Hi,
Notice on WiKi page of Dell Streak that there is no update for ROM version 2.1.1 build 10350 00 (GAUSB1A12100-EU).
Does anyone have it or knows where to dwnl it?
best regards,
JaFre
Do you have 121 or 211?
If you do could you provide a nandroid dump of it?
Hi TheManii,
I have version 2.1.1 build 10350 00 (GAUSB1A12100-EU).
Is this same version i'm looking for.
Cause i want to try 2.2 but want to be sure to be able to go back to 2.1.1 again if i want.
Have you seen v2.1.1 b10350 anywhere?
or
Is there a way to revert from 2.2 to 2.1.1?
"nandroid dump"?!?! What do you mean?
cheers,
JaFre
Yes, that's 211 (are you sure your baseband isnt GAUSB1A121100 ?)
I have only seen it mentioned once on modaco and havnt ever seen it first or secondhand.
If you could post your build number that would be great
to install make a nandroid dump install streakmod and go to advanced -> nandroid -> full backup, there are instructions on install it on it's thread
If you do upgrade off 211 you wont be able to restore to it 100%, you need the original update.pkg to do that (if you have it, i would really appreciate it)
Hi TheManii,
You're right: my Dell Streak is GAUSB1A121100-EU
and came with Android v2.1.1 build 10350, which is the version i'm after (in case i don't like v2.2 i can rollback to original v2.1.1)!
The build number?! Isn't it 10350? (Android v2.1.1 build 10350).
What files do we get from an nandroid dump? An original "update.pkg" file of 2.1.1, like the ones that come from Dell's OTA?
Can i put that file in an MicroSD and flashback from 2.2 to 2.1.1?
Never did nandroid dump. Is it easy and not risky to brick the phone?
cheers,
JaFre
the build number is 10350
a nandroid dump only makes copies of all the files in memory, and saves them to a folder as images, the only files i need are boot.img and system.img (the rest are your personal data, those two are the system files)
if you do a stock/ota update it also changes firmwares (like baseband) those cant be restored without the original update pkgs, if you had one it would be in your sd card, if you dont then you dont
if you upgrade off 211 dont expect for it to work 100% the same if you try restoring back to it
Are those PKGs on the WiKi Rom's area the original update pkgs that come over the air from Dell update server (for example: http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg)?
Tell me and correct me if i'm wrong:
In order to flash Streak:
1 - Rename "Streak_318_12821_00.pkg" to "Update.pkg", copy it to microSD card root.
2 - Start Dell Streak holding the volume up and down buttons down while pressing the power button.
3 - Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" from recovery menu.
4 - The Streak will reboot and that's it!
cheers,
JaFre
In the meantime, i'll try to nandroid.
Cold you point me with a link to the nandroid procedure?
cheers,
JaFre

