How to get into fastboot?

Hi all,

I found this picture online but not sure if this is the fastboot menu? How can I get there and what is the next step? Which option is the fastboot?

[05] SD download confirms to brick the phone :(

Thanks!
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
I think there are two menus. The one with the picture above and another one that you need to use to flash the recovery and system images. Here are steps:

1. Turn the "Mute" switch to "On" (you will see red).

2. Turn off the phone.

3. Turn it back on and at the same time hold the "Volume down" button. You will see a single line saying something about fastboot mode.

4. Now, connect your Venue to your PC via USB cable. On the Venue screen it will say something like " fastboot connected".

5. At that point you can start flashing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6. After you flashed the recovery and rebooted your phone (via fastboot command), you need to disconnect the USB cable from your PC.

7. As soon as you see the Dell logo you need to press and hold both volume buttons (Up and Down). This will take you to a new screen prompt which gives you three lines: one for factory reset, another for sd card update and I cant remember the third one (maybe calibration).

8. Choose the "sd card update" by pressing the camera button and you will see a new screen prompt with blue letters.

9. At this point you need to press the camera button again and the update will start (it will take some time).

10. Once the update is installed your phone will reboot and you need make sure your "mute" button is still on (you will see red) and press and hold the "volume down" button as soon as you see the Dell logo. You will see the familiar single line that says something about fastboot USB mode.

11. Now connect your phone via USB cable back to the PC and it will change the status on the Venue to "fastboot connected".

12. Now you can flash the system image. After the flashing is done, you would need to enter a fastboot reboot command and the phone will reboot and factory reset on it's own.

And that should be it.

If you need help flashing, let me know and I will type up the steps too.

P.S. The option that royoni illustrated via the image in his post WILL BRICK your phone. He warns you and I will too. I have done it and had to send it back to Dell.

Hope this helps:)

these instructions work, I just had to remember to disconnect the USB cable at the right times...

How to get Pinyin IME with Korean rom 2.3.3

Thank! I got my official HK rom Venue updated to 2.3.3 following these steps :)

But how can I get the Chinese input method like "Google Pinyin" to work on this Korean rom? I have pinyin ime installed and activated but the keypad only allows English and Korean?

Thanks again!
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Did you enable it under input settings?
[Dell Venue] royoni:
Chinese input solved

Thanks TheManii, I switched to this Sogo input, now solves my problem. BTW, is it possible to add Chinese Language to this Korean rom?
[Dell Venue] tuan.dsnq:
r00t it, then you will be enabled! :)
[Dell Venue] MJW:
It worked!

I just updated my unlocked build 307/13505 using this exact procedure and it worked! I posted detailed instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19968194&postcount=45

to flash recovery, I used the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

to flash the rooted system, I used the command: fastboot flash system system.img

Good luck to everyone else!
[Dell Venue] SwordLaker:
Yes, but people who are capable of doing so are not in this forum.
[Dell Venue] royoni:
Rooted but languages still show only English and Korean? Thanks!
[Dell Venue] MJW:
Yes, only English and Korean are installed.
[Dell Venue] niranjan2585:
It worked for me thanks for the detailed instructions michaeljwestii

Thanks for the detailed instructions michaeljwestii
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Adding languages isnt difficult, just extremely tedious.

If you're willing to just have the ability to select a language that's very simple and quick.

If you want the stock apps actually translated it takes forever to integrate languages into each one and test them to see if they actually work/dont break the app.

I plan on creating a custom/customized rom next week or so but I'm not sure I'm actually going to release it as the langs are an important part of the rom.

I'll be able to buy a venue soon enough but I dont think I'm gonna actually release anything until it's throughly tested.

Langs are the reason I havnt released any roms for the Streak5, I'd much rather use my own rebuilds but it's so tedious to modify 50 apks. I have early access to most of DJ_Steve's stuff so if it wernt for that I'd be closely mirroring his work.
[Dell Venue] niranjan2585:
Hi michaeljwestii,

I updated my venue to 2.3 following the steps you had provided in your post. It worked for me. I am facing a problem with the dialer, whenever I try to check any of the USSD codes

Ex:- *111#, or any other codes that is offered by my service provider.

I get an error message as connection problem or Invalid MMI code.

Before the update they were working properly. Can you please help me out and let me know if there are any settings I need to make on the phone get it working.

Thanks.
[Dell Venue] kakagi:
It will not work, this is the bug present in the rom...
[Dell Venue] MJW:
From my instructions: "Finally, I don't use MMI codes at all. If that is something you need to do, think long and hard about this, there are at least two reports of this function breaking for some reason with the update."

