Flashed wrong version of Superboot. Help please!

Basically, to bit the context of why I have a new dell streak, I had one on Steve's 1.8.1, but, cracked LCD screen, and got it repaired. (For free! thanks o2!)

Anyway, I flashed the dell streak (which, now thinking back was the official 2.2 update), with superboot from the .zip 'r1-3883-streak-superboot.zip' Which is the obvious wrong version. Me being an idiot. Anyway, stuck on the dell streak logo now, and although I tried a factory reset, I'm not sure what I can do, (I have no clockwork recovery mod)

Any thoughts? Such as, how to remove superuser, or the correct build for the official 2.2 o2 software. (I think the build number is v11548)

Thanks

- Andy

Also, I know now I should have used z4root, or SuperOneClick, If i can get it back to normal, I will use one of these routes!

indeed, the "superboot" method just replaces the boot image and adds the SU binary and "superuser permissions" app directly through recovery, the problem with this is that there would need to be a different "superboot" for every rom version, otherwise the kernels will vary....

To fix - I would find the recovery included with the dell 318 2.2 build (the official 2.2), use fastboot to flash that recovery. then get the 318 update.pkg file on the root of the SD card, make SURE its labeled "update.pkg" hold both volume buttons, go to "software update" and run the update.pkg, I think it will do a factory reset by itself, so you SHOULDN'T need to do that, but I suppose I would keep it in mind if you have any troubles after flashing.
