Yesterday, I upgraded my new white dell streak to from 1.6 to 2.2 using the QDLtool. BTW, its easy as pie, it took about 30 mins, even with the extra task for using a 64-bit OS!!!:D I used the phone as i would normally yesterday and everything, GPS, internet, Facebook, etc worked perfectly.

Today, I try to do anything web related (i.e. Market, internet, Facebook, etc.) and I get 'A network error has occurred' message. I have tested the phone service and it seems to be working fine.

Has anyone else ran into this or have ideas of what I might try? Thanks in advance, cheers.
[Streak 5 Android Development] asher73:
SOLVED

****PROBLEM SOLVED****

I FEEL LIKE A NOOB FOR THIS...

At any rate, I solved this problem by resetting the APN to default.

Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > Press the 'Menu' key > Reset to default > check the radio button under ATT US.

Data network seems to be working fine at this time. I will post if anything changes.

How much experience did you have before using the QDL tool with installing custom ROM's? I just got a Dell Streak White and haven't had any success. Although I haven't messed with the QDL tool after hearing of some folks bricking their phone, and not having a way out. This is my first android phone and I am a little nervous and inexperienced with hacking/installing custom ROM's.
[Streak 5 Android Development] delawaredrew:
No experience at all for me. I had never even touched an android phone prior to the streak.

I haven't heard of anyone bricking their phones with QDL when following the guide, many have bricked them by other means though. It took 10 minutes from unzipping the download to rebooting into 2.2 for me. The software did all the work. I have heard of several people successfully unbricking with QDL.

Some people have issues with getting drivers installed but the tool will not act without the correct drivers so there is little risk there. If stock 2.2 is your goal there is no easier way that I have seen. After QDL is done I think the process on to 1.5.5 is easier also.

There is a guide at streakdroid.com
[Streak 5 Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
Qdl is simple. Its mostly automated. I havent seen anyone brick it with qdl yet. Drivers can be a pain, but fairly simple if your familiar with windows at all. Easier with vista/seven in my opinion.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
that's good to know. I have quite a few options. I have a linux machine with ubuntu, an older win XP with 32 windows, and a W7 64 bit machine. The XP machine is hella slow though, so the W7 machine is my preferential option. A smidge concerned about the extra step since it's a 64 bit machine. I'm going to look into it tomorrow since I am off work for the rest of the year for the holidays. I'll report back with my results.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ccb04:
I'm coming from rooting my G2..Now I'm gonna try to root my girls streak. I advised her to get the phone and now feel bad shes still stuck with 1.6. I'm gonna attempt this tomorrow as it sounds easy. Just wondering why you don't have to root in order to update. Is there no root necessary to update? :confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] asher73:
The extra 64-bit steps were easy to do. I did install the wrong driver at first. I installed the 'Modem 9002' driver instead of the 'Diagnostic tool 9002'. I just went back to 'Device Manager', removed the wrong driver and installed the correct one. After that, make sure you install ADB drivers and then use the QDL tool. As stated previously by others, the tool does all the work. I hope this helps. let us know how things go.
[Streak 5 Android Development] asher73:
My previous experience comes from hacking a few iphones, then I switched to android devices. The biggest difference I have seen is that the android hack require more command line tasks than the iphone. DO NOT FEAR THE COMMAND LINE, MAKE IT YOUR B****!!!!!:D

But a tip I'll give is, ALWAYS follow the guides STEP BY STEP, and make sure you know where the files you are working with are!!! A lot of the bricks come from poor file management i.e. the fastboot or update.pkg file not in the correct directory or file name is wrong and needs to be changed.

The QDL tools was suggested for the white streak as it slightly different from the black unit in the form a of preventative hacking measure, at least that is the only different that I am aware of.

Do your research and good luck, cheers

keep us posted
[Streak 5 Android Development] asher73:
Nothing I have read required the streak to be rooted before hand but my device was rooted. i have not rooted the build yet either. If she isnt going do anything that really requires rooted then she may not even need it. But 2.2 is pretty smooth so far and she will most likely benefit from having the better device with 2.2 than being rooted, IMHO.

The entire process took about 30 minutes and after fixing the APN issue the only other problem I had was what UI i was going to use.(Currently running Laurncher PRO - with the purchased key...AWESOME!!!!!)

