@marvin02: I checked and found out thar zergRush newest version was released on 11/16. So, I think it's worth a try.

But now, my Venue's build is 406, so I will have one of my friends who owns 325 to check and give feedback here later. :)
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
I did try zergRush on a Dell Streak with a similar build with no luck. Hope it works on BB325 for the Venue owners. I am now using the Venue full time, but have BB 307.
[Dell Venue] cyapalmpos:
Gingerbreak will work on Froyo? I thought it was only for GB. Hmm... I'll give it a try. At the worst I brick the wife's phone! MUAH HAH HAH HAAAAA

oh wait, then she'll steal my Streak

NOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Dell Venue] tuan.dsnq:
Marvin02: I did try, but could not root 325 with any tools provided in this forum (z4root, universal androot, zergRush, gingerbreak, and other legacy tools)! :(
[Dell Venue] crocher000:
Is it really safe to upgrade my Venue v.2.2.2 to 2.3.3?? Don't want any risk. :(
[Dell Venue] tuan.dsnq:
No pain, no gain sira! :) Actually, I think you can try without any risks. However, it's better if you know how to rollback your upgrade to lower version.

@marvin02, themanii: I can see another problems of 2.3.3 (406) beside the 'blinking leds':

- when I tried to dial service code like *99#, an error message raised: invalid MMI code.

- despite my phone's RAM is 512 (as it reports with 2.2.2), upgrading to 2.3.3 you will see there is only 384. Maybe, 128 is used for another purposes, I don't know. :)
[Dell Venue] crocher000:
Can you teach me how to make a rollback if something might happen? Sorry, Newbie.

My friend, this is .img file to fastboot to Dell Venue, I used it, now i has 2.3.3 Rooted http://www.mediafire.com/?hbag5amdukmxl2h
[Dell Venue] kakagi:
hey im from india and currently my dell venue is in foryo 2.2.2. can anyone tell me the step to upgrade it safely to gingerbread without bricking my phone please?:o
[Dell Venue] tuan.dsnq:
Hi, below are the steps:

Flash recovery.img (319) to your widget using FastBoot+ADB (you can easily find it in TheManii's topic entitled "stock images... unbricking..." I don't remember exactly

Copy 319's update.pkg to your sdcard

Turn off your phone, then hold Vol +, Vol - at once along with pressing Power On

When you're in recovery mode, choose to upgrade from update.pkg

while (the work is not completed yet) wait();

OK, so now you're in 319, Olleh. I suggest you use Olleh 406 (2.3.3 GB), like this

Delete 319's update.pkg from your sdcard, copy 406's update.pkg there instead

do { 3, 4, 5 }

OK, welcome you to Olleh 406 (2.3.3 GB)!

More questions?
[Dell Venue] kakagi:
if i flash the gingerbread rom then my mmi code for checking balance, sms etc will not work? and does this rom causes frequent boot while the phone is in idle?

sorrry to disturb you with lots of questions...
[Dell Venue] tuan.dsnq:
Hi kakagi,

It's true that MMI code will not run - I experienced the problem myself with Olleh 406. There are also times when the fone is idle, it will be turned off - and without removing and then insert my battery again I cannot boot it! :(
[Dell Venue] MJW:
It worked!

I just updated my my unlocked build 307/13505 and so far it works great!

upgrading to GB

Hi michaeljwestii,

I also own an US 307/13505....

Would you mind summarizing exactly what you did to upgrade to GB (where did you get the GB ROM from and what were the steps to get the Venue updated? I have never flashed a new ROM...so more info is better...;-) ...or are the steps outlined by kakagi sufficient?)

Does GB run well on the Venue....any inputs you can share?

Thanks!

[Dell Venue] SwordLaker:
For those who haven't done this yet, be kind to yourself and consider before doing so.

1. This will void your warranty.

2. There is a chance of bricking the device if you accidentally mess things up. Fixing might be possible, but I'm not confirming.

