hello all. i was running the stock at&t 2.2 build 15697 version 331 and hated how slow the phone was running. i was trying to downgrade back to the at&t 1.6 so that i can flash over to streakdroid 1.9.0. there were no instructions on the net on how to downgrade from 2.2 build 15697 to 1.6 and so i tried following the direction from the Guide to Upgrading and Downgrading the Streak thread. doing that bricked my phone and now im stuck on the dell logo boot up screen. tried flashing the recovery for build 15697 using fastboot and still no go. can someone please help me out. been searching for about 4 hours now and no help anywhere on the net. thanks in advanced everyone.
You don't need to downgrade to 1.6 in order to get 1.9.0. Where did you read that was required?
Just flash streakmod recovery, put the streakdroid zip on the sd card, same with install.txt, and follow the rest of posted directions.

i was following the directions on the upgrade/downgrade guide thread. i was under the impression that i needed to flash to O2 os.
thanks for the info...ill let you know if it works.
If you are not sure how to do the flashing of the recovery there is a tool that can be used on your computer. Look for it in the streak dev sub forum.
It is call multirecovery tool. It has all the recoveries you would need. You would have to put the rom you want on the sd card and install it with the recovery.

I had 2.1 installed and working with root and then got a little jumpy and put the latest 2.1 (build 8023) release on it. That worked. I wanted to root the phone, but the androot app did not work even trying it twice. So I grabbed superboot and it installed, but now the phone won't proceed past the dell logo. I can get into fastboot mode fine, and can work cyanogen recovery great. With a stock recovery, it shows a black screen on option 2 trying to install the Update.pkg.
Any suggestions? The phone is essentially "soft bricked" at the moment.
Help!
Thanks,
Rick
Try this worked for me

If the above doesn't work there is another post floating around on Google which has different commands to run for flashing the stock recovery. From what I remember instead of just flashing the Rom, you can erase the other partitions prior to installing the recovery. Send me a pm and ill send you the files which finally unbricked my phone.

I've used Universal Androot on the Froyo build on the Streak - for some odd reason you have to do it twice (some report three) times in a row for it to work.

So your device is now not booting and when you turn it on you just get the DELL logo right?
If yes then what I would do is either flash the ROM again via koush's recovery [I'm assuming you have a custom recovery installed because you have managed to flash a ROM and it's now not working] in the recovery options there is a partitions menu, in there wipe boot, system and cahce reflash the rom form a zip
If that dosent work, put the latest update.pkg file on your device, flash the stock recovery via fastboot then flash the update.pkg via stock recovery
Try that
Alright guys, hey.
I am currently using an official stock ROM 2.2.2. I don't have any recoveries and stuff on it, it's just like the one you get when you buy it. So I'm just asking if you guys could help me out on a way to go on a Streakdroid 1.9.0
Also; I'm quite skeptical of upgrading/flashing my phone cuz I don't want it bricked. If you need any more info, just say it
You can get streakdroid installed for sure. However u need to do a lot of reading about installing streak recoveries, fastboot and so on.
There are some really good guides around here.
However there is always a chance u can brick.

Alright, after going through all the readings, I successfully managed to install Streakdroid on my Dell. However, it feels quite the same as the official ROM.
Also, what are the differences between Cyanogen mod and Streakdroid?
Thanks!
Unfortunately there are not many developers working on streak. This is the best we have got.
This may sound like a dumb question. Do you have 1.9.0 installed or just the streakmod recovery?

I firstly installed Streakmod Recovery ( I used MultiRecovery, you just start the program on the computer and choose which recovery you want, install instructions are there ) and then installed Streakmod 1.9.0 using the Streakmod Recovery and flashing the .zip file on my SD card. It's that simple actually. The first boot took a little time to load, I was getting panicked, and then it started to boot up. It's a lot faster then the stock rom.
Ok sounds like you are there.
You will notice all the crapware is gone.
You should notice things are a bit smoother.
Also you are now rooted.

