[Streak 5 General] sanju007:
What is the beta unlock dell streak ?

I have the EU dell streak unlocked but the mine say, There are now update at this time

What im doining wrong
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
If finished downloading now, nothing.
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Should it reboot or what ??
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
I assume so.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
You are doing nothing wrong it is not out for you yet its only for the us beta streaks
[Streak 5 General] c0rnholio:
It started on mine when I clicked on the download finished notification. Then a popup appeared which stated that a new software update is available.
[Streak 5 General] ruskival:
you need to click on the downloaded file and then it will start with the prompt for update and reboot
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
I did that to but for me the file then just disappeared from the notification bar

I've now got it sitting in my SD card
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
c0rnholio, what's the deal with u?
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
I guess I will find the file with "file explorer" or something like that? OK .. still have 15% to go .. Already 30 minutes late for work . . What's more important ?? The update, of course !!
[Streak 5 General] ruskival:
if you have a file manager, not ASTRO (didnt do anything for me) you click on the file which is in downloads folder and open it, btw reccomend that you first back it up to pc or something in case something goes wrong so u dont have to download it again.
[Streak 5 General] neovisage.HD2:
Right I have unlock dell streak direct from dell.Collected yesterday was checking software updating and still nothing strange looks like the froyo is only for the us streaks uk need to wait buuuuu
[Streak 5 General] c0rnholio:
Pardon? Can you elaborate that a bit?
[Streak 5 General] ruskival:
to correct the above,

the update is for US BETA streaks, next is meant to be the unlocked streaks (HOPEFULLY)

I GOT AUSTRALIAN OPTUS STREAK BUT ITS UNLOCKED, ACTUALLY ALL ANDROID HANDSETS IN AUSTRALIA ARE UNLOCKED FROM WHAT IVE SEEN WORKING IN A TELCO
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
I am downloading now!! My Streak is a US model with the o2 2.1 ROM installed. It is at 52% and on WIFI.
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Did u manage to upgrade?
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Optus in AU is selling the streak?
[Streak 5 General] ruskival:
if yours is o2 software it wont work this update is only meant to work on us beta streaks,

ive already downloaded the file and tried and mine is australian unlocked

baseband: Gausb1a111800

build: 8116

firmware : 1.6

my phone rebooted, started unpacking and showed an error cant remember what it was (i think corrupt file or something)

and then just rebooted the phone back into 1.6 :(
[Streak 5 General] ruskival:
yep they do :)

i got mine on a plan though, had a s.e. X10, constant issues and problems

replaced it will dell streak and gotta say one of the best hadsets ive ever owned

and its unlocked out of the box no carrier bloatware in site

you can buy it outright from telechoice or allphones for about $750 au dollars
[Streak 5 General] CyberGhos:
R we all played by Dell? Could it be just a dummy file to satisfy angry customers?
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Are they also selling accessories?
[Streak 5 General] ruskival:
unfortunately no,

no one has them yet is australia and as i could only find on amazon a few things.

but i work at telechoice and got direct contact with suppliers so as soon as something is available ill know, you in OZ?

PM me if you want any info
[Streak 5 General] firstcw:
Is this the ONLY file...

Hi @ all,

do we have a way to fibnd out, if the file from the posted link is the only file in this directory? May be Dell has a ftp-server so we can have a look. As I am still at work I don´t have a way to check that.

So just a thought....

take care

Chris
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Finished downloading and clicked on the file. It says an update is available . I said OK .. the Streak rebooted and came back showing a box opening ..

ERROR ... E: Can't open /sdcard/download/ whatever .... rebooting .. and ...

NOTHING ..

Back to square one !
[Streak 5 General] c0rnholio:
Ah, OK, got the wrong translation internaly :-)

No, as I wrote some posts above, my EU streak doesn't seemed to swallow that one. I think it's encrypted somehow...
[Streak 5 General] firstcw:
@c0rnholio

You suggested that the file is encrypted, right!

So what are the differences from "our" EU unlocked version to the US beta?

Hardware? Software?

If it would be software we could try to make an US beta out of our EU unlocked version. If it is hardware and the decrytion-key is stored there, I would say we are out of luck.

