I am starting a new thread here since I did not got any mention of the problem that I am facing right now. Please help.
My device was on stock 2.2.2 ROM until I upgraded it to the 407 ROM sometime back. It was working smoothly till yesterday before I tried to root it. After installing the streakmod, I booted the device in recovery mode to apply the update of superuser.zip. However, though I am able to see superuser icon in my menu still Busy box Installer tells me that the root user rights cann't be acquired.
This was just the tip of the problem.
Now when I restarted my device, the Dell logo is coming up. However after sometime, a message is getting flashed saying that
"File system check returned status 2048. ( I dont remember exactly what file was mentioned but it was pointing to system directory. ) Please send this unit to the software development for debugging. Formatting your device".
After that I again flashed the 407 recovery and the respective package in the device. However, the problem still persists and the same message appears after 2-3 reboots. Even the stock browser is throwing up an exception and Wifi option says Error beneath it.
Before I flashed the stock 2.2.2 ROM, I had the following config for the phone -
Android version - 2.2.2
Baseband version - GAUSB1A134700-US
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM Version -GAUSB1A134700
Build number - 15274
Please help. I am very much in love with this device and dont want to switch to some other phone.

Hi andy,
Thanks for the information. But I believe that the internal SD card is not user replacable. Is it?? How much effort it required on your end ?
Yes mate it is replaceable, theres two ways to get T it, 1 is to remove the lcd from the phone second is to cut away the plastic inside the phone battery bay to get at it, i chose to open mine as i didnt wanna start cuttin plastic, it is really easy to do you can replace it with upto a 4gb, anything higher and you have to edit files etc, i put in a 2gb sdhc been fine ever since, plus the phone will automatically format for you,

Cutting the plastic is an easy job and only takes a few minutes. The upside to this method is that it the inner SD card is accessible and it only has to done once. If you have any warranty left you void that. You could even remove it and make a backuo image periodically.
I replaced mine with an 8GB, class 10 card and the phone formatted it for me. There is more info here and here.
The system files are needed if you want to use the space for other than what the system uses it for. More info on using the internal SD for other purposes here and here. In my case I ended up with over 6 GB of system space to install apps. I can keep all of my apps on the inner SD Card.
Aah thanks for that marvin, i didnt realise that, now i know that im gonna upgrade mine

I had lots of problems with mine to i think it`s the 347 base band i read every post and downloaded DSC and it works great read all there post there is a guide to follow you will have 407 running in no time REMEMBER TO READ
One thought here for the OP: why not upgrade to 360 first before trying to upgrade to 407? That might solve your issues. I can't verify whether it would work or not, since I never used the official ROM to upgrade. I upgraded the baseband the hard way and use a custom ROM.
I don't remember how off hand, but isn't there a simple procedure to test your SD card first to see if that is in fact the problem?

It's been posted many times. Info in this link.
My internal was gone bad too and crashed 4 times in 2 months. after functioning very well for the first 2 months. It appeared a read write block error on the internal SD repeating the error 4 times proved the defect.
I replaced mine without real trouble with a 8 Gb SD class 10.
just removed the old one and replaced with the new one.
mind you i tried several cards and not all were installed properly.
Now i have a huge 6 Gb for my apps and no need for App2SD or Link2SD anymore. can swap any external SD without problems for any apps that way. everything is now installed internal including maps of 6 countries for europe.
On youtube you'll find a lot of movies how to dis assemble and reassemble the Dell Streak 5.
Grts
Ted.
Please correct me if I am wrong. All the applications get installed to the internal memory by default. I don't face issues when I keep them that way. When I acutally try to move the apps to SD, sometimes the move does not happens on first attempt. Sometimes it does. I think that's where the problem lies. Is it possible that due to a corrupt external card, the streak is getting checksum error and formatted on restart?
That.s a good guess if you can repeat it afew times it has some bad blocks when software is bad removing and installing wil not solve that. It only took me as many as 4 times to be certen about it.
No genius needed for that.
I had 230+ aps installed and som other data I always wanted to have so internal is my choice. General I used 2.5 Gb .

