Hiya,
So I bought a Dell Streak off Craigslist that happened to support T-Mobile AWS 3G. I didn't do enough research to realize that the Android 2.2 update was only out for unlocked and AT&T Streaks, and since the AWS Streak isn't supported by Dell, there's little to no chance of an official 2.2 upgrade.
This morning I decided to try flashing DjSteve's ROM, and after trying several Clockwork recoveries, I found an older version, 1.8.1, I believe, that wouldn't just sit at a blackscreen. It wouldn't flash either Steve's 1.5.1, 1.6.1 or 1.7 ROMs, so I decided to use FASTBOOT to flash over the baseband Steve recommends for 1.5.1 and higher of his ROM.
The ROMs still would not flash, and when the Streak boots back into the Stock 1.6, I have no cellular connection whatsoever, get strange warnings about my battery and charger not being supported (even though it wasn't plugged in) and in Settings > About, the baseband shows up as unknown.
I thought about trying to flash an AT&T baseband, and then flash the ROM, but I don't think this would give me my 3G back. I did not make any nandroid backups and I can't seem to locate the original AWS stock baseband to flash back to.
I also tried flashing StreakModRecovery using FASTBOOT, but neither 0.3.2 or 0.3.2.6beta work, they just sit at a black screen similar to what ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 does.
I just want to get 2.2 on my Streak and have my cellular and 3G working again.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks much.
there are a few recent posts on aws streaks and their stock 2.2. I just read a few yesterday...

Can you tell us your current build number/baseband number before you update?
so far the recent aws streaks reporting in have builds not currently released to the public and are worth backing up before updating.

I was only able to find information about rooting the AWS Streak 2.2. It's possible I missed it, and if so, could you please point me in the right direction? I have been looking for a few hours, both on here and Google.
My Streak is:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.29-perf
OEM version: GAUSB1A111933
Build number 9158
After attempting to flash the baseband, 4.AMSS for v1.5.1+, from the downloads section on streakdroid.com, I lost my cellular connectivity, Baseband shows up as unknown, my button LEDs flash randomly and the device tells me my battery or charger is broken even though it's not plugged in.
Also, I am not able to update. I can't get either a recent version of ClockworkMod or StreakMod to flash correctly - they just show a blackscreen after selecting Update package from SD Card from the Dell recovery (vol up + vol down & power), option 2. I was only able to get an older version of ClockworkMod to work, and that still would not flash DjSteve's ROM. I got an error code, Status 7.
!! 119 is yet another new version
could you please provide a nandroid of it? it's yet another version that's completely unique to the AWS streaks
The baseband you flashed only works with froyo builds, since you're currently on a 1.6 build it shouldnt work. You need to update your streak to an official 2.2 build to get back connectivity and as a prereq to flashing streakdroid

I suppose that makes sense that a 2.2 baseband doesn't work with 1.6.
I would be happy to provide a nandroid of it, if I can get some type of recovery installed again. I always end up with the black screen after doing option 2 from Dell recovery with both Clockwork and StreakMod.
Have you tried multiple versions and not just the most recent one? I think other AWS users have had trouble with the most recent ones. (Also keep in mind your streak is rather old compared to theirs, I really dont know the tiny differences that make some streaks not work with some recoveries/firmwares)

I've tried 0.3.2 and 0.3.2.6beta and neither work. I'm looking for older versions as we speak, but I'm not sure there any.
The only recovery I can get to load is ClockworkMod REcovery v1.8.1.7
It opens with the following errors:
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't find MISC:
ClockworkMod Recovery v1.8.1.7
E:Can't find MISC:
Attempting to perform a nandroid backup with this recovery fails, and says the following:
SD Card space free: 14737MB
Backing up boot...
Error while dumping boot image!
E:Can't find MISC:
I don't really know what else to do, other than to try and poke around and figure out how to go from 1.6 to 2.2 on my goofy version of the Streak.
Do you have any ideas?
If you cant nandroid, trying adb pulling the entire system folder.
Weither or not you can you might need to use qdl tool to update, I think the bootloaders on your streak might be too old to like the recoveries you tried (but I dont have any hard knowledge) I'm not really an expert on updating

Anyone tried this rom?
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/LatestBuild/LatestBuild_31.html
I just tried flashing it and half way through it said something like FOTA model name mismatch... i wonder if its 2.2 because so far dell is planning to update streaks straight to 2.2
Side note, since i put my streak on the leaked UK 2.1 my baseband has changed to 21-US (should be 31-US) and after returning to the stock 1.6 6601 US rom, baseband is still at 21-US so it think thats why it isn't working for me.
How to flash:
Download it on your PC
Place on the rood of your storage card
Rename to Update.pkg
Reboot device into recovery mode (hold both volume buttons while powering on device)
Select the second option.
I have just been reading about this on the net and he said the same is it or is it not
when I try and go to that site on my Streak it just gives me a error.
I was able to down load it on my comp.
how did you try and load it on your streak?

