Hey! Remember towards the beginning of the month when we reported on the release of the Dell Streak Pro's kernel? Well, here we are in the second-to-last week of February with yet another release of . . . something.
Normally, we're pretty good at identifying what files are that have been released, but these ones have us stumped. In fact, our good friend Giveen, who sent the tip, didn't know what they were, either.
If I had to bet on what it is, I would place my money on the files being an updated version of the kernel that we saw earlier this year. But honestly, I just don't know. If you'd like to help us figure out exactly what these files are, just leave a comment and we'll update the post with a great big thanks from the team here at StreakSmart.
The files are listed below – just click on the filename to commence the download.
Update: Themanii gives a great explanation in the comments. Thanks for the answer!
[OpenSource_Release2.sbm71.tar.bz2 | OpenSource_Release2.emo62.tar.bz2] Thanks, Giveen!
Looks like they are kernels of some sorts
emo is presumedly stands for E MOBILE, a carrier in japan
sbm is presumedly SoftBank Mobile, the original launch partner for the 101dl (which still hasnt launched, it’s nearly a full month late)
The device tags are possibly:
MILLM1A106217 for the emobile one and
MILLM1A107112 for the softbank one
if you plug 062 into dell’s ota server, you get this:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/LandingPages/StreakPro/eMobile/uptodate/en/index.html
which is a brand new carrier region (17)
0xx ones so far have only been assigned to prototype roms, they have no reason to release it if it’s a prototype rom as it’s not required for GPL complience (you only are required to release the code to the audience it targets, unreleased software = unreleased source)
It’s just speculation though, the dir structure is
streak_pro/emo/v0.62/
streak_pro/sbm/v0.71/
(device)/(carrier?)/(version)
where previously it was
(device)/(version)
