You may as well read a lot more, unless what you really want is rotting your Streak You haven't seen anything about the Rogers version, because there is nothing specific about the Rogers version or the AT&T version or the Olleh version, that would require specific instructions on flashing a custom recovery & rom or rooting. But don't take my word for it, here is the xda wiki for the streak 5 , something that i think should be stickied in all Streak Forums.

I see the streaks that carephone wharehouse over in France and Germany have build 6267 and that was the Build that the TMOBILE 3g Beta USA streaks had
Hmm.
Bought a Streak yesterday in Berlin. Best device I´ve had.
6267
No way to root on the comitted way (no link allowed... google Superboot). Coming from HTC Hero with Villain 2.1/2.2 (sry).
The impossibility of restoring with Titanium is a litte bit _zum Schreien_
Somebody any ideas, links, soulutions? 6hrs google wasn´t helpful.
[edit] rooting solved. F* drivers. Next step: 2.1/2.2 ideas welcome[/edit]
thx LEM2k
you've managed to root on the 6267 version? how?
yes; how did you do that?

Looking 4 the link, moment, please.
so you did it with superboot?
Got my Streak today.
Build 6267 unlocked German version.
OEM: 00-EU
Congrats on your streak purchase. I have the same version and can switch between at&t/tmobile, here in the US.
Can we dump the FW for the others? I think this would be nice. And how about OTA updates? Will we get them first?
Strange, that any cooker are here yet. The Streak is a greate device.

If you dump boot and system partition I can piece an update.zip together.
Hello all, I bought the same device with the same build in France and there wasn't any problem of rooting it with Universalandroot ^^... I just open a french website about this device .

Hey Onmipresent,
I just bought a T-Mobile engineering version, will get it tomorrow, how can I update to 2.1 without rooting? Can I just copy the update to the sd card and launch in bootloader? Is this safe to do? I'm new at mods, just looking for some help.. much appreciated.

Hi!
I'm looking to buy a Dell Streak from T-mobile in my country..
Is it possible to root this device? Or update to 2.1 O2??
I've read all about rooting here, but it only mentions O2 and US Streaks, no T-mobile ones!!
I don't want to buy a new device and not be able to update!!
I'm addicted to flashing with my HTC HD
Thanx
Yes, you should have no problem rooting and updating to the o2 2.1 update.
Thanx for the reply
I'm getting my streak on monday!!
Can't wait!
Now that the Unlocked Dell Streaks are out there on the market, has anyone been successful in moving from the AT&T 1.6 software to the Official US Dell Unlocked 2.2 software?
As a second question, can someone with an official US Dell Unlocked Streak provide their Baseband to us? I've not seen it in any other forums.
I'm hesitant in going to DJ Steve's software, but I'd love to move to the official 2.2 update for the US Unlocked Devices.
I've already SIM unlocked my Streak from AT&T, now I'd like to turn it into an official (or as close to official) Unlocked US Dell Streak (Not the EU Baseband 00 version)
I agree. I tried many times to use DJ Steve's 2.2; but have had no luck installing it on my Unlocked AT&T Dell Streak.
I have an ATT Streak which was unlocked by ATT, and after rooting it I had no problems with the DJ rom! It went on without issue and works great!
I would love to get a copy of the unlocked US Dell update to 2.2 to try tho......
Post it if ya got it.......LOL
Later.................

Hi there, I am a new poster and a new streak owner. I have lurked here for a while and I find the information to be amazing!
I have one quick question, that may not have a quick answer. Any help would be appreciated and thanks to all in advance.
I purchased a locked Dell Streak. My carrier is Rogers (Canada). The phone was purchased new from a Rogers store.
If I unlock the phone using an unlock code can I then update to Android 2.2 without having to go through all the other steps i.e, flashing, custom roms, etc?
Thanks again
Unlocking by getting a code from the carrier will not allow you to upgrade to froyo any quicker as your baseband will still be the carrier locked version. You need to use qdl tool to get 2.2. that installs froyo and changes your baseband. Streakdroid.com for info on using qdl tool.
Dell Streak powered by StreakDroid 1.7.0
Thanks very much for the help, I appreciate it. Are there official dell 2.2 files available?
Hi Sturgeon
I also have a Streak from Rogers which I had unlocked, and currently using with Telus.
I also am eagerly awaiting the official upgrade. Rumours is the upgrade won't come until March. You won't Froyo any quicker unless you do what many on this forum, use a home brew solution.

Thanks so much for the input, I am very scared to do the DIY method....I see so much info but not even sure where to start!
Hi guys, hopefully you guys can help me.
I have rooted my Atrix and put the Firmware toi Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATTen.us
I would like to go back to Bell because they have the newest Gingerbread out, would you please send me to a tutorial on how to do this with the bell files linked?
Thanks
what bell GB are you talking about? as for how to get your device back to bell there are a number of threads that detail this. do a search in the general section.

First of all, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408 is the answer to your question. You should not be lusting to get back to the OTA as there is a risk of hard bricking your atrix.
If you still want to go back to the Bell Gingerbread update, you should try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195922. I have tried it and it works.
Also, there is another way of getting back to the Bell Gingerbread update, try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175990&highlight=bell+atrix.
I have tried getting Bell GB with both above mentioned methods and they work, as long as you follow the instructions.
Good Luck
Cheers
