Sorry, no Gingerbread if you're wanting to stay with a stock ROM. It is fairly easy to do, but read all the information at the link below carefully before you attempt to manually change the firmware.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
ahhh looks to confusing :L,

if i was to just update it through the dell would it be bad do you think?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Seriously?

1. Find and download the update.pkg from the wiki to the root of your SD.

2. Rename the downloaded package to update.pkg

2. Shut down the Streak.

4. Boot into recovery mode by holding down both volume buttons while turning the Streak on.

5. Select option 2 on the screen that comes up.

6. Hit the appropriate button on the screen that comes up after that to install the update.

Wait about twenty minutes, and you're done. Set up your accounts, install your apps, and you're on your merry way.

Radimus uses Fastboot. The method above is essentially what Dell will have you do, with the exception that you're downloading the ROM yourself instead of using Dell's OTA application. In any event, it's not that difficult, whichever way you want to go.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
haha thats easier (: one thing i didnt kow what package to download? any ideas what one
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
actually im a bit lost on 5 and 6, dont know what it means by copy this..

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

fastboot.exe (acquired in Step 0) <--- If you see: 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command... RTFM

recovery.img (aquired from Step 2)

update.pkg (aquired from Step 2)

ApplyRecovery.bat (created in Step 5)

into a folder wat folder? and what do i do with the notepad bit?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Use the 351 ROM if you have an unlocked Streak. That's a very stable, 2.2.2 ROM.

If you're using Radimus' guide to do the upgrade, he explains exactly where to get everything and where to put everything, so if you're stuck at step 5 on his guide, you need to read his guide again, carefully. The directory you put all the stuff in though can be anything you want, as long as it's on the root of drive C and has no spaces.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
thanks

at the moment i have done it all downloaded, and just copied the update.pkg to my memory. were do you get the fastboot i think it was from i have never seen that?

i have done the volume up/down and powerbuttonw loads to do the hard restore but never seen the fastbook
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
have got a bit further doesnt work :/

got to step 9 and nothing happened it just said fastboot_mode and not the ready
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Did you download the drivers from the link Radimus provided and did you follow his instructions in the PDF to get your computer to see the Streak?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
the rdimus way
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
might just do the update through the notif bar ;/ what do you rthink?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you're still getting the update message, you might as well. Though I thought you were trying to avoid a repeat of what happened the last time when you tried to do the update.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
yh i am its annoying ha, yh i would like to do it so i dont have the same problems but doing it the other way i had no luck
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Well then, if you're trying to avoid that problem, why are you not at least trying the step by step instructions I gave back in post 9 of this thread? The only time you have the Streak connected to the computer is to copy the .PKG file you downloaded from the XDA wiki. After that, it's all done on the Streak.

And just to clarify something, once you get the Streak into recovery mode, you use the volume controls to navigate between the various options and the camera button to select.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
yep i tried and i got stuck at

Step 9: With the Streak in Fastboot mode and showing 'ready' double-click the ApplyRecovery.bat from step 6. It should run quickly and the Streak should display a completed message.

were do i open it, its still on my pc as it said only copy the update.pkg to the phone?

and yeh thanks

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hramosnook:
I am currently running CM7 on a 16gb microSD card and recently bought a 32gb card.

What is the best way to move the install to the new card without doing everything from scratch?

I assume it is possible to write an image of the 16gb card, write that image file to the 32gb card and then extend the last partition to use up the remaining free space but how would I do that exactly?

I tried to create the image using Win32DiskImager but the app froze (maybe because I was using Windows7 64bit OS?).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cama900:
Its not just windows, cuz i have the same setup. You might try a different version of win32DiskImager, and make sure every windows explorer window is closed.

Also ive heard that it becomes less stable (is that the right word???) What happens is that the random read/write speeds become kinda wonky... but its worth a try :)

I hope this helps
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martian21:
I have been using USB Image Tool to clone my microSD cards.

http://www.alexpage.de/usb-image-tool/

It seems to be more stable than Win32DiskImager.

In order to grow the 16GB partition to fill the new 32GB card I would use Gparted or Parted Magic.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobK46:
If you have the capability to load 2 sd cards (since my bult in only accepts one card at a time, I use a USB card reader for the second card) I recommend using easus todo bacup software (free) and just copy from one card to the other.

The advantage to this is that you never run into image sizeing problems and you can extend the extra space to full size right in this application.

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legoverse:
thanks for that...

I've just been searching for a good way to clone for backup, and had found that tool (tab to that page open as I write). So thanks for the confirmation that that tool works. I'll give it a shot.

Win32DiskImager doesn't want to work at all - it reads and writes the image up to a max of 4gb. It says it is still reading and writing, but the image file never goes beyond 4gb. (and no, my file system is not fat32 - it is NTFS).

