Hello,
I am new on xda,
I would like to try gingerbread on my streak 5.
I never installed a custom Rom, I need a step by step installation guide ...
and i have to be sure i can restore the system to its original (current) conditions,

The Gingerbread ROM is not exactly stable, and should truly only be run by those more seasoned with tweaking their Streaks because of the several issues it has...
I would suggest you start out with something more stable like SimpleStreak or my personal favorite StreakDroid 1.9.0 (I had issues with SD 1.9.1). so you get the feel of a custom ROM.
BUT if you are serious about wanting Gingerbread, I STRONGLY suggest you dedicate the hours necessary to read through the ENTIRE thread, make note of it's issues and make note of how to solve them when you run across them, because you will run across them, learn the processes of using the terminal emulator, using fastboot commands, making sure your computer has the correct drivers installed for USB connections and fastboot flashing... you should be proficient in all that BEFORE even trying the stable ROMs because sooner or later you will have to flash something to your Streak

Thanks for the suggestions,
my streak now runs the latest official version 2.2... so i would like to upgrade it to 2.3.
I thought there was any easy and safe way to do so, as the official update...
i will wait for a more stable version and meanwhile i will read the posts and will try to learn something about this topic...
Thanks again!

Man no problem, I just wanted to make sure you didn't jump in there like a lot of people do and then come back having expected your Streak to be as stable as it is now... but as a note, there is no official kernel for Gingerbread for the Streak to my knowledge, and now that Dell has discontinued it there were probably never be. Maybe some superdev out there will be able to port IceCreamSandwich for us... we can be hopeful huh
Good luck with your Streak... and like I said, do LOTS and LOTS of reading, there are 3 or 4 amazing guides that explain how to do EVERYTHING, you just have to read them....
Also there are a couple youtube videos you can look at that show the process. one is custom rom installing and the other is flashing the dsp ..
I can't post live links so cut n paste...
Custom ROM
youtube.com/watch?v=3izgMselF-k&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
and DSP flashing..
youtube.com/watch?v=a5DEsHHNEp0
This will at least show you what is involved.
Its not hard but there are things that can go wrong so best to read around...

I'm sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseam.
I have an HTC Aria of which I have updated to the official 2.2.2.
what I want to do is simply completely erase the phone and instal the latest stable cyanogenmod.
I have followed all the links.

I just don't know where to begin at all. I don't know the terms. clockworkmod, fastboot, recovery, etc etc.
I haven't done anything with the phone at all because I'm too scared I'm going to end up with a brick.
if someone could just lay out the process for me step by step. of going to official 2.2 to cyanogenmod I would appreciate it sooooooooooooooo much.
I'm sorry I've failed at the forums but I just feel so overwhelmed.
thank you.

The last 2 links are the only ones you need to concentrate on. Since you have Froyo update 2.2.2 AlphaRevX is the only option you have to unlock your phone so that you can ultimately install CM 7.
First you need to follow the AlphaRevX thread to gain S-OFF (security off) on your Aria. Just a note, in these 2 threads, you need to remember that an Aria = HTC Liberty.
After you run AlphaRevX, then you will follow the steps that attn1 outlined in the 2nd post to install ClockworkMod recovery which will allow you to ultimately flash CM 7.
sigh. thanks for the help but I still feel like I don't really know what I'm doing.

Well at least you have:
1. Updated your Aria to the latest Froyo 2.2.2 (without bricking it)
2. Found this site and forum.and asked some questions
Depending on your technical level, I would read through those 2 threads. I know several of the posts had step by step instructions. They may be too technical, but it should at least help you narrow down what to google and search for to help you learn and gain some knowledge on how to procede.
I just followed this post:

Might want to replace the launcher with Launcher Pro. It is 2x smoother than the default ADWLauncher.
Other than that, go and have fun with your rooted phone! Just make sure to nandroid backup before you make any drastic changes.
Finally, light at the end of the tunnel. I was beginning to lose hope about my 2.2.2 Aria. Can't wait to get started.
ok so here is my problem. i have been flashing roms on this phone for well over a year and this whoe cm7 thing makes no sense and not to mention everything is very vague.. i need clarification on a few things.
when i click the cm7 official thread and read the dl instructions it jsut says odin to stock and flash basically. Well last night i did that and and emmc doesnt mount or something... i dont know exactly except that i couldnt download all the google apps for failure of memory????/ and if i click music and pictures it doesnt show up but shows up fine when i go into files and play directly from emmc files.
so whats going on with that and did i mess somethign up?
second the cm7 direcrions for install or drastically different tahn than the wiki cm7 full update guide which tells me to be on uvkb5 firmware and instill overstock kernal and then do a bunch of stuff to get cm7 where as the official link here jsut says flash it ?
next if i have to full update guide using uvkb5... well i have got it rooted but its still 3e recovery... and i have yet to find a solid answer on how to get around that...
jsut basically i need clarification... THERE IS WAY TO MUCH UP IN THE AIR WITH THIS CM7...... is it really that damn complex to put on my phone?
u know what actualyl ill jsut update to miui since there is actually a freaking simpicated guide a few posts down
** this needs to be done with cm 7

