Ive been trying to get the o2 1.6 on my at&t 1.6 to get the leaked 2.1 on it. So far I've had no luck. I followed all instructions, got past fastboot mode, selected to upgrade via sdcard in recovery mode and after that it rebooted and acted like nothing happened. Still on att 1.6. I'm a newbie to android and came from a jailbroken iphone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Follow the steps in the link bellow and you should be ok
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
That's the guide I followed. In the, "To go from AT&T 1.6 (build 6601) we need to go to O2 1.6 (build 4399)" part, I get to step 12 and it reboots but not to the O2 1.6 (build 4399). I've tried two times already and still remains on AT&T 1.6 (build 6601).
I skipped the O2 1.6 completely. I just flashed the stock recovery, via Fastboot, put the O2 2.1 image on my SD card root directory, booted into to recovery (vol up/down while powering on) and it worked.
I tried the way you did and it wouldn't work.
I had a similar issue. I resolved it by using the recovery ROM located at: http://android.modaco.com/content/d...2-1-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/ (under tools) and then going straight to 2.1, 8105.
Good luck!
okay...i'll try that out. thanks for the tips.

Hey Charles, can you give me a step by step on how to do that? I'm still a noob at this android stuff. Thanks in advance.

I had 2.1 installed and working with root and then got a little jumpy and put the latest 2.1 (build 8023) release on it. That worked. I wanted to root the phone, but the androot app did not work even trying it twice. So I grabbed superboot and it installed, but now the phone won't proceed past the dell logo. I can get into fastboot mode fine, and can work cyanogen recovery great. With a stock recovery, it shows a black screen on option 2 trying to install the Update.pkg.
Any suggestions? The phone is essentially "soft bricked" at the moment.
Help!
Thanks,
Rick
Try this worked for me

If the above doesn't work there is another post floating around on Google which has different commands to run for flashing the stock recovery. From what I remember instead of just flashing the Rom, you can erase the other partitions prior to installing the recovery. Send me a pm and ill send you the files which finally unbricked my phone.

Holy crap!! This worked. I don't know what the difference was, but hooray!! Thanks for your help.
I know there are guides out there to go to earlier versions of Streakdroid,but I can't tell if I can go straight there from my stock build.
Android Version 2.2.1
BUILD NUMBER 14896
ROGERS NETWORK
A modified idiots guide would be great,or something like it,to those of us just coming online...or some kind soul who remembers what it is like could hold my hand to get me pointed in the right direction?>There is a boatload of info that seems like it is constantly changing.
Thanks
Yes you can go stalraight to 1.9.0, just Put the 1.9.0 update.zip and install.txt in the root of your sd card, flash streakmod recovery, reboot into recovery, install 1.9.0, and you are done, just follow the guide, you won't get lost.

Yep. I did it on mine.
In addition to what eowyn0821 mentioned, I fastboot-ed the baseband and 720p fix as well. Just in case. Remember to wipe using the default factory reset not the recovery.

The reason you are having error is because you renamed the zips to pkg which they are not, they are zip that is why when it was opened you get the error. Go to the wiki page section of xda for dell streak you can find all the roms, recovery, basebands almost anything you need about streak.

So step 1 for me should be to root my phone correct?
( hello I guess I might need to do a backup first?)
and then I'm clear to use streakmod recovery to reload the zip file.
do I also need to upgrade my baseband first, or is this an optional step?

Yes it is an optional step, it depends on you on what baseband you want to use, but if you are planning to go 1.9.0 i suggest you stick with 345 as i know it was based on 341 and 345 builds.

