[Dell Venue] Droid-K:
Si quieres leer este post en español, lo puse tambien aqui.

Well …….. Foremost, my English is not good. :silly:

I know that many users of Dell Venue has to upgrade to MIUI or CM7 version, because Dell doesn’t provide the upgrades for this device, but there are many complains for bothersome issues, for example the “MUTE” on the phone calls and recording on CM7 and MIUI is the worse issues ever.

…

:cool:

Here I will to explain how revert back to froyo your Dell Venue. I spend many hours on it, because I am super newbie, even now there is steps unnecessaries for knowledgeable people.

This process can be the same for Stock Froyo or Stock Gingerbread (yeah, Gingerbread 2.3.3, TheManii uploaded 3 versions from Olleh on the XDA Wiki).

I recommend the Stock Froyo Thunder 325, because is the most recent Retail Version Froyo for Dell Venue and it has not issues with MMI codes from Occidentals Communications Companies. If you want another version you can Download from the XDA Wiki.

Files required:

Drivers for Dell Venue (ADB_Tethering_Driver.rar & DRIVERS_DELL_VENUE_-_R291096.rar)

Compatible Stock Recovery (recovery.img)

Froyo 2.2.2 (Thunder_325_17232_00.pkg)

MultiRecoveryFlasher.v.0.5.1.rar

Process:

1.	Install the drivers to your PC, if you don’t have it of course and restart.

2.	Put the Thunder_325_17232_00.pkg into your SD (the root directory of the sd, be sure to erase another pkg files or any extensions files, every file except the folders) and rename it to:

“update.pkg”

and turn off the phone.

3.	Set your phone on Fastboot. (Turn off the phone, Move Ringer to Up position, press volume down and the power bottom at the same time, hold both until the dell logo disappear and only shows a white line in the middle of your phone that says “Entering fastboot MODE”).

4.	Connect your phone to the PC and wait to windows configure the new drivers, when it finishes your phone will show a yellow on mode2.

5.	Extract the "MultiRecoveryFlasher.v.0.5.1.rar" on the Desktop, open that folder and copy the compatible "recovery.img" and replace the recovery into one of the folders with recoveries, i suggest you to replace the one in the folder of clockworkmod, because is easier to remember where the recovery was put into.

6.	Double click on “MultiRecoveryFlasher.bat” and it will shows a screen with many opcions to push recoveries into the phone.

7.	Write CR or the number of the folder you replace the recovery.img on the step number 5, press enter, it shows a short advice text, push enter again.

8.	When it finishes the phone will restarts. So press the enter twice and the screen will disappear.

9.	When your phone restarts hold quickly the Volume+ and Volume- until the recovery screen appears (not necessary, but is easier than wait for it starts completely and turn off again).

10.	Select “SW upgrade from update.pkg”, it will shows a screen with blue letter if you read the shorts instructions you will find out that only need to press the shutter of the camera to start to install the new rom.

11.	Congratulations!! Your almost are in froyo, the process from here is automatic, when it finishes the phone will restart and in one minute or two your stock froyo its up.

Ok, now you are into stock froyo only you need to root it again, but you will find out that the SuperOneclicks doesn’t works on your new rom. It apparently happens because Thunder 325 is a release newer than the OneClick method, anyway here the links and try:
