Will have to look deeper into your suggested method. Will take some time to make it clear about the exact steps... BTW, my device is 3830 Venue 8 HSPA+. Back there in your post there is no file yet for this particular device...

On the other hand, at present I don't care much about 3G/4G, nor am I planning to use them. So, if your procedure includes the backup of the presently installed "production" image (Venue 8 HSPA+_KK4.4_V1.33_140624), that would be cool.

I've modified my post to include the exact model and software version.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
I have the KK4.4.2v133 dumps for that device already and a root kit coming for it soon it's one of two device i have to wrap up the rootkit i just keep keep getting hung up with weighing the pro and cons about a couple of device checks.

there are a couple of users i provided a pre-rooted dump for cause one messed up their ability to install ota and the other user needed the rooted system.img.gz to dump the remaing files to fix the other users device and one of them has been passing it off on another forum as if they rooted it so i kinda put that device off to the side cause it bothered me.

i don't care if people share the links but fixing the broken JB4.3 dump i was provided for that device took alot of work to build that pre-rooted system so i could finish dumping the rest of the needed boot.img and fastboot.img.

I have a A1-830 upgraded to kitkat 4.4.2 but I did not root it. I have problems with the games and I do not know whether it's because I did not root tablet or because of something else. I'd be happy if I could revet to the factory Jelly Bean 4.2. Can You help me ?

JB or KitKat?

First time rooting this tablet?

If so check windows device manager and make sure the fastboot driver installed I suspect that's the issue.

If KitKat make sure your using the KitKat _ROOTKIT for your device not the JB _ROOTKIT.

[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
I think I'll leave [MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION] to answer the question on cwm being it's his skill pushing that forward and I have the Venue 7 not 8, it kinda limits my ability to contribute to that part , though there is suppose to be another Intel release tmrw , (crossing fingers for a refresh of the MDK ( DevEdition ) for Clovertrail Plus that will bring support for unsigned images to V7 ) but what the Intel release is and what Intel Android tablet the release will be for is unknown.

Looking at Samy's (Samsung's) progress of CM11 working WiFi seems to be a big issue.

I suspect graphics / video will be large hurdles to over come too. . .
[Dell Venue] haruitk:
[MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] fingers crossed for tomorow then! Old 7/8 both have clovertaril plus, so i don't expect great surprise if one works to port on another...let me know if you want some testing done on venue 8 3830. [MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION] has one 3830 so i'll wait for his response. Again thanks for keeping Venue development alive :)
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
I don't think there will be any problems with the recovery running on any of the tablets supported by SDC.

The key is to get root in recovery, once you can do that everything else should be no problem.

The recovery needs more testing, none the less if people want to beta test I can make it available.
