I dont see any guides anywhere at all on this site that tell you what to do with clockwork recovery, what to do with radios, what to do with downloaded rom files, how you install any of it or anything at all. It's just "here's rom, enjoy!"
Search YouTube....that's how I learned
Sent from my A05PTH3ORY using XDA App
They are all over in the dev section. It hasn't been covered a lot here because most of us came from another HTC, so its all the same game. But, if you can't find something you need to know, feel free to pm me. I'll be glad to help anyone.

If you just want to learn how to flash a ROM zip from recovery or radio from hboot, the CM wiki should help you a little...the procedure is the same for any distributed custom rom really (with a few exceptions). As loonatik said, it's a pretty simple process and I would imagine most users are aware of how to do it by now (or have done as sporty said and just searched for helpful videos). But yea, they don't include installation instructions for each rom because it's pretty much an identical procedure.
Hi guys,
So, my current baseband version is N_01.77.07P and I just installed Dorian's RedPill v4.
Earlier, I did some weird stuff like installing a retail brazil radio SBF to allow me to unlock my permanently network-locked phone.
However, I think I should upgrade my radio back now, right?
I searched around for download links but everything is broken (even this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009l)
Should I upgrade my radio and if so, where can I download the latest SBF?
*bump* Anyone?
The two radios that people use are 1.77.36p and 1.77.37p. I've used both and am currently using .37p. These are zips not sbfs so just flash it in recovery.
EDIT: Well I can't post outside links, so I PM'ed it to you.

Link not being able to post as im new user
Can any1 let me know how can i download official 2.3 upgrade?
you can upgrade MIUI 2.3.7, CM7 2.3.7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565517 and GB 2.3.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Venue
There is no dell official upgrade for 2.3?
Im afraid of flashing as i saw some people here ended bricking their venue and does this mean they crapped the phone completely forever?

The GB 2.3.3 link is to a build that was released by Dell to Olleh, a Korean cell phone company. If you were on Olleh, it was an official release. We have confirmed loads of that ROM on Venues around the world (including mine), so it does work. CM7 and MIUI ROMs are much better though.
Thanx a lot!
Thanx for the help.
I have just bought this phone 2 days back.
I think i should give it some time before i can go on experimenting with other roms.
The biggest fear to me is what if i end up bricking my phone?
Can i have your gmail/yahoo messenger id? I have experience of changing roms and rooting galaxy y.But i dnt know how to get started here for dell venue.
Some of the terminilogy is beyond my understandings.
Your good support will be appreciated.

There is always a risk that what worked for everyone else won't work for you, but it is a very small risk. Most of the time problems have been tracked down to "failure to follow instructions". Even today when I do something to one of my devices, I read the instructions 3 or 4 times, just to make sure I am not skipping over something important.
To get started, load CWM - The instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423002, they do work, with one addition. Under the "install instructions", you need to rename the CWM file downloaded to just recovery.img and put it in the same folder as your fastboot files, then when performing step 5 you can type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it works just fine.
Once CWM is loaded (make sure to follow all instructions, to include pressing both volume buttons and power to get into it) then you can flash the Olleh GB update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416537), CM7, or MIUI (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565517).
My rule of thumb - read the directions several times before trying something. If it fails, read the directions again, something was probably overlooked or skipped.
I also prefer to keep all correspondence on the XDA site, that way others can gain from the discussion.
i dnt knw why this forum banned my account probably on asking online support from you?
Well i needed to ask a few things.
i read some instructions for loading muli rom and cm7 roms,
sm1 had wrote i need to have gb 2.3 on my venue before i load any of these 2 roms.
Does it mean i have to first load Korean rom 2.3 and then cm7?
I dont want to install korean rom as of now coz i heard it doesnot work well with ussd codes.and i need to use ussd everyday!
By d way i have rooted the phone successfully so now got some confidence thax to u

I don't think you need to have the Olleh ROM on first before MIUI or CM7, just CWM for flashing. As for the Olleh, it works fine, and one of the XDA guys around here posted a fix for the USSd codes, so that can be fixed too. I do prefer CM7, though MIUI is not bad either.
Requirements:
Clockwork Mod installed
Matching pkg flashed beforehand*
Instructions:
Prereqs: Update with the matching PKG
Copy latest base zip to sdcard
Copy latest patch zip to sdcard
I dont understand what this means? what means matching pkg?
base zip i found with stock rom 2.3.
and what this patch.zip is?
Sorry i bothered u a lot!
Noob Guide
As many of us here fear of bricking the fone which we dont want,
Is there a proper and accurate step by step guide to update Stock 2.2 Froyo to
--> Gingerbread
--> CM
-->MIUI
I have seen many guides here.
But as I said I am a total noob to this so chances of screw up are >
Help would be appreciated.
Also would like to know:
For GB mod what launcher does it use? Stock or Vanilla?
Is the battery backup hampered or enhanced?
Are there any effects on HD games and apps after the upgrade?
Thank god!Someone else is also confused! i thought im the only dumb guy here lol
Well have u roooted ur phone?I had rooted it and using CPU TUNER APPICATION which works nice to save battery.
The app works only on rooted phone.
Im also hoping for better battery management in cm7/miui/ooleh

