Did you have any progress with that driver? I couldnt find an android bootloader driver, maybe cuz I am on 64 bit?

thanks
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
sorry forgot today was the last day of the month haven't had a chance to clean up the patch for uploading yet but here is the driver adb_fastboot-driver.7z unplug your device run the batch file then plug you device back in. let me know i'd like to know that the driver issue is resolved before i upload the patch and flash utility. . .
[Dell Venue] jayjr1105:
So I accidentally rebooted and installed the Dell 4.4 update. Am I still able to load the custom image?

BTW, since the update my screen blacks out and needs locked and unlocked to get it back to normal. Wtf
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
What's the software version?
[Dell Venue] jayjr1105:
1.33_140624
[Dell Venue] Tornade69:
Just had a look at the OP and notice your new Mykit_Batch version 1.1 is for rooting only... ??? Since i have Dev Version on my 3830 with 1.31, OTA update to 1.33 not working. Just want to know if you are planning to add Updates packages in your new version ???

Thanks for you hard work
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
No OTA_KITS but full flashing kit will be up I've been slammed with work and haven't had the time to clean everything up for uploading.

Also have a flash to revert the Intel inside logo thanks to [MENTION=5941423]pm-cz[/MENTION]

Wish I had money to by a V8 thanks to the updated unpacking tools [MENTION=5941423]pm-cz[/MENTION] made I believe we can make a custom kitkat boot.img for dev-edition maybe you wanna test it?
[Dell Venue] Tornade69:
No problem my 3830 wi-fi is available for testing...

Take a closer look at the instructions there are additional files required for kitkat you need the asset kit for your device as well as the root kit for KitKat
[Dell Venue] jair2nogueira:
Where may i find this _ASSETKIT?

How do i do that, can you please explain that to me?

Thank you and sorry about my english.

---------- Post added at 02:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------

I downloaded the _ASSETKIT but nothing change!

Do i have to execute that in some way?
[Dell Venue] TNS201:
I got it to work now. I did what you were saying before and instead of going into Android USB devices, it showed up as Samsung Android Phone and I found Android Bootloader Interface under that.

Thanks
[Dell Venue] jair2nogueira:
It Works!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

:good::good:
[Dell Venue] TNS201:
Yea, it might of been there before but I didn't scroll down the list because it was in alphabetical order and you guys told me to look under Android USB devices and it wasn't there, but I noticed in Device Manager when I just had the tablet in OS it was showing up as a Samsung Android Phone and that's what made me scroll down the list and I found it there.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Your device is an Acer correct? If so could you provide me with some info?

1 . With your tablet disconnected / not plugged into your computer power the tablet off

2 . next plug your tablet into your computer and wait for the charging animation to start.

3 . after the charging animation starts start myKIT_BATCHv1.1.x and proceed to the main menu.

4 . if your device shows as adb-online choose option 4 to start an adb shell.

5 . in the adb shell window type getprop

6 . copy and past the output for me

Thank you in advance . . . I need to collect this information to complete the patch / flash utility.

I have a venue 8 ver 3830_kk4.4_v1.26_140430 no modem kernel 3.10.20.

I update and root thanks to your kit, i have a message for update to other version, me i can update with the OTA and root again with your kit?

I have the first version of your kit, do i need to uninstall the old version and instal the newest ?

thanks
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
As long as the ota is v1.33 you can root with the new kit just delete the old one.
[Dell Venue] eduardito:
how do i know if is the 1.33?

Towards the end of the file name it should say something " like " 1.26_1.33

So smart people's, there is a new vulnerability discovered in Android called.'fake Id' problem is the fix requires an updated xposed. Anyone seen a compatible update?

No update for this problem, most likely will be sometime before dell or any company sends out an update.

FakeID Fix

If you have a rooted device, check this link - http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-fakeid-vulnerability-fix-t2833854
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
And this is the largest underlying problem with the Android OS, when was the last time you had to wait for a device manufacture to release a fix for a major OS related security hole for Windows, OSX, any Linux Distro. . .

There need to be a larger abstraction between the OS layer and the hardware layer and Google needs to add a LTS ( long term support ) plan to address issues like this. Think of the tens of thousand of devices out there that won't be getting a fix for this.

And wait a second you mean my device has had a major security hole since April and you wait till August to go public about it.

Users shouldn't have to wait for a fix from a device manufacture for an OS related security hole.

wifi keeps forgetting the password

i updated my venue 8 to 1.33 and rooted with 1.31 root kit as i previously did ..but after 2 days i observed that all my wifi saved connections deleted on its own when i power on and off .. now everytime i switch off and on the tab ,i have to enter the password everytime .. and other saved connections deletes on its own and only which i use right now is visible and i have to enter password everytime i boot ... yesterday i went to my friend's home and connected to his wifi and today after i reboot my tab it is not in the list .. is it because i rooted with 1.31 version rootkit .. please reply SDC .. thank you
[Dell Venue] gary93:
A bit off topic. I wonder would Dell give us Android L or just dump us because they have the new V8 :(
[Dell Venue] luismiguel1977:

[Dell Venue] eduardito:
I'm having the same problem with the wifi, and can't watch Netflix I'm gettin a 12001 error message

what can i do??

Thanks
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Not sure about this WiFi issue I've not experienced it.

Though I suggest if your on kk4.4.2v1.33 that you see the 1st post and reroot your device with myKIT_BATCHv1.1.x and the proper rootKIT for that version of KitKat so your device will be able to install ota updates.

