Seen alot of blogs explaining how to update the android of Dell streak phones from AT&T and O2 but none for the Rogers with build number 7921.
Well i spent some time when i got my new phone to find out how to do it and to my surprise it was hard to find how to but easy to actually do it.
Only to follow 2 different site tutorials to get this done.
1. Follow the last part of the tutorial to get your streak to version 6601 ATT&T
after this phrase "If you just wanted to revert to O2 1.6 (build 4399) then you are done. If you are going to AT&T 1.6 (build 6601) we have to change the system so it will upgrade the the AT&T ROM."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
once you got your streak to 1.6 ATT&T build 6601 you must follow a simple tutorial with interactive video and even has a video so you can make it work with your win7 X64 witch alot of tutorials don't help with.
2. Follow this part to the letter and if you have trouble they have a FAQ section and even supply all the files you need.
QDLTool Visual Tutorials (for Windows only)
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
In this second part all you have to do in general is set up all your needed drivers and stuff in windows then open the program and press RUN. Just make sure you do all the steps without missing one.
No need to go through the fastboot or recovery menu in this part.
And it gives you Full US version of android 2.2 from a locked version of Rogers android 1.6.
Hope this will help my fellow Canadian Streakers
Thanks for Taking time to do this for fellow streakers

No problem. It's my first one ever so i hope i passed to hole point and helped some (dell irritated) people.
Actually, all you need is the 2nd step - QDLTool doesn't require any specific version installed on the phone.
Glad you like the visual tutorials .. let me know if theres anything I can do to improve them.

The only problem i have now is i can't seem to change or hear the notification when i go into the menu to see them.
Also i heard the gps doesn't work on some models but i haven't inserted the sim card because i'm waiting for the rebel to come in the mail but without the sim card the gps doesn't work for me.
The notifications setting and brightness are fixed in steves newest rom

ok i see i can upgrade to steve's 1.5.3 only thing is do i use the one with AMSS or the V2.1 baseband
I'm unlocking it with a Rebel simcard
In the guid (Beyond QDLTool) it says to use 1.5.3 + AMSS 1.5.1+. But i have read here and there that if your using the rebel simcard you have to use the No baseband one. So do i use the 1.5.3 no baseband and use the AMSS 1.5.1+ and follow all in the guide or do i juste use the 1.5.3 no baseband and skip the AMSS 1.5.1+ in the guide?

im not 100% but i think you just need to flash the no baseband version thats it , you could ask that in the thread for that rom just to be certain
Hey...I have the rogers streak and was wondering if I update to dj steve's custom rom will i run into issues when the actual Rogers 2.2 comes out? Will I be able to put the stock version back on? I am a bit worried for warranty purposes as well...can it be brought back to stock or is it a one way ticket? Reason I ask is I also have several phones including a Rogers Acer liquid e and unfortunetly can't go back to the stock version of froyo because of some thing Acer and Rogers did in the update that recognizes the fact my phone was rooted and not running a rogers baseband or something like that...I just sold my Galaxy s because I was sick of dealing with Samsung and their issues....So from what I can tell Rogers is only releasing the froyo update in late spring and 3-4 months is crazy considering most of the other countries already have froyo on their streaks...Man Rogers is so bad for their updates...Anyways...can i temporarily update to the leaked versions or should I wait? Thanks

you are correct. if you want to use the rebelsim, you HAVE TO use the no baseband version. 1.5.3 is the latest version
thanks for the great guide, I just got mine today and its already running 2.2 on 318 baseband
its true that u can qdl from any version though so I went straight from 1.6 to 2.2 prerelease then to 318 using the link in the streakdroid guide for beyond qdl

Thanks to the OP, I updated my Rogers Streak from stock 1.6 to 2.2 to StreakDroid 1.6 yesterday!
Despite my reservations, it couldn't have been easier. I used the QDLTool to jump from 1.6 to 2.2 directly, and I then followed the additional instructions on the StreakDroid site to flash the rom. The hardest part was installing ClockworkMod Recovery prior to all that to do a rom backup. For some reason it took many tries to get it to hold, but eventually it worked.
Unfortunately I may be in the minority but I dislike the new homescreen layout. I still haven't found a way to get icons and widgets to stay close together like they did in the stock 1.6 version.
Hi guys,
I guess i have bricked the device while updating to 2.2.
As far as i know i have done nothing wrong i followed the Guide step by Step and Downgrade to AT&T firmware as the first guide in this post.
While i was running QLDtool it errored out and Turned off by itself. After since i have tried everything and the Device just Doesn't have power anymore. Pluging into wall socket is not giving anything either.
Any thoughts on this?? Any Help will be appreciated.

from what i understand, you need a launcher that can let you edit the number or rows and columns on each homescreen, im currently using launcher pro and have 8 columns and 6 rows in landscape. hope this helps as im a new user too so not sure if this is what you meant

You're exactly right. I spent an hour reinstalling StreakDroid 1.6.0 with different DPI settings before giving up in frustration, but I found the settings menu for ADW the next day. I used a 6 x 6 grid and disabled automatic stretching, and that way my picture frames look perfect.
Great work on the rom guys! My Streak feels much more smooth and responsive than under stock 1.6.
Andy you shouldn't have a problem as long as you get a copy of the Update.pig you should be able to revert back.

