As the subject says,
Few months back i went to the only dell service in My city (Ludhiana) which now is now closed. to get my venue recovered, she left the package 2.2.2 in my device. I have uploaded it on below link.

thanks a lot dude...many ppl will find it very useful to use this to flash their roms back to stock froyo if they brick their fone...very helpful
Could someone remirror that somewhere you dont have to register to download?
I cant put a copy up (or even determine what pkg it is exactly) if I cant download it in the first place.

first of all y u want to downgrade to stock froyo?
That's just the 406 pkg, which is a GB rom. Are you sure that it's a 2.2.x pkg?
I've checked it's hash and it's identical, it's pretty much impossible for it to be a coincidence that it's identical.

In the repairtool tutorial it says to hold the volume up button ( button closest to the headphone jack). The volume up button on my Streak is the button beside it to the right. Is my phone backwards or something? Am I just not reading it properly?
Its the one closest to the headphone jack. Technically backwards until you flash 2.2. Then it'll be correct.

Thanks. I'm a real noob at this. Now that I have been able to complete clockwork recovery I think I'm ready to try to do this. Still reading to try and find out which method I have to use now.
I agree wit you
i posted this in another thread, there really isnt any thinking involved when deciding which method to use i believe. qdl is by far the easiest method, heres the info you will need
rptw said:
i found that THIS thread helped me with what i needed to install on my computer to be able to update
then i used the main tutorial HERE to get to a prerelease version of froyo
from there you can use the "next steps" guide in the above link to get you to either an official release of 2.2 or to dj_steves froyo 1.6.1 which u can find in the development thread
happy modding

None of the tutorials shows rogers 7921 to anything.i found one post showing that I can go to 309 recovery and then direct to 318 update rom.i have gotten as far as trying to install the update rom from my sd card but the screen just stays blank.i don't know how long I am suppose to leave it to install or what it should look like when it is installing.

Thanks, I gave it another try. I was having issues with the ADB driver to get the QDL to work. My other steps before got the right driver installed and the QDL worked this time. i'm on 2.2 Baseband 00-US Build 10688. Might try Stevies later but right now I just want to check this out.
you should go beyond the qdl version of froyo because that is pre-release version from what i understand. if you want stock froyo, go to http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg and download and install that. thats the rom that unlocked streaks have gotten from dell

Thanks again. I updated to the official rom for now. I had to to get my Slingplayer app back. I'll have to research that if I'm going to go to Steves version.
Have looked everywhere and cant find it ...also is it for US phones ?
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_322_12947_11.pkg
322 is intended for Hong Kong streaks, but they're sold unlocked and unbranded so it should work fine. You'll need the approporate recovery.img for this (which I dont have)
(If you do decide to install 322, could you give me a copy of the pkg.dec file it creates during the install process? I'd be REALLY grateful)
Anything cool comes along with this rom?

So, its mid July ...I'm sure the update for Gingerbread is coming ....but apparently ...mostly everyone has installed the leaked gingerbread...now I ask is it worth it to go back to stock to be able to download the new update if so how do I go back? What do I need to flash? This question has probably been answered but I couldnt find it...thanks.

Hello filmusikat,
I see that you're running gingerblur 4.5 on your atrix, so do i. You need to flash 4.1.8.3 official sbf and check for the gingerbread update regulary. I don't think the leaked gb roms are worth to spend time for now. They all have glitches which would effect daily usage.

Hi filmusikat!
The latest ROM has proven to be very stable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
The instructions are included within the thread. Not addressing the unlocking part since your signature already tells you got it.
As for being worthy, I say it is. I was in Gingerblur too, and the performance difference is big.

no glitches affecting any daily usage on me for 4.5.91. 100% functional, and 100% better than froyo.
Remains to be seen which version of GB will be the official release. The leaked versions everyone is flashing may not be the most current which will be offered up.
NOTE SHE/HE NEVER MENTION GB 4.5, actually if she/he indeed installed ota gb update.zip, with you instructions she/he will have a HARD BRICK
So first thing to find out is what actually she/he has installed

For the nice lady:
"If you want to confirm your status, please adb, su, and "cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm" or just open the file in Root Explorer. If you see something like:
10000000000010001000300004000
Then you should NOT SBF anything from Motorola"
If you want to post your ReservedOdm to look and see if you will be fine to SBF 1.83 again
Probably you are safe if you actually installed Kenth by CDW or moto-fastboot (boot.img and system.img)
But if you actually run the update.zip or any update trought the normal android recovery screen and if you saw the following legend "updating AP20 bootloader" in that case you CAN NOT flash any SBF from Motorola
I hope it help

as i have just received it.
Many many thanks in advance
Rather open-ended question because the correct firmware is going to vary depending on what you want to do. For instance, do you wish to revert to a stock ROM? Do you want to be as up to date as possible? Are certain features important to you?
I personally don't recommend going back to stock, but to go forward and get a custom gingerbread ROM. Check the development forum for four good ones: Longhorn 2.9.1, DSC 1.2, Cyanogenmod 7, and MIUI.

no need to revert to stock then... streakdroid 1.9 is the best for 2.2.2... so whats the point on going back to stock...? all stock are not optimized at all and have many hidden and useless application in it...
last time i tried using the deodexed stock but still it is not enough and does drain the battery too... custom rom is way better...
but if you insist on going stock.. i am not stopping you.. do what ever you want.. also updating to stock gingerbread such as olleh 407 has its own problem too...

