Anyone tried this rom?
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/LatestBuild/LatestBuild_31.html
I just tried flashing it and half way through it said something like FOTA model name mismatch... i wonder if its 2.2 because so far dell is planning to update streaks straight to 2.2
Side note, since i put my streak on the leaked UK 2.1 my baseband has changed to 21-US (should be 31-US) and after returning to the stock 1.6 6601 US rom, baseband is still at 21-US so it think thats why it isn't working for me.
How to flash:
Download it on your PC
Place on the rood of your storage card
Rename to Update.pkg
Reboot device into recovery mode (hold both volume buttons while powering on device)
Select the second option.
I have just been reading about this on the net and he said the same is it or is it not
when I try and go to that site on my Streak it just gives me a error.
I was able to down load it on my comp.
how did you try and load it on your streak?

Copy it over to the root of your storage card and rename it to "Update.pkg" (without quotes ofcourse)
Then boot device into recovery mode (Hold both volume buttons while turning on)
When in recovery mode, select the second option.
Curren't i'm getting "FOTA model name mismatch. device will reboot in 30 seconds" half way through flash.
well I got it to download.
During the update mine stoped about half way through and said:
system up to date, will reboot in 30 sec.
andbody else try yet?
are all of you guys on 2.1? that might be the reason for the FOTA mismatch. this might be intended for US 31 models and after doing the 2.1 eclair update the streak identifies itself as the 21 (O2) model. probably will have to flash stock us recovery, and stock system and boot before this one would update.
Just read the post for the stock images, op does state that baseband does not return to 31 even after flash, so that won't work either..
I am still on the US 1.6 rom

could you check if your camera stillworks fine. I had the same info as you did, but my camera is black and white now.
edit:
never mind, solved it, needed a restart.
Not Likely New Version
Guys,
If you search on the file name, you will see it has been around / available for a few months.
It looks like the 31 is for the US baseband, and the 21 is for the UK baseband.
Probably it is just an older version of 1.6, so even if you were able to download / install, you would be going backwards....
Good luck
Michael
its just a link to the latest 'official' release of the US rom...in my case 1.6 build 4917...which I already have...this is not 2.1 or 2.2

Has anybody with a UK/O2 Streak (21) been able to roll back from the stock 2.1 (installed successfully) update to stock 1.6?
I have searched xda and modaco for days and have tried everything but I always get stuck at the same spot.
I am able to flash stock recovery but when I use option 2 to apply update.pkg from my sd card, it gets stuck about 1/4 of the way and says "Software is up to date. System will reboot in 30 seconds." And then when it reboots, it's still at 2.1.
I have also tried using clockworkmod recovery (several versions), which only seems to work immediately after I flash it (sometimes clockwork menu won't show up and it reverts back to stock recovery - are they being flashed to different partitions or something?). Using clockwork, I tried to apply update.pkg and when that didn't work I tried update.zip. Both get stuck on black screen.
I have tried using ROM Manager too, but that never works. It says it will reboot into recovery but ends up just rebooting normally back into 2.1.
I tried stock and custom 1.6 ROMs with no success.
Is there a way to force the system to apply the update.pkg even if it thinks it is already up to date?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been pulling my hair out over this for days. Thanks in advance.
I am having the same exact issue as described above. "Software is up to date."
And then the device just reboots into 2.1 and starts the cycle of endless reboots.
Anyone got a solution for this?
Please help.
The guides in the stickeys do work I have gone from 21 back to 16 and back to 21 about 6 times

Yeah but all the methods in the stickies need the use of a PC. I am on a Mac. Is there a way to use fastboot on a mac? Or a way where I can just copy the update.pkg on my sd card and use that directly?
When I use the SD card method, 1.6 refuses to install saying that the "Software is up to date."
Thats what I need help with.
Try this page
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...1-6-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/
It lists mac commands to load the recovery image to your phone.
MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-mac.sh' followed by './install-recovery-mac.sh'
Yeah I tried those commands but I get a "No such file or directory" message in Terminal. I have read a lot of threads here and over at Modaco but can not make head or tail of the issue or what to do.
I have a O2 Streak that I had put 2.1 from O2's official release using the Recovery mode and putting update.pkg on SD card. After that I have been having a ton of issues with constant reboots and sometimes getting stuck on Dell logo.
I wanted to go back to stock 1.6 and have been unable to do so. What are my options right now and how can I fix this? I would prefer to keep 2.1 but don't mind going back to 1.6 if that will be more stable.
stability
Sorry if i am incorrect about this.
As far as i can tell you want to stay with offical roms due to warranty.
I have heard that if you go back to 1.6 even though official, dell wont cover the warranty.
If you are not worried about try :-
The leaked 2.1 rom. I hear it is more stable than 02's 2.1 rom.
Or even go for stephen Hydes brilliant 2.2 roms.
I don't care about official or unofficial. I'll try loading one of the other roms. MY issues have been with getting the rom on the device though. Lets see.

