You need to flash again the stock rom, the factory reset won't work.
You can found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51090040&postcount=2 and flashing through fastboot
I don't know what frameworks-res.apk you used, but maybe you forgot set the right permissions, or maybe you took the files for other device.
DL VN 7
Is there some tutorial for flash with fastboot??, i never did it, and i don't want destroy some other..
Go here to Dell's opensource site.. http://opensource.dell.com/releases/...loper-edition/

sorry for the late reply.
In the dell's opensource page there aren't files for the 3730 (i don't know why)
but, may be i'm wrong, there aren't tutorials for flashing in fastboot, i only found posts in xda's dell venue general forum.
i'll write here a guide if you still without founding a tutorial and for any others if found this post
you need:
intel usb drivershttps://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices , read the instruccions if you are in windows 8 (i'm on win7 so i cannot tell you if is the same method or not)
The tools for fastboot (there are in a folder called "google") is a little confused so better download @social-design-concepts miKIT_BATCH HERE (before continue let's say thanks to @social-design-concepts for his useful tool that also works for root ),extract wherever you want in your computer.
the files to flash HEREdownload the package for your device and once donwloaded extract where you want in your computer
NOW FOR FLASH
1.-
Install the intel android usb drivers, if you did this before, skip
2.-
Open the myKIT_BATCH folder and run the "runme.bat" file, then type ACCEPT, after that type 2 and press "enter" (the option 1 is for update the driver, in myKIT_BATCH's post 1 is explained) the font should be red.
3.-
boot into fastboot (press button "power" and button "volume down" at the same time) your tablet's screen will display a blue android with gears inside and below it the "droidboot" text and your device info in your device's top|left screen corner , if yes connect your tablet to pc to recognize it (if is the first time).
4.- Open a command window
after the pc recognizes your tablet unplug and plug again the usb cable, should be faster the recognicion this time.
Then in myKIT_BATCH window press "enter" to refresh, the font will become green and will display your device's info, if is going fine in the window type 4 and press "enter", will appear another window.
IF everything still going fine in the new command window type:
Code:
fastboot devices
will display your device's info
5.- let's start with fastboot
BUT first ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY HAVE A CONSIDERABLE CHARGED LEVEL
Unfortunately i don't know what happens if the tablet power off when flashing and if fastboot will work fine after so check your battery charge first
i need to tell you that the 1-4 steps are the most difficult steps (you should have at this time the rom downloaded and extracted only extract the downloaded package (the .7z file)
after this explained so let's start.
5.1.- WIPING
fastboot have some wipe commands so i will explain the 2 that i used:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
This code explains itself, you can try this code to verify that your device is connected
Code:
fastboot erase data
easy to use but powerful, this will erase app's data and also your internal storage (the 11GB that the tablet have to store files), unfortunately i used this without know and i lost 8GB of files
5.2.- NOW TO FLASH
works almost equal with the wipping commands so it's easy to explain.
let's start with system
for a easy explain you ned to open a window where the rom's files are stored in your pc and in the command shell type "fastboot flash system" and after that drag the system file (system.img.tar.gz) to the command window after dragging the file will appear in the command window the full path of the file
I.E i have a dell venue 8 3830 and i want to flash the jellybean 4.2.2 stock rom so i downloaded the Venue_8_WiFi_JB4.2.2v1.42_FLASHPKG and extract this in F:\VENUE 8 3830\stock rom folder so after type the command and drag and drop the system file in my command window will display this:
Code:
fastboot flash system F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.system.img.gz
after this the command press "enter" and you don't need to do nothing (maybe your window will turn off and maybe you try to turn on but will keep off, don't worry only let fininsh) the fastboot program will start to prepare the file for upload to the tablet and after that to flash.
this will finish in 1-2 minutes.
NOW THE BOOT.IMG
is the same way than system but faster.
after finishing flashing system (when the window diplays the elapsed time) type: "fastboot flash boot" and drag and drop the boot.img file in the command window
I.E. in my device will be like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.boot.img
press "enter" and will do the same like system prepare,upload and flash the file.
there are in the download package more file but only with BOOT and SYSTEM flashed your tab should boot
but if you want to flash the other images you need to type
for recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.recovery.img
and for fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.fastboot.img
for my example, for you will be change a little
thanks to all who read and understand this guide, bad english
you are free to comment this if i mistake

I found this around here, is for windows 8 but maybe useful for Windows 10

unfortunately i don't have a computer with windows 10 so i can't solve easily.
i found this googling, so with a little of faith :fingers-crossed: , is the same error than yours http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/118823/how-to-install-adb-drivers-on-windows-10-opoit's for the OPO, but is about the same "intalling adb driver", so could work
in a dessesperate attempt, you can use the update usb drivers in "myKit_BATCH" typing "1" after typyng "ACCEPT"
I fixed it with 15 seconds installer!, i gng try to fix tablet
But i found next problem, after connect tab to PC, just UNKNOWN, and tab is not showing in mykit

