Guest gl4swegi4n Posted September 4, 2010 Report Posted September 4, 2010 I downloaded the update and now my streak won't boot up properly. It says "Android system recovery utility - GAUSB1A110421. To perform an emergency software recovery, you will need to insert a microSD card containing an update file. (/sdcard/update.pkg). To download an update file, and for further instructions, visit http://support.dell.com. Press the Volume down button to power off. I have downloaded the update via my pc and I want to transfer it to my sdcard but the problem I have is opening the pkg file. If I just drag and drop the whole downloaded file it seems I'm only transferring a shortcut onto my sd card, so I really need to be able to open it. What do I need to do? or what software/program do I need to open it?

What do I need to do? or what software/program do I need to open it? get the official 2.1 package here : http://mobileupdate.dell.com/LatestBuild/D...structions.html then press begin download, once it is downloaded, right click and press open containing folder then just drag and drop it to your sd card but be sure to rename it to Update.pkg then turn on your streak while pressing volume up down simultaneously then select update. that's it. :P
Guest gl4swegi4n Posted September 4, 2010 Report Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) get the official 2.1 package here : http://mobileupdate.dell.com/LatestBuild/D...structions.html then press begin download, once it is downloaded, right click and press open containing folder then just drag and drop it to your sd card but be sure to rename it to Update.pkg then turn on your streak while pressing volume up down simultaneously then select update. that's it. :P I did everything you said and I keep getting the same message. Is it possible that when doing the original OTA update that I have a corrupt file or something on my SD card that is stopping it from working?. Is it safe to completely blank my sd card then try dragging the update onto it? When I right click the folder it says open with? and I don't have a program that will open it so I'm just sending the whole file to removable disk(k) which is my sd card is that right?. Sorry for so many questions but my streak at the moment only serves as a paperweight at present Edited September 4, 2010 by gl4swegi4n