All pkgs are straight from dell, but some are not on their OTA server

to do that, grab the fastboot package (either from the android SDK or here) and streakmod
put your phone in fastboot mode
(only needs to be done once on pc)
go to device manager (assumes you're on windows)
find your phone (should have android in it's name)
install the drivers from the fastboot zip
flash streakmod
make a nandroid backup
(this assumes you have basic knowledge of the command line)
Hi TheManii,
Doing nandroid full backup right now with StreakMod Recovery v0.3.2.6-beta.
It gets stuck forever at "Backing up firstboot"!
Help needed!
cheers,
JaFre
I dont know offhand if it's an option, but try a selective backup and back up everything but firstboot
if that doesnt work/isnt available (i dont know if it's an option without looking myself) try installing the different versions of clockwork here
hopefully one of those options will work
Hey TheManii,
All i've got in a dir. inside rom_backup was:
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
recovery.img
system.img
Does it help to complement WiKi's database?
Now i'd like to return to the original stock recovery.img version, instead of StreakMod Recovery.
Could you tell me how to do so?
cheers,
jafre
I'm interested in boot and system.img, i'd like to look at the dump and update the wiki with it
if you didnt mess with your system files all you gotta do is restart to return to stock recovery.
Hey TheManii,
What do you mean by "mess with your system files"?
All i did was like you sugested:
"to do that, grab the fastboot package (either from the android SDK or here) and streakmod
1.put your phone in fastboot mode
2.(only needs to be done once on pc)
1.go to device manager (assumes you're on windows)
2.find your phone (should have android in it's name)
3.install the drivers from the fastboot zip
3.flash streakmod
4.make a nandroid backup"
I had to flash recovery.img with streakmod's version.
Even if i do a restart, streakmod's recovery would still be there, right?
cheers,
jafre
Have you rooted your phone and messed with files with a file manager?
If you havnt just restart and it'll be stock again
"Have you rooted your phone and messed with files with a file manager?"
- No.
"If you havnt just restart and it'll be stock again"
- I'm still having in recovery mode the Advanced menu and inside Nandroid options.
- Isn't that supposed to be a StreakMod Recovery and not a original Dell recovery???
If you've gotten nandroid to back up 211 i'd recommend updating to 318 or 345, 211 is very old and besides it's rarity I wouldnt recommend using it.
This part is up to you though, 211 will work fine with stock recovery or with streakmod
My recovery says v0.3.2.6-beta.
That is StreakMod Recovery!!!
i don't want to upgrade from 2.1.1 just yet, at least before i explore it first.
I just flashed StreakMod Recovery to get you the source of 2.1.1!
I want to put back the original recovery version!
Can you help, or not?
If it doesnt restore on it's own you cant do it manually, but it's not a big deal as stock rec cant do anything but update to a diff stock version
Hey TheManii,
How can i give you the boot.img and system.img from v2.1.1 build 10350 00?
Now i have v2.2.2 build 15380.
Is it possible to return to 2.1.1 the original build i had just with boot.img and system.img?
Could you tell me how?
cheers,
JaFre

I read and read - did not see an answer to my question - if so I did not understand.
I have ran the NvFlash and it appeared to go okay - but now my Gpad does is rotate back and forth between the Viewsonic and Gtablet screen.
I am stuck on what to do next.
Thanks very much for your help!
Same exact thing happened to me Friday night. I fixed it by partitioning to 2048 0 using CWM via NVFlash.
How do you do that?
Sorry to be so thick!!!!
I found the downloads for cwm - how do you access that with NvFlash?
You can flash the stock recovery images and swap in teh part9.img with the CWM recovery file taken from the cwm zip.
Basically, you need to extract the CWM recovery zip and get the recovery.img file. You rename this to part9.img and replace the part9.img file in the nvflash_stock 1105 directory wherever you have it.
Alternativly, you can put CWM recovery on the microsd card, the instructions are in the CWM recovery thread.
Finally, I had issues failing to boot when I was using a different nvflash.exe. You should use the 140KB nvflash file for the process outlined int eh stock recovery thread.
CWM and nvflash are 2 different things. Install cwm and repartition as suggested.

Here's a step-by-step tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030042
Once you're into CWM just go to advanced and then partition to change to 2048 & 0.
Btw, since you're going to be changing two files in your NVFlash folder (part9.img & nvflash_gtablet.bat) you may want to copy them somewhere else on your pc so you can put them back after you're done.
I did manage to get it to boot and download the 3588 update but when it reboots and tries to apply the update it fails.
Any ideas?

