i wanna install dj steves new rom but right now i have o2 build 2.2 gausb1a131921-us, kernal 2.6.32.9-perf, and build number 12972. Can i just flash dj steves rom directly over top of this or are there more things i need to add. Any help is appreciated.
You'll first need to flash a custom recovery. Either StreakMod or ClockWorkMod, after which you can flash Steve's 1.6.1
Where can I download fastboot from for some reason cmd wont respond to fastboot commands anymore wanna make sure I got a good version

Look for the "Everything you need to know about the Dell Streak" thread here. Think it might be in the Streak Android Development section. Has a PDF with all the proper steps and links to the necessary files.
i feel dumb but fastboot wouldnt work because the file on my desktop was fastboot--windows, i then renamed it to fastboot and all is working. got dj steves 1.6.1 downloading ight now.

Now i'm using Dell Streak from at&t baseband and I using 2.1 from O2 already
but when I try to upgrade to Stephen Hyde's 2.2, it stuck on dell icon more than 15mins everytime i tried. i don't know why ? so i go back to use 2.1
I did install the amss upgrade, so is it because of the baseband or anything else?
Help me please, so confusing with that????
Thanks

flash 1.1, then flash 1.2 without a factory reset in between. this worked for me after being stuck where you are.
This is not Android Development .
Please post a problem about Steve's ROM in his thread and not spam the forum with it .
Hello, now that I have this new Streak, I would like to put a new ROM on it. Is there a location that lists the various ROMs that are available, with a description of each?
Can anyone recommend a goof Froyo build for the Streak?
Thanks!
the only chef we have for streak is dj_steve and the rom is called streakdroid, currently on ver 1.6.1 and the post regarding it is in t he android dev forum

Thanks, I have been looking at that, but didn't know it was the only option. Now I am trying to figure out how to get clockwork on it...

Thanks, I finally got it to work using Streakmod. There is a hex command that you have to add to the fastboot command that didn't show up on the tutorial I was looking at.
if you use clockwork, the guide is exactly the way you should do it, not sure about streakmod though
Honestly, I would use the QDL tool to get 309 on there, then update to the dell non carrier version of 318 and flash smokku and fard's kernel mod that will over clock your processor and give you quadrant scores of 2000
Head to StreakDroid.com and just follow the guide.
QDL tool to the "official" 2.2, and then use the StreakMod version of Clockwork and flash to DJ_Steve's 1.6.1
My Quadrant scores are now over 2500. Lovin' it.

I appreciate that you took the time to offer advice, but I have no idea what you said...
Does that mean there are more than one Streak ROM out there? I like th clean interface on DJ Steve's 1.61, but it seems buggy and I get a lot of force closes and other weird issues.
U gotta flash version 1.5.1 then factory reset using stock recovery then flash back to 1.6.1
After that it shouldnt be buggy anymore. The reason u go down to 1.5.1 is bc the later versions don't support factory reset.
hey guys i wanna ask a quick question i have dell streak 5 i just flashed clock work recovery mod now i was gona flash dj steve 1.9.1 final frontier but the i just saw 354 stock rom so now i dont know if i should stick to dj steve or go stock 354 i am updateing from 347 stock rooted my issue is volume boost for headsets and wifi reception
You can have 354 baseband and 1.9.1. 354 doesnt fix quiet speaker volume, I know that.
so you think i should stay on 347 or go 354 then dj steve?
so you think i should stay on 347 or go 354 then dj steve?
do i have to flash through fastboot again the recovery that came with 354 update package from this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fileell_Streak.png#Official
?? so 354 is better than 347???
The rom that you need depends on what ur preferences are.
The best answer would be got only if u install the rom and test it out for a few days.
My impression is - 354 is slightly better than 347 . In what , i dont know.
If u want to flash 354 , the best thing would be to flash 354 recovery first.
However if u do not want the factory reset to occur when u flash and want to preserve the current settings , use the CWM recovery and flash update.zip file.
Hey Guys,
I'm very glad XDA exists to help us take charge and modify our gadgets!
Here is my Dilemma and I hope there is a solution.
Specs: Rogers 2.2.1
2.6.32.9 - perf
14896
I managed to root the phone and I have Superuser working. Phone is unlocked via an eBay code. I own the ROM Manager Premium app.
I read the forums, I read the famous PDF however Im unsure and worried. I just installed MRF even tho I have fastboot installed as well, the .img file and the Pkg file renamed as Update on my SD card.
Please advise me what is the next logical step? Ideally I wish to use ROM Manager and install streakdroid 1.90 given the reviews.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Alex
Please help anyone

The info you need is already out there. You need to search/research more.
Some starters:
ROM Manager does not work well with the Streak judging from other posts on the subject. No personal experience here, just based on what I have read.
Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
Dell Streak – The Complete Guide – thread at XDA that includes a somewhat dated (was written when the Streak was running Android 1.6) PDF with Streak hacking basics. Read the thread for follow-up!
and try the links in my signature.
Thanks for the feedback Marvin I will look into it more carefully! I think its just me at this point waiting to make the next step. I remember reading some of your links before, I willread the very carefully!
Can I just load a Rom from my sd card without recovery first? That is the question.

You have to have a recovery on the phone that matches the ROM if you are installing from recovery. If the rom you want to install is in the upgrade path for your phone you can DL it to your phone over wifi, tap on the DL notice and it will install that way. Stock roms (.pkg files) need a stock recovery, install custom roms (.zip) with StreakMod Recovery
You can use fastboot to flash pieces of the OS (baseband, etc) but the best way if you want a particular baseband is to install the entire stock rom with that baseband and then install whatever custom rom on top of that.
As always, make backups and you are responsible for what happens to your phone.
Thank you very much for your help! I'm confident I will be successful now!

Why not follow the instructions DJ Steve provides in the thread? Doing so is far less hassle than the path you want to use.

I could follow his steps but I wanna know that can i flash ginger streak 2.4.4 directly from 2.2.2..? thanks..
If you follow DJ Steve's instructions to the letter, you'll successfully have StreakDroid on your Streak regardless of what ROM you come from. Why did you think you had to flash the Olleh ROM first?

Oh thank you dude;-) but in that table why he mentioned android version 2.3.3 buddy..? Thanks buddy..
The first release of gingerbread for the streak was gingerstreak 2.3. Then DJSteve came out with gingerstreak 2.4 and several bug fix releases later we ended up with gingerstreak 2.4.4. All of these are based off of Android 2.3.3. Make sense now?

YOU MUST FLASH THE BELOW BASEBAND AND DSP1 IMAGES TO ALLOW THIS BUILD TO WORK CORRECTLY!!
Quick How to for flashing the above files - assuming you already have fastboot setup and configures on your pc.
1. reboot your streak and hold the camera button down until you get a white screen, then hit the fastboot option in the top left corner.
2. connect to pc and wait for streak to show FASTBOOT_MODE
3. run the following commands to flash the baseband and dsp1 then reboot
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
I fail to do this step so please guide me guys..
I reached fast boot mode in streak but dont know how to run those two comments from fastboot mode.. so help guys..
There are download links for the stock version of Gingerbread in the opening post of this thread. Also detailed flashing instructions. I also recommend that GB ROM.
