Whn i ticked the option to install the adb drivers nothing happens AND when i try the r1 and or r2 option for root, it simply saying i cant connect to my device, (i installed mininal adb drivers as well as the dell intell drivers manually and selected the adb bootloader interface option) prior to trying the bat tool. I must be omitting a step some wheres.

[Dell Venue] iloverooting213:
here yu go

At end it says can't communicate with device error! Even tho I put it in USB debuging!
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
what version of Windows any issue with the driver installation? did you remember to authorize ADBdebugging on the device? start myKIT_BATCH then go to developer option uncheck USB debugging box, then select Revoke USB debugging autherization, then recheck the USB debugging box, it should pop up a message to authorize on the device if the drive is installed on your pc correctly it is sounding like a drive issues since your getting connection issue.
[Dell Venue] iloverooting213:
!

It still said error!!! Error check your device error!!! Error failed to communicate with device [unknown] even tho I pressed OK for USB debugging on my tablet when it popped up
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:

I want to go back to v1.25 from KitKat (rooted) v1.31on my venue7. KitKat ain't so hot, and the only thing in its favour is ability to run xposed framework. Any help is welcome....oh, I have xposed installed too (and no cwm/custom recovery)....

Dead Cookies leave no trails...
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
The package program addon will roll back to v1.25 option A3 see OP for download as for xposed someone posted a work around in this thread someway to get it to work on 4.3
[Dell Venue] Cookie Ninja:
Got it. I was trying to use your rooted_factory_v7jb4.3_system.img.gz file. Is it ok? Or is the downgrade package a better method?
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Downgrade A3 package program then #1 jb root. flashing the prerooted system wont work because the kernel version is different than KK you'd have to flash boot.IMG too the package program makes sure every image is paired correctly.

[MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION],

Just one last Question: Does the file "venue7_jb4.3_sw-ver.1.16-images.zip" include update patches for 1.25 (as said in the Android File Host download page), or do i have to use the OTA update zip packages?
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
It contains it and does it all in one option the addon is a separate download
[Dell Venue] iloverooting213:

Still on Venue 8 1.31 showing no update available. Checked with a couple other users and they see no update either.

Something easier for you, though out of date is the DEV conversion, it is a one click method for the V8
[Dell Venue] Sportfreunde:
If I have rooted 4.4.3 then should I update to 4.4.4 and lose root (not sure how to re-root it either). Is 4.4.4 better in terms of battery life or something or just a few unimportant added features?
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
where did you get 4.4.3? and send me the ota for 4.4.4 and i'll have a go at it.
[Dell Venue] drummper:
Don't you mean 4.3 and 4.4.2? I dont think those versions for dell venue exits.
[Dell Venue] Sportfreunde:
Yeah sorry that's what I meant if the upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 is worth the hassle of re-rooting and any potential problems from that or if the two of them have the same performance/battery.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
i dont believe there is a 4.4.3 ota? just post a screen show of your settings / about
[Dell Venue] darklordofthesith:
Does art work on the tablet?
[Dell Venue] drummper:
There are not 4.4.3 for this tablet, all the otas still on 4.4.2 just minor bugs fix i think

Are any one know where download original fastboot.img (droidboot image) for Venue 7 3G sw1.31?

Yes. I know myKIT_BATCH not suitable for Venue 7 3G.

[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
nothing i can do :( myKIT_BATCH only supported root for 3G devices up to jb4.3 for the reason you see there you'll have to find a v7_3G user that is still on jb4.3 and used the correct #1 jb root method that i could then walk through dumping the needed images to fix your device . . . i have a v8_3G user in this same boat. . . sorry wish i had better news. . .

Which files I need to delete/restore after successful pulling images?

Are some version of /sbin/adbd originaly installed on device?

Where I can obtain original version of /sbin/adbd or how to backup original before process?
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
/sbin/adbd is in ramdisk so you cant permanently change its contents so the change to it is reverted when rebooted. after you pull the files if you don't have anything stored in /data/local/tmp/ you can delete its contents .
[Dell Venue] mbasov:
Thank you for answer.

If [MENTION=5945836]netspy2[/MENTION] not dump 4.3 till end of the week I will have access to 4.3 device at weekend and do it myself.

[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
compress them in a single zip file the uploaded them to dropbox or google drive and PM me the link with the software version and the kk ota update that pairs with it and i'll validate and package flash package and rootKIT

But, please, wait untill [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] download and verify your dumps.

I am very interested in dumps, because i need it to "repair" my Venue 7.
[Dell Venue] netspy2:
And how to save update? This is my first dumps.
[Dell Venue] mbasov:
To save OTA update you need root.

Copy fileles from /cache (using any file explorer with root acces) to SD card, for example.

Please, don't install OTA update before [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] verify you dump.
[Dell Venue] netspy2:
OTA update currently downloaded. Possible to reboot the device in fastboot without install update? ADB?
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
just wait i think i have the ota's for this device already i wont be able to validate these until i get home from work tonight i'll pm [MENTION=3568615]mbasov[/MENTION] for testing fixing his device. . .

now if i could only find a v8-3g user still on android 4.3

Thanks [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] for help.

I am managed to "repair" fastboot image and install OTA v1.33 on my Dell Venue 7 3G.

Image provided to [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION].
[Dell Venue] netspy2:
I can also to be updated? Reverting to the Android 4.3 is possible?
[Dell Venue] mbasov:
I think, yes, you can update. But I solve only one issue with incorrect fastboot.
[MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] do main work. He need to confirm that collected images correct.

