My DVP l is not going through DELL logo.

1) Successfully modified IMGFS from RETAIL rom in Osbuilder.

2) injected via ffparttool to retail back. Noticed imgfs was 10mb bigger than normal, but Ratail filesize remained same (!nokser tool?).

3) Started flashing via updatewp (did same with retail rom before it was ok) after 45 % its became slow like 1% in 1 minute, so I pulled cable at 55%..

Now phone wont boot in bootloader mode. What I see is only Dell screen.

Please give an idea. I suggest information on sdcard is messed up.

Some ideas sorry to ask you if you could check:

1)Does it goes into bootloader mode without sd-card?

2)Does it power's up on usb without battery? Cos my DVP shows Dell screen without battery while connected to usb.

:mad:
[Venue Pro General] Igoran:
I think it was a bad idea to flash any custom ffu without a known way to restore... If you have Jtag Box, why you don't try to find ways to dump stock fw before flash custom? After MJCS brick own device with his custom ffu it's known that flashing wrong ffu may kill bootloader mode.... :( Sadly.

But if you find a way to unbrick your DVP it will be huge step to create custom ROMs for our great device! :)
[Venue Pro General] heineken78:
Ahh just found this post..same issue as have. Finding neverfind dosnt looks promising, also when there is no usb "plumb" on connection, but who knows.

But I guess SD-card can cause (used like wp storage image?)problem here. Thats why Im asking to check.

added

today im going to contact dell sc in ukraine. i really hope that they can help me with turning it back to life.
[Venue Pro General] Igoran:
I think, SD Card cannot affect bootloader.

And, fw and ffu don't write data on SD Card. Otherwise it's be impossible to change SD card on WP7 devices (from 8GB to 32GB, for example).
[Venue Pro General] heineken78:
Agreed with Dell USA. Sending phone to US for RMA.
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
Updates

Man it took me a while just to gather all the files since most of them are hosted on hosting companies that are no longer with us... anyhow, just wanted to organize the findings here.

1) like heineken78 says http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22444422&postcount=36 you need to grab the WP7-Update-Cab-Sender.zip from this posting: (bottom of post 1) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248799

2) make sure you have uninstalled any Windows Phone Support Tools you might have on your comp (control panel > uninstall that sucka) or you'll get error codes when running updatewp in cmd. Install the right version of Setup-UpdateWP-x86/64.exe from this folder: "if needed install this tool" (inside the zip you got from step one). This installs the "Windows Phone Engineering Flashing Tool" program you need.

3) drop the two files (including another updatewp.exe) you grab from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1262471 into program files/zune

4) grab the stock FFU from either of these links:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Venue_Pro#Official (faster)

http://files.mail.ru/DFH3ZD (thanks Igoran from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22415484&postcount=35 )

5) follow the commands listed by lifesaver OP.

Got my DVP up and running after a terrible SD mishap.

And lastly, thank you so much for everyone who helped. Messed up so many phones before but this is the first time I had a realization I might have really bricked a phone for good.... XDA for life.

hello, where I can download the link is down. -

Thanks
[Venue Pro General] alienne:
Thanks, XDA!!!

Oh my God. I honestly thought I was in deep s**t. It's barely been 4 months since I bought my DVP and it was bought in the US. Using it in India now. And I dropped the phone one day and ended up with a cracked screen. The touch has been working flawlessly and I've somehow gotten used to the crack on the screen and look around it. I had been thinking of getting the glass changed which the local Dell Service Centre told me would cost quite a bit, since they replace the entire touch module and not just the top layer of glass, despite that being the only damaged thing.

I had been putting off getting the glass replaced, trying to explore other sources when in the meantime, I received a call one day and the contact name wasn't being displayed, just the number. And the theme color had also changed on the display and I was left confused about what was happening. Once I got done with the call (no problems there), I saw that the phone was showing me the initial WP7 setup, asking me to enter my Windows Live ID and choose options. I thought maybe the phone had gone cuckoo and perhaps needed a good dose of restarting, same as all Windows devices.

On restarting, I got the Dell logo loop and the phone wouldn't start up at all. I had to pull the battery to switch it off and I tried the Camera+Vol Down+Power button trick after some research which only popped up the Connect To PC screen and on opening Zune, I proceeded to try and restore an earlier version of WP7, before the last update (which was about 2-3 months ago anyway).

The restore got stuck at 99% and I tried it another time, resulting in the same error (800700AA).

Then I found this gem of an article and you would not believe how loud my hoot was when I finally saw the Windows Phone logo on the phone after the Dell logo on startup! Wooohooo! :D

Proceeded to install the T-Mo FFU (despite my phone being bought directly from the Dell site and having a different version installed before).

I am now running the Mango build 7.10.7720 and I have no idea why Zune won't show further updates. Not sure if the updates following that one are meant for the DVP or not. But I'm a happy happy gal! :) Thank you, XDA!!!
[Venue Pro General] alienne:
Update on my problem

My phone suddenly went off even as I was using a flashlight app one night, moving from one room to another in the dark. I wasn't looking at the screen at the time, so I'm not sure what exactly could have happened, but the phone just went off and I tried restarting it and got stuck with the Dell logo loop. Again :(

Why, Dell, why???? :( The "Restore" option on Zune seems to have brought back the basic T-Mo FFU I installed 3 days ago.. Now it doesn't seem to be detecting any updates! I'm stuck with 7.0.7008 version, without even copy-paste! :(

It's just been 3 days since I did this whole thing. What's the problem? Why is this happening???? Anybody? Just out of the blue! I've used this flashlight app before and there has been no problem. What is causing the crashes?

Maybe something to do with the updates? Or maybe with the stock SD card? I haven't messed with my phone in any way, coz its barely been 4 months now since I've had it.

Somebody help me out!
[Venue Pro General] drizo72:
EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM...

It happened to me EXACTLY the same way... was using Flashlight app (actually the only one that works with the DVP), and suddenly it switched off, rebooted and stuck on the Dell logo screen...

Returned it to the store so they check it but I doubt they can fix it...

Is there a way to fix this (by replacing the SD card for example) without having to rely on a backup?

[*]Hit enter and DO NOT unplug the phone. This process can take anywhere between 60 seconds and 10 minutes.

[*]This should work and bring you back to the stock state. If it does not you can retry this a few more times but if after 2 or 3 times it does not work then you need to contact Dell as your phone is royally screwed.

[*]You can now re-open Zune, pair your device, and update all the way back to Mango (this could take up to an hour).[/list][/QUOTE]

I was just about to "resurrect" another Dell Venue Pro because it was freezing all the time.

It seemed the only way was to do the unbrick thing. So I did it. The phone went back to 7004 and now there are similar problems:

The phone seems to work OK when it's idle but when I try to adjust the time or try to put my Windows Live ID, the phone freezes again.

So any hint(s) would be highly appreciated. And no, I don't have the original SD card since I bought the phone without SD card. I've been able to "resurrect" two Dell Venue Pro without any problems but this seems to be a real pain in the ass. Broken hardware???

Be aware that T-Mobile is now checking Browser User Agent strings and is apparently blocking those with various things in them -- "Cyanogen" being, apparently, one of them.

Guess how I found this out?

Opera and similar will still work (of course) but this is a particularly-evil thing for them to be doing, as it now means that if you develop up something you're going to have to take some care to EXACTLY match a stock browser ID or it's likely you'll get bounced.

They've used this trick for quite some time to detect tethering, but now it appears they're just denying PHONE strings that are perfectly legitimate and from actual PHONE firmware if it's not theirs.
