[Dell Venue] TheManii:
The venue s5 s7 are all built off the same codebase.

I have ~90% of every known rom for those 3 devices

Doing a diff on yours vs the others reveals that some files are missing, such as /system/etc/hosts.

This is one of the files that is universally existant. It's in every rom on all 3 devices. There's some more that are missing, and clearly shouldnt be. But I cant recall off the top of my head.

You can do a diff vs the filesystem of 307 and that reveals most of it. There is the highly unlikely event that it was missing at the source. It's always possible but for the example of hosts I dont believe it's this case.

None of the missing files will cause run issues, just merely missing. The majority are in app\ and i believe there was only 1 that isnt bundleware in that case (ie it's a stock android app) but I cant recall for the moment which one that was.

For the moment I am the most knowledgable person on the s5/s7/venue filesystem layout. Though not so much on what each specific file does (as I dont code dev, but it's not difficult to look it up on google for specific files).

One thing i can say is it's unlikely that 304 ever existed as an update.pkg as system/etc/install-recovery.sh is missing. If it's missing by default that is essentially the definition of this, unless you removed it yourself (which I dont believe is the case)
[Dell Venue] rapol.goutham:
yes you are right, I have modified host file to remove adds in applications but the file exists and install recovery.sh file also existed and every thing works fine but try those dumps only in case of emergency.
[Dell Venue] rapol.goutham:
can you try those images on your streak.? If it works fine plz let me know, then ill try streak roms on my Venue.

And install_recovery.sh was also modified to support 2nd partition on sdcard.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
It should load fine with the SD kernel, it will run but it's not useful beyond deving.

If you try and load a venue rom on a streak, the screen will be upside down and wifi doesnt work. There might be more but I havnt done any extensive testing on it
[Dell Venue] rapol.goutham:
How could you boot through sdcard.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
You cant, not until someone makes a new bootloader.

With the popularity of the venue this is likely to be never
[Dell Venue] nexio:
how do connect the dell venue for the command prompt to see the phone

thanx!
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
go to this link and download ADB Easy, install then connect your phone:)
[Dell Venue] Rau:
Please be post "step by step" how to do it. Thanks
[Dell Venue] rapol.goutham:
I have already posted step by step guide, please read the thread completely, this thread includes how to flash guide also. If there were any doubts plz ask me.
[Dell Venue] arnelgiga:
Finally, I rooted my Dell with 325 ROM after installing the CWM of TheManii. Thanks to him. Now we can root that stubborn ROM. :-)

After I rooted the phone, I made a nandroid back up and came up with the following img.

[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
Whoa, outta no where! I like it! I hate having to plug my phone in each time I wanna flash something.

EDIT: Just flashed it VIA ROM Manager, version 5.0.2.3

EDIT2: Erm.. tried to boot into it, no go, my phone just boots up like normal.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
EDIT: Removed Bionic bootstrap link
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
Are you sure, he specifically states "This is for BIONIC ONLY.".
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
clockworkmod Koushik Dutta

ROM Manager now supports Droid X2 and Droid Bionic. You'll need to install @cvpcs's bootstrap first. Official bootstrap coming soon.

EDIT: Correct me if I'm wrong fellas, but I think this is the only bootstrap CVPCS has made. I remember reading in a different thread that someone used it on the x2.
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
Fair enough, I'll give it a try, I don't mind having to SBF if anything goes wrong.

EDIT: Installed the Bionic Bootstrap, reflashed 5.0.2.3, stuck at the moto logo.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
BEST NEWS EVER!!!!! Well behind an unlocked BL that is;)

Can't wait till my break...this is great
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Let me know what happens man. I'm still stuck on the flashing screen for ROM Manager. I'm not afraid to SBF either. Lol...
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
Just tried it but didn't work. Need to find CVPC's bootstrap
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
I posted a link about 4 replies back...

EDIT: Maybe don't use it. I'll hit up Koush on twitter.
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
Looks like I have to SBF. A factory reset in stock recovery didn't solve the problem, still stuck on the moto logo.