QDL Tool how to (I used the streakdroid guide):

For 2.2 rooting use the z4root download:(research first as I have not used this)

Good luck, cheers
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
Since I've tried other methods of installing ROM's previously by using the W7 machine it wouldn't work. So I did a system restore to get rid of the previous stuff. Now it won't even let me install the the ADB drivers can be downloaded from Dell: ftp.dell.com/Handheld/R288920.exe

It just say's error on install. So I tried it on my super old XP machine which was brutally painfully slow. And it won't even update the driver manually. It just says "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware." I will say that under device manager on the XP machine it just lists it in other, like it should, as a Generic Volume instead of the Qualcomm stuff. Weird.
[Streak 5 Android Development] diffstyle:
So just outta curiosity, since this froyo build puts your baseband at "00", wouldn't it be possible to then use's dells officially 2.2 unlocked rom and flash it through recovery? I mean using the update.pkg file from your sd card?
[Streak 5 Android Development] asher73:
It sounds like it worked, but did it? If so which method did you end up using?

In the streakdroid guide there is a command line task you needed to execute before doing anything. To the best of my knowledge that task set WIN 7 to run in a testing mode which allowed for the ADB drivers to be installed properly.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
I was wondering if you had to do the command line portion prior to installing the ADB drivers. Going to give that a go. Wish I could just get it to work with the XP machine, but I can't get it to recognize in the device manager that it's plugged in without turning the device on. It makes the sound as if it realizes a device is connected, but nothing ever shows up in the device manager. grrrrrrrrr
[Streak 5 Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
good deal. if you need any help with anything you can catch me on google talk. jeremyritzmann@gmail.com
[Streak 5 Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
What kind of machine are you using? xp/vista/7?
[Streak 5 Android Development] wj1324:
This sounds easy...I will try tonight using Streakdroid guide...good to hear from someone doing this with a White Dell Streak and being successful.
[Streak 5 Android Development] asher73:
I have read that others have flashed the 2.2 *.pkg with success. The QDL installs dell's 2.2 during its process. I stopped there and have had no issues othe than the APN. Now that I think about it, I think that the QDL 2.2 is meant only to write over the device itself with out any of the specific carrier bloatware. And because of that it did not know what APN to the use until I re-registered.

At any rate, I think this link may help you out:

Let me know.
[Streak 5 Android Development] asher73:
I did do the command line portion before the ADB install. But that portion is meant for the 64-bit win 7. what happened when you tried it on win 7?

the streakdroid guide:

http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
using the W7 64bit machine. This is where I am at.....at about 8 hours in at this point. I've pretty much given up for today though.

Just copied and pasted from another forum:

Ok so I have the option of 2 machines to try this on.........and I'm going on about 7 hours with no luck with either of them. One is a hella old laptop with Windows XP on it. The other is a newish laptop with 64 bit W7 on it. I originally tried it with the XP machine. I can get the drivers DLed and installed successfully on the XP machine, on the W7 machine is immediately says failed when I try an install. I should preface this with saying that I previously had the Dell PC suite installed on the W7 machine using a different version than what's listed in the streakdroid guide. Then onto plugging in the phone on the XP machine if I do that battery out the volume up/down method it makes the sound as if something is plugged in, however it isn't visible in device manager. Not that is matters since I can't even get the drivers installed on the W7 machine, but it's the same. Makes sound as if something is plugged in, but nothing under device manager. When going through the guides it say's it should fail on install when hooking up the device for the first time........wel nope not on either machine. It installs it correctly as a mass USB storage device. Dammit.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
I tried that route the first day I got the phone(i.e. using fastboot) and got no where. Was hoping QDL would be the key.......guess not.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
doing the command line portion, prior to trying to install ADB, didn't change the results. Errored out immediately when trying to install. Wondering is there is some lingering stuff from installing all of this stuff before, but looking around through my machine it doesn't list anything from Dell.

Quick update I suppose:

soooooooooo on my work laptop(W7 64 bit machine) if I go to safely remove hardware->open devices and printers with my phone powered off but connected to the laptop it shows under there the correct device listing which is 'Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' but show's nothing under device manager................like the instructions say it should. Is there any way to force that?

there has to be some setting or something that is key that I am missing on both machines.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
Here is something that I haven't found. So let's assume I've never connected the Streak to a computer. Do I DL ABD install it, connect the phone with it powered on, let it install, then begin the tutorial? If so that's def a step I've been missing. If not.......then I'm still back to square one. If that is the case then it's another system restore prior to me getting the phone.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ccb04:
I wasn't planning on rooting her phone unless I had to in order to update..I'll let you know how it goes..Thanx for your help
[Streak 5 Android Development] Kohawk09:
Ok. Been reading through a few of your posts… lets see if I can shed any insight for ya. First off, you said your device manager only shows usb mass storage when you plug it in? If so, right click and uninstall that from device manager. If its doing that its because your computers are associating your streak with a USB device – so just uninstall it and hopefully it will let you pick the right driver (or show it as an ‘other device’). Another thing to try, use a different usb port.

