Haha, way to turn that around on me! Yeah, my device setup is so flawed, following the instructions in the tutorial and all that. Seriously, if you aren't on fire, do you just ignore fire alarms too? (it must be awesome to be you)

umair, outsidah, Funk2641, bilalsheikh, and I are posting with problems. This is something you could fix, but you're not doing it, because you personally didn't have a problem. A lot of people put in a lot of effort in tech support around here to keep newbies like us running correctly, and it's stupid of you to make more work for people who actually contribute.

Aw cool, thanks. The upgrading/downgrading guide says there's a recovery rom for O2 2.1, but people in this thread are going back to 1.6. I was thinking that 2.1 would be easier, but you're probably more of a pro than me. If you're already done, which one did you flash with? Did it work?
[Streak 5 Android Development] outsidah:
Hey there.

Here is what I did that worked for me.

As info I was running the 2.1 V1 ROM just fine.

When I wiped/formated and loaded V3 is when my problem came up.

I had to go back and download 2.1 including loading the stock bootloader:

Downgrade from Stephen Hyde's 2.2 to O2 2.1 (build 8105)

Download the O2 2.1 (build 8105) file in this post.

Rename the file to Update.pkg and copy it to the root of your SD Card.

Download this rar file which contains a recovery for downgrading here.

Move the recovery.img file to wherever your fastboot.exe is.

Put your Streak into fastboot mode.

Open up command line type: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.stock.new.img

Hold down both the volume buttons and type: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot in command line.

In recovery select Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card using volume keys and camera button to select. Be patient it will take a while.

The Streak will reboot and you are now on O2 2.1 (build 8105).

Now I was on 2.1

I then had to load clockwork and Steve's V3. Now when you finish loading Steve's V3, my Streak got stuck at the Dell screen. What I did was to go hit the factory reset option from the main menu you get when you boot the device with volume up & volume down held down. After I did that, I went into 2.2.

Upgrading from O2 2.1 (build 8105) to Stephen Hyde's 2.2

download Stephen Hyde's 2.2 update zip from here.

Rename update-new.zip to update.zip and copy it to the root of your SD Card.

Download recovery.alt.zip from here.

Move the recovery image into the same folder as the fastboot.exe.

Put your Streak into fastboot mode.

Open up command line type: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img

Hold down both the volume buttons and type: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot in command line.

In recovery select Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card using volume keys and camera button to select. In the ClockworkMod recovery menu select Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card and then Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip. Once it's all done select reboot system now.

To enable data go Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks and check off the Data enabled button. Then select Access Point Names and manually add the apn info for your carrier.

You should be all set up and ready to go with Froyo!

If you want to gain root use Universal Androot (download information seen above).

These instructions and links are partially ripped from what homeiss wrote on the Modaco forums so props to him. I'm just adding what I did to be able to fix mine.
[Streak 5 Android Development] KDerrida:
Oh, cool, it worked for you! Thanks for the advice. The recovery for 2.1 that's linked there is down, unfortunately, and I don't have a local copy.
[Streak 5 Android Development] outsidah:
Here you go!
[Streak 5 Android Development] ThrashWolf:
Thanks dude! Got stuck at the Dell screen, this sorted it!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
So far its been running very well all day, still has the sticky orientation but it often responds just takes a while. New one for me is the haptic feedback of the home menu back buttons periodically stopping.

I've had no issues during the updates, but I did get stuck on the dell logo once. After a battery pull it loaded fine though.

Looking forward to a final version I can stick with for a while. I can't get into a rom flashing frenzy like I used to with winmo...
[Streak 5 Android Development] skrapgiarc:
Swype fix

- Using rootexplorer search for "libSwypeCore.so“ and delete it. You can also find it inside system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

- Install the swype latest

I found this on a post from calin75 on another forum.

Worked for me. Now i really love froyo!
[Streak 5 Android Development] kantras:
I'm currently running 1.6 vanilla (6661), so am considering going up to 2.2 to help identify and iron out issues. Before I go any further, I was wondering if anyone was using touchdown with the 2.2 build, and which version if so.

I know that 2.2 has native exchange support, however I like the current separation that I have between my "Work" email/calendar/contacts and my "Personal" email/calendar/contacts - Work time keeps trying to encroach into personal time enough as it is, and I don't need to encourage that ;)

Part of me has considered waiting until the "official" update comes out, but that still doesn't guarantee it will still be supported.
[Streak 5 Android Development] KDerrida:
AWESOME! It works now! Thanks for your help!

