I found problem in StreakSmart forum.
"I have an ATT Streak which I unlocked with a code. I have been trying to update to Froyo and after my download when I start to install it brings up an error message which I cant read because it's blurry because at the same time it's going to re-boot mode, it goes to the Dell screen and sits...and sits... I have to pull the battery to get it running again but I'm still at 1.6.
I have called dell but they wont give me any help because I bought the phone 2nd hand and apparently the original owner registered it and I can't do anything until I give them his info or some crap. Can anyone help me out on this??
also, I thought about doing a factory reset to my phone and then try the update but was wondering if this will lock it, since I unlocked an ATT phone with a code?? "
I brought at&t lock dell streak. It is running android 1.6. I want to unlock it and update to 2.2. Please give me an advice. Will it happen when I update my streak? What is the best way for unlocking it? thanks!
You don't need to unlock it to get 2.2. AT&T has released the froyo update. Just hit menu and go to settings. Scroll down to about phone and select system updates. Make sure you are on wifi.
Dell Streak powered by Streakdroid 1.8.1
I thought you said you unlockedit with a code? So what's the problem when it gets locked again? Use the same code, it still is the same phone even if you upgraded to 2.2, besides unlocking the phone has nothingto do with upgrading the OS.

Hi everyone.
I have recently aquired a dell streak that has settled a debt.
The issue is is that the previous owner decided to enter in the unlock code 10 times and has not stopped any sim card functioning within it.
Its a UK dell streak that was originally sim locked to o2.
I am pressentely running the froyo v1 by DJ_Steve custom firmware with su.
I have got SU access using Universal Androot beta 5.
Now even if insert a o2 sim card or any other sim card for that matter i get : NETWORK LOCKED More than 10 attempts were made to enter the pin
I was woundering if anyone knew how to clear or reset the counter with the SU access.
I have also wiped the dalvik cache and done a factory reset using the clockwork recovery image.
In the past i have rooted and installed custom firmware on a unlocked g1 (this was unlocked using a code) and during the proccess the phone had forgotten that it had been unlocked and i had to enter the code in again.
Does anyone know if I can do the same thing with the dell streak/ and how to do the same thing?
try to use rebel simcard on that one
Hi
I got a Dell streak 5. Initially some one else logged with a different Google account in my Dell Streak and now that cannot signed out. Tried removing account but wasn't successful, its asking to reset the Phone to factory settings to remove the account info. I am afraid resetting the phone to factory settings will send streak to Locked state.. (Not sure of original status, I got it in unlocked state)...
Please advice..

