ebaul,

I am sorry, but can you help us in getting the partition images:

adb shell

su

cat /proc/partitions

you can saw all the partitions, which will look like this:

137 1 256 bml1

137 2 1280 bml2

137 3 512 bml3

137 4 8192 bml4

137 5 7680 bml5

137 6 225280 bml6

137 7 207360 bml7

138 4 4352 stl4

138 6 217600 stl6

138 7 200192 stl7

138 8 34816 stl8

use dd copy rom to sdcard

dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/bml1.img

I hope you can zip all of them in one file and upload it for us.

I will try to restore using fastboot
[Dell Venue] ebaul:
Ok. Working on this now, let's see if it works
[Dell Venue] ebaul:
Is this what you need??? or do you need a picture of each partition? I'm not good with this android stuff, but if you walk me through it I can do it.
[Dell Venue] ebaul:
I think is broken:
[Dell Venue] nounousomes:
ebaul,

This is a simple little guide that'll show you how to back up the phone without the famous nandroid. So as we can use it to get fastboot to work and restore the phone back without nandroid.

adb shell	//enter the device native shell

$ su	//enter the secure shell (make sure your screen is unlocked when you run this command, then click allow when the window pops up on the phone's screen)

# cat /proc/mtd	//show device partitions

Here's an example output. Note: not all phones are like this, some have different partitions. This just happens to be the structure of the my old LS670.

cat /proc/mtd

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 00700000 00020000 "boot"

mtd1: 07c20000 00020000 "cache"

mtd2: 00700000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd3: 00140000 00020000 "splash"

mtd4: 00700000 00020000 "FOTA_STO"

mtd5: 09e80000 00020000 "system"

mtd6: 0a4e0000 00020000 "userdata"

mtd7: 00080000 00020000 "misc"

mtd8: 00180000 00020000 "persist"

Then we will back them up to the SD card

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/boot.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/cache.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/recovery.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/splash.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd4 > /sdcard/FOTA_STO.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd5 > /sdcard/system.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd6 > /sdcard/userdata.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd7 > /sdcard/misc.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd8 > /sdcard/persist.img

Similiarly for the others..

To restore your phone to it's previous state, you'll need fastboot which should come with the SDK.

# exit //exit the secure shell

$ exit //exit the device native shell

fastboot flash boot /sdcard/boot.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash cache /sdcard/cache.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash splash /sdcard/splash.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash FOTA_STO /sdcard/FOTA_STO.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash system /sdcard/system.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash userdata /sdcard/userdata.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash userdata /sdcard/misc.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash persist /sdcard/persist.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot reboot	//reboot the device

After that, you can zip all of the img files and upload it for us.

This will be really appreciated.

Update me if you need any help

Thank you ebaul
[Dell Venue] ebaul:
I did as you instructed, see image below. The file is almost or over a gig, the userdata is 550MB.

Should I reset my phone? If this is for development of better, faster roms, I don't mind resetting it. I can always install all my stuff back..???

EDIT: Ok, I decided to reset the phone and ran the adb shell commands again. i packed them with winrar and brought the size of all images down to 170mb. Send me a prvt msg with an email where i can send you the link to the file for you to upload. Let me know what else you need.
[Dell Venue] nounousomes:
Thank you so much ebaul, I sent you a message.

hi all,

please i need help to find an update.pkg

and im willing to donate here.

i need too, please ;)
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
What is the build number for the current release?

Try http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Venue_(BUILD)_(BUILDNUMBER)_(REGION).pkg

GTOUB1A130211 =

Build: 302

Region: 11

Build number: ??

So it'd look something like Venue_302_(BUILDNUMBER)_11.pkg

Note: i do not own a venue, but if their update system is anything like the streak it should work.
[Dell Venue] mr_wehbe:
thanks for the help but the file or directory not found !!!

any other link?
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
you need to fill in the blanks, it's not supposed to work as-is
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
anyone in US with an update.pkg? I don't know what the build and other info is since the phone won't boot up.
[Dell Venue] mr_wehbe:
streak4m

did u try to take it to dell to see the problem?

i bought the phone from ebay but the guy told me that he bought it from dell at&t.

im facing the same problem may be worthier than u.

I tried to boot the dj steve official dell streak rom by following his command method, and i end up with dell logo at boot and then only blank screen with the 3 bottom key lighting.

the problem now i cant access any of the function keys(power, volume up&down).

so i cant install the pkg file if it is available :(

im living outside the US and i don't know what to do since the phone is not available in my country,

please some one should help usssss.
[Dell Venue] madeinmk:
Few days ago I brought my bricked phone to the warranty service provider. I asked them if they could give me the update.pkg but they refused, saying it's not for the public...:mad:

I'm afraid there is no way we can find one unless Dell releases the update.pkg like what they have done for Dell Streak.

Alternatively you may want to try the update.pkg for Dell Streak on Dell Venue. However, I DO NOT know whether or not it will work on Venue.