Also, a bug: When I try to pause an MP3 that's playing, I get a message "the player does not support this type of audio file", even though it was just playing. Also, the music will not play unless I go back to the beginning.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
beta 4 coming today - fixed market
[Streak 5 Android Development] aesarius:
Still loving the ROM but got the Streak playing random reboots since applying the update straight onto Beta 2... :(

I had no issues with this with Beta 1 & 2 but now the phone just reboots by itself a few times a day.

Anyone else having this issue?

@skrapgiarc

Where did you get Swype from?

Is it included in this Beta release and I haven't seen it!? :eek:

Cheers.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ok folks new release 1.0 is up :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] ebaul:
Funny, never had a problem entering recovery in rom manager, but now I can't do it. i get the recovery menu, but when i hit the instal from update.zip it should go onto clockwork correct? I'm getting a black screen nothing else. i can go onto the os without problems, but not the clockwork. i've re-install the clockwork twice with no luck. suggestions??? i just downloaded the release 1.0
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
use the clockwork linked in first post (one on modaco - its modifed for streak
[Streak 5 Android Development] ebaul:
that worked. thanks. got so used to your latest one before this release that i forgot about flashing. Great work BTW, you have a lot of people out here looking up to you
[Streak 5 Android Development] ebaul:
Apps + Preferences

All my apps and preferences are there...!! This is so kewl.:)
[Streak 5 Android Development] aesarius:
Thanks Steve!

Awesome news but server appears to be down when I click on the download link for the release... :confused:

Streakdroid seems to be down as well?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yea ive pulled update for a min fixing something first
[Streak 5 Android Development] puchg350:
Thanks and congratulations, Dj, now, I think, I am ready to update to 2.2. But it seems the server is so busy that I cannot hit it from Japan. Not a big deal, I will try again tomorrow.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
nah its not i just pulled the update but couldn delete it without stopping webserver first - fixing some issues first
[Streak 5 Android Development] mubasa:
the beta1 link is not working for me..
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yep i pulled the update due to camera issue. reuploading now :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] mubasa:
thanx dude, u're great.

I had problems with the previous relase (my streak got stuck at the dell logo) I hope this new relase will work ok on my device.

thanx for your great job
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ok, file is back up same link

if you have issues with freeze at dell logo hold down both vol buttons and choose the factory reset - this will wipe all apps etc though
[Streak 5 Android Development] adityareddyp:
Great job Steve.

Quick question. I am on beta v3 right now.

When I do a factory reset, will it go back to 1.6? Or will it stay at beta v3 and just wipe all the apps?

If I do factory reset, do I have to install clockwork mod again?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
it only wipes apps/data/settings and it wont touch clockwork
[Streak 5 Android Development] mubasa:
everything works great!

thanx man!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] adityareddyp:
Thanks Steve for all the great work and help.

I am gonna upgrade to right now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jrgnd77:
Installed Release 1 and so far the Market issue is solved...Was able to download Fring and Google Voice...Thank you!!!...Also, it seems faster...
[Streak 5 Android Development] mubasa:
the last supid question than I promis that I'll not bother you anymore...is there any way to install an alphanumeric t9 keyboard? I tried the HTC IME but it doesn't work at all..any idea?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
i haven tried to be honest, i like the stock kb
[Streak 5 Android Development] kag8:
how do i do the full data wipe??? plz help
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
factory reset - hold both vol button on startup and choose factory reset :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] kag8:
thanks, will it wipe my sd card as well?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
no it only wipes the internal sd where data and settings are stored
[Streak 5 Android Development] mubasa:
i like it too..but I love the t9 to write with one hand..anyways I tried some HTC Ime and the only version that seems to work is the low res..the hi res for the 2.2 crashes every time..

