I tried to root my Streak with Android 2.2 using previous patches. The result was a locked phone that didn't want to start anymore. So eventually I completely restored it and it's working again.
Has anyone managed to successfully root Android 2.2 on the Streak? If so, please let me know.
Z4root from the market is working fine. Try that.

Thanks, works great.
Had to download it manually though as I couldn't find it on the market.

The dev had to put it back up a few days ago too, apparently google doesn't like his app.

z4root version 1.3.0 doesn't seem to work for my streak... are there any other options?
(universal androot doesn't work either)
I tried z4root and universal androot and both of those did not with for me on 2.2. Looking for another option as well.

Any option for those of us with a Mac or any other option to do it right from the phone?
I wasn't able to get SuperOneClick, z4Root or Universal Androot working after upgrading to the official 12821 build which came down in the 318 package posted on the Dell website. So I borrowed DJ Steve's boot.img, flashed it (with fastboot), applied Universal Androot a couple of times as usual and now it's rooted. Steve's boot.img is in the zip file at
android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/325889/streakdroid-1-5-1-release-post/
(sorry, it's my first post so they won't allow links yet...)
(I started off with a Dell Streak on 1.6 when I got a Dell Streak from O2 here in the UK as a replacement in August when I lost my Xperia. The upgrade to 2.1 messed it up so I've been following both Steve and Dell. It's been quite a ride, but I have to hand it to Steve, he's kept it interesting, been patient with the questions, kept my phone in better condition better than Dell and O2 and I've learned a lot in the process. Cheers, Steve. So, now I have the official Dell 2.2, rooted and about to put Clockwork-mod back on. I look forward to the next part of the journey. A donation to Steve is on it's way. Merry Christmas.)
usb debugging mode
I couldn't get any of the root programs to work, until I went to settings, applications, development and enabled usb debugging. Might be worth a try.

As a suggestion from another thread, I used version 1.5.4

Superoneclick has a mac option. Requires you to download mono. Long downliad but handy to have. Rooted mine on a macbook with no issues.

Do you have a guide for using it on the mac? I downloaded mono but wheno I ran sudo mono superoneclick.exe it errored out.

Does not work for me either on Baseband version GAUSB1A131921 - EU which is a locked o2 phone.
Any ideas anyone?
Did you try version 1.5.4 of superoneclick ? the newest version didn't work but 1.5.4 did
i looking to install StreakDroid 1.6.0 for the increase in performance but have a question i can't seem to find an answer to.
my question is that in the post here at XDA it's recommended to update the BASEBAND, do i really have to and if so how do i do that. i haven't been able to found how to. i didn't post in said thread cause all the post are praise, racommendations, and far more complicated questions then mine and didn't want to take focus away from those posts.
any help would be appreciated.
i'm running a U.S. AT&T locked streak it's been rooted
running O2 2.2
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.9-perf
Build Num. 12792
basband ver. GAUSB1A131921
Not sure if you have to with the version you have but I wouldn't at least suggest use qdl and the official update url to get the latest US release. Then update to 1.6.0. I know for a fact that from official 2.2 build 318 you don't have to update the baseband any further.

I've heard of qdl but have no ideahow to get it or even use it (I tried to find it but couldn't)

Google streakdroid and go to the main site. From there go to guides and you will find video guides on how to download and use QDLtool. As for changing the baseband I strongly suggest doing it so that your phone will be unlocked.

Changing baseband doesnt mean your phone is unlocked. To unlock the phone you need to input a code.
captaingohan, baseband in mentioned in the official streakdroid 1.6.0 thread. Read the thread, it will help with any problems.

Well I meant he should change it and install the unlocked firmware. But he was going to install DJ_Steve so whatever sorry for the confusion.
don't care about phone being lock or not just wanted to know if i really have to update baseband
read the thread. it has the info you need.
just installed streakdriod 1.6 from O2 2.2 without updating the baseband eveything seems to be working fine. and got my quadrant score from 833 to 1550 now phone runs much smother
I had some trouble doing it but I started by switching to 1.5.3 and then 1.6.1 clockworks mod has to work. Phone is much faster now was 844 on quadrant now 2178 just from the swith from 2.2 to 1.6.1
wow i only got 1550 how did you get 2178
lol didn't see theres a 1.6.1. updateing noe