Go ahead and reset the phone, as resetting the phone does not affect the unlocked status of the phone. I have an unlocked Streak and have flashed the phone three times now. Once to restore 347 after my roommate decided she didn't want the Streak but wanted my Aria, once going from 347 to 351, and once restoring 351 after I accidentally removed too much stuff after the upgrade from 347 to 351. The Streak remained unlocked all three times.
My Streak was O2-locked. I got it unlocked by getting the unlock code from O2. Since then, I've factory-resetted and flashed to every single StreakDroid ROM out there! Never had a problem. Go ahead and reset it. Absolutely nothing to worry about!
Guys, i bought a phone in ebay...
Dell Venue 2.2.2 android version.
kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
build 15696
baseband version GTOUB1A132131-US
i found in it, an icon called SUPERUSER, i have to say this is my first android, so i dont know anything about this OS phone, i had a Venue Pro in past...
As i have read, SuperUser means phone is already rooted, right?
I have locked it to ATT, when i go to System Updates, browser say no updates and ATT logo appears...
My question is, if it's already rooted, which i suppose, it have no apps, but there is no software to unlock it ans use any GSM chip? something like ultrasnow in the iphones...?
Im planing to use it in mexico, so i suppose baseband also will need to be "flashed" or whatever...
Please help!
Thanks
Locked and Rooted
If you have superuser, then the phone should be rooted already. As for carrier unlocking, there is not that I know of a way via software to unlock the phone. The best bet would be to insert a sim from another company and verify if it is still locked, then if it is have whoever sold you the phone call AT&T and get it unlocked for you. After sim unlocking, you can use a mexican sim without any trouble or requiring baseband changes.
yes, i inserted another SIM, it's locked, i contacted DELL via [email protected], they said this phone is retail, so they would not provide code, at store, they said Dell would provide, they are playing with the ball....
omg, how difficult is to setup an email account in android... pff took me 30 min, in all way because yahoo need PLUS to allow pop and forwarding, my venue pro didnt have that problem at config (and never got a plus at yahoo).. so i downloaded yahoo app from android marketplace and i had access to my email... i think i start to hate this venue, lol
email
I have 5 email accounts coming into my Venue, though none are Yahoo. It wasn't any more difficult to set up than MS Outlook was.
Rooting is made up of 2 parts:
The superuser app
the SU binary.
The app can be downloaded from the market on any device, rooted or not. It merely doesnt do anything on an unrooted device.
The SU binary is what does the work, that you need to either flash with custom recovery or use an exploit (such as gingerbreak) to install. Though pretty much all exploits are fixed in 321+
No unlock code from DELL or Carrier...
Ok, guys
After several frustrating calls, emails and so... neither Dell or Carrier from the phone were able to give me an unlock code... they only kick the ball from side, i contacted the Dell unlock Team, and they said:
Dear Customer,
Please contact the carrier for more assistance on this issue. We would not be able to release the unlock code as the device is in contract with the carrier.
Mobility Unlock Code Team
I paid to 1 guy in ebay to obtain the code, but, he refunded, he couldnt find a code for my device... obviously the phone was sold to me as it is... seller didnt specified it still was in contract, so... i want to ask if you know a good and serious source to try to get codes and unlock this device...
Any help will be very appreciated...
Hello guys,
after looking here a lot for improving my x10 (successfully, I love fxp ), I have my first problem, and it is a strange one.
I live in France, and a new carrier made very cool prices, so I decided to change carrier. But my previous carrier provider made its possible to not unsimlock my x10, so, when I went in holidays in Tunisia, I went to a shop where they are known to unlock phones, and they unsimlocked it, but they put an official 2.1 rom, but I couldn't go from cyanogen to stock 2.1... So I decided to install fxp.
I rooted the phone with flashtool, and tried to flash the phone, but it was stuck on se logo, so I used pc companion to install stock gingerbread, it installed. But when I power it on, it's not 2.3, it's still 2.1 ! I don't know what these tunisian did, but they ****ed up my phone T_T
when I start it with my sim, I can enter my pin code, and I only have the blue wallpaper of 2.1 and the top bar. I can't access to anything, the three buttons do not work (except when I put the usb cable, I can use the return button to quit the "charge or connect" menu and minimize the bar when it is fullscreen).
When I don't put the sim, I have the configuration menu, but when I press proceed, it says me to insert a sim card and reset, I can't do anything at this state.
Did anyone have the problem ?

If those Tunisians know something, they are probably here on xda-developers forum ..
You have a thread for sim unlocking, and I think that there is a way to check if your phone is unlocked properly via s1tool or is it possible to unlock it..Go HERE
Thanks, for the simlock soft.
But how can I make it to boot properly (ie having acces to menus, icons and all)
Well, I tried s1tool, and it says that it is still locked, but I don't understand, I was able before trying the update to call with the new carrier oO
PS : is there a way to root/flash without enabling debugging ?
I do not know if I can post this, but I managed to do here.

Well, HERE you can find everything you want for unlocking, downgrading, rooting..(a lot of links)..
Just take it easy and don't rush..It's a simple process, you just have to understand and follow everything they say..
Cheers
Well, I tried again to backup the stock rom with pc copanion, and it worked, and now it is unsimlocked xD
hello everyone,
been out of the scene for a while, and I just sold my dell streak, however, the new owner cannot use his new dell streak as its locked to AT&T. I obtained an unlock code from them by calling them, but the streak is on MIUI and the menu that ask for the unlock number does not come up, is there any other way to do this? do I have to flash an original android firmware to it? Thanks in advance.

you said it is sim unlocking... therefore (usually) it is phone related locking... not from at&t... there should be a menu for security > sim card lock
im just trying to unlock the phone to be used with TMobile, it is locked to AT&T not sure if it's phone or sim. AT&T gave me a code to unlock it but when I insert the sim the menu to unlock it doesn't pop up

open Settings > Security and search for something similar to sim card lock... you should get something from there...
if you get nothing.. most probably the phone is network locked... my phone is network unlocked where i can insert any sim... and it does have sim card lock in case there is someone else want to use the phone and use another sim card in it...
If you mean CARRIER unlocking and not the sim card itself, you have to install a stock rom. Sim unlocking isnt exactly something that can be easily tested on a custom rom, so that's your only reliable way of doing so.
If you mean the actual sim card itself, cant help ya
anyone care to share some rom links, all the ones ive tried dont work or a whole bunch of ads come up.
