Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but, I have a At&t Streak, I rooted it fine, and then when trying to get the o2 1.6 on it with the steps at Streak smart i got this "E: Can't Open/sdcard/update.pkg (bad)" at the final stage. Any ideas why? i've tried to download it from different places, and re extract the file thinking it was a corruption on my part, but nothing has worked. I really want 2.1 just wondering if any one can help me. Im also new to android so im getting over whelmed with this. Plus i hate the flash buttons with the root.

Ok, so I found a file that updated my Sprint Hero from 1.5 to a build of 2.1. Ive been trying to root the phone for some time now since I've done this update and have had 0 success rooting the device. I want to load a custom rom onto my device and I think i might have made things hard by going to this 2.1 update. This is what I see on my software information screen on my phone:
Firmware Version
2.1 -update1
Baseband Version
2.42.00.03.10
Kernel version
2.6.29-d30020a8
Build Number
2.20.651.1 CL157175 test-keys
Software number
2.20.651.1
Browser version
Webkit 3.1
PRI Version
2. 10_003
PRL Version
60660
Any ideas on how to get back to 1.5???
I think the bootloader has been locked by your update. You probably need to try a goldcard method to downgrade the rom before rooting again.
I tried the Goldcard method and it didnt work. Maybe im missing something but Ive tried the gold card numerous times and still get no where. Maybe Im doing it wrong or the sdcard im using wont work. Im so lost on this. Any more help would be appreciated.

some people report that they have to try multiple times and it eventually works. Just keep at it.
Make sure you follow the guide word for word.
Im gonna try now, if this doesnt work, then i have a source at my local store that I can have my hero swapped out and then start fresh with a HERO with 1.5 on it. Although i must say that this version of 2.1, if it is really the Sprint leak s pretty smooth running. I just envy all the custom ROMS i see and the live wallpapers. Pretty interesting things you can do with an ANDROID. Boo APPLE.
Guys I really need help here. I used a 2.1 rom on my GSM HTC Hero a few days back. I got it upgraded to 2.1 update-1. Then I found out that it sucked and tried to revert it with no success. I've gotten a stock 1.5 nandroid but have absolutely no idea how to use it. I've tried downgrading by various methods by I keep getting stuck at error [170] or error [171]. I'm getting ready to throw my phone out the window. Pls help.

was it rooted before?
Moved to Q&A
I rooted it then I used a rom. I've tried several different ways of rooting it before trying to use the nandroid. But the problem is, I can't find a method to actually use the nandroid.
Let me get this right, you want to downgrade from 2.1 to 1.5 and your gettin error 170?
Yeah that's it.
I've an O2 streak, Firmware 1.6 build 3883 the baseband ends in -EU, I'm an O2 UK customer oem version ends in 21
After much researching I decided to upgrade to 2.1 so downloaded the O2 upgrade (update-6941-21.pkg) it seems this is the best build.
Copied file to sd card, renamed to update.pkg , double checked the md5 sum was correct then powered off the phone. I'm using Linux to copy files to the sdcard.
Held down both volume keys while powering on, selected second option (update), screen went black but a light could be seen behind it.
At this stage I'm not sure what to expect, the phone doesn't appear to do anything. None of the instructions tell you how long to wait, I expected 10 to 15 minutes max, after an hour and no change I reluctantly pulled the battery, the phone booted straight up into the old operating system (phew).
Tried an official 1.6 rom 4399 build, exactly the same result.
Is my phone being treat as if it has a custom rom is one idea that I'm considering, anyone had a similar experience, anyone offer any suggestions ?.
It's not as simple as just putting the .img file on your SD card. You have to flash a stock recovery. There's a sticky called "Complete Guide to Flashing Your Streak" or something close, that will hold all your answers.

Personally I wouldn't even bother with 2.1
Goto the guide N upgrade to dj_Steve's 2.2 if I follow the guide it's quite straight forward N there is always plenty of help here if u get stuck
DJ_Steve has done a amazing job N made the streak what it should have been. I love BBC iplayer on it..although I now keep going over my T-Mobile broadband allowance LOL

