Hey everybody
LETS WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE THE FIRST CUSTOM ROM FOR THE DELL VENUE We need a good rooting software and a decrypted UPDATE.pkg. Everybody knows that the Dell Venue uses FASTBOOT like the Dell Streak so the procedures should be the same.
Good rooting software: SuperOneClickv1.5.4-ShortFuse
Dell hasnt released update.pkg for Venue. If someone knows how to pull the file from the phone then we can make custom rom.
Also, Venue doesn't have the fastboot mode like the one in Streak.
Sent from my Dell Venue using XDA App
Yes the Venue uses fastboot
fastboot
fastboot enter...
Venue's power supply on when holding the Volume down key.
Enter Fastboot
I found out you can get to the fastboot menu by:
Holding both up & down volume while turning on the phone.
Release power like normal while continuing to hold both volume buttons until you reach fastboot.
Now all we need is a custom rom to install via update.zip...
And also, u can hold the down volume while connecting the phone to usb charger. You'll see a custom recovery from Dell with a LOT OF OPTIONS like earase partitions, battery settings and other that i can remember
I will post some pictures soon
can someone help to create the custom rom of dell venue?
custom rom and kernel please
a custom rom and a custom kernel would be awesome. Dell's official 2.2 rom is too stinkin slow. For a phone with this kind of specs, it is way slower than similar spec'd phones
I tried to get the source code from Dell.
In Venue-HOW-TO-BUILD.txt, it's showing that part of venue are built from android donut. And I can't find "source tree of android froyo from Qualcomm"

Good rooting software till now is Gingerbreak.apk

just search for ginger break in this site and install , then click root ............wait for sometym and ur phone will reboot ....................and u r done. tym takes - 4-5 minutes without fail
I tried Gingerbreak 1.20 apk. didn't root my venue (tmobile froyo 2.2.2). But I did not leave it running for 4+ minutes. Will try again tonight.

Nope, left gingerbreak running for 30 min. just sits and spins.. nothing doing on 2.2.2 dell rom. I am talking about 2.2.2 on Dell venue (not Streak, gingerbreak works fine on Streak).
worked on my venue,glad to get rid bloatware
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
Superoneclick 1.54 worked like a charm, much easier to root the Venue than the Streak 5, IMO. (AT&T)
Now I just need Gingerbread on the phone and ill be even happier. Love the device tho, I have been very impressed with Dell running Android, much more than I have been with HTC.
Wish my Streak 5 extended battery worked on the Venue, that upset me. I have this $50 Dell rebate card that came with the Venue, I dont know what to get.
Unlocking and Rooting Dell Venue 7, 8, and 10
Dell has released instructions and files to unlock bootloader and root the device. I have linked the parent directory, you will also need "Intel Flash Tools Lite" (it says OS required in Ubuntu but you can find the Windows version online as well - I use Win10 and it worked fine). Follow the instructions in the .pdf provided from Dell and when it says to run the commands in the Ubuntu terminal just use elevated command prompt in windows, the adb commands are the same.
**IMPORTANT - Device has to be FULLY charged or Flash Tools will show it as not detected during flash. You have to follow step 1 and 2 of the process flashing the opensource firmware then use adb to sideload the OSS .zip. Obviously ONLY download from official links I have provided below. The first one is an official linked from Intel on this page: (I am new so it won't let me link, but just add https: in front of links)

