Yesterday i installed xposed framework and restarted my tab and it got stuck at the boot screen .I tried hard reset its not working. i googled it and it showed me to re install the android os.So how do you do it.Please help me.

I have a memory card,phoenix tool i just dont have the img. PLEASE HELP ME

SORRY about that,i have have a dell venue 7 3g.i downloaded this file "Venue_7_3G_KK4.4.2v1.33_FLASHPKG".

So is this the right file.Cause when i try to open it in phoenix tools it shows an error "SCRIPT not found! Find a new version of the firmware."

thank you for taking your time to read this.
[Dell Venue] megaghostgamer:
It's unnecessary to do a complete reinstall of the os, all that is needed is an xposed uninstaller. It'll remove the framework from the system and you should be good.

How to flash PKG file

Messed up my dell venue 7 3g so much it doent even enter boot animation.so i can only go to bootloader recovery,i can install the temporary cwm ,so how do i flash the pkg.7z file i had downloaded please help me

Solved it had to flash the system.img.gz without extracting it

Dell venue 8 won't reboot, got stuck will dell logo,,,

My Dell venue 8 3830 kk 4.4.2 sw 1.33 wont reboot

Actually, i wanted a nandroid backup so i did a tethered CWM one

but the CWM wont remain after reboot.

I looked for a permanent fix and end up rooting,unlocking bootload ( with unlocked firmware), flashing recovery but was not successful

still CWM wont remain only a lying android with exclamation with no command.

I end up got stuck, it wont reboot. I managed to do a factory reset from system recovery(by pressing power+vol up buttons)

i tried restore my backup by flashing the CWM . It shows error system restore and it went back to reboot.

It did not do the complete restore. I stuck right there, it wont reboot from the cus. recovery. I tried the wipe data and cache, factory reset

but nothing happens. For now, if i press the power and vol down i can get to the droidboot with (FASTBOOT INIT......

FASTBOOT CMD WAITING.......) at the bottom, then when i hit the recovery it shows the dead android with no command, i can get back to system recovery by hitting the power and vol up button.

My computer can recognize my device tru the flashboot from the SDC kit and i can also flash the recovery. When i connect to the power plug after power off it shows the battery symbol charging

So please help me out of this situation. I also thank SDC, Vampirefo and all others for their time and contribution. The SDC root kit is really awesome, its like all in one, truly brilliant. Thanks in advance,,,,
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
The recovery you flash is outdated recovery, first post links to current 37 recovery.

However most current recovery is my port of carliv touch recovery.

Temp cwm recovery never installs, SDC and myself have said that over and over, it does not install ever, so you will always have stock recovery.

To get temp to work, you have to repeat the same process every time just like the first time you used it.

[Dell Venue] dawgdoc:
The instructions infinity515 gave you should solve your troubles. I soft bricked a different device while attempting to install an alpha version of a custom recovery. I ended up accidentally erasing the stock recovery and and damaging the boot image. Anyhow, I restored the device in a manner similar to what infinity515 suggested.
[Dell Venue] johnny.JA:
@ infinity and dawgdoc

I appreciate your help, i have a couple of questions:-

1. I downloaded the link( thank u Vampirefo), i see 2 folders(META-INF and system) and a boot .img. I searched those folders,

sorry i cant find the recovery.img, i want to know to if the boot.img is the same as recovery.img?

I got the system.img.gz form the 1st page of this thread.

2. Pls let me know how to do with CWM, until now i have been using the Mykit_BATCHv1.1.2 and enter the fastboot to flash the files(without CWM) but CDC metioned he has replaced it with standalone batch script/shell script,

he also mentioned running the launcher.bat file i don't know how. I downloaded the IntelAndroid-FBRL-01-17-2015.7z but i don't know how to run the luncher.bat file. All i know is the run me from the mykit

3. So can i flash those file by using the fastboot using the mykit( without CWM) because my computer can see my device through fastboot or adb. pls give me your suggestions

Sorry, i did not mean to be a pain, i just want to double check before i proceed so i don't mess up again. Thanks for the support.
[Dell Venue] KraCkaVeli33:
If you are flashing stock files you don't need custom recovery in fact you don't need to boot into recovery.