See reply above about WiFi . . .

The ota should be kk4.4.2v1.33 i suggest

Installing it and rooting with the new version of myKIT_BATCHv1.1.x

See above answers . .
[Dell Venue] eduardito:
I don't think is that the problem, in fact yesterday I apply the OTA and root with your Kit because I was having the problem before and I thought updating and rooting will solve the problem

thanks
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
I never said that was the issue I was suggesting the one user install the ota and that the other user reroot using the correct rootkit for the version of android they are on as rooting with the wrong rootkits will break ota installation.

One thing you can try is issue the follow fastboot commands manually.

fastboot erase factory

fastboot erase config

fastboot erase logs
[Dell Venue] eduardito:
SCD

thanks for your response how can I apply the comands??
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
myKIT has an option for closing and dropping to the command prompt for issuing adb / fastboot commands direct select that myKIT should close and a new command prompt window should open issue :

adb reboot-bootloader to reboot to fastboot the issue those commands once for device is in droidboot mode

Questions

After flashing boot and system images my V8 became bricked, I then started on hit and miss tactics.. re-flashing image files found within your post. Finally! I got it booted up. I'm not really sure how/why but I think It's because flashed three images(system, boot and recovery) and then booted in recovery mode..does that sound correct? Anyway, now I'm running jb4.3 but originally I was kk4.3. Can I get kk back safely? Would fastboot erasing jb system, boot and recovery then flash kk's three image files work? If so, could I get those files and do I flash in any particular order?

Xposed (2.6.1)

How to recover my Dell Venue 7 3730 (Wi-Fi) in case of soft brick or bootloop ??

Please tell then I'll install xposed..

[MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] - if i flash with the image u gave me can i recover my tab (to its former position) in case of the above mentioned situation??
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Xposed doesn't bootloop in KK but yeah the image I sent you is just a prerooted system.img.gz
[Dell Venue] ~Mindfreak~:
So (just in case) i can use the image to fix it?? By flashing it ??
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
If exposed bootloops when activating it or activating any module you can disable exposed by pressing and holding vol and power but if you screw up the system partition yeah it will resolve that.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
There are times I really regret sharing this root . . .

People need to understand I'm a hobbyist and I have hobbyist time to work on this sometimes that's a lot of time some times that's little to none the past few weeks have been next to none hence why I've not uploaded the flash kit or image packages yet also working out device checks started making my eyes hurt so I had to set that aside for some clarity.
[Dell Venue] arclight25:
Take you time....Your efforts are appreciated!! The impatient people can take a leap. :cyclops:

Agreed. And for anybody who has a bricked device and is desperate, they can always unhide the content of post #3 in this thread, which has the links for the previous version of the toolkit which can do a complete re-flash.

Can you explain the process to get adb working in fastboot, we can use adb to backup and restore just like cwm does.

online nandroid backup tool, can make backups of the tablet, which we should be able to restore via adb in fastboot.

Also we can use busybox tar to make backups, and restore them also, via adb in fastboot mode.

Don't sweat the gimps. I released a ROM for the VL Prestige and after a couple of months the manufacturer made a hardware change without a revision in the model and the product ID and fingerprint stayed the same. I get bombed with people not having touch or WiFi saying it's my fault and want me to fix it. I don't have the revised tablet and no one wants to use their tablet to test fixes.

[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
on 4.3 or 4.4 you cant update the binary through the apk on any superuser apps yet, koush explains it well and will link when i get a chance i've not worked out the details on getting koushs superuser.apk and binary to work 100% yet you can only update the su binary from adb root by scripts until a recovery is built.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
sorry got my users confused ive been talking with way to many people today.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
way more involved with making su work on 4.3 than just the su binary.

Awww Yissss

No worries, this is all awesome! Its cool to see the community coming together and putting this all together.

For tonight, I put the jcase rooted system.img over my dev install, and now I have working root! Enough for me to play around with for the time being. I am attaching a screenshot just for kicks and cuz I am excited.
[Dell Venue] JoeKimpel:
SuperSU

SuperSU working on the jcase rooted system.img. Pushed superuser over via adb, which was partially working, some apps requiring root worked and some did not. But then I thought to try running the SuperSU installation again, with superuser installed and partially working. Now SuperSU seems to be fully working.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
we have the dev-system.img pre-rooted now. i just woke up gonna run out get my coffee and package it all together. i still i'd like to find one user that wants to do the dev conversion have them do all the ota updates first and only do part of it so i can dump a non-rooted factory system and a rooted factory systems so users that don't want or need custom a boot.img can just flash that, i have a work around for installing updates on rooted factory systems that wont break root which will be usefull if a kitkat update ever comes out. i think for the average user this would be the best option instead of a full-dev. so if one last user that's not touched there device would please hit me up so i can walk them through the part dev that be awesome. also know how to dump the boot.img, recovery.img, and droidboot.img off a rooted device so after the new rooted-factory-system image is built it be nice to have one user only flash the prerooted factory system and have them dump those for us.

im going to work on packaging a image to flash to my softbricked V7 and try to dump the system.img so maybe by the end of the week ill have a pre-rooted system.img for v7 users still doesnt help my v7 until dell release this well thats not true but i'll discuss this with v7 users when i get to that point task at hand is the v8 for now.

my car broke down on monday or i just go by a v8 and do it my self
