Since there's quite a bit of confusion out there about which versions of the Dell Streak can make use of the currently available official Android 2.2 update, I'd like to use this post to compile what I hope will become a definitive list of upgrade success stories.
Obviously, if your Streak gets the official software update notification, which is only being rolled out to unlocked devices right now, then you will have no problem running through the update process and installing Froyo. All you need to do is follow the on-screen instructions and you should be golden. For eager Streak users who don't want to wait for Dell to give them the update, however, a reference list of which versions have been able to install the update manually should be helpful.
It's very sparse at the moment and based solely on my own personal experience and the comments left on StreakSmart, so please help me beef it up by letting me know the following information if you have successfully installed the update:
- Your country and carrier (if any)
- Streak's original OS and final two digits of baseband (00, 21, or 31)
- Any other ROMs you installed
- Last OS and final two digits of baseband of your Streak immediately before successfully installing the official Froyo update
I'll update this post accordingly.
To keep things as organized as possible, please do not leave a comment asking whether the update will work with your particular version, how to get it working, or anything else that does not pertain to a successful update. All known versions that can install the currently available update will be in the list.
You'll notice right away that a 00 baseband is generally needed to install the update (not surprising considering that Dell has released the update exclusively for unlocked devices); there are some other variations (e.g., many people have been able to install it right over the O2 2.1 update with 21 baseband), though, so I think the list is still useful.
If your original baseband ends in 00, you should be able to visit this link from your Streak (or download the update package directly) and install the update without issue. Other users may have to install the update manually.

wow Jenn thanks for all the work you have done. This definitely clears things up.
Thanks Jenn,
I am currently on the O2 band 21 and using the rebel sim 2 for Australia carrier.
It looks like I need to wait for the official update or update now and change the baseband to 00 but would need the rebel sim 2 updated too….which is in beta….
I was successful in going from Stock AT&T Locked 1.6 -> 1.6 O2 (4399) -> 1.6 O2 (6267) -> Official Froyo.
Thank you early adopters
After watching the horror stories on Xda, Modoco, I think I’ll wait another week or two for the OTA update.
I’ve been hacking windows phones all the way back to the old Dell Axim PDA, but the droids sure are a pain to hack.
To be honest, once I did Steve’s first Froyo, it’s been a cakewalk (no pun intended). This last update to his 1.4.1 from the Official build took no more than 5 minutes total. It’s all about paying attention to details, navigating questionable documentation, and feeling comfortable doing it in the first place.
I’m from australia. used the link listed. downloaded the data. but after pressing the install button i got an error message and was gone back to 1.6
tried to reinstall but could find the file in downloads
now i am out of data on my mobile
have to wait till the end of the month
I’m starting to think that the new white streaks atleast for ATT running 1.6 require different procedure. I have tried everything, and am sure I am doing everything correctly, and still get hit with error messeges. After a bit of research I’ve found that the only people who experience it is people with the new white streak. has to be a connection, and fucking sucks.
Glad it worked out for you
I depend on my phone for business, and can’t be without it, plus, next week being a “short” week, I’d prefer to not have to be without my streak during the holiday. After using the HUGE screen, going back to a 3-4 inch screen would be a crime LOL.

Sydney, Australia:
Unlocked UK 1.6 original (GAUSB1A111100-EU Build 6767).
Download took too long via Streak, so ended up downloading direct from the Dell site shown earlier, and installing manually.
But it was worth the wait…and Swype takes some getting used to, but is great when you’vehad a bit of practise.
Completely understand. I still mock my wife’s teeny-tiny iPhone screen, especially when I play Angry Birds! Happy Thanksgiving! I’ll be able to give AudioGalaxy a four-hour test as we drive to Galveston TX on Thursday!
I am LOVING Swype as my default keyboard!
anyone having a bit of issue with unlocking the screen by swiping? sometimes i try to swipe to unlocked and it just doesnt work like the screen isnt calibrated or something.. i end up having to put it in silent mode then i can swipe it back to normal mode and then i can swipe to unlock…
anyone else having this issue?
Hey Rocky. Where exactly did you get yours, I did not know it’s available in the philippines.
Hey, that’s cool I live just outside Galveston.
And it’s sad that I actually mock my friend’s 4.3″ Evo’s tiny screen now lol.

