Getting my Dell Venue 7 tomorrow, I'm excited to try a android device with an Intel processor.
[Dell Venue] arclight25:
I will test it as well if needed.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
I spoke to soon it doesn't root all the way need to figure out what's going on.
[Dell Venue] Sportfreunde:
Have a problem, my laptop is no longer recognizing the Venue 7 (it charges it but doesn't show the actual device). It recognized it the first time but I followed the OP instructions to not install the default Windows drivers and install the ones included here instead but I couldn't figure out how to install the ones from here and now it won't show the default ones from Windows either. Windows Device Manager can't seem to update them either.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
finally it took four days but figured it out images will be updated and possibility of new root method...... this might be the last full image flash.

if i can work out all the details to make this new root method easier, users will be able to choose the version of su.... :fingers-crossed:

i currently have koush's su and superuser.apk loaded Venue 7 JB4.3 Dell SW Ver. 1.25 :victory:

New root method works awesome one method for both devices Dell Venue 7 / 8

Only thing you'll have to do first is flash the factory unrooted images back through the toolKit. i hope work is slow tmrw.
[Dell Venue] LordKillZone:
Great news. Can you make a tutorial how to root?
[Dell Venue] chairsz:
so if coming from complete stock JB 4.3 venue 8 no root status, i would simply need to flash the img? or would i have to convert to dev edition and all that jazz first?
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
if you can wait till tmrw you wont have to flash an image at all.
[Dell Venue] chairsz:
oh fashizzle i can wait, thanks to folks like u making our device pimp-able, waiting aint no thang.:good:
[Dell Venue] hunterk11:
Just a side note, is breaking encryption capabilities a known problem of root?

Please quote me in replies.

[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
i don't know, i don't really ever encrypt anything, you did the dev edition correct, if might be a cause of that.

i'll be recommending everyone to flash back to the default images for their device with the toolKIT and then do the update to jb4.3v1.25 will be packaged with the default image download, and then use the new root method also applied through the toolKIT.
[Dell Venue] death-people:
we wait you complete the toolkit。
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Had some family stop by last night didn't get a chance to finish, work was busy so only was able to write the myKIT addition for applying the update.

After my daughter goes to bed tonight I'll write the myKIT side for the new root method hopefully be able to have it all up and ready to download by 2am EST.....

3am wanting to PULL my hair out koush's su binary set fine on the other hand superSU v1.93 sometimes roots correct sometimes don't gonna upload the packages will i work on this some more. ...
[Dell Venue] LordKillZone:
It will be for V7 too???
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Yes it works for both
[Dell Venue] LordKillZone:
When you will make it?
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Its done I just haven't had a chance to write basic instructions on using it yet.
[Dell Venue] LordKillZone:
Ok super. Thanks for info. I am waiting.
[Dell Venue] Breathe of fate:
Yeap. Me too.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
working on instructions taking screen-shots:

here are the links to the factory default packages for the toolKIT these are not pre-rooted the toolKIT will root the system once the toolKIT is up its best to restore to default before rooting with the new method. if your device can successfully install the sw-ver1.25 ota update you wont need to flash back to default but i suggest downloading them incase you ever need to restore your device to an unrooted state.

ok, back to instructions now....

factory default images

Factory Default Device Firmware for Dell Venue 7 jb4.3_sw1.16 + update to jb4.3_sw1.25

Factory Default Device Firmware for Dell Venue 8 jb4.3_sw1.16 + update to jb4.3_sw1.25

note:

the Venue 8 are not full factory sw-ver1.16 the boot, recovery, fastboot images are actually the images from sw-ver1.25 they will still allow the update to sw-ver1.25 to complete and then the device will be back to a default unrooted state.
[Dell Venue] Cookie Ninja:
Wowee... Am I the first to download? Downloading for Venue7. Thanks SDC.

thanks man! I´m anxius for the instructions and the toolkit. Do you have a posible date?

msg to moderator

Thank you it is much appreciated that you didn't just blindly move the thread without asking first.