ADB Drivers – I ran the dell .exe file before even plugging in the streak on my 32bit win7 machine. After it installed the drivers, connected the streak, and success. Another method to try if that doesn’t work for you. Run the exe with the phone plugged in and in fastboot mode. If that doesn’t work, turn your phone on, enable debugging, plug it into your computer and if it pops up under unknown devices or Mobile Devices – right click, update driver, let me find, choose from disk and navigate to the V0P3 folder in the QDL folder and have the driver update using the android_winusb.inf driver. If your sticking point is the adb driver, see this post (if the above makes no sense :P): http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=8214

QDL drivers – when your plugging in your phone to your computer, are you holding the correct up volume? If in portrait, it’s the top volume button, if in landscape, it’s the left volume button. Watch your device manager as you plug in, and see if anything pops up. If anything pops up in device manager other than under other devices, right click and uninstall.

Off the top of my head this is all I can think of… seen others struggle with the above. Getting the drivers installed is the ONLY hard part to all of this… Good luck
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
I'll give that a go tomorrow. Fought with the phone most of the day then went out in the garage and fought with the jeep. I lost both battles today. Feeling pretty deflated..........and a huge headache. I'll regroup tonight and get back at it tomorrow.

Just did a quick read through the link you posted, and it fills in quite a few of the gaps that I was wondering about. I think with that.............I just MAY be able to knock it out tomorrow. We'll see.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ccb04:
Well I got 2.2 to update without a problem. Was working good for a while until I rebooted. Now I'm boot looping after it updated. Just getting a dell logo flashing over and over. How do I fix this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] ccb04:
Okay I reflashed the phone to get rid of the boot loop. How do I wipe data and clear cache on the streak so I won't boot loop nemore?
[Streak 5 Android Development] wj1324:
I think my Streak is ruined after trying this...

I get the the QDL tool part and i am actually following step by step from streakdroid.com what some of you said worked for you on your white dell streak...i get to the point of installed ADB drivers or something, right after it tries to enter fastboot...and it FAILS :( I dont know what to do, i'm stuck. HELP!!!

I'm getting...

Wait for ADB device .........

ERROR[D2]: wait ADB fastboot mode timeout!

Please check that device is exist and driver is properly installed.

Worked for me!

Never had an android device. Just received a Dell Streak as a Christmas gift. I spent today playing with it and learning it. Then, tonight, I figured ... what the heck ... and I did the QDL Tool.

I'm now on 2.2 official.

From AT&T 1.6 official and on-contract. Now I'm on AT&T 2.2.

I don't know that I love the Dell Sense thingy, but I'll try a custom ROM here soon enough. This is with ZERO experience and it worked fine. A little back and forth with the ADB drivers like everyone else, but once I ran through it a couple of times it worked like a charm.

THANKS!
[Streak 5 Android Development] ccb04:
Same here..Had 1.6 at&t..Now running 2.2 at&t..I Had NO problems with the drivers. I think it depends what computer your on. If anyone is on windows vista 32bit don't be afraid!! It was too easy, although I boot looped the 1st time I rebooted the phone. So I reflashed and everything works great now :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] Kohawk09:
Take a look at the link in post 25 - the adb drivers are the sticking point for most.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
I'm getting closer now I'm running into this part. Best thing is that even with this error I can still boot up my phone and continue to use it. So atleast it isn't fooked. Uninstalled the driver for the phone and going to give it a go again after a restart. Good news is...........I'm getting closer.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukemecuke:
lol ended up bricking my phone. I took it back and got a new one. This time they only had black. Oh well. It literally was fooked. I used another version of the QDL tool which I'm never going to do again. Also not going to futz with it until I can get a microsd->SD card reader. I could bring the phone back up in recovery, but didn't have a way to get an img on to the card. Oh well live and learn. Little gun shy now. May wait until after Christmas to start again on it. Been neglecting some stuff around the house the past couple of days, and need to get crackin at it before family comes.

Thanks to jeremyritzmann who spent most of the day IMing with me trying to fix this.
[Streak 5 Android Development] logan.greenlee:
Thanks

Hi all,

Thanks for this thread, it finally fixed my issue.

Basically I tried the QDL tool initially for the upgrade. It did not work for me. Then I tried some other things which eventually led to an inoperable phone looping in a factory rest mode. I suggest not trying the Superoot ROM with new AT&T Dell streaks. I got the flashing buttons issue and there was no guidance on a fix.

I have a 64-bit system so there are a couple of things I missed the first time that I thought I would share.

1) For anyone that has issues on 64, make sure you install the Test Certificate! This is in the Guide section on streakdroid.com

2) Make sure to select the *DIAGNOSTIC* 9002 Driver. There are two Qualcom drivers, one non-diagnostic and the other diagnostic driver further down the list.

3) Driver signing really must be off, but you can disable it after installing the driver and it will still work.

The Diagnostic driver only loads if the device is powered off and the up volume button is pressed when plugging in the USB cable.

