Go to the wiki for dell streak, download dell streak drivers from dell website, fastboot drivers and exe from wiki.
Now, copy fastboot.exe and recovery.img for Streakmod to c:\ of your pc.
Now flash it using the command given in the Streakmod thread.
ie fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or something like that
I have an.exe that instals it for you as long as your in fastboot.when I am inserting of my laptop tomorrow I will post with instructions.

youtube.com/watch?v=S23rGZVOKrE
But this shows mulitrecovery flasher and stuff like that , also i think its for Custom Roms Help ?!! Should i use this video Or Not ?!!
I have used multirecovery flasher and have had good success with it. Key is to be in Fastboot mode. then run exe program. then select "SR" to install streakmod.

Hi All
Just a quick question i have a dell steak on o2 2.2 . can i just put stock 2.2.2.version 351 straight on or do i have to change baseband as never hacked the streak as my everyday phone ,phone is now unlocked but don't want to brick handset as the streak is greatest ever
With stock ROMs you don't touch the baseband at all. You DO need to replace the Recovery image with the version that matches the ROM you're installing. So, if you want to install 360 (the current Unlocked ROM), you would need to replace your current recovery with the one from 360, then flash 360 from that.
with recovery do i just use streak mod to install & then rename 360 rom to update.pkg
Any tips greatly appriecated
thanks
StreakMod is just a custom recovery. You flash the stock recovery for 360 the same way you would flash StreakMod (using your computer in Fastboot mode), but you only need StreakMod to flash custom roms. For stock roms you need a stock, matching recovery.

I've also have a questions.
Mine is :-
Android version = 2.2.2
Baseband version = GAUSB1A134700-EU
Kernel version = 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM version = GAUSB1A134700
Build number = 15274
Where I can get below stock ROM...? I've google below but no result found.
(Version)_(Build)_(Region).pkg ==> Streak_347_15274_00.pkg
What is the criteria must meet if I want to flash stock ROM...?
Same "build number"? Same "region no"?
Since my version doesn't has a pkg to dload in here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5
Can I dload & flash below latest stock ROM to my streak?
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_360_17397_00.pkg
360 (version) 17397 (build) 00 (region) May 31, 2011 (build date)
The recovery image and the ROM image you want to flash to need to be the same region. In your case, you have an unlocked Streak direct from Dell (region code: 00). If you haven't rooted your Streak, then you don't have to worry about flashing a new recovery. You can download the latest unlocked ROM, which you linked to in your post, and flash it.
Should you have StreakMod Recovery on your Streak however, you'll have to replace that with a region 00 recovery. For example, since you want to go to 360, you'd have to download the 360 recovery first. After downloading the recovery you would replace the recovery using fastboot commands, and then flash the ROM itself.
P.S. 347 only came direct from Dell. No upgrade path to 347 was possible.
ive trie many ways to load a stock recovery file on phone in fastboot .i 've got the phone to fastboot mode ,pc in cmd mode but unable to get it to work .
please help i thought it was easy maybe ive missed something
Did you install Dell's drivers for the Streak onto the PC? If you didn't, do so now because flashing doesn't work without them. Otherwise, download Multirecovery Flasher from the Android Development forum and run it. Do note that MRF does not have the 360 recovery included. You can simply download the 360 recovery from the usual place and copy it over one of the other recovery files included in the MRF zip.
Hi there thanks for the reply
i did think about changing the file but wasnt a 100% sure so wanted advice, everything seems good to go in fastboot mode but cant seem to transfer the recovery file so will try the way you mentioned later .
thanks
Hit the thanks button next to my post if you found it useful, rather than posting your thanks.

Root with superuser.zip.
You will not have to re-install your apps.
Just remember that when you flash streakmod recovery and reboot you must go into the recovery - do not let the phone boot normally. More info here and here.
Put the superuser.zip on your sd card
Flash streakmod recovery
reboot with fastboot reboot
as you Streak reboots hold both volume buttons to go into recovery
select option 2 and install the superuser.zip
reboot
You are now rooted.
just like to say thanks to everyone that has helped me seemed so daunting for the first time since i bricked my last streak & buggered it completely
great feedback from the forum
now have 2.2.2 360 rooted ,very happy

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997581
and then delete or rename system/etc/install-recovery.sh with a file explorer or or via ADB

Hi frozen91,
This is simpler than that. You need to install the PC application Streak_iLikeMyGPhone from link.
With this application first install superboot and install recovery after and we have installed the clorckworkmod recovery.
We can install from update.zip superuser.zip or install a custom rom with the superuser already installed.
I hope you understand me, my english is not very good.
Actually, the rooting process is even more simple than what you posted, which you would have discovered upon reading the "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it" thread.
No one-click rooting tools of any kind are needed and in fact are not recommended. Flash the recovery then immediately boot into the recovery instead of letting the Streak boot normally. From there flash superuser.zip and voilá, you're rooted.