The dev can set it up so that the app is installed to the SD card. Few apps do this, but not every app defaults to internal storage.

Alright !!
In the mean time my internal SD contains 333 aps now including 7 country map data of europe stored. My external is free for any use. Very cool when mounted by PC and no broken apps.
This streak is so cool now and despite the fact that it is an older device it still can compete very well.
The only disadvantidge is the longer boot and long refreshing the app list in the app drawer after first boot and backup apps.
Just my 2ct

UPDATE: i have been using he card now for some time but experience some systeem freezes, nog fatal but for a few sec andere up. I am ging to install he Same brand 4Gb card class 10 and that should be more than sufficient for my needs. Internal up to 16 GB is not an option i guess. IT would be even worse i guess.

Hi all, I need some help with my Folio 100. I have installed V1.3b FolioMod on my tablet and apparently everything works OK, all the applications work fine, Wifi is Ok........ but I've noticed that have stopped responding both SDcard slot as the USB port. I tried by all means go back to the stock mod but no way to do it since it seems not to find the SD.
In addition, reviewing the tablet with the file manager seems to be nothing in the internal storage (or folders or files). I´ve tried to connect with my computer using the mini usb port but I can´t.
Could anyone help me to recover my Folio????
Thanks and sorry for my english but It´s rusty
Try removing the battery for at least 5 minutes or so.
Hi Nemo0815, thanks for your response. I have removed the battery for half an hour and no change has happended.
Cheking the Folio in the device storage settings I have found that the total space in the internal storage is 0.00B and I don´t know where is the storage space.
Regards.
this happened once for me too, i just removed the battery, waited 30secs while holding power button down, so i could drain it for all remaining power..
inserted battery and all was ok, and usb was working again.
looks like he's having the filesystem-not-mounting bug.
Hi Dexter_nlb, I have tried your suggestion and the problem is still there.
I´m thinking if the problem could be in relation with the missing storage capacity.
Thanks.
pasting from first post of foliomod thread:
V0.0+ Generic format internal storage for all mods (so far) here, only needed if you got internal storage problems.
Rename downloaded patch to update.zip and install using recovery.
see if that one helps.
uh.. silly me... you have no way of getting it on there :S
you could try to remount using ADB, but i have no clue on how.. it should be somewhere in the foliomod-thread though.

you can always reach it with adb and a folioMod installed, through recovery..
so if you can install adb (android sdk tools) + the proper driver, you can at least login and see what is wrong..
but if a sdcard slot is not working at all, that can also be your sdcard not supported, many others has the "16GB" problem using NTFS formatted cards.
make sure the sdcard is fat32 formatted, make sure you put a "update.zip" in the root, when recovery should try and find it..
Hi kepler and Dexter. I´m installing SDV but I never used it before. Some help with this tool are welcomed.
Thanks