Update driver works in windows - you may swap out any driver for your android device just by selecting update driver in device manager.

After I installed the test cert. and tried a "fresh" usb port everything worked fine, without a system reboot.

Thanks for everyone's posts, you all got me out of a jam!
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
So awhile back I flashed TranQ 3.5. SInce then, I flashed other roms and used the system only SBF many times. My problem/question is, when my phone boots up, it still says Tranquility as the first splash screen. How the hell do I get rid of this? lol
[Droid X General] Mortalys77:
You could use the Tranq toolbox to change the boot logo.
[Droid X General] kdkinc:
Or buy their logo tool.

VERY quick and easy. You can then design your own with their guide.

worth the $.99 or so.

:cool::cool:
[Droid X General] baretoes:
What you can do is first sbf your phone using the full sbf file (2.3.32). Skip all the sign-in requests after reboot. Then sbf your phone using the system only sbf file (2.3.34). Once the phone reboots, then you can go ahead and sign-in to your google account and set up your phone. Hope this helps.

I am in need for some despirate help! Let me start first with the problem. I am running CM6.1.1 and am unable to connect to my exchange email. When I fill the appropriate boxes with the correct information, I get an error saying:

"Setup could not finish

This server requires security features your phone does not support"

So my question is what security features is the evo missing? I was able to set up my exchange email without any problems on sense roms.

So now here is what I have done to trouble shoot and alleviate this problem. I have checked both boxes on the setup page "use secure connection" and "accept all SSL certificates" still no go. I have installed numerous different versions including a 2.1 version, 2.2 version, and then 3-4 versions with the security bypass. Still nothin. I have also tried improved email from the market, and you guessed it. Still nothin. lol I just want the stock email app to work for me. I don't mind the security features that come along with exchange either as long as it works.

I was using the trial version of touchdown for a while.. It worked. But I didn't really like the app and I don't want to pay 20 bucks for an email app.

So now Im going for the hail mary... One last try to find someone that may have the answer I'm looking for! Do any of you fellow friends out there know of a possible fix?

By the way I am on exchange 2007.

Thanks for reading!!:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
this is a known error with googles AOSP mail app which CM, MIUI and any other AOSP based ROM uses. currently only sense ROM's (I recommend MYN's,Calks,Fresh) mail app works with additional security features. My suggestion is to either download an app like touchdown (paid) or NAND your CM setup and flash any of those SENSE roms and wait for 2.3 to come out which i believe will work better with secure exchange environments
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrapkgb:
That's what I was afraid of... I don't think I could bear going back to a sense based rom lol... I've been running cm since before 6.1. Im just getting tired of logging online to check my mail! ;) well it looks like ill have to live with it for a little while longer. Thanks for the reply!

no problem, you can't go wrong with Myn, calk or any of the well supported sense roms and you might actually like it :eek::eek::eek::eek: the horrors

[Galaxy Tab General] mathena2:
Hello guys, I'm new here and interested in buying a galaxy tab. I'm definitely wanting to get one with a contract for the data plan for different out of home purposes. I was wondering what your opinions were on which carrier to try and buy from?

I was originally wanting to buy one from Sprint with the 2gb data plan only $30 per month. With me just turning 18 and no credit I'd figure a huge deposit ($500) would be required as about a month ago when I attempted to buy an iPhone. But I tried with Sprint and ended up being approved for 2 lines with a $50 deposit, which I was pretty excited about and preceded to purchase said tab. We get thru with me paying the deposit and then they required a valid credit card to be ran, of course I don't own one myself, needless to say I had to cancel the transaction. Is this the case with all carries as well?

I could probably obtain a valid credit card from my grandmother but would rather not go through the hassle if this is the only carrier that requires this non-sense.

Thanks for reading guys, I appreciate it, any input to help me out here?
[Galaxy Tab General] dh010447:
I would buy from T-Mobile. They are cheaper by $50, have limited international support and T-Mobile newer faster network is backwards compatible with them, so you might get faster download speeds.

Not sure about the whole credit card thing - why did they need one? You could try getting a capital one card, might be lucky...
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
With at&t is not required to have your credit check since you have to pay full price anyway. Now for monthly service you do need a credit card, but all that process is done by you at anytime you want and is done through the tablet itself. The at&t one can also be hacked as a phone if you want. I did it to mine and is currently my main phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] mathena2:
Thanks for the info, I was reading alot of users choosing T-Mobile, so there 4g runs with the tab?

They claimed all they needed the credit card for was to run it and make sure it was valid and they'd just take $1 off it and return it back on it after verified. I'm guessing this is some safety feature to ensure if you don't pay your bill or something they can just charge the credit card? But my bank debit card wouldn't work so I'm not sure.