The method that I posted is the unic method wich I rooted and intalled clockworkmod recovery in my device. I tried with diferents methods and I get only with this method.
I could do with other methods in froyo 2.2
Well, Clockworkmod has issues on the Streak. You should be using StreakMod Recovery instead.
I don't run a Linux box, though I am familiar with Linux and have used it in the recent past. However, even with Linux you don't need a one-click rooting tool. Linux binaries for Fastboot and ADB are readily available. A cursory search with Google turned up this page. While it assumes the user is running Debian, the setup should apply to any flavor of Linux.
It doesn't matter which OS you have. No one-click root tools are needed to root a Streak because the rooting process hasn't changed from Froyo to Gingerbread. You still load the recovery first using Fastboot on your computer, immediately boot into the recovery, then load the SU binary.

Could you please break that down for me. Ive read up on every thread on rooting but i cant seem to understand how to rename the recovery file (where to go to rename it) so it wont be overwritten when it reboots.
Thanks.
Recently I tried to flash a custom recovery img. file to my Dell Streak , with Multirecovery Flasher . However , I pressed " any key to go on " for the img. file selected , my pc showed " cannot load c:/ " and then my Dell reboot from fastboot mode but nothing flashed . Can anyone to tell me what step I missed ?. Thanks

in my personal opinion I would not use it. I would send the commands to flash files manually using fastboot. In either case it looks like you haven't properly extracted the files to where you are flashing from
Actually Cdzo I used it quite often, without problems. MRF is nothing more than a batch file that eliminates typing in the fastboot commands one by one. However its big selling point was that it included the recoveries as well as fastboot in the download.
@OP: Do you have spaces in the directory name and is the directory on the root of C: ?

Thank you for your comment .
Nicholas, you never answered my question regarding your setup. Is it on the root of your C: drive and are there any spaces in the folder name? The root of the drive is simply to find it easier, but I believe MRF balks when there are spaces in the folder names.
Actually , I had not have time to try again , simce I have seen your suggestion . However , I will tell you the outcome . Thanks ！
Thank you so much . Since I had seen your suggestion , I have made the Flasher worked and flashed custom rom to my streak 5 today .

Hello,
my friend have a dell streak 5 and he decided to root it... he was orignally on android version 2.2 and then he followed a guide here http://www.modaco.com/topic/316229-19aug-streak-21-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/ and flashed superboot r1 for build 6941 for "2.1". and now its stucked in dell logo...
the phone can still enter into recovery and fastboot mode so if anybody can help to recover back the phone it would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
okay first of all sorry for double post.. a user assisted me and said to flash 360.Now the problem is how do I flash it in fast boot mode???I mean I am a regular samsung user and we have tools like ODIN(for samsung) where we can flash a zip file but I see for Dell streak you get a .pkg file so any thought how I can flash 360 file and get the Dell streak back in action.
PS:This dell streak got semi bricked while rooting so it might not be rooted so please keep the situation in mind and say me is it safe to flash 360 and if it is safe then how to flash it via fast boot mode
If you can enter the fast boot and recovery then update your fone with gb (2.3.3)
New rom makes every thing good and better

You don't flash a ROM via fastboot, but in recovery. If you don't have a recovery installed but can access fastboot you should be able to install a recovery via MultiFlasher (link in my sig). For the 360 ROM you would flash one of the region 00 recovery images. From that point you should be able to install the ROM.
Next time, don't use a one-click method to root. Install a custom recovery, immediately boot into the recovery and flash superuser.

thanks for all your support.. I solved the problem..
I am also writing sets of instruction that how I solved it just in case if some one faces the same problem.
Making note of my problem and the dell steak 5 condition,
*I was able to enter the recovery mode(this recovery is stock recovery).
*Once I entered the recovery I decided to download the stock ROM file (update.pkg).
*MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT BUILD FILE (.pkg) OR ELSE YOU END UP IN A SEMI/FULL BRICK.(well in my case my build was 15609 so I downloaded the 305 version .pkg file and recovery wasn't needed since I already had the stock recovery for the specified build which is already installed on the streak 5).
*I put the file on SD card and renamed it as "update.pkg".
*Flashed the update via stock recovery.It took like around 5 mins since it was the first boot after flashing so be patient.
*TA-DAAAA!!! my friend's Dell Steak 5 was alive and running up on 2.2.2 :good:
I thank to all the people who assisted me in this process.
PS:Special thanks to TheManii
