Yes. Just follow http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92

Worked just fine for mine just make sure that when your done go throughand calibrate your screen! I couldnt unlock my phone or answer calls until I did this... I spent two days trying to figure out the issue. So I figured I would let you all know
It is simple to so: Just power off your streak, when you turn it back on hold both the volume up and down buttons until the screen pops up, select calibrate and the phone will do the rest...

Worked a treat on my white Streak. I upgraded to 2.2 with the QDL tool, then to Steve's froyo. Now I'm running 318 stock.
If you want to upgrade to 318 from QDL tool, download the froyo recovery and the pkg from here http://www.4shared.com/dir/2CA8GTwx/Dell_Streak.html
That's the only way I could get it to flash 318.
I'm still confused as to how I go from 308 to the 318 on a white Streak. On my black one I could just d/l the 318 pkg from Dell - I don't think that'll work on a white one. How can I use the QDL tool to get to 318?
Many thanks!

To be 100% honest, I dont know "How" it works, but QDL Tool just did it I really didnt care to much, being that it worked and now my phone can get the no-att update which is cool because it has tethering and no bloatware. And all I can say is that it worked on my white Streak with no problems other than the screen calibration.. I even upgraded to Steves 1.5.3 and decided I didn't need all the superuser stuff and found the correct link to get the OE Dell upgrade and it worked without a problem doing the OTA upgrade.
I am also running the Dell 318 software; however, I was able to upgrade using the OTA link.. I too used QDL Tool and upgreaded to Steves ROM, when I tried to use the OTA upgrade link on his ROM it would download, but not run.
So I reverted back to the pre-release version of 2.2 that QDL Tool has, and updated from there without a single problem.
NOTE: I wasnt able to use the link that was pre-programmed into the ROM, I used the following link: http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A110100 (It will work to upgrade any 00 baseband streak)
Just and FYI for future users or if you want to try a different ROM in the future

Okay... So you were able to d/l the Dell 318 update .pkg right to the phone after doing qdl? Maybe I misunderstood people, but I thought that white streaks had to use qdl to load 318 instead of pulling it off the Dell website.
Jamie
I was yes, with the link I provided above was able to do an OTA upgrade to the release dell 318 package without complications. Just make sure you do it directly after using QDL Tool, while still running the pre-release version of 2.2, because it did not work for me when I was running Steves 1.5.3 ROM.

No problem at all! This was my first android mod, I was a die hard win-mo guy and decided to make the switch. So this process was confusing for me, being that I made it work I would try to help answer any questions others had.. So let us know if you get it to work properly!

Everything worked beautifully. I now have a black Streak and a white Streak running the Dell stock 2.2!
Its funny - I also was a long term WinMo guy, going back to my Cingular 8125 running WinMo 5.0. I looked at WinMo 7, didn't like what I saw or where it was going, so I decided it was time to make a move.

Yeah, I started with a sprint Mogul and it was down hill from there unlike you, I took a stab at windows phone 7. I sold my black streak here and bought the HTC Surround. The software was great and simple to use, however the hardware was very problematic. Hopefully after a few updates I may go back and try again As of now the White Streak is the device for me. I have to say there is nothing quite like it... Well glad it worked out. We shall see you around XDA!

Soooooooo I caved hearing that 2.2 would be out for the Streak and went and picked one up on AT&T. Thinking hacking it and putting a 2.2 ROM on there would be cake....after all I'm in IT. LOL yeah right. Anywho got no where with trying to get to 2.1 yet alone get to 2.2. So thought someone had to have a way to get ahold of an official Froyo for the Streak. So by using someone else's baseband version I was able to Dl the .pkg from Dell here: httpCOLON//mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A111100[/url]
Sooooooo wondering would it work if I DLed that then put it in the root of the SD card and renamed it to Update.pkg, booted the phone in fastboot mode then updated it via the Update.pkg? That can't work, right? That just seems to easy. Dieing over here to get ahold of an official 2.2 build so I can get my exchange to work natively for work. AT&T has now blocked my iPhone from getting on the network so I can't revert waiting for the formal OTA to come out.
I'm a newb when it comes to android (just got my streak 3 hours ago) and I tried what you have stated and was greeted to "FOTA Version Mismatch... Shutting down device in 30 seconds"
Did you flash the clockwork recovery ?
Search for a link to the QDL repair tool, once you get the driver loaded, it's a simple one click solution to getting 2.2
After that, just use any of the links here to download the 318 version, and then you'll have the updated 2.2, or after getting the base 2.2 (308?), just download DJ Steve's updated version.

