I've a streak with rom 3883, just delivered this week.
I've never flashed a rom but have spent a few hours reading before my first atempt.
Every howto I've come across is for build 4399 no mention of 3883.
There's seems to be a fair number of people who have tried to upgrade 3883 that have hit problems, I assume as they've tried to upgrade using the roms intended for the 4399 build.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide that will show me how to upgrade the 3883 build to 4399 ?
Thanks in advance.

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.

Has anyone been able to restore the stock US 1.6 including the return to baseband 31? I've found out how to return to the stock ROM but not the stock baseband, which we might need for the OTA Froyo update. Thanks!
UPDATE: I see that this problem is now solved and found the solution! Thanks!
Can you share the link for the solution you found? I'm sure it'll come up again when Dell gets around to pushing their own USA official 2.2 release, but I'd rather have it handy just in case.
I know official 2.2 is about to be released next month from AT&T but i was reading on other forums that AT&T put an OTA update pushing 2.1 out a while back. I know they also canceled the update since Dell was working on 2.2 release. I can't seem to find any 2.1 AT&T update packages, all links seem to be broken everything. I don't want to go to 2.2 yet because it seems like it does have issues, but I wouldn't mind installing 2.1 on my while streak for now. Does anyone have that update package for AT&T that I could download and use for now? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
AT&T never had a 2.1 Update. To have that on a US Streak, you would have to download build 4399 for overseas version, then update to build 8105(2.1) again, for overseas version. You can look for guide to updating and downgrading either in General or Development section of Dell Streak forums.
Good afternoon all,
a bit of help please, searching these forums for my answer has simply confused me ...
I have a locked Streak;
2.1-update1,
baseband GAUSB1A120321-EU,
kernel 2.6.29-perf,
build number 6941
I have SIM unlocked the phone using dellstreakunlock.exe successfully.
When I try to upgrade via settings>about phone>system updates I get directed to a dead link - update.zinstaging.com
!) CAN I upgrade this firmware to a standard Dell Froyo 2.2 ROM ?
2) If so can someone please post the link I would need to put into my streak's browser?
Much appreciated ...

there are links all over the place to the offiicial o2 froyo build.
try http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_319_12792_21.pkg
that is the official build.
Thank you for the link ... however, on advice I attempted a manual upgrade from the Streak by entering the OTA link into my browser ...
I now have a bricked Streak.
I have attempted recovery techniques from Modaco, but the Streak only shows the Dell Logo and after a few seconds a blank black screen with just the buttons lit.
Can I upgrade to another 21 pkg from this situation? Would it be better to downgrade to an earlier 21 pkg from the Wiki page?
My question is ... do I need to download the recovery software or the pkg? Upgrade or downgrade?
Sorted ... flashed 1.6 recovery image using flashboot which got me going again, and once working the auto update process started leaving me with a fully operational streak running 2.2.2
