so are you saying your on the official 2.2 but you want to update to the streakdroid 2.3 custom rom? Is this correct?
Actually, he didn't like the answer I gave him in this thread, because instead of handing him the answers on a silver platter I provided him with a link and told him to use the search engine. So he's looking to you to give him the answer, instead of taking the time to read the sticky I provided him.
It's your decision as to whether you want to help him, and how much you want to help him. But whatever you do, encourage him to read the friggin' sticky, so that he has a fighting chance of fixing potential problems that may happen in the process of rooting.

ha yeah i hear you! I know i didn't get anything handed to me on a silver platter when it came to figuring it all out. I did my own work and research and read almost every post and sticky i could before i even attempted to jump to a custom rom. thanks for the heads up man! Im only here to help if someone gets stuck in a bind not a full hand out of every single detail.
Sooo many answers and not enough time to sort through them.
So what did I do wrong if my streak is getting the failed install Status 7 error?
Someone says to just let the phone startup but mine gets stuck and stays at the Dell logo.
Thanks!!

I tried again and still get the following...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
E: Error in /sdcard/GS2_3beta2.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
So I don't know what I am doing wrong. I copied the amss and dsp1 files via fastboot and did the factory reset. but no dice.
I was on just the GingerStreak but it had a couple random restarts and is unable to install some applications to the SD card. Could be an SD card error so I will check that real quick.
Might go to one of the stock roms since I am too dumb to figure this out.
broerman2003,
Thanks for the offer. I'll take advantage & ask a quick question.
Under "About Phone" what Baseband Version is reported?
After amss & dps files were added my info is "Unknown."
Cheers

That is exactly how it should show up after flashing the AMSS and DPS, so everything worked perfectly

ok. what recovery flasher are you using to flash this rom with. I personally use clockworkmod to flash mine with. if you are using this as well let me know and ill tell you the steps i used when i installed mine. also if you do have an extra sd card try swapping it out with it and see what happens. if not try formating sd card in the settings of your phone.

hey sorry it took so long to get back to you. ok on my streak it says Baseband version is GAUSB00000. not sure why yours is says unknown but this baseband version mine is saying looks a little odd anyways cause i know the last 2 numbers (00) means unlocked version and of course im sure this rom is based off of a 354 or higher baseband and i dont even see that in the version code so im assuming this is a generic made up baseband that was written up in the build prop. hope this helps you out!

In Korean KT Olleh and dell Korea websites,
Stated as Gingerbread 2.3.3 with security patch updated..
Support OTA upgrade starting from today....
That's all so far I got from KT Olleh website...
in DSC thread we are dissected all
almost no changes.
Yeah ???
So fast ~~
Anyway, can be flashed under 350's recovery (354 bring error..).
Quadrant Score : +-1300
Android 2.3.3
Baseband : GAUSB1A1406214-EU
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf
OEM version : GAUSB1A140714
Build number : 20707
are shown after flashing ~~ as an information someone need..
New Rom: 407 Official GB is out

Nothing (except kernel) actually changed from 406.
It's not really surprising that little has changed, I believe you've installed the pkg, can you confirm?
I wont be actually installing it for another 12-18 hours. Prelim reports are that the baseband is GAUSB1A1406214-xx
that 2 is completely out of place in an otherwise consistant bb string
GAUSB1A1406214
Right inside new BB.
Clean stock ROM possible?
Hello
My 2 cents: I think an "clean up" stock 407 stock ROM would be excellent:
- cut the Olleh apps
- more system languages
- swype with more languages
- rooted
Basically nothing fancy, just an easy flash on top the stock 407 to make it more appealing to international users.
Thanks
robert
Regardless of the changes actually in it, they decided to number it in a stupid way to differentate it.
Who knows why, but it's obviously different (very least in the version string)
It at least fun and gives some ideas about mbn signing system.
Actually, only signing parts and bb number changed.
How about USSD Code ? Can send ussd code using this new official build GB ?

USSD Code not running on stock 407 as I tested in Malaysia... I am not sure in other region.... so I immesiately flashed to DSC ~~
Anyway, I will watch out whether patch will be announce by Olleh or not... as I ALREADY COMPLAINT STRONGLY !!!
I've been running this ROM today and the only problem I encountered was with google video. It seems to think my device is rooted but it isn't. Any ideas how to fix this? I would really like to watch movies on this screen.

I did a binary diff of it myself and wow you're right. There's like only 2-3 files that arnt either: identical, or less then a dozen bytes changed. Does not explain the stupid 406(2) version in the BB though, they really got lazy.
There's bound to be a reason that they bothered having to push a (nearly identical) version though their beta testers though. As it takes 20 or so days for them to QA before releasing anything.
I'm quite surprised that wifi issue somehow got through QA.
MMI could go unnoticed, as it one operator version, but that?
The only thought - they paid a bit to devs to sell stock leftovers, declaring that Streak has not very outdated Gingerbread.
Next logical - no intl 00 version will ever be released.
As the subject says,
Few months back i went to the only dell service in My city (Ludhiana) which now is now closed. to get my venue recovered, she left the package 2.2.2 in my device. I have uploaded it on below link.

thanks a lot dude...many ppl will find it very useful to use this to flash their roms back to stock froyo if they brick their fone...very helpful
Could someone remirror that somewhere you dont have to register to download?
I cant put a copy up (or even determine what pkg it is exactly) if I cant download it in the first place.

That's just the 406 pkg, which is a GB rom. Are you sure that it's a 2.2.x pkg?
I've checked it's hash and it's identical, it's pretty much impossible for it to be a coincidence that it's identical.