I had Streakdroid 1.80.
Follow the directions above but only the last OC 1.6 to At&t 1.6
Make sure you have OEM recovery flashed. Streakmod etc wont work.
Put the 3 files on your current system. And the new rom on the SD.
Flash the boot.ing as instructed and then restart your current rom. After it finishes turn on development in the applications settings. Then reboot into recovery. Then install from update.apk this will install the new AT&T rom. If if fails flash boot.img again and repeat.
FYI: the new 340 does not look any different then the 318 or 170 for that matter.
DJ's roms are better and faster. But if OEM is your desire do this.
I'm on 2.2 318 and am trying to go back to stock 1.6 but after extracting all the system files to the sd, completing the steps for that and flashing the new boot.img- I can't get my Streak to boot fully into Android to apply the 1.6 update.... If I try to boot it sticks at the Dell logo, no animation, just the logo with all 3 soft keys lit. If I go into Recovery and try to apply the update, I get a signature verification failure error. I also tried a factory reset from Recovery but cannot get passed the logo.
I have done this a trillion times before without any issues. Why won't it cooperate now? I have one of the temperamental Streaks that only likes Official Stock ROMs. I get FCs and freezes out the whazoo on anything but so thats why I am going to Stock AT&T 1.6 and update to their 2.2...

Try using the repair tool that will put a 2.2 rom on it.
You don't have to go to stock 1.6. Just follow the instructions on your current system and it will let the new AT&T 2.2 install. I always to a factory reset before installing a new rom. That stops FCs for me.

Hi -
Could you be more specific on "OEM recovery"?
I have downgraded from 318 all the way back to US OEM 1.6 with BB of 31 which matches OEM version. Build number 6601. btw: I had to do a Nandroid flash to get it to 1.6.
It downloads the 340 update fine but gets hung up on the install process - stuck on logo.
Seems like I need to flash the right recovery but I always get a blank screen when I boot into recovery and choose update from SD card.
Can you link me to the right recovery file?
Thanks.

I do have a 2.2 rom installed already. I used the QDL tool to get it there so I shouldn't have to do it again... I tried updating to AT&T's new 2.2 yesterday from the 2.2 (318) I am currently on but it won't let me. I thought I had to go back down to 1.6 and get my update via notification but now my Streak wont get off the logo.
I hope this is making sense because from what you said, I don't think it does. Its hard to type what my problem is in a way that all can understand.
I am on Rogers and had the same problem. Was on 2.2 through QDL tool. I got an email from Rogers that their official 2.2 update was now available.
Downloaded the update, it wouldn't install.
Probably because baseband is different?
Anyway, did the same thing, tried downgrade back to O2's 1.6, then hopefully AT&T's 1.6, but got stuck after getting down to 2.1. Black screen during update.pkg, Dell logo only when just doing a normal boot.
Tried loading 1.6, 2.1 Rom's again to no avail.
Managed to get the phone working again using the QDL tool to get back to 2.2.
Tried doing the Rogers update again, but not working.
Help!

I can't get mine to boot normal unless I use the QDL tool to pull it out of the logo screen. If we already have a US Basdeband we shouldn't have to upgrade to O2 and back down again, right?
What do the people, like myself, do who are on the 2.2 318 via QDL Tool build to get the AT&T 2.2 rom released yesterday?? I am already on a US AT&T rom so what sense does it make to have to upgrade to an O2 rom and go back to AT&T (I am thinking out loud...).
I don't want Steve's ROM or anything else... my phone does not play well with those. I want the new official 2.2 released to AT&T locked Streaks.

There are three files that need to be in place. and a boot.img file that is installed from fastboot.

