[Q] How do I downgrade from 5.1 to 5.02, Dell 7840 - Dell Venue

Hi
I current have 5.1 rooted 7840 and wanted to know if I can go back to 5.02. After 5.1 I'm having issues with audio, crackling sound while playing games and typing touch keyboard; so, I want to go back to 5.02 if possible. I've tried to restore to kitkat nandroid backup that I've download from the fourm but it gives me "Error while flashing boot image!" I'm guessing I cannot go back to kitkat while I'm on lollipop. If someone can show me how to go back to 5.02 or even kitkat (both had no audio issue) I'd appreciate it.
Thank you

If the crackling sound is your only concern, try to disable the MaxxAudio app and reboot. At least it works for me.

Disabling Maxxaudio does not work for me.

Flash developer packages with flash tool. Last week i downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.02.
Make sure before u do back up 5.1 first.

Hi,
Are you all affected by this crackling sound after the update to 5.1 or is this only affecting some of the users?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

For all not only you. Don't worry.

Hi,
Can you help me to downgrade the tablet? I have used the flash tool from intel and flashed the 5.02 file (1-502_droidboot_and_firmware) but tablet is still 5.1, any ideas?
The crackling is very annoying.
Thanks in advance

Do I need to unlock the bootloader in developer options?
Will it wipe the tablet?

i completely wiped and re-installed 5.0.1 on my tab a few days ago. Worked perfectly with the procedure described in the link. Just be sure that fastboot AND adb-drivers are installed beforehand.

From what I gathered there is no system image file...so how does it downgrade based on a 25 meg file? Do I need to flash the other zips as well or just the one listed?

you're right, but xBIGREDDx provided a dump of system.img some time ago, which i'm really glad for. If you stick to this thread you should have no problems reverting back to 5.0.1. But it's really not the easiest way when you're used to other vendors where you just need to flash something on your custom recovery of choice.

Ive messed up 5.1 system so i needed to flash clean rom and i did as in post above. Now im having Android 5.0.2 and i cannot update to Android 5.1....OTA file gives me Error 0.
Any solution? Thanks

stuck on Chinese ROM

Hello all my friends. I have some trouble yet again with our lovely p780. I updated to the Vibe ui 2.0 stable release. It's great but I can't find a custom recovery for it and the partition is frustrating me. I have an 8 gb device and the update divided the partition in a way that takes a large potion of my data and locks it away for the system data. And I am stuck on the Rom. I have been trying to flash back to ROW all day. Every time I try to flash back to ROW the spflash tool gives errors about missing documents. Any ideas? If I'm stuck on this ok but could someone help me fix the partition and find a custom recovery that works?
I found a custom recovery that works. I just used the same as the chinese twrp that works on all the older ones.

Im getting an error that says PMT changed for rom it must be downloaded.
I have no clue what that is or where to find it and it says this for every rom other than s135.. I'm trying to flash back to s124 so I can go up to the newer s226. I have tried update only, firmware upgrade, with and without preload files. I have the drivers installed.
Thanks for trying to help me out stympy.

Here is what you have to do: Try to use only Flash Tool 3 not 5.
1. Download your ROM, must be 124ROW with Flash Tool
2. Download Life ROM for your phone 4 GB or 8GB. I do not know what type of ROM you have.
3. First try to flash Life
4. If you manage to flash Life boot once and then power off your phone and try to flash 124 ROW ROM.
5. Tell me if something goes wrong !

Hi. What you have here is the latest Chinese software. You cannot root with my tutorial. There are other software to do that.
This is what i recomend: flash a ROW ROM. Stock ROW ROM you will find in the development section. After flash do an OTA update. After update my tutorial for rooting will work.

[Q] Error on installing Lollipop rom

Hi Guys!
Is there any soul who can help me out?
I have a SGP321 Tab Z version with stock 4.4 on it, and rooted with towelroot (i guess this is the name!)
Every single update i've done since initial version 4.1 had been without any problems and all by OTA.
Now, after downloading the latest version, after click install button, i get a message box telling me that the tablet will restart and will take some 41 minutes to do the job. OK then, it reboots, but after one or two minutes max, it reboots again and nothing done. Then on the notification bar i get a message saying that the update failed and i should do it again.
Well Mates, after 5 tries i gave up?
Maybe someone have had a problem like this one??
Might have something to do with the root method?? I really can't figure out....
Thanks for your kind help in advance.

To tell long story short, it is because you are rooted. Before applying OTA device checks system files for modifications and stops install if it finds one. Root as you know is a modification.
So, any suggestion?
What should i do?

I was on soak test 5.0.2 before going to 5.1.1 custom ROMs... I restored to stock 4.4.4, and got the 5.1 notification...

Yeah ni Brick happens maybe,
AFAIK bootloader upgraded in 5.0.2 big update, so cant tell what happens, and if u used custom ROMs, then u cant live with Stock ROM anymore. Im sure you will restore that backup after trying Stock rom, IMHO wait for twrp backup of FINAL OTA and try that, not make any drastic steps now bcoz the device is year older so we have no Warranty now.. ...

