i looking to install StreakDroid 1.6.0 for the increase in performance but have a question i can't seem to find an answer to.
my question is that in the post here at XDA it's recommended to update the BASEBAND, do i really have to and if so how do i do that. i haven't been able to found how to. i didn't post in said thread cause all the post are praise, racommendations, and far more complicated questions then mine and didn't want to take focus away from those posts.
any help would be appreciated.
i'm running a U.S. AT&T locked streak it's been rooted
running O2 2.2
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.9-perf
Build Num. 12792
basband ver. GAUSB1A131921
Not sure if you have to with the version you have but I wouldn't at least suggest use qdl and the official update url to get the latest US release. Then update to 1.6.0. I know for a fact that from official 2.2 build 318 you don't have to update the baseband any further.

Google streakdroid and go to the main site. From there go to guides and you will find video guides on how to download and use QDLtool. As for changing the baseband I strongly suggest doing it so that your phone will be unlocked.

Changing baseband doesnt mean your phone is unlocked. To unlock the phone you need to input a code.
captaingohan, baseband in mentioned in the official streakdroid 1.6.0 thread. Read the thread, it will help with any problems.

Well I meant he should change it and install the unlocked firmware. But he was going to install DJ_Steve so whatever sorry for the confusion.
don't care about phone being lock or not just wanted to know if i really have to update baseband
read the thread. it has the info you need.
just installed streakdriod 1.6 from O2 2.2 without updating the baseband eveything seems to be working fine. and got my quadrant score from 833 to 1550 now phone runs much smother
I had some trouble doing it but I started by switching to 1.5.3 and then 1.6.1 clockworks mod has to work. Phone is much faster now was 844 on quadrant now 2178 just from the swith from 2.2 to 1.6.1
wow i only got 1550 how did you get 2178
lol didn't see theres a 1.6.1. updateing noe

Sweet it is nice. No issues so far
started getting "Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly ( and then force closing )" some posts suggested doing a factory reset. i did that and now my phone gets stuck on the streakdroid splash screen. tried re-installing 1.6.1 and it stays stuck on the splash screen. i've tried to go back to o2 2.2 and when i try to update either it says to get the update.pkg (witch i have on my card) or it'll just stay blank
and ofcourse as soon as i post this it starts workin. i guess the 8th factory re-set is the charm
I only get those when I run quadrant and sometimes I have to clear data to get it to run. Also if I start pushing buttons when it first wakes it goes slow and I have to wait a few secs to let it catch up. But other than that its all good.
streakdroid 1.6.0 update problem
im having trouble with probably one of the simplest processes for the 1.6.0 update. im very new to modding and used qdl to update to froyo. When trying to update to streakdroid 1.6.0, im kinda lost on what steps to take to flash streakmod. There's a video from unlockr that instructs on loading custom roms. When it talks about flashing recovery it tells you to click on "install recovery.windows.bat". For streakmod there's only a recovery image file (not sure, but i think this means i need to cmd) if so, ive never done this process and would love for someone to post a "cmd for dummies" walkthough.
Im running the qdl official update (31800) version of froyo. Also, for someone who's new to the Modding scene, will i even notice a difference btw 2.2 and streakdroid 1.6? Is it worth the update?
Also. Do i need to update my baseband?
Look for the streakmod recovery forum in the streak development forum. It will have the download and install instructions for the streakmod recovery. Once that is installed then go to the streakdroid forum. Download and follow the install instructions. You do not have to flash your baseband. If you follow those two threads you should be able to get it all installed. Also check out the tutorials at streakdroid.com and streaksmart.com

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
happy modding

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

Thanks again. I updated to the official rom for now. I had to to get my Slingplayer app back. I'll have to research that if I'm going to go to Steves version.
Shows 353_15697_31.pkg assume build 353, kennel 15697 won't put it on my phone but if anybody wants let me know what to do.
Even though the update page says it's 2.2.2 internally it's still 2.2 and it doesnt have new stage ui
it must have been a simple copy/paste off 351's update page
So delete it?
Here's the recovery
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/353/recovery.img
Streaksmart
There was a post by Jen @ streaksmart, that possibly the 353 update is for LOCKED at&t streaks? They will stay at 2.2
Well I installed this today and my reception seems to have suffered pretty badly. I think I'll be rolling back to the earlier version.