I don't feel the Venue forums located under the

legacy / low activity devices

is the proper place for these devices, the venue device covered under that is the old failed DEll Venue Phone and not the

New Intel Mobile Internet Class Device

that these tablets are, there were a few threads created by other users for these device under that heading but it seemed to have been causing confusion for both users of the Venue Phone and New users with the Venue 7 / 8 and was hard for new users to find...

The other issue was the original thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2520166 was becoming a very toxic environment users getting upset about people posting general questions in a root thread so i felt the need to separate rooting and general device discussion into two threads.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2681793 the forum you inquired about located under General discussion

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2681783 my other forum also located under General discussion.

While i understand that both these threads are misplaced under the General discussion > General > heading i feel that if they need to be moved a new device should be created for them to keep the seperate from the older Dell Venue Phone. Honestly i fell XDA needs to create a new category to house all

Intel Mobile Internet Class Device

as this is an emerging market.

thank you for your time and please please please on behalf of the Dell Venue

Intel Mobile Internet Class Device

users i beg you not to move our device to the dead section.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
im sending out for testing today so hopefully tmrw for general public download.....
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Look we have a new home now housed under " Android Development and Hacking > Android General > "

Sent the moderator some info regarding Intel-MID class device too so maybe in the near future we will see a new category for all Intel-MID Class Devices :fingers-crossed:

[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
dont install send me the one for the v8 and ill redo the toolkit to install a rooted version if posible but i need to check if it breaks my new root method if it does i can still patch the images manually for root.......
[Dell Venue] sic-ever:
Unfortunately I can't download KitKat. I don't have this 6.8MB update installed due to root break.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
I'll send you the toolKIT with basic instructions postpones the toolKIT release till I work out root on KIT KAT lol downloading for v7 now this was a good weekend to drop let's hope for root by Sunday night....
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
its patched update which means i can root it as long as there is no app that blocks root on boot. expect a status update by morning.....

see you guess got a lot of work tonight.

PS.i need a v8 user to send me the update asap.............
[Dell Venue] sic-ever:
So there is a chance for rooted KitKat image or rooted 6.8MB update? I'm confused now.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
the toolKIT currently flashes back to v1.16 updates to v1.25 and can root v1.25 so there is root already for the 6.8 update.

because kitkat is patched i can apply the update to the images direct and pre-root if the kitkat update breaks my new root method

i can also write a mykit that restores, v1.16 applies v1.25 then applies 1.26 KitKat then roots. all in one action.... so root should be an option from 4.2.2 all the way to 4.4 for both devices but i need the v8 update v1.26 first.

everything i can do for rooting should still work just don't update until i verify everything tonight.... in-case dell broke something i can only say root should be possible as long as you're not on 4.4 before hand installing 4.4 could break all my root methods so dont install unless you can live with the chance of never having root again but ill update friday with status around 12pm EST latest.

both phone and tablet get kitKAT same day i'm playing the lottery..........
[Dell Venue] sic-ever:
So we have to be patient.

BTW.

toolKit is still under development or did I miss something?

[Dell Venue] kairnage:
Cool
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
please do not update to kitkat i cant say for sure if i can root after the update yet more testing needed.

I'm so eager to get started on this tonight... lets see how easy this is going to be......... so far so good dumping patched non-rooted kitkat before rooting now. getting close to first test...... pulling the rooted system before testing getting closer and closer..... waiting is so hard.....

update breaks my new root method :( do not update im going to have to rework the toolKIT for updating and rooting kitkat in one-shot if flashing system.img dont work..... screen shots coming shortly...

havnt tested flashing pre-rooted system images yet...

initial boot post rooted system now... success..... took less than an hour now more testing to put together a method for all

please do not update to kitkat i cant say for sure if i can root after the update yet more testing needed.

great news my new root method only requires me to add an extra step so rooting will be possible gonna be working with a couple v8 users [MENTION=476260]karnage[/MENTION] and hoping [MENTION=2770176]hunter11[/MENTION] to fix the v8 package as it seems the boot.imgs are broken. once the details get worked out toolKIT and root should be out by the end of the weekend i do not recommend updating from the ota dell could change it at any time and break the root method so please be patient i am doing the best i can to capture the ota for the v8 and provide every thing needed for rooted kitkat please stay tuned....
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
well rooted KitKAT off to bed

this is my final warning do not update yet Dell could change the update at anytime and break my root method.