I have US base band ending in 31 running 1.6 im guessing that noone has heard anything on it as of yet
got it from sulit.com hes a great seller.
he have a galaxy tab available today!
Vijay.no need to wait till the end of the month. I did mine manually through jenns instruction on her previous post.works awesome.you may need to reset to factory default after installing them to clear any data that may conflict with the previous build.that s what happen to me.btw im from australia and I got mine unlocked from optus too.
baseband at 00 – Like walk in a park, my baseband ends at 700, the official OTA update does not work, but when I used the ’100 baseband download upgrade link. everything went very smoothly..
Can anyone tell me how to do videocalls to non fring users(network video calling) There seems to be no option from the dialer to do that. I was able to do that before from my legacy nokia 5800 phone.
Thanks!

Im from Sweden! and i have the ulocked one. Cant upgrade. it says somthing like this: E: cant read sdcard/update.pkg (BAD)….
Someone know this?
Yeah.
How big was the update File?
148MB?
It’s too small.
You need the 150MB one.
Can you give me please give me a link?

Bulgaria (MTel)
Unlocked, Stock 1.6 (00 baseband)
So what I did…
1. Downloaded the 150 MB Streak_309_0_00.pkg file on my PC then moved it to the Streak’s sdcard/download folder. (It takes too much time to download the update file on your Streak via WiFi. I’d advice to use a computer instead)
2. Ran the .pkg file
3. Tic-tac on the clock the installation doesn’t stop … in 10 minutes I was ready to face the official Froyo … with bugs
4. After the installation had completed and the phone started, I got this ugly error message “The application calendar storage (processcom.android.calander) has stopped unexpected.. blah blah blah”. I closed it but it kept appearing every ~5 seconds. Since I had nothing to lose(just a few games) I decided to go “Factory reset”.
5. Another anoying thing is the “AccuWeather” widget on the home screan. It doesn’t work properly saying “Getting Location…” and no info.
Now I have a brand new Dell Streak with the official Froyo. It looks fresh and cool. So far so good.
… and the baseband version … I’ve got a brand new baseband version GAUSB1A130900-EU. The old one was GAUSB1A111100
Mine worked like charm. For some reasons, contacts have not been restored else I love Dell Streak with Froyo.
Unlocked UK 1.6 original (GAUSB1A111100-EU Build 6767).
I am really excited.
Thanks a lot Jenn
Mine too, maybe it is normal (Bulgaria – Globul)
I changed the url on my dell streak to a baseband with 00, I am assuming that once its downloaded (Im on G) it will run fine?
Perhaps people could make it clearer whether the update was automatic (i.e. notified via OTA with a version number in the update url matching your baseboard) or manual (you changed the baseboard url to get the update meant for the US beta units).
Hi jenn, just a minnor correction…Holland and The Netherlands are the same country
this is exactly the path i am planning on, only thing is, im having trouble locating the download for dj_steves froyo build v1.4.1, can you please point me in the right direction?
Any word from Spain yet? I will get mine tomorrow, I would put if I was lucky or not …
I have a US beta, I am now running the offical 2.2 froyo. However, it took some teeth pulling to get there, and bricked my 32gb micro sdcard in the process. BTW I ended up downloading directly from the dell website. Two things to note… The Facebook widget that comes with 2.2, crashes everytime I try to open it, and Not really sure if I like the 2.2′s keyboard (I wish you could choose between 2.2 and 1.6 keyboards).
http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/322298/streakdroid-froyo-v1-4-1-announcement-thread/
First page. I asked Stephen to create a new thread for 1.4.1 but he just edited his 1.3 page and updated the info. You’ll only need the 1.4.1 zip file if you’ve already done the baseband update.
Does anyone know if it is possible to extract the 1.6 keyboard from the Dell stock image as a stand-alone APK so it can be installed on other OS versions? I am waiting for the 2.2 OTA update and do want to loose the keyboard with keypad.
It’s not sad – it’s fun!
Hi CarlXS
From The Website DELL or manually.
Thanks.
From my Streak by downloading the rom on mobileupdate.dell.com /? version = GAUSB1A110100
Jenn,
Thanks for the complete list, but wouldn’t it have been easier to just say that everything seems to be upgradeable EXCEPT US 1.6 (31 Baseband) to official Froyo updagte?
Am I missing something?
Hi, Mitko.
Filename: Streak_309_0_00_1.pkg *150 mb* is this ok.
Thanks.
