I know there are guides out there to go to earlier versions of Streakdroid,but I can't tell if I can go straight there from my stock build.
Android Version 2.2.1
BUILD NUMBER 14896
ROGERS NETWORK
A modified idiots guide would be great,or something like it,to those of us just coming online...or some kind soul who remembers what it is like could hold my hand to get me pointed in the right direction?>There is a boatload of info that seems like it is constantly changing.
Thanks
Yes you can go stalraight to 1.9.0, just Put the 1.9.0 update.zip and install.txt in the root of your sd card, flash streakmod recovery, reboot into recovery, install 1.9.0, and you are done, just follow the guide, you won't get lost.

Yep. I did it on mine.
In addition to what eowyn0821 mentioned, I fastboot-ed the baseband and 720p fix as well. Just in case. Remember to wipe using the default factory reset not the recovery.
i cannot flash streak recovery,it just says waiting on device but never does anything
and i cant boot phone up.....stays at boot logo
i took out sd card and installed different roms,1.6 to 1.9.0 but stock recovery cant see .zip only update.pkg so i renamed....but after it sees the update and tries to install.....i get the,
E:signature verification failed error
and i dont know where to download the att stock froyo
i believe im on gausbxxx34041,how can i get it to reboot only having the stock recovery?
ive tried the factory reset option,still hangs at boot up
pleas help me before i wear out the tabs on my back cover

The reason you are having error is because you renamed the zips to pkg which they are not, they are zip that is why when it was opened you get the error. Go to the wiki page section of xda for dell streak you can find all the roms, recovery, basebands almost anything you need about streak.

So step 1 for me should be to root my phone correct?
( hello I guess I might need to do a backup first?)
and then I'm clear to use streakmod recovery to reload the zip file.
do I also need to upgrade my baseband first, or is this an optional step?

Yes it is an optional step, it depends on you on what baseband you want to use, but if you are planning to go 1.9.0 i suggest you stick with 345 as i know it was based on 341 and 345 builds.

Just my two cents' worth. Tried to upgrade from streakdroid 1.8 to 1.9 without factory reset. Worked fine. Tried again with a factory reset. Went into an endless loop - boot screen to unlock screen to boot screen..... and so on.
Flashed stock recovery, did a factory reset from stock recovery, flashed streakmod recovery, installed 1.5, then 1.8, then without a factory reset installed 1.9 - all worked fine.
Okay,so far I have installed superoneclick and it looks like all is well and I have installed clockwork recovery and all seems as it should be.
How do I get the install.txt and the update.zip package onto the root of the sd card?Is this the same as just dumping into the sd card from windows? Or do I have to do this in the phone?
Do i need to rename the zip to update.pkg?

If you are coming from any 2.2 you do not need to install superuser as all streakdroid such as 1.9.0 are all rooted, yes you just have to copy the 1.9.0 update.zip and install.txt from your comouter and paste them on your sdcard. You do not have to rename it to pkg as clockwork and streakmod only install update.zip and stock/dell recovery install update.pkg. All streakdroid roms are update.zip and should remain as such.

The recovery usually has some options to mount the sdcard. I have used it on streakmod recovery. You might wanna use that to get the right files on the sdcard to install the new rom.
This gallery will show you the menu options that allow you to mount the SD Card from streakmod recovery.
Thanks for your input,after a few false starts I am up and running-so what's the standard donation for a new improved ROM these days?
Right off the bat,i am very impressed by the display res.Even at what I assume is the stock 160dpi the screen looks amazing.Coming from the samsung galaxy,this was one of the larger dissapointments with my dell..up until now.
In the end it waz streakmod recovery v0.3.2.6 beta that worked the charm for me.Multi recovery and clockwork was no good but I was likely the bug .

Problem with Google
Hello all,
After update to 1.9.0 i have one very annoying problem - i simply cannot sync with Google.
Account is enabled, but inside settings->accounts&sync->my account list is empty.
Simply no options to sync.
After factory data reset (via privacy settings), all options appear (calendar, contacts, etc) but still cannot sync.
"Sync is not possible now, try again later".
Update options were "bios, stageui, noswype".
What can be wrong?
Ok, problem disappear just today.
I did nothing.
Next issue - keyboard settings are not available.
Language - English, United States.
When i try to push Android keyboard button in language & kb menu, i have error "process com.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly.
What can be wrong?
mucho problemos w titanium backup
So my installation of 1.9 Streakdroid over stock 2.2 ran quite well except for some minor issues.One that was bugging me was the time stamp coming in wrong on texts which is a big pain.(I am now working around it by making time settings manual and setting myself to +-0 gmt)
So I thought I had better do the factory reset and clear the Davik cache and see what happens.I backed up using Titanium and proceeded as planned.
Factory reset and everything is okay but every time I go to restore my apps and system data the phone completely craps out.It seemed okay for a while but progressively got worse until I was forced to repeat the procedure many times.At this point every time I go to restore everything with TB the phone totally craps out FC'ing everything imaginable.
System reset restores to a working state but as soon as I restore ADW or TB it seems to crap everything out.
Anybody know how I can retrieve settings from a single app (my tracks) out of a titanium backup?Is there an extraction tool that would bypass everything else?
Hey guys
I had Foliomod 1.4 installed and i wanted to try FolioNotion, i flashed it and it worked. Then i tried Cyanogenmod and it worked aswell, then when i wanted to try out a diffrent ROM i can't install it. I can only get as far as to: "installing update, installation aborted"
Any ideas? )))):
/mmunkn
You can try to first clear the cache, I sometimes have problems that the update wants to write a log but the cache is full. I can't remember what the name was and I'm in work so I can't check atm, I will see when I get home.

