DELL STEAK - VOLUME BUTTON NOT WORKING

[Guest vinay.yvk]

This guide will assume you're running O2 1.6 (build 4399). If you're not, then go to my other guide here and follow it to either go from AT&T 1.6 (build 6601) to O2 1.6 (build 4399), or to downgrade from DJ_Steve's ROM or from O2 2.1 (build 8105) to O2 1.6 (build 4399).

To get the Dell Official upgrade.pkg to install you must be running the 00 Baseband.

1. Download this zip file which contains a recovery for downgrading here.
   
2. Move the recovery.img file to wherever your fastboot.exe is.
   
3. Put your Streak into fastboot mode.
   
4. Open up command line type: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.stock.new.img
   
5. Once it says it's done writing type: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot in command line.
   
6. Root your Streak using Universal Androot found here (you will ptobably have to click "Go Root" twice to get it to work).
   
7. Now download RootExplorer from the Market.
   
8. Download Official 1.6 (6267 Build) from here.
   
9. Rename the file to Update.pkg and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
   
10. Dowload this file and put it on the root of your SD Card.
    
11. Download this file and unzip it to your SD Card.
    
12. In RootExplorer click the Mount r/w button at the top. Then copy the files you unzipped to the same place on the Streak (etc to /etc, system to /system).
    
13. Now download a Terminal Emulator app and type: su
    
14. This will give you superuser abilities and then type: flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
    
15. Reboot your Streak and let it boot back into Android.
    
16. Reboot your Streak While holding the volume keys down and then apply the update from sdcard.
    
17. It will take a while to install and boot.
    
18. Download the newest build of the "Official Dell 2.2" from here.
    
19. Rename the file to Update.pkg and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
    
20. Reboot your Streak While holding the volume keys down and then apply the update from sdcard.
    
21. Again, it will take a while to install and reboot, but when it does you should be running Dell's 2.2 (11548 Build) with the 00 Baseband.