Just my two cents' worth. Tried to upgrade from streakdroid 1.8 to 1.9 without factory reset. Worked fine. Tried again with a factory reset. Went into an endless loop - boot screen to unlock screen to boot screen..... and so on.
Flashed stock recovery, did a factory reset from stock recovery, flashed streakmod recovery, installed 1.5, then 1.8, then without a factory reset installed 1.9 - all worked fine.
Okay,so far I have installed superoneclick and it looks like all is well and I have installed clockwork recovery and all seems as it should be.
How do I get the install.txt and the update.zip package onto the root of the sd card?Is this the same as just dumping into the sd card from windows? Or do I have to do this in the phone?
Do i need to rename the zip to update.pkg?

If you are coming from any 2.2 you do not need to install superuser as all streakdroid such as 1.9.0 are all rooted, yes you just have to copy the 1.9.0 update.zip and install.txt from your comouter and paste them on your sdcard. You do not have to rename it to pkg as clockwork and streakmod only install update.zip and stock/dell recovery install update.pkg. All streakdroid roms are update.zip and should remain as such.

The recovery usually has some options to mount the sdcard. I have used it on streakmod recovery. You might wanna use that to get the right files on the sdcard to install the new rom.
This gallery will show you the menu options that allow you to mount the SD Card from streakmod recovery.
Thanks for your input,after a few false starts I am up and running-so what's the standard donation for a new improved ROM these days?
Right off the bat,i am very impressed by the display res.Even at what I assume is the stock 160dpi the screen looks amazing.Coming from the samsung galaxy,this was one of the larger dissapointments with my dell..up until now.
In the end it waz streakmod recovery v0.3.2.6 beta that worked the charm for me.Multi recovery and clockwork was no good but I was likely the bug .

Problem with Google
Hello all,
After update to 1.9.0 i have one very annoying problem - i simply cannot sync with Google.
Account is enabled, but inside settings->accounts&sync->my account list is empty.
Simply no options to sync.
After factory data reset (via privacy settings), all options appear (calendar, contacts, etc) but still cannot sync.
"Sync is not possible now, try again later".
Update options were "bios, stageui, noswype".
What can be wrong?
Ok, problem disappear just today.
I did nothing.
Next issue - keyboard settings are not available.
Language - English, United States.
When i try to push Android keyboard button in language & kb menu, i have error "process com.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly.
What can be wrong?
mucho problemos w titanium backup
So my installation of 1.9 Streakdroid over stock 2.2 ran quite well except for some minor issues.One that was bugging me was the time stamp coming in wrong on texts which is a big pain.(I am now working around it by making time settings manual and setting myself to +-0 gmt)
So I thought I had better do the factory reset and clear the Davik cache and see what happens.I backed up using Titanium and proceeded as planned.
Factory reset and everything is okay but every time I go to restore my apps and system data the phone completely craps out.It seemed okay for a while but progressively got worse until I was forced to repeat the procedure many times.At this point every time I go to restore everything with TB the phone totally craps out FC'ing everything imaginable.
System reset restores to a working state but as soon as I restore ADW or TB it seems to crap everything out.
Anybody know how I can retrieve settings from a single app (my tracks) out of a titanium backup?Is there an extraction tool that would bypass everything else?
hello all. i was running the stock at&t 2.2 build 15697 version 331 and hated how slow the phone was running. i was trying to downgrade back to the at&t 1.6 so that i can flash over to streakdroid 1.9.0. there were no instructions on the net on how to downgrade from 2.2 build 15697 to 1.6 and so i tried following the direction from the Guide to Upgrading and Downgrading the Streak thread. doing that bricked my phone and now im stuck on the dell logo boot up screen. tried flashing the recovery for build 15697 using fastboot and still no go. can someone please help me out. been searching for about 4 hours now and no help anywhere on the net. thanks in advanced everyone.
You don't need to downgrade to 1.6 in order to get 1.9.0. Where did you read that was required?
Just flash streakmod recovery, put the streakdroid zip on the sd card, same with install.txt, and follow the rest of posted directions.