I recommend holding off on this until an official DX2 Bootstrap apk is released.
[Motorola Droid X2] homephysician:
Thanks for the link mistawolfe ill be trying this out when I get to a computer. Hp

dual core snap dragon beast
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
Just sent CVPC a tweet about the Bootstrap as well. Waiting to hear back right now?
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
I tweeted Koush. Does anyone know of any other bootstrap cvpcs has released? I don't. Maybe everyone hold off though for a min, unless you're cool with SBFing.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Damn, I was just about to install too! Could it be an issue that we already had Tenfar's bootstrap installed?
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
Doubtful, when I tried it Tenfar's Bootstrap wasn't even installed on my phone, nor had it previously been installed (had done an SBF a week ago).
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
So far nobody seems to have an answer. I am on IRC right now trying to get an answer.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Koush isn't responding to tweets. Lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
He also is not talking much in #koush on IRC. He said to use the dx2 bootstrap. He had thought CVPC had released one.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
On twitter, he said use cvpcs' bootstrap until an official one is released. I've never heard of an x2 bootstrap.

Hmmmmmmm
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
Thats what I told him. But never got a response back about it. Even Googled it but only the Bionic Bootstrap comes up.
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
I beginning to suspect he meant to use the bootstrap we currently have until an official one is released.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Definitely DO NOT use the bionic bootstrap. That's 2 SBF's now - Nitro just had to as well...
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
I meant use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169677 not the Bionic Bootstrapper, I wonder if that's what koush was referring to.
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
I have tried to use the Bootstrap that we have and still no luck. Can't seem to get it into Koush's recovery. Only Gfans.
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
Well I guess we just need to hold off until later when this gets sorted. :(
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I hate the hurry up now WAIT game. I am not a very patient man. Something I have to work on later. LOL
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Booted normally, not into recovery..
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
Same here, installed and flashed, then clicked reboot to recovery and it just took me right on to a normal boot.
[Motorola Droid X2] homephysician:
Koush has now updated rom manager to 5.0.2.4 for dx2. Spota work. Hp

dual core snap dragon beast
[Motorola Droid X2] Droosh:
Shouldn't we be able to use the bootstrap we already have, connect the power cable boot onto CWM, and then install Koush's zip from his website to update our recovery to the official recovery he just released?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Anyone care to post a link to RM v5?

Cannot find it on google.
[Motorola Droid X2] homephysician:
He put a link on twitter. Im not at a pc so I can't put it up. Hp

[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Did you look in the market?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Yes v4 only.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
This is where I found it. ALL THE WAY AT BOTTOM.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRY THIs YET. Please let me know if it works(im sure ya will ;) )

http://www.clockworkmod.com/recovery_images.html

It downloads as clockwork mod 5.0.2.5 daytona so I assume it is the one

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

ALSO. If this does work does this mean we can ALWAYS get to this recovery by pressing power and volume down? Like I used to be able to if I couldn't get past m logo or was bootlooping?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
But we may need rmv5 to go with it. V4 is on the mkt but he notes v5 is avaliable, idnk.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
I downloaded this do I just flash it in bootstrap?

It downloaded as 5-1.0.2.4

Tried with bootstrap. Installation immediately aborted
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I think you need to open it w/RMv5. I think others have used v4 and did not work?
[Motorola Droid X2] mjdavis871:
Anyone flash the new file yet? Does it work?
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
There is no update to the Rom Manager. We are all still on version 4.4.0.7. It is the clockworkmod recovery that has been updated to 5.0.2.4. But we still need a bootstrap that will work for us. The one we have will not work.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
I just flashed it and my phone went ape ****.....

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

Edit: Ok, I hit the power button after my screen went ape **** and it rebooted perfectly fine.

Edit 2: Rom Manager shows "Current Recovery: ClockwrkMod 5.0.2.4"

Edit 3: Still won't reboot into recovery.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Same, I tried downloading again I guess my phone grabbed wrong file somehow. I had exact same results as this.