I am currently dead locked between gausb1a131500-us / gausb1a130900, Build 11548 & gausb1a131500-us / gausb1a131500 Build 15609.
My goal is to have the original stock 347 back. I seem to be getting close. I would stay with either of the above if the button lights would stop flashing. I am comfortable with fastboot, streakmod recovery, superuser procedures etc. I seem to be having the problem with combinations. If someone could advise the best course of action step by step I am sure that I will have the "so that's what I missed!!" epiphany.
5 days straight but I am going to get it......

Is it possible to use ROM manager from within Android to achieve this?
Looking into QDL Tool
Do you have a nandroid backup of 347 or the original pkg files of 347? If I'm reading correctly you have pieces of the 315/309 roms on your phone?

I have a Nandroid backup (supposed) of 347 that is not my own. I received my Streak last Wednesday and after a successful Root unistalled Dell stage (still kicking myself). Long story short, I have been trying to restore it to OEM without having made a back up of any kind. I have it running on 315/315 but the flashing buttons are troublesome. As Android modification is fairly new to me (I am well versed in iphone, xbox, PSP) it has been somewhat nerveracking trying to put everyones experiance into a viable fix.
Is it the one from this forum with the firstboot file missing?

No I do not believe so. Can you give me some pointers on my current situation?
Navigating the forums with the xda app isn't the easiest so all I can suggest is flashing the 351 or 354 recovery, followed by the respective update.pkg.
If you're sure the nandroid backup is complete, install streakmodrecovery or clockworkmod, whichever the back up was made with, then run restore.

You must upgrade to 407 rom then install custom rom, such as: DSC 2.2 or CM7.

Hi All!
Maybe this is not the fastest way to get a streak running, but I thought I might share a fairly fast way.
This procedure will take you to a completely clean pdroid DSC 2.2 Streak.
Put 407 update.pkg on the external SD
Startup in Fastboot mode and flash 407 recovery image on your device, I used multiflasher to do this
Start up in recovery mode and apply update.pkg
Let the system continue all the way until you see the welcome screen
Shut the system down by long press on power and acknowledge
Put DSCv2.0-rel.zip, PDroid-v1.31-DSCv2.0.zip and updDSCv2.2-PDroid.zip (optional DSC_StageUI.zip) on the external SD
While the system is down cut out the plastic covering the internal SD and put in a class 10 (I used a sandisk 4GB class 10)
Boot normally and let the system format the internal SD
Again, when at the welcome screen shut the system down
Startup in Fastboot mode and flash your favorite recovery for flashing .zip-files (I use StreakMod-Recovery)
Start up in recovery mode and flash all zip files in the same order as mentioned above, then wipe cache partition, clean dalwik cache and fix permissions (Optionally make a nandroid backup of the very clean system)
Done, Let the system boot up and set up your device as per your own liking
I'll monitor this thread to answer any specific questions.
PS, _n0p_, I can't thank you enough for this development and yours and everyone elses tireless support! I was so worried when your Streak was dead for a while. Lets hope there is some hope for CM9 and/or CM10

i wanna some one help me to install this rom and help me to enter to streak mod recovery
i can't understand this
flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
If you don't understand fastboot, you have a lot of reading to do before you attempt to root your Streak. Unless of course you want a shiny paperweight. Check the Development forum, the sticky posts at the top of each page, and the XDA Developers Wiki for information on how to root.
i am actually now rooted my device by gingerbreak
now i wanna to enter to StreakMod-Recovery but i can't just i wanna some one help me to enter to StreakMod-Recovery)
thanks
Hold down both volume buttons while turning the Streak on. Select option 2 on the screen that appears.
One thing: upgrade to ClockworkMod. Some files cannot be installed by StreakMod.
I wanna to thank you bro for your help
can you tell how to install clockworkmod in the streak 5 because I have no idea to do that because iam new in the android
If you have a video explain how to install colockworkmod please give me
Thanks for your help
If you're running Windows, look for a thread on MultiRecovery Flasher and read it. The version of the program you want is Multiflasher, which is near the end of the thread.