I tried to look into the update.pkg for Dell Streak to recreate one for Venue, but it's encrypted by Dell.
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
I don't think the Streaks .pkg file will work on a Venue. May be we could ask DJ_Steve to see if he knows of a way to pull the file from someone's working Venue so we can install it too.
[Dell Venue] mr_wehbe:
I had a dell streak before and the same issue happened.

what i did is following the QDL tutorial from here: http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=78 , and every thing went fine and my streak recovered to the original factory 2.2 version.

I tried it on the venue, but it kept telling me ERROR (The image of the phone is different than the image in this tool) or something like that.

I think we need the same tool for our venue and i hoooope some one like dj steve to help us.

Did u guys contacted Dj Steve or any of the android experts?
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
I haven't contacted any of the forum wizards like DJ_Steve. Hope there is a way to pull the stuff off of someone's Venue and we can use that ROM.
[Dell Venue] alo_tongdaiday:
I need to test this rom yourself you can re-link please?

[EVO Shift 4G General] Khilbron:
I am looking at purchasing a Shift 4G for my mom to upgrade her from her POS blackberry. I currently have the Big Brother to the Shift (the Supersonic), and absolutely love it, I won't give it up for anything, but my mom would be more suited to an iPhone, however sprint doesn't have the iPhone, and I get a 23% discount through my job.

Could several people respond about the Shift please:

1. Average battery life (moderate usage)

2. Size and Feel of the phone for day to day use

3. How does the keyboard feel for texting

4. How smooth does this redesigned Sense OS feel

5. How well does the camera operate

6. Does the screen size feel ok if you use the touchscreen instead of the slideout KB.

I would prefer non-rooted people to respond to these since I won't be rooting her phone. I want to hear all responses both good, and bad.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
So you want us to do the research for you?

[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Lol yup. Go to the store and play with one. Read the reviews online.
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
I have my phone rooted but nothing major done to it..even rooting it was easy under the right posts and take from here and there and waa laa it worked great, however; i love this phone..a lot..my first android was a G1 and second a Hero(CDMA) and now this..I have been trying to find something more like the G1..The hero felt like a downgrade and now this phone excites me about the new frontier of android. I OC'd my hero with no avail and to be out performed by phones like the droid and ah whatever..it seems to me this phone is the benchmark of performance and as for your questions:

1. I feel as though I get about 12 hours..when I use it to play games and stuff maybe 6-8

2. I enjoy the keyboard..both physical KB and onscreen..I use both cause I came from a hero with no physical kb but i really like both

3. both KB's work great on texting..i prefer the physical for when I have longer messages to write because its faster IMO, even so the virtual has no lag either.

4. Compared to the Sense UI from the Hero this phone is a HUGE improvement..when I first got my phone I was really impressed with the improvements to the UI because it seemed HTC logged on XDA and got all of our gripes then fixed them

5. I finally used the camera this weekend to take pictures for making invitations to my son's birthday party and I was impressed with the facial recognition. Its 5MP so its no Cannon or Sony but it still does a great job with facial recognition and all

6. As I said earlier I use both and the I have no problem with the screen size interfering with the kb..
[EVO Shift 4G General] nbunn:
The phone feels perfect in your hand. Almost like your holding something other than a phone.;) The sense UI is great, very smooth and fast. The camera also is great. The still picture quality could be improved if you want to be nit picky, however 720p recording is so amazing. The hardware keyboard is very nice and fast as well. I like it better than my blackberry tour. I would recommend this phone to anyone, anyplace, anytime.
[EVO Shift 4G General] scottspa74:
I also have evo, and also was considering picking up a shift for my mom (she has a Samsung moment that is barely functional), I went into sprint store and was able to play with one just a little bit. Was not that impressed, sadly (and I'm a big HTC fan).

Mostly, I felt the HW keyboard was almost unusable (I kept mashing multiple buttons at the same time), yet the HW keyboard is what I thought was supposed to be the attraction to otherwise would-be evo buyers.

As for OP 'wanting others to do his research for him', that's not the case at all, he wants to hear from people who have had more than just a few moments with the shift. Give the guy a break.

***maybe I just can't type well- yet I have no issues typing on my evo ****
[EVO Shift 4G General] phantomazero:
I ordered the Shift ready to exchange it for an Evo at the drop of a hat if I didn't like it, but after a while I'm really happy with this phone. It really doesn't get enough credit for how good it is.

The battery life is good enough that I can use it for moderate-heavy use of texting and internet and still have 1/4 of the battery left at the end of the day. I haven't ever used the 4G though, and I imagine that would change things up.

I came a from a Hero, and the Shift is slightly thicker and taller. It feels pretty sturdy, similar to a Droid. If you're looking for iPhone aesthetic you might be disappointed here.

Not a big fan of the keyboard, or keyboards in general really, so I can't really judge this. I find myself using the on-screen KB most of the time, and it works great. If you're curious, the sliding mechanism is the same used in the Droid and not like the G2's snap out hinge. Definitely prefer this, as the keyboard usually stays shut.

