After an OTA upgrade to 2.2, managed to root my Dell Streak which I got for $1.08 2 days ago @ Best Buy Mobile. Superuser does show up. However, when I attempt the custom recovery it doesn't go past the "wait for USB fastboot detect..." Even when I plug in the cable after 10 seconds.
Any help is appreciated!

Any Thoughts on this Yet???
Do you have the right drivers on your computer? You have to have the right drivers on your computer before it can get your streak to fastboot mode. Read the right forums on how to upgrade/downgrade your it is all there.

thanks for the reply. yes, I updated all drivers from dell site. I searched for this problem on the forums. mobile sync works.

I think you have to install the drivers manually. There is a PDF file floating around with detailed instructions thanks to Radddogg. Grab it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776883 and give it a good read.
It was totally automatic procedure with Windows 7 for me but there are problems with Windows XP I think.
Haven't slowed down enough to test this out, yet. But, i really appreciate at least the flicker in the darkness to resolving this! Will report back soon.

got a streak as a gift a month ago - tried to update from stock 1.6 to 2.2 using guide on streaksmart.com - didnt work. now streak is bricked. no lights, nothing. looked all over online for days now and the furthest ive got is to try to access the quallcomm chip from the laptop but i cant, and i cant run the driver on it either, as told in the bricked streak pdf by ryrules. called dell and they cant help w/o acct name that purchased device - which i cant get (but thats a whole other story). cant even get a charge from what i can tell, qdl tool cant detect usb streak. im able to admit im out of my depth on this one - can anyone out there help?
If it helps, the dell streak service tag should be on the back of the phone when you remove the battery cover.
I phoned Dell today and they are picking up my streak for repair, no charge. And im not the first owner of the device either. Got mine from ebay. All they did was get me to boot into recovery, and try a factory reset. when it didnt complete, they just said they will fix it, for free thankfully.
I tried that - they won't transfer the device to my name w/o verification of original purchaser account name - and won't be able to issue a new free replacement w/o it. Not only do I not have that info, I might not ever be able to get it. thank you for the idea though.

i went here and dl'ed the pdf and files, but i cant get past maunally installing the fastboot driver on pc, it wont let me update the android driver - because its not recognizing the device as connected. i can get my laptop to recognize the quallcom chip, but thats as far as ive gotten. phone is off, seemingly totally dead, no lights or anything. when i get to the chip, it wont let me install or update driver - every time i try it fails. any ideas? I tried your email in the pdf.

Texas, but I think I could maybe fix it if someone had the right step by step instruction I could follow. Is there another program besides the qdl that can help?

That happened on my 1st attempt using QDL. Just unplug Streak, remove battery for @ least 1 minute, place battery & cover back on, hold the button closest to the headphone port while @ same time plugging cable back into Streak, then run again. 2nd time did everything for me. My computer did flash something about drivers installed successfully after the 1st fail, so maybe it installed what was missing. If this doesn't work, use a different USB port.

yes, i did but when i try to update the android adb interface under device manager on my laptop by directing the driver update screen manually to C:\dell\drivers\R288920\Win7 i get an error msg that says
windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it
the device cannot start (code 10)
seems to be a pattern im stuck in, i cant make it past here yet.
Nm - fixed it w help from irc #dellstreak - had to end up using 2 different qdl tools, but in the end - after a week long struggle w a bricked streak it finally came back on, with 2.2
Please help!!!!

Dont know if you still have this problem, but I transferred registration/ownership to myself on the dell site. It just asks for your details and service tag. Which coincidentally is shown under About Phone, status at the bottom.

I ended up getting it all fixed up with a lot of help on irc. Meralias got me through the last parts, correct drivers and qdl. Then I had beta froyo, which I updated to official. Yesterday I finally got brave enough to try flashing one of dj steve s. glad I did.

I used the QDLtool to unstick my Streak so I am now on a pre release of 2.2. I am trying to upgrade to Steve's 1.5.3 but cannot even get the blasted streakmod recovery to flash as it keeps saying "waiting for device" on the cmd window but my Streak is in Fastboot_Mode. If I was able to fix my phone via QDL a few days ago then the drivers are all installed correct, right? I am running a 64 bit of Windows 7.
This is starting to overwhelm me...
I have played with W7 and drivers before. Other people have used W7, but it can be fiddly. If its possible, do yourself a favour and use XP.
Sounds like you still have drivers to install. I know I had to run an installation .exe file before the proper drivers were installed (XP).

Unfortunately, the only other pc in our house runs Vista. The computer I had before this one had XP but it had bad capacitors and fried the mobo.
I can't understand why I would need more drivers if I was able to use the QDLtool a few days ago with no problems on this same laptop. Who knows... they have minds of their own it seems.
Hopefully I can get it figured out bc its driving me insane!

I see you asked this on the Dell forum too... with no responses, just like here.
Something is obviously wrong with the Dell Streak 5 as the other 6 phones is a (see my sig) I had no issue using them as a modem for my laptops via PdaNet. I need to know if I can use it as a modem for the Streak, are there any limitations with 1.6... and where to get the dang driver since the one from PdaNet won't work.
It seems to be impossible on the at&t model.
I have so far tried pdanet (usb driver error), barnacle legacy (can upload but not download), android-wifi-tether (apparently incompatible with 1.6), android wired tether (1.6), and one more that I dont recall the name of, which simply crashed.

A linux distrobution, it's an entire operating system, but you can get an installer that runs off a USB stick, probably too much of a circus if you're going to do it regularily.

Finally got the driver loaded and PdaNet working.
A bit tricky, but if you follow the instructions I posted, it will work.
That post is here:
Getting PdaNet to work with Streak 5
PDANET
I would suggest you remove any drivers you have installed from Windows 7.
I was having the same problem and then heard about PDANET.
I couldn't even use fastboot because everytime I connected my Streak, Windows would try to install different drivers.
I read in another forum, pocketables I think, that installing PDANET would solve this.
So I uninstalled all traces of drivers and the Dell Sync also, installed PDANET and voila, no more problems.
So if PDANET isn't working for ya, you have a driver issue or there's something wrong with your Streak

If you would have read my previous post, you would have saw I got it working.
As for uninstalling the drivers and dell sync and using PdaNet drivers... that didn't work for me. Drivers would NOT install. So see my solution in this link:
Getting PdaNet to work on your Streak
Maybe the way you did it worked, but the variables may have been different as I'm running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit which could effect the kind of drivers etc.
So I've searched and tried and have been completely unsuccessful. I cannot for the life of me get my windows 7 32 bit or my 4 bit systems to recognize my vibrant in download mode. Neither Heimdall or Odin see it. I'm running the Trigger version of CM7. I've tried every driver out there (I think) and nothing seems to work.
Suggestions, help, a point in the right direction are all welcome.

I am having trouble getting my windows 8.1 pc to recognize my Droid DNA. I installed android SDK, installed HTC Sync then removed it it so I would still have the drivers. I have tried universal drivers and another tool I found on the thread but to no avail anybody who knows how to get the device recognized on windows 8.1 and knows how to root the phone could answer. Help would be appreciated. I have went through the process on other htc phones but this one is a little complicated.

I have been trying to do that for 3 months with no luck. Ther are 2 or 3 threads here that talk about 8.1 not seeing your phone. I don't think there is a fix until HTC releases updated windows drivers. I use Linux to fastboot my DNA. Sorry I did not have better news
