okay, i don't know if this is the right place to post this, but i have ran out of options.. i have searched and searched and still no luck.
so i have a white streak and been tryng to upgrade it to 2.1 or 2.2. followed all different guides, loaded the stock revocery img for 1.6 o2, when i try to flas hthe o2 img to o2 1.6, the process goes to about 20-40% it restarts itself and nothing happens, still back to 1.6.
okay, so i guess let's try the clockwork method, 1st time i used the 1.8.1.7 clockwork, with SteakDroid 1.9.0, it also installs half way and get a error message 7, it restarts, nothing happen..
then i tried using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1, all i get is bllank screen, (for both different img file)
so i'm thinkin, maybe i need to root the phone 1st? so i flash it with superboot, tried 2 different version, one version got me stuck on dell logo, and the other version got me nothing but keep on restarting the dell logo. now my phone wont start at all.
i guess, okay, let me give the QDL tool a try, still doesnt work.. i get:
Run HEX success
ERROR[D14]: Streaming hello Failed!
ERROR: Download fail!
Please remove the battery and try again.
over and over again..
now my streak wont even startup, any one please help!?

I just got a white dell streak on ATT too and muddled through these forums trying to figure out how to get 2.2 on it (waited several days and no over the air update)
I am now running streakmod 1.9 and i think it is all good. I'll give you quick run down of what i did to get to official ATT 2.2
1. Download the official ATT update.pkg from the Dell Streak Wiki...
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_340_14844_31.pkg
2. Place the file on the root of your sd card. Since your phone is messed up, you can just take your sd card out and load it via computer.
3. put sd card back in your phone. now turn phone back on while holding down both volume up and down buttons and power button at same time. you should come to a screen with four options. pick option 2. The update package should run and when its done, your phone will be on the official 2.2
If you want instructions after that on how to get root and custom rom on your phone let me know. That is easy too, but it took alot of messing up on my part to find the right method. Some people think it is as clear as day, but i agree the info in these forums is a little fragmented.
Good luck!
thanks for the info, now is saying FOTA name mismatch, device will restart in 30 seconds, which recovery img did you use to flash this?
i used the dell recovery. i apologize, i believe i left out a step. you n
You need to go back to stock Dell recovery. Wiki page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
File link here: http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/340/recovery.img
do you know how to flash recovery from fastboot?
Once you flash that stock recovery, you need to follow the instructions. believe it should work after that.
is urs locked to ATT or unlocked? I have a white factory unlocked streak and I was able to upgrade to 2.2.2 with no problem...
im not sure if it being unlocked or not makes a difference but maybe it could.. when I get to my laptop, ill post wat I did and u can see if that works
but I can tell u I was on 305 rooted n I used QDL tool just to make sure everything was factory 305.. then downloaded the 345 AWS rom pkg from the dell wiki, renamed to Update.pkg n flashed using stock recovery n got no problems, then followed steps in the general sections to get root..
ill post the links n everything when I get home

Good point.
I didn't know they sold white unlocked streaks. Mine is ATT. If legend is using different than ATT, your probably a better help.
Everytime i get a new phone, i say i'm going to just stick with the stock software. somehow still, i always end up over at XDA complicating my life. Oh well... Thank you android...
QDL Tool
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=8
345 AWS
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_345_15380_00.pkg
1 Turn phone off. Open qdl tool and hold VOL UP while connecting phone via usb. If you have the right drivers, qdl should recognize it. Hit RUN to flash everything and get back to a stock 305 rom.
2 Rename the 345 pkg to UPDATE.PKG and copy to ur sd card. Hold VOL UP + DOWN while turning phone on to get to recovery. Choose option 2 to flash the update.pkg. Let it run and just wait until the phone boots completely up. You will be at a stock Android 2.2.2.
If you want to root, follow the steps here...

First of all, I am on a MAC and have an 00 baseband Streak and updated it to a 21 baseband and 2.1 Eclair following the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754418
Everything worked fine up until the end where after the final reboot it got stuck on the Dell logo. Ok, no problem I used the instructions in "How to unbrick your streak *worked for me*":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754448
As instructed I substituted the 2.1 Eclair pkg for the stock and it flashed perfectly, no issues and booted into 2.1. At this point everything pretty much worked fine.
... UNTIL I decided to try an root it to get rid of the O2 Splash Screen. Universal Androot did not work for me previously so I went with the NExus One Superboot method which worked in the past. That's where it all went to hell and the Dell boot logo came up and the unit just sat there.
I have tried re-doing it, from all the steps listed, but either get a black screen in the recovery phase (after choosing update for sdcard/update.zip) or the Dell logo on boot. I have also tried AdamG's 'rooted eclair build [6841]' img but it also just comes back with the Dell logo (listed below).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753699
... NOW, the only thing that seems to work is clockworkrecovery using AdamG's updated 2.5.0.1 Dell Streak (original or alt img) (listed below) and the 4399-update-streak-stock-rooted-signed.zip file renamed to update.zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754563
Every time I put an Update.pkg file on my sdcard and try to update using recovery it gives me a black screen in the recovery process. Renaming it to update.zip just gives me an error when I try to update in recovery mode. I just cannot seem to find a stock recovery ROM that will update using a .pkg file (either stock or 2.1) without giving me a black screen.
Any help/ideas/prayers would be greatly appreciated as I'd hate to think that I now have an $800 paper weight.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Why can't you just fastboot flash the stock recovery and boot images?
i can flash the stock recovery but cant find 1.6 stock .img files. Ive tried with my nandroid images from 1.6 and they dont work, just sits at dell screen. If i flash the stock 2.1 it loads but no radio so useless.

