That is a dell streak
the rom is stock 321 from a venue,
the screen is upside down,
the rom is UNMODIFIED
the kernel is from streakdroid 191.
Admittedly the streakdroid kernel is unlikely to load on the venue, but the kernel is essentially the only real obstacle from getting a custom rom like streakdroid on the venue. (and the kernel is 95% of what makes streakdroid different too)
So what does this mean? I'm confused, sorry.
1. I have system dumps of venue roms which are almost ready for release
2. If anyone's interested i can port my mods pretty easily to the venue
3. Porting stuff in general to the venue from the streak is relatively easy
Once my tester verifies that the roms load and work correctly, I'll release the system dumps for whoever wants to unbrick their venue.
Some of the theme mods should install without changes if it wasnt for the fact there's no custom recovery for the venue, the rest should be pretty easy to port
So this is good news then!

I got dump of my venue system partition but when my venue was bricked I was unable to flash system partition image. And I was able to flash other partitions... why this was happening ...? I get some queue error while flashing system partition dump....
Sent from my Dell Venue using XDA App
Your system partition might be bad, if you can upload a copy for me to look at (and to simply have as i'm building a collection) I can see if the dump is good.
Since I havnt been able to get any good reports, I'm simply gonna post it
Here
Ok then ill build another system partition dump.... then ill upload it for you.... and I saw many posts in other sites that it was not possible to flash system partition dump.... from their posts I came to know that many people were getting the same error as mine while flashing system partition....

I updated the post on the link, please continue this discussion there.
I do not own a venue so I dont know if flashing system works, but these images I created boot fine on my streak and I assume they should boot fine on an actual venue.
If I actually had one I could make stuff a lot faster as I have no reliable test monkies
What was the source for your images.? Are those images built using Dell streak..?

Allo Allo!!
After jumping ship from the Samsung Captivate world... I found myself the proud new owner of a Dell Streak!!
I was happy to find a development forum for the device, and SUPER pumped getting to know my new toy!! Hehehe..
When I got the Streak.. it was used, and already had a Streakdroid 1.9.1 custom ROM installed on it,
Great ROM as far as I can tell, and will likely end up back on the ROM.
But... I am inclined to start from the ground up with the device.
I have been poking around the Streak forums looking for a definitive method to return the device back to its original state.
Any help or direction would be AWESOME!!! I learned my lesson bricking a couple of Cappys, to ask first instead of trusting sometimes conflicting methods posted.
I want to take my Dell Streak 5, running Streakdroid 1.9.1 ... and return it to the factory ROM, newest firmware.
Anybody?

This sounds like you are using a custom recovery to flash a stock rom.
Stock recoveries flash .pkg files, the custom recoveries flash .zip files.
It sounds like you need to flash a stock recovery for the rom you are trying to install.
Read this and this. The first link is to a part of a longer article on modding basics.
Edit: If you are trying to install a .zip at that screen just hit the power button to get past it.

The Gingerbread ROM is not exactly stable, and should truly only be run by those more seasoned with tweaking their Streaks because of the several issues it has...
I would suggest you start out with something more stable like SimpleStreak or my personal favorite StreakDroid 1.9.0 (I had issues with SD 1.9.1). so you get the feel of a custom ROM.
BUT if you are serious about wanting Gingerbread, I STRONGLY suggest you dedicate the hours necessary to read through the ENTIRE thread, make note of it's issues and make note of how to solve them when you run across them, because you will run across them, learn the processes of using the terminal emulator, using fastboot commands, making sure your computer has the correct drivers installed for USB connections and fastboot flashing... you should be proficient in all that BEFORE even trying the stable ROMs because sooner or later you will have to flash something to your Streak

Man no problem, I just wanted to make sure you didn't jump in there like a lot of people do and then come back having expected your Streak to be as stable as it is now... but as a note, there is no official kernel for Gingerbread for the Streak to my knowledge, and now that Dell has discontinued it there were probably never be. Maybe some superdev out there will be able to port IceCreamSandwich for us... we can be hopeful huh
Good luck with your Streak... and like I said, do LOTS and LOTS of reading, there are 3 or 4 amazing guides that explain how to do EVERYTHING, you just have to read them....
Also there are a couple youtube videos you can look at that show the process. one is custom rom installing and the other is flashing the dsp ..
I can't post live links so cut n paste...
Custom ROM
youtube.com/watch?v=3izgMselF-k&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
and DSP flashing..
youtube.com/watch?v=a5DEsHHNEp0
This will at least show you what is involved.
Its not hard but there are things that can go wrong so best to read around...
Hi,
I've been reading around but am not satisfied with the answers given regarding this question. I've a 2nd locked Dell Streak begging for a taste of GB but I recall having read all manner of things "back in the day" about requiring a rebelsim to change recoveries etc, but can't find that info now for a definitive answer.
I want to move from o2's stock. Can I just fastboot flash the 407 recovery and update.pkg it, or are there more steps due to the fact it's locked?
Thanks in advance.

Please, don't all jump at once...
Sent from my Dell Streak
as far as im aware you would have to use fastboot , and flash the recovery, then the update.pkg, theres lots of threads and guides on here telling you how to do this, also check the wiki lots of good info there too
I saw those, but there was nothing - for me - specific to o2.
The biggest issue for me is remembering reading a requirement for a rebelsim or goldcard?
Or... am I confusing this with another device? :-/
I have read the wiki a few times while learning about Modding my unlocked phone. The locked one is new to me though.

The fact that its locked just means you can only use your o2 SIM. I don't think it has anything to do with your ROM. You just flash the amss and then the dsp1 files, flash recovery and then flash the stock package. From there you can move to custom ROMs for GB. There is still no guarantee the GB ROM will recognize your SIM... simple as that
The radio files should be included in the update package... at least it seemed to flash them when I went from 351 to 407 on my unlocked streak.
Everything else though: spot on, thanks! I will give it a go and hope for the best

I have a 02 one I am almost sure you have to unlock it first which i did with unlockstreak.com it does cost $29 though but you can test first to see if it can and i paid through pay pal.If you do look in your spam folder for email with code as i didnt see it at first. The site is to down load the software and test is
www$unlockstreak£com/pages/download-dell-streak-unlock-software?ref=874b1d7212afe8cc4672f2f53d9976c12a5ea0e5
and a write up about it at www$streaksmart$com/2011/02/dell-streak-unlocker-software-unlocks-streak-in-minutes.html
as to the flashing i have done gingerstreak 244 and dsp amass streak mod recovery i didnt do a normal recovery upgrade first though so not sure if i did it right still have to look into this but it works
you deffo dont have to unlock it as mines is still o2 and im running gingerbread dsc rom, just make sure you flash the required amss and dsp1 file then recovery and rom you should be set to go
If I recall correctly, all a RebelSIM does is allow SIM cards from any carrier to be used in the device without having the device's unlock code. Thus using a RebelSIM should not affect the ability to flash ROMs. My Aria and my roommate's Inspire are both SIM locked to AT&T, yet both have custom ROMs (Cyanogenmod for the Aria, Android Revolution HD for the Inspire).

Can you tell me if i should flash a 350 recovery or is strak mod a recovery instead.Only when i went from o2 rom to gingerstreak i did not flash a recovery.only streakmod recovery.I did streak mod then dsp amass then gingerstreak thank you
407 requires either 350 or 407 recoveries

Ok heres what i did, flashed the appropriate dsp1 and amss files for gingerbread, then f-ash streakmod recovery , then via the recovery flashed dsc rom, but some say it might be better if you flash official 2.3 first then custom rom over it, entirely upto you but i flashed dsc gingerbread rom straight over froyo 2.2

Bayton, it shouldn't matter that you're on o2 but you can always e-mail o2 and they will send you an unlock code for free - I did it myself. There is a page on the o2 website where you can fill in a unlock code request. If they refuse the code tell them they must have made a mistake and that you know someone who's had theirs unlocked. This happened to me and then they sent the code.
Cheers.

Its been made.very clear you have to do an extensive wipe to flash either the CM7 or MIUI ROMs on the Streak. The fact you are bootlooping or stuck at Dell logo proves you probably didn't do that OR worst case scenario you may have to reformat your entire inner SD as we have no idea what you did before going to Gingerbread.
So factory reset from BOTH recoveries (Dell recovery and Streakmod) and flash again.
I can't believe I just wrote that when its in countless posts... I must be in a good mood today

If you believe GingerStreak is good, then you want to try DSC or CM7. GingerStreak hasn't been updated in over a year now and was based on beta code for Gingerbread. DSC and CM7 are far more current, far more stable, and have few (if any) showstopper bugs.
honestly, i would recommend to try dsc 1.0 first and when you have familiarized yourself with it, goes for dsc 1.1
ICS is now being developed for the streak. I have been using the pre-alpha build and for me it is now good for use as an everyday rom.
Im not saying its 100% bug free yet but ive been using it for 3 days now and i can live with the issues it currently has now.
After todays update flash is now working and for me that was the only undesirable, with it now fixed I wont be turning back.
The rom is being updated at a good pace and I dont think the beta is too far away.

