I tried superoneclick 1.5.5 and 1.5.4, z4root isnt in market anymore. is there anyother way to root the streak. Im running froyo build 12792
Hey, I have the exact same issue here. I am also running froyo with the same build. My guess is that u got ur streak in the uk. Anyway, I have tried z4root and universal Androot. Heck, I even tried easy root. None of them worked at all. Been trying for months now, even almost bricked my phone the other day after following instructions on rooting with superboot. Haven't tried Superoneclick though. Was hoping that would have been my saving grace but now that u mention u tried it with no success in wonder how people have rooted their devices with froyo. Anyway, om me and I will email us the apps u want (z4root)and co but doubt it. Would work cos like I said, we have the same os and build running on our streak. Well, hope someone helps. Pm me if u find a cure for this and I'll do the same if I root my device first. Cheers, don't give up yet.

Idk what was donee differently. but i reformatted my computer last night andinstalled a fresh version of vista, had the windows updater run EVERYTHING. i had 165 important updates, lol, but these were updates from 2007 till now, and i ran superoneclick 1.5.5 and it stalled for a second on waiting for device ten continued. Good deal Thanks for the help.
I also have an UK Streak on O2 running Froyo build 12792, so I was disappointed after failing to find anything online about routing my device to then read this thread and see that you guys have been having difficulty too. I'm wondering if you've managed to root yours yet? If not; well I'm new to the fight so can certainly post anything here that I find if I manage to get anywhere.

Happy New Year everybody!
I bought my Streak from BestBuy with 1.6 installed.
The OTA 2.2 update supposed to be before the New Year, but my System Update still shows "No software updates available at this time."
What's going on here? Who (Dell or AT&T) is delaying the update, and, more importantly, why?
Are they working on rectifying earlier bugs before releasing the final USA version, or just lazy? Or the update takes too much data bandwidth, and AT&T is trying not to overload their system
So, did anybody who bought Streak from BestBuy or Dell with 1.6 received the official update?
Best wishes in the New Year!

The only way i am moving from the 2.2 318 to att's rom when 2.2 gets here is if they fix some things, like video calls and so on. Otherwise, screw att and dells rom. It is gonna be loaded with crap that att makes them put in.
The official word from Dell was...
...December 2010:
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/mobile-devices/f/3824/t/19353639.aspx
I wonder why they couldn't deliver - are there problems wit the current 2.2 update they are hoping to fix?
Just read the QDL-Repair tool tutorial, download and install the 309
version of 2.2 that comes with the QDL-Repair tool, then update to
the 318 version via the update. Takes longer to read & watch the video
than it did to actually update
QDL repair tool video & download>> http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
Dell 2.2 318 update>> http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A121100
You'll obviously want to be on wi-fi when downloading...it's a 150 meg update.
The link will pop you right to the 318 update.
Unless you want the at&t version of the 2.2, personally, I think you would be better off with the non carrier version. The at&t version most likely won't have Bluetooth file transfer, wi-fi teathering and a few other features locked out, and also has all of the associated "value added apps" (bloat) that comes with having an at&t version of a rom.
The only stumbling block some have had, is getting the QDL tool & drivers to see the phone, if your OS is x64 windows 7.
I did the instructions TO THE LETTER, with my home & laptop version of x64 bit windows 7 and had absolutely not one issue.

Followed the instructions and now I have 2.2 on my Streak!
Tethering and Wifi works perfectly.
No problems so far, except that I wish android had smart dialing built-in natively.
It was so easy that I'm still skeptical.

Hey are you guys using that crap stage ui or something more.... I love launcher pro the full version works really good and I also have SlideIT the full version for my keyboard I find that it is alot easier to type on in landscape mode.... Oh and launcher pro gives you so many different options and setting.... Just want to let everyone know that is going to read this
Just upgraded my att streak to 2.2 !!
I just followed the instruction to upgrade my shabby 1.6 to 2.2 and it worked like a charm!! Thanks a lot for this thread!!
The only problem is: my Dell PC Suite now is not able to recognize the plugged streak even if I can see the removable drive in Windows explorer (Vista). Could you please help on this issue?
Thanks again!