All right so install adb and fastboot.

Open cmd and make sure your device is visible.

Now type cd and the directory of your adb and fastboot files eg mine is c:/adb so I'll type CD c:/adb

To flash the recovery.img place the recovery.img in the directory of fastboot.exe and in cmd type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and enter.This should flash the recovery.

Similarly place boot.img as before and this time type fastboot flash boot boot.img.

For system.img.gz type fastboot flash system system.img

Hope this helps.This method helped me unbricking my venue.
[Dell Venue] johnny.JA:
Thank you for the prompt reply, so did you change the name img.gz to system.img because i see a note by CDC not extract but to remain as the same and its correct format to flash. I will try and let you know hope it works. Tanx
[Dell Venue] KraCkaVeli33:
No I didn't change the name you need to type it as system.img even though it is system.img.gz
[Dell Venue] dawgdoc:
If you haven't found a recovery yet, the way I found one was to download a stock image from the second post of this thread. From that, I extracted the recovery image.
[Dell Venue] johnny.JA:
@ infinity515

Did you use the ADB+FASTBOOT.zip to install the adb and fastboot or the open source dell one. As i told early i was using the myKit tools to flash via fastboot but Vampirefo mentioned its outdated so iam going to try manually this time. I used it to update the abd drivers and dell drivers but i dont know whats wrong.

one more thing so i can use the recovery.img, boot.img from the flashPKG.7z rite(which is my version) because there is a boot.img in the link you gave me. Thanks a lot.

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

@dawgdoc

Thank you, i already downloaded it now iam getting ready to setup the adb and fastboot. I appreciate your help.
[Dell Venue] johnny.JA:
I flashed the recovery and boot, but when i flashed the system.img.gz file it says error opening the system.img.

It was a zip file, and i suppose you did that way as you mentioned in your post.

my command was fastboot flash system system.img
[Dell Venue] dawgdoc:
If it was a .zip or .7z file, then unzip it and flash system.img.gz contained within.

If it was the img.gz, then I don't have the solution.

What you are wanting is the system.img. A .gz file is a compressed/zip format. It should flash as a .gz file. These devices will not flash the system.img if uncompressed because the file is too large for the partition used in the process, I don't recall if it is /cache or /tmp, or some other partition.
[Dell Venue] johnny.JA:
Thanks for the reply, i can understand what you r saying, i am talking about the system.img.gz which is inside the FLASHPKG.7z under the Stock rom on the 2nd page which you also mentioned earlier. I did extract it inside was the system.img.gz

The file name was lengthy with the version name(Venue_8_WiFi_KK4.4.2v1.33.system.img.gz) so i cut short to system.img.gz its a gz file but it shows as a zip file under my RAR extract.

There is a note left in the stock rom page by SDC that it should be flashed as such and not extract. I wish infinity515 also mentioned in his post that he flashed same as that, i did as it is, my command was fastboot flash system system.img and flashed but i got a error cannot open system.img. So i dont know how to do that and i dont know how infinity515 either.

I am just thinking if i can place it in the sd card and flash it tru the system recovery. I dont know got to look into it. Any idea?

[MENTION=6425153]infinity515[/MENTION]

Hey, how did u manage to flash it through fastboot?

Thanks for all the support. I appreciate your help.
[Dell Venue] dawgdoc:
There's your answer. You would need to flash it as

flashboot flash system Venue_8_WiFi_KK4.4.2v1.33.system.img.gz

or whatever the exact name of the file is.
[Dell Venue] johnny.JA:
@ Dawdgdoc

Hurray! it worked!! i used the command system.img.gz and it started writing and set to reboot.

Very happy to see it get past the dell logo, finally its alive. I am very thankful to all of you guys. Infact, i have learnt something.

I am planning to root and put a permanent CWM after install all the apps and stuff, so i just want to ask you a doubt,

in order to root i need to install the temporary CWM and place the update.SUPERSU in the sd card and flash using the temp CWM,,,,,as mentioned in the Intel Android devices root thread.

