Guest andycqos Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi GriZlore and rebski, I have an AT&T streak personally. I don't know first hand but I don't see why you couldn't use the O2 4399 to O2 8105 guide. You should be able to use a stock recovery to to flash from 6941 straight to 8105, but we won't know until someone reports it here. So if anyone has done it or does do it, let me know and I will update guide. Hi kostaver, I think you can use the O2 4399 to 02 8105 guide but, it WILL change your baseband from 00 to 21 if it works. I don't know of anyway to get back to the 00 baseband. If someone finds the EU 4399 Update.pkg it should also flash the 00 baseband. If someone has any insight into this one, let us know please. Thanks! There is already a thread on here about going from 21 back to 00 ... here I havent tried it, so cant vouch for it in any way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest krrrk Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 thank you so much for the quick, clear guide. if an idiot like me can go from 1.6 to 2.2, anyone can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest homeiss Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi Homeiss, one final question then: changing baseband (from 00 to 21, for instance) what does it mean in practical terms? Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. Kostaver Actually after thinking about it, if us AT&T users have to flash to O2 1.6 4399 then upgrade to O2 2.1 8105 ROM, I think you will have to flash to the O2 1.6 4399 first as well. So, you should be able to use the Upgrading from AT&T 1.6 (build 6601) to O2 2.1 (build 8105) guide. But again I am not sure! Someone else might know? I'm not entirely sure what a baseband is? But it seems like you should be able to get back to the 00 baseband with the link posted by andycqos. There is already a thread on here about going from 21 back to 00 ... here I havent tried it, so cant vouch for it in any way! Thanks for that!

It will fail the first time then try again and it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coz i found the lcd 2 b running on 140 now , b4 tat was on 160 , the patch turn it into 140 Hello, I'm totally new to this, very interested on upgrading my Dell Streak but found the following inf.: - Android 1.6 - BASEBAND: GAUSB1A110100 - KERNEL VER: 2.6.29-perf - OEM Version: GAUSB1A110100 - BUILD NUMBER: 3562 Can I still use this guide as to flash to O2 4399 and then to Android 2.1, after this to Froyo ?

Guest TData Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) So I've made it to 2.1 (8105) from a stock ATT 1.6 When I attempt to flash recovery.alt.zip the commandline on my XP machine says writing 'recovery' ... OKAY but the streak gets stuck on Start writing RECOVERY I have tried using recovery.zip and get the same results. I used the reboot command while the streak still said start writing RECOVERY. I'm going to try a reflash of 2.1 then recovery.alt.zip and let you know if it works. When I reflash the recovery-clockwork-streak.img it writes succesfully but as you know- I get hung on the black screen after selecting "update from Update.pkg on SD card" Any advice? 2.1 boots fine and is so much faster than my 1.6 was... So I used the clockwork version from this post #4 in this thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-str...y/#entry1433478 and was able to get FROYO on there! W00T!

Guest Gcontr1 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hello Homeiss, I live in Austin and bought my streak from one of the Dell guys, so most likely a US Beta, any one has experience upgrading following this guide ? , By the way it does need the upgrade, Build 3562 is the oldest I seen in any tread, it is slow and hangs once a while,, recommendations are very welcomed.

Guest ukbambammatt Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 So following the..... Upgrading from O2 2.1 (build 8105) to Stephen Hyde's 2.2 .....all my apps and music etc should reappear once upgraded? Last time I seemed to lose apps and music that wasnt on the SD card obviously. Whats the best way to make sure I retain them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the best way to make sure I retain them all? No, your apps wont be there and any music not on the SD card will be deleted too. Others recommend Titanium Backup for backing apps up, but I had mixed results with it going from 2.1 to Stephens first 2.2. Ive taken a new backup on 2.2 and will see how it goes when upgrading to Stephens new version of 2.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. You will probably be able to follow the AT&T 1.6 to O2 2.1. Report back if you get it upgraded. another thing... the default keyboard is different to 2.1... any way to revert ? Not sure about this one, but there are lots of different keyboards in the market. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