You need to uninstall Dell PC Suite and download the newer Dell Mobile Sync from below
http://support.dell.com/support/dow...dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=432022
The sad thing about the new software is that it's a bloated POS (it is made by Nero after all) compared to the old PC suite, however it does work and it adds Wifi Sync with 2.2.
Thanks a lot for the help! I installed Dell Mobile Sync but:
1) When I plugged streak Windows prompts me to install device driver (where can I find the driver?)
2) I then launched Mobile Sync but got "your mobile device requires the installation of updated hardware drivers...". After it took long time to update something I was finally able to sync with Outlook. But the sync of contacts is very slow (maybe through wifi instead of USB cable?).
So how can I fix the device driver issue? How do I know Nero is syncing through wifi or USB (how to configure it to use wifi?)? Thanks!
I ended up bricking my first streak through QDL, soooooo careful. I will say I used a different QDL tool that someone sent me a link to. So chances are the original one wouldn't have done it......who knows. Some folks have managed to brick their phones using QDL, so careful. Fortunately I was able to return my phone and get a new one since I just bought it. I'm going to hold out now on the official update. If the 12th comes and goes and nothing.......I'll start looking to get a microSD card reader in case I brick this one. This is to be my work phone, and currently can't get exchange natively. 2.2 will fix that. SO I've either got to have the official update OR need to manually do it.
probably not Dell's fault this time

Well, it's not like Dell has ever had shoddy customer support, but it looks like AT&T is at fault here. After all, how many AT&T branded devices have 2.2 yet?
The rest of the world (with a few exceptions) has the Streak with 2.2.
So, instead of Dell, we should probably give AT&T a giant heartfelt "up yours" on this one.
Hey I have a question im doing this update again for my friend and I can't remember if I need to delete one of the drivers on the streak first to do this..... And if so how and what is the name of the driver.... He just got the black one from best buy because of me and im doing the update tomorrow..... Any info would help thanks

Followed the instructions and now I have 2.2 on my Streak! Only question now is when I goto SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > SYSTEM UPDATES > it takes me to a zingstaging.com which is no longer active. When the official AT&T 2.2 is out will I still be able to update? And thanks for the is awesome post.

Did you do any further update from the version QDl installed? I used the QDL tool to update my friends then manually flashed 309 and 318 to it so that it had the most current version. I would saw get those two builds and flash them just to make sure you are on the most current.

This is what confused me.. Didn't know which on to do?????
From here, you’ll want to upgrade to a newer release. The two options that people tend to choose from are to either go up to the official v2.2 ROM from Dell, or install DJ_Steve’s latest ROM.

Seen alot of blogs explaining how to update the android of Dell streak phones from AT&T and O2 but none for the Rogers with build number 7921.
Well i spent some time when i got my new phone to find out how to do it and to my surprise it was hard to find how to but easy to actually do it.
Only to follow 2 different site tutorials to get this done.
1. Follow the last part of the tutorial to get your streak to version 6601 ATT&T
after this phrase "If you just wanted to revert to O2 1.6 (build 4399) then you are done. If you are going to AT&T 1.6 (build 6601) we have to change the system so it will upgrade the the AT&T ROM."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
once you got your streak to 1.6 ATT&T build 6601 you must follow a simple tutorial with interactive video and even has a video so you can make it work with your win7 X64 witch alot of tutorials don't help with.
2. Follow this part to the letter and if you have trouble they have a FAQ section and even supply all the files you need.
QDLTool Visual Tutorials (for Windows only)
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
In this second part all you have to do in general is set up all your needed drivers and stuff in windows then open the program and press RUN. Just make sure you do all the steps without missing one.
No need to go through the fastboot or recovery menu in this part.
And it gives you Full US version of android 2.2 from a locked version of Rogers android 1.6.
Hope this will help my fellow Canadian Streakers
Thanks for Taking time to do this for fellow streakers

No problem. It's my first one ever so i hope i passed to hole point and helped some (dell irritated) people.
Actually, all you need is the 2nd step - QDLTool doesn't require any specific version installed on the phone.
Glad you like the visual tutorials .. let me know if theres anything I can do to improve them.