3. There are only two languages following the re-flash: English and Korean

4. There is a strange feature in messaging app that converts long SMS to MMS. This might annoy some people. Fixing is possible, but it's another complicated work (for an average user).

5. This ROM is full of (Korean) Olleh bloatware. Again, removing is possible, but you probably don't know how to.

6. Once you go, you can't go back. AFAIK.

7. If you can't figure out how to do it yourself, looks like you're not good enough to decide for yourself. In that case, it's better for you not to do it. Seriously.

PS: If you're looking to play with custom ROMs and development scene, Dell Venue simply isn't the place to do so. If you haven't done that before, you shouldn't try, on Dell Venue at least.
[Dell Venue] xavier.vista:

[Dell Venue] chiwah:
Macau friend Any problems with the rom so far? Wifi etc rooting etc?
[Dell Venue] xavier.vista:
so far none... works great, except that i tried removing some of the stock apps like dialer & contacts and the phone lost signal. so i had to do it all over again! heheh my fault.

wifi rooting & restoring app loads no problem here big thanks to xda! =)
[Dell Venue] chiwah:

[Dell Venue] muralisn:
I tried upgrading my unlocked build 307/13505 to 2.3 and bricked my phone. The phone was restarting at the Dell logo with the 3 blinking button at the bottom.

Finally had to restore it back to 2.2 stock ROM.

Should i retry these steps multiple time to be successful.
[Dell Venue] arnelgiga:
Upgraded my Dell Venue with 325 ROM to Gingerbread 408 ROM rooted. So far so good. Sound improves a lot, speed up and so much improvement...

I love my Dell Venue more than ever!
[Dell Venue] WildeRNS:
why you installed 406?

how the speed of menu? smooth?

i installed 408, but it is not smooth :(
[Dell Venue] experx:
As I wrote, I was struggling with the dell logo issue and read that 406 works.

So I tried with 406 and everything came up running smooth.

Yes, the menu's etc are smooth. I changed the launcher and all is good now.
[Dell Venue] dioalf:
worked perfectly

experx: thank you for your instructions. It worked perfectly for my Venue (frwr: 325, umts or att version, unlocked). I am using now the 408 firmware. I was having problems withe the performance in 325. Now it is working much better.
[Dell Venue] WildeRNS:
If u have 408, and animations are not smooth: in file /system/build.prop need to be changed in line debug.composition.type=mdp to debug.composition.type=gpu. After that, a very smooth animation system, but suffers a bit in 3D games.
[Dell Venue] spidy30:
thanks a lot i check it
[Dell Venue] lkRaven:
Does these instructions work for the retail version also?
[Dell Venue] rwanauo:
worked

I updated from version 307 following these directions.

I went to 406 (since I wanted to stick to the original instructions.)

2 things I noticed, the voicemail number was locked and was set to something that did not get me to my voicemail. Also, the carrier name was not being displayed, just 31064. (search for networks shows the correct info, just not the lock screen.)

I updated to 408 from 4.6 hoping that would fix the VM and Carrier display issues, but it did not.

Everything else has been working fine though. It is so much better than 307.

This was the first time I have ever updated a phone, so I am a total noob and managed to do it first time.

thanks for the detailed steps!
[Dell Venue] lkRaven:
Many thanks for the step by step guide...it worked. Had trouble changing the language..but managed to do it from memory. Currently re-installing the apps I am used to.

Due to my ignorance I lost all my contact info. Hope I can restore them from my old Nokia again.
[Dell Venue] chin10:
Hey guyz...

I'm from India and right now running on 2.2

I desperately wanna update my Venue to GB but also I don't wanna brick my phone.

As I'm new to this I have no idea how to root my phone plus i also don't know how to install GB in it.

But I'm really tired using the old froyo :(

So will someone tell me how to install GB in my phone in a easy language as I have no experience in this.

May be a video on YouTube??

And is it risky??? Should I do this? Will I brick my phone?? And last one Will I face any problems if I have successfully installed GB???