I've recently just bought an S2 and have been reading through this forum, all the things I can do once I've rooted my S2.
I've never had an Android phone before, and I know nothing about it.
I've followed all the noob guides on how to root, and I just can't get the same things up on screen as the guides show. I've no idea how to put the CWM recovery zip file on my phones sd card.
This is the guide i'm trying to follow;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
And I just can't do it. - The guide says 'put file in sd card' - I can't even do that!
Any help please - for an absolute noob!

Ok. You're in the right place.
That guide you mention above where you're supposed to put the file on your sd card. It means your external sd card. So you could do it either by turning on usb storage when your phone is plugged into your computer, or by popping the sd card out and putting it into a card reader.

Are you sure it was from the above link? It sounds like you installed a Claro branded firmware, instead of an unbranded one. And that link doesn't have a Claro branded firmware that I saw.
Plus, I think pelpa87 intended for you to flash one of the CF-root kernels for you to get root, not an entire firmware.
I dont understand why ppl dont guide you to Chainfire post on how to root.

I've always followed chainfire's guide and i've never had an issue. Did this on my Galaxy S and now on Galaxy S2.
Try this out before you say Galaxy S2 is junk.
the whole phone is now in a different language and boots with a claro boot screen and background - no idea what i've done at all. just want it back to normal - don't know if i've installed a rom, kernel or firmware!!??? how do i get the standard android boot, theme, look etc.. back?

Go back to here, choose an UNbranded firmware and flash it.
I'd suggest I9100XWLPG.
Do what the post above me says, then if you want you can try using the CF-Root kernel to get root.
Just make sure you read all of it before proceding.

Dude. If you still have the Claro branding, and the only thing that changed is you got the yellow triangle, then you're doing it wrong. That means you probably just flashed the CF-root kernel for XWLPG... because if you would have flashed the whole firmware, it would NOT have the yellow triangle, and you would NOT have the Claro branding anymore.
You want the first link. Not the second. The second is if you want to root AFTER you flash the first.

Hello guys,i am a complete novice to dell and have a dell streak 5 that is running android version

kernel version
2.6.32.9-dj_steve-BFS-CFQ-KGSL2D-Vol-OC
oem version

StreakDroid 1.9.0 from a DJ steve (on device when i purchased) and has basically ground to a Holt
I do not have much of an idea but i know that it needs updating.having read the forums about the updates my head is all over the place.
i ask please for a link to the correct firmware i need to flash.. and what i need to flash with the easiest way
Hope you can help me and point me in the right direction..I have took the time to read the forums but i still have no idea what i need for this device
as i have just received it.
Many many thanks in advance
Rather open-ended question because the correct firmware is going to vary depending on what you want to do. For instance, do you wish to revert to a stock ROM? Do you want to be as up to date as possible? Are certain features important to you?
I personally don't recommend going back to stock, but to go forward and get a custom gingerbread ROM. Check the development forum for four good ones: Longhorn 2.9.1, DSC 1.2, Cyanogenmod 7, and MIUI.

no need to revert to stock then... streakdroid 1.9 is the best for 2.2.2... so whats the point on going back to stock...? all stock are not optimized at all and have many hidden and useless application in it...
last time i tried using the deodexed stock but still it is not enough and does drain the battery too... custom rom is way better...
but if you insist on going stock.. i am not stopping you.. do what ever you want.. also updating to stock gingerbread such as olleh 407 has its own problem too...

Help should be given willingly and without knowledge bias or you should not bother being on the site'just because you know more about a certain piece of kit does not give anyone the right to be all high and mighty...you know this thread inside out I do not so I asked for help.

I see from other posts that you are going to put 407 on the device and with this post why you're going that route is clear. Factory reset isn't required prior to flashing because flashing the ROM itself will wipe everything. What is required is that the stock recovery image for 407 be placed on the device before attempting to flash the ROM. Otherwise it won't work. I'm not going to go into detail on how to change the recovery image because there are sticky posts galore that have all the relevant info. A good thread to look at is in Streak 5 Android Development, titled "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it".

Hi mate thank you for your kind help,yes I have the stock recovery to flash first.the download contained both recovery and rom image.
I think I am about there with what to do...flash recovery with flashboot then boot to that recovery and install firmware from sd card having changed to update 'what I am still a little perplexed about is the region I think the firmware is 00,what do I need for U.K.
Thankyou again

I get all that but I needed to ask...and folks should not be made to feel bad just because they have asked for help... I had no idea as to what to search for as I have never even seen a dell before,I assumed it would be as other androids get a stock rom and just flash but was hit with so many differant roms...ones for each region etc.l could not find a post that said LATEST STOCK ROM FOR U.K DELL STREAK 5 or anything like it,and it was a hell of a lot more complicated than I imagined so I was stuck and asked for help.Thankfully with the snippets of help I have been given I am more knowledgable now and even capable of flashing the device properly I hope...and if for some reason someone else needs to know the same I will pass on what I have learnt from you guys gladly to help a android user
Once again thank you for your help and infomation

I just got an unlocked UK Dell streak and it was running the 351 firmware so I'm guessing that's the standard one

They are a lot of official roms, take a look here. Custom roms can be found here.

The country you are in and the carrier you are using do not matter when it comes to flashing a Streak ROM. All that matters is whether the region of the recovery matches the region of the ROM you are installing. Thus, for 407, you would need a region 14 recovery as 407 is a region 14 ROM. Unlocked Streaks purchased direct from Dell had their own region, 00. To flash one of those ROMs, e.g. 360, you would need a region 00 recovery.
I hope that clears things up.
I bought my streak from india and it has has rom 357
I want to ask tha can I install any rom on it or first I have to match region code or any thing else....please help
