Hello, sorry about my english. I bought Dell Streak yesterday, with Android 2.2. Ive tried to update it to version 2.3 via fastboot. I did it step by step, but then i had the dell logo for 1 hour. So i tried it to downgrade back, but nothing is happened. I dont know now which ROM i have to use, i dont know what I have to do. I tried to download and upgrade some more ROMs from this page,i tried to see for some tutorials, but without success. This was my first and last flashing. Please can you help me? I know, that this was a mistake to upgrade it. I would like to official 2.2froyo, than yesterday ...
Because i dont have money for new phone and for dell servis. Thank you very much, thank you. You are my last hope.

It is easy to downgrade or upgrade DS5;
Just flash the suitable recovery for your froyo rom,put your froyo rom pkg to your sd card,then install it from recovery menu.
Thank you very much for your time, but did you see my video? Yes i know, im stupid about this and my upgrade was a fault ... Can you write me, how to do it? Thank you. Patrik.

Ok download the rom package and baseband (recovery.img) from here ROMs. Then you must flash the basebad (recovery.img) use ADB and Fastboot + Drivers guide and after that rename the rom to update.pkg and copy it to sd card and flash. Thats it.

i would suggest you to try my options, just enter fasboot, flash streakmod recovery, download any one costum rom copy to sdcard. Reboot streak enter recovery (streakmod) wipe everthing, flash rom and do double wipe via streakmod & dell recovery. your dell will work, then if you plan to downgrade will be easier. Forget about Pkg, i try my self and its hurt.

oh dear think you need more reading on flashing roms if your asking what is nandroid
Nandroid is a program that is used via recovery mode to back up your entire NAND Flash (i.e., ROM).
"nandroid" --> NAND + Android = nandroid
Maybe this will help? Read the comments following instructions:

yes I can still get into fastboot or recovery mode I tried running some rom's but after the half point an error comes out and aborts the new roms...
If you can get into fastboot and recovery your fine. I recommend the qdl route personally.

Only way to upgrade the white dell streaks is with the qdl tool. Theres something about them... All other methods just leave you in a boot loop. Go to the guide section of streakdroid.com it has everything you need to get to 2.2, including a great video tutorial.

use QDL holmes, or better yet exchange it and get a black one. I could never get the white one to work. I eventually bricked it, took it back and got a black one. Never tried anything with the black one until last night, and it went flawlessly with QDL.

well you are going about this all backwards... first and foremost. You have a white streak, so the ONLY way to get 2.2 is through the QDL tool. Secondly, no matter what color the streak is, you cannot jump directly to one of steves builds from 1.6(donut). You flashed the 2.2 baseband, which is not compatible with your current stock rom, that will kill your data and phone connection amongst many other things. You need to go to streakdroid.com, take a look at the guides section and then upgrade via the QDL tool. That is your only way other than waiting for the OTA.
Hello people, I had my Streak running Android 2.2 and received a notice today that an update would be available. It said Streak_351_15609_00.img.
Now I have a Streak running the official 351 Baseband.
Just wanted to tell y'all.

I'm curious if anyone running 345 has received notification of this update? I'm running 345 and I've been expecting a notification to update but so far nothing yet...
345 shouldnt recieve ota notifications since it wasnt publicly released. Non public roms are usually like that, 305/333/341 all dont have update notices even though they're old.
You have to manually update if you're on a rom that wasnt originally available on the OTA server
Learn something new every day. I thought 345 WAS a public-released ROM but I stand corrected. Thanks for that clarification.
Off to update to 351...
It was (to my knowledge) released by email to specific groups as a hotfix or a test group
It wasnt ever actually ever on the OTA server

You need to flash a stock recovery. Search for the steps, there are plenty of threads that explain it.

Hey guys. I have a question. I have a European Streak, how can I download the latest ROM, stock, without rooting? The currently installed ROM I have, stock without ever reflashing, is bugging me. It crashes frequently when trying to answer the phone. I would like to reflash it download the original stock rom or the latest one. Do I need to worry about compatibility when downloading an OEM rom? Where can I get said ROM as well?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Now, I have one last question. I saw from the wiki page the how to guide, but I'm an official unlocked direct from Dell. I downloaded the 00 of 351. Now, on to the upgrading. Is it enough just to put the Streak_351_15609_00.pkg on the SD card, and rename it to Update.pkg, and then launch into recovery? Or do you know of a guide to upgrade an already factory unlocked streak? I did this once, but A LONG time ago, and I don't remember how. Ever since, I've changed devices a couple of times :s
Thanks!
1. Install PKG Recovery Hash (recovery.img ) 351
2. Streak_351_15609_00.pkg on the SD card, and rename it to Update.pkg, and then launch into recovery.
How do you do step one? :-$

Connect to WiFi
Download the stock rom you want directly to your Streak
When the DL is complete tap on the DL notification in the status bar and it should install
If it does not install, rename the file to Update.pkg and install using the stock recovery.
If the rom does not install with recovery you may have to manually upgrade the recovery on the phone first.
ROM installation HowTo
So the previous posters step isn't necessary (hopefully) because I don't remember doing that step. Regardless, if it doesn't update just by placing it in the update mode, it wont brick it. Will it? That's what I'm terrified of

Never an issue for me, YMMV. When installing a stock ROM the update is checked prior to install, that's why you may have to update the recovery first. If it installs without using recovery your settings and apps will be retained, but some users find a factory reset is required if the updated ROM is acting strange (force closes, runs 'choppy'). I find the 351 ROM to be very stable.
Sorry to ask but I'm also curious about the updating process. I have an unlock O2 UK Dell Streak 5 running 319 and I would like to know if it was possible to update to 351 by putting the Update.pkg directly to the sd card? Or must I flash 351 recovery img first - is this step important?

You need to flash 351 recovery first as your O2 is not compatible with 00 baseband devices..

well i wouldnt want to let acer near it after that! Been a few reports of this happening after 'repair'...
Do you have a custom recovery installed...cwm, twrp etc??
civato has a "Official Acer Stock Roms ICS Rooted" thread check it out. D/L as applicable version and put it on yr ext sd card.
Install via cwm!!!
U do have a custom recovery installed??
If not then you will need to flash the unlocked bootloader
There is a 'tool' to help the process called 'afterOTA'
Personally I prefer the manual method via nvFlash but you'll be fine with afterOTA.
You will need the following:
A PC
A good quality micro usb cable.
The Acer Drivers and adb and fastboot from the android sdk.
Drivers installed correctly
a fully charged or at least 70% battery
the flash itself takes less than 30 seconds
getting set up to do the flash successfully will take al least an hour usually more!!!! some of us have been stuck for days after 'softbricking'- i lie not!!!!!
So take your time read thru the Guides and follow the steps to the letter - good luck
Ok' I'm going in.
.....
No luck I'm affraid, I've tried everything including all the flash tools. No joy.
It won't work with nvFlash or blackthund3r
Will not boot into recovery. I get the recovery verified failed message.
So now I'm really stuck' looking like acer here I come unless anyone else has any ideas?
trying he alternate root method (blackthund3r)
I'm stuck at stage 2 uploading image. does anyone know how long this should take.
sorry to ask here but i cant post in blackthund3rs topic im a noob