Can you see into the differences....:cool:
[Streak 5 General] c0rnholio:
Not sure about that. It might be a simple passphrase live the device version string for example. I'm not a crypto expert but if we find out how the update process work (reversing the update app) then we might find out how this stuff works.

However, I will not dig deeper into this because next week (so I hope) we will get the update for our devices. Since reversing is mostly nothing that is done in a few hours I prefer to wait till next week.

Well, the next logical step would have been to find if a build package from a US beta streak is available in try to install that on the EU version.

But since (if I read that right) there are already US beta users where the update also failed. it might be that something is wrong with that pkg.

Don't know. I'm going for a beer now. Cheers folks.
[Streak 5 General] androidboy13:
Should we rename it update.pkg to stop the error?
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Tried that already.
[Streak 5 General] ComfySofa:
ipguy - did you get yours running in the end?? just wondered.
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
No, after the download I tapped the file in the notification bar and the file just disappeared, its sitting in my sdcard/download directory now.

Hey DELL said the update was going to be available in November, they didn't say anything about the install process, that actually happens when hell freezes over :-)
[Streak 5 General] Trust_no1:
so now it's crap !! nothing..
[Streak 5 General] neovisage.HD2:
I still don't understand why the us dell streak have the froyo update first cos as far as I remember dell was promise first to eu and uk streak owners oi oi oi dell
[Streak 5 General] vlamers:
They said first the Beta-Streaks. Than UK and eu.
[Streak 5 General] neovisage.HD2:
What means BETA streak???
[Streak 5 General] androidboy13:
So as far as we know, ONE beta Streak got the update, downloaded it, got an error, and everyone else tried to download it, and install and got an error. It is just me or is Dell just trying to calm the masses for a few more days.
[Streak 5 General] PriesterLK:
I want delete my message
[Streak 5 General] distortion:
I would assume the Beta units are pre-production units but not the AT&T banned units.
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Can't be more than 20 beta units out three so hopefully well progress to stage 2 quickly
[Streak 5 General] neovisage.HD2:
Yeah right just let hope so even less than 20 beta units cos I hate the 1.6 os on mine lovely red dell streak have lol
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
1000 beta units were 'released in the wild'

http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/06/dell-streak-betatested-by-1000-texas-runners-mostly-students.html

how many are still working and being used? who knows.
[Streak 5 General] SAman1:
Maybe they want the Beta units to test 2.2 for a while first before they release it to the rest of us that paid for our Streaks....? :eek: Why else the Betas first and not the unlocked ones along with them??? Should we pepare for a long wait...?
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Can this be downloaded to a locked Att US dell streak.
[Streak 5 General] Trust_no1:
I think you can download but you can't extract and install it
[Streak 5 General] distortion:
Yes, anyone can dl via the links posted. Getting it to install is another story.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Here's hoping someone can firgure it out to get it to work on a locked 1.6.
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
US Beta unit

I have one of the 1000 beta units. As far as I know, those were the ones banned by ATT.

I have not received anything on the updates as yet.

I think we have the makings of a class action suit here.
[Streak 5 General] wugui:
Same here.
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Bah humbug! Well at least it downloaded. We are one step closer, I think...
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Am I the only girl in here?? Just curious :-)
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Female here !! !!
[Streak 5 General] distortion:
Sooooo...if the beta units are banned. How would they get the notify to update? O_o
[Streak 5 General] OrionBG:
The miracle of WiFi maybe :)
[Streak 5 General] CyberGhos:
How beautiful?;)
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
they're banned on AT&T, but remember they are unlocked so they can get them via T-mobile or even wifi.
[Streak 5 General] neovisage.HD2:
I want froyo update on mine lovely red dell streak very badly booooooo to dell
[Streak 5 General] technillion:
I want a lovely RED dell streak very badly...booooo to Dell US ATT! :D
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
YAY!! And you're from the US too, even better!

Dunno how to answer this one... In the eyes of my hubby, I'm "hot" but who knows what others think. Doesn't matter to me. I was just wanting some same gender gadget friends!

The world is better with girls and our Streaks!
[Streak 5 General] flub:
Have to admit I quite enjoy Girl Streakers Tooo :p
[Streak 5 General] technillion:
If you ever want a second opinion (and your hubby don't mind) post some pictures! We'll let you know...:D

...oh wait! That's a totally different website...back to the subject at hand!

Dell, 4 days after the announcement and not a SINGLE 2.2 update success story!

C'mon Man!!!
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
did you guys try to rename to update.pkg and put it in the root? not a folder?
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
Of course! I tried Update.pkg and update.pkg. It just gives an error. I am on a Beta Streak, flashed with the O2 2.1 ROM now, baseband 21. I thought it was interesting than in recovery, it actually listed the 21 build. So the Beta unit isn't any different from others, hardware-wise.

Has anyone tried downgrading to the original build that the Beta Streaks came with, and then installing the official 2.2?
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
I just bought my streak from best buy but updated it to 2.2 from Dj. I wonder if there's a way for me to return it and see. Maybe say the battery dent hold a charge..idk
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
I got it two days ago
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
trying the update...

I have a beta unit on 1.6 still. I'd try this "in the wild" update if I had the balls, but I don't. Don't know how to restore to 1.6 and go from there, so playing it safe.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
So what's going on now? If you have an unlocked streak u still get an error when trying to install?
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
Lord, are you serious? You're still on 1.6? This is literally made for your situation!

Just download http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_309_11548_00.pkg the drop it onto the root of your memory card and rename it update.pkg

Then power off your Streak. Once it's off, hold the up and down volume buttons, while holding the power button. A list of four options will come up, number 3 will already be highlighted... to update software using update.pkg. Hit the camera button, and it goes from there!

You can get the Dell backup/restore app from the market so you don't lose any info.

Nothing to it!
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
They're trying things over at modaco. Go look!!

http://android.modaco.com/content-page/323484/2-2-out-for-us-bets-streaks/page/60/
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
show me a screen shot if nothing to it...
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
Screen shot of what? I just explained it.
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Was hoping that MAYBE Dell realized the download was corrupt by now and fixed it .. So I downloaded it for a second time. Still will not install ..

Diane - Streakette
[Streak 5 General] hjlow:
if you extract the files mentioned at the modaco thread and flash them via fastboot it seems to work. i haven't done it yet.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Would this work for locked Att streaks on 1.6
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
LOL. How would a:

?
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
And you're late for work for that? ;)
[Streak 5 General] OrionBG:
I've just did it and it works fine!
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
Releasing a file which doesn't work would have quite the opposite effect.
[Streak 5 General] hjlow:
do you get FC on 720p video recording?
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Mine is just about done downloading and then I'm gunna give it a try!
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Does this work in locked 1.6 streaks
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Love the "Streakette"! Maybe all of us in the girls club should start this!!!
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
They're saying that the update.pkg doesn't have to be dumped on the SD card but I'm not on Steve's ROM anymore so I only have o2 2.1. Wouldn't any person that does not have Steve's version have to add that pkg to the SD card plus flash the boot.img system.img and bb files?

Did any of that make sense? I'm blonde too...
[Streak 5 General] OrionBG:
Yes I do! :(
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
even after the update?
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Just clicked update to try another download . . This time it tells me I am UP TO DATE .. just like YESTERDAY.
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
heres what needs to be done

http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/323561/official-2-2-froyo-untouched/
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I can see pink tee shirts being printed and the rest

and us blokes getting told what goes by you and Diane :)

Infact should i make a streakette thread for you all:)
[Streak 5 General] OrionBG:
Yes, after it! :(
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Yes .. A Streakette thread would be great .. We can talk about all things 'pink.' and our favorite purses.

[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
stupid question: Where do I find "fastboot" for WinXP?
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
I'm not a bossy person, I promise!! Just tryin to lighten the mood here. I so wish you could have seen my hubby's face this morning when he heard me scream. He wanted to know what that was all about so I told him about this update. He rolled his eyes- he just doesn't understand. I'm the techy person in our house and this kind of stuff excites me. I'm a Stay at Home Mom with a 4 yo & 14 yo. I would much rather be playing on the geek squad than running around with a feather duster in my hand!

