Restarted the tablet just now and noticed a Dell update. Installed it and, something definitely has improved as the tablet seems much quicker. Ran Antutu and the Ram speed has gone way up. Is it possible Dell has addressed an issue with these tablets? Anyone else get this update?
Yes i did receive this update, it fixed some of the browser issues in chrome.
I can't install the update is just fails mid Install with an Android Caution sign and constantly gives me the OTA Notification.
Maybe it depends on how new your Venue 8 is?

Mine is the newest 8340 - I think I messed something up but I am not sure how to return to stock as the only fastboot images I could find are rooted ones with disabled OTAs.

Were you rooted or stock?
My wifes 8340 was rooted and the updater rebooted and promptly failed. Tablet didn't loose root but something is definitely messed up now. I've not had time to figure out what happened yet.

Yes I am rooted but no root apps were used and I unrooted to no avail. So it must be to do with the root process or something it has changed in the system partition. If we had fastboot images it would be easy enough to revert to stock and upgrade...

No Dice!
So I have tried everything to return to stock, the stock images provided in the thread refuse to flash with fastboot outputing error 121, It is a big image and gets half way through downloading system.img when this error occurs, I have tired unbricking but it will not detect my device when pressing download button and have tried about every driver available & 3 computers. I tried using CWM temp boot to flash the system.img put inside a update.zip but it did not work and now I am prepared to return the tablet as it will not restore
Any ideas left to help here?
Here's the error when using fastboot-

& The xFSTK Flasher gives no error as I can't no matter what I do get it to detect.
I have now spent 20 Hours trying to fix this - I have run through the guide 3 times and used 3 different computers I have no idea what to do?

Well you should be flashing system.img.gz not system.img.
fastboot flash system system.img.gz
as far as recovery you would need to unpack system.img and build a rom to install via CWM.

My deep apologies I have never flashed a .gz in fastboot before file I just assumed it need to be unachieved and it was compressed for the purpose of size...
I did try to build a Rom however it would not build on my Linux Server for some reason so I gave up on that after a few hours.

Using Tethered Recovery by Social, and the error is half way through installing OTA in Recovery it goes from a loading (Progress bar) to a red caution symbol and then it reboots. Upon boot the version number and details remian the same....
Also should add this is stock without any mods or installed apps (just flashed and went straight to updating) ... root should have disappeared entirely when I flashed system.

That doesn't help, if I had that tablet, I would run the ota update through my cwn recovery, all failures are recorded so would know what was wrong.
Stock recovery I don't think records failures, without a log can't help you.

I am stock rooted and didn't modify a single thing. The only thing I did was flash TWRP recovery because I was planning on flashing ROMS but I eventually decided to stick to stock rooted so I reflashed the stock recovery. I received the update a week ago and proceeded to install it. However, it seems to fail. When the phone boots into stock recovery it attempts to install the update but at about a 3rd of it's progress it immediately stops and all that is displayed on the screen is a phone flat down with a red triangle and exclamation mark inside it. I've tried searching about this but everything I find leads me to the One X and I've never owned that phone so I'm not sure how similar they really are. Does anyone know why this is happening? Would it possibly be due to a corrupted recovery file within my download source? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yes when you flash recovery I believe it will Wipe your sd card. But your stuff should be on your gmail account though at least your phone numbers. You need to give us more info. Are you on stock t mo rom?

As far as I'm aware unlocking the bootloader or flashing an RUU are the ONLY things that wipe your storage. Flashing recoveries doesn't touch it except for adding in the necessary files to function properly.

I really cant remember if it did or did not when I flashed the recovery but in post #8 he said it wiped his sd. I could be wrong though. Just trying to help this guy out. I do know unlocking bootloader does wipe your sd though so i'm sure your right I just cant remember.

I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it but, yeah, same problem here. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is.. For now you can uninstall the updates to the app and it will work.
**EDIT: It looks like a lot of people have been having this problem on lots of devices so I'm not sure what the deal is. I did find that if you keep tapping the video that it will eventually play...seems like if you play with it you can find a pattern that works relatively consistently. It's still annoying though.
Just quickly pinging this thread so I can find it later, since XDA refuses to consider a section for Fuhu's Android tablets.

