I had to go to Best Buy today because the phone reps screwed up my account when I bought my Streak in December. They changed my unlimited data plan to a 2Gb/mo plan. They claimed AT&T required it. Yeah right.

Went to the AT&T store to straighten it out which they said they would. Said the reps selected the wrong option. I asked them about the 2.2 upgrade, and of course they know absolutely nothing about Streaks, or upgrades. They had no clue if the OTA upgrade comes from them or Dell.
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
O yea its all on AT&T. I say the unlocked on with froyo rocks. (i just got mine a week ago) AT&T doesn't want all the features i assume. (Tethering, HSPA enabled,& etc.)

[Streak 5 General] maan1976:
hahahaha you're so funny , everybody seen this , you gotta be from a different planet if this email is a big news for you ! geeks everywhere and dell have been saying that jan 12 is the day of the froyo release , and obviously At&t put everybody down by only announcing the update , without a real update , this is to increase their sales around the Christmas and the new year season , be smart , use your brain and look at the big picture
[Streak 5 General] trexc832:
Death to AT&T .....lets all eat their children.....I want my damn update.....
[Streak 5 General] scaronscar:
Wow I can't see why you all are waiting for at$t do it yourself I did it why I found out that we wouldn't get the update in December like they said first.... Qdl if the fastest and easiest way.... Iv done it 2x now and the second time took five minutes if that....
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
Seriously, qdl is the way to go. You get the OFFICIAL Dell Froyo rom, just not the AT&T version, which will not have wifi tethering, all the apps in the store etc...

You are likely just waiting for a version that is less than the one you can get from Dell right now.

I still may try the AT&T version when it is released, just by flashing back to 1.6 then checking for updates, but probably not. I bet many of you will get the unlocked rom after using the att rom when it is released because it will just have more features.

I quit waiting for AT&T. I love my streak!
[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
+1 I don't know why people are still waiting.
[Streak 5 General] stormtrooper1:
I was gonna wait but I said the hell with it and did the QDL. Best decition ever. So far I have been learning about roms, tweaks, and customizations on my streak. I'm so glad I didnt wait for the so called release whenever that will be, but instead used the time to learn and do it myself..... By the time it's released im sure it will be as old as 1.6. Do yourself a favor and Update it yourself and get yourself mastered at all this modding + flashing. Thats the reason I left the Iphone because I dont want to hang on Steve Jobbs nuts till he releases a new firmware.

With Android... Im a free man with a Wicked Fast Streak.

[Streak 5 General] kellglo:
Ok I think that I will give in and try my hand at the QDL update this weekend. Can anyone tell me if there is any negatives doing the update this way? There seems to be a couple of different ways to update. I want to update so that is the official froyo 2.2. Can anyone provide a link/links to the easiest and fastest way to do this update. I am running Windows 7 64 bit, if that matters. Thanks
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Look a couple of posts up, I put the link to the QDL video/download, along with the update after you do the base qdl update.

[Streak 5 General] nimdivino:
Hey guys,

I want to do the QDL and update to the official Dell 2.2 since we have no Froyo yet. If I could ask you guys couple quick questions.

I have Windows XP Pro 32bit at home, do I still need to install the ADB driver?

Can I return to 1.6 factory settings? You're probably wondering why would I do that. I am currently "borrowing" this streak from best buy and basically testing it out if I like the 2.2 on it and the AT&T service. I have an HTC EVO with Sprint but my experience with the Streak and AT&T isn't bad at all.

Thanks guys
[Streak 5 General] maan1976:

[Streak 5 General] sukemecuke:

[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
then you deviated from the instructions or had a bad internal SD card?... QDL is THE safest way to upgrade. Follow all instructions to the T, cannot stress that enough and everything will be fine. I would never consider the QDL route to be 'unsafe', as with absolutely anything, nothing is 100% safe. Hell, the official O2 updates screwed up more phones than the QDL tool ever will.
[Streak 5 General] stormtrooper1:
I totally agree with this.... The QDL Tool is practically automated and will do its job perfectly as long as you follow the directions to the T.. If you dont pay close attention to detail, thats when you can screw things up.

Im running Windows 7 x64 bit and alot of people on this forum is having issues with it but im not having any. Just follow the QDL video process and tutorial and you will be fine. Trust me...

[Streak 5 General] jpb2187:
What are if I have mac or linux... anyone have any ideas on how to update to 2.2? I would really apreciate some help.
[Streak 5 General] sukemecuke:
lol so after I complained about bricking my phone on QDL I went and tried it again. I am now on official 2.2 in a matter of a few minutes. It was a little different and QDL didn't work the first go round, but now I am on it. Tried the system update and it just hangs even when connected to wifi. So I guess I am at the max point at this time.