No idea why they don't work or how to fix them. Maybe someone actually in Korea with service from Olleh can say if they work for them. Also, I have seen that putting a plus sign "+" or a comma "," at the end of the number sometimes works too.
[Dell Venue] changkho1908:
i'm from vietnam, i can't also use MMI codes :( i must use 901 code to check my account :((

my dell venue has been update 2.3.3, but i feel Effects when open, close apps maybe very lag :(

sorry english isn't my lang
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Neither the s5 or venue supports USSD/MMI codes on GB for region 14 (olleh kt) roms.

Your only option is to downgrade to froyo as there's no other region GB roms
[Dell Venue] changkho1908:
:) how can cook room 4.0 ICS :) ? i 'm waiting it so long :)
[Dell Venue] arnelgiga:
Now that CWM of TheManii is out, rooting Dell Phone is possible to all ROMs.
[Dell Venue] gilbertclng:
I got the following error, can anyone help?

After I perform "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (I use 408 recovery.img),

I go to do the update process from sdcard, but I get the following,

Finding update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

E: Error in /mnt/sdcard/update.pkg

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

My dell is just have 2.2, can it be directly update to 2.3.3?

Also, I can't go back to "ENTERING FASTBOOT MODE" whatever what I press (down or up, down together) after turn back the phone on. It just keep go to recovery mode.

Thanks.
[Dell Venue] arnelgiga:
Yes, you can upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3.3 by flashing the recovery.img file using fastboot and the update.pkg thru Recovery Mode.

Did you copy the update.pkg (408 rom) to your SD Card before you do the update?

To get into the fastboot mode, make sure the silent button is on (meaning the red is visible). Power on while holding the volume down button (up and down not pressed together as you have said)
[Dell Venue] x1123:
Please ensure you use 408 recovery and 408 PKG > rename the file into update.pkg > put at root of your sdcard
[Dell Venue] sudathkg:
i flashedrooted system.img to root dell venue 2.3.3.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dr.Strangelove.:
When I charge my phone it only charges to 99%. I'll leave it in for a while, come back and it's only at 99%. Either charging in the wall, or on the computer. It used to make it to 100% then all of a sudden it just stays at 99% regardless how long it charges. So the charging light always stays on and never lets me know when it's fully charged.

Any idea why?

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] going_home:
Mine does that too once in a while, randomly.

But the Sensation would do that to randomly.

Dunno why.

:confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
Battery is strange...

I get that too. But eventually it will get to 100%. There has been times where it was charged to 100% then suddenly drop to 99% even though it still plugged in.

Did you get your phone recently? I'm thinking its because the battery needs to be conditioned.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zellroot:
Mines always does that, as soon as I unplug it it jumps to 98%. Im hoping ARHD fixes this
[HTC Amaze 4G] lester1:
I've installed Battery Widget (from Market) and it reports 100%. I plug in every night and in the morning it reads 100%.

New Amaze Android Revolution HD ROM by mike1986?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Born_Immaculate88:
This happens with many devices. I have not seen this yet on my Amaze but I am sure at some point it will happen. Try turning the phone off and charging it to 100% then power it on also try running the battery all the way down and letting it charge to full UNINTERRUPTED over night. If those dont help you can always try another rom with better battery management or go into a t-mobile store and get a battery replacement if your battery is still under warranty. Hope this helps
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
HTC does this on a lot of phones. It is a safety default to keep the battery healthy and safe. I had this issue with the Evo. The only way to fully charge a battery is to have other a wall charger or a SBC kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zellroot:
its the best sense rom known to man in my opinion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
My stock battery is 3.8v, and it only goes to 100% if I charge it in the phone. If I use my wall charger, it shows up at 99% when I put it back in my phone. I have two aftermarket batteries that show about 98% when charged from the wall. I am thinking that the phone charging circuit is set for 3.8v, and might possibly overheat the aftermarket batteries (3.7v). I saw one review that said these batteries melted the top of his SIM card. I'm not planning on trying that; I use the stock, charging every night, and swap the spares in if I run out of charge during the day.
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
I just remember hearing the same stories when I had my evo. You could charge for hours and unplug it and it would almost immediately drop to 99 or 98. So my previous statement may or may not help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RZJZA80:
I charged mine over nite and woke up to it being 99%, left it for another hour or two and it hit 100%. I would say to leave it a little longer to get that last 1%.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
For anyone who is running quicksense, if you want better battery life, charge your phone completely and go into recovery > Advanced> wipe battery stats. And done! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I find that if my phone its powered off while charging, it shows 100. If powered on, it shoes 99.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
this is normal for lithium ion batteries...it also depends how the manufacturer perceives the battery...some manufeacturers say that your phone is 100 percent but it might only be around 95-98...overcharging lithium ions are bad...also some manufacturers say you have 10 percent left while you might actually have 15 or maybe to percent left...this is a fail safe method to shut off the phone and keep the battery from draining completely WHICH IS REALLY REALLY BAD FOR LITHIUM IONS...OVER CHARGING THE BATTERY IS BAD TOO...perhaps htc's thresh holds are a little different and actual to the real battery life.