Do you have any idea to fix this??
[Streak 5 Android Development] sooby77:
I'm very interested in upgrading to Steve's V1.0 Froyo. I bought my Streak used from someone that had flashed the O2 beta version. It's running fine, but a few niggles. How do I figure out whether clockworkmod was installed? Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] mrdegriz:
Install it, seems very polished..Do, or do not..
[Streak 5 Android Development] tungsifu:
still stuck on dell logo

scratch it i got it, thanks again dj!!!

gettin alot of forced closed even on market
[Streak 5 Android Development] crazy cat:
Hm...stuck at the Dell logo and the wipe do not work. Tried 3 times time. Beta 0.3 worked fine, now can´t flash.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Charles::
Might be a dumb question, and I think I know, but I want to make sure. When I upgrade from 2.1 to Froyo, I'll still have access to all my previously bought/dl'ed apps in the market, so I can just reinstall them all, right? I won't have to keep track and go searching for them again?
[Streak 5 Android Development] tungsifu:
keep trying to me about three times, wipe everything and fact restore after install
[Streak 5 Android Development] kantras:
Just upgrading from 1.6 (6661) to the v1.0 Froyo image. I did a factory reset before starting, to try and keep things as clean as possible. I didn't hit any issue until I was rebooting for the last time to start Froyo; I also got stuck at the Dell boot logo screen.

To help try and find out what was going on, I restarted the phone and ran the adb log capture as it was booting. It appeared to be in a reboot cycle, throwing multiple errors about missing files or unable to open new files. I captured this for a little while, then performed a factory reset.

I also captured the output after the factory reset, and the phone was able to boot successfully.

So, now up to 2.2 as well.

Got it!!!!

Clockwork Recovery -> Update to V1 -> Flash UK Recovery -> Boot -> Works!!! -> Flash Clockwork Recovery again -> Works 2x!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bizzach:
Thanks for all your hard work Steve, and the rest of the community as well!

Now that it's up to a stable 1.0 release, I'm ready to take the plunge from my O2 2.1 I just have a couple of questions I havne't seen answered since the 1.0 was released....

-How is the WIFI on this release? Is it stable and consistent?

-How's the camera / camcorder, inlcuding 720p capture?

-Is it still having random reboots?

-And finally, is the GPS & BT working ok, along with the orientation sensor?

Thanks in advance guys! :)

Root access 2.2

Im trying to update to v3 but I don't know how to root it, Im already on 2.2 v2. Can any one help me out?
[Streak 5 Android Development] JWallstreet:
Use Universal Androot to root the device.
[Streak 5 Android Development] imperial_patrick:
I got stuck on the bootscreen on v1.0 using the method at the top of the forum, i had to reset back to original att us 6601. After this i decided to skip straight from the us stock rom to froyo. i thought it wouldnt work but i just tried it thinking i could always go back...

AND magically it worked

went from stock us att straight to froyo!

i don't know if this was an anomaly but im finally on the froyo wagon!
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmbneaf:
I'm running TouchDown Exchange and well. No problems other than NitroDesk will not accept my currently paid for Key I bought 8 months ago for my Nexus One.

Read the details at http://nitrodesk.com/dell.aspx

Works so well, I may just pay for another key for the Dell Streak anyway . .

PS: Angry Birds is Awesome on the Streak as well ;-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] KDerrida:
A couple pages back I was having the "the player does not support this type of audio file" error. It happens whenever I pause the music player, and it stops the music and keeps me from playing any more.

I can go into /dev/graphics/ and use sudo chmod 666 fb* (i am rooted) which fixes it until I reboot, but when I reboot, fb0 and fb1 are both set back to their default, which causes this problem. What do I do?
[Streak 5 Android Development] ThrashWolf:
Okay, I must be going nuts, I can't seem to find the proper apn settings for my contract o2 sim.

I can get it set up on wap settings, so I can get g signal data, but no 3g or hsdpa.

Both 3g and H work with my pay-g sim.

Can someone please pass on the correct contract sim apn details? Thanks guys.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
Just in case... have you enabled Data? Its disabled by default.

Does someone also experience that the battery drainage on V1 is higher than on V0.3?
[Streak 5 Android Development] mubasa:
is there any way to make the icons bigger? that's the only thing that I don't like mutch of this relase...
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
change lcd density :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukicat:
You need to change the settings in Build.prop and the line ro.sf.lcd_density=140

to 160 or 180.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mubasa:
ok I'll try thanx a lot guys
[Streak 5 Android Development] mubasa:
how can i do that? i tried to edit build.prop with astro, but the file is onlt -r and I can't save any change..
[Streak 5 Android Development] Freakernoid:
You can't change using astro, u have to using root explorer(available on market as paid app)reboot and you are good to go
[Streak 5 Android Development] ThrashWolf:
That's done the trick, thanks!