i was following the directions on the upgrade/downgrade guide thread. i was under the impression that i needed to flash to O2 os.
thanks for the info...ill let you know if it works.
If you are not sure how to do the flashing of the recovery there is a tool that can be used on your computer. Look for it in the streak dev sub forum.
It is call multirecovery tool. It has all the recoveries you would need. You would have to put the rom you want on the sd card and install it with the recovery.

ok whew! using streakmod recovery saved the day. thanks a lot for the info! you're a life saver!
I had streakdroid 1.9.1 installed on my rogers streak, I had quite a few issues with it and wanted to revert back to stock rom.
once I unrooted and factory reset I flashed the stock rogers rom via fast boot with the right recovery image.
one done I get the dell logo on screen and it stays there FOREVER.. like its been on the logo screen for over an hour.
What am I doing wrong and how long should it take to install and what not.
I might not have all the right info in here Im a newbie sorry in advance
Envious1
so I loaded the streak in fastboot mode
then on pc went to cmd and made sure I had the right recovery img in the folder and the right pkg file on the sdcard
put in the command and installed the recovery img
then the streak reloaded and I went to update.pkg and it did that
android system recovery utility - GAUSB1A13500
Press the shutter button to start emergency software recovery
ect...
now its stuck on dell logo.. how long should it take after an hour I rebooted and it went directly to white page that said emergency sofware recovery start.
what should I do.
you could flash 1.9.1 again, that will save your phone.
You could keep trying to flash a stock rom and eventually it will work.

how do I do that. via fast boot because I cant even boot into the dell only fastboot

Basically do what you did when you installed streakdroid 1.9.1 into your streak.
Then retry the stock recovery and rom again is, what i think eSZee is trying to say, correct me if i am wrong.
so I got 1.9.1 installed back on but now when I boot up and select dell stages I get a whole bunch of errors and closes it.
do I need to update the baseband is that my issue? if so how do I do that.
SD 1.9.1 breaks the Stage UI. DJSteve doesn't like stage and has no interest in it. Posts in the 1.9.1 thread have said that if you remove Stage from the Streak with 1.9.1 and then use the aps to re-install it it will work. YMMV and I don't use Stage or 1.9.1 so this is untested by me.

Hi.
Please help.
I need to reset my phone to factory defaults. (as im sending it back to orange for a replacement).
I have rooted my phone, but havn't unlocked the bootloader. (rooted using peet's tools)
Its running stock orange UK 45.31.0.MB860.Orange.en.GB. (have never applied a rom to the phone).
I installed the CWM manager(months ago, as i was looking at the roms) from the play store, which installed the clockwork mod Recovery on my phone.
(however this i know wont work as i havnt unlocked the bootloder !)
Now when i try and perform a factory reset, (on button and vol down button).
I get the option for Android recovery.(as well as a shed load of other options).
When i select this with the vol up button, it errors with the following.
Failed to boot 2
Then when i press the vol up button the following is displayed.
Starting RSD Protocol Support.
I dont want to unlock the bootloader, i just need to ability to run android recovery and return the phone to its original state.
(So Orange accept the phone under the orange care agreement).
Please can you advise...

I found the correct sbf file for my stock Orange uk GB 2.3.4 phone.
and managed to flash it, all be it with a couple of heart stopping moments.
(whilst the phone restarted into different modes, windows started searching for drivers !!!. even though i had installed them already..
This caused it to fail early on !.. after the main download.
However a restart later, and another issue. the phone has now been flashed back to the correct stock image..
Note to self, ensure windows is never set to auto install windows updates....
flippn thing caused the usb drivers to reload for the atrix phone.
still. one happy atrix customer..

No problems.
I performed a google search for orange.sbf and came up with the following.
http://www.das8nt.com/sbffiles.html
This has a load of sbf files..
Specifically, the one i needed was.
1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31-release-keys-signed-Orange-GB.sbf
This worked a dream, putting the phone back.
(ive now got this replaced by orange).
Good luck....
and remember, before you do it, ensure windows is set to not auto update windows updates !!!!....