Ahh that's add driver not recognize your tablet, I suppose that you connect in fastboot mode,
Try using the option of update the adb driver in Mykit_BATCH, you don't lose nothing trying.
Other option is trying the dell's method http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_8_3830_CloverTrail_plus/developer-edition/Download the pdf file and read the instructions from page 2 to page 9 if still not working
here is the sdk tools for windows that the pdf wants
I downloaded SDK tools, i installed Google usb driver, because it say not installed, when it was installing it said: Disable adb driver, ineffectual, error code -1, but after install it work good, so i will test with this, when no i will try another way, that u wrote here
Finally, tried method, no work, finally, update ADB no working for me, cuz installation always fail, next one DELL method, working but i found problem, dell wrote update driver via google extra with codes, BUT
My first code: USB\VID_413C&PID_B119&REV_????, ????, i think there is something wrong
My second code: USB\VID_413C&PID_B119, i think this one is alright, but then up
Finally with dell next page i'm in!, but my kit no working, in every command shut down, so i using windows cmd, it working too
Mhm bruh, no i'm in flash system, sending 'system' awesome, but it's more than 2 minutes , when it will work, omg u r awesome
Bruh, yay, i did it, thq u r master <33

Are you telling that the dell method works?
The good new is that your tablet is back (with some problems in the way but work, ). after all now you know how to flash through fastboot. If anyelse goes wrong again, you know what to do
NOTE: Maybe your want to replace the framework-res again, but only will work if is for your device. So i recomend that you modify your stock framework-res by yourself (you can use images or xmls from other sources to your framework-res, this should be safer) using apktool manually or a program (there are some of them in xda, choose your favorite )
Yay 50% of dell method worked, just 50% because Dell have tutorial for setting up ADB service, after it i used your tut, thanks, and believe me i will not test it NEVER again.
HELP ! HELP ! HELP !
hard bricked by flashing a miui rom from twrp without deleting the emmc file :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
i can only go to fastboot , no recovery , miui logo for 3 seconds
please someone help me !!! :crying::crying:
will the test point work ?
Edit :-
Thank you all , i managed to unbtick using test point .!!
I know enough to tell you that I'd you can get fastboot yo work, its not bricked. Honestly I don't own the device. I own lg g3. And it might be different for this device but you can try pushing recovery from fasyboot mode using your PC. You might wanna google how to tbh and ask around ppl with similar device if possible. Pushing through fastboot/adb is most common so pushing recovery will format recovery partition and install/push new one. That will get you working recovery. (I hope). Happy flashing.
In fastboot check if bootloader is locked by running the device info command... It is not locked you have hopes... Use fastboot to flash fastboot rom package with modified emmc file and modded image...
Its locked
Only way is to do test point method or take it to a service center

"BUT DONT FLASH MIUI ROM USING TWRP IF YOU UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER UNOFFICIALY"
If bootloader is unlocked officially then can we flash any MIUI recovery ROM using TWRP without need of modifying Recovery ROM (deleting bootloader file , patch boot.img) ? can we switch to any MIUI ROM then easily ?

Oh Lol , have asked many people but none of them are sure about this .. but i have asked from mi chat they said once bootloader is unlocked you can't lock it back by flashing MIUI roms as it's security feature . SO we can say unofficial method is problem if you like to switch to between ROM's but official one will not create any problems ..still not sure though have to ask who have done through Official method.

The solution:
1. Press and hold VolUp+VolDown+Power (all 3 buttons) at the same time.
2. The MI logo will appear for some time, and then disappear, don't release the buttons.
3. The MI logo will then appear briefly, and then disappear. Now release all 3 buttons.
4. Connect the phone to PC, and then proceed to use MiFlash as usual.
Use a 64-bit PC

2. The MI logo will appear for some time, and then disappear, don't release the buttons.
3. The MI logo will then appear briefly, and then disappear. Now release all 3 buttons.
4. Connect the phone to PC, and then proceed to use MiFlash as usual.

And install Your Drivers
And Do flash Your Rom
No need usb Debugging
Are You Can Flash Stock ROM?

Unless you've messed up the TA partition, our phones are pretty hard to brick. If you hold vol_up then plug in USB to your PC, it should boot into flash mode with a blue LED. That means you can use Flashtool to flash an FTF file to the phone, effectively factory program it.

Press down + power to go to fast boot, insert usb cable phone to pc, open miflash app (download it here http://en.miui.com/thread-272376-1-1.html), select any fastboot rom version (Here is an example, http://en.miui.com/thread-543021-1-1.html , download fastboot rom for redmi note 3 pro, after downloading unzip the file if you see weird extension file just replace it to .zip and extract to see the files). After selecting the fastboot rom directory on miflash, make sure that your phone is detected as a fastboot device (if you can't see anything on the list on the app, recheck the connection), then select save user data on the bottom, then flash if there is an error, select clean all on the bottom then flash. Wait for the flashing to finished.

This guide above is to return back your phone to a working MIUI.
If you just need to unlock bootloader to flash twrp/custom recovery, then Unlock it via official method
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
- Download mi unlocker
- Open it, then login with your Mi account (Prefer to use your phone number in username)
- Reboot to fastboot mode (vol down + power), connect usb phone to pc
-The app will detect your phone once connected, then proceed on unlocking by clicking the button.
-Wait for it to finished
BTW, the guide above is specifically for redmi note 3 quallcomm/sd/pro, if you have different device, please look for your right fastboot rom in the list in the given thread. Good luck!

what file did you pasted inside the rom folder? something like a unlock file for bootloader?
Maybe that's the thing why it didn't worked. The steps always work for me whenever I got into something.
Also, are you sure that you've downloaded the right fastboot rom for your device? Are you on redmi note 3 pro too?

Try using this command, if still not working, download the latest adb from Android SDK and try again.