Every other guide that mentions apn settings had me putting in a load of extra info.

ufffff root explorer has problems with the super user and its not working.... :(

[Streak 5 Android Development] NoDoze:
question...

I flashed to V1 just now...but all my apps and widgets even, all remained intact, as if I didn't flash... But the About says V1-rel now...How is this possible!?!

I thought flashing ALWAYS wiped all data...?

Sweet.....saved me a ton of time! LOL
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
nope not always
[Streak 5 Android Development] Freakernoid:
You can say that again, Each version gets better and better. I am not even looking forward to dell official release anymore. I am more interested in what Steve have in store for us..LOL
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
Gents - im looking for some help....

I did post earlier in this thread but no one replied. So ill ask again....

Trying to get 2.2 on....heres where i am so far....

Red english streak straight from dell. Got the o2 2.1 build on (but, im not sure if its the final release) usb says mount when you plug it in - i heard that version was a pre-release....

Anyway - when i try to upgrade it gets about 15% the way through - says that it unverified along with another line of code and then resets....

Everything ive read relating to this is in the US thread but mines english

Can anyone help....i only ask as if i try to decipher what different people are saying ill end up with a brick...

Comfy.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
you havent flashed clockwork recovery that is your problem
[Streak 5 Android Development] dcthornton:
Thanks for the LCD density tip! Makes visibility better for us gray-haired geeks. :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
nope - the clockword mod is on - sorry - forgot to say that - its when i start the upgrade there....
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
im suspecting its not on if its saying unverified as clockwork doesn check for signatures by default
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
hmmmm - well, when i did the install at command line it reported back as being ok.....although - i must confess....the view that im seeing does seem to look more basic than what im used to seeing (used to have a nexus one).....so what youre saying is that it looks like it went on - but didnt....and if it didnt what now??? as, it looks like it did!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
Oh - im currently on an x64 ubuntu machine at the moment - can i used the x86 sdk to try again....clockwork-mod-wise.....
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
the trick is to flash clockwork from fastboot and reboot immediatly straight to it as the 2.1 build reflashes stock recovery on boot
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
ok - ill have a crack at it now.....think its best to reboot back into windows for this one though.....ill let you know in a sec/min/ when im back....heh thanks steve.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
ok - back. just done the clockwork flash and its sitting here in fastboot mode "white screen" with FASTBOOT MODE and then below Download recovert Done!

so i take it thats on...?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yep now fastboot -i 0x413c reboot and hold vol keys down
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
eh- whats that.....ok - slowing down - ive got to have the update.zip on the card....and while its at the white screen (as i just said) i type in the above??
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
u need the update zip on sd yes, (assuming thats already done)

then once you have flashed clockwork recovery img (download recovery done) type that command and hold the 2 volume buttons as streak will reboto and should go straight to recovery menu, then choose the update from pkg option to proceed to clockwork
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
ok - fell over there - i left the update.zip on the ubuntu partition...downloading now - ill have to start again but ill get back in a min....
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
ok - im a bit further....the clockwork mod is definately on now....i got to the menu and selected update from file selected that with the power button - screens gone black and now 2 of the 3 soft touch buttons are flashing and now the middle one is lit....is this good??
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
gone back to the 2 flashing.....and then alternating to just the middle one...is it doing anything or is it bricked....
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
it should of loaded clockwork by now youll get menu when it does - try pressin power button to
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
im at the clockwork mod at the moment - if i press the power button while the "apply update.zip" is highlighted screen goes black and the middle soft touch button is lit....thats as far as im getting at the moment - would it be better to go to fastboot and do it from there?....
[Streak 5 Android Development] kantras:
Thanks for the update - i was concerned at first when the link to download the Touchdown apk file kept returning a 404. I grabbed the file from the 2.1 build, pushed it onto my phone and it worked great :) I already had paid for the Dell Streak key, and the key activated it with no issues.

PS: Angry Birds was one of the things which helped convince me to upgrade ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
no press power to get menu back and use volume keys to select select zip from sd then camera to select and then choose zipfrom sd and find the update zip and hit camera
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
im there! flashing now....many thanks steve....off to the donations area right now....even if it does still fail...heh...
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
that was fast - its just done it.....too quick....not good..sit and wait for a bit.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
no the flash doesn take long :) just a matter of if youll need to factory reset to get booting
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
not good - sitting at the dell screen......
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
give it about 5 min if it not booted then pul battery and hold down volume keys and choose factoy reset from menu and wait
