Guest PaulVlagsma Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Froyo on Streak working FINE (using Wifi) with O2 locked Streak in Sydney, AU. Froyo on Streak working FINE using Virgin Modile 3G/H in Sydney, AU. 20 mins fiddling with Qualcomm drivers on Windows7 64 bits (thanks Dunhamzzz) with different USB ports, then 85 seconds QDLtool.exe upload. Both Streaks booted in less than 2 minutes. Install of 2nd Streak took less than 5 minutes total! flash, flash, flash, run. And froyo is FAST. Thank you, DJSteve!

Guest Johnston411 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 after a couple of hours use it seems to be a very impressive first froyo :) only bugs i've come across are the swype keyboard not swyping and the auto rotate not working occasionally (only needs a reboot to fix. Anyone else got the swype issue or even a fix? Nice work Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spacecat46 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 IT WORKS!!! expect a fix soon... Thinking of doing this tonight, is it about the same as upgrading from the 1.6 unlocked dell uk to the 2.1 6941 rom.......or is it harder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twe Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 IT WORKS!!! expect a fix soon... Sounds good :) Did you modify the rom or the firmware on the rebel simcard? Think I will still wait a little longer, as this is my main phone and want it stable, re the random reboots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnston411 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I think it's a swype build included with the streak, maybe reinstalling the beta would sort it. the one i used previously worked a treat in 2.1 but i can't remove the preinstalled version so i can't install it. i'll have to brush up on adb and see if i can remove it that way.

Guest homeiss Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) As others have said. I noticed last night while trying to install apps, some are not showing up in the market. For example: Google maps, skype, fring, nimbuzz, etc. Other than that I've had no problems. Edited October 8, 2010 by homeiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alkiera Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 US 1.6 (6601) Streak. Flashed the 3 files after doing a Nandroid backup. Did not do the baseband thing, wanted to check out FroYo without doing something I don't understand and possibly irreversible to my primary cellphone. Phone would not boot, even given 5+ minutes. Normally phone lights buttons, then solid Dell logo, logo flashes once, then goes to animated logo. With Froyo images, after the button lights, there'd be a white flash at the bottom of the screen as the solid Dell logo came up, and then it'd stick there. adb would not recognize the phone was connected, not sure how to figure out how far through the boot process it was, other than I never got the flash in the logo, or the animated logo, to come up. Will it boot without the baseband update? As a side note, I'm running the recovery image off Paul's link here. (Tried a bunch of others, none of them worked) Don't know if that matters. Finally gave up, booted to recovery and did Nandroid restore; for some reason phone was back to first-boot state; no google acct set up, all my wallpaper/widget settings gone, old SMS msgs cleared, etc. Is this a normal result of Nandroid restore? It was... unexpected to me. Didn't lose much, had apps backed up via Astro, got the rest of what I needed through AppBrain, which is awesome. I'm pretty much an Android noob, but I'm a technical person, software engineer by trade. I'm not as comfortable working this close to the hardware, unfortunately. Any ideas?

Guest RedSlug Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Having a hell of a job installing the drivers. Tried using a WinXP machine (I have Win7 normally) and after turning on the Streak with the vol up button pressed, windows pops up a windows asking to install the drivers, it wont find it automatically and whatever folder I browse to, windows says it cannot install the driver. What is the right folder? I have.. C:\streak\streakflash\streakflash\Driver\Driver_2.067\Win32\WinXP or C:\streak\streakflash\streakflash\Driver\Driver_Android_V0P3\WinXP\i386 But either way neither folder would work. ----- On my WIn7 machine, the machine just beeps twice and does not ask me to install anything.