Also check your density on the 1.6 streakdroid install. when i used us120 or denisty120- -160 they were to far apart. i also found that US180 didn't work the phone wouldn't boot. i had to use density180 vs us180 and everything is perfect. right amount of space. i installed just gingerbread stock launcher and im using the adw ex launcher its the best in my eyes.

Thanks...I still may wait though...I rooted my Acer liquid e and also just picked up a Samsung Captivate to play with and use as a back up..streak is so big...lol..nice to have a phone that fits in your pocket..... and since selling my GTi9000 i kind of missed it.....I love the streak and really don't want to void the warranty or better yet brick either...I am going to treat my captivate to the lagfix for now and maybe try gingerbread on my Liquid e...Been doing some reading and they are almost there...Still a few bugs however should not be long before they are worked out...As you probably noticed i love phones and have had like 30 phones in the last year...lol...Streak is my favorite so far...Have not touched my laptop much since i got it..Any news on when Rogers will come out with the official version of froyo? I read someone that April is the soonest? Anyone here anything else? I hope they come out with the update shortly ...otherwise I may be forced to root it...Any news would be appreciated..Cheers

Pull the battery out and put it back in.
If the streak looses power, it will be stuck in a power off state and plugging in the cord will do nothing.
After you reseated the battery, you should be able to charge the device again.
After it is charged, follow from where you left off.
Hey all I am currently running
Code:
Dell streak
Ver: 2.2
Build Nuber: StreakDroid 1.8.1
Baseband Ver: GAUSB1A131800-EU
Kernel Ver: 2.6.32.9-DJ_Steve-BFS-CFQ-KGSL2D-Vol-OC
Live in Australia and got my phone from Optus... absolutley loving Dj_Steve's builds but have developed a mass amount of dead pixels on the screen, am able to ship it back for warranty but want to flash back to stock first, if anyone could point me in the right direction of what to do (yes ive searched etc. first) would be much appreciated.
I'm not a complete n00b but a step by step would be handy
Thanks in advance!
look at the forums on modaco. There is a post about upgrading and downgrading the streak that tells you how to get back to stock.
Basically just get the stock recovery flashed then flash update.zip based on that version of the Stock recovery.

There is no stock version of Gingerbread for the Streak, only a custom rom. Do you want to install the custom ROM?

Put your question in that thread and you will get more help more quickly.
Not trying to be a bone head. Just pointing you in the direction that will help you most effectively.

i have a dell streak 5 and when i got it was already rooted with super used and dj steves 2.6.32.9 and android verison 2.2 foyo, is there a way to update any of these, or a different root setup
If you wont last official rom (407) whit 2.3.3 see this tread:

Look how to:

The info in the "Complete Guide" (second link in the preceding message) is very dated. You should read it for the fastboot info though.
I recommend Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM, the flashing guide at the XDA wiki by TheManii, and Everything you wanted to know about the streak, but were too busy bricking it, also by TheManii.
My take on Streak modding is here.
hello....if anybody watching this, then please help me upgrading my streak to GB 2.3.3
Actually I am having STOCK FROYO 2.2.2 (rom 355) installed.
how should I upgrade it?
as I have read it on many forums that I have to flash recovery 350, do I really need to because I am already on 355?
and please provide a solution so I don't get any blinking lights bug after upgrading :silly:
HELP PLEASE
Search for threads titled "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it" and start reading the information at the links that turn up.
If you want to upgrade to Gingerbread, install one of the custom ROMs such as mine rather than go with the 407 ROM. The two DSC ROMs available have had many improvements made that won't be found in the 407 ROM. You will also need to root the Streak and install a custom recovery to do so.

i have read it.......n what I want is to just install a clean stock rom. I really don't want to root my phone or to install a custom rom..........that why I posted this.....if any 1 like you could help to install 407 pkg with no blinking issue and a clear guidence.
Help if you can....
Using baseband 355 retail rom.....
I do understand not wanting a rooted device, as not everyone needs the level of control and customization that is possible with a rooted device. However, there are simply too many issues with the stock ROM to in good conscience recommend using it. As noted, the two DSC ROMs available here fix a lot of issues that are still present in the stock ROM. One notable thing about the DSC ROMs is the Phoenix kernel they include does not perform the baseband check, thus you will never encounter blinking LEDs.
If however you insist upon installing the stock ROM anyway, you'll need to download the 407 baseband files, 407 recovery, and 407 ROM package. You'll have to use ADB to push the baseband files and recovery to the Streak. From there, you copy the ROM to the MicroSD card, boot into the recovery, and install the ROM package. Detailed instructions are readily available in the various flashing guides in the forums. The one thing you'll need to look for is the dev-host links, as that is where you will find the ROMs.
Yes yes.....i have the rom as well the recovery but not the baseband.
Thanks alot
I will check if I can find the baseband files.
By the way Do I need to root to push the baseband through ADB?
