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...

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
Hey all, I've got my springboard running JB and using TWRP for recovery. Anyone available to tell me how to put it back to completely stock if I wanted to sell it? that would be really cool. I'd even be happy with keeping TWRP and putting a stock rom (t-mobile) back on it too. Thanks! any help is appreciated.

So, if anyone cares, I did figure out how to get it back to stock from TWRP and CM10. I had reflash stock recovery and then used the usual dload folder update process with the stock tmobile update the can be found in the dev section. Let me know if anyone has questions. Mine is now fully 100% stock.
@fimanmd: How did you reflash the stock Bootloader?
u need unzip stock rom zip first, because stock recovery in it.flash stock recovery and recovery2 in fastboot.then copy stock rom to sdcard2's root folder. now u can flash it use stock recovery.

extract out file recovery.img from stock's update.zip. put it on your PC. put the update.zip on your root microSD. then connect your tab to PC and restart it to fastboot mode (bootloader mode). then run command prompt and type this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash reciovery2 recovery.img
fastboot reboot
after reboot your device must begin flashing stock's ROM
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
I am new here, so uh... hi!
I'm looking for the boot.img for my *unrooted* Acer A3-A30.
My recovery mode has some firmware version at the top that reads "Acer_AV0l0_A3-A30_1.132.00_WW_CUS1", so I'll need something like that.
I'm trying to use Magisk to root so that's why I need boot.img
Can someone help me get it?
Hello everyone!
I have an old 7" allwinner a33 tablet running on android 5.1. I was looking for ways to get root access on it.
So I've found a root method on recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a-pain-to-root-cheap-allwinner-a33-tablet-please-help-me.3564543/), it was flashable but the su binary wont let me update.
I think the reason is that it was intended for an older version of android.
Also I've found an universal android 5.1(https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-root-android-5-1-lollipop.3064642/) root for custom recovery, but doesn't run because my recovery is stock.
My goal is to replace old files from Update.zip to newer files from UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip.
Most likely I will need to rewrite updater-script from Update.zip too.
Any advice is welcome.
P.S Signing an archive is not a problem for me, I've already successfully modified an updater-script in Update.zip to remove bloatware.
