Dell Venue Stock ROM dumps. - Dell Venue

Here I am uploading android partition dumps, you can use these files to fix your bricked devices. These images were rooted stock dumps of Indian version, build number is 13040. Use fastboot method to flash these images.
Warning: Please use them only if your device was bricked.
boot.img
recovery.img
recovery_bak.img
system.img
All those dumps were created using "yaffs" tool.
Now download the attached files below, extract fastboot+adb file and extact its contents to "c:\tools\", such that adb.exe and other files will be in c:\tools\ folder.
Now extract and install the second file (venue drivers windows 7).
Now go to command prompt and switch to "c:\tools" directory (cd c:\tools).
Now enter the following commands at c:\tools\>,
c:\tools\>fastboot flash system system.img (this command flashes system.img to system partition).
simillarly.
c:\tools\>fastboot flash boot boot.img
c:\tools\>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
syntax:
\>fastboot flash []
Hope this guide helps...
Please let me know if you are successful...
Please click on THANKS if you find it useful.
Thank you...

If you have no idea on how to flash those dumps please let me know. I can post step by step procedure on how to flash them if you need.

After checking the contents, I reupload the set to match the set I already have.
Can you confirm that these images are clean, unmodified dumps? The ones I already have come from brand new devices and this was the first thing done to them. (they were used slightly by normal users, but that wont affect it, they didnt touch anything in /system beyond rooting it to dump the partitions)
Edit: I have downloaded them and compared them to the dumps I already have, 304 is slightly modified but I'm pretty sure I was able to fix it back to likely what it shipped with.

Now I was out of my wifi coverage area, ill test them when I go home.

Follow the above guide. And those drivers works with Windows 7 only, if you need drivers for windows xp plz let me know, ill upload them later, because i was running my internet on slower connection.

Dont mean to sound ungrateful,
but you should use the cleaned copy I posted on here.
The dump you posted was strangely missing a couple files and still had the dump tools. I cleaned it up and reincluded files that were missing.
It's only a couple files and doesnt really change how it works. But I only host as close to original copies that I can. The cleaned one should be virtually identical to a fresh install.
Just as much I actively maintain the fastboot+adb.zip package. The file name doesnt change as it's merely a copy of the latest one. You can check the folder it's in and older revs are there.

Hey manii, as you told me before that you don't have Dell Venue but Dell Streak, then how could you tell that those dumps are were missing some files? Those are the dumps that I was currently running on my Venue, and I haven't experienced any problem till now.
And i can't guarantee that the files you feel that were missing from Dell Venue when compared with Dell Streak works on Dell Venue.
If you want to share this builld in your forums leave the dumps as it is and share them, so that no bugs will arise.

The venue s5 s7 are all built off the same codebase.
I have ~90% of every known rom for those 3 devices
Doing a diff on yours vs the others reveals that some files are missing, such as /system/etc/hosts.
This is one of the files that is universally existant. It's in every rom on all 3 devices. There's some more that are missing, and clearly shouldnt be. But I cant recall off the top of my head.
You can do a diff vs the filesystem of 307 and that reveals most of it. There is the highly unlikely event that it was missing at the source. It's always possible but for the example of hosts I dont believe it's this case.
None of the missing files will cause run issues, just merely missing. The majority are in app\ and i believe there was only 1 that isnt bundleware in that case (ie it's a stock android app) but I cant recall for the moment which one that was.
For the moment I am the most knowledgable person on the s5/s7/venue filesystem layout. Though not so much on what each specific file does (as I dont code dev, but it's not difficult to look it up on google for specific files).
One thing i can say is it's unlikely that 304 ever existed as an update.pkg as system/etc/install-recovery.sh is missing. If it's missing by default that is essentially the definition of this, unless you removed it yourself (which I dont believe is the case)

---

yes you are right, I have modified host file to remove adds in applications but the file exists and install recovery.sh file also existed and every thing works fine but try those dumps only in case of emergency.

---

can you try those images on your streak.? If it works fine plz let me know, then ill try streak roms on my Venue.
And install_recovery.sh was also modified to support 2nd partition on sdcard.

---

It should load fine with the SD kernel, it will run but it's not useful beyond deving.
If you try and load a venue rom on a streak, the screen will be upside down and wifi doesnt work. There might be more but I havnt done any extensive testing on it

---

How could you boot through sdcard.

You cant, not until someone makes a new bootloader.
With the popularity of the venue this is likely to be never
