getting a streak
To get you started take a look at the pinned topics on the top of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776883
Basically if you want to go to android 2.1 you will need to put one of the 'update.pkg' files on the root of your sd card to kick off the update [flash] process
If you want 2.2 you will need to install a custom recovery image where you can flash the 2.2 rom from
also goto http://android.modaco.com/category/436/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/ for more info
Welcome to streakland LOL.
Seriously I really wouldn't bother with anything other than 2.2. Now you can go down the routing path N update to DJ Steve's 2.2 which is awesome. Or you can wait a few weeks N wait for the official dell 2.2 but looking at posts it's meant to be alot slower. Routing etc is rather easy N if you get stuck then there are plenty of peeps here who can advise.
Have fun.

Has anyone been able to restore the stock US 1.6 including the return to baseband 31? I've found out how to return to the stock ROM but not the stock baseband, which we might need for the OTA Froyo update. Thanks!
UPDATE: I see that this problem is now solved and found the solution! Thanks!
Can you share the link for the solution you found? I'm sure it'll come up again when Dell gets around to pushing their own USA official 2.2 release, but I'd rather have it handy just in case.
Hi there,
I recently used the "eugene" froyo update on my new unlocked samsung vibrant from t-mobile. it still lags sometimes and i was kinda hoping to find a way to make it faster.
I don't know if the eugene froyo update rooted my phone or not. under firmware version it says 2.2 and build number says FROYO.UVJK2. I don't know what the build number means either.
I wanted to downgrade from this 2.2 version back to 2.1 cuz i wanted to wait for the original release of 2.2, but i couldnt find a way to downgrade. I want to make the phone faster if possible, that is why i am posting this.
If anyone could help or give me a solution, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
use Odin and flash original 2.1 firmware.
all instructions are in the vibrant bible.
Good afternoon all,
a bit of help please, searching these forums for my answer has simply confused me ...
I have a locked Streak;
2.1-update1,
baseband GAUSB1A120321-EU,
kernel 2.6.29-perf,
build number 6941
I have SIM unlocked the phone using dellstreakunlock.exe successfully.
When I try to upgrade via settings>about phone>system updates I get directed to a dead link - update.zinstaging.com
!) CAN I upgrade this firmware to a standard Dell Froyo 2.2 ROM ?
2) If so can someone please post the link I would need to put into my streak's browser?
Much appreciated ...
Dave in Catshill
there are links all over the place to the offiicial o2 froyo build.
try http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_319_12792_21.pkg
that is the official build.
Thank you for the link ... however, on advice I attempted a manual upgrade from the Streak by entering the OTA link into my browser ...
I now have a bricked Streak.
I have attempted recovery techniques from Modaco, but the Streak only shows the Dell Logo and after a few seconds a blank black screen with just the buttons lit.
Can I upgrade to another 21 pkg from this situation? Would it be better to downgrade to an earlier 21 pkg from the Wiki page?
My question is ... do I need to download the recovery software or the pkg? Upgrade or downgrade?
Sorted ... flashed 1.6 recovery image using flashboot which got me going again, and once working the auto update process started leaving me with a fully operational streak running 2.2.2