I wish I knew what Nabi build you were on to begin with.
I would try this in order. Flash this in TWRP(Install tab)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50431160&postcount=97
This has a more detailed log. If you see stuff in the log about not mounting, etc then it's not going to work. (Actually this is a good thing which means your bootloader is Jellybean)
If that doesn't work try this next. Install this in TWRP. This is what you are going to need to be on eventually anyway if you are trying to run a Jellybean port.

I didn't use anything, it was there already.
This is my first post, so I apologize if I am in the wrong section, but I really need help.
After running diferent custom roms on my KIW-L21, I saw the official MM update on the forum, so I restored my TWRP backup of B140 and tried updating but with no luck, so I tried restoring stock B130. Because the force update wouldn't work I flashed the files manually using adb and fastboot and succeded. The problem is that now, when I go to the 'about phone' panel all the informations except for the version number are wrong :
model is unknown
CPU shows quad core 1,2 GHz
RAM 1,0 GB
Memory 4,0 GB
Resolution 540 x 960
Android version 4.3.
Has anyone encountered anything like this?
Once again, I am very sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but I could really use some help.

I managed to flash a stock rom using gopinaidu77's [RoM][StOcK][Kiw-L22/L21]B140.Debloated, because it is the only one I found that is stock but .zip file.
The only question now, if you can help me with an answer, is what could go wrong if in the 'about phone' panel model number is MSM8916 for arm64 and the file version is kiw-l24c567b140.
I mean, taking to consideration that my phone is KIW-L21 and the original file version it was originally for KIW-L24.
Anyway I really apreciate the help.

this rom contains the /cust partition you need

after flashing it with TWRP
Flash stock recovery with TWRP / Install / Install Image >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=51004
when you are done leave twrp with power off
now with the update.app files in the sdcard/dload boot the phone with
Power+ vol+ and vol-
EMUI will flash the phone
if you want complete stock boot to stock recovery (power + volume up) and choose factory reset

I am sorry guys,it didn't work.
Tried everything but it seems that the only rom working is the one I mentiones above.
Thank you very much,both of You,though,but for now I guess I'll stock to this one.
The only question now remains how will the fact that it show 'KIW-L24' will afect future updates ?

Yes I did, the only problem is that it will not boot. It gets stuck at the first honor logo.
It only booted when I tried the first solution but in that case again it was showing 'unknown device' '1 gb of ram' etc.

what didn't work ? if you can't follow simple steps how do you expect to fix the phone ?
Did you download and flash the customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip from paulobrien ? if you did your phone would not still say L24 it would be L21
The phone boots very slow wait at least 10 - 15 min before you give up on it

I read the description of the rom and saw that it boots slow and left it 35 minute by the watch before giving up. That was the only thing that it didn't work,the fact that it didn't boot.

This happened to me also. I flashed SuperSU on my GR5 and it went on bootloop. So I searched for TWRP Backup but I flashed KIW the first time, so I searched again and found the file. After boot, my about phone is displaying the wrong info. And also the pc detects it as MSM8916 for arm64 with only 2GB space. Please help

I have a pair of the FPV Drone Edition. Have side loaded a few apps. Haven't rooted since Galaxy S3 ( back on iPhone now) am interested to get this going
Hi !
It seems the rooting of intel devices follow the scheme:
-get bootimg
-patch it
-allow oem bootloader (voiding warranty and endangering future updates)
-flash the patched bootimg and pray
Is this correct or did i oversimplify or generalize too much or am i plain wrong, anyone ?
Greetings,
Ender
P.S. Greetings dvegaman
Bump.
Well, BUMP, goddamn
Just came across 2 pairs of these (BT-300s).
If the lack of interest in rooting is due to lack of hardware, reach out to me privately here on XDA; would happily donate one to kickstart some development efforts.

Bumping this one up. Have a new pair and looking to root to wake them up some.