Copy it over to the root of your storage card and rename it to "Update.pkg" (without quotes ofcourse)
Then boot device into recovery mode (Hold both volume buttons while turning on)
When in recovery mode, select the second option.
Curren't i'm getting "FOTA model name mismatch. device will reboot in 30 seconds" half way through flash.
well I got it to download.
During the update mine stoped about half way through and said:
system up to date, will reboot in 30 sec.
andbody else try yet?
are all of you guys on 2.1? that might be the reason for the FOTA mismatch. this might be intended for US 31 models and after doing the 2.1 eclair update the streak identifies itself as the 21 (O2) model. probably will have to flash stock us recovery, and stock system and boot before this one would update.
Just read the post for the stock images, op does state that baseband does not return to 31 even after flash, so that won't work either..
I am still on the US 1.6 rom

could you check if your camera stillworks fine. I had the same info as you did, but my camera is black and white now.
edit:
never mind, solved it, needed a restart.
Not Likely New Version
Guys,
If you search on the file name, you will see it has been around / available for a few months.
It looks like the 31 is for the US baseband, and the 21 is for the UK baseband.
Probably it is just an older version of 1.6, so even if you were able to download / install, you would be going backwards....
Good luck
Michael
its just a link to the latest 'official' release of the US rom...in my case 1.6 build 4917...which I already have...this is not 2.1 or 2.2
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I was successful at getting it to 2.1 from 2.2.
However, i had issues getting it to the O2 1.6 rom, i ended up using clockwork and the .zip rom of 1.6 and it flashed successfully. However, upon boot i was stuck at the dell screen.
After this i tried all recovery images to get back to 2.1 or a workiing 1.6 install with no avail.
Now im stuck with out being able to do anything but flash recovery images, but cant install a update file because it isnt recognizing my SD card after removing it for some reason.... i tried multiple cards with no luck either.
Oh and to be clear, I am currently on the Build 4399 (rooted, intended for O2 devices) rom with the corresponding clockwork recovery installed. Can not access my SD card now tho.
This just happened to me! Toto modaco and download stock recovery Tom and flash it with fastboot and then you will be able to do why you want

I however am stuck back at 2.1 and cant flash 1.6 with out the same thing happening. I have SD card access once again tho.

This recovery image is to used to get you from O2 2.1 build 8105 to O2 1.6 build 4399. It worked for me after several days trying various guides and suggestions on other threads and sites.
I used this recovery image to Flash ROM Streak_104_4399_21.pkg which can be found on other threads.

That modded recovery bricked my streak I'm tryin to get back to 1.6 everytime i run this recovery after downgrading to 2.1 from steves 2.2, I have tried several recoveries and nothing seems to work so stuck on 2.1 atm.
(oh btw I used QDL streakfash to unbrick I dunno if that helps anything.)
It may not be relevant, but I had huge instability with my ROMs for a while, random hard resets, force closes, ROMs not taking properly etc, failed flashes even with 1.6 etc.
Turned out I had one of the bad batches of Streaks with a bad internal MicroSD card. I sent it back to Dell, they replaced the card, and all was well again. Perfect stability etc.
You can confirm this on the diagnostics menu.

Soooooooo I caved hearing that 2.2 would be out for the Streak and went and picked one up on AT&T. Thinking hacking it and putting a 2.2 ROM on there would be cake....after all I'm in IT. LOL yeah right. Anywho got no where with trying to get to 2.1 yet alone get to 2.2. So thought someone had to have a way to get ahold of an official Froyo for the Streak. So by using someone else's baseband version I was able to Dl the .pkg from Dell here: httpCOLON//mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A111100[/url]
Sooooooo wondering would it work if I DLed that then put it in the root of the SD card and renamed it to Update.pkg, booted the phone in fastboot mode then updated it via the Update.pkg? That can't work, right? That just seems to easy. Dieing over here to get ahold of an official 2.2 build so I can get my exchange to work natively for work. AT&T has now blocked my iPhone from getting on the network so I can't revert waiting for the formal OTA to come out.
I'm a newb when it comes to android (just got my streak 3 hours ago) and I tried what you have stated and was greeted to "FOTA Version Mismatch... Shutting down device in 30 seconds"
Did you flash the clockwork recovery ?
Search for a link to the QDL repair tool, once you get the driver loaded, it's a simple one click solution to getting 2.2
After that, just use any of the links here to download the 318 version, and then you'll have the updated 2.2, or after getting the base 2.2 (308?), just download DJ Steve's updated version.