Actually, he didn't like the answer I gave him in this thread, because instead of handing him the answers on a silver platter I provided him with a link and told him to use the search engine. So he's looking to you to give him the answer, instead of taking the time to read the sticky I provided him.
It's your decision as to whether you want to help him, and how much you want to help him. But whatever you do, encourage him to read the friggin' sticky, so that he has a fighting chance of fixing potential problems that may happen in the process of rooting.

ha yeah i hear you! I know i didn't get anything handed to me on a silver platter when it came to figuring it all out. I did my own work and research and read almost every post and sticky i could before i even attempted to jump to a custom rom. thanks for the heads up man! Im only here to help if someone gets stuck in a bind not a full hand out of every single detail.
Sooo many answers and not enough time to sort through them.
So what did I do wrong if my streak is getting the failed install Status 7 error?
Someone says to just let the phone startup but mine gets stuck and stays at the Dell logo.

I tried again and still get the following...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
E: Error in /sdcard/GS2_3beta2.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
So I don't know what I am doing wrong. I copied the amss and dsp1 files via fastboot and did the factory reset. but no dice.
I was on just the GingerStreak but it had a couple random restarts and is unable to install some applications to the SD card. Could be an SD card error so I will check that real quick.
Might go to one of the stock roms since I am too dumb to figure this out.
broerman2003,
Thanks for the offer. I'll take advantage & ask a quick question.
Under "About Phone" what Baseband Version is reported?
After amss & dps files were added my info is "Unknown."

ok. what recovery flasher are you using to flash this rom with. I personally use clockworkmod to flash mine with. if you are using this as well let me know and ill tell you the steps i used when i installed mine. also if you do have an extra sd card try swapping it out with it and see what happens. if not try formating sd card in the settings of your phone.

hey sorry it took so long to get back to you. ok on my streak it says Baseband version is GAUSB00000. not sure why yours is says unknown but this baseband version mine is saying looks a little odd anyways cause i know the last 2 numbers (00) means unlocked version and of course im sure this rom is based off of a 354 or higher baseband and i dont even see that in the version code so im assuming this is a generic made up baseband that was written up in the build prop. hope this helps you out!

Hi,
I've been reading around but am not satisfied with the answers given regarding this question. I've a 2nd locked Dell Streak begging for a taste of GB but I recall having read all manner of things "back in the day" about requiring a rebelsim to change recoveries etc, but can't find that info now for a definitive answer.
I want to move from o2's stock. Can I just fastboot flash the 407 recovery and update.pkg it, or are there more steps due to the fact it's locked?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Dell Streak
Please, don't all jump at once...
Sent from my Dell Streak
as far as im aware you would have to use fastboot , and flash the recovery, then the update.pkg, theres lots of threads and guides on here telling you how to do this, also check the wiki lots of good info there too
I saw those, but there was nothing - for me - specific to o2.
The biggest issue for me is remembering reading a requirement for a rebelsim or goldcard?
Or... am I confusing this with another device? :-/
I have read the wiki a few times while learning about Modding my unlocked phone. The locked one is new to me though.

The fact that its locked just means you can only use your o2 SIM. I don't think it has anything to do with your ROM. You just flash the amss and then the dsp1 files, flash recovery and then flash the stock package. From there you can move to custom ROMs for GB. There is still no guarantee the GB ROM will recognize your SIM... simple as that
The radio files should be included in the update package... at least it seemed to flash them when I went from 351 to 407 on my unlocked streak.
Everything else though: spot on, thanks! I will give it a go and hope for the best

UNLOCK
I have a 02 one I am almost sure you have to unlock it first which i did with unlockstreak.com it does cost $29 though but you can test first to see if it can and i paid through pay pal.If you do look in your spam folder for email with code as i didnt see it at first. The site is to down load the software and test is
www$unlockstreak£com/pages/download-dell-streak-unlock-software?ref=874b1d7212afe8cc4672f2f53d9976c12a5ea0e5
and a write up about it at www$streaksmart$com/2011/02/dell-streak-unlocker-software-unlocks-streak-in-minutes.html
as to the flashing i have done gingerstreak 244 and dsp amass streak mod recovery i didnt do a normal recovery upgrade first though so not sure if i did it right still have to look into this but it works
you deffo dont have to unlock it as mines is still o2 and im running gingerbread dsc rom, just make sure you flash the required amss and dsp1 file then recovery and rom you should be set to go
If I recall correctly, all a RebelSIM does is allow SIM cards from any carrier to be used in the device without having the device's unlock code. Thus using a RebelSIM should not affect the ability to flash ROMs. My Aria and my roommate's Inspire are both SIM locked to AT&T, yet both have custom ROMs (Cyanogenmod for the Aria, Android Revolution HD for the Inspire).