And then i need to install the carliv touch recovery of Vampirefo ,, am i rite, correct me if iam wrong.

Once again i am very thankful all for the help and support. i specially thank u and infinity515 for your volunteer help. I will also make a donation.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
If your on the venue 8 3830NoModem you don't need to do the tmp recovery you can skip to unlocking the bootloader to support unsigned images then flashing the recovery

Can't remember the file names off the top of my head but its

fastboot flash dnx dnx-filename.bin

fastboot flash ifwi ifwi-filename.bin

fastboot reboot-bootloader

--wait for device to reboot into fastboot mode--

fastboot flash recovery recovery a filename.IMG

fastboot reboot recovery

Oh then flash su installer zip to root
[Dell Venue] dawgdoc:
Glad to see it worked for you.

Use these instructions posted by SDC. I can't unlock the bootloader on my device, therefore can not install a permanent, custom recovery. The one time I tried was an ugly day. I have recovered the device but have not attempted again.

Can anyone help me unlock the bootloader and install permanent cwm on dell venue7 3g
[Dell Venue] johnny.JA:
Thanks for the reply, i understand what you mentioned, your commands are for the carliv touch recovery for a permanent CWM by Vampirefo .

Mine is Dell v8 3830 4.4.2 SW 1.33 kernel v 3.10.20 no modem

Vampirefo had mentioned that i need to be already rooted before i continue to unlock bootloader with the unlocked_firmware

Thats what i understood, here is the link:-

http://xdaforums.com/dell-venue/general/carliv-touch-recovery-dell-venue-8-3830-t3012007

Any how for now i am very happy to be out this mess,

I aslo wanted to ask you, why did you replaced the mykit_Batch 1.1.2 with the standalone batch script for whatever reason; i think for me its truly awesome, i have been using for flashing fastboot its very simple to use. I did compare with the manual CMD using the sdk android

its the same.

Your kit does everything on its own, it updates the adb drivers, install apk and even do a back up( haven't tested though) it also flashes the pakages files. I think a novice like me its very useful and simple, also to mention i havent seen any kit like this. Brilliant. I am using it on my windows 7 so no issues.

I haven't used the standalone batch script yet so i will let you know.

I need confirmation about using the carliv touch recovery before rooting.

I once again thank you and Vampirefo for the awesome work. I also thank all the members for their time and support. I will do my contributions too.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

Thanks for the suggestion, iam waiting for confirmation.

How do you know your bootloader is locked or unlocked, and how to confirm?

Did you try the unlocked_firmware? I mean still you cant unlock the bootloader

I am asking this because i used the unlocked_firmware and the recovery(the previous one i think its like 4.4 recovery.image) i was able to flash the recovery and it was ok but when i reboot its not there anymore( I DID THIS BEFORE I GOT BRICKED). I was not bricked because of this but when i tried to restore my nandroid backup from the CWM i got stuck there. It showed error restoring system and that it it did not do the complete restore. It stuck right there.

I am not using my backup again, doing it manually to install apps and stuff, iam yet to try the latest CWM. I did not understand what you mentioned about having a bad day, r u talking about using the latest unlocked_firmware and recovery. Could you pls breifly explain.

Mine is Dell V8 3830 4.4.2 sw 1.3.3 kernel 3.10.20

Is your device same as mine. Thank you once again.

i tried backing up using adb but adb doesn't recognize my device whereas fastboot recognizes.

Should i get a diff version of adb or should i install sdk tools.

I installed temp cwm and adb recognizes my devices but when i type adb backup -all it asks for permission and i cant as i am in temp cwm.

When im in bootloader and i tyoe the code it shows the error adb; unable to connect to device

Please help me i want to backup my apps,games and my files.

Forget it no one replied so I just flashed the system.zip.gz and erased all my work with my games and apps.

P.S. I followed the instructions in this video

[Dell Venue] KraCkaVeli33:
Hey buddy have the same tab and tab and the same windows and almost the same problem.For you both your adb and fastboot are not recognised as the color is in red,so try downloading Intel or google drivers.