yes-yes-yes!!! *22-11-2010* this is DELL-Streak day of the year.
Filename: Streak_309_0_00-1.pkg works perfect. Theaks Dell
Yes, but people would still ask about their particular country and version, which is the reason I started the list in the first place. I am hoping that this will eliminate the need to answer the same question multiple times.
That would have been my point as well. Rather to be exhaustively comprehensive than leave things open to (incorrect) interpretation.
Thanks for catching that! I have just been adding everything as quickly as possible.
Mitko – Regarding #5 – Did you check that location services are enabled? Not sure where the settings are in 2.2, but from 1.6 I’d say enable “Share with Google” (in Security & Location) and enable “Background Data” and “Auto-sync” (in Data synchronization). Hopefully it’s just something simple like a setting and not an actual bug.
I like the stock 1.6 keyboard as well. Most of the reviewers that whined about it also complained that the Streak was too big to hold as a phone and too big to fit in a pocket. I find having the numbers separated to the side in a numpad much faster than reaching and scanning a 4th or 5th top row.
I’m still on 1.6. If anyone can tell me how to extract the keyboard, I’d be happy to do it.
Thank for a great website and the update. I love my “new” dell
hi rocky… are your 3g, call, working on att after you update to from
Stock 1.6 (31 baseband) -> leaked O2 2.1 (21 baseband) -> official O2 2.1 -> all early versions of DJ_Steve’s Froyo build -> DJ_Steve’s Froyo build v1.3 (00 baseband) -> official Froyo update -> DJ_Steve’s Froyo build v1.4.1
So what will your device show up in the baseband in settings after you upgrade to DJ_Steve’s Froyo build v1.4.1
Haha my friend’s Galaxy S might have it’s super AMOLED but next to my Streak, it’s a little hard to take it seriously
Yes, everything is working fine. Baseband is now GAUSB1A130900-US.
I updated my Streak to 2.2 from 1,6 unlocked AT&T USA, baseband 21-US, version 6601……and now my device is locked with Dell logo in screen and do not start. I think that need downgrade to 1.6 factory.
Any idea for my problem?.
I’m starting to wonder the same thing. I have a white Streak on AT&T that I just picked up the other day, and I can not for the life of me get it to update to the 02 1.6 build. It will load halfway into it through recovery mode every time and then it just reboots into the stock 1.6 US build it came with. It’s quite frustrating as there seems to be no information about it and everyone that has run into this problem gets ignored on the forums.
I am having that exact same problem, its like the touch screen just stops responding and always on the unlock swipe. I was thinking of calling dell about it…have you heard of a way to fix it?
how did you do the update to 1.4.1, did you just put the update package on the sd card and do the update the via the recovery thing, im trying but i get a verification failed, on the new baseband with the official 2.2, is there an easier way, can steve give us the boot and system imgs, to do via fastboot like i did the 2.2?
The “AccuWeather” widget started to work properly. I’m not quite sure what settings have been changed but I’m sure those two settings(“Background data” & “Auto-sync”) were checked. Now they are UNchecked.
Hi CEAVI,
The filename hasn’t been changed. It’s still Streak_309_0_00.pkg
Here is the full path:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com//PackageProductionLocations/Streak_309_0_00.pkg
not yet, the way i go around it is by putting the phone on silent via holding the lock button and selecting silent mode and then i can unsilence it by swiping left annnnd thennn i can swipe right to unlock.
Great work Jenni, This helped me to go ahead. Successfully updated my original French (Phonehouse) 1.6, that I had taken up to the O2 2.1, now to Dell 2.2. and I love the new version: Swype, Skype, etc. I do not, however, like the Sense UI, so have installed the alternative from the Market – great to be able to configure the home pages at will!

Stock 1.6 (00 baseband) -> Updated sucessfully to 2.2 (but the facebook & Twitter icon) can’t access. Nobody knows?
Just got my OTA update to my UK unlocked direct-from-Dell:

Hey guys i have the o2 leaked 2.1 version running baseband ending in 21 any ideas on how i can get on froyo? And which one is better dj steve or official froyo?
Cheers
i have updated my dell unlocked to 2.2 with ota, im from Spain and i had 1.6.
P.D. the first time i rebooted the streak after the update it did not start so i had to retire the battery, now it works ok.
same here. I am on my third one now. Cause they kept getting stuck in the dell logo boot up screen.