also not a good idea to use your phone or any lithium ion device while its charging

powering off your phone to charge it overnight is the best idea to give you lithium ion a long life but this is not practical. this is why it says 100 percent when you turn off the phone and 99 when you're phone is off....it confuses the phone: " A portable device must be turned off during charge. This allows the battery to reach the set threshold voltage unhindered, and enables terminating charge on low current. A parasitic load (which means using phone or turning screen on while its charging) confuses the charger by depressing the battery voltage and preventing the current in the saturation stage to drop low. A battery may be fully charged, but the prevailing conditions prompt a continued charge. This causes undue battery stress and compromises safety."

My phone is great otherwise, and I don't want to risk getting a phone that suffers from something worse. I am still in my 30 day period, so I want to fix any problems while I can.

It doesn't really bother me, and I will probably forget about it soon enough but it was distracting when I first noticed it watching a movie on Netflix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jetarpon:
Mine does. It's only noticeable with a black screen at night, so it's no big deal to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rg400smarttowel:
I have that problem only when viewing a black background when the lights are off.

I would say that my "blobbing" is a little bit worse than what you see there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
Some are worse than others. On my first SGS2, an entire third of the screen was discolored. The second was worse- a fourth was discolored with lines across the screen. The third one, and the one I kept, only has two small spots on the left side.

If it bugs you, go to the store and get the best one they have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JaRay:
How exactly do you check for it in the store? The fact that it is only noticeable in dark conditions is hard to check for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RexEscape:
I don't think I'm experiencing these black spotty colors. However...

My first SGS2 had some pixel problems. See image below. That line of pixel shows a higher contrast of whatever is displaying on that row of pixels. It only shows up at certain times when the videos or photos show some color or contrast threshold that activates these problem lines of pixels.

My second SGS2 has a soft (almost) black glow at the bottom on landscape (or left side at portrait) against a completely black background only noticeable at night (like when I'm in bed with the bedroom lights off). This doesn't bother me that much. I'm keeping it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JaRay:
I don't think I understand what you are talking about on the second picture. When viewing a black background at night my whole screen has a somewhat grey glow to it. The blobs show up as solid black against the grey.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RexEscape:
I don't have the blobs, however, I do have a soft line that runs across the screen. You should be able to see a simulated screen from this picture I've posted. If you don't see the line at the bottom of my black image, stand up or crouch down and see your (LCD) monitor from an angle. It'll show up. I guess I DON'T have these blobs that you guys are talking about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
I told them it only happens in the dark, and so they took it into the back into some closed-off office. Of course, I also threatened to just return it outright and buy the same phone somewhere cheaper (like the Wal-Mart across the street) if they didn't play ball.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sheikgr:
Hey guys. I am facing a weird problem.

A little background first. I have the u8800 pro. When i bought the phone, the internal storage space was from what i recall 900+MB(almost 1 GB) and was available to me. I installed some apps, a few days passed and then i saw that an update was out(official 2.3 from huawei website).At this time, i had about 700+MB available.

I did the update, everything went fine but after i installed THE SAME apps i had before(through the huawei backup app) i noticed that now the available internal storage space was reduced by 150MB(about 550 total).

So today i decided to do a wipe data/factory reset to free some space because i thought that the "missing" 150 MBs were "garbage" left from the previous installation.

I did the reset , and i noticed that i had only 470 MB available.Without installing anything. I had a "clean" phone, only with the stock apps and i expected that i would have again all of 900+MB available. I did another factory reset,back to back, and when i turned on the phone, the storage reduced even more, now at 420 MB! And after the installation of all the other apps i had before, there is only 200MB storage.

What the hell is going on? Is there a solution?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
One thing could worth trying: Re-install the 2.3. Download it from Huawei and install it. If you dont want to try it, you can go to the store that sold it to you and ask them. If you go to store, it will probably be sent to warranty for repair.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sheikgr:
I installed DiskUsage from market and the results it shows me are:

Applications 135 MB

System Data 560MB!

560 MB for system data seem A LOT to me...

I did a clean installation of 2.3 again, but the storage now, is even lower. With NO 3rd party app installed, 320 MB available.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
In that case, restore stock rom and take it to warranty. We cant do anything to it here.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sheikgr:
