I have bought an unlocked 00 @ Mediamarkt in Germany (a store like BestBuy) and flashed it to O2-2.1. For official 2.2 I first will downgrade to 1.6-00 again.

But first I wait for the news of the first sucessful official update of anyone...

I´m just wondering if it´s possible to downgrade AT&T-Streaks to the 1.6-00 Version. Anyone dares? ;)
[Streak 5 General] krumbs:
Am in India on an unlocked Dell Streak, which was bought locally from a Dell dealer. So I suppose I have the "international" version, and should be in line for the first batch of updates.

However, have been checking the update page since yesterday, and nothing yet.

Will the update also be geo restricted?
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
How do you downgrade again ? I was on 00 to but was upgraded when i moved to 2.1 then 2.2 beta
[Streak 5 General] :
No Update for me

Just for clarification.

I got a Dell Streak from Germany (MediaMarkt)

Baseband: GAUSB1A111100-EU

OS: Stock Android 1.6

Lock Status: Unlocked by default

Until now theres is no Update available for me.
[Streak 5 General] toronto65:
Uber newbie here.

Just got a Streak with the following specs:

-unlocked

-GASUSB1A120321-US

-O2 2.1 update1

-6941

-System update goes to (nonexistent) zingstaging.com

What are my choices for getting official 2.2?

Much thanks!
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
you can flash the images through the pc by using android sdk. files are on modaco.
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
there aint no systemupdate from any dell device that is going to check the site you name....
[Streak 5 General] toronto65:
The full url I get is update.zingstaging.com ?version=gausb1a120321

(which goes nowhere)

I'm not sure if I need to wait for an update based on my current os and version, and then put the right url manually, or if I must downgrade first.

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
I had the exact same problem as you.

I tried to install the first release yesterday afternoon, but I had an error in DOS ("too many links" wtf?) and I was stuck on the Dell logo. Basically I was able to get another memory card, load the clockworkmod recovery, then load on Steve's 1.3. That's what I'm currently on... it seems to be working just fine. At least as good as 2.1... the only issue is lack of 720p video recording. Anyway, not really for the faint of heart, but if you use XDA and search around, you can do it.

You might even be able to download that pkg that was released last night (309_000) and rename it update.pkg and try loading it.

Just saying that 2.2 can be had, coming from that build. Best of luck! :)
[Streak 5 General] toronto65:
Considering I've had this phone for.... 9 hours so far, and it is my first android, I believe I have a learning courve ahead of me before attempting that. In the meantime I'll keep paying attention to experiences like yours.

Much thanks
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
Yep cool, literally everything I know about modding Android (and Windows Mobile before that) came from spending hours upon hours reading everything I could on XDA. Tons of great info here... and some incredibly smart people!! Like Steve, he should be working for Dell...!
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
no need to downgrade. you can flash the files from modaco to have 2.2 on it. but maybe its better to wait for official update since basebands are locked to o² and you dont want to loose your provider-connection.

you could however try to use this url http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=gausb1a120321

the update will be available as of 3th december.
[Streak 5 General] toronto65:
That's good news. I think I can "survive" with leaked 2.1 for 2 weeks.

Appreciated...
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
probably not much of a problem since its just 2 weeks.

as i dont have O² i cant check if it will rise some problems connecting to provider, but maybe its a good move to get 00 baseband 2.2 on your device. O² version might have some restrictions opposed to the "unlocked" version.
[Streak 5 General] toronto65:
Maybe after those 2 weeks.... I'll still wait till somebody else tries first :)

Is the unlocking related to the baseband, or the build? or once a phone is unlocked it doesn't matter what baseband and os build is installed?

You suggest changing the baseband right before installing the official 2.2? Or do it on top of the existing 6941? (I just found out there is also an Official 2.1 for O2: build 8105)

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
unlocking is in the baseband but probably has some bios-switches in the loader as well.

if im correct changing baseband to 00 needs 1.6

you cant upgrade unofficial 2.1 with official 2.1

so best thing to do in my opinion , since u have unofficial 2.1 anyways is to flash this modaco 2.2 version (the official 2.2) then you should have 2.2 @baseband 00. it wont hurt since you can revert to any other baseband afterwards.
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
Me too. Followed the guide at modaco.com. So far so good. A few force closes here and there. Might do a clean restore if they continue.

You may need to select the OTA Server in EMList to mobileupdate if it's going to zingstaging.com.
[Streak 5 General] decoyeb:
thanks for that bit of info 1st time in weeks i got some were with the update site ;) but still no update (on o2 uk) but i can stop looking at it evey 5 min and waight till 3rd dec and try then:D:D:D:D

not confident nuff yet to do the modaco thing yet bit diff to doing roms on the hd2 and im a numpty :rolleyes:
[Streak 5 General] toronto65:
Good thing you mention that, because flashing 8105 over 6941 was going to be my fist update experiment. :)
[Streak 5 General] superutp:
i did upgrade the unofficial 6941 build with the 8105 o2 build....but it was more like a downgrade with more issues in the official version...

since tht i have been to chicken to flash the official 2.2...
[Streak 5 General] Trust_no1:
I think the best way to get Froyo now is to change basband to 00 and upgrade it !

I use at&t dell streak with unlocked code and now it's work
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
the best way would be to wait for the official upgrade.

but you can however change to baseband 00 US and upgrade if you dont want to wait. for europe versions its advisable to wait.

"It's not 100%, but plan is to begin 2.2 OTA for unlocked EU Streaks on Monday (22/11). As with any plan this could change."

and

"I will not be able to confirm a date on O2 Streaks till earliest 26/11. As soon as I know I will immediately Tweet to all."

O² scheduled for 3 december..

Hey Guys I just finish flashing My Streak to Froyo 2.2 GAUSB1A130900 Build 11548 is this the newest One? :confused:I Hear is a Second Build or is the one I flash?:)
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
there is a 0_00 version also which is 2mb bigger and supposed to be the fixed version. it is the latest version yu
[Streak 5 General] wonsanim:
How to find this link? I Try to find the newest version:)

Many thanks in advance:)
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
since you just finished flashing , you have the latest version.
[Streak 5 General] wonsanim:
He,He,He, Not exactly I just flash last night very late is I just wake up now,yesterday is too late to check after flash I just go to sleep to start play today:D
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
lmao

so did it work out well ?
[Streak 5 General] wonsanim:
Till The moment great just a Little slow the Stage Widget at start up and some tiny strange screen rotation but fix with some settings change nothing big:)
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
in the beginning it will be slow cause it has no cache files yet and it needs to update some stuff.
[Streak 5 General] wonsanim:
Correct:cool:
[Streak 5 General] chinkostu:
got 2.2 running here on o2 streak (was on leaked 2.1 build, eu baseband)

flashed it over using the 3 files and fastboot. however, have since learnt that the FC in the camcorder doesn't occur if you go about it using the update.pkg method. however, that doesn't work for me.

question is, when o2 release their version, can i download it then install it the proper way (losing all my apps :mad: ) and fix this, or now that i've done this am i screwed?
[Streak 5 General] tosh1:
Just want to make sure of something. I have a US Dell bought streak. Baseband ending in 31. I need to flash the 00 base band for the 39 packGE 150mb package to install properly right? I completely stock not even unlocked. I downloaded the package straight from phone and it almost I stalled but never did.

Its the baseband huh?
[Streak 5 General] chinkostu:
only way to install it is using fastboot IIRC

although it might be worth waiting. i'm getting errors that aren't in the official pkg, and to get that to install would involve me downgrading, buying root explorer, then downloading a shedload of stuff to get me to 2.1 again but with the baseband that will install 2.2

or something :p

edit: now downloading straight from the server. will see how far i get with this one

trying to update pkg over installed version flags up FOTA model name mismatch (as if its wrong baseband)

guess i'll wait for o2 to release theirs, see what bugs are in and go from there!

worked for me...

UK 2.1 O2 locked bb21 build 8105, without reset or wipe i just downloaded steves untouched re-packaged file, flashed x3 files as instructed one after the other via fastboot and rebooted, all settings and data still there and 2.2 bb GAUSB1A130900 build 11548 worked great. Unfortunately my rebelsim made my sim undetectable so i've had to downgrade back to 2.1 :( (rebelsim v1.2 is not compatible with the new baseband but they have just released v1.3 beta so as soon as my programmer arrives i'll be trying again)....here's the modaco link for anyone that wants to try :D

[Streak 5 General] borijess:
I have a question it might be dumb but I would like to know the answer. Why is it dell can release an update for 1.6 to go straight to 2.2 but we have to jump through hoops if you don't have the right baseband. Why can't someone develop a firmware to go from 1.6 to 2.2 no matter what baseband or firmware you are on.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Wondering that myself.
[Streak 5 General] tragicxtacie:
I've been trying to update by either the normal system update route and by using the stock recovery but have come to no avail and get an FOTA error

Could it be because my recovery is GAUSB1A110421???

I have a US beta streak on 00 baseband
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Im no expert but i from what ive read over the weeks here... you need to find the stock recovery for us 00 if you want to downgrade first or download the 39 .pkg file posted here (about 25 pages ago) then click the link via browser download page and device will prompt to install (it did on my dolphin browser) or use steves untouched re-packaged official and flash files via fastboot (see my post further up this page for link) hope this helps?? :)
[Streak 5 General] tragicxtacie:
I've tried to install the 39.pkg but regardless of what package I want to install I always get the FOTA error :/ I also couldn't find the 39.pkg you spoke about
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
page 17 here

http://mobileupdate.dell.com/streak/streak_dell_en/index.html

pretty sure this is the 39.pkg. i would strongly advise taking a look at modaco though,

http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/323561/official-2-2-froyo-untouched/

did you get the error from the file you downloaded from the link here on browser or did you go into settings/about phone/software update? you need to click the link i quoted from p17 then once finished go to settings (within browser)/downloads/click the file and you should get the install prompt.

Maybe his tolerances are high because he doesn't mess with it unnecessarily?

Hands up all those 'Streakers' :o who have numerous problems with their phone because they mess around with them not knowing what they're doing?

How may owners have have rooted, installed, uninstalled, something unofficial that shouldn't be on there, and then found that their device doesn't work properly?

It's not the phones fault!

How is battery life ?

I thought battery life will be improved with froyo. But I am experiencing a 30% decline..

Anyone with the same problem ?
[Streak 5 General] regtee2:
Yeah my battery life isn't as good as it was on 1.6. I'm using Dell's 2.2...
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
I think, and im no expert, that 2.2's cpu frequency is set much higher, so the os is faster thus draining the battery quicker.

http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/document?docid=376503

I See Dell have changed the wording on their site...

those with carrier locked Streaks it no longer says Dec, now states EVENTUALLY
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
EXACTLY! This is why I'm leaving mine alone until the OTA hits.

I've only had an android phone a few weeks...not NEARLY enough time to figure out the ins & outs of the android OS, and how to update it via rooting or anything else.

Granted, the windows phones "seem" easier to play with in that regard, but,

you also have to take into account, someone like me who's played with

PPC/windows mobile for almost 10 years.

I have enough sense to leave well enough alone, until I figure out what I'm

doing, or can find an emulator to play with.
[Streak 5 General] superutp:
cant decide on which is worse...Dec or eventually....

maybe this helps..'eventually in a hundred years locked customers will get their update'
[Streak 5 General] CyberGhos:
Sound like it. In a while, nobody even cares about Dell's updates or Dell itself any more.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Well, if it doesn't hit by Christmas, I'll just take the plunge and update mine

to Steve's. I can almost bet, knowing how at&t could give a rats rear end about

updating anything, that those with locked at&t units will be the last to get the

2.2 update, which, if at&t stays on schedule, will be about the time the 2.3 version hits LOL.
[Streak 5 General] flub:
I for One am curious how many have actually received message to their phones saying update available ???

I see on this forum and others asking questions, saying they are on offical 2.2 but unless you received update to your phone(i.e you didnt manually put in link to download etc) you aint on offical update!

Also wonder what would happen if phone breaks, have you voided warranty ?

My guess would be yes you have
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I was looking on Dells Forum and someone posted how to down grade a ROM and two posts down someone put that link wont be their much longer dell will remove it and under that Amy from Dell said why would we remove it we have said it is OK to upgrade and downgrade the streak

Just thought i would throw that into the Warranty mix:)
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
The minute you root your phone you void your warranty let alone flash custom/altered roms... luckily most mods can be set back to factory settings so we're alright :) you can flash an official rom that isnt officially yours... its still official just "borrowed" :) with all the bugs knocking around i dont see the difference between waiting for dell employees to finish cooking and rom developers here tweaking...??? They're all highly talented (patient) people who love developing. i think its amazing there are people here that can offer amazing alternatives while us customers wait for the likes of dell (not forgetting dell have a huge responsibilty when releasing firmware, they are liable after all, so its not surprising they hold back a little)
[Streak 5 General] vuxuancamtu:
So if I upgrade by downloading the 39pdk file which is for build 110100 etc, did I root the phone? My new build is 11548 with baseband 130900 now.....

How to know the Streak has been rooted or still official ROM?

From my love: Streak_ifisvxct
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
Flashing a ROM to a device is not rooting it. You have to manually, and intentionally root your phone to gain Admin/Root access to it.
[Streak 5 General] vuxuancamtu:
Thank so much for your answer :)

So if sth come from OTA, gingerbeard for example, can I get it? Is that mine still the official ROM from Dell?

[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
questions about updates after the 2.2 update

Have seen this asked quite a bit...

Consider this... after the 2.2 update, when I check for updates, I see that my Service Tag code is appended to the URL when it's doing its check. Well, when I go to Dell's support site, and enter my Svce Tag number in there, I get

"there was a problem with your submission: service tag not recognized."

Ok now follow me on this... if they don't recognize my service tag for support, how are they going to recognize it for an update?

Additionally, are we not receiving the official OTA's for similar reasons?

I really used to like Dell...

Wish HTC would make a tablet/smart phone.
[Streak 5 General] garrows:
I updated my streak officially from my stock rom without having to chew up 150mb of my 3G data (I dont have wifi at work). This is what I did.

1. Download the pkg file from mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_309_0_00.pkg

2. Copy it to your sdcard.

3. Rename it to Update.pkg

4. Turn off your phone.

5. Hold down the volume up, volume down and power button together until it turns on.

6. Select option 2 ‘Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card’ by using your volume buttons and select with the shutter button.

7. Think, did you remember to backup?

8. Press the shutter button to begin.

9. Rejoice! If nothing went wrong, you should have booted up into Froyo.

Full instructions here (but not much more).

Wahoo, my 00-EU (UK) direct from dell red unit has just picked up the official update, downloading now....even though I should have been in bed like 3 hours ago (dam you Xbox). The file seems to be named 315_12332_00.pkg so this does make it a newer version than the 00-us version right? FYI, I haven't taken the plung at all yet so I'm still running 1.6, can't wait to see the big change!

if yes, can you please upload the update file somewhere and post a link to it. My Streak is also from UK bought directly from Dell yet i dont see any update. The update will be on the memory card. You will have to copy it across before you flash it.

nothing here either .. GAUSB1A111100-eu

package is downloading though

edit: like i said there was going to be a different version, therefor i wonder if we get another upgrade for dutch eu devices. really dont want to mess around with a rebelsim to get my t-mobile working. allthough these different upgrade packages work, some of them are missing some key radio elements in the radio rom. still not clear if this get overwritten by the upgrade.
[Streak 5 General] flamewave:
Thank you!I just updated the new 12332_00.pkg,Looks good.
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
Well....after only a couple of hours sleep, I've managed to have a quick mess around and most things seems alright with this build (again, only a quick go) but I did have to do a complete factory reset as I kept on getting a calendar storage FC and then a System Exemption thing (which kept on reappearing after being dismissed). But now my phones all fresh and ready to play with.

My Baseband is GAUSB1A131500-EU and it was on 4399.

#dellstreak update to 2.2 Android is live with OTA to non-carrier locked EU Streaks.

about 6 hours ago via Twitter for Android

@funaki Yes it is a later update build that is in process, so try a manual check in the afternoon and I'll look into it.

i wonder why this is a different build and it is in progress of being rolled out later this afternoon. as it clearly speaks about 2.2 update to unlocked unbranded EU device.. which is our version i thought.
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
as soon as i see it :)
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
Anyone know if the Quickoffice that comes with 2.2 is the full version or is it just a trial version? It asks me to register, but if I ignore it, I can still create and edit files unlike on 1.6 where you could only browse.

I'm not really sure, but I have flashed several Stephen Hyde's and also the o2 2.1 so I could go to 2.2. Now I suppose that my original baseband isn't exactly the same as the version that I now have on my phone, is that correct?
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
yup it should have another baseband if you updated unless you used the right package.
[Streak 5 General] tragicxtacie:
Soo....I tried updating using dj steves untouched rom and again came to no avail

I was stuck at the Dell logo and tried every way possible to get past it but nothing worked

So I did a android backup to see if I could get my phone back up

And BIG MISTAKE

My phone no longer charges and when in "about phone" the baseband says unknown

Any advice???
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
if you have a rebelsim you need to upgrade it to latest version.

baseband unknown probably means something in the rom got screwed. might be good idea to revert back to a stock rom and from there on to 2.2