Hi there,
I own a nexus 7 (2012 version) and it's now in a weird condition.And to be honest I must admit that I think it was my fault because of which my nexus 7 is in this state.
So let's come to the problem and let me explain you all what exactly happened.
I was on stock 4.3 and I tried to root it with the rootkit selecting 4.2.2 as my OS even when I was on 4.3.So it did the process but afterwards when I checked with superuser it said the tablet is not rooted so I left it and later I unlocked it's bootloader and installed cwm recovery touch.Then I wanted to get tablet mod on my nexus 7 so I followed guide here-> ( can't post the link,just search on google for nexus 7 tablet mod,it's on wonderhowto(dot)com named Warning: Your Nexus 7 Tablet Is Not Actually a "Tablet" (But Here's How You Make It One) ) but I never noticed that it was for android 4.2.2 while I was on 4.3,I tried to flash the zip and it said all done! I rebooted my nexus 7 and it was stuck on "x" logo,I wiped data and cache but came with no success,later I went into advanced setting through cwm touch and did some mounts/unmounts (I don't remember which one) then I formatted /data /cache and everything else.Now the device is stuck on google logo and one more problem is that none of my PCs/Laptops recognize it,it simply shows MTP USB DEVICE device driver installation failed,I tried to install drivers manually and now my nexus 7 is listed as android device in device manager but I still can't access it's SD card so that I can copy a ROM.I tried different computers and laptops but no success.
So I wanted your help and if someone could install cwm touch on their nexus 7 and tell me what is mounted and what isn't,I would appreciate it.
Please give me some solution so that at least I could relock my bootloader and claim my warranty.And if anyone knows how can I get my device recognized again on my laptop/Pc,kindly let me know.
Regards-
Suyogya
Use fastboot to install new recovery, then boot to recovery and use adb sideload to install ROM & gapps

Now that you know more about your device, let's root it. But before we begin;
DISCLAIMER: I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU CHOOSE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THIS TUTORIAL, YOU ARE ACCEPTING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY HARM THAT MAY COME TO YOUR DEVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BRICKING YOUR DEVICE.
There, now we got the legal out of the way, let's begin.
A few prerequisites:
a) Make sure your tablet is fully charged
b) You will need internet connection for the first part (obviously)
c) A USB cable
d) All drivers for your device installed on your computer.
Find out how to do that at here
Oh, this will work only with a windows PC, as I have not yet found the MAC OS X version of the tool. I will update when I find it.
[EDIT AS OF 6TH-08-2014]
Go to this thread for the new more established tool, Kingo Android Root (It's in English)
Else continue this guide to use the chinese Vroot, which also works well.
[/EDIT]
The process is as follows
1) Enable USB debugging in your developer settings. If developer options is not available, follow this link to find out how to get it
2)Download the tool from here
Now we begin the real 'work'
3) Open the tool (it'll be in .exe form)
It will run an update to a newer version, restart itself, then update databases, at which point it will restart again
4) Connect your device via usb to your computer
If you've followed all the steps correctly till now, it should detect your device and show you that it has done so.
5) Hit the root button
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS
6) The tab should now reboot.
7) At this point you can go into play store and install superuser or super su
Find out the differences between those two here
Vroot installs its own root manager app, Kinguser, so they aren't really necessary.
That's it, you're rooted!
Optional:
You may download Root Checker just to make sure you're rooted
Please remember to hit the thanks button if this helped you.

Hi all,
I recently got a new Dell Venue 7 3740 (yeah, not my first choice, but it was free for buying a computer). Anyway, started reading up on how to root the thing. I have a couple of apps that require root.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/development/guide-how-to-root-android-4-4-4-dell-t2918427
and also the main Dell page: http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_7_3740_Merrifield/developer-edition/
Following Dell's guide to rooting appears to NOT root it. Installing Root Checker confirms I don't have root. Unbricked it and got it back up from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. By reading the first guide for the 3840, my question is ...
Is the boot image linked there compatible with my 3740?
(yeah, I know this should be in the developer section ... unfortunately I don't have enough posts ... also, I am familiar with rooting/flashing/etc, my first device that I put CM7 on was the original Galaxy S1 ... and I have CM10 on my S3.)
Tried, failed
Yeah I got this tablet with a PC too and tried rooting. It FUBAR'd on me and I had to wrestle with unbricking it. Which sorry to say is a job and a half, the images on Dell's site are corrupt for this WiFi only version (no partition.tbl file, system image incomplete). Ending up downloading the LTE versions firmware to get the missing files and rewriting the batch as the file names for the fastboot commands were wrong too. And even then the tablet wouldn't boot, so I had to store the OTA on an SD card and use recovery to flash it. Unfortunately that leaves me with 4.4.2 and the dreaded clock and browser issues. And OTA doesn't work, it keeps saying no updates are available. Spoke with a Dell rep who said OTAs were suspended and to try again in a week but I think OTA was broken for me when I tried rooting and boot loader was unlocked (which the PDF on Dell's site warns you about).
So now I have a working tablet that skips hours ahead and has general stability issues.