Yeah ive flashed clockwork recovery and that is successful. Once I go into fastboot mode and do the update.pkg part it errors on the install.
just follow the steps in the thread "updating and downgrading your streak" i followed the steps to get the UK stock 2.1 rom.. then i daringly tried the OTA update and it worked like a charm. im now running the UK stock 2.2 rom thats rooted.
As I've said before:
I had this problem also....The only thing that fixed it for me was using the QDL Tool. It took my dead Streak with flashing light with God-only-knows what baseband and ROM sequence I had tried to a fully functioning, unlocked Streak with AT&T official 2.2 on an unlocked 00 baseband. From there, it was an incredibly simple flash to DJ Steve's 1.5.1 using fastboot. Then I was done. No clockwork, no recovery, no nandroid, no nothing. Just follow the instructions for QDL Tool. I'm serious.

are you also saying that it unlocked your phone? oO?
It flashes a pre-release of v2.2 with a generic baseband, not locked to a particular carrier. The Sim Lock is still in place, however, so the phone itself will still require an unlock code if it did before.

I had Streakdroid 1.80.
Follow the directions above but only the last OC 1.6 to At&t 1.6
Make sure you have OEM recovery flashed. Streakmod etc wont work.
Put the 3 files on your current system. And the new rom on the SD.
Flash the boot.ing as instructed and then restart your current rom. After it finishes turn on development in the applications settings. Then reboot into recovery. Then install from update.apk this will install the new AT&T rom. If if fails flash boot.img again and repeat.
FYI: the new 340 does not look any different then the 318 or 170 for that matter.
DJ's roms are better and faster. But if OEM is your desire do this.
I'm on 2.2 318 and am trying to go back to stock 1.6 but after extracting all the system files to the sd, completing the steps for that and flashing the new boot.img- I can't get my Streak to boot fully into Android to apply the 1.6 update.... If I try to boot it sticks at the Dell logo, no animation, just the logo with all 3 soft keys lit. If I go into Recovery and try to apply the update, I get a signature verification failure error. I also tried a factory reset from Recovery but cannot get passed the logo.
I have done this a trillion times before without any issues. Why won't it cooperate now? I have one of the temperamental Streaks that only likes Official Stock ROMs. I get FCs and freezes out the whazoo on anything but so thats why I am going to Stock AT&T 1.6 and update to their 2.2...

Try using the repair tool that will put a 2.2 rom on it.
You don't have to go to stock 1.6. Just follow the instructions on your current system and it will let the new AT&T 2.2 install. I always to a factory reset before installing a new rom. That stops FCs for me.

Hi -
Could you be more specific on "OEM recovery"?
I have downgraded from 318 all the way back to US OEM 1.6 with BB of 31 which matches OEM version. Build number 6601. btw: I had to do a Nandroid flash to get it to 1.6.
It downloads the 340 update fine but gets hung up on the install process - stuck on logo.
Seems like I need to flash the right recovery but I always get a blank screen when I boot into recovery and choose update from SD card.
Can you link me to the right recovery file?
Thanks.

I do have a 2.2 rom installed already. I used the QDL tool to get it there so I shouldn't have to do it again... I tried updating to AT&T's new 2.2 yesterday from the 2.2 (318) I am currently on but it won't let me. I thought I had to go back down to 1.6 and get my update via notification but now my Streak wont get off the logo.
I hope this is making sense because from what you said, I don't think it does. Its hard to type what my problem is in a way that all can understand.
I am on Rogers and had the same problem. Was on 2.2 through QDL tool. I got an email from Rogers that their official 2.2 update was now available.
Downloaded the update, it wouldn't install.
Probably because baseband is different?
Anyway, did the same thing, tried downgrade back to O2's 1.6, then hopefully AT&T's 1.6, but got stuck after getting down to 2.1. Black screen during update.pkg, Dell logo only when just doing a normal boot.
Tried loading 1.6, 2.1 Rom's again to no avail.
Managed to get the phone working again using the QDL tool to get back to 2.2.
Tried doing the Rogers update again, but not working.
Help!

I can't get mine to boot normal unless I use the QDL tool to pull it out of the logo screen. If we already have a US Basdeband we shouldn't have to upgrade to O2 and back down again, right?
What do the people, like myself, do who are on the 2.2 318 via QDL Tool build to get the AT&T 2.2 rom released yesterday?? I am already on a US AT&T rom so what sense does it make to have to upgrade to an O2 rom and go back to AT&T (I am thinking out loud...).
I don't want Steve's ROM or anything else... my phone does not play well with those. I want the new official 2.2 released to AT&T locked Streaks.

I finally bought root Explorer from the market. If there is a free alternative that can change your /system file to r/w (read/write) I could not find one.
You [email protected]!!!!!!!!! (no other alternative, dont think you are smarter than anybodye else, is non-negotiable) to move the 3 files over into your /system file, because the update will not go through. It says there is a "device mismatch" (or something like that). I tried to short circuit all the processes at every step and was unable to beat the system.
Heres what ya gotta do:
1. Follow the part about downgrading to 1.6, then check for software update.
If you have upgraded to ANY other version of 2.2 ya gotta move the 3 files over.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...92&postcount=4
Finally I gotta say that it is not worth all the fuss really. You lose tethering and installing outside apps. You gain nothing.
This release is best for djSteve, because he can take all the good parts of this build and put into his next release of streakdroid.

I found streakflash I tried to get a link, I'll keep looking.
I launched steakflash.
I pulled the battery put battery and back on. As I plugged in the cable I held the UP volume button. Streakflash recognised it and I ran it through.
That got me back up. I forget what ROM it was. I then ran repair tool.
That puts 2.2 pre release.
If I can do it anyone can.

Whats the malfunction with this? I have always managed to update in the past. Why won't this one go through?
First off I did quick scan of this post so if I am repeating I apologize in advance. You MUST go back to AT&T 1.6 with no Streakmod or Clockwork need Dell recovery program. 340 does a scan as it loads and if finds you modified the Steak in anyway stops the install. I had to purchase Root Explorer to complete my conversion, only thing I can say is Root Explorer is worth the money, as for 340, if you are running Steve's ROM with no problems stay with it. Here is the link to the instructions I used, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8558692&postcount=4, good luck.
Same Problem

Hi -
Could you be more specific on "OEM recovery"?
I have downgraded from 318 all the way back to US OEM 1.6 with BB of 31 which matches OEM version. Build number 6601. btw: I had to do a Nandroid flash to get it to 1.6.
It downloads the 340 update fine but gets hung up on the install process - stuck on logo.
Seems like I need to flash the right recovery but I always get a blank screen when I boot into recovery and choose update from SD card.
Can you link me to the right recovery file?
Thanks.

I have the same problem with BigBopper too. Anyone have any idea to fix it?

If you install the three files and flash the boot.img file to a 2.2 rom and have the new 340 apk as update.apk on the sd it will install. I have done it twice. Once from 1.7.0.and once from the pre release 2.2.
BUT it is not worth the trouble. 318 is a better stock rom.

I could not be more serious right now when I tell you mine would not work that way... I had to go from 318 2.2> O2 2.1> O2 1.6 and am FINALLY booting into AT&T 1.6 as I type. A lot of people have Streaks that aren't able to do as yours did, mine is one of them. I don't know if its because my Streak is an older one, I bought it in August, or what the deal is but I was not joking!
All is well though. I have finally gotten it back to Stock AT&T 1.6 with my original baseband of 31. Now I shall see if I can go to the new AT&T Froyo...

Good luck.

I have been searching all night and can not find what i am looking for.
Can some one explain why the dell streak 5 I have is at version #347 15274 but i see that latest retail version as # 351 15609.
My question is what are the differences between the two? I also see a new build from hong kong version #354 15881.
I already have a rooted phone but i have never upgraded the version before. Is it even worth it?
I guess i am just confused.
Actually there is a lot of info at the XDA Streak Wiki.
It appears that 347 is one of the ROMs that TheManii does not have files for. You should contact him about sharing your ROM with him, so it can be posted to the Wiki.
AFAIK 351 is just bug fixes. I am running 351 and have found it to be very stable.

Thanks for your quick reply, Would you recommend the upgrade? Also which method would you recommend for doing this.

I have never used 347 so I can not make any comparison. I do know that 351 runs very well for me. The reports that I see for 351 are better bluetooth and wifi connectivity.
I would try downloading the 351 .pkg file directly to your phone. When the DL is complete open your notification bar and tap on the completed download and it should install. Using this method preserves your apps and settings. You should be connected to WiFi.
Please note that on some phones (probably depends on what apps you are using) you may see issues and have to do a factory reset after the upgrade which will mean setting up your phone again, so back everything up.
You must have the stock recovery for 347 on your phone for this to work. If you still have install-recovery.sh on your phone (never renamed or deleted it) your phone will still have the stock recovery on it. See this info about the recovery image.
If the upgrade does not install rename the file to upgrade.zip and make sure it is in the root of your SD card and install it from recovery.
Read this flashing guide.
Please contact TheManii before upgrading to see if you can get the 347 files to him.
I already have a nandroid of 347, what i dont have is a pkg which i would not expect him to have.