As it happens I don't really like Sense either, but it seems to operate the same as it did on the Hero (and probably the Evo.) It's fast and the widgets are cool, so if you like Sense then I guess you'll really dig it. Myself, I'll take Launcher Pro any day.

The camera is really excellent for a phone. Pictures are taken as fast as an iPhone and saved to your SD before you know it. Image quality isn't amazing and the flash function is sorta just there, but this is to be expected.

I'm really happy with this phone. While I would have preferred a Shift without a keyboard, I'm not at all bothered.
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
I don't have the time to give a lot of info, but I was really surprised last night.

My phone had been unplugged for almost 24 hours, with average (working most of the day) not heavy as normal usage, and i still had 40% battery left.

Coming from the Moment, this phone is so amazing. And even after seeing how my girlfriend's rooted Evo works, it's still pretty amazing.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Khilbron:
I have gone to the store and played with it, I have had my mom check it out as well, she said it seemed ok, I thought it felt like crap, the slider was stiff, the screen didnt rotate to adjust for the keyboard being kicked out. I had these issues with it on 3 different display models at 2 different stores (one sprint store, one best buy), Which is why I asked the new shift community to chime in, if it was left up to my impression at the store, i would say the phone is a piece of **** that shouldn't be sold to consumers. However I doubt that is the case, and I wanted feedback from people who already own one.
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
have you read anything in these forums at all? wtf :confused:
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
the slider is stiff in the store probably due to the protective plastic still being around the keyboard. Otherwise it's very nice (except mine, which is really loose).

The screen rotates just fine when the keyboard is opened. It takes a half-second, but it rotates on all screens, except perhaps the facebook app.

I would actually say this phone is similar build quality to the evo, if not better. It's also the smaller form, which many people like. Not to mention the fact that it has more potential to be OC'd and if the dev's can figure it out, the potential to be a major powerhouse.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Khilbron:
*sarcasm* No of course I haven't *sarcasm*, however I don't think you have, the first 7 pages of this 11 page subforum are filled with people complaining about broken hinges, bad sliders, charging problems, ect... which is why I put this thread up, I want to see the positive feedback, I want a reason to buy this phone as a gift for my mother. Generally the praise is left out of the forums, and the help me this is Borked takes over. I Love HTC phones, and as I am sitting I don't have a good reason to select this phone for her or go el cheapo and get her an optimus or an intercept.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ducylowycz:
First off, I think the EVO is a solid device...one of the few on Sprint.

I really like the EVO Shift better. It has a 2nd generation processor in it so it's slightly faster than the regular EVO w/being on a stock rom. I have not done it but heard it's a beast running the modified over clocked kernel.

Keyboard does get some getting used to, and I find myself using the on-screen keyboard for short text messages and the hardware keyboard on longer emails. HTC is know for durability and extended life (compared to other *cough* Kyocera) so I'm not too worried about the keyboard being extended.

I love to hate Sense UI...there are some features that are amazing and other's that just...well, yack.

The volume key's are always getting in my way, but I just have to "de-program" myself and get used to it. I've only had the Shift for a couple days, so I'll let my body catch up.

Did I mention how fast this device is? That is...even running stock!

I haven't heard it mentioned but I think the battery cover is a nuisance and feels cheap. If I had to do a sliding scale scoring on this device, without any industry experience, I would give it a 8/10 - from a consumer review

[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I've said it before and I will say it again. A decent android phone that wont break the bank or make you pay the extra ten bucks a month and for someone that isn't a power user is the LG optimus.

Yeah going from a moment to a shift is, form factor wise, about the same so there wouldn't be much to adjust to operating differently besides no cursor button.

Knowing what I do now, if I couldn't afford a top tier phone and monthly bill, I'd go with the little LG. People are giving it very good ratings on sprint's site.

With the screen not going landscape, maybe in screen settings it was turned off. Plus people probably install all kinds of crap on the display phones it bogs it down and lags terribly.

It's strange that so many regular EVO users seem to get so angry and defensive over their phone vs. the Shift. The EVO is a fantastic phone, no reason for all the name calling, you've got a good one! I've used both and prefer the Shift, you may prefer the EVO, no big deal. But calling one or the other a piece of this or that is just immature and makes you look like an idiot.

#1 - There are no hinges on the device. So...perhaps you are confusing this with the TMobile G2?

#2 - I don't see anyone complaining of a bad slider, but a few threads about stiffness, etc.

So you want to get a ruler and have a measuring contest? Seemss to be getting defensive here...

Wow, talk about a complex, are you worried your phone isn't on the top of the pile anymore? Calm down buddy. Keep it positive.

Oh, you mean you were keeping it positive? Definitely a positive attitude. Don't worry as soon as you're back to your forum, we'll be back to normal around here.

This phone is great, it OCs well, and has amazing possibilities as far as DEV work due to the hardware.

If you want to go cheap on your mom, then get the Optimus (only saving on the purchase price, as the $10 fee is added to all, as I'm sure, since you're so cocky and all knowing, phones now.)

If you want to be a good son, and get her the phone that is going to perform the best for her hands down, get her the Shift.