Look at what he says to do the the 1.6 non at&t rom and do that to any 2.2 and it worked.
But really 318 is that same thing. and Streakdroid 1.8.0 is 100% better.

I finally bought root Explorer from the market. If there is a free alternative that can change your /system file to r/w (read/write) I could not find one.
You [email protected]!!!!!!!!! (no other alternative, dont think you are smarter than anybodye else, is non-negotiable) to move the 3 files over into your /system file, because the update will not go through. It says there is a "device mismatch" (or something like that). I tried to short circuit all the processes at every step and was unable to beat the system.
Heres what ya gotta do:
1. Follow the part about downgrading to 1.6, then check for software update.
If you have upgraded to ANY other version of 2.2 ya gotta move the 3 files over.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...92&postcount=4
Finally I gotta say that it is not worth all the fuss really. You lose tethering and installing outside apps. You gain nothing.
This release is best for djSteve, because he can take all the good parts of this build and put into his next release of streakdroid.

I hosed mine to a black screen that would not turn on.
The repair tool would not get it going.
I found streakflash I tried to get a link, I'll keep looking.
I launched steakflash.
I pulled the battery put battery and back on. As I plugged in the cable I held the UP volume button. Streakflash recognised it and I ran it through.
That got me back up. I forget what ROM it was. I then ran repair tool.
That puts 2.2 pre release.
If I can do it anyone can.

Thats what I'm trying to say... the only way I can get out of the logo is by doing this. I am on the pre-release of 2.2 as of now but I want to downgrade to AT&T 1.6 and back to the new AT&T 2.2 rom but it wont cooperate with me. Whenever I try, I get the silly logo and have to use QDL to get me unstuck.

Ok. Forget going to 1.6. Download the Rom and the files and. OTA won't work.
Follow the instructions and put the three files and the boot.ing on your 2.2 Rom.
Put the new update.pkg on the sd
Reboot recovery select to instal and it will install it.
I have done this twice.

It will not work!! I keep getting the status 7 error which then sends it to reboot but never gets pass the logo! The only way to get out of the logo is to pull the battery and use QDL to put me back at 318.
Whats the malfunction with this? I have always managed to update in the past. Why won't this one go through?
First off I did quick scan of this post so if I am repeating I apologize in advance. You MUST go back to AT&T 1.6 with no Streakmod or Clockwork need Dell recovery program. 340 does a scan as it loads and if finds you modified the Steak in anyway stops the install. I had to purchase Root Explorer to complete my conversion, only thing I can say is Root Explorer is worth the money, as for 340, if you are running Steve's ROM with no problems stay with it. Here is the link to the instructions I used, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8558692&postcount=4, good luck.

If you install the three files and flash the boot.img file to a 2.2 rom and have the new 340 apk as update.apk on the sd it will install. I have done it twice. Once from 1.7.0.and once from the pre release 2.2.
BUT it is not worth the trouble. 318 is a better stock rom.

I could not be more serious right now when I tell you mine would not work that way... I had to go from 318 2.2> O2 2.1> O2 1.6 and am FINALLY booting into AT&T 1.6 as I type. A lot of people have Streaks that aren't able to do as yours did, mine is one of them. I don't know if its because my Streak is an older one, I bought it in August, or what the deal is but I was not joking!
All is well though. I have finally gotten it back to Stock AT&T 1.6 with my original baseband of 31. Now I shall see if I can go to the new AT&T Froyo...

Hiya,
So I bought a Dell Streak off Craigslist that happened to support T-Mobile AWS 3G. I didn't do enough research to realize that the Android 2.2 update was only out for unlocked and AT&T Streaks, and since the AWS Streak isn't supported by Dell, there's little to no chance of an official 2.2 upgrade.
This morning I decided to try flashing DjSteve's ROM, and after trying several Clockwork recoveries, I found an older version, 1.8.1, I believe, that wouldn't just sit at a blackscreen. It wouldn't flash either Steve's 1.5.1, 1.6.1 or 1.7 ROMs, so I decided to use FASTBOOT to flash over the baseband Steve recommends for 1.5.1 and higher of his ROM.
The ROMs still would not flash, and when the Streak boots back into the Stock 1.6, I have no cellular connection whatsoever, get strange warnings about my battery and charger not being supported (even though it wasn't plugged in) and in Settings > About, the baseband shows up as unknown.
I thought about trying to flash an AT&T baseband, and then flash the ROM, but I don't think this would give me my 3G back. I did not make any nandroid backups and I can't seem to locate the original AWS stock baseband to flash back to.
I also tried flashing StreakModRecovery using FASTBOOT, but neither 0.3.2 or 0.3.2.6beta work, they just sit at a black screen similar to what ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 does.
I just want to get 2.2 on my Streak and have my cellular and 3G working again.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks much.
there are a few recent posts on aws streaks and their stock 2.2. I just read a few yesterday...