Sorry for so many questions :(

Please Help.

Here are the steps that our fellow forum member put together specifically for requests like yours: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19968194&postcount=45

Unfortunately, I don't have time to do a video due to work. If someone else can - perhaps you can help this guy out.

Please read carefully if you decide to take the plunge to GB. Yes, you could potentially brick your phone. If you read and learn all the steps, and search the forum for more information you should have enough knowledge to do so safely. But the final responsibility is on you, as usual. Good luck.
[Dell Venue] lkRaven:
Use these instructions and it should work. It worked for my retail ROM.
[Dell Venue] chin10:

I read it and right now I'm not thinking of doing this(can't afford to lose my phone)

may be in future I'll try this.
[Dell Venue] lkRaven:
I have been using the new 2.3.3 rom for a couple of weeks and have a few points to share. Apart from the obvious GB UI improvements, the performance is not hugely increased.

I have 2 problems that I get occasionally. Sometimes the phone will not charge when powered on (neither through the PC or Wall outlet).

Phone restarts suddenely. Prior to upgrading the froyo retail rom was really stable and bought not issues.

Any one else having similar experiences? Are there any fixes to this?
[Dell Venue] andi81:
Hello,

is there a chance to get the german language for the 2.3.3, too?

You can install StreakDroid4 2.5.0 - it has all of the languages and is basically clean stock (minus the bloatware) with some tweaks.

Brand new to android and just got a Venue. I looked through the post you gave and skimmed through alot of this thread but didnt notice if I have to first root my phone before trying to go to gingerbread. Sorry if it is a stupid question but as I said I am brand new to android. Thanks in advance.
[Dell Venue] MJW:
You don't need to root the stock Froyo build before upgrading to GB. The system image (the 4th file to download on my instructions) is pre-rooted. Good luck!
[Dell Venue] jacktrck:
One more question. I got the unlock code from Dell. If I do a factory reset do I have to put in the code again? If so is the same code going to be valid? Also if I try Gingerbread and dont like it can I just do a factory reset and it will be like new again?
[Dell Venue] MJW:
I believe that once the phone is unlocked, it stays that way. Also, if you want to revert back to Froyo, the files are here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Venue. I don't know if there is a functional difference between builds 319, 323 or 325. i think that the recovery file that matches the build version would need to be flashed on the phone before the downgrade would be possible.
[Dell Venue] aces170:
I am trying to install the GB ROM on a friends Dell Venue, as his current Froyo ROM has become extremely buggy and unresponsive.

I have downloaded all the apps as instructed but I am stuck at step 8, I just get the entering Fast boot mode option on the screen, connecting the USB cable does nothing and I have to reset the phone removing the battery etc. The mute slider is on (I can see the red part), any help is appreciated.

Install the CM7 based GB 2.3.7 ROM posted here with steps

Its easy and good to work with
[Dell Venue] aces170:
I was finally able to install the stock Korean GB ROM. Apparently as I have a number of Samsung Android devices, the comp had defaulted to a Samsung Android driver on my computer and hence I could not enter in the fastboot mode on Dell venue. This will help people who are rooting/installing different android devices on the same computer:

1. Connect the device

2. Go to Contol Panel in Windows, and locate device manager

3. In device manage your device should appear as an exclamation mark (usually in other devices)

4. Right click and select properties -> Driver details -> Update drivers

5. Select the manual install option, and point towards the folder with drivers (in this case point towards the fastboot+adb folder)

6. Ignore the Windows warning

This got the right driver.

After installing the Korean GB ROM, installing CWM and MIUI Roms was a breeze. Device is working gazillion times faster now, and all critical functions are working (wifi, camera, call reception/quality etc). I always loved the themes in MIUI.

Some observations, I have rooted and installed custom ROM's on Samsung Galaxy S, SII, and Note. It was so much more easier for those devices, I was actually tearing my hair off getting the command lines right :P here.