I think we need an official bootstrap port first. Fail
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
This is what we have been saying since page 1.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
Ok good news and bad news. I managed to get our bootstrap app to flash this recovery instead of our old one. The good news is that it actually flashed it and I got into the new "official" version on boot. Bad news is that the screen is all ****ed up, but you can tell that it's definitely koush's recovery.
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
Part of that is good news. Hopefully we will have more good news soon.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
What do u mean by the screen being all messed up? Is it functional?
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
All you have to do is hit the power button and it will reboot, like I already said :)
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
You can't read anything. It's all skewed really bad. My guess is it's not properly loading something right. I can toy with it some more, but I have an update for Alien to crank out also.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
This thread is full of win. I lold irl. ROM Manager = very bad when not compatible.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Why is it the one we already have is an apk we install and this is a .zip? Is it supposed to update or recovery?
[Motorola Droid X2] mjdavis871:
Lol...maybe its in chinese =P
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Someone with twitter account go reply to @clockworkmod mast tweet, tell him we need bootstrap
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Just curious. What GB version are you running? Have we tried 2.3.4 or did you try it on 2.3.3? Also, did you try this from a stock rom? I would imagine that you would have to remove your Bootstrapper first before this would work. I think we should try this on a clean install of eclipse/atrix/alien . And dont run the current Bootstrapper. Once the clean install of the rom is complete, Run Rom Manager and Flash it from the app. I would try this but I'm at work and wont get off for another 6 hours. I don't think Koush would release this without testing.

But I could be wrong about all of this.

Edit: When you get a clean install of your rom. Run rom manager after initial bootup is complete. In other words, DONT RUN SYSTEM RECOVERY in the app menu. Just put rom manager on your phone and then flash.

Edit: Disregard this, Droid-Life states we need the bootstrap.
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
Already did.
[Motorola Droid X2] m125:
Haven't seen this link posted yet.

https://github.com/cvpcs/DroidX2Bootstrap

Not sure what to do from here though, I tried to flash it because I don't know what the hell else to do and it just hung in the recovery. Pulled the battery and booted back up into v6 like a champ. I'll try it a few more times and maybe on a clean install but I don't think I'll get anywhere.

Cheers.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
I literally was just about to post that! I'm going to see what I can do with it.
[Motorola Droid X2] m125:
I was digging around in the source and it seems to be legit.

It should show up as "Droid X2 Bootstrapper" In the app list if I'm reading this right.

<resources>

<string name="app_name">Droid X2 Bootstrapper</string>

<string name="flash">Bootstrap Recovery</string>

<string name="reboot_recovery">Reboot Recovery</string>

</resources>

Cheers.

Holy **** I got it to work. Full post coming shortly...I think maybe, more testing is needed.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got into clockwork recovery and was able to read the screwed up text by tilting the phone and going into a dark room(Haha), but during flashing cvpcs Bootstrap it aborted installation right after going to installing update.zip. So in essence it didn't work in the same place that the GFAN recovery didn't work.

And here is the Update.zip if anyone smarter then me want to take a look at it and see if anything is wrong with it.

https://github.com/cvpcs/DroidX2Bootstrap/blob/master/assets/update.zip

Tried resigning the bootstrap, no dice.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
@clockworkmod just purchased an x2, freaking sweet
[Motorola Droid X2] hajabooja:
Yup! Could mean good things for us in the coming weeks/months.
[Motorola Droid X2] ryman222:
Idk if anyone else has brought this up yet, (I didn't read every page). But CVPCS does have a Github directory for DX2Bootstrap. Idk if he has released yet though. Just an FYI, he last updated it 4 Days ago.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
He hasn't "released it" yet. But @clockworkmod says to go ahead and use cvpcs's bootstrap for the X2 for CMR to work. I'm about to SBF to stock to see if it works.
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
Let us know how it works out. This is so COOL!!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
How do you go about installing this? Stock recovery?
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Koush has an x2 now and is working on an official bootstrap. Hold off doing anything with what is released right now, it does not work with the bootstrap we have

Ughh, I'm giddy with excitement.