Do you happen to be talking about my guide (which is a few posts down currently)? If so I'll be glad to help you with any steps on my guide, using the rom, or customizing MIUI to best suit your needs.
Furthermore, MIUI is a great rom and has brought life back into my Vibrant! MIUI is easily customizable, much more then CM7. And there are hundreds of themes for the custom firmware popping up everyday so I'm sure you'll be satisfied.
MIUI IS cm7.
Lol flashing cm7 is easy, just follow the xda thread guide... if your emmc is acting wierd, its probably because you have gb bootloaders whivh are not completely compatible with cm7.. if im right, youll have the same problem with miui... thats the best i can do

I have an old streakdroid ROM atm and it sucks. Crashes all the time. I was looking at the wiki and a **** ton of ROM versions exist.
It seems from what I have read the the newer ROMs and versions of android actually run faster. Is this true?
What is the best ROM out now and what should I be concerned with? Will my device get banned from the Google Market? (Who cares I can update/install apps manually)
It has been a while since I have flashed. I downloaded the newest rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355878 but I do not see an update.pkg to update.
I know I should do a factory reset before reflashing but I have also heard that flashing from old versions causes problems.
Right now I am running 2.2.2 Android with the 2.6.32.9 DJ_Steve Kernel.
StreakDroid5 v1.9.4
I can put in the work but it seems some things have changed and I just want some direction before I spend the next week reading thread after thread to catch up to what is going on.
What ROM should I use with what mods?

You still have ALOT of reading to do, come back in a several days...
Most of us now are running a gingerbread variant but it has it bugs obviously so I'm begging with to not flash any of these until you have done a lot of reading so you won't be posting senseless threads on your problems... each ROM has it's issues very clearly in it's own threads by the devs so don't create a new thread with an old problem... I can't tell you which is the best because they are all pretty good, the best is up to you
I suggest [ROM] [INTL] [WIP] DSC v0.73
This is probably the best ROM out now. But you no longer update via an update.pkg - its been awhile You will need to install streakmod via fastboot then boot into streakmod to select your dsc.zip update. There are lots of details on how to do this on the DELL STREAK forum.
I wouldn't go with the just out cyogenmod ports - they are bugging and still a major work in progress.
Course this is my opinion but I have installed them all ...many times

No ROM for ICS, nor is there likely to be one unless the drivers are reverse engineered.

Its been made.very clear you have to do an extensive wipe to flash either the CM7 or MIUI ROMs on the Streak. The fact you are bootlooping or stuck at Dell logo proves you probably didn't do that OR worst case scenario you may have to reformat your entire inner SD as we have no idea what you did before going to Gingerbread.
So factory reset from BOTH recoveries (Dell recovery and Streakmod) and flash again.
I can't believe I just wrote that when its in countless posts... I must be in a good mood today

If you believe GingerStreak is good, then you want to try DSC or CM7. GingerStreak hasn't been updated in over a year now and was based on beta code for Gingerbread. DSC and CM7 are far more current, far more stable, and have few (if any) showstopper bugs.
honestly, i would recommend to try dsc 1.0 first and when you have familiarized yourself with it, goes for dsc 1.1
ICS is now being developed for the streak. I have been using the pre-alpha build and for me it is now good for use as an everyday rom.
Im not saying its 100% bug free yet but ive been using it for 3 days now and i can live with the issues it currently has now.
After todays update flash is now working and for me that was the only undesirable, with it now fixed I wont be turning back.
The rom is being updated at a good pace and I dont think the beta is too far away.
Hello guys,i am a complete novice to dell and have a dell streak 5 that is running android version
2.2.2
base band version GAUSB1A135100-EU.
kernel version
2.6.32.9-dj_steve-BFS-CFQ-KGSL2D-Vol-OC
oem version
190
build number
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.

Hi and thanks for taking time to reply,I am going to go back to stock to keep it as simple as possible to move device on,if its running stock there can be no hassles for new owner,i have the dell stock gingerbread update.
I will do a factory reset prior to flash and then put update on root of sd then boot to recovery and install IS THAT CORRECT?

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...

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.

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

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

what I am still a little perplexed about is the region I think the firmware is 00, what do I need for U.K.

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.