Can you tell me if i should flash a 350 recovery or is strak mod a recovery instead.Only when i went from o2 rom to gingerstreak i did not flash a recovery.only streakmod recovery.I did streak mod then dsp amass then gingerstreak thank you
407 requires either 350 or 407 recoveries

Ok heres what i did, flashed the appropriate dsp1 and amss files for gingerbread, then f-ash streakmod recovery , then via the recovery flashed dsc rom, but some say it might be better if you flash official 2.3 first then custom rom over it, entirely upto you but i flashed dsc gingerbread rom straight over froyo 2.2

Bayton, it shouldn't matter that you're on o2 but you can always e-mail o2 and they will send you an unlock code for free - I did it myself. There is a page on the o2 website where you can fill in a unlock code request. If they refuse the code tell them they must have made a mistake and that you know someone who's had theirs unlocked. This happened to me and then they sent the code.
Cheers.
Hello to ANYONE who can help me....
I bought a Dell Streak 5 and Im slowly going insane. I've tried system updates, manually downloading a file here and there, trying to upgrade the operating system in any which way I can. But its not working.
I'm sorry but im your worst nightmare - Someone with very basic skills...Im ok with pc's but mobile phone operating systems are another story!
Ok heres what I have in the 'About device' section:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: GAUSB1A110421-EU
Kernal version: 2.6.29-perf
OEM version: GAUSB1A110421
Build no: 3883
Im in the UK, its locked to 02.
What do I do?
Here's my silly questions:
DO I need the SD card in the phone for the software update?
I've notices DJ Steve done something that has no files anywhere with the links still on the info on websites?
When I click to system update on the phone, it goes to DELL and i go through the clicking, to then get a '404 - file or directory not found' ?
Any help would be appreciated x
K-inkz x
Is there a one-stop-shop that can do it all for me (less headaches & stress)
To answer your last question first, no.
DJ Steve's info is dead and buried, along with Dell's OTA system for the Streak. The current custom ROMs are in the Development forum.
In general, you want to upgrade you need to start reading the info given in the wiki and in various posts on these forums. I can tell you that this thread gives general comments on the hoops you have to go through to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.3.3.
If I remember correctly, I used the QDL tool to update 1.6 to 2.3 prior to it being officially released by Dell. Is that not an option?
By his own admission he isn't tech savvy so that could cause more problems for him than it solves. Having never used the QDL Tool myself, you would know more than I in that regard as to what's involved.

Understood. Just to put this out there, I do have the QDL tool and tutorials in both word document and shock-wave player that walks you through the process. Just let me know and I can provide a link via PM to the files.
TheManii still has a link to the QDL tool on his dev-host account. But those tutorials could be very useful.

Thanks guys, this is very helpful. I'm also trying to update my Streak 5 (unlocked) running 1.6 but after I download the 2.2 software update from Dell and reboot/install it just hangs at the Dell logo screen. I also tried flashing a custom recovery via fastboot. It says write successful but when I try to boot into the recovery I just get a blank screen. I've tried CWM, TeamWin and StreakMod all with the same result. I was thinking there was an issue with installing those on 1.6 so figured I'd update the firmware first. Looks like I need to do some more research.
Thanks
Thanks for info!

No need to root at all before hand. Following the QDLTool and Streak Upgrade guide tutorial's and getting the drivers and everything setup, all I did was run QDLTool to factory reset from Android 1.6 to 2.2. Once I did that it's as easy as flashing a recovery with Fastboot and then throwing a custom ROM on your SD card to flash.
I'm running StreakMod recovery with the Traveler DSC ROM.
Thanks all for info x