Sweet it is nice. No issues so far
started getting "Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly ( and then force closing )" some posts suggested doing a factory reset. i did that and now my phone gets stuck on the streakdroid splash screen. tried re-installing 1.6.1 and it stays stuck on the splash screen. i've tried to go back to o2 2.2 and when i try to update either it says to get the update.pkg (witch i have on my card) or it'll just stay blank
and ofcourse as soon as i post this it starts workin. i guess the 8th factory re-set is the charm
I only get those when I run quadrant and sometimes I have to clear data to get it to run. Also if I start pushing buttons when it first wakes it goes slow and I have to wait a few secs to let it catch up. But other than that its all good.
streakdroid 1.6.0 update problem
im having trouble with probably one of the simplest processes for the 1.6.0 update. im very new to modding and used qdl to update to froyo. When trying to update to streakdroid 1.6.0, im kinda lost on what steps to take to flash streakmod. There's a video from unlockr that instructs on loading custom roms. When it talks about flashing recovery it tells you to click on "install recovery.windows.bat". For streakmod there's only a recovery image file (not sure, but i think this means i need to cmd) if so, ive never done this process and would love for someone to post a "cmd for dummies" walkthough.
Im running the qdl official update (31800) version of froyo. Also, for someone who's new to the Modding scene, will i even notice a difference btw 2.2 and streakdroid 1.6? Is it worth the update?
Also. Do i need to update my baseband?
Look for the streakmod recovery forum in the streak development forum. It will have the download and install instructions for the streakmod recovery. Once that is installed then go to the streakdroid forum. Download and follow the install instructions. You do not have to flash your baseband. If you follow those two threads you should be able to get it all installed. Also check out the tutorials at streakdroid.com and streaksmart.com

In the repairtool tutorial it says to hold the volume up button ( button closest to the headphone jack). The volume up button on my Streak is the button beside it to the right. Is my phone backwards or something? Am I just not reading it properly?
Its the one closest to the headphone jack. Technically backwards until you flash 2.2. Then it'll be correct.

Thanks. I'm a real noob at this. Now that I have been able to complete clockwork recovery I think I'm ready to try to do this. Still reading to try and find out which method I have to use now.
I agree wit you
i posted this in another thread, there really isnt any thinking involved when deciding which method to use i believe. qdl is by far the easiest method, heres the info you will need
rptw said:
i found that THIS thread helped me with what i needed to install on my computer to be able to update
then i used the main tutorial HERE to get to a prerelease version of froyo
from there you can use the "next steps" guide in the above link to get you to either an official release of 2.2 or to dj_steves froyo 1.6.1 which u can find in the development thread
happy modding

None of the tutorials shows rogers 7921 to anything.i found one post showing that I can go to 309 recovery and then direct to 318 update rom.i have gotten as far as trying to install the update rom from my sd card but the screen just stays blank.i don't know how long I am suppose to leave it to install or what it should look like when it is installing.

Thanks, I gave it another try. I was having issues with the ADB driver to get the QDL to work. My other steps before got the right driver installed and the QDL worked this time. i'm on 2.2 Baseband 00-US Build 10688. Might try Stevies later but right now I just want to check this out.
you should go beyond the qdl version of froyo because that is pre-release version from what i understand. if you want stock froyo, go to http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg and download and install that. thats the rom that unlocked streaks have gotten from dell

Thanks again. I updated to the official rom for now. I had to to get my Slingplayer app back. I'll have to research that if I'm going to go to Steves version.
Have looked everywhere and cant find it ...also is it for US phones ?
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_322_12947_11.pkg
322 is intended for Hong Kong streaks, but they're sold unlocked and unbranded so it should work fine. You'll need the approporate recovery.img for this (which I dont have)
(If you do decide to install 322, could you give me a copy of the pkg.dec file it creates during the install process? I'd be REALLY grateful)
Anything cool comes along with this rom?

Stock (309) recovery works on 322, tried it already moved back to 340, got problems/error with wifi when I used the performance fix. Pretty good build, same features with 318 plus chinese language/keyboard support.

there will be a few people trying to jump to 341 from my thread.... they will need to put on 322 for it to work. Maybe you ask in there, someone will upload.
thanks for updating the wiki.. you are the Man/Woman!
As the subject says,
Few months back i went to the only dell service in My city (Ludhiana) which now is now closed. to get my venue recovered, she left the package 2.2.2 in my device. I have uploaded it on below link.

thanks a lot dude...many ppl will find it very useful to use this to flash their roms back to stock froyo if they brick their fone...very helpful
Could someone remirror that somewhere you dont have to register to download?
I cant put a copy up (or even determine what pkg it is exactly) if I cant download it in the first place.

That's just the 406 pkg, which is a GB rom. Are you sure that it's a 2.2.x pkg?
I've checked it's hash and it's identical, it's pretty much impossible for it to be a coincidence that it's identical.
