Dell Streak 2.2 Hyde's V 1.2 ( or 1.3) Upgrade Help Mac OS X

[Guest Shadowfactor]

Hello,

I have recently switched to using a macbook Air instead of a PC due to my dell laptop being stolen from a home breakin :rolleyes:

I'm currently on Hyde's froyo V1 for my ATT streak.

I'm trying to upgrade to Hyde's froyo V1.2 or 1.3 which ever is more stable and allows for downgrading once the Offical Dell ATT 2.2 comes out in december.

The part I'm having trouble with is Part 5

"5. Connect your streak to pc - the text on streak should change to FASTBOOT_MODE.

you should place the amss.mbn file into the same folder as fastboot on your pc

run the following commands from command prompt on your pc"

Exactly what would I do to for this part since I'm on a mac ???

Thanks!

Hey,

Open Terminal from Spotlight and navigate to the directory that has the fastboot-mac and the file you're trying to flash.

If it's the amss file do the following:

./fastboot-mac -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

./fastboot-mac -i 0x413c reboot

^ This will reboot your device so you can enter recovery mode. Hold down the volume buttons until the recovery screen appears.

If fastboot-mac gives you an issue and doesn't want to run do the following:

chmod +x ./fastboot-mac

You should be good to go.

This is going to be a dumb question but where do I get a mac version of fastboot ? is there a special version thats for the dell streak and macs ?

Thanks again!

there should be a file in one of the r1-xxxx-recovery files. You need fastboot-mac

If you need a copy, here you go: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8327131/fastboot-mac

I got it. Streak is installing Hyde's V1.3 update. Hopefully all goes well.

Thanks for the help guys!

chmod +x fastboot-mac

./fastboot-mac -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

Type those commands in a terminal window. Make sure both fastboot-mac and amss.mbn are in the same directory.

Got it working. Although it seems pretty slow when using Dell Stage UI. Is there any way to speed up the UI by tweaking the build.prop or something along those lines
