So downgraded baseband

Flashed "recovery.stock.new.img"

Reset into revoery, selected option 2

everything seemed to be going fine except no change in status bar

then got an error "E: Can't read update.pkg (bad)" something along those lines...

Has dell messed this up again?!

Same here. I have used the 4399_21 recovery - which is a different baseband.

I am now trying to download direct to the phone via the update site URL and see if that makes a difference...

Else, anyone got a more "packaged" _00 recovery rather than the dance with file permissions and stuff ?

I've downloaded the pkg file using the link provided...what should I rename the file to?

I have a EU Unlocked device - 00 baseband

update.pkg if that fails try Update.pkg (with cap U

So can we extract the .pkg and make it a .zip to install the same way as your froyo roms?

Have you successfully installed the update!?

i had it running a day or two ago for a bit, same crap stage etc also. and you cant extract the pkg eaisly nor could an update.zip flash it properly due to needing new baseband -the official build is not rootable by androot either ill tel everyone that dell have deliberately locked it down alot heavier (it is rootable but not so easily)

staying on your froyo btw B)

I just want to tinker with it a bit... see what took dell so long to mess it up.

Typical Dell! The locking down game is always a losing battle for the manufacturers...

My download has just completed so I'll rename it as you advised and give it a go but I wanted to know whether I face the risk of bricking my Streak? I understand the baseband is to do with the radio signals so with that in mind wouldnt this be applying US signals to a UK phone resulting in a non-working phone (in terms of calls etc)

no the radio chip in streak is quadband so would work anyway (cant change the nature of the chip as its part of the snapdragon soc)