Hmm ... Interestingly enough, I ran through the unbrick procedure from Dell, and didn't have any issues with it whatsoever. I'm not sure if they updated the TGZ since you updated.
I have read that root is for ADB to start with. Can anyone confirm this? If so, then which package could I get for a superuser binary?

I did this process just a couple days ago so everything I pulled from opensource.dell was current. The unbrick tgz on the site shows up as 128mb for the wifi only A1195 and the A5195 shows as 821mb (odd). When I extracted the tgz it said "unexpected end" or something like that on the system image. Then again when I extracted from that extracted tgz.
Following the root process initially worked and the temp cwm recovery let me flash the supersu update. It booted with su just fine and I tried a couple apps that needed root and they worked. Once I rebooted again the tablet showed up with a USB icon and would go no further. Never having dealt with Intel SoC drivers it took me a while to get them installed properly, and then I eventually understood what "full power off" meant lol.
Do you know how I can relock the bootloader and get OTA working again, assuming I'm already on 4.4.2 from the OTA zip installed via recovery?
Thanks.

You better redo the unbrick procces cause as you are now, you won't be able to update your tablet and 4.4.2 has some issues with the clock and browser. The best way to root is by thetered cwm, I did it and it's working great.

This is quite odd. From the documentation, it appears that the A195 is for the LTE version, and the A150 is Wifi only. Since I have the 3740 Wifi only, I only pulled the A150 version.
The Unbricking process was very straightforward and everything went smoothly, and after it rebooted, it prompted that there was a system update from Dell, and that took me from the 4.4.2 from the TGZ, to 4.4.4

I see it now, I think I was misinterpreting the above statement which means I've been flashing the A195 rom this whole time. Thank you all for your help! :good:
After getting my 3740 back to "Unbricked" mode, and OTA upgraded to 4.4.4, it appears that I'm completely locked out of the rooting process.
I've tried to start over with the Dell info (unlocking bootloader), however, neither of my PC's will detect the tablet when using xFSTK (one PC - Win8.1-64bit, other XP-32bit). The tablet IS detected, however, it appears that the drivers are no longer correct(?).
I normally run Ubuntu, and thats where my Android development setup is on ... I see that xFSTK is available for Linux ... has anyone used it? or would I be better trying to fight Windows?

It is mentioned somewhere that the 3740 and the 3840 use the same firmware. Assuming that, what you can do is download the latest SuperUser zip, copy it to the internal or external storage, then use THIS, or THIS to root through CWM.

I'm curious as to what it is you're trying to do. Why do you insist on having a developer's root (just the use of ADB shell), as opposed to full root flashing SuperSu from custom recovery?

I just want full root.
Most of the info that I've read on here and elsewhere are geared to the 3830/3840. Not as much for the 3740. So, by playing with the device and learning what works/doesn't work, possibly others may find this info useful to them.
I've been having issues seeing the device from XP, Win8.1 and Ubuntu, in the 'off' state of the tablet, when the PC should be seeing the merrifield. Just this morning, after bricking it last night, I discovered that my PC seems to see the device right away if I press Vol+ while plugging in the microUSB. (again, something that may help someone else) I was planning on double checking this info later today, to make sure that it wasn't a fluke.
I do appreciate both of the links that you've posted in this thread, and I will check them out. Of course, both are labelled for the Venue 8, not the Venue 7 that I have. Since I've gained knowledge on the unbrick process I feel more comfortable trying them.
I've installed (or tried to install) SuperSU from the Play store, but it didn't appear to help much, since I didn't have the custom recovery setup at that time. I'll work on that tonight.

A quick word on getting the device recognized in off mode, what worked for me was it needs to be completely powered off and nothing showing on the tablet screen then connect and bring up the device manager. Whatever shows up needs to be "Intel SoC" so change the driver to that if needed. When flashing firmware to unlock the bootloader the device's boot screen will show an "Intel Inside" logo instead of the normal "Dell" logo. I ended up running xFSTK commands in advance (they'll wait) and then running over to hook up the tablet (powered off) via USB as for some reason it'll show up and then I hear "da-Dunk" in Windows (device disconnected) after a short while which interrupts the process (same with fastboot commands). This was the unbrick process in a nutshell for me and I'm leaving it now as is (OTA'd to 4.4.4) until hopefully the supposed update to Lollipop comes around and maybe some progress is made on rooting it.
Hope this helps you!

