Hi Guys,
Am currently on stock 407, but in settings>>About Phone, it shows that my Kernel version was some version of "perf" (couldn't recall exact string).
I was using several flavors of custom ROM before flashing stock 407. I then flashed Gkernel1.5.
I was wondering if there was any way to flash stock kernel? I tried flashing stock 407 again, but the kernel remains as Gkernel1.5. :\
On a sidenote, which would be the best Kernel for GB?
Help?

Thanks for responding. It'll be helpful if you can direct me to any helpful threads.
Before posting this, I've gone through most of the threads in the 5 subsections for Dell Streak 5.
Have also searched for kernels but the only ones that come up are the custom kernels:
Gkernel (both 1.5 and the X versions), DJ Steve's as well as the Phoenix being used by DSC0.66b. Nothing about the stock kernel.
The reason I asked is I did flash stock ROM but the kernel + amss + dsp1 did not change. It remained as whatever it was before I flashed. Had to manually flash the 407 amss and dsp1 files. Only thing missing to have a completely stock GB Streak is the kernel, and I can't seem to get it by flashing the stock ROM again (i tried).
Or maybe I'm not providing enough information for you to help me? Any help is much appreciated. Just need to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Are you flashing through StreakMod using a zip or are you using the stock recovery and flashing factory update.pkg.... If you are flashing factory packages then it should flash EVERYTHING, and you may need to do it several times for it to "take" the flash fully

hi, so im actually planning on buying a motorola Atrix me860 here in Taiwan..
after a LOT of reading in these forums, im still not that confident in the steps that i have to go through in order to get a functional unlocked, rooted, custom rom'ed GB Atrix.. so here is what i have learned from my "research"
1. first, i have to unlock the BL by installing IHOP via fastboot (im guessing this is regardless of what stock intl firmware or if it is froyo or gb)
2. after that, i root my device by fastboot using the method in the 2nd post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
3. then, this is where i get a bit lost, in order to fix the ram issue found in unlocked international users, i need to flash the rom 2.3.4 OrangeFR system image, 2.3.4 OrangeFRwebtop image, and the corresponding tegrapart boot image
now, what if i want to install a different custom rom, like the cherry pie or alien, along with faux's kernel, do i just flash them over the Orange FR via CWM, and if so, do i still retain the ram fix? or does it only work with the OrangFR rom?
help will be greatly appreciated

You can install any kernel you want. Check out Faux's thread, he has stock kernels and unified overclocked ones for which you don't need to worry about tegrapart.

oh.. okay..
so do i still need flash the rom 2.3.4 OrangeFR system image, 2.3.4 OrangeFRwebtop image, and the corresponding tegrapart boot image?
or do i just go directly to flashing alien/cherry rom and then faux kernel (which you say will also fix the ram issue)?
Nope you have to flash the faux's kernel first and then you can install quite any rom you want like cherry or alien.
Flashing to the kernel will make it international ect... not the rom (correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think so) so you have to flash the kernel first.
ooohhh, okay okay, i think that's right, thank you
sooo, i have to flash the orange fr stuff, then faux's kernel, then any intl custom rom?
which app did u root with me860. im on HK version
I tried the dsc kernels but my streak 5 was stuck at the red Olleh logo. Haven't tried the other gxkernel yet.
What I did was flash the kernel zip in recovery and wiped the cache. Am I doing it wrong?

Is this STOCK 407?
I flashed the STOCK 407 last night and would love to know if there are any custom kernels for it also and perhaps a more updated RADIO. I feel like I dont get as much reception after I flashed 407
The Streak is not like other android devices, you can't flash one of the custom kernels (boot.img) files without complementing it with the corresponding ROM or checking compatibility with a ROM.
So if you want a custom kernel you have to go with a custom ROM, which at the moment I would suggest DSC ROM or the newly releases to us from Korea, Cyanogen ROM. With EITHER case PLEASE read through the threads so you won't be back whining about issues that are clearly solved in the thread
wow, just wow! such sucky attitude in xda lately, no wonder people are leaving in droves. "Don't come back whining???" Really? WTF? I asked a legitimate question: are any custom kernels compatible with stock 407 Olleh ROM? Am I doing something wrong when I install custom kernel? I have read on the 407 Olleh rom thread that some people were having success installing dsc kernels, but I wasn't. So, I thought I would ask on the Q&A forum. Man, f*ck this sh*t.
So I've never flashed this device before, and I got it today but I'd like a custom ROM flashed to it.
Could someone point me to the following:
-A working ODIN link for this device
-A custom ROM (GB) that has all working features (camera, etc) and is built for the INTL 5.0 version (I've been looking at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144)
-A guide for getting CWM recovery.
Cheers.
This thread has all the info you are looking for.