Also no longer have data connection. So some settings must be pooched.
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
just type in the 318 update link into your streak browser, that will update you to 318. check out your APN settings regarding your data connection...
[Streak 5 General] sukemecuke:
yeah didn't have any APN settings. They are now fixed and data is back. It's quirky as hell on the 2.2 that QDL gives you. Slow as fark as well. I have exchange back thank goodness. Where would I find this 318 link you are talking about?
[Streak 5 General] stormtrooper1:
Congradulations on the QDL. Wasnt so hard huh? Now all you have to do is go straight to 318 via OTA and you will be solid. For a kicker...then flash the 318 Performance update zip. and you will be doing backflips :)

Thank you to everyone on this Forum, Just did the QDL thing and bam!!! Got my 2.2 on my streak. I'll be honest I was scared for the bricking but everything went smooth. Again thanks for all the help :D
[Streak 5 General] sukemecuke:
Will it actually install that way once Dled? Or do I jave to do the fastboot mess and install it by renaming it update.pkg?
[Streak 5 General] sukemecuke:
Ok. So all I had to do was dl it and then click on it. It installed all on its own. No fastboot or anything. So where am I at now, what did that give me? Is there another? I'm like an addict now.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
According to the link of streaksmart.com, the delay from at&t will be "a few weeks longer at least". at&t says they are "commited" to making sure the release is good to go on at&t's network, but, that means to me they haven't locked out all the good features, or added enough "value added software" (bloat) yet.

I gave up on them in December and did it myself.

[Streak 5 General] technillion:
As I understood it, ATT was phasing out the UNLIM data plans as of last year. They are forcing folks to choose between the 512MB, 1GB or 2GB monthly data options at a slightly lower cost when folks renew their contract. If you don't renew it to a NEW 2 year contract, you can stay on the UNLIM. That would mean you have to buy all future phones UNLOCKED or from anywhere OTHER than ATT direct.
[Streak 5 General] sukemecuke:
That's not entirely true. Keeping unlimited was the only way I would have picked up the streak. If you had unlimited you can keep it. When I went to best buy I made it clear I was just upgrading my device and not my plan. They cawked it all up but called AT&T for me while I was in the store and they put notes on my account to return it back to normal. Quick call to AT&T and I have my unlimited data back for $30. I also only paid the $99 for the phone. So I didn't have to pay the inflated price.
[Streak 5 General] brianlp:
Looks like they fixed it.

The top line was what they changed me to, then canceled on Wednesday.

The 2nd line is my new data plan, which is what I had all along.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkethicx:
Greetings everyone. Reader for a while, but this is my first post, and unfortunately it's because I'm quite sure I should be preparing a burial plot for my phone unless someone can help.

Here's the situation:

I installed the Cyanogen Mod beta on my Vibrant and it was pretty cool, but I couldn't get passed the gps and video recording (I was warned, I know, but I wanted to try it anyway). This was not the first rom I had flashed, and was familiar with CWM and ODIN, so this was not a problem for me. I wanted to have something working so I decided to go back to the DeOdexed JL5 rom, which I was running before, so I went into ODIN to restore back to stock before flashing, and it hung up after clicking repartition. I pulled the battery on my phone, and when I went to put it into Download mode again, it wouldn't go into it. Hell, it wouldn't do anything.

How totally screwed am I?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
the phone won't turn on?

try plugging first the usb then hold the volume buttons then put back the battery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkethicx:
That would put it in Download mode. It won't go into that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
you can't put it into download mode?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkethicx:
Nope... =/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZachLL88:
did u take the sim and ex sd card out, than repeat?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkethicx:
Yeah. Always did before I tried putting it in download mode out of some (probably irrational) fear that they would get wiped as well
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
There have been a handful of others recently who have had their vibrants in the state where they aren't booting, aren't even showing a charging icon when plugged in. Persistence is the key. The steps posted by iynfynity do work, even from your current state, according to the individuals who have found themselves in the same state lately, no power, phone doesn't respond to anything. You can find these posts around these forums here at xda. Keep trying, if you get frustrated, walk away for a little bit and try again later.

-Remove battery and all cards, have odin open, files loaded and ready to go.

-Plug in usb, holding both volume, pop the battery in

Again, persistence is the key, and a little patience doesn't hurt either.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
I can vouch for that... I always used the 3 button combo and had this happen. I tried everything. I even have a replacement sitting here still in the box not opened. I tried 1 more time with just pulling the battery sim and sd card out, plugging in the usb to pc, held down just the volume buttons, plugged in usb to phone, put the battery in and right to download mode.

I'm keeping my old phone and sending the replacement back..This one just won't die... : )
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkethicx:
Thank you, you lovely gentlemen. Persistence and patience was key. I'd pretty much given up all hope on it once I plugged it in and it wouldn't even pop up with the battery charge indicator.

I wish I was more patient because I already bought a Captivate, rooted, unlocked, ROMed it. Oh well at least now I have a backup phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Glad you got it back up at least. Hopefully your captivate wont start shutting itself off when your battery gets below 85%, as many others are plagued with, if it does though, you have your backup.

[Captivate Android Development] shadowscreation:
i dont think this has been posted if so let me know and i will retract this.It is just i think the quickest way to get to a new rom while flashing back to stock first.

disclaimer:this is for people that know what im talking about. If something happens to your phone it jumps off a cliff and laughs at you or anything else i am not responsible.

alrite as usual you should have already backed up all your apps, have your new rom on your internal sd card, and odin up and ready before this.Alright so here it is i have 3 button combo working on mine if you dont use adb i guess.

Pull battery insert battery hold volume up and down and put in cable from computer to phone download mode.It should pop up press start on odin. Now wait for it to say reset then wait for the boot animation of the signal bars right when those pop up before the sound even. Now pull battery insert battery hold up down and power button untill att pops up twice.Then select reinstall packages (this is if you already have the update.zip on your sd card for cwm if not dont bother) it will reinstall clockwork mod recovery (sometimes you have to push reinstall packages twice it just depends). Almost done now just do as normal install zip from sd card select the rom of your choice and then yes(install whatever rom your wanting to flash ) then bam your done no needing oneclick root dl rom manager instal cwm from there no need to even look at it...

and there you go done in 10 min i do this everytime and have never had any issues EVER im just trying to make flashing a new rom quick and easy and id love to hear your feed back

My "10 min or so..." ROM Upgrade Guide

Backup apps/data using Titanium Backup

Remove all garbage folders from internal SDCard

Odin back to stock.

Insert <AWESOME ROM XX> onto internal SDCard

Use the update.zip for CWM when rebooting into recovery. (Reboot into recovery - run the update.zip - reboot again into CWM)

Install <AWESOME ROM XX>

Sign into Google and have it replicate contacts etc.

Restore Apps/Data using TiBu.

Usually takes a little more than 10 minutes due to backup/restore of TiBu - but the actual Odin/Install new ROM part takes under that.

But this isn't for those new to flashing - beware that this process can screw up forcing you to ODIN - and if you didn't keep a copy of your TiBu restore somewhere other than your Internal SDCard you'll be fubard.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
@ avgjoe This is about it. But I would add one suggestion which will help out a ton with Odin.

[*] Ensure you have a good usb cable. Make sure to wiggle the cable. If the the phone loose connection to the pc while wiggling cable save your self 20 minutes and get a good cable.

I have 5 cables. Best to worse...

- 1 BlackBerry Cable ***** Best for me. I trust it. No connection loss

- 1 Stock Jabra Cable **** Worked good for me. No connection loss

- 1 Ericson Cable shaved *** Tight fit. No connection loss

- 2 Samsung stock cables* What was Samsung thinking

This is my experience. I remember the first time I flashed my Captivate. I felt sick and I blame it on my cable. I barely touched my phone and I heard the beep-beep from my pc when it detected the USB was detached and re-attached. Atleast bricking a Captivate is better than bricking a Tilt2. :)
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
An even faster ROM upgrade guide:

-Boot into CWM

-Wipe data and cache

-Install ROM zip from SD

If that fails, try again or:

-Odin one-click (or Odin to JH7 for certain batch 1010 Captivates)

-Enable debugging and sideload z4root. Permanent root.

-Install CWM using ROM Manager or manually with the update.zip

-Follow three steps above this section.

There is usually no need to go back to stock between flashes (and there are more serious risks [soft-brick, hard-brick, damaged bootloader] from a bad Odin flash than from a bad CWM install [fc's, stuck at boot logo]). Wiping your data and cache partitions (and making sure you disabled lagfix if not supported by the new ROM) should be sufficient.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
It's a rather easy process, done it like 3 already. What I hate about going back to stock using Odin is that I always have to this:

Enable USB Debugging

Root the phone

Log in so I can use the market.

Download Rom Manager, Install CWM

Reboot to stock recover.

Apply package

Apply package again.

Install new rom

I wouldn't mind but the whole process until you are finally able to install the new rom takes at least 10 minutes of tapping and typing. It's rather annoying. I'm not complaining though...

you never have to log into your JF6 stock rom if you odin back to stock. you dont even have to boot to it. just keep the update.zip from CWM on your sdcard and boot into recovery...reinstall packages, and you are in CWM..flash your ROM, and enjoy
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Nobody master clears anymore?? I do, and never have a single issue or FC. It just takes an extra five minutes to do the MC and then let the phone boot and transfer ROM of choise as well as update.zip for CW recovery to the root of my sd.

nope. i never do any more. sometimes i have to flash back to stock, when i have a broken flash, but i still dont master clear. you dont actually gain anything by master clear, since it just wipes your internal sd...

>>[*] Log in so I can use the market.[*] Download Rom Manager, Install CWM

you can skip that step by simple "recycling/reusing" the recovery-update.zip from CWM. Download it once and then save it on your external sd and your pc.

When you want to use another ROM you can reuse the recovery-update.zip .

Just rename it update.zip and then reboot recovery and then do you thing.....