Ok, back when we were dealing with .img files, before CWM was ported, we had to make sure the correct version of recovery was loaded otherwise the file could not be loaded. Once CWM was available, that no longer was an issue. CM7, MIUI and the Olleh build can all be directly flashed by CWM.
Ohhk.
Thats what i assumed.but needed to confirm.
Now i got ur point.Now 1 more help please...
I have loaded cwm and got my phn in fastboot mode.
Now what do i need to do next?i mean which zip file shall i download and flash?suppose i want cm7 or miui rom, which files do i need to download to flash directly?I downloaded gb7 ooleh rom and found 2 zips in it.

awaiting process note
also provide performance , bugs, experience details
Performance is awesome for this rom.Just awesome
I firmly believe dell should talk to the developer of this rom and take the rights to push this rom in all their venue phones!It wouldnt cost them so much that they cant afford!!
2.2 sucks...i upgraded my phone from galaxy y to dell venue.With 2.2 i really didnt feel much of difference between the two except for larger better screen.But now it feels im upgraded with the performance.Smoothness of this rom is really nice.
Iw ould strongly advise all 2.2 users to try this rom it will convert ur toy to a better gadget!!But as said...cope up YOURSELF with the upgradation risk of bricking while updating!
So I got bored of waiting for Wind's OTA ICS update and them telling everyone "you get it when we get it" and i sent a ticket into HTC.. got this as the responce today.
I know how important it is to have the latest software available on your Amaze. I’ll be glad to help you. ICS updates for the Amaze are expected to release between June and July this year. Our goal is to give every customer the best possible experience on every phone. Every HTC phone is a combination of a unique HTC hardware and software experience and a core operating system, and thus, it can take some time for updates to be crafted and made available, as we want to make sure it will run as best as possible when released.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. Thanks for being an HTC customer and taking the time to contact us.

I'm running it now. It was available at 6am when I awoke, and according to someone on Mobilesyrup, they had it downloading before 5...
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------
Looks like it cleaned itself out of /Download/ - so I'm guessing anyone who hasn't done it yet, to get it BEFORE they start installing it. Otherwise it'll be gone.
For some reason when I try to check for updates - it just gets stuck and only shows the message checking.... but nothing happens.
Is this because I am rooted and/or have my bootloader unlocked? Or is it because I have CWM as my recovery?
I really hope someone can provide the OTA files so I can try and update through recovery.
Please someone save the file before updating and share!
looks like its 4.0.3...
anyone care to spew out the build #'s etc and versions of everything else?

You need to relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery before you can proceed.

Added to my dropbox, thanks mate.
thanks to violated - we now have the zip file.
sorry - a bunch of noob questions:
Do I still have to go to stock recovery and relock bootloader to use the zip file?
If not - do I just copy the zip file to the sd card and rename it to update.zip and install it from CWM recovery?
A walkthrough would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to brick my phone!
Lastly - if I want to keep all of my apps/settings - should I do a backup and then apply the update - then reload the backup?
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,
I don't what happened, but after rooting the HTC One I was attempting to install the Viper ROM, and things just went downhill from there like my phone is stuck at the booting screen, and I can't do anything I have been here trying to figure out what to do. Anyone who knows what to do please tell me ASAP. I can't seem to be able to mount anything, and I tried downloading all kinds off softwares, doesnt seem to work. Please give me step by step instructions. I want to fix this ASAP. Hope my phone isnt bricked
Thanks, XDA

you didnt mess anything up. when you open the toolkit at the bottom there should be a link to stock rom or you can flash any rom you want from there. there will also be instructions to do whatever you need to do down there
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------
to use the all in one toolkit you will have to be in the bootloader in fastboot usb mode. if it say hboot at the top of the bootloader screen press power button once it should then say fastboot usb where hboot was
Just to confirm is this the toolkit we are talking about ? http://gyazo.com/24b0cb52eed94ca74237779c5f8f6eb9 . I regret doing this omg Why did I try to do this.
yup. where it says something about stock ruu zip thats the stock rom but it may be more difficult to flash that. easiest way would be to flash a custom rom or a stock rooted rom zip file
you shouldnt regret doing it. thats the beauty of android options customizations. its not hard just read before you flash
Ok, now I need to find that ROM, Im on Rogers network meaning I would gave to use the international one right ? and I cant find that. I clicked on flash stock and now its going to this black screen which says HTC in silver.
just stay away from sprint roms you can flash any other htc rom. international htc one thread has the most options though and sense based roms will give options for you carrier you just select tmo at&t or international in aroma. if you decide to go that way make sure to read the rom thread as aroma often freezes but there are things you can do to minimize them.
