Need help updating DJs Froyo...

[Guest OmegaStalker]

Hi i'm new here so any help would be great, its my first android phone and i'm loving it!

I bought my streak off ebay and the guy who owned it before me already put on DJ's Froyo but i think its V1.1..

Now from what i understand there are three more updates after that; 1.1.1, 1.2, 1.3? How do i update the version? Remember that i'm a total newbie here so a basic guide would help me loads...

I have no idea what i'm doing as never really done the smartphone thing before always been into more PCs...

If there are threads already on this topic please just link them and i'l read them =)

Thanks so much in advance!

This ROM is heavily updated and still being developed at a fairly rapid pace.

The update process is now very simple to do but it does require that you flash a new baseband

IF YOU ARE USING A REBELSIM AND DONT NEED WIFI TETHERING PLEASE STICK WITH V1.1.1 AS FLASHING THIS ROM WITHOUT BASEBAND WOULD CAUSE FLASHING LEDS SYNDROME - AND REBEL SIM CANT WORK WITH NEW BASEBAND AS YET

We now have a nice new website blog for streakdroid - check it out and help me populate the wiki with faqs and get in the forums B) sites @ http://www.streakdroid.com

Most Recent Version: v1.3.0

Known Issues:

Accelerometer is dodgy at times but i cant pin down the issue - usually going into settings > display and toggling auto rotate on and off fixes

-----------------

------------------- Required Files ------------------- http://build2.streakdroid.com/update-1.3.zip http://build2.streakdroid.com/amss.mbn ------------------- Other Requirements ------------------- Some Common Sense Pinch of Good Luck Patience Ability to read and follow instructions Fastboot Setup and Working ClockworkMod Recovery Flashed and working ------------------- Level Of Difficulty ------------------- 5/10 - Mid level, should be simple enough for 95% of users to complete ------------------- How-To ------------- You need to be on v1.1.1(download: http://build2.streakdroid.com/update-release-1.1.1.zip) with 2.1 baseband For this to work ideally - this may work from older versions but this procedure has only been tested from 1.1.1 THIS INVOLVES A WIPE OF ALL DATA ON DEVICE SO PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP FIRST 0. Copy the update zip to your memory card first 1. Reboot streak to recovery: do this by turning off your streak then holding down Vol up + Vol Down as you press power, keep volume keys held until you get to a menu with 4 options 2. Select the Option number 1 which is called FACTORY RESET using the volume keys to move the selection and camera to select your streak will reboot on its own after this. 3. Allow streak to boot to ui - this will take some time 4. Power down your streak and boot into fastboot do this by pressing power until the keypad lights come on then HOLD camera until you get to a white screen, then tap on the fastboot text in top right corner, 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 Windows:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

Linux

fastboot flash amss amss.mbn

6. Type the following commands to reboot your streak - again alow it to boot into the main ui - you will lose network connection for the moment, this is fine, also streak WILL reboot twice before booting, again this is normal Windows:

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Linux

fastboot reboot

7. Once your device has booted shut down again and boot into clockwork recovery by doing the following

boot to recovery as per step 1 then choose option 2.

8. Flash the 1.2 update zip

9. reboot

This can be rooted using universal androot but could take 2 attempts

hiya,

yeah i'm new to android & older to PCS

what you actually have to do to make stuff flash is basically PC like (& you do it on your pc), but the actual mechanics of droid are still totally mystery to me ;)

basically yes (once you've set up the c:\streak folder with the stuff in it you use that again & again)

or wait a bit cos the offical build has just come out & there's bound to be unofficial roms which are better than those currently available

give it a week...

you said (i think, i've read a lot of posts today) that you already had a version of 2.2, so you're already on the good stuff