I see from other posts that you are going to put 407 on the device and with this post why you're going that route is clear. Factory reset isn't required prior to flashing because flashing the ROM itself will wipe everything. What is required is that the stock recovery image for 407 be placed on the device before attempting to flash the ROM. Otherwise it won't work. I'm not going to go into detail on how to change the recovery image because there are sticky posts galore that have all the relevant info. A good thread to look at is in Streak 5 Android Development, titled "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it".

The country you are in and the carrier you are using do not matter when it comes to flashing a Streak ROM. All that matters is whether the region of the recovery matches the region of the ROM you are installing. Thus, for 407, you would need a region 14 recovery as 407 is a region 14 ROM. Unlocked Streaks purchased direct from Dell had their own region, 00. To flash one of those ROMs, e.g. 360, you would need a region 00 recovery.
I hope that clears things up.

Well in my tutorial I start from scratch but ok. You would first need flash tools, 2.3.3 rom and patients.
Flashtools would take the 2.3.3 rom and push it to your device and remove your current 2.1. Its very! Easy to do so. When you get 2.3 gingerbread you would hate it right away because its stuck in time slow. Anyway you would then download and place donutHD which is the best stock 2.3 stable rom for x10(my opinion) place it in your SD card. The root your device and install xrecovery(all in my tutorial) and go into the recovery by switching off your phone, the when switching it on again press back a few times until you enter the recovery. Then do a factory reset and the install the rom. When done reset and the your good for good.
Doing these things will loose you all your data on your phone so download GO! backup(not pro) and backup your stuff and when your done redownload it and restore it.
PS.....this was just a rundown, follow carefully my tutorial.

The root your device and install xrecovery(all in my tutorial) and go into the recovery by switching off your phone, the when switching it on again press back a few times until you enter the recovery. Then do a factory reset and the install the rom. When done reset and the your good for good.
Doing these things will loose you all your data on your phone so download GO! backup(not pro) and backup your stuff and when your done redownload it and restore it.
PS.....this was just a rundown, follow carefully my tutorial.

ok, thank you for your patience. Last question, what 2.3.3 rom should I take for the first flash? Promised, after this I won't bother you anymore! It's just that she uses her phone mostly for professional use, so I really shouldn't brick it.

Its ok you could ask. Have you already installed gingerbread using flashtools? And don't worry you won't brick this phone easy at all.
And the donutHD rom in the developer section is a good rom for her because its stable and fast.

Sorry here download gingerbread 2.3 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vxa0kzi87idladf
After downloading flashtools and extracting it to your desktop place the file you downloaded in the frameware folder and when you start you would see "flash" using flashtools and then a window would come up showing two files: relock bootloader or something(my PC crashed so I cannot remember the name. But its not important) and a file named Arco and on the same line you would see 2.3.
And remember before turning off you phone to flash gingerbread you should back up your data since it is a business phone. Then go to settings, applications, and tick unknown sources then in development-USB debugging.
Then turn off the phone and after flashtools say plug in the phone through USB do so while holding download the back button on your phone. When done follow my guide.

it is easier if you just flash the kernel and baseband of 2.3.3, I will search the thread, just flash via flashtool, then go in pc companion or seus and you can flash the stock rom

PC companion doesn't work for him in this country so he cannot get 2.3 with it. Only 2.1.

Hello, and thank you for your interest. I'm in France... And I think there's only one french operator that introduced the 2.3.3 update, and it's not mine.
Anyway, I think I'll go for the first solution, because I allready prepared everything for it, but if you both think the second solution is better, please let me know before the weekend, and I'll try that.

I am no pro in flashtool, i dont know what you have done with your phone and so on, so its maybe better to use the other option .
But I did a little rese§kuld recommend you to look dixperia 7 avenger (a stock based custom rom) for two reasons:
1. it was my first custom rom and its simply great ,
2. there is the stock kernel and an introduction how to flash the rom from 2.1
Even if you dont decide to start with this Rom it is sure interesting for you here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557455
People with Rooted Android 2.3.3 Stock(-based):
1. Go to xRecovery and do some steps:
-Factory Reset
-Wipe Cache Partition
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
2. Choose Install Custom Zip and select my ROM.
3. After this Reboot Phone.
+ more instructions for people on 2.1
4. (instead of point 3) Take off battery from your phone (don't use Reboot Phone, DON'T TURN OFF YOUR PHONE NATURALLY).
5. Put .ftf file to firmwares folder inside FlashTool direct place on your PC.
6. Flash .ftf file.
7. Turn on your phone naturally