Using your images it will be possible to revert back to 4.3, I think so.

Thanks again for you work.
[Dell Venue] netspy2:
Thank you also. But i not have root access. Or it's not needed. Sorry for the stupidity. Or need to wait while [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] finish work?

Sorry for the many questions.
[Dell Venue] mbasov:
You can update any time you want.

To force OTA update you can Settings > Apps > All > Google Framework Services > Clear Data > Force Stop > Settings > About phone > System updates > Check now, after download update agree to install it.

After update OTA update you lost ability to make dump because new fastboot not allow to push and run adbd.

If collected images wrong we all last ability to make dump and try to restore all our devices to original 4.3 state.

I think, it is good idea to wait [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] confirmation that all collected images correct and suitable to restore to original 4.3.
[Dell Venue] netspy2:
I interested, how you repair your device from my fastboot? Or all instructions will be later?
[Dell Venue] mbasov:
Before you collect dump we have only images for Dell Venue without 3G.

I have Dell Venue 7 3G.

I use myKIT_BATCH to get root.

During this process my original fastboot was replaced by fastboot from Venue without 3G.

All operate properly, but OTA update V1.31 -> V1.33 fails.

Fail because fastboot was not original and OTA contain only patch (difference) for original fastboot.

After you collect fastboot image I managed to make original fastboot for my current version and flash it.

To make it I use you original image and patches from OTA.

After it OTA done succesful.

All created files provided to [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] to integrate it to myKIT_BATCH

This time anyone can use generated by me files, but if you wish I can describe how I have done it.

It was many shell commands issued in adb :)

[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:

[Dell Venue] cline2:
I posted it yesterday.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
I'm reworking myKIT_BATCH . . . so you'll have to re-download myKIT_BATCH in order to use the rootKITs. . .

i stripped it down to only 2 types off add-on's

rootKIT : obviously this is the device ( wifi / 3G) - Software version su installation kit. . .

pkgKIT : this will in general be for anything else namely full device flashes . . .

otherKIT has been removed these were mainly a work around for the initial kitKAT release.

Fastboot / Droidboot Tools have been removed this is handled through package program.

apply package update again this is handled through package program.

cleaned up the directory structure :

myKIT and rootKIT's should be up this evening....

flash packages should be up by the end of the week. . . .
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
did you use the correct rootKIT for the kk sw. version you are on?
[Dell Venue] cline2:
Didn't use rooKIT to update 1.33. It was manual update.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
no to root v1.31?
[Dell Venue] cline2:
I am on 1.31 rooted already.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Did you use the updated rootkit for 1.31 using the 1.26 rootkit breaks ota my suggestion is to try the v1.31 rootkit and root it again with it then try the ota installation again then we'll go from there

but its up to you guys what you want to do i just don't feel its best not to use a system image other than a rooted version of the dev-system.img dell released. i'll package it all how ever you guys want just giving my opinion.

Good point. I think rooted dev image would be best.

my stock 8 16gb without latest ota update is still available for testing if needed.

i'm also good waiting until all is sussed out.

regardless, i'm up for helping where i can. lemme know if you need me. gimme instructions so things roll the way you want and you get what you want from it. or pm me and we can work remotely. this would all be easier in ~4 hours when kids are in bed lol, but whatever works.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
That would be great I like to run the process all the way through on a untouched device I'm house clean at the moment but if you can wait a few hours we can do it remote, I have another user in waiting but they haven't gotten back with me yet if they don't your device would be great.
[Dell Venue] darklordofthesith:
When everything is packed and ready for distribution, will it work with the latest update pushed to the venue 8?
[Dell Venue] kairnage:
Yes, that is what I ran it on.
[Dell Venue] saintii2:
I agree with rooted image. It's simpler and easier for noob's like me. I know if I screw this thing up, I'd like a prerooted image. I don't want to go through all that again.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
let me clear somethings up quick, the latest update has no relevance if you do the dev conversion everything is replaced in the process so the update is null in-void at that point. everything in that update is replaced with dev versions, the dev files are what allows us to flash images signed with the tools included in the kernel source.

the end published process will have a prerooted dev-system.img to make it easier for every one. it will be one download containing everything needed adb, fastboot, all drivers and tools and two simple batch files the hardest part would be issues installing the intel-soc driver but i have tips in my instructions that make the whole process a cake walk.

i don't have time to explain everything so just take my word that everything is replaced in the end when you do this, the original jcase rooted image he flashed was two updates old as it is.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
my batch is wrong i forgot to update it it needs to have

adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp/ && ./install-device.sh"

instead of how it is in the batch file its looking for the files pushed in / not in /data/local/tmp/su/
[Dell Venue] chunkybudz:
i'm eastern time.

if it works out, great.

[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
It probably won't be till tmrw now I'm waiting on the prerooted dev-system.img now so it be nice to see you run the two step process from the guide I put together.

Once the process is final I'll move on to twrp and kk
[Dell Venue] kairnage:
I got it to work, I sent you another PM
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
kairnage just informed me three users just did the original-rooted-system.img only with success so it might be best if a user that wants to do the full dev let me do a part dev edition for them first root the original-system.img and dump it so users that dont want or dont need to be able to flash a custom boot.img can just flash the prerooted system image instead.
[Dell Venue] kairnage:
I have asked one of them to try to run the system update just to make sure. it looks like the full dev cuts us off from system updates. But that was kind of to be expected.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
i'm sure it will download the updates but you'll lose root. I have a work around for it but its complicated