The only problem i have now is i can't seem to change or hear the notification when i go into the menu to see them.
Also i heard the gps doesn't work on some models but i haven't inserted the sim card because i'm waiting for the rebel to come in the mail but without the sim card the gps doesn't work for me.
The notifications setting and brightness are fixed in steves newest rom

ok i see i can upgrade to steve's 1.5.3 only thing is do i use the one with AMSS or the V2.1 baseband
I'm unlocking it with a Rebel simcard
In the guid (Beyond QDLTool) it says to use 1.5.3 + AMSS 1.5.1+. But i have read here and there that if your using the rebel simcard you have to use the No baseband one. So do i use the 1.5.3 no baseband and use the AMSS 1.5.1+ and follow all in the guide or do i juste use the 1.5.3 no baseband and skip the AMSS 1.5.1+ in the guide?

Hey...I have the rogers streak and was wondering if I update to dj steve's custom rom will i run into issues when the actual Rogers 2.2 comes out? Will I be able to put the stock version back on? I am a bit worried for warranty purposes as well...can it be brought back to stock or is it a one way ticket? Reason I ask is I also have several phones including a Rogers Acer liquid e and unfortunetly can't go back to the stock version of froyo because of some thing Acer and Rogers did in the update that recognizes the fact my phone was rooted and not running a rogers baseband or something like that...I just sold my Galaxy s because I was sick of dealing with Samsung and their issues....So from what I can tell Rogers is only releasing the froyo update in late spring and 3-4 months is crazy considering most of the other countries already have froyo on their streaks...Man Rogers is so bad for their updates...Anyways...can i temporarily update to the leaked versions or should I wait? Thanks

you are correct. if you want to use the rebelsim, you HAVE TO use the no baseband version. 1.5.3 is the latest version
thanks for the great guide, I just got mine today and its already running 2.2 on 318 baseband
its true that u can qdl from any version though so I went straight from 1.6 to 2.2 prerelease then to 318 using the link in the streakdroid guide for beyond qdl

Thanks to the OP, I updated my Rogers Streak from stock 1.6 to 2.2 to StreakDroid 1.6 yesterday!
Despite my reservations, it couldn't have been easier. I used the QDLTool to jump from 1.6 to 2.2 directly, and I then followed the additional instructions on the StreakDroid site to flash the rom. The hardest part was installing ClockworkMod Recovery prior to all that to do a rom backup. For some reason it took many tries to get it to hold, but eventually it worked.
Unfortunately I may be in the minority but I dislike the new homescreen layout. I still haven't found a way to get icons and widgets to stay close together like they did in the stock 1.6 version.
Hi guys,
I guess i have bricked the device while updating to 2.2.
As far as i know i have done nothing wrong i followed the Guide step by Step and Downgrade to AT&T firmware as the first guide in this post.
While i was running QLDtool it errored out and Turned off by itself. After since i have tried everything and the Device just Doesn't have power anymore. Pluging into wall socket is not giving anything either.
Any thoughts on this?? Any Help will be appreciated.

from what i understand, you need a launcher that can let you edit the number or rows and columns on each homescreen, im currently using launcher pro and have 8 columns and 6 rows in landscape. hope this helps as im a new user too so not sure if this is what you meant

You're exactly right. I spent an hour reinstalling StreakDroid 1.6.0 with different DPI settings before giving up in frustration, but I found the settings menu for ADW the next day. I used a 6 x 6 grid and disabled automatic stretching, and that way my picture frames look perfect.
Great work on the rom guys! My Streak feels much more smooth and responsive than under stock 1.6.
Andy you shouldn't have a problem as long as you get a copy of the Update.pig you should be able to revert back.

Also check your density on the 1.6 streakdroid install. when i used us120 or denisty120- -160 they were to far apart. i also found that US180 didn't work the phone wouldn't boot. i had to use density180 vs us180 and everything is perfect. right amount of space. i installed just gingerbread stock launcher and im using the adw ex launcher its the best in my eyes.

Pull the battery out and put it back in.
If the streak looses power, it will be stuck in a power off state and plugging in the cord will do nothing.
After you reseated the battery, you should be able to charge the device again.
After it is charged, follow from where you left off.
Anyone here have a Xoom? And did you root it? And is it as easy as the x2 or a little more involved?
I've got one. Rooted and running Tiamat Moray 2.2.2.
As far as rooting goes, I don't know of a one click available for it although there may be. There wasn't at the time I rooted mine. When I rooted mine it was a matter of unlocking the Xoom, installing CWR via fastboot and then flashing a rooted stock rom using CWR to do it. That was quite a while ago though. I think there are ways to root without flashing a rom now but as far as I know, they all involve using ADB and fastboot. It's just a matter of typing commands. It's not hard though. Just follow instructions and you'll be fine.
I don't spend a lot of time in that forum now because I'm happy as can be with what I have now. Moray is a nice rom. Everything works and it's super smooth. However, the Moray rom is for Wi-Fi only and 3G devices. It doesn't support 4G at the moment. How you root it, what rom you put on it, etc., all depends on what kind of device you have so you have to pay attention when checking out the different things available. They all state which devices they support. I'd post links to what you need but I don't know just what it is you have so I'll just post a link to the Xoom developer forum. If you haven't been there yet, have a look. Everything you need to know, you'll find there.

