I had such a blinks while i did for the first time upgrading to custom ROM but it blinked for just 3 times twice thats all. If you follow my steps to upgrade the ROM i hope it wont blink and wont have any problem for any one. Because i spend lots of time and collected all the information needed to upgrade my streak. I did researched for whole one day to find the dell streak ADB driver and collected all the steps that is easy to help other fellow mates to have a recent upgrade to their Dell Streak.

And I formatted my dell streak with same steps for like more than 6 times already and never had any problem. And couple of time i did with the streakmod and didnt had problem as well. I think this is the easy and detailed information to upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.3 without any problem. I saw lots of problems and lack of information in others post. So, i decided to post a detail and easier steps so mates with dell streak can enjoy the gingerbread 2.3.3

All the best guys with upgrading

im an amatuer wid android n after all the hesitations i had to upgrade . finally did it...
thanks to ur step by step procedure...i got stuck in ur step 5 6 and 7..
i found out a simplier version for those who dint understand that ..if it is of any help



Press Shift key and from right click menu on anywhere on the folder (on empty space without selecting any files or folders) open a DOS command window on that folder. Or Start menu > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.


Now type 'cd C:\streak'. Type "dir" and you should see all the files and folders in C:\streak. Type 'fastboot' and you should see a list of command options.
type 'fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img' without the quotes and hit enter. You can see that your DS screen shows the response. (Make sure that the DS white screen says 'download done' or something like that.)
type 'fastboot -i 0x413c reboot' without the quotes and hit enter. This will reboot your phone. Now on rebooting, immediately enter to recovery mod (hold both volume buttons while powering on).

Best installation Step for Any Rooted Dell Streak regardless the region

YES!!!, YOU HEARD ME RIGHT, WITHOUT USING ANY RECOVERY, WORKS FOR ANY, AGAIN ANY ROOTED DELL STREAK 5 REGARDLESS YOUR REGION...:)

1. Download Multi Recovery flasher.

2. Download the Streak_407_20707_14.pkg, yeap! Recovery image not needed

3. ...now rename the PKG file to Update.pkg and copy to the root of your SD card.

4. ALSO, create a folder name LOST.DIR , all uppercase... in the root of your SD care, if there is one there already skip this step.

5. now restart your Dell streak and hold the volume up and down button to get to recovery menu. choose 2nd menu i.e “Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card” and press the power button.

6. Now the decryption process. It gonna attempt to install the update and hence fail. Don't freak out. Now boot to phone normally and connect it to your PC. access your SD card and go to the LOST.DIR folder, you should see a white file with no extension with a randon digit name. example 553, file type - "file" (decrypted pkg file)

7. Now rename this white file to Update.zip, then copy it to the root of your SD card.

8. Now shutdown your Dell streak and boot to fastboot i.e power button and camera button, it should take you to the famous white page. flash Streakmod recovery using the Muitl-Recovery flasher you downloaded.

9. Phone should restart at this point, hold Volume up and down button to get to recovery menu...select Select upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card and press the power button again, this time you should get to black screen with dell logo and a caution sign.

10. Select update Zip from SD, select choose Zip from list...scroll to the "Update.Zip" and select that..installation should commence and with 10 minute you are running Olleh Gingerbread. Factory reset and select English at the first time android screen ( click language at lower right hand of the screen)

11. Leave many thanks if this works...let me know if you have any questions

Hey Radimus...

Did you know that you could decrypt .PKG files and convert them to .Zip file so they are flash-able through Streakmod recovery? I figured out the trick through my dell streak... it works.;)

If thats the case, then it means you need to install dell android adb driver on your pc so your pc can detect your dell streak through the multi-recovery flasher. Search on google for it...or check dell.com technical help for handheld devices...you should find it there as well.

    in regards to your Dell streak restarting or freezing after installing olleh

    Glad to know the procedures worked for you. And I understand you seem to have restarting issues or perhaps freezes. Well, here is what you need to do. Boot your device into the strained recovery I. The screen with the caution triangle sign next to the Dell logo. Scroll through the menus and wipe Delvik cache, wipe data...and finally do a factory reset using Dell recovery (important) which is found at the the screen you get to when you restart the device and hold the volume up & down buttons together. Hope the helps. Let me know...yeah!?. Hospice. Cheers