sucessfully rooted Kitkat i know what additions i have to add / change in the toolKIT to root it so its off to bed really glad i didn't release the toolKIT yet would of sucked to of had to have everyone re-download after a week or have dell fix my root method better that they did lol.... please stay tuned.

my daughter will be out at her biological fathers this weekend so i'm going to do my best to get everything updated and uploaded by the end of the weekend.

this is my final warning do not update yet Dell could change the update at anytime and break my root method.

i am working on capturing the ota for the v8 so i can provide everything needed for a rooted Venue KitKat.

so please be patient as of now the Venue 7 KitKat has successfully been rooted on KitKat.

less than 24 ours after the ota dropped i say that's pretty good for being just a hobbyist......

this is my final warning do not update yet Dell could change the update at anytime and break my root method.

note: xposed works on kitKAT with updating the xposed framework :)

so far i'm a big fan of rooted kitKAT........
[Dell Venue] sic-ever:
Unfortunately I don't think if I will update my Venue. There are few annoying bugs in KitKat. First is in settings app, when returning to Main page app crashes. Second bug is related to screen backlight, setting it to the lowest value cause screen flickering. Third and less important, as you can see on Socials screens, cpu-z detects cpu as Arm, not Intel x86. And maybe not a bug but rather a problem, XBMC doesn't work on KitKat.

Btw [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] is downgrade back to 4.3 possible?

Swyped on Venue 7
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
I'm not having the crash in settings ... OK crash in settings happens when hitting the home menu in settings at least with Google Now Launcher there are some bugs. Still we have root.

still no screen flicker issue.

Never mind that didn't fix the cpuz showing as arm but that might have more to do with legacy app compatibility needs more testing other apps report it correctly.

AnTuTu see it correct I'll check a few others tmrw....

As for XBMC I don't use it.

Not yet tested I'll let you know tmrw when I test.

[Dell Venue] Cookie Ninja:
I'm a bit peeved with 4.4.2. No great ui updates but the settings seems to have been dumbed down. Take the location /GPS/WiFi/cellular location settings and the WiFi settings, for example. Google's insidious methods of sneaking default settings favouring google services, has only become worse. And AppOps doesn't work on this either....Maybe I'll skip this update.....

it has nothing to do with it being my baby its based of other open batch kits I just pieced together and added some of my own changes and structured it for the venue device.

Its the principal of it wasn't ready for general use. After this I might put up a PayPal donation to get a v8 so I won't have to rely on other users for test the v8.

Here is a status update from the users end. I was successful in reverting back to full stock from the dev unit and successfully downloaded and installed the Kitkat update. It didn't work perfectly, but that is fine because it was on my end and gave us some points for users to try to troubleshoot their installs if they have issues. Again the toolkit works great the issues were on my end. I am working now to try and get the OTA captured for SDC.

I think that some of the people don't understand what it means to be a tester ;)

I used testers in the time when Nokia 5800 was on the top and I was a cooker. CFW maker was only a human and couldn't find all bugs on his own. Old but good times.

For me art always disables if I hold power till the device turns off during the bootloop then powers pack on suggest making sure your not plugged into power or the PC when powering off by holding the power button but that's all the help I can give for now.
[Dell Venue] sic-ever:
But if he did what he described earlier:

He could done a total mess.
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
Shouldn't it restore to dalvik if you wipe data and cache in recovery?
[Dell Venue] sic-ever:
I think it should, but he flashed back to 4.3 and consequences of this can be unpredictable.

I don't think that changes Dalvik => ART are done in system partition either.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
there's no ART in 4.3 fastboot -w should wipe the device or factory rest through recovery would fix his problem if it was art related

more than likely now that i know the whole story the issue is he didn't flash boot.img back through fastboot 3.10 kernel is going to boot loop 3.34 drivers we saw this on 4.2.2 when people flashed the rooted 4.3 system with out updating to 4.3 if you don't understand that the boot.img needs to be correctly paired with the system.im.gz you have loaded you really need to wait for the toolKIT.
[Dell Venue] sic-ever:
So to make it clear, at this moment he softbricked his Venue.

What about if he would use this package for V7?