This may seem easy to others but I figured out how to do a factory data reset using ADB... something that would've helped when my BT-300 went into a boot loop last weekend...
***DO AT YOUR OWN RISK! NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING, ETC..... (but it worked fine for me).
1. Install "minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.2_setup.exe" (google it and grab at your own risk) on your Windows PC.
2. Go to the BT-300 and:
a. Under Security allow unknown sources
b. Under Developer Options allow USB debugging and unlock bootloader.
3. Connect same powered up BT-300 to PC via USB cable.
4. Start up that minimal ADB program. It will open in command prompt.
5. Check connection by typing "adb devices"
Should see "EMBT3C device" on PC
6. Now type, "adb reboot recovery" and wait for android with triangle/exclamation point to appear after device reboots. You will notice the physical buttons flash purple too.
7. Press and hold power button. Also press Vol Up, then release Vol Up and finally release Power button.
You should now see the recovery menu including "wipe data/factory reset", cache clear, and so on...
NOW... if I could get recovery.zip image to restore if I "kill" it to reload with ADB... THEN I'd try root. There must be a way. I just want GApps 5.1.1 on the thing for starters.
Still struggling with rooting... No dice so far. I've never rooted any Android... Once rooted can we then save the original factory ROM someplace safe, or do I need that first from another source? Newbie questions . I know just enough to be dangerous! LOL.
I got the factory image
Played around with the "SoftwareUpdate" apk and found the strings it uses to download the 1.4
Ugh just signed up but because I don't have enough posts I had to put a bunch of spaces in the links for them to
show up. Just remove the spaces and they should work? Either his or copy the SoftwareUpdate.apk and pull the strings from that.

You download a file called "SecureUpdateInfo" open it in a text editor and it will give you a link to the direct download for the zip. Its about 300megs.

PS - It might com back without a link but "BUSY" on it. I have been testing it a bunch so thats what happened right now. The fille will look like below

Ok sending now.
I also managed to root my epson! I discovered the twrp.img here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-tutorial-intel-atom-cherry-trail-t3468330
If you get into bootloader mode and fastboot flash it into the recovery partition, you can adb root it and then install supersu from there. I just trashed my device though so be sure to do a full image backup first haha.

Tried to load up opengapps, then every time I rebooted it would be "optimizing apps" I tried to side-load the OTA again and poof, it killed the system partition.
The ota apparently doesn't have the full image. Right now I am trying to hack together something from another cherry rom and side load it, but I need a DD of someones system Glad twrp still works or I wouldn't have shell root access to fix.

Ok I am retarded. I didn't configure twp correctly so all the folders it had were wrong. So when I went to use the install tool it screwed up majorly.
Just glad I didn't overwrite the bootloader
PS - Ok, I figured out how to restore the original recovery loader and it recovered fine. It must be something in this hacked version of twip that isn't applying the ota correctly. Going to try to build a version of twip just for this

You are not. I am the noob trying to figure out the whole root process and I don't even know how to backup the existing bootloader and ROM so I can restore it with ADB if I screw it all up in root..... I feel clueless and know just enough to be dangerous... yet for some reason, I'm not afraid, just need to learn.

Whew! I did it. First I took the instructions from here as a start:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-tutorial-intel-atom-cherry-trail-t3468330
In fact, if you can "almost" follow the instructions verbatim. The problem is that the data drive is encrypted and the default android password didn't work so I had to modify the boot.img to not encrypt the data partition then do a wipe. supersu installed fine then.
As for gapps, that was tricky. You have to manually install google webview apk as the built in one is garbage.
Still working on the vr settings. Camera has issues with scaling as I think good believes it to be a widescreen when its a 4.3.
Once I get it down, I will make a boot.img and recovery.img that should just work.

