Clair net précis à ce moment précis, non ! Nous sommes pas mal penchés sur la question
Do be clear atm the answer was NO ! We are many ppl who searching a solution for roll back to BB 00
ok thanks for clear answer on this one, prefer to wait for 3-5 weeks for official 2.1 or, perhaps, 2.2
P.S. Do not speak french....

The official 2.1 is already out and is a serious disappointment. You're better off either updating to the last 2.1 Beta or waiting until 2.2 is released.
Please be aware that it is also next to impossible to Brick your streak. You can ignore all the "help, i've bricked my streak threads" as 99% of them are not bricked.
Worse case scenario for any streak, fastboot flash the stock recovery image, then flash a stock .pkg ROM. Fixed.
I beleive there is no official update for 00-eu version yet....in case wrong -pls lemme know.

Dell said on the IFA2010 that 2.1 will come in october and 2.2 in november .. lets see if its OK, i have seen internal roadmaps where Streak release was planned fpr April .. i would link the offical article but i still cant post links .. what a **** ...
You can post link lines with "hxxp" in the front - people will manage to use them ...

Hi All
I am a complete newbie with Android and the Dell streak, I have had a play with some Win Mob ROMs on phones
I have just bought a second hand Dell Streak locked on o2 in the UK, It is running 1.6 software.
I am wanting to upgrade to 2.1, but the o2 website only shows how to do it over the air, and when I check for updates in the phone it says up to date.
Also if anyone reccomends a better ROM than that offered by o2, I woul be interested in rooting and loading that onto the device
I am currently reading through all the threads I can about android learning as much as possible, but thought i would post here as well
Thanks

Welcome to the android community and congratulations on getting a streak
To get you started take a look at the pinned topics on the top of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776883
Basically if you want to go to android 2.1 you will need to put one of the 'update.pkg' files on the root of your sd card to kick off the update [flash] process
If you want 2.2 you will need to install a custom recovery image where you can flash the 2.2 rom from
also goto http://android.modaco.com/category/436/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/ for more info
Welcome to streakland LOL.
Seriously I really wouldn't bother with anything other than 2.2. Now you can go down the routing path N update to DJ Steve's 2.2 which is awesome. Or you can wait a few weeks N wait for the official dell 2.2 but looking at posts it's meant to be alot slower. Routing etc is rather easy N if you get stuck then there are plenty of peeps here who can advise.
Have fun.

As the title says...
I've tricked my Generic UK phone into thinking it was nordic and got SEUS to upgrade me to Nordic Combined 2.1... I've rooted it using Superoneclick..
I've had a look around the forum, but to be honest there's so much out there it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.. I've tried various search strings but to no avail...
So.. has anyone sussed out how to switch from one 2.1 ROM to another yet, cos as soon as the UK Generic comes out i'd like to switch back to it to get my warranty back in place!!!....
Thanks.

Yes you can. I'll update my guide on how-to do so very soon.
Wow... That's the quickest response I've ever had to any question, anywhere.. including when I asked my wife if she wanted me to buy her a new handbag she'd been drooling over!!
Thanks!
Will I be able to install brazillian 2.1 Generic version too when it comes out?

You should, hopefully the method to debrand/rebrand by switching the version's code will work with 2.1 and it will be really easy. Just wait a couple of days after it has been made available in Brazil and I'm sure someone will post a tutorial here.
I'm interested as well. I'd like to switch back to UK generic unbranded. Keep us posted please!

i think it would be best to grab the X10 flasher from these forums, and then wait until the firmware is released. give it hours/days, and the firmware will probs be available somewhere, and you can then place the firmware in the firmware folder of the X10 flasher.
Alternatively you can change your default.props, but I haven't properly looked into this method as I used the flasher to go global generic, and to be fair, don't really care much for flashing across to UK generic, I dont see the point.
Hi,
i need help plz to update my x10i to 2.1...
i don't know any thing about rooting and i don't know how it even works, or what it does
i saw many links here about this issue but i wanna a step by step tutorial
so here is my phone data if it helps
model number : x10i
frimware version : 1.6

sadly SEUS tells me any time i connect to it ..that i have latest update !!!
From what you have said it seems the 2.1 isnt out on your network, I'm going to assume your phone is branded. By that i mean, locked to your provider with a customised firmware. If you cannot wait i suggest rooting and debranding, i believe you can visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793 . thats the one i used as i am also rather noobish, however its easy to follow and will flash 2.1 on your phone.
Hope this helps
@puremods -
from your arc unlock screen -
press the following keys
Menu back back menu
back menu menu back
go into the service info menu..
go into model info..
tell us what it says in there...
^ guy above me, i have the same problem im not very tech savvy but i did the secret menu thing and it said
country: Singapore
Carrier: Singtel
anyway, Im on T-Mobile USA, and i heard there is update out (2.1) in Singapore, but my phone says its up to date its still on 020 firmware.
is there a way to update to 2.1 without rooting, i heard of the flash tool but the guy didn't give very clear instructions.
so if someone can link me to that thread and also give me VERY detailed instructions it would be greatly appreciated.
i worked in a college cafeteria for a year just to save up enough money for my x10 and im not going to risk bricking it by doing something wrong
Mine says
Model x10i
Country: Global Generic
Brand: Generic
Which method would be best for me to upgrade? Using SEUS doesnt work, when i boot it in flash mode and press enter on the program, nothing downloads.
Sorry for posting in your thread, i just dont want to open another one.
@vengeance1990
Thanx for helping ...i hope if this link will help ...but still don't know which file i have to download
cause my experience in phone softwares and programming is little
@ im_iceman : this sequence is not working
i did it many times and still nothing
@ im_iceman:
sorry it works
model info is
Model:x10i
Country: Mena Arabic (b)
Brand customized
and if u want the software info tell me too
Ok.. unless you want to wait for your official f/w to be released you'll need to root (suggest downloading the oneclick root app - This is the simplest as it does exactly what it says on the tin!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7913568&postcount=338
install the apk file on your phone and run it...
Then follow the instructions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163
Job done.

Sounds like your phone is branded to singtel.. so like puremoods you'll either need to wait, or follow the instructions I gave to him...

well first off what im about to say is dangerous if you dont know what your doing and can brick your phone! now that were past that lets see what we can do. since you have an x10i your in luck. a dev named bin4ry released a flash tool that will flash to global generic x10i with 2.1. go look for it in the android development thread (his icon is a penguin :B) download the flashtool and follow the guide posted in his thread. If you have windows xp 32 bit you should be in good shape, vista and 7 are known to have problems. if u need any help or have anymore questions feel free to post here

not out yet... according to this... http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2010/11/
or if you want to switch to global or uk generic (or any other for that matter)... this might be easier for the non-tech..

Check your SI against the list on the SE site. If you do not know your SI, turn off phone and look under battery.
The list has been updated every day so far this week.
Seems that the 1238 8955 is not out yet.
Well im a noob so..i think the best thing for me is not to try to flash my phone ... plus the thing that im using win 7 32bit.
I really appreciate your replys guys...
i just checked the SE site..and it seems that the update for my phone is not out yet.
i think i'll just wait a bit more for the update in orded not to brick my phone
Thanks again for your quick replys and help.
Cheers!!