I've got the same itch as when I was using my original Droid only now it's getting harder and harder to scratch!

Source please?

Looked on cvpcs. Where is it?

Not RMimg 5.0.2.5?
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
its in rom manager... do you have premium?

Edit: nvm you dont need premium Just load rom manager v4.4.0.7 and click flash clockworkMod Recovery. Its there now just checked
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Peperm1nt

"Not RM img 5.0.2.5?"

Yes. It's been there for most of the day.

Are you on 233 or 234 and Tenfar's installed or no?

I tried 5025 on 234 and Tenfars, no go.
[Motorola Droid X2] slowz3r:
so is the dx2 recovery safe to flash via RM?
[Motorola Droid X2] KurioHonoo:
No clue, did it anyway

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
im on 2.3.4 currently. I haven't tried 2.3.3 cause I'm deving my rom right now.

Ive tried 5025 and 5024 with no success. With tenflar and without(just to see). I haven't tried 5023 however, but I would imagine it wouldn't work either. I would guess cvpcs is going to release the strap within a couple days. The source is on his git file site. I just saw 5025 when I posted that on the site. All day I've only seen 5024. 5023 showed up as well with 5025. I'll try 5023 right quick before I flash my phone again.

btw it would make since that 233 would be the only supported firmware currently since its the "official" firmware for our phone. From my understanding Koush just got the x2 the same day with the Bionic. He should have ours finished within the next couple days. Maybe tomorrow :)

Edit: 5023 was a fail on first page.. so no point in me doing it.
[Motorola Droid X2] slowz3r:
will give it a shot tomorrow, dont feel like doing a phone fix at 1 AM

Has anyone thought that flip flop storage might be a possible problem. Also Koush stated early last night it would take a little longer with the X2. Not sure but its probably not ready yet. Can't do much right now at work for the next 13 hrs.

Sent from in Your House
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I was thinking this too actually earlier. When the phone internal mounts everything while in the recovery menu, it switches back to normal(no flip flop). Someone try to put the cache from the SD to internal storage after you install CWM. Ill try it tomorrow while at work. Goodnight guys.

Edit: Went ahead and tried the copy of clockwork folder to both SD and Internal. No success. lol worth a shot I guess.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
People STOP!!!!! I said before Koush has an x2 and is building a new bootstrap. We cannot flash his recovery or use rom manager until he is done. When he is done he will put the bootstrap on market. DO NOT SCREW WITH IT UNTIL YOU HAVE OFFICIAL BOOTSTRAP. You WILL know when its up, everyone will collectively piss themselves.

So when he releases our bootstrap, are we supposed to go buy it then install clockwork over it?

[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I don't see what's wrong with testing and trying to get it to work ourselves. I appreciate the individual efforts that our devs have made in getting us to where we are now but all this started somewhere. If I recall correctly wasn't it c21johnson whogot us the bootstrap we use now? And he was testing with a Chinese bootstrap! Don't dis others for trying different things because you make one more person not want to help the devs out. If we didn't have koush, we wouldn't have even got/be getting cwr. I don't even think c21 is on our phone any more because ppl with ur attitude ran him away.

if u Wanna test different crap on your phone, go for it. You kno the risks.
[Motorola Droid X2] mjdavis871:
Never said there was anything wrong with testing. Not every tester has programming skills, yet you see people flashing just for the sake of flashing. If you're a dev then test away...that's what will make things move forward.
[Motorola Droid X2] rp076:
TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! Enough said peeps...back on subject please. Hope we see this up & running soon
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
I THINK we will need to sbf to remove all traces of our bootstrap, then either buy his from market or wait a few extra hours until he puts up free link. Then run his bootstrap apk, flash his recovery image, then we can run rom manager.
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:

Agreed.

Also, there isnt nonsense. It's people getting mad at others testing.

[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
This thread is full of so much idiocy. After the first xx number of people soft bricked, you think people would be smart enough to not flash this. Glad I waited.