Hi, Mitko.
I Download File: Streak_309_0_00-1.pkg and install it, and it works.
Thanks, Merci, Bedankt, Danke, For helping.
Merci, CarlXS pour ton aide.
Arrghhh! Have a US Streak device but was traveling in Canada when I received a notice: Upgrade Available message. I followed the instructions… and now have a Streak with 2.2… but it’s acting quirky! I can make and receive phone calls (and texts) but I cannot access any browser sights or use Google Maps. When I try re-logging into Google, I get a message that says: Cannot connect to Network.
Have no idea what to do. Phone is essentially useless to me without being able to access e-mail (corporate or personal) and use Maps, etc.
Any suggestions?
I have a similar problem… after updating to 2.2 I get no data coverage. I was running US 1.6 AT&T… did you get any resolution?
This is also something interesting. Everyone that I’ve read about having problems with flashing 02 1.6 where they actually were doing it correctly has had a different issue with it once they select Update.pkg in recovery mode. Some, like yourself, get stuck at the boot screen, others get error messages, and then I just get it to load halfway into the 02 ROM and then it reboots on its own like nothing ever happened, with no error messages or anything.
I highly doubt I’m doing anything wrong at this point as I’m actually getting to the screens I’m supposed to and I’ve tried 3 different update.pkg and recovery.stock.img files all for build 4399. It just won’t load past halfway without rebooting on its own. My friend who is more experienced with Android has also gotten to the exact same point on my Streak using his computer and files he downloaded. Neither of us can get it to go past half way.
Austria, GAUSB1A111100-EU… still nothing. NOTHING! UP-TO-DATE!!!
Dell, you really annoy me…
Hey Jonny,
Sadly, no. Same as you… as I was 1.6 on ATT. Maybe when the dust settles and things are working as advertised, I’ll see the benefits of 2.2. Frankly, I liked 1.6 fine. I liked the status bar… as it was easy to access various setting components without having to click thru the settings modes.
Called Dell Cust support… but can’t locate my Service Tag so suggested I access the Manual thru the Dell Support page. Nothing there really helped. Guess I’ll hit the IT group up when I’m back from the holidays!
Hope you have better luck!

Australia – baseband 00 (the numbers before the 00 starting with GAUSB were different the one in the URL for the download; something like GAUSB1A111100) – build 6267. Unlocked but with Optus. Bought from Mobicity. Probably from France or Germany. Downloaded the file, changed name to Update.pkg (with capital U), restarted phone with power on + volume up and down buttons pressed, chose update. Froyo is a world apart from Donut!!

After the manual 2.2 update I fixed my data coverage simply by doing a factory restore.
I don’t know if you tried this yet but it has worked for me.

Anyone upgraded to 2.2 with the above Baseband. I bought my Streak in New Delhi…
Thanks,

Correction – it is GAUSB1A121100-EU – unlocked unit….
Thanks
Thanks Johnny,
Thought about it… but I haven’t synch’d my pics, music, and downloaded apps to my PC. Assumed a factory restore would blast all that stuff away.
Did you synch that stuff to your PC first? Did you have to reload all your apps, pics, music?

GAUSB1A111100 can be updated via setting -> about device -> system updates as of this morning.
It’s cause the phone has been in your pocket. it discharges it or something.
two things to help the problem:
1. press and hold the green lock… wait for the dot to appear and with another finger press the dot. then release the lock while holding the dot.
2. hold the power button till the phone options menu appears then hit the back button…
It appears to be a design defect and the reason Dell used the menu button to unlock 1.6
Done….using the link below from Streak….

Thanks
I’m new to updating smartphones and the like, so please, forgive my ignorance. My question is: is it necessary to have my stock AT&T locked streak unlocked by AT&T before I have my cousin attempt to upgrade to FROYO 2.2? I simply want the AMOLED keyboard since I really don’t like the stock keyboard. The details of my Streak are as follows:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: GAUSB1A111231-US
Kernel version: 2.6.29-perf
OEM Version: GAUSB1A111231
Build number: 6601
I apologize if this is a repetitive question, but I don’t want to brick my phone. Thanks for any help you can provide.
i meant the swype keyboard not amoled screen….
LOL
Thanks…
If you use the QDL tool found on streakdroid, it will install a pre-release FroYo build from Dell. It will change your baseband to the 00 unlocked baseband. From there, you can Google the GAUSB1A131800 build and install the Official Dell 2.2 ROM. The whole process takes about 20 minutes start to finish. Make sure if you have the white Streak to follow driver instructions CAREFULLY.
