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!

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.

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.

Does not work for me either on Baseband version GAUSB1A131921 - EU which is a locked o2 phone.
Any ideas anyone?
Did you try version 1.5.4 of superoneclick ? the newest version didn't work but 1.5.4 did
Is there a new root method for 2.2 or will the old one still work?
The old ones don't work for the official new froyo, try the one in my thread here

no.
Also turn on debugging while using this.
All this does is push a SUPERUSER.apk into your files, so you won't even have to reboot, but i suggest you do.
-open the program
-connect phone with debugging on
-click "start" root, you'll see some thigns going on the program, its doing something to your system idk, im not a dev or anythign lol, then it pushes a superuser.apk and then your good to go.
-reboot suggested RIGHT AFTER IT TELLS YOU ITS FINISHED, but not needed.
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

None of the tutorials shows rogers 7921 to anything.i found one post showing that I can go to 309 recovery and then direct to 318 update rom.i have gotten as far as trying to install the update rom from my sd card but the screen just stays blank.i don't know how long I am suppose to leave it to install or what it should look like when it is installing.
rogers 7921 build
Rooted
Clockwork recovery
Adb drivers installed
fastboot recovery complete

Any advise welcome.

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.

I'm rooted.
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.

Im not sure if I should post this here, but I will go ahead and try. Im on stock GB and was just wondering how I can apply the Eclipse rom? Like how to even root, Im a noob so I might need some help haha.

Sorry Im confused. To do so we have to go back to froyo?

Dang! Okay so just follow all those instructions... I know its early but of the FEW roms available, do you guys like eclipse the best??
seems like a lot of work lolol...
You do not have to go back to froyo. As a matter of speaking, it will not work if you go all the way back to froyo because you still need a gb kernel.
Never mind. I'm wrong for not reading. I didn't realize that you were on stock gb. With stock gb, yes you need to go back.
Once you are on rooted GB, you can use the bootstrap recovery to flash any of the custom roms available for GB without going back to froyo every time. The real chore is getting rooted.

Sweet so we can always switch roms! nice, dang, I wish I could have someone root my phone lol
Okay, so here is basically what you need to do.
1. sbf back to froyo
2. Go find the link to p3droid's pre-rooted gb update.
3. Install bootstrap for your phone.
4. Find your rom that's right for you.
5. Use bootstrap.
6. ???
7. Profit!
Hope this helps

What do you mean by bootstrap. When I first rooted I had an app that let me boot into recovery. Is that bootstrap? If so once i updated to p3's gb I don't see that app anymore. This is probably a really lame issue, but some clarification would be greatly appreciated!
Once on p3's GB, reinstall the bootstrap recovery app, and use it to flash the eclipse rom.

What he said. reinstall the system recovery apk.
I don't know if you can do it on a mac, because I don't have one, but I'm almost positive that android sdk works on mac, so I want to day that you probably can. In addition, I wanted to post a link to a helpful thread on sbf to froyo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193818