I have finally settled down and got the tablet rooted. What's really odd, was Win8.1 kept losing the proper driver. I'm not sure exactly why ... but suffice it to say, I got it working. It did appear to be more stable when I hit the Vol+ and plugged in the USB, but then again it may have been a coincidence.

If you follow the link to dell open source, they do have a detailed PDF download for unlocking the boot loader etc. The file was too large for me to upload on XDA. I just found it today while I was researching how to root this tablet. I have not had a chance to try it yet.

That doesnt work for 3740 lte. I;ve done everything that was in PDF. OTA image should be with unlocker bootloader and root but its not. ;/
Its adb root not su big difference

I'll try to get as straight tot he point as possible.
Been using my Mobile one touch pix 7 for a little over a year and always installed Ota updates. Well I rooted the tablet not too long ago, forgot which method I used, but was working fine.
an Ota update came through and totally forgot it was rooted, and tried to install it, at which point the whole tablet got bricked.
It ended up in recovery, and I selected due to failure, to format and wipe the data.
Anyhow, The unit will stay at the boot screen for a while then show command error and then show the recovery screen, my only options are:
reboot
update from sd card
update via adb
update via memory
reboot Bootloader
power off
Well I've tried updating by downloading system images via adb, they return a verification error.
I've tried using adb side load to try to install an Ota update file I found for it, returns a verification error.
I cannot get into download mode, fast boot mode I think does not work as windows reports 3 android devices, but the mobile update software cannot see anything, and fast boot gets stuck at waiting for devices.
I suspect the tablet is for lack of a better description totally bricked and just a paperweight.
I am at a loss of what to try from this point. I'm sure wiping the data after the failed update killed it completely but not sure.
Anyone have any guidance here? I've downloaded a few images from the web I found that say they are for this tablet model, but still getting verification error.
Is there any flashing software I can get that may be able to access the tablet or can I copy a file to the scared and have it try to run an update from there. I don't care if it is rooted or not, just want to get it usable again.
I can run Mac OS, windows 10, windows 7, windows xp, or even have no issue getting a linux version going, whatever will work best for this I can use it. windows 10 I was able to manually add the drivers but windows 7 is not letting me do it the same way. I can connect via adb sideload only, no other adb functions seem to work.
I'm not a total news when it comes to custom rooms, as I have done it with another tablet, and an android car radio, but those were pretty straight forward and bootable so never ran into a brick issue yet.
I have a feeling this is toast and I hope that is not the case.
If anyone here can help out, I would appreciate it.
Thanks again....
Need help here to. Been searching with no luck. Any my issue is.
Rooted kingroot, flashed twrp with flashify and now I'm stuck on twrp. Been searching for any custom stock rom. I forgot to unlock the bootloader but I did enable usb debugging (i didn't see any oem options).
Any k 28532Jonsunf of help would be greatly appreciated.
This sorta happen to me. I rooted pixi 7 with kingroot, and was able to delete a lot of bloatware. However, when I was using lucky patcher it pretty much messed up the play store. But it was fine. I could download stuff through the Internet. But sooner or later I needed to fix it. Tryed a lot of ways but it didn't help. So I factory reset the tabletand now im stuck at the Setup Wizard. It just won't let me let me through. I thought its was over, but then I get a message saying there is an update available. So I download it and installed it. But all I get at the end is error. So now I need to flash it with stock. I tried the img. too, but it doesnt show up in the recover menu. If you found a solution please tell me
Can anyoonneee help me find a good Custom Rom for the alcatel one touch pixi 7 (9006W)? Sucks that there's not much info for this device (probably cause the device sucks lol) I'm running on lollipop 5.0.2 and am not able to get OTA update due to rooting. Unrooting didn't help. It seems only answer is custom rom but don't want to risk bricking it as I don't have a computer at home. Also, I am new to this so if anyone can share some insight, I'd be eternally grateful
P.s
It's a t mobile device but I only use it on wifi.
Am using kingroot.
Have never installed a custom rom
****ing device is 8 gigs. 1 gig Ram.
Is it possible to get Nougat?
Help meeee lol