I personally have used the Eryigit rom you linked and it works fine.
Have fun.
I would stay away from Cyanogen and its variations right now if you want everything to work. CM7 has issues with wifi (and other stuff) and CM9 has no HW Acceleration -kernel issues.
Pretty much any rom based on stock is a safe bet.

Check in the custom kernel section and download the kernel according to your device.
Look in the thread cvcduty posted in the custom kernel section. The kernels have CWM packaged with them. You'll need Odin to flash them. If you search the forums you'll probably find a link for Odin... or google it
Make sure you use the rigth kernel for your specific device. The 5" and 4" are different and there are two versions of the 5". Not sure if there is more than one version of the 4" or not.

Thanks mate, that's what I wasn't sure about. If I happen to flash the wrong kernel I can overwrite it with the correct one as usual, correct? and it's Odin3 v1.3 I need, isn't it?
All sounds right to me. Even with a bad kernel you'll have download mode to fall back on.

Thanks, just flashed it and got a boot loop.
Edit: Could be because I flashed a GB kernel while still on froyo, I best revert to stock kernel and do a KIES update first
Edit2: Tried to go stock but still a boot loop -_-
This has gone, extremely well...
/sarcasm
I just downloaded Odin 1.3 and flashed Entrophy's DD as we discussed. No issues on my device - as i anticipated because this is how I did mine initially. Which model do you have? Another question, did you try to boot into CWM after you flashed the kernel (VolUp + Power). If you can get into CWM then your good to flash whatever ROM you want, even if the Stock ROM is boot-looping.

I just installed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579774
It's a rooted stock GB ROM with a custom kernel. Supports both USA and International devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
Check out this thread again. It has most of the ROMs listed as "Stock Based" or "CM Based". I'm running GB.XXKPH.WT-0.4.0 for Galaxy Player 5.0 Intl & US and it seems to be a good one. Several people like Eryigit-GB-2.3.
On another note, I'm actually trying to continue ambrice's development on CM7 but can't get my build to boot.
Hi, I successfully flashed my T-mobile Vibrant about twelve months ago to a custom 2.2 Froyo rom (Trigger 3.2 Final). It's a great rom and EVERYTHING works. However lately I've read rave things said about newer roms such as ICS passion. It's been a while and I'm still a noobie at this so my question is:
What is the easiest way to get to ICS passion from my current custom Froyo rom ? Thanks ~ Chris
hi,
Its very easy to get ICS running on your vibe. There may be various ways to proceed. I ll give you what I did (AFTER failing for 5-6 times )
Odin back to stock (It may be not necessary. But I started from the beginning which is better AFAIK )
Then stored ICS ROM (ICZen which in my case) and update.zip (CWM) on internal SD
then flashed GB Bootloaders (It also may/ may not necessary. But I did it b/c I already had many failed attempts)
Then flashed CM7 first
After that flashed ICS on top of it
Worked at last for me
NOTE: Please read relevant instructions provided by ROMs b/c flashing one may differ from flashing another.
You can find more information if you run into problems in my thread [SOLVED]Cannot install ICS ROM--please HELP

You may just want to read this before flashing ICS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580902

^^^ Truth
And I would suggest staying away from Passion. It is based on 4.0.3 and there was a pretty significant code upgread when ICS went to 4.0.4.
IIRC, Passion is the last ROM that still uses 4.0.3 and is probably why it is dead now (but for some reason lives in infamy on YouTube and Google Search).
Haarsh's way works just fine but here is another method as another option too.
Thanks
Thanks for the replies. This is why I subscribed to the forum.
mmm... I see a few pitfalls ahead.
Background info from me is that I can't use Odin on my Linux computer. Never really got into Heimdall. I flashed my first rom by downloading the rom zip file and put it on my phone's internal sd card then let clockwork do the rest, ie nandroid backup and flash the rom from the update zip. I'd like to do the same again.
Ok, it's my understanding that anything above 2.2 needs the GB bootloader so the first step is to install that over my Trigger rom. I think Trigger would still run with the GB bootloader at that stage. Next download an update zip of a rom of my choice, put it on my phone's sd, then flash it with Clockwork.
Seems to me that should work or am I missing something I wonder ?
You can flash the GB bootloader. Its backward compatible so it will work with any ROM currently available.
Download the .zip of the ROM you want, and any Gapps if applicable. Then just follow the instructions on page 1 of the ROM (OP).
The usual would be Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Clear Cache, Clear Dalvik. Flash ROM, flash Gapps, restart. The instructions will tell you all you need to know.
If something goes wrong, give us a shout. That's what we're here for.

