Dell Streak to 2.2 froyo - Streak 5 Android Development

it thought ide post this to help others on a few steps that i posted on the other forum on using the great guide/site streakdroid,to take a dell streak,mine is white,from att and go to 2.2 froyo....but was'nt very clear "to me" in a few steps.....so i'm trying to make it easier to understand for some.....
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
this is the qdltool...called "repair tool" http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=8
....once you download it,and run it,it will create a folder with the qdltool and some files in it,you need to put the other files you download from the download page http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15 into the qdltool folder"do not unzip the rom .zip folders like 1.6.0"just put them in the qdltool folder as in my pic
this is how i did it.....i downloaded all the files,put them where they needed to go....installed streakdroid 1.6.0 using the qdltool......you need to put the 1.6.0 and recovery and amss image in the same folder as your qdltool is unzipped into.......i also put a copy 1.5.1,1.6.0 and 1.6.1 .zip files in the qdltool folder and also on my sd card, on my sd card to have them to boot into from ....clockwork recovery.... later ,if i wanted to.
you need to make sure you have the qualcomm diagnostic 9002 driver installed right and connected in the qdltool before you run it......watch this video http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=78
you might have to try this sevearal times.....dont worry if its stuck and wont boot.....
alot of people take their phone back when they think its "bricked" when its not....they just freak out,and take it back before trying more options and or being persistant.
you just have to try some different steps....ofcourse all the files,drivers i9nstalled and in right location.......you can use infranview app to take screenshots of how you have your folder setup to post here if you need someone to better help you.....like this

}
i put a copy of 1.5.1 and 1.6.1 .zip files in just to have a copy of them here,and on my sd card......but you only need the 1.6.0.zip file in to go to 2.2 froyo
mine is the white dell bought at bb a week and a half ago
also if you want to flash the clockwork recovery ,i had problems and stoney73 helped me out here

8.Open a command window and use ‘cd’ to change to the same directory as qdltool.
9.Run: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
10.Run: fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
11.Run: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
i can open a command window.....i tried pointing it to my folder,but im stumped
" posted by stoney73 .......
ok, have you got Fastboot on your pc? if so, just find it on your pc, and open up a window, then hold left-shift and right click within that window(without actually clicking on an actual file), and click on open command line(or similar) then just type in the instructions, which look to be correct.
if you dont have the android SDK installed:http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
download and install the one that is pertinent to your operating system. install it directly on C drive. then open it up, doubleclick tools, and without clicking on any files, hold in left shift and right-click, andchoose 'open command line here', then type in the commands you had in your post. Hope it helps."

this is all well and good. but what if (and this is my prblem) after the modem and drivers are install, the qdl doesnt recognize the phone even still? nobody has an answer for that.

---

Nice thread, had wondered if my post had helped. Glad to have been of some service.

---

was the phone already plugged into your computer before you opened qdl?

---

sometimes qdl has not reconized it.....i had to unplug,take out battery,and install....then either plug in,and startup holding volume up....but i have first after plugging in and booting into fastboot,when to device manger and made sure it was in 9002 driver,and not adb.....then after that i would start qdl......or after checked in device manager,i unplugged phone and battery out....then started qdl.....then started up with holding volume up,and plugged it in....usally this showed up in qdl as the 9002 driver.
i would try several different ways,and hit start in qdl
