In the dell streak guide I've read that to downgrade the streak I have to flash amss and dsp1 of the pig that I want, then install the related stock Tom, than the custom one.
In the SD1.9.1 post djsteve says his Tom is based on 351 and some others. The thing I would like to know is: which version of amss, dsp1 and pkg I've to flash before installing the SD 1.9.1?
this post can be closed, because reading better the wiki section i've found the answer.

Despite all the excellent work by Steve & the other boffins here in this forum, I continued to experience instability (a few random resets & freezes daily) on 1.5.x
I guess stability is more important than flexibility for me atm, so I'm thinking to install the official Dell 2.2 as I hope it will put an end to my woes.
Grateful if somebody could please advise me the procedure to go about the downgrade and where to find the official 2.2 package I will need. Do I have to downgrade my BB too? If so to what version?
(I originally went from stock O2 1.6 to 2.1 then to 1.5.1)
Thanks for your input.
Current status: O2 unlocked Streak running DJ_Steves V 1.5.3, baseband GAUSB1A131800-EU

Just to ensure I understand correctly, borijess, you saying I should flash this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
.....which will then enable me to go straight from where I am now to 318 ?
Edit: Nevermind, after some intense googling I found a step-by-step guide of exactly what I'm after right here: http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=8285.
Thanks again borijess for having pointed me in the right direction - I wouldn't have known what to search for.

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.

Start reading here, here and here
Basically you need the Dell drivers, the Dell PC Suite, find the fastboot driver pack. Become familiar with using fastboot, which is easy anyway, then download the rom you want to flash and its recovery package using the wiki link, flash and factory reset and your all sorted.
On a sidenote, Stage UI is not that good, not compared to other homescreen/launchers out there, check out ADW Launcher and ADW Launcher EX for example, they are much nicer. There is also StreakDroid 1.9.1 and SimpleStreak 1.2 roms which are very nice releases, these are rooted and allow overclocking, depending on what kernel you use for SimpleStreak.
Good luck

If you wont last official rom (407) whit 2.3.3 see this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402538
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?