Hi,
Can someone help point me to a valid mirror for 2.2.2 basebands?
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573948 is useful but the links are dead and its not in wiki either.
My current baseband GAUSB1A134700-EU needs to change to something higher eg. GAUSB1A136000.
Thanks very much.
use tool in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12231991 its simple & easy you can flash any baseband (included) you want.

Thanks. I found this tool too... the multibaseband flasher does only the amss part but not the dsp1.
So I used the multiflasher which does both ... great. However it's limited to certain roms only eg. 345, 351, 353, 354, 366 and 406.
The 351 works for me ... thats great for a step. :good:
It'd be nice if someone can share the 360 baseband files ... anyone?
Can you please tell me why you need to flash 360 baseband ?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2
351 seriously lags and 360 seems to be the latest retail rom according to wiki, so that's why I wanted it hopefully it will be better. If all else fails, I could go to simple streak custom rom.

The reason it's limited to certain ROMs is those ROMs were the only ones at the time that had their baseband files readily available. Also, I hope you went all the way to the end of the thread, since I went and combined both of UKSheep's tools into one new tool: Multiflasher. The baseband function was tested on my Streak and it pushed both amss and dsp files correctly.
The best Froyo baseband to use would be 366, rather than 360.
My streak is originally under retail region rom (00) so the highest possible rom is 360 according to wiki (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5). I've read few times in xda that I can't change roms to different region. Furthermore, if using custom roms eg. CM7, does it matter which baseband I'm using cos it gets overwritten anyway, correct?

Yes, I got the multiflasher from end of the thread. Baseband 366 is different region (12) from my current region (00) ie. will have issues. I was just hoping that someone/ somewhere has active links similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573948

Ahh, I thought you were using a custom ROM, not stock. So why haven't you switched to a custom ROM like DSC, which is the custom ROM that is closest to stock, being based off the 407 ROM from Dell.
Switching ROMs from one region to another can be done with ease. Just make sure the region of the recovery matches the region of the ROM.
I wanted stock 'cos sooner or later, I'd have to sell this or pass it on to someone and it had to be stock condition, in case they have problems or didn't know how to fix.
As for custom roms, I noticed most threads have dead links already and didn't want to go there (more Q&A), I only have simple streak custom rom with me at the moment.
As for switching region ROMS, I thought it had to do with matching existing baseband with recovery/rom, not sure. Will probably backup and give it a try but again the latest Gingerbread ROM in multiflash is 406 ... anyone got baseband for 407?

If you're installing 407 you don't need to install the baseband beforehand. The 407 ROM package will install the 407 baseband at the same time as the ROM itself is installed.
Custom ROMs require flashing a matching baseband if the kernel isn't modified to ignore baseband mismatches.
Hmmm... I didn't see the stock roms installing the basebands before this eg 451 and 460, that's why I raised this thread to begin with and now using MULTIFLASH to do so.

Unlikely, unless installing one of the stock deodexed ROMs or a custom ROM. Standard operating behavior for all stock ROMs from Dell is to install all the components (recovery, baseband, system). The baseband MUST match the ROM, just as the region of the ROM must match the region of the recovery. If the stock ROMs were to omit installing the baseband you would constantly encounter baseband mismatches.
My Streak is an unlocked (region 00) model. Brand new it came with 347 on it. I posted a picture of the about page, and the baseband for that unit was GAUSB1A134700-US. When I upgraded to 351 and 360 the baseband changed both times to GAUSB1A135100 and GAUSB1A136000. When I started using custom ROMs was when I had to install the baseband files separately. In my case, I flashed the 406 baseband (GAUSB1A140614) instead of 407 (GAUSB1A1406214) to install the DSC ROM.
Stock deodexed ROMs and custom ROMs are not in Dell's package format and do not have the baseband files included within them. Thus it's necessary to flash the baseband separately. That is what the baseband portion of MultiFlasher is for. The only other reason to use MultiFlasher is to install a new recovery, either one of the two custom recoveries we have available (StreakMod or ClockworkMod) or to flash a stock recovery so as to flash a stock ROM.
My basebands don't get updated when using stock rom and recovery files downloaded from wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5 . That's why this thread was raised. If you try one from there and works, then there's something wrong with my streak.
Considering that I downloaded both 351 and 360 from there, you have a problem with your Streak. Especially as the Dell Streak Flashing Guide on the wiki has this little gem about updating the baseband.
Updating baseband
(Recommended: Create a nandroid before starting)
Install Matching Stock rom