Can you tell us your current build number/baseband number before you update?
so far the recent aws streaks reporting in have builds not currently released to the public and are worth backing up before updating.

I was only able to find information about rooting the AWS Streak 2.2. It's possible I missed it, and if so, could you please point me in the right direction? I have been looking for a few hours, both on here and Google.
My Streak is:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.29-perf
OEM version: GAUSB1A111933
Build number 9158
After attempting to flash the baseband, 4.AMSS for v1.5.1+, from the downloads section on streakdroid.com, I lost my cellular connectivity, Baseband shows up as unknown, my button LEDs flash randomly and the device tells me my battery or charger is broken even though it's not plugged in.
Also, I am not able to update. I can't get either a recent version of ClockworkMod or StreakMod to flash correctly - they just show a blackscreen after selecting Update package from SD Card from the Dell recovery (vol up + vol down & power), option 2. I was only able to get an older version of ClockworkMod to work, and that still would not flash DjSteve's ROM. I got an error code, Status 7.
!! 119 is yet another new version
could you please provide a nandroid of it? it's yet another version that's completely unique to the AWS streaks
The baseband you flashed only works with froyo builds, since you're currently on a 1.6 build it shouldnt work. You need to update your streak to an official 2.2 build to get back connectivity and as a prereq to flashing streakdroid

I suppose that makes sense that a 2.2 baseband doesn't work with 1.6.
I would be happy to provide a nandroid of it, if I can get some type of recovery installed again. I always end up with the black screen after doing option 2 from Dell recovery with both Clockwork and StreakMod.
Have you tried multiple versions and not just the most recent one? I think other AWS users have had trouble with the most recent ones. (Also keep in mind your streak is rather old compared to theirs, I really dont know the tiny differences that make some streaks not work with some recoveries/firmwares)

The only recovery I can get to load is ClockworkMod REcovery v1.8.1.7
It opens with the following errors:
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't find MISC:
ClockworkMod Recovery v1.8.1.7
E:Can't find MISC:
Attempting to perform a nandroid backup with this recovery fails, and says the following:
SD Card space free: 14737MB
Backing up boot...
Error while dumping boot image!
E:Can't find MISC:
I don't really know what else to do, other than to try and poke around and figure out how to go from 1.6 to 2.2 on my goofy version of the Streak.
Do you have any ideas?
If you cant nandroid, trying adb pulling the entire system folder.
Weither or not you can you might need to use qdl tool to update, I think the bootloaders on your streak might be too old to like the recoveries you tried (but I dont have any hard knowledge) I'm not really an expert on updating
okay, i don't know if this is the right place to post this, but i have ran out of options.. i have searched and searched and still no luck.
so i have a white streak and been tryng to upgrade it to 2.1 or 2.2. followed all different guides, loaded the stock revocery img for 1.6 o2, when i try to flas hthe o2 img to o2 1.6, the process goes to about 20-40% it restarts itself and nothing happens, still back to 1.6.
okay, so i guess let's try the clockwork method, 1st time i used the 1.8.1.7 clockwork, with SteakDroid 1.9.0, it also installs half way and get a error message 7, it restarts, nothing happen..
then i tried using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1, all i get is bllank screen, (for both different img file)
so i'm thinkin, maybe i need to root the phone 1st? so i flash it with superboot, tried 2 different version, one version got me stuck on dell logo, and the other version got me nothing but keep on restarting the dell logo. now my phone wont start at all.
i guess, okay, let me give the QDL tool a try, still doesnt work.. i get:
Run HEX success
ERROR[D14]: Streaming hello Failed!
ERROR: Download fail!
Please remove the battery and try again.
over and over again..
now my streak wont even startup, any one please help!?