Yeah ive flashed clockwork recovery and that is successful. Once I go into fastboot mode and do the update.pkg part it errors on the install.
just follow the steps in the thread "updating and downgrading your streak" i followed the steps to get the UK stock 2.1 rom.. then i daringly tried the OTA update and it worked like a charm. im now running the UK stock 2.2 rom thats rooted.
As I've said before:
I had this problem also....The only thing that fixed it for me was using the QDL Tool. It took my dead Streak with flashing light with God-only-knows what baseband and ROM sequence I had tried to a fully functioning, unlocked Streak with AT&T official 2.2 on an unlocked 00 baseband. From there, it was an incredibly simple flash to DJ Steve's 1.5.1 using fastboot. Then I was done. No clockwork, no recovery, no nandroid, no nothing. Just follow the instructions for QDL Tool. I'm serious.

are you also saying that it unlocked your phone? oO?
It flashes a pre-release of v2.2 with a generic baseband, not locked to a particular carrier. The Sim Lock is still in place, however, so the phone itself will still require an unlock code if it did before.
So, hi guys I think the last time I posted on these forums I was asking some obvious "read the damn wiki noob" questions on the XDA Exec - I didn't brick it in the end, hooray!
But now I have a streak and I'm having a few issues.
I bought a 31-baseband US AT&T over eBay and unlocked it so I can use my UK Orange sim in it. That worked perfectly but it was still on 1.6 and I highly doubt Orange would be issuing an OTA froyo update any time soon.
So I tried various .pkg steps first to change the build to 4399 with a 21 baseband. Ultimately, it didn't matter what .pkg I tried, any of the dedicated custom recovery images invariably lead to a black screen and I couldn't update. That's probably me being a spazz and not reading enough, I'm not sure...
...So instead, I used the Custom 1.6 ROM from Modaco (the one with the online kitchen thread?), and it worked - I was then on 4399 with a 21 baseband, untill my friend told me he'd easily put DJ Steve's 1.5.1 ROM on it with a view to update it to 1.6.1. I hadn't heard of the DJ Steve ROM yet so I said no and he did it anyway. And that's when the bad times happened - It was in a bootloop from there.
Since then I've tried many .zip updates and many .pkg updates. Currently I'm trying to go back to the Modaco custom 1.6 ROM but it's in the second stage boot and crashing (the DELL logo flickers, then remains constant - the home and the menu button continuously flash for a while etc)...
So it's kinda bricked, and nothing I'm doing helps. Even the boot restore thing that my "friend" has for his streak hasn't done much.
I know what you guys are like with the whole "do s'moe reading, kid" thing but I honestly dunno what to do anymore. It's been like this since Tuesday and I've exhausted everything. Thankfully I don't have much of a job at the moment so I've had lots of free time to do some more googling and searching these forums for similar issues (so if I've missed a vital thread, please let me know) as well as modaco.
_any_ help would be amazing, like I say, and full of <3.
Thanks in advance guys!

QDL tool. It will put you on the 305 pre release of Froyo. From there you can jump to 318 or any of steve's froyo's. I just flashed the 322 update and went to steve's 1.7.0 and my streak is running perfectly!
But I think I'm obligated to say it. A little reading and you could have found this on your own.
Follow the link. Hope it helps!
You're very right there indeed, and funnily enough i'd even found it on the StreakMod site eventually last night when i'd assumed it was well and truly bricked. That's excellent though. Thanks very much and once again I'd like to apologise for being so shortsighted sometimes when it comes to these things.
Solved, and written on my Streak. <3

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.

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.
Same Problem

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 have the same problem with BigBopper too. Anyone have any idea to fix it?

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...

Good to hear. Mine is white one. I bricked it twice and have brought it back. I know I am not smarter maybe just lucky.
Good luck.

Hey everyone - I just got a new Rogers Dell Streak. Like a good noob, I followed a guide on how to upgrade the rogers build 7921 and I'm now at Android 2.2, Build 10688. Everything seems to work OK so far, but the home, menu and back buttons flash every 1 minute exactly. Doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing, it's almost as if it's a notification of some kind. They do not flash while the screen is off (sleep).
I followed a few different guides and I think this may be the issue but I thought I'd ask first. the first thing I did was use QDL Repair Tool to upgrade to a dell release of 2.2 (I guess)... the last thing I did was follow the StreakDroid Rom installation instructions using StreakMod Recovery, amss.mbn, and then tried to install Streakdroid 1.6.1, but it wouldn't boot properly, so restored 2.2 using nandroid.
I've done some searches but couldn't really find an answer to the issue I'm having.
If anyone could give me the step required to correctly upgrade the Rogers version of Dell Streak I'd really appreciate it. Ideally I'd like to get to a stable version of 2.2 (DJ_Steve's preferably, but I would be OK to go to the new release from Dell if it would work right).
thanks everyone!
-Steve
Never mind everyone. I figured it out. I reverted back to a stock Rom and recovery and started all over. I'm now using cw recovery and Dj_steves 1.8.1 Rom.
Everything seems to be working great!
Cheers!

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
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=8
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!