One way is to get the 3588 zip from the forum here & download it to the root of the G Tablet. Rename it to update.zip & install with CWM. I'd also wide data/factory reset & wipe cache partition too.
I have installed CWM now with no problem.
The Gpad boots to Viewsonic Tap UI version1.0-2638
It then informs me that there is an update to 3588
It proceeds to download the update - asks me to accept and apply the update
States it will shutdown to apply this update - it does, reboots - and after a few seconds a triangle with an exclimation mark along side the little Android man pops up and will do nothing else.
I, also, downloaded the 3588.zip file as suggested in the previous reply and got the same result.
I wiped the cache and did the data factory reset as well.
Any ideas to where I can go from here as all of this is new to me?
Hi everyone - got it fixed.
I appreciate everyones help.
Hello,
I recently tried to install custom firmware for my dell streak, However, my device
is android 2.2.2, and I tried to install superboot ver 2.1 (Cuz a misleading
comment on a web site mentioned its ok to root the system by it), my dell
suddenly rebooted in an infinite loop. I tried to enter the recovery menu by
holding the volume buttons and then choosing recovery. Also, I downloaded
Streak_309_11548_00.pkg and hoped this would work, but a stupid error
had occurred, bad, just bad file at the middle of verification process.
Anyway, I cant install clockworkmod because there is no way to root the
device, besides I dont have any back-up image of the streak.
please forum help me, the phone is almost new ( 2 tweeks of use only)
and I will pay if your solution work.
Regards and dont flame me, Im a new android user.
tried an older update, new error
Status 2???!!!
You do not have to be rooted to install a custom recovery. You do have to 'catch' the phone as it reboots by holding the volume up and volume down buttons as it reboots after the fastboot reboot command. If you let it boot into a stock rom the stock recovery will overwrite the custom ROM.
Use StreakMod Recovery if you want a custom Rom.
You need to slow down and do some reading before you go any further.
Suggestions;
Streak Wiki
Universal instructions for flashing any ROM and FAQ
Making a custom recovery stick
Using StreakMod Recovery
Do you know what baseband is on your phone? If you do DL the rom from the Streak WiKi, rename it update.pkg and put in on your SD Card, do not put it into a folder. Start recovery and select to install the update.pkg. You probably got the error when you attempted to use BB 309 because the recovery and the rom you attempted to flash did not match. They need to match so keep trying until you get the correct rom for the version of the recovery that is on your phone.
You could also use fastboot to install StreakMod Recovery, use the fastboot command to rebot the Streak, As soon as the reboot process starts hold down both volume buttons to get to StreakMod. If you use StreakMod you could install SimpleStreak or StreakDroid 1.9.1.
There are links to useful references in my signature.
Good luck.
PS - your Streak is not bricked as long as you can get into recovery, fastboot or your can connect to your computer and the QDLTool will see it.
Im in recovery menu now and If I click
Software upgrade via Update.pkg
the screen goes blank and then just nothing.
K clockworkmod works now
tell me what to do next.
I tried to install streakdroid 2 and its works WOW, thanx to you.
one last question how to install the latest baseband from the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091236
sadly the link isnt available.
Don't worry about the latest baseband. If it boots up for you, I would stop there for now. If you were on 2.2.2, then you have either 351-354. Any of those will work for you.

First, I would like to thank you and the forum for your help.
I have experienced a low graphical performance, and Im thinking to roll back
to the latest DJ_steave's custom firmware (2.2.2), However, I can access to
clockworkmod by pressing both volume buttons and then choose the recovery
option, thats weird since almost all tutorials mention that if you want to access
that mod, you have to press the volume up button along the power button.
For now Im waiting for a response whether to downgrade the firmware or
keeping the streakdroid 2.
Regards.
if everything is working then i suggest before trying anything else. do a nandroid backup first, (by going into recovery then advanced and then you see a nandroid backup option)
And i feel streakroid recovery package is preferred for streak as it is designed for streak only and works great.
lesson = homework
I have a rooted TMo Vibrant running 2.1. I want to install a custom ROM and have the paid version of ROM mgr installed. I have downloaded the new ROM and I also have a (separate) zip of a different ROM on the SD card. The beginning steps of the installation go smoothly. But when I get to the point where ROM mgr says "Do you want to go into recovery mode to continue installation?" and I Select YES, the phone reboots into NORMAL mode and the installation ends. Same thing happens if I try to install manually from the SD card. I scroll down and select "install zip ...". Then the next screen that pops up has "reboot", " delete data", "reinstall packages", etc . I have tried all those options. But ultimately I end up back at the point where the only option I haven't chosen is "reboot system now". When I select reboot, the phone reboots in normal mode again. What am I doing wrong?
Not sure if this is your problem, but sounds like you need clockwork mod recovery update.zip on your phone.
Here is the trick though, when you get into normal recovery, sometimes you have to apply the cwm recovery update.zip TWICE to get into cwm recovery.
Boot up phone into stock recovery
apply the cwm recovery update.zip
phone reboots into stock recovery again
apply the cwm recovery update.zip again.
Hope that helps.
I would suggest doing this.
First and foremost make a nandroid backup, you can use cwm to do this. place a copy of the backup on your computer.
Backup your /efs folder which contains your nv_data.bin and imei information. You loose this you are f*cked.
Get the cwm recovery update.zip and put it on your internal sd root. If you have multiple update.zip files, just delete them all, just make sure the cwm recovery update.zip is there.
Also place the zip file of the rom onto your internal sd root also.
Disable voodoo lagfix if you have that installed.
Odin back to stock jfd 2.1. When finished next..
Apply cwm recovery update, apply TWICE to get into cwm recovery.
Then you can go into cwm recovery and select the zip of the rom you want to flash.
Follow all install directions of the ROM developer, they may want you to be on 2.2 first, which would mean odin to stock jfd 2.1, flash stock 2.2, then install whatever rom you are trying to.
That is how I do it.
I have a question about Clockwork recovery and this phone. Above you say that if any .zips are on internal sd to delete them and leave CWR on there only. I have this. Then if we want to go into the CWR we have to apply the update.zip twice. I do this also. Why can't we just replace the stock recovery with the Clockwork one and bypass the having to reinstall the packages twice. Maybe an sh init_hijack or something like that. I have been trying to find where the stock recovery "lives" to no avail. If you know where it is, then I can work on this and post the results.
Seems reasonable that if we replace the stock files with the CWR files and hijack the rocvery at boot it should work to boot right into CWR directly.

Well with MiUi and CM it goes directly into clockwork mod recovery. I guess that's the stock recovery on MiUi and CM.
For me, only on 2.1 and 2.2 roms did I have to apply cwm recovery.zip twice.

I have not used either for this phone but have with other phones and I think that it is b/c they reworked the services and framework.jars into an expanded power menu. I will see it that hack works on this one, so it will be easier on 2.1 and 2.2 for "relative" noobs. I have done it once for another phone and then my computer crashed (not issue related). I'll let you know what I find out this weekend b/c it'll take some time to get the pathways correct.
I appreciate you quick replies and have taken the first part of the advice and tried to backup everything (Which I thought I did using CWM). Just to be safe I have now installed Root Explorer and will back up everything this evening. Can't do more right now. Need to get back to work. Wayne
That did it. I now have my new ROM installed and a back-up of my efs file (which I mistakenly thought was included in my Nandroid back-up). BTW my nandroid, back-up produced by CWM doesn't include a boot image (or at least there is no image called "boot"). I thought there should be a boot image. In any case, I'm finally over the problem I've been trying for days to overcome. Thanks sooooo much. Wayne
Hi guys, I have tested installing GingerStreak 2.4.4 for my Streak 5.
But for some reasons, I would like to recover my device to 2.2.2 stock Rom.
(Stock Recovery Rom Files (.pkg, etc) are already got when I updated my Streak 5.)
Unfortunately, I haven't backup with Nandroid.
Then, how can I restore the device to the Rom as Stocked version?
I suggest:
Download the amss.mbn, dsp1.mbn, and recovery for the Froyo ROM you want to install.
Download the pkg file for the ROM you want to install, rename it to upgrade.pkg and put it in the root of your SD Card.
Flash the amss.mbn, dsp1.mbn and recovery files to your Streak using fastboot.
Boot into stock recovery and select option 2.
Do not let your phone boot normally - when you use the fastboot reboot command make sure that you boot right into the recovery you just installed.
I know that some users have not flashed the amss.mbn and dsp1.mbn files before successfully reverting to Froyo from Gingerbread, and that if the flash of the upgrade.pkg file is successful these files will be flashed also. I just wonder if these files conflicting with the recovery (not matching versions) have something to do with the reports of problems reverting from GingerStreak to a Froyo build.
Theses are the steps I followed with no problems to get from GS 2.4.3 back to Stock 351. YMMV.
If you want to go to a custom Froyo rom install the stock rom it is based on, let your phone reboot and then install the custom rom.
Thanks a lot for your detailed suggestions.
Being different way from the way you suggested,
I had tried this way -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206187
and I have success to re-flash Stock Rom to my S5.
However, your guide is not only very interesting but also be my study.
Thank you again, very much!
HI
I have read many of the Forums and seen Various Videos on how to install new ROMS onto the dell streak.There are dedicated members who contribute to these forums.i THANK THEM FOR THEIR TIME..I have a couple of questions ?
I have updated my streak from PKG 351 to 360 and this was straight forward and I did not need to change the recovery as I am from region 00
1.I followed all instructions and loaded Fastboot with Dell drivers but when I updated the recovery file there was no indication that this was carred out.
2.I know the next step is to update the PKG but I am not sure if the recovery was loaded.I looked at the information on the phone and its still E.U
3.I want to install Latest Olleh rom
Thanks
In recovery mode after you select "update from sd" it will show the version of the recovery.
You may try to flash over existing recovery even if its not 350, it will just fail. But it will no harm to your prone
Hi
I have used this as my guide
http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=9694 ( I used XP before and could not get it to work.I am on windows 7 now and I got fastboot to work
Recovery IMG and PKG file is on SD card
1.Recovery file is run as and update Pakage ?
1. Verfy version of recovery - boot in recovery mode and choose "software update via update.pkg on sd card" (I've already flashed to 407 olleh, so I cant say what id got 350 recovery. You may ask someone who still got 350 recovery, or wrote it down)
2. If version is correct - flash.
Again - you may flash on any recovery, but success is guarantied only on 350.
Don't forget - YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA EXEPT FILES ON SD CARD AFTER UPGRADE
By the way that guide is exhaustive
Hi
My issue was that I downloaded the IMG but did not run it as update.
I am running on 407.I wll see how this ROM functions and it might be time to add some custom Roms ;-)
It was easier using Windows seven when using Fastboot.