Well iam about to give up, i have tried to root my dell venue for the couple days and have had no sucess. i have used several versions of superoneclick like others sugested and have also been toggleing the usb debugging on and off aswell. i guess luck is not on my side, any suggestings, i really want to sideload apps since my phone dose not have the unknown sources option... damn att
please help
Read this - search is your friend
got the unknown sources
thanks but remember that i couldnt sideload apps with a att phone, but i figured it out without rooting, now that i have my unkown sources option i can root, i know that some att phone have the option but my dell venue didnt till now
For future readers who cme across this thread the method I linked to does NOT require that you have unknown sources enabled. I linked to an alternative that would work without using an app.

You can update straight to CM7 or MIUI GB, both are rooted and both are much better than stock. If you like stock, then there are rooted GB builds available too.
Greetings everyone
I have this awesome tablet for my young son who loves to watch YouTube kids
The current FW which is an OFW will not permit the DL of YouTube kids I think due to compatibility issues etc.
I ask anyone to advise on how to load a CFW or something to allow me to run YTK and other items. Obviously I would need android 5 or higher.
Where could I find step by step instructions to do this? I am not sure of the detailed ways so I am needing patience from you.
I would appreciate all the help, so will my son
Thank you
Have you tried rooting it? What model is your tablet - 10.1?

Try the 7.1.2 Nougat Rom
I prefer Nougat without gapps and overclock the CPU to 1400 MHz.

Good luck
I have the 10.1 GT-P 7510 I had XDA root it for me through their 1 click root system because I didn't want to take the chance on messing anything up because you read so much online about people bricking devices trying to root them. I also have kind of the same question, I have an old version of Netflix on mine that runs perfect but would like to go to a newer version, and I would also like to install kodi or xbmc on this tablet so I can take it with me on trips and be able to watch movies. after extensive searching I was able to find out that supposedly kodi 14.2 helix will work on this tablet, but trying to find it is essentially impossible, and when you do find the file it always seems to be broken in some way and wont work, supposedly there is a program called SBMC which is a fork of kodi for this device, but can't find that one anywhere. so my question is this because I am so new to this rooting thing. My tablet is already rooted with Super SU and I would like to know where I could look to get instructions how to install the nougat 7.1 rom or even a different rom to be able to go to some newer apps at this point I have been a little timid about doing too much because at least Netflix is working, and the xda tech told me not to factory reset it update it and a few other things, and a few other things because then it won't be rooted. any help in this will be very much appreciated and please feel free to move this post if it is in the wrong area and I apologize it is my first time posting. I will say this though it was well worth the 40.00 to have xda root it for me because it can be a bigger process than people think depending on the device the guys are awesome.

I also have a 10.1 GT-P 7510(wifi) 32g. The P7500 and the P7510 are basically the same and use the same firmware. I've had mine rooted for a long time. I use Kingoroot because it's easily replaced with Supersu. As far as ROMs go I've had only difficulties. What I can tell you is that for myself this has been a little difficult up til possibly just recently. There are many ROMs available here at XDA, most of them were unstable. The 7.1 Nougat, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/development/rom-android-7-0-nougat-t3471350, looks promising but I haven't got CWM recovery to flash the zip without giving me a "No File_Contexts warning. If I could get a tar.md5 ROM I would use Odin3 in a heartbeat. Version 1.85 is the one I use most and thats just to undo the softbricks, by flashing in the original firmware. If you live in the US its this, https://www.androidlegend.com/update-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wi-fi-p7510-with-ics-4-0-4-uelpl/. Run that through Odin if you ever get stuck in bootloop crash the tab, pretty much anything but a hardbrick. The 8.0 Rom I'm waiting for the developers to complete.
