Guest somaj3 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I just purchased a Dell Streak from Best Buy and am using AT&T as the carrier. The Android version is 1.6 . I tried using the "check for updates" option in the settings->about phone section but it says no updates are available. I also have not recieved a notifacation for the update via the OTA update. So is there an issue here? How do I get the 2.2 (Froyo) version of Android? :D Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be renamed to update.pkg and copied to the root of your device's memory card. 2. Turn off your phone and restart it by pressing and holding volume up + down buttons and the power button. 3. This should take you to the recovery menu where you can select option 2 to do the software upgrade from a pkg file # The camera button is used to select items in the menu After upgrading the phone will do a factory reset and 5 or so minutes later you'll be up and running with Android 2.2 (Froyo) Zac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zaque Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Most awsome, worked like a charm. Thanks! Happy to help.

Guest JustinTX83 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I've tried this method as well and had no luck. I have the Update.pkg sitting on my sd card, and now my phone is telling me there is no update available! Any ideas on how to get this working? I get stuck on the Dell splash screen every time the phone reboots to install the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't messed with any other way to go around the standard procedure yet. I'm just trying to get the stock ATT update to apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zaque Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 do you think it is possible to install streakdroid 1.9 this way No that different. You need a custom recovery such as StreakMod Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326 Then follow the steps on the Streakdroid page to install it. http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-str...r-release-post/ If you check out Youtube, you might be able to find some video tutorials that will walk you through the processes.