Trouble with update.pkg
I've tried 5 times to flash the 407 rom. I flashed the 350 recovery in fastboot. I put the 407 pkg on the root of my streak sd card,renamed it to update.pkg.Then booted into recovery and opted to apply update.pkg from sd. It says the update is applied, but just stays on Dell screen. The only thing I have done different from the guide is I havent been rebooting through fastboot, just pulling battery after recovery is flashed. Any ideas?

reboot via fastboot (fastboot reboot) and go directly into recovery by holding the volume up and volume down buttons.
If that doesn't work flash the 407 recovery instead, reboot using fastboot directly into recovery and install the update.pkg from there.
You mean the 407.pkg? I couldnt find the 407 recovery img
Marvin,thanks, apparently that last step(rebooting via fastboot and going directly to update was critical). I'm actually running Longhorn 2.1 v2 now and am liking it so far. I'll run it for a while.

Trying the 407 recovery now, the 350 didnt work even when rebooting via fastboot. Im sure the proper recovery is being flashed as they ended in 35014 and 40714 just before flashing update.pkg. Still on dell logo, going to wait 5 more minutes. Does my phone being rooted affect anything?
finally got there, probably took 20 attempts. Was going from custom gb rom via streakdroid recovery. flashed streakdroid 1.9.1,then recovery 350 and 407 update.pkg,then factory reset . I do have flashing lights , so going to try reflashing bb
Problems in update
I have downloaded 407 and moved to my sd. I have then reboot to update the pkg. But I might unable to download any recovery both 350 and 407. Says content is not supported by this phone. The I have version 355 version. Pls help
I have got a stock 2.2 ROM, so I decided to update the PKG and recovery using Fastboot. I did the recovery bit fine but it's taking its sweet old time with the update.pkg, is this normal?
Btw, I'm in the UK so I got the latest O2 version 319, build 12792 which matches what it says in the about phone section.
Could be because I'm updating with the same pkg that it's not got anything to update, if that makes sense!?
If so, how do I know I have streakmod installed then? Can I remove the pkg file from the SD Card and try accessing the boot menu then going to option 2?
EDIT- It hasn't updated because when I try and update it again when there is no pkg file on the SD card, I get a blue message from Dell Update Utilty or something.
When I did try to update it, I had left it running for 30 mins but there was simply a black screen. The guide from-
http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=9694
says it should take around 10-15 minutes though, so is this normal?
