first of all i am sorry if this has been answered before. Ive searched the forums but cant seem to find my answer.
her is my problem. I upgraded from ATT 1.6 baseband 31 to o2 2.1 leaked version 6941. I then tried to go to DJ steves 2.2 and it froze at the dell logo. so i tried to reflash the o2 2.1 6941 now when i try to reboot using the volume up and down and power button. all i get is a black screen.
Is there anyway i can just go back to stock ATT 1.6? i have tried flashing the 1.6 recovery img and install the apk but it still just goes to the black screen.
any help would be much appreciated
nvm i got it working victory through perseverance.
Does the QDL tool work the same on a white Streak?
Thanks!

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.

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.

Fantastic! Many thanks for your patience.

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!
This is my first post I think I got the right section
Anyway I just got my streak a few days a go and decided to put a custom rom
I flash clockworkrom with fastboot and tried to install streakdroid 1.61. My streak does not get passed the dell logo.
Streak was rogers build 7921
I still have access to clockworkmod and fastboot
I've tried putting o2 1.6 and at&t 1.6 nada
I don't know what to do anymore

I got the Streakdroid into but im not sure how it got stuck at that though
Help?!
Hello,
I was wondering if someone can help me with an issue i'm having.
I am trying to restore my ORIGINAL dell streak 1.6 to build(6601), so I can do the update for the official 2.2 release.
I did the O2 update that was on the support forum by accident and has put my dell streak into a reboot fit. I've tried many things to get my streak working but no cigar. I got it working with the QDL tool but still has some issues with randomly freezing or rebooting on me.
When I try to downgrade it from 2.2 to 2.1 and then 1.6 O2 and then back 1.6 (6601), I try to follow the steps but when I run the update.pkg from sd it reboots during the update.
Please help!
e.g.
I believe i'm also on a baseband 00 right now..

See my post about the 2.2update a few below this one.

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!
