I got a new streak because my last one was acting up (warranty). The old one was rooted and had BB351. This new one came ATT Locked with BB347. Like a moron, i had the 351 Update.pkg on the sdcard and i tried updating via the new streak (holding down the power button and volumes buttons and selecting #2 update via sdcard).
now, no matter what i do, i get stuck at the logo. Any advice to just getting it back to normal?
you need to flash the 351 recovery img to use with the 351 install pkg, using the latest multirecovery flasher tool is the easiest way to do so, to save writing script. there are posts on how to do so in these forums

meaning can't directly upgrade 347 to 354? or upgrade to 351 first, then do another upgrade to 354? I got the same issue here...

If you are running 347 with stock 347 recovery you can try an OTA upgrade by downloading the 351 .pkg file direct to your phone and then tap on the DL notification in the notification tray. You should be on wifi to do this. You need a stock recovery to install the .pkg files. Checks are made to prevent installation of ROM from a different region. Since 347 and 351 are both 00 roms (retail unlocked) the upgrade from 347 to 351 may work. The advantage of this method is that you don't lose your settings and apps as you do when installing after booting into recovery and installing the package after it has been renamed to update.pkg.
You can't go directly (without using 354's recovery) from 351 to 354 because they are for different regions.

I'm running a At&t Dell Streak build number 6601. I'm using the Streaksmart guide to install 2.1. I'm restoring the phone to the stock O2 1.6 in order to do this. My problem is when I go to flash the Update.pkg to install 1.6 the phone is not finding the package and telling me to go to Dell.com to get an update file. I placed the downloaded zip folder in the DellStreak/uSD_Card directory and renaming it Update.pkg. When I went into Astro File Manager it showed the Update.pkg file. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Never bothered installing it myself but isn't it supposed to be update.pkg not Update.pkg
The guide says to rename it Update.pkg
I just tried with update.pkg and it failed also.
Did you apply the 02 recovery.img?
Btw I was having issues flashing the 02 1.6 as well and just went straight to 2.1 and everything is working fine.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I applied the O2 recovery img I just cant get the phone to read the Update.pkg
How do I just flash the 2.1 rom?
Ok got everything working, instead of flashing to O2 1.6 first I just used the streaksmart guide and flashed 2.1 instead! Awesome!
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
Please help me how to downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2.2.
Please help me.
I am using dell streak 5
You have to be a little clearer... There is no gingerbread for the Streak except for StreakDroid 2.0, if you want to get back to a Froyo build, 2.2, all you have to do is flash StreakDroid 1.9.1 or 1.9.0.
Use the SEARCH and you can easily find out how this is done
I want to go to OFFICIAL 2.2.2 Version.
You can easily download the stock 351 update.pkg and stock recovery from the Dell Streak Wiki. Flash the stock recovery and then boot into recovery. Once in recovery choose option 2 to install the update.pkg which you have downloaded and put in the root of your external SD card. The recovery will see that update.pkg and begin to write it to your phone. You will probably have to do a factory reset to get it to boot
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.
Thanks

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.

Glad you got it sorted. FYI - when you want to thank someone for a useful post click on the thanks button for that post.
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?
Just got brand new Streak 5 from dell.
It came with android 1.6.
I tried updating to 2.2.2 using dell update(website) but failed.
I tried updating straight to 2.3.3 (407 rom)
using different recoverys but failed.
tried original recovery, 350, 360, etc
I even tried installing CM and streakmod but get stock at after update from sd(black screen).
I've been trying and searching for answer for almost 5 hours.
So I'm guessing recovery and pkg file needs to match to update correctly
but can not find match(black screen)
Fastboot works fine on my computer.
Just tried 407 recovery file(region 14) with 407 pkg file and still getting black screen after update from sd

i get the same problem whenever i try to install .pkg. you just download the update.zip file from the below link provided by the manni. install the recovery of update 406 then flash the update.zip you downloaded, it should work.