Hey thanks bro, but I restored to 4.4.4 yesterday, got the OTA.... And guess what!!!!
I am running official 5.1 on my phone now... No brick has occurred, everything is smooth.
I have never taken such a serious and risky step before in my life! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
But I can guarantee you and other fellow XDA members
Don't be afraid to install 5.1 OTA after restoring to stock 4.4.4 from 5.0.2
It actually works, since it Motorola has made it official.
Two things to note though....
The bootloader has been updated
The partition tables have been updated
The recovery is no longer the Kitkat one (as seen in 5.0.2 soaks)
Oh and BTW, if someone wants to get back to 4.4.4 for some reason, then he CAN, by flashing all the firmware files of 4.4.4 EXCEPT the bootloader and the partition. He will also get the OTA and install it fine. Just tried it tomorrow.
Peace!

I have made the backup, ready to be flashed....
Here are two things to do prior to installing
Do a backup of the previous ROM
Wipe Everything
Now install, and as soon as it completes setup, DO A FACTORY RESET (it gave bootloops, so I am requesting).
And another interesting thing, if you change the language to English US, the new Boot animation appears
I will definitely upload by tomorrow...
Thanks for the patience

Initially it was showing the old animation (I had selected English (india) as language) but when I flashed the stock recovery , the animation changed to new one and I checked the bootanimation file is the same but I got the new one.....now when I flashed twrp again bootanimation stays as new one
Thanks for the upload again
I bet you both will back to Custom ROM again sooon, you all wasting time [emoji14]

If you can go to TWRP recovery then use flashable stock rom to recover your phone.Or try flashing boot.img from the stock rom also.This should work.

Use custom rom to make your phone working again.OR the better tips is use flashtool to flash stock rom.This never fails

How can I flash stock rom? you have a link for a tutorial or something?
important think to know is that i make a backup by the twrp. Afterthat I put this backup on my pc, deleteme data/system/cache (not delete, swipe I think) and after that I put the backup in the phone again and use it to backup...
I'm going totry this tomorrow cause it's very late here and I'm working early

Ok, Thank you so much for your help but I find the problem (it was the update of twrp, it was in 3.02 and I downgrade it to 3.01) and now, my phone works again!! but do you think it's a good idea to get my phone in emui 4.0 with this rom?

Yes you can try this rom.Looks fresh to me but can't guarantee it will not contain any bugs or issues.And be sure this rom only made for your device.

If you face any problem and need to improve or add new features in the rom just comment in the Rom's thread or PM that Rom Developer because he is the one who build rom for your device.Here me or anyone can't help you with this. And always use stable build.Don't try too fast to try Recently developing Alpha,beta or nightly rom.It contains too many issues and bugs.but if you want to help developer and you know how to handle your phone in such bad situation you can go for those builds and provide Dev log to develpoer.

Should I update?

Hi guys, first I want to apology if it has already been asked.
I'm running Android 6.0 (32.1.A.1.185) on my E5823. My phone is rooted and have Xposed installed (Hi Niantic)
I can't get rid of the notification for 32.2.A.0.224.
Should I update?
Will I loose root and Xposed? If so, how can I get rid of this annoying update notification?
Thanks a lot
You won't be able to update the official way without getting rid of the mods/root.

Uninstall Xposed framework and then you'll need to flash stock kernel using fastboot which would also remove whatever custom recovery and root you have.

Thanks. I'll do it for 7.0 I think
Hey, I was asking myself: if I install systemless root (Magisk), will I be able to OTA? (if Magisk is compatible with my phone, which I'm not totally sure)
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend it. Even if you do succeed in updating you could end up with a bricked device or just mess up your firmware and would have to do redo everything. Best is to bring it back to complete stock and then do the update.

Okay, thanks for the reply
I don't really see the problem. Just flash the latest firmware using Flashtool and then root again by using the rootkernel mod in this forum. Xposed and such aren't a problem either.
Hi
Is it possible to use Flashtool with twrp/root/xposed? Btw I think my bootloader is still unlocked.
And what should I use to root? Something like this or this?

If your bootloader is unlocked you should be able to follow both tutorials just fine.
In short:
Flash new firmware using Flashtool
Patch kernel of new firmware and flash it
Flash SuperSU and Xposed using TWRP
Enjoy life
If you need step-for-step help, just send me a PM with your instant messasing contact details. I'll help where needed.
Hi, thanks for the reply, I'll do that when I'll have more free time.
Instead of SuperSU, can I flash Magisk?
Bump
Thanks

You'll first need to downgrade to an older firmware in order to backup the TA partition. This thread describes everything very detailed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/how-to-backup-restore-ta-partition-root-t3479532

In my case MM 6.0.1 (.224 or .253) solved the battery drain issue during night/sleep, so i would highly recommend it. There is also a discussion regarding this.
as suggested by others, i would not directly OTA upgrade with modded kernel, Supersu and Xposed installed. I would do it with flashtool.
If you want to stick with the current version, simply disable/hide/remove the Software update app (or "hide all notifications from this app".)
I froze it a while ago with Rom Toolbox, but thanks

sorry, didn't see it's 1 month old discussion
Hi, I'm still on 32.1.A.1.185
Flashtool (Emma) only allow me to install 32.0.A.6.200 (there is Customized MY and NOBA, don't know the difference) and 32.1.A.1.163 (only Customized_NOBA)
Why can't I update to a more recent firmware?
Thanks