This phone is a nice device, if you dont use the default Dell Froyo ROM's. Friend was going to dispose off the phone for INR 1500 (30 USD) and buy a crappy HTC Desire C, just saved some money for him, and a few beers for me :)

As usual appreciate all the members input here especially streak4m3 and experx

They all are close to AOSP, just a case of personal preference for features. They are AOSP roms with minor modifications, or rather fixes. Things like 3G SIP calling and downloading any file type.

Woke up this morning to see a message stating my phone updated on its own. Scared me because I'm rooted and everything. I didn't notice any changes though. I can't remember the exact message but it did say service update. Did a speed test on 3g and found 1mbps down. I used to get 400k.

I'm just south of Chicago btw.
[HTC EVO 3D] krayziejoe:
I got the same update, anyone know what its for?
[HTC EVO 3D] dannytill:
Woke up this morning to the same message about a service update. Whatever they did is very nice. Download and upload speeds seem to both be much improved but whats even more impressive is the ping time which is vastly improved. I don't think I've ever seen ping times that fast on 3G. As you can see in my sig even 4G ping times have been much slower.
[HTC EVO 3D] erikivy:
I saw something similar last night around 10:30 PM EST. I clicked "cancel" or whatever as soon as I saw it pop up, but I think I was too late. I had been running CM for several weeks, but just flashed a Synergy ROM to have something different a day or so ago. Just my luck that they would send out a non-optional update during a time when I'm on a Sense ROM. I suspect an AOSP ROM wouldn't have been affected. Anyway, I haven't noticed any significant changes in speed, but have yet to really test it. I wonder if this is part of the whole Network Vision thing?
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
Got the same service message as well (Chicago area phone currently in Sioux Falls - affiliate network Swiftel)

[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Also, sorry for sort of a double post if anyone plans to complain. I was getting ready for work when I did this and didn't even look at other posts.

Now that that's out of the way... I kinda kept an eye on my service on my way to work, which is a 50 minute drive through the country roads, but still close enough to the city that i'm not in the boonies. Was streaming Pandora to get a feel for it, but as soon as I got a mile or 2 away from home, service dropped to 1x, but full bars. It stayed that way until I got to work... maybe they're still working on things here.

I got the "...service updated" Message last night around 10:30 CST (KC/Central Mo area). PRL is the same version as before. I have NEVER seen a dialogue message like this before, ever, with sprint. I am on a rooted custom ROM as well. SO much for thinking we have "total" control of our devices.

3G speed tests today show consistently faster downstream. I'll continue testing.

My Evo 3d is hitting over 2 MB with pings under 100. My Evo 4g is around 1 MB with varying pings. I am running MikG 2.59 on the Evo 4g. The service update looks like they enhanced the 3g speeds for the Evo 3d IMO.

Got the forced update in Sacramento this morning. My 3G signal is much improved in my office. 100ms ping, 1.32Mbps down, .37mbps up. Before I could hardly connect at all.

Oh, 4g still sucks though.

MASSIVE improvement here:

before always >300ms and never 1mbps down (generally 300-600) or 300kbps up...

NOW

all day on different towers <80ms; almost 2mbps down; and approaching 1mbps up

Near Baltimore/Ellicott City

I don't see any chatter on the evo og, evo shift, epic 4g, ... re the update.

BUT - It does seem some evo3ds are unaffected - still 300ms pings and horrible down speeds.

So I keep running into an issue, but I figure I should give some background details first to bring it up to speed.

I got to 6.893 a couple of days ago, but needed to restore back to .886 and I applied the 4EVER Root

I followed the path above but I keep getting the following error when I attempt to install the 5.893 update in the sequence from this post: rootzwiki.com/topic/8562-easily-upgrade-to-57893-and-keep-root/

assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:8388608:string of numbers:8388608:string of numbers")

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

Now assuming since I have the 6.893 radio, I think I would need a zip that is made to go from .886 to .6.893. If that is the case if someone has such a zip that would be awesome!

If not then please make me eat my words I have searched high and low and have not found a solution to this issue.
