[Q] how to update a root streak - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

How to downgrade to official 2.2 from 1.5.3 ?

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
Flash stock recovery then upadte stock 318

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.

[Q] Back to Stock

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.

Ok, I guess you have read the instructions on the 2.0 thread and you do not know how to proceed?
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.

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

[Q] How do I get started unlocking/rooting/installing MIUI on a stock Atrix?

Hi Everyone. I have a stock Atrix running build 4.5.141 with Android 2.3.6. My device has gotten slower lately and I'm interested in trying out the new version of MIUI (I loved it on my Nexus One). This is my first time attempting to root/unlock/flash the Atrix.
1. What is step one of this process? Should I follow the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871?
2. These directions seem thorough but they are for a previous build of the device. Can I still follow these directions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600.
Thanks in advance

First you should root your phone.After you should read this thread…someone unlocked there boot loader on 2.3.6(theres a guide in there as well). Finally install cwm recovery and you'll be set to install miui.
Thanks guys, this went over perfectly.