Sorry misunderstood... my bad english... So you should try to flash the other image from jcase and your skype should works again!!!
full flash for stock should be up soon.
so you can flash back the stock boot, recovery, droidboot images also will have a unrooted system image.
soon after images with the updates applied will come.

I plan on attempting twrp after I finish the toolKIT and updating the factory images for both devices.
That is a miss conception the bootloaders are in fact locked the v8 dev conversion comes with a dev signing tool to sign the kernel, modules, and boot.img it also only comes with the boot stub for boot not one for recovery or fastboot though it might be possible to sign images repacked with the Intel packing tools that turl originally supplied.
But we will see.

Thank you. Another thing worth noting is that I can't get a lot of root apps to work on the JC stock rooted 4.3 flash. Firstly, I cannot modify iptables, which is the basis of DroidWall and Orbot Privoxy, both important apps to me. This appears to be a kernel incapability... Specifically the netfilter command.
Another major problem I'm having is that I can't install Xposed. It writes/installs properly but my V8 goes into bootloop, not fixable until I disable Xposed.
I also installed Busybox, manually mounted /system rw, and tried everything one more time hoping it would fix it, nothing changed.
Also worth noting is when I flashed the JC ROM, SuperSU did not come with it and I had to install it manually. Not sure if this is normal.
Any help is appreciated,

Another major problem I'm having is that I can't install Xposed. It writes/installs properly but my V8 goes into bootloop, not fixable until I disable Xposed.
I also installed Busybox, manually mounted /system rw, and tried everything one more time hoping it would fix it, nothing changed.
Also worth noting is when I flashed the JC ROM, SuperSU did not come with it and I had to install it manually. Not sure if this is normal.
Any help is appreciated,

I have a venue 7 personally so I have never used the case root image. I haven't tested I was working on obtaining the remaining images for the factory v8. and a simple toolKIT to make flashing for the average user as easy as possible. If you look back through the root thread there is a version of exposed that was beta for the Asus Intel tablet that works just don't update it, in the tool kit I hope to have finalized tmrw I included an installer for the working exposed few.

Update: I got Xposed installed using the Asus/Intel beta mentioned above (thank you!). I'm finding myself pretty happy with my tablet now. Even though it was stock, there were just some obvious things missing, one of them annoying as heck: lack of a restart button (really?). I installed Gravity Box and everything seems to be working fine on this beta. I even got XHaloWindows working! Screenshots attached. I was definitely not gonna be able to live without multitasking, and I had a feeling it wasn't gonna work with our x86 tablet. So just so everyone knows, everything Xposed related is working, and I included pics of my current setup.
It's still driving me nuts that nothing iptables related will function. I am aware that this can be fixed simply via ticking a setting in the kernel configuration file. Netfilter to be exact. I'm hoping that can be fixed. (I'm not smart enough to mess with kernels yet lol).
I hope this inspires someone!

Did root break encryption making for anyone else? I can start the process but then the tablet just reboots.

Hi,
I am a little confused about this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681793...why is it in the General forum and not in one of the Dell Venue subforums? It really doesn't belong in the main General forum, so I need to move it somewhere more appropriate and I don't want to just blindly move it into the Venue forums, if there was a reason for it to be elsewhere.
Thanks

Thank you it is much appreciated that you didn't just blindly move the thread without asking first.
I don't feel the Venue forums located under the legacy / low activity devices is the proper place for these devices, the venue device covered under that is the old failed DEll Venue Phone and not the New Intel Mobile Internet Class Device that these tablets are, there were a few threads created by other users for these device under that heading but it seemed to have been causing confusion for both users of the Venue Phone and New users with the Venue 7 / 8 and was hard for new users to find...
The other issue was the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520166 was becoming a very toxic environment users getting upset about people posting general questions in a root thread so i felt the need to separate rooting and general device discussion into two threads.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681793 the forum you inquired about located under General discussion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681783 my other forum also located under General discussion.
While i understand that both these threads are misplaced under the General discussion > General > heading i feel that if they need to be moved a new device should be created for them to keep the seperate from the older Dell Venue Phone. Honestly i fell XDA needs to create a new category to house all Intel Mobile Internet Class Device as this is an emerging market.
thank you for your time and please please please on behalf of the Dell Venue Intel Mobile Internet Class Device users i beg you not to move our device to the dead section.
We have a large system update, any info on what it is?