Try different pc or if you can boot into windows 7 and try, it might work.

Try using a different cable.

Try revoking USB authorizations

Try turning on and off USB debugging.

Try connecting and disconnecting cable from your PC.

Try different storage option(mtp or camera).

Definitely try diff PC as your USB port could be damaged.

hey guys was searching a quick way to root my device and i came to know that you can root almost any device if their kernel ver date is below june 3 2014 using towelroot and my dell venue 7's date is june 2014 and its KK. So therefore the kernel date of JB will be older than KK so it might be older than june 3 2014 and we might get one click root using towelroot.

So if anyone has JB on their device can you please try it.

Rooting Dell Venue 7 Z2560

I am currently using this device from past 3 months, and i am facing some crash on some apps. The device also gets rebooted sometimes when an app is opened. Does this toolkit roots the device permanently. I am also trying to bring windows ROM to the device.
[Dell Venue] KraCkaVeli33:
There is nothing as permanent root.You can always flash stock ROM using fastboot.

For your problem download the stock ROM extract it flash the system.IMG.gz(don't extract it) and I think bringing a windows to this device is impossible as we still don't have a proper cwm.

Unlocked Bootloader

By permanent I meant unlocking the boot loader and installing a recovery that stays after reboot. After fastboot mode the device dosent move yo recovery and it don't even show that a recovery is installed. If recovery is supported, plz name that recovery. And regarding the windows installations I have seen a thread regarding that. I will update with a link.

I tried both the launcher for installing the superuser on the device but failed. Both says device unknown, i also tried to find the fastboot and adb drivers but failed again.

my device manager shows android device, android adb interface. Please help me.
[Dell Venue] rockz1991:
Figured out that adb interface drivers needs to be installed which is only possible in windows 7 and not in windows 8 and 8.1.

ROOTED!

Also installed xposed framework.

But now, two days after rooting i got a notification telling that dell has a system update for my device. I clicked the download button by mistake and now it tells me to reboot the device tp complete the update.

The problem is, should i do it? After rooting?

[Dell Venue] KraCkaVeli33:
Download the temp cwm recovery.Also download SuperSU flashable file and place it anywhere in your device.

Run the launcher.bat in the cwm file and choose the option T3.

Now your device should be in temp cwm,now go to "install zip file" and go to flash from sdcard and choose the SuperSU file(you don't need a ext sdcard to flash file you can use your internal storage to store the zip file).

Now reboot your device and you should be good to go.

To install the xposed framework you need to install the apk and flash the framework.
[Dell Venue] RAJU1911:
Where can i download the temp cwm recovery, plz also provide me a link to install adb and fastboot drivers, its been a day i have not found any driver that supports my devive.

DELL VENUE 7 HSPA+
[Dell Venue] rockz1991:
Sure. This is how i rooted.

I Followed the instructions according to this video.

http://youtu.be/imYPk2o-gwg

Before you follow the instruction i the video

-make sure that your pc is running windows 7

-make sure you have enabled usb debugging in your phone

connect it to the pc

Then download the adb interface driver installer from here.

http://adbdriver.com/downloads/

The software will detect your phone and install the driver automatically.

Then follow the video instructions..
[Dell Venue] KraCkaVeli33:
You don't need to be in windows 7 to do this.

You don't need to enable USB debugging if you're already in boot loader.

You don't need an ext sdcard to flash the SuperSU you can directly download to your internal storage but when in cwm make sure you choose flash from sdcard.
[Dell Venue] RAJU1911:
I tried with that process , adb driver installation says the drivers are installed. In device manager it shows android composite adb device, but mykit batch shows device known. I will update with screenshots of the process .
[Dell Venue] RAJU1911:
Problem remains

here are the screen shots.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Use the stand alone tethered cwm recovery instead of myKIT , it's easier to use and the adb binaries are newer than what I had in mykit also , disconnect your device from the PC then under developer click revoke adb auth so it will reprompt you to allow adb connection to the computer.