Has anybody with a UK/O2 Streak (21) been able to roll back from the stock 2.1 (installed successfully) update to stock 1.6?
I have searched xda and modaco for days and have tried everything but I always get stuck at the same spot.
I am able to flash stock recovery but when I use option 2 to apply update.pkg from my sd card, it gets stuck about 1/4 of the way and says "Software is up to date. System will reboot in 30 seconds." And then when it reboots, it's still at 2.1.
I have also tried using clockworkmod recovery (several versions), which only seems to work immediately after I flash it (sometimes clockwork menu won't show up and it reverts back to stock recovery - are they being flashed to different partitions or something?). Using clockwork, I tried to apply update.pkg and when that didn't work I tried update.zip. Both get stuck on black screen.
I have tried using ROM Manager too, but that never works. It says it will reboot into recovery but ends up just rebooting normally back into 2.1.
I tried stock and custom 1.6 ROMs with no success.
Is there a way to force the system to apply the update.pkg even if it thinks it is already up to date?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been pulling my hair out over this for days. Thanks in advance.
I am having the same exact issue as described above. "Software is up to date."
And then the device just reboots into 2.1 and starts the cycle of endless reboots.
Anyone got a solution for this?
Please help.
The guides in the stickeys do work I have gone from 21 back to 16 and back to 21 about 6 times
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah but all the methods in the stickies need the use of a PC. I am on a Mac. Is there a way to use fastboot on a mac? Or a way where I can just copy the update.pkg on my sd card and use that directly?
When I use the SD card method, 1.6 refuses to install saying that the "Software is up to date."
Thats what I need help with.
Try this page
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...1-6-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/
It lists mac commands to load the recovery image to your phone.
MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-mac.sh' followed by './install-recovery-mac.sh'
Yeah I tried those commands but I get a "No such file or directory" message in Terminal. I have read a lot of threads here and over at Modaco but can not make head or tail of the issue or what to do.
I have a O2 Streak that I had put 2.1 from O2's official release using the Recovery mode and putting update.pkg on SD card. After that I have been having a ton of issues with constant reboots and sometimes getting stuck on Dell logo.
I wanted to go back to stock 1.6 and have been unable to do so. What are my options right now and how can I fix this? I would prefer to keep 2.1 but don't mind going back to 1.6 if that will be more stable.
stability
Sorry if i am incorrect about this.
As far as i can tell you want to stay with offical roms due to warranty.
I have heard that if you go back to 1.6 even though official, dell wont cover the warranty.
If you are not worried about try :-
The leaked 2.1 rom. I hear it is more stable than 02's 2.1 rom.
Or even go for stephen Hydes brilliant 2.2 roms.
I don't care about official or unofficial. I'll try loading one of the other roms. MY issues have been with getting the rom on the device though. Lets see.
Yes, I know...it's been posted many times before but I still haven't read a thread with my particular problems. Ok, so here goes....I have a locked Rogers Streak that I tried to flash to DJ_Steve's 1.4.6 using the sticky, but of course it didn't go so well so I ended up stuck at the Dell logo.
Next I tried a bunch of recovery img's via Fast_boot, but still no luck. So the current situation is that I can get to the recovery menu and I can Fast_boot:
1) I've Fast_boot'ed to Clockwork img, but when I choose option 2, I get a black screen.
2) I've Fast_boot'ed to 309 img, and tried to just straight update to official Dell 2.2 Streak_315_12332_00.pkg, but I get an error saying that it can't mount the SD card.
3) I've tried this fix as well: http://weethomas.wordpress.com/ And that did flash, I was stuck at the Dell log and when I try to flash the recovery img again, it does not flash option 2 in the recovery menu even after a factory reset.
4) I'm a little bit tired and a little bit drunk right now and I do not usually post anything at all (as you can tell from my stats, but I've been a member since the Atom Exec days and can search the posts ), I am kinda stuck right now so a little guidence would be great.
Thank you all!
Just flash the stock A1.6 and than 2.2. If this works, please leave xda devs cause it looks like you don´t know what to do and opens threats we have enough of them
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.

Look at what he says to do the the 1.6 non at&t rom and do that to any 2.2 and it worked.
But really 318 is that same thing. and Streakdroid 1.8.0 is 100% better.

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.

Look at what he says to do the the 1.6 non at&t rom and do that to any 2.2 and it worked.
But really 318 is that same thing. and Streakdroid 1.8.0 is 100% better.

I have done all that, many many times before and it has always worked but this time it isn't working. I have done the root explorer thing. My phone will not boot passed the logo after all the steps have been completed. I cannot figure out whats causing the problem. I have downgraded to US AT&T 1.6 several times in the past with the method you and everyone else state but this time I am getting nowhere.

I hosed mine to a black screen that would not turn on.
The repair tool would not get it going.
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.

Thats what I'm trying to say... the only way I can get out of the logo is by doing this. I am on the pre-release of 2.2 as of now but I want to downgrade to AT&T 1.6 and back to the new AT&T 2.2 rom but it wont cooperate with me. Whenever I try, I get the silly logo and have to use QDL to get me unstuck.

Ok. Forget going to 1.6. Download the Rom and the files and. OTA won't work.
Follow the instructions and put the three files and the boot.ing on your 2.2 Rom.
Put the new update.pkg on the sd
Reboot recovery select to instal and it will install it.
I have done this twice.

It will not work!! I keep getting the status 7 error which then sends it to reboot but never gets pass the logo! The only way to get out of the logo is to pull the battery and use QDL to put me back at 318.
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.

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...