So basically you connect your phone to the computer. Make sure you have automatic updates shutoff. Start downloading the update, but don't download it all the way . Pause it after 15 seconds. Type " adb logcat > ota.txt " without quotation . In you platform tools folder there should be a file called it's.txt open it . In the search type " googleapis " and you will find a httpslink.zip copy it and paste it in your browser it should start downloading. Extract the downloaded file. The payload will be in the extracted folder.
Ota.txt** not it's.txt
I have steps for you on how to extract the payload.bin file with payload_dumper-master... Once you got a capture of your ota
Also I have telegram, but I need to download it.
I sent message on telegram
Platform-tools directory in terminal type that command*
Also I had android 11 at first . I did end up bricking my phone trying to install a unofficial TWRP. I thought I was never get my phone back working then I tried to flash different boot.img . I flashed it with different ppls images. Still nothing. Kept doing research. Flashed it more had a phone that finally turned on , but no wifi .... I flashed the October patch android 11 flashed vbmeta , boot image , system.image system_etc.img . I finally was able to turn on my phone have wifi. I noticed there was a new update . I was just gonna download the update to fully get my phone back to normal, but this was my chance to root it cause all the software lined up . I figured out how to capture ota . I capture the ota to my version of the new update. I downloaded my update for Android 12. I patched the boot.img . BOOM flashed it phone successfully rooted . New update to Android 12 and root.
So my phone is currently rooted on the android 12 , but there is a new update . What I'm trying to figure out is how to update it. It seems you can only get the boot.img with full ota . With be android 11 at first . Android 12 was a full ota. Since I'm on android 12 there is a new update, but it's not a full ota . It's a incremental meaning not all the software is getting modified. I did manage to capture my incremental update , and you'll know it's not a full ota if it's only like 100mb. full ota are like 4gb . So I have the payloads for both updates. I'm trying to combine/extract both payload.bins boot.img combine them together to have a new updated root . My phone is still rooted properly . I would just like to stay up to date.

Umm what android version are you on , and what model . I could possibly upload the images for you to flash. , But my theory is you have to flash all the images on both slots to get it back working . If you're interested lmk.
Like system.img boot.img vendor.img modem.im ect... All the core images
Yes I believe it is possible. It's like getting a new update. And I have it all extracted from the payload bin. I check Here every so often if anyone interested. Like every image
Gotta flash all them so they all line up
Don't wanna just post anything and someone bricks there phone. But if your phone is already bricked , them it don't hurt to try.
I don’t usually post I just kinda hang back and read but I have an n20 gn2200 that I bricked trying to get rw on the system. I have tried so many combinations of flashing this that and the other that I don’t really know what firmware I’ve downloaded anymore. I know I was on 12 before I crashed the phone and was going to try getting twrp on my slot b partition but haven’t got there. If you have flashable imgs for android 12 I’ll give them a shot. Don’t mind trying it out like you said can’t hurt right
I got you . And the thing about twrp . You gotta flash it to your recover.img. it replaces your recovery. I've flashed it to my boot.img , and that's what bricked my phone.
And Nord doesn't have an official twrp that works. And I'm not seeing any recovery.img partitions.
Once I upload to Google drive . I will upload the link to all the images for download. I just need set my computer down and let them upload it'll take a lil time .
Uploading...
I've managed to figure out how to modify partitions and flash them. Like anyone interested in following along with this new project I'm working on. Like I mounted my_product.img to my computer edited some files deleted the carrier boot animations . If you try to mount it it'll mount, but it won't let you edit or delete files. OnePlus partitions are erofs not ext2, ext3, or ext4. Erofs is a read only file system I've came across this program that converts it to ext2. I was able to mount it I edited some files deleted some files. Flashed it .it flashed without a problem. The original my_product.img was like 300 mb. When it got converted it was like 600mb. So I deleted the carrier boot animations, and it reverted to the OnePlus boot animation. When I deleted the OnePlus boot animation it reverted to a stock android boot animation. And when I use a root explorer on the phone it allows me to create folders delete files. So the my_product which contains the boot animations flashed without a problem. So I did the same thing to system.img it lets me convert it edit files. When I go to flash it. I get an error. " fastboot flash system systemsu.img" the error says " invalid sparse file format at header magic Resizing 'system_a' FAILED (remote: 'not enough space to resize partition')". the original system.img was like 700mb then it changed to 1.5 gb once I converted it. If there is a way to reduce the size of the partition it it'll work . Or if you increase the size available, so you don't get an error.
