DELL STREAK Froyo Build Beta - Version 1.2.0 Released


Recommended Posts

I finally made 1.2.0 to work!

1. downgrade the baseband and flash 1.1.1

2. after 1.1.1 is fully loaded and working go back to fastboot and flash the new baseband

3. immediately after reboot go to CWR and flash .1.2.0

4. DO NOT wipe or clear anything!!! The Rom will boot after a minute or three

I did it that way and it works normally now! All the lockups and slowness was related to the /DATA partition not used!

BTW this build gives lower scores in quadrant!

Hi stephen,

is the factory reset necessary with the new baseband update rom?

I downgraded the baseband to the 2.1 amss and now it will not boot to the dell logo to do anything... I think it may be dead Jim....

well if im using my linux box im running the newest android sdk adb which iirc is 1.0.29 or .29 - haven got system running at min to check

edit: i would heavily suggest EVERYONE having problems with downloads/fcs/lockups downgrade back to 1.1.1 for the moment the 2 files you need(update zip and 2.1 baseband file) are linked below.

update: http://build2.streakdroid.com/update-release-1.1.1.zip

2.1 baseband : http://downloads.streakdroid.com/testing/amss-2.1.mbn

Tried baseband link on firefox and IE but getting page cannot be found error. Anyone else having problems?

Edit found it now http://downloads.streakdroid.com/testing/

Stephen do you have a clue why would the DELL Recovery work ok with the old baseband and 1.1.1 but fails with the new combo?

go back to 1.1.1 ?

Do I need to just pull out the SD card and copy the files over to reflash?

probably because it wants the newer recoverydata too - ok ive just gone from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0 without much issue

any brave soul who wants to be tester for my instructions drop me a pm - MUST BE ON 1.1.1 with 2.1 baseband

Just did this exactly as you described and market seems to be working normal so far. Just installed several apps and widgets. Everything so far is working normal.

Noticed the only bug that I've seen so far in this release: either I've lost radio sensitivity after the baseband flash or it is requiring some kind of calibration.

I had full GSM bars prior to flash and now show almost no signal.

And on WiFi use I can no longer get signal at the other end of my house where previously I had full signal.

Other than that it's brilliant as always. :)