I'm afraid that didn't work. I've tried to reset to factory settings, and clear the cache. No luck so far.

Hello,
At the boot, go to the recovery and make a wipe data and dalvik cache, install with adb the recovery of your new rom on the phone and install the rom.
It should be good
Good luck!

Factory reset the phone with stock recovery. Flash streak mod recovery, clear all caches. Install 1.9.0 streakdroid.
Sounds like you just keep flashing roms on to of roms without doing resets or anything like that.

what if im having a hard time gettin into recovery mode?
Hi I'm running ICS on an orange Atrix 4G and some of the things i want to work aren't working so i want to go back to Ginger.... Every time i try to reinstall Ginger i still end up with ICS. I've deleted system files using fastboot and managed to load a stock. Installed Gingerblur and gingerbreak but none of them would take and ended up having to go back to ICS.... Ergggghhh!!!!!
Every time i restart my phone i get 'unlocked'. Is that anything to do with it?
Thanks for helping if anyone can....

Hi guys, I am totally new with Android phones. I got My Dell 3 days ago from a friend. I already know that the camera isnt working. I traded my iPhone 3gs 32gb to his Streak, which is the phone I am currently using right now. I went to 3-4 Local technician down the Metro, they told me this is already a HW failure. The can fix this at $35, yet I dont want my Streak to get into Surgery without making sure there isnt any cure for it. First of I do not know what is the purpose of modding or rooting the Android phone. Ive seen Streaks on youtube that are fast on one touch to another application without hanging. I do not see that capability on my Streak. That's why I got jealous and kept asking my head questions, on how they did that.
For a newbie like me, Id like a step by step walkthrough on wha the Do's in rooting and modding customs for my Streak. What ROM, MODS should I be downloading. Any recommended Rooting Step by step procedure for Newbies and modding is one of my request. What MOD should be installed?
Lastly, does this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834458 help me fix my issue on my camera? I read this thread however, I seem to not know what exactly they were doing.I d like to know If I could do some tweaking for the problem that I have specially with your guys hep.

when your friend said the camera not working.. did you ask him when it is started not working? and how did it started not working?
by the way... usually the problem would go away by going into streakmod recovery.. and wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.. and possibly do the factory reset...
or just go into settings > applications > manage applications > all > camera
and select clear data...
if you tried everything and nothing works.... maybe you can try upgrading to GB and see if it helps...

I would appreciate how would I be able to do those steps you mentioned. Im really clueless about how to do it on this phone. He said it just stop working. He was just taking pictures and after he downloaded some games off G-Play, then the cam suddenly went away and quit working.
What do you mean upgrading the GB? How will I be able to wipe cache and Dalvik cache? I tried to Fully system restore it by pressing the up and down volume keys and the power button but it still is saying the same error on the camera.
How can I do streakmod recovery? I really appreciate your reply. And hoping for XDA Streak owners for your help. I dont know anywhere to go through from here. A friend told me you guys are the best with this, Hope anyone out there can help me. Please.. Thank you.:crying:

on the development section find the DSC 1.4 thread the first 2 posts have all the info you need, to go from stock Rom to DSC , which is a custom Rom, and more advanced in features compared to the stock Rom, plus much better battery life, better control over your mobile, upgraded to ginger so both your cam with work normally, plus is active in development so for any kind of problem there is someone to respond, which is not the case with stock find Rom.

If you have a fresh and clean DSC install (meaning all caches cleared etc from streakmod menu in fastbootmode), before judging if is a hardware issue or not, try to use the default camera app provided with the ROM (in case you are using a dedicated app for that). Then you need to learn a little about getting a logcat file, easy thou , in terminal app :
1.
$su
#logcat > /mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt
or from the pc
2.
adb shell logcat > logcat.txt
the logcat file should reside where you have the adb binary installed
then attach it here
better direct this issue in the DSC development thread, as folks over there are much more professional then in general forum.
I am also having the same problem with the "cannot connect to the camera issue".. Is updating via the update.pkg provided by support.dell.com will solve the issue? Please help I really don't know what to do..