I would LOVE a pink t-shirt!!

Hope you didn't mind me going off topic when I asked if I had fellow girlies here. I apologize if I shouldn't have. :-)
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Who you kidding Pink wont get a mention it will be all who has the most Ram, Chips, SD cards, streaks and the rest LOL:)
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Oh no! What have I done... ROTFL!!
[Streak 5 General] vuxuancamtu:
I have the feelings that froyo is still far from unlocked EU TT.TT

Sorry for that negative thinking...

From my love: Streak_ifisvxct
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Its ok we all need fun and any one who brings up children has respect in my book, now then any luck updating
[Streak 5 General] neovisage.HD2:
Have same feelings about that sounds strange the first update will get some beta streak in which way beta is better than unlocked streak really dell starting take it the p....ss from loyal dell streak users boooooo
[Streak 5 General] vuxuancamtu:
One girl here, 19, I bought the unlocked EU streak and now living in Australia :)

From my love: Streak_ifisvxct
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
let see a picture of yourself :D
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
As soon as STREAK 2 comes out mine is in the bin, Well not the bin as such but i just give to who ever wants it in the Family so waiting for the 5in duel core and cannot wait:)
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Thank you, that means a lot to me.

As far as updating I have flashed the system, amss, and boot.img files but haven't done anymore. Still a little puzzled about what to do next. My Streak is still in fastboot mode, all I have to do is reboot. I didn't put the Update.pkg on the SD so I have a feeling I'm screwed and will be doing more than planned.
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
from the DJ:

ok ive posted this on one of the topics but ill post it directly now

this build is totally untouched and not edited by me at all, im simply uploading it as dell cant even make a working pkg file

http://build2.streakdroid.com/amss-system-boot.zip

extract this file on a pc and fastboot flash the 3 files then reboot streak

CODE:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0x413c flash system system.img

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

ill be updating my build with things off this one also soon
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
I thought that was for "other" sites? LoL!! Now my next question is... How many dirty old men do we have here? Snicker, snicker... :)
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Thank you! I did that. Its the "what will happen after I reboot" that worries me.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I just dont see why they released it to the beta and it dont work, They must know people are not happy with them and they do this. :)​
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
I can't tell ... do I have a kick me sign on my back ??
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
it should take a few min to boot..give 5 min..if nothing happens do a factory reset.

http://android.modaco.com/content-page/323561/official-2-2-froyo-untouched/page/20/

read threw this
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Um boys. My streak is DEAD!! Won't boot, black screen, no LEDs, nothing!!

Help!
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Nope. I do like that OMG avatar you have though!
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
I am a techy person also and I get excited with this stuff too. My wife doesn't understand either.
[Streak 5 General] c0rnholio:
Seems the fun has just started. shouldnt have gone for some beer...makes me feel like a drunken fool now...

anyway, folks enjoy the feelings to make dell feel like a fool

Cheers
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
take theB attery out!
[Streak 5 General] Nosfrat:
Does anyone already look at this ftp:// ftp.us.dell.com/opensource/streak/3.09/ ?
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
I did 3 or 4 times. I have the cover and everything back the way it goes but nothing works! I have flashed many times and this has never happened.

I think I'm gunna cry...
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
hold the power button while putting in the battery/lid.
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Did that for my website .. I own http://www.omigosh.com

It is sort of a wasteland right now ..
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
Can we please fork the I'm a girl/pink shirts/pix please to another thread?
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Nothing. If I plug in the USB, I get the charge screen but thats all. I can't power it on after that.
[Streak 5 General] :
Anyone noticed GAUSB1A110100 gone offline? Showing up to date again.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Ive still got the new page No software crap crap at this time :)
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Mine shows up to date also .. someone posted this link to the update .. somewhere .. I don't know if it was here or? but in any case, I am downloading it now ..

http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_309_11548_00.pkg

http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_309_11548_00.pkg

I don't know if that is the same one I was downloading earlier .. I don't think so.
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Ok, I held power button while putting in battery and lid. It finally worked on the zillionth try. I had a screen with a message and yellow exclamation point but didn't give me time to read it.