I just got a white dell streak on ATT too and muddled through these forums trying to figure out how to get 2.2 on it (waited several days and no over the air update)
I am now running streakmod 1.9 and i think it is all good. I'll give you quick run down of what i did to get to official ATT 2.2
1. Download the official ATT update.pkg from the Dell Streak Wiki...
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_340_14844_31.pkg
2. Place the file on the root of your sd card. Since your phone is messed up, you can just take your sd card out and load it via computer.
3. put sd card back in your phone. now turn phone back on while holding down both volume up and down buttons and power button at same time. you should come to a screen with four options. pick option 2. The update package should run and when its done, your phone will be on the official 2.2
If you want instructions after that on how to get root and custom rom on your phone let me know. That is easy too, but it took alot of messing up on my part to find the right method. Some people think it is as clear as day, but i agree the info in these forums is a little fragmented.
Good luck!
thanks for the info, now is saying FOTA name mismatch, device will restart in 30 seconds, which recovery img did you use to flash this?
i used the dell recovery. i apologize, i believe i left out a step. you n
You need to go back to stock Dell recovery. Wiki page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
File link here: http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/340/recovery.img
do you know how to flash recovery from fastboot?
Once you flash that stock recovery, you need to follow the instructions. believe it should work after that.
is urs locked to ATT or unlocked? I have a white factory unlocked streak and I was able to upgrade to 2.2.2 with no problem...
im not sure if it being unlocked or not makes a difference but maybe it could.. when I get to my laptop, ill post wat I did and u can see if that works
but I can tell u I was on 305 rooted n I used QDL tool just to make sure everything was factory 305.. then downloaded the 345 AWS rom pkg from the dell wiki, renamed to Update.pkg n flashed using stock recovery n got no problems, then followed steps in the general sections to get root..
ill post the links n everything when I get home

Good point.
I didn't know they sold white unlocked streaks. Mine is ATT. If legend is using different than ATT, your probably a better help.
Everytime i get a new phone, i say i'm going to just stick with the stock software. somehow still, i always end up over at XDA complicating my life. Oh well... Thank you android...
QDL Tool

345 AWS
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_345_15380_00.pkg
1 Turn phone off. Open qdl tool and hold VOL UP while connecting phone via usb. If you have the right drivers, qdl should recognize it. Hit RUN to flash everything and get back to a stock 305 rom.
2 Rename the 345 pkg to UPDATE.PKG and copy to ur sd card. Hold VOL UP + DOWN while turning phone on to get to recovery. Choose option 2 to flash the update.pkg. Let it run and just wait until the phone boots completely up. You will be at a stock Android 2.2.2.
If you want to root, follow the steps here...

my was a locked att version. but any how, i ended up going to best buy and did an exchange, since i got it couple days ago. then i used mongofrye's link to the 2.2 pkg file, with out flashing the recovery, just put the pkg in sdcard and upgraded it using the stock recovery img. worked in 15 mins, not i'm on 2.2! thanks for all the help guys, this thread will surely be a good reference for future flashing. cheers!
My dell streak just went off a couple of days ago and got stuck on the dell logo when it restarted. Its been like that ever since. i tried factory reset a number of times but it still wouldn't work and the phone "passes" the sd/sim test. I've searched for solutions on the internet for a while now and NOTHING... i found out i could actually get it to work if i flashed a custom recovery img and matching ROM but... i cant use flashboot cos my USBport no longer works, although I can get into flashboot. And i also tried updating the ROM with a pkg i downloaded off the internet but i get a blank black screen when i choose the "update via sd card" option. Was just wondering if there was a way i could still flash a stock/custom img and ROM via the "update via sd card option" in recovery. (my phonez unrooted and its got a stock ROM atm). PLEASE HELLLPPPPPP!!!! (current OS version= GAUSB1A111231)
Change the size of the font used in your post. We can read perfectly well here.
You currently are running Android 1.6 and can install a 1.6 ROM to fix your bootloop, but upgrading will not be possible unless you fix the connector port. This is because the recovery and the ROM must have matching regions. To change the recovery requires fastboot, thus no port, no upgrade.
thanks but....

Similar answer to the OP. Get your connector port fixed or replaced if you expect to resurrect your Streak. You have a stock recovery as well as a really old version of Android according to the baseband. Custom ROMs cannot be installed using a stock recovery.