Thanks for the reply.
It's not apparent to a newbie that to upgrade from a stock rom to another stock rom that you need to flash a stock recovery, at least it wasn't to me (being thick ?).
Maybe it's just a little piece of knowledge that people who've done this before take for granted and it never crosses their mind that newcomers would think otherwise.
Before you replied I managed to upgrade by doing as you said, I flashed the stock recovery with fastboot, put update.pkg on the sd card, held my breath and lo and behold I saw a screen that allowed me to continue (I'm going to try and take a photo of this for other newcomers benefit as in all the posts I read nothing indicated what you should see when upgrading).
I tried upgrading from build 8443 to 2.1 but ended up stuck at the Dell logo, (this was an early build that many people said was better than the last 2.1 release).
Tried upgrading again (different version) and finally managed to get 2.1 on the Streak.
Now for 2.2
Thanks for your help in any case, much appreciated.
I already posted my problems on this wall and I tried every solutions that people suggested me but it still not working....... bad.....
So I wanna say exactly what is my problems.
First of all, I rooted my phone when the version was 2.1 eclair and I did not use any custom rom I just used lagfix app
Secondary, I watched news that I was able to upgrade my phone to 2.2 froyo by official update. so I tried to update my version by kies mini without eliminating rooting system. the updating was working and my phone rebooted automatically but after I saw the hallmark as samsung galaxy s on the screen, my phone's screen was dark and I cannot see anything. Just sometimes it vibrated.
thirdly, I tried to recover by odin and official rom but it did not work.
at that time, odin stopped when it installed modem.bin (I used odin v1.0 first and I changed v1.7)
Finally, I posted my problems on this board and I got some suggestions from other great guys. so I tried 3 roms( T959UVJFD.tar, T959UVJI6.tar and another one) and I tried whole version odin to solve the problems. However, it did not work for me...........
WHatever I used different roms, odin always stopped when it installs modem.bin.... I think that is the most serious problem....
Please if you guys know how to solve this problems.... plz say me..... I will really appreciate guys..... Thanks
If I follow you guys instructions and my phone get back... I will give the poster 20 bucks by paypal...... plz help me..
Will you go to my noob guide and follow my instructions for the ALT METHOD? (its in my signature)
Be sure and download the correct files. And Please use the ODIN version I suggest.
I included videos and I suggest watching them to make sure you are not doing something silly.
If it works, give the money to a developer of your choice... or give it to me and I will give it to some I have not donated to recently.

Was there a lag fix in place when you tried to ODIN back to stock, My very first Rom I ever flashed I had OCLF in place and tried to ODIN back to the original files and it was a nightmare getting it to work. You can always blame TMO on there 2.2 update and they more than likely will give you a new phone, But follow ss10823's thread he has some good stuff out there.
Hello, I am trying to flash NFHimself's Bell 2.2.2 CWM in order to install the recent 2.3.4 OTA which won't install but I keep getting the following error, can anyone help?
assert failed: package_extract_file(''app.bin'', ''/internal/app.bin'')
E:Error in /sdcard/Bell_2.2.2.stock.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
I've tried this many many times now, anybody know how to get this to work?
I'm desperately trying to get Gingerbread Update,
Thanks, and cheers from Ottawa area!
did you try posting in the actual thread (i haven't looked thus me asking)
make sure you are using Tenfars latest recovery to flash (i believe its the 6/30 update) anything else will lead to errors in my experience.
I cant post in the dev section i only have 2 posts lol... and i am currently trying to intall tenfar's 6/30 having a few complications using fastboot, currently searching on how to install... thanks

ok so thats where the initial problem lies, you need to be unlocked to use that recovery and then get the gobstopper.
what rom do you currently have on your device?
Just want to understand your current status before directing you.
I have stock bell 2.2.2 but I tried the webtop mod a few weeks ago, obviouly something went wrong and I tried everything to undo. Nothing worked, so next step was waiting for OTA to see if it would overwrite... It downloaded,but keeps getting stuck at the "!" screen with the little android for 3 hours, so reboot.Now I just want to be able to get GB so I go out and find it a stock rom to flash, so I found NFHimself's.
Now that doesnt work so, here I am... :'/

on the ! screen did you touch the right bottom corner of the screen? (opens it up to show you what the error is).
but none the less you need to be on tenfars recovery to flash this and to do that you need to have an unlocked bootloader.
Ok so I unlocked the bootloader, and now I'm trying to flash CWM by entering Android recovery but I'm getting the ! android screen again, they say I need to delete the recovery-install.sh in root explorer and unlock again. So I did, and I still can't get into the recovery to flash CWM... any ideas?
ok forgot to do one step, i just flashed CWM and rebooting, ill keep you posted
Wow, ok, so I got NFHimself's Stock Bell working, I downloaded the OTA, installed it to 70% and
E:Error in /cache/Blur_Version.0.37.23.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA.zip
so I erased cache, rebooted and somehow GB is installed... I happy i just hope everything is going to go ok...
good to hear make sure everything is running ok though if not you may need to try again.
same error
My bootloader is unlocked and I still cant seem to get past this same error. When I try to use fastboot it will just sit on "starting fastboot protocol".
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
what are you trying to do in fastboot?
Thanks for posting this question...I was looking for the same thing, and you (and the rest of the posters here) cleared my head right up