I appear to be on 2.2. Its asking which launcher I want... Stage or LP.

What was that all about? Why wouldn't it boot? I was so scared!!
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
can you shut it down, and boot normally after all that?
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
so I fixed it!! whoooo hooooo. :)

it was a shot in the dark. I dont know why it did that. How long did it take to reboot? mines on the dell logo..maybe 2min or so
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Big Big Congrats 2.2 ,!!!!! now take it fur a spin and giv us the low down please:)
[Streak 5 General] jeremy81:
Can anyone advise on the steps to use Fastboot from a Mac. I don't have access to a Windows PC. Thanks!
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Yes, I just rebooted and it was fine. I had some sweaty palms and I was dreading the hubs coming home...

It took a fewm minutes, about the same as any other update. Has yours finished yet?

And thank you! You got me out of trouble. I always get scolded for messing with my gadgets.
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
can you just put the files into root and run them in terminal?
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
hasnt turned back on..just on dell logo.all we had to do was just run those 3 commands and that it..correct?
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
im going to rerun the commands..
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
It seems good to me. I didn't lose anything I had on it before. I did lose root access though and universal androot won't work on it, bummer. The notification bar is grey. The keyboard has HUGE buttons!

How do I post screen shots?

BTW, I did this on a US AT&T locked streak. It was on 1.6 when I got it from Dell then I went to o2 2.1.
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Thats all I did. I don't know how it got 2.2 in there but it did. The pkg sizes were just a little different in size.
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
I was on DJ 2.2. would that matter?
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
Here a shot of my about phone section
[Streak 5 General] meln4ya:
Hey rnj79 I've been reading your post and I'm not sure what you have been doing seems like you were being distracted or something You have all the information you needed to get the Dell 2.2 working it's just too easy to miss up. If you have \ had dj stephens froyo v 1.3 installed then all you should have done is FASTBOOT then copy and paste the commands in your CMD window or download the file, unzip it to a folder on your desktop. then HOLD select then right click and select open in CMD window copy and paste the THREE commands, pull the battery, put back in, turn back on... If the Dell logo flashes color THEN CONGRATZ just wait and you are done on the OFFICIAL Dell 2.2 -- Now!! Just Do It Already!!!!!!!!!
[Streak 5 General] rnj79:
I don't think so. I thought he said he tried it on his and he was on his 1.2 version.
[Streak 5 General] aonavy:
wooohooo..im good. love it so far!!
[Streak 5 General] meln4ya:
Good Job!! You See, Girls CAN hang here...
[Streak 5 General] ershanlakhani:
i have a GAUSB1A110700

i dont know if that is able to get update?

cuz when i click update...it said no update
[Streak 5 General] wonsanim:
When this thing really starting rolling:mad:
[Streak 5 General] rodjordan:
The link just stopped working.... does that mean something is happening ;-) http://mobileupdate.dell.com/streak/streak_dell_en/download.html
[Streak 5 General] Raspster:
Ok, someome needs to get this update and share with the group so someone can crack this egg open so we can install for everyone... I know there is a rooted version of the update floating arounf but would be nice to have an official froyo update.
[Streak 5 General] John Dee:
Its still saying that there are no updates.
[Streak 5 General] chrisrotolo:
F--- waiting for AT&T's bloated 2.2, I tried going to the download page on my streak browser and all I get is.. "No Froyo 4 U!" just kidding. I think someone will get an unlocked version working for everybody.

I bought my streak without a contract but I am using it on ATT, are they "supposed" to give me an unlock code if I bought it off contract?

Would an unlock code help me to get the official upgrade sooner?

Thanks everyone:confused:
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
Probably not dude, they say "unlocked units" but I presume they mean devices brought directly from Dell that have a certain Baseband number (00) rather than any phone that has been "unlocked" as the update will search for your full Baseband number and then see if it has an update for that unit or not, unlocking your phone will not change this code.

And I don't think they are "supposed" to give you an unlock code but you are in your right to request one.