For backup purposes, it would be nice to have a way of making an img file that is compacted, instead of the full size of the card. :rolleyes:

Any ideas?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hramosnook:
That utility is only seeing the fat32 boot partition

how do I backup/restore all partitions?

note: I can only see the boot partition in Windows but I can see all partitions using Ubuntu
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacjar1:
you need version 0.1 of win32diskmanager..its only version that i could get to work to restore images. I also used it to make a image of my data partition. Hooked up nook to system used nook color tools USB connection wizard. had both boot partition and data partition visible in win7. Then I made an image o the data partition. Not sure if this is best way to do it but it worked.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youbecha:
That was a bit of work...

I did use the USB image tool to clone the drive...

...I did have to close windows explorer to write the data to the new drive (unable to access errors)

Once I wrote the image, I attempted to resize it.

Windows wouldn't do it with native apps or a free partition editor...

Gparted wouldn't do it because the file name "CM7 SDCARD" has a space that gives linux a headache.

So I had to load it up on the windows machine to remove the space from the label...it still wouldn't resize the partition, so back to Ubuntu and Gparted.

That time it worked, and then still in Gparted I made the name CM7 SDCARD again.

Nook is happy, I am happy.

Hey everybody,

I've install cyangenmod 7 a while ago, and since than I cannot reinstall some of the apps I had before installing this ROM, like Skype for instance.

When I try to install from the market, the download bar (in the notification window) pops up, and after a few seconds it disappears, and that's it!

Any ideas what went wrong?

Thanks! :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmags5:
When dialing a Facebook contact from Contacts, Call Log or LPP People Widget, the dial pad appears with that contact's # & picture but the dialing attempt ends & I get a message of "Call has been lost".

I first noticed this after flashing CM7 N96. I've seen it on N98-N101.

From poking around several forums, I'm confident the problem is that Facebook contact phone #s import with +1 at the beginning. If I edit the contact to create a separate contact, without +1, I have no problem getting calls to dial.

I don't want to do that for over 200 contacts.

Does anybody know away to keep FB #s from importing in that format?

Anybody else seen this happen?

I find it strange that I can only find a handful of posts about it anywhere. Nobody has a solution except to change each contact.

Thanks, in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
Yes. The best method is to not import Facebook contacts.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twistee:
Using the + (plus) prefix for country codes

I think it's still a bug. Using the plus sign as a callout prefix has been an accepted standard for many years and my cheap $10 feature phone can handle it cleanly. I find that this bug exists in all derivatives of CM 7 based ROMS but doesn't seem to exist in the Froyo based versions.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
I noticed a similar issue when I used to run CM 7.2. I didn't have any of my Facebook contacts imported, though. Not sure what the problem was, but I'm on Deck's Reloaded now and haven't had the same issue.

I am not responsible for brick phones. This method worked for me. If there is any confusion or something is not clear, ASK!

I see Kaik541 has a thread in Dev section for an ODIN version of KF1

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14782572&postcount=1

This is for those who want to flash and root from using the tar files.

I personally always remove my external memory and sim card before using odin. It is not needed as people will obviously post and neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.

1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm

2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.

3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image attached)

4) Flash fugu kernel http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1010141 (I attached the zImage-root.tar to post if link does not work)

In the first post look for and select the download link in step 2: (credit to nikademus)

How to use:

1: Flash the stock rom

2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin

3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall

4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)

5: Reflash the original kernel

5) Flash stock kernel (attached kernelKF1.7z) credit to lownox for helping me on that

6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)

7) Install busybox from market

8) ENJOY!

Once someone gets this done, they should dump it, deodex it, then upload.

I want to do that but I haven't learn how to do anything beyond deodexed. I also still haven't had time to learn how to add "extras" like extended power menu or additional lock screens.

Do we really need another Odin guide? Write one on heimdall. It's open source and actually maintained. It also has a lower brick rate.

With that said I also have no objection if anyone wants to write up the parts for Heimdall here or by PMing me, I'll add to it the first post.

There's really nothing new to learn. It looks and loads almost exactly like Odin. Not sure what processes are different when you push the start button though. I'm not pushing heimdall, just conveying what i've seen with it. I used once to load the last Andro3.

Woke up this morning and the phone was on the white my touch 4g splash screen and stayed that way for at least an hour after I noticed it. Pulled the battery and now when I start the phone, goes directly to a white screen with 3 androids on skateboards in the middle of the screen and stays there indefinitely.

hboot automatically sees the file when you boot into it. The screen with the three awesome android's trying not to bust their ass on the skateboards while trying to impress the girls that you can't see is hboot. Also, recovery is an option in hboot, just press volume down to scroll through the menu and highlight Recovery. Hit power to select it, and bam, you're in recovery, and three little skateboarding androids just got their first girlfriend.
