[Q] Back to Dell stock 2.2 - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am starting this new thread because I can't find anything that helps in all the other threads.
Right now I am on Streakdroid 1.8.1 and I want to change to the stock Froyo 2.2. This because my own language (Dutch) is in it.
But I have tried all the threads, bibles and other explanations, and I always end in a black screen after trying to install the update.pkg. It seems like either I've got the wrong stock recovery version or a wrong update.pkg (it's the official 318).
Can you guys help me out?

I did the same (1.8.0 to 318) using official recovery from 309 and official 318 pkg.
You have to install official recovery with fastboot.
Good luck.

I did this via QDL then updated to latest.
Instructions for both steps are here:

Steve's 1.8.1 to Official 02 2.2?

Can someone please help me with how to downgrade from Steve's 1.8.1 to the official O2 android 2.2?
I want to sell my Streak since I find the size tough to use and wont be able to do that here in HK until i change it back to the official ROM.
Someone help please!
Anyone, please?
You can try running the QDL tool again...
There is a thread here in xda that guide you how to from any 2.2 froyo to 1.6 and with that is how you go to 02 2.2 all you need to do is search the general or development section, the reason no one is answering you is because almost everything you need is here, almost all the guide is here, all you need to do is search. You can go to the dell wiki section all you need to know about the streak is there., all the roms, recovery, links etc are there. And don't forget, Google is your friend.

Need help with streakdroid 2

I need help because I have downloaded streakdroid 2.0 and I try installing it from rom manager but then when I do that my streak just restarts and just goes back to normal froyo? Can anyone help me.
If you did a little research you would find out two things...
ROM Manager does not work with the Streak. You have to flash a custom recovery from fastboot....
I'll let you play with that idea and do some searching. Look through the threads that are called Clockwork Mod, StreakMod and Multi-Recovery Flasher and take your pic of which you wanna use
And uninstall ROM manager from your phone
files needed to update to 2.0

Please understand that what I'll be doing is giving you advice to keep you from frustrating yourself...
If you are a noob, then StreakDroid 2.0 is NOT for you, it's still under development for the most part and has several issues that make the ROM slightly unstable for everyday use. IF you want StreakDroid, then SEARCH this DELL STREAK forum for the guides needed which have links to the files you will need and use StreakDroid 1.9, without the perfmod so it will be stable for you until you get the hang of things.
Good luck cause you have A LOT of reading to do. IF you don't read, you'll just be pulling your hair out and kicking yourself for having goofed your phone.

[Q] Help flashing radio ROM with Edify Scripting?

My HTC Desire was on Gingerbread 2.3 and I then decided to root the phone with ClockWorkMod. I can flash any ROM fine but when I try to flash a radio it says 'Installation Aborted' and then tells me to use Edify Scripting?
Can someone please tell me what do from here??
If there's any information you need, please post it and i'll reply ASAP.
Thanks in advance!!!
I have exactly the same problem. I had to unroot for warranty and within repair they updated the official 2.3 for Desire. I had to re-root and because of the new bootloader I had to find new way to do that. Now my recovery say "Revolutionary CWM v.4.0.1.4." and when I try to falsh radio, it gives me the same info as mentioned above.
Any solution?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Some questions before acting.

Hello. I joined today to the happy(?) owners of Archos 101 G9 turbo group. After purchase I instantly searched XDA for the device, and found this section. My device is running newest 4.0.7 update. Some questions came to my mind after reading tutorials here. I listed them here, and hope someone can help me by answering them.
1. There is a nice tutorial for rooting and installing sde. Are they still working with this 4.0.7 update?
2. How does the downgrading work? Is it just by using older root image?
3. In multiboot menu section i noticed that someone had it working with 4.0.7, but newest version was 4.0.6. Is there a link i missed?
It was the zimage version 4.0.6.
4. There is a rom which has more 3g modems working. Does it work with multiboot, or will it overwrite the "main" rom?
No. I only added required files to custom rom.
And lastly,
5. There is a way to make ubuntu working. Multiboot menu didn't support flashing kernel, so does it require kernel change before using?
Yes. I had to use kernel which supported ubuntu.
I apologise if these are stupid questions, but I rather ask than brick. I hope you understand
Edit: answered some of my questions.

1. Yes, it works fine, download the rooted 4.0.7 firmware and flash it after enabling SDE.
2. Why would you want to downgrade?