read the wiki's opened, those are there to help in such cases..
Hi, I had this problem once and I solved it like this :
1. Extract SD card.
2. Wipe your device, with the blue screen etc
3. Then install FolioMod 1.3d
For me it works, but yes i know all your data will be gone after this...
By the way, thank so much to you Dexter who transform my Folio in a great device. Keep going on !
Same problem
Hi, I have the same proble and symtoms are:
· No sdcard (neither internal nor external). In this state, update fails, because external SD card can't be reached. I've tried FolioMod13d, FolioStock and File system format, but they fail.
· Tablet sometimes starts, but you can't do anything, because neither internal storage is not available, nor external.
· Cannot reach tablet through ADB, because USB link cannot be stablished.
· Have tried extracting battery, pushing on/off button, internal "reset" pin point, putting a piece of paper, tighting screws... no result
· Sometimes, when starting, starts vibrating and keeps all time like that, untill you stop the device.
· And sometimes, tablet even doesn't start, you get only black screen. Other times, you got start screen, but flashing "Android" does not appear.
All things had been tryed on full battery and low battery. Non starting problem appears often when low battery.
Sugestions?
I have to say that your Folio seems to be be very capricious, I never had so much problem with mine.
If you can't switch it on and if it's still cover by warranty try to bring it back to your seller.
Sorry to be unable to help you...
I haven't upgraded from the stock rom yet, but I'm considering it because it seems like I have a firmware problem. I got this phone new off of ebay a few months ago. At least every other day, the phone keeps saying "SD card unexpectedly removed, please insert a new one". It happens when I haven't changed card. I don't even have to touch the phone and I'll see the screen come on and say "sd card unexpectedly removed..." I have googled and I saw others experiencing the same problem. This is one thing that is keeping me from upgrading to a different ROM. I'm worried that if I change roms, maybe the internal problem with manifest during the procedure and brick my phone. Is this a concern that I should have? Or should I proceed with changing ROM's?
My other question is if someone else with this same phone has experienced this problem before, and did the problem go away when the ROM was changed?
Yeah, I just picked up one of these off ebay, and... the pins on the SD card slot are pretty bad, I dunno if that helps exactly but maybe something to check for...
Well I had the same problem.
. I rooted my phone didn't happened again .. but 90% of the time when I rebooted it didn't read any of my apps. Every time .. I got. Rom. Manger .. got clock work recovery and did a backup of my rom .. than I flashed mik cm7 .. never had those problems again ... and didn't. Have the problem were my phone restarted on it's on ...
From My LG Optimus P509 CM7
oh yeah, my phone restarts on it's own too. I forgot to mention, I assumed it could have been a bad connection leading the phone to not read the SD card, then read it, then not read it. It has a cheap looking lock-down mechanism that doesn't look like it would let the phone read the SD card all the time. So I cut a little piece of paper the size of the SD card and stuck it between the lock-down latch door and the card, it didn't fix a thing. So I ruled out a bad connection.
So blackrose, you had the same probs I have now and yours is fixed? I'll look up the mik cm7 rom and install that, are there different versions of the mik cm7 rom? If so, which did you choose?
Check the firmware version on your phone. Older firmwares had that issue, but I believe they were resolved in V10L and newer revisions.
You can go to LG's website and get the download link for the newest f/w version for your phone by putting your IMEI at the end of the address:
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=INSERT IMEI HERE
You have to use KDZ updater to flash it.
!! disable LG modem in computer device manager !!
make sure you have msxml installed
set type to 3GQCT
set PhoneMode to DIAG
Select the downloaded firmware file
sit back and WAIT..
Ours the stock rom side I have the same phone from tmobile optimus t and have had the same problem with three of these phones (sold to friends over seas thats why so many) I suggest install custom recovery and rom as soon as possible it makes a huge difference in performance and fixes that pRoblem let me if know if you need help you can even pm me

I run linux on my laptop, I used to have my laptop dual booted when I had my hd2 so I could change out my roms but then I sold my hd2, had no use for windows so I deleted the partition. is there a linux version of the updater i need? or can i install the kdz updater through wine? does kdz updater run solid enough in wine so I don't have to worry about bricking it? I'm going to sell this phone for whatever I can get for it on ebay and I want it functional. I'm picking up another hd2 tomorrow for a great price.

my phone has gotten worse in the last couple weeks. has anyone tried to see if it's just a faulty SD card? the problem has to do with the sd card, the phone says it's removed when it wasn't. I have an old 2 gig one somewhere that I'll put in it and see what happens. also my version is V10L
what do I need to put a different rom on my optimus t? and would it be running off of the SD card like I had to do with the HD2 or can it just run off of the internal memory?
my phone works perfectly now. I checked for updates and I have the latest update already installed on it, it's what came on it, V10L. So I deleted some apps off of the phone to clear up space. I grabbed a different 2gig SD card, formatted it with the phone, transferred all of my old stuff from it off of the other card that was in it and put it in the phone. Now I have had it running flawlessly for over a week. I don't know if it was the samsung SD card that was in it that was faulty, or if it was doing that because there were too many apps on it. I know some SD cards are junk, I don't know about samsung, the one I put in it is older but it is a kingston. I didn't have to root it or anything. But I still want to so I can delete some of this crap thats on it from when I got it.
So since this phone is linux based, how do I get to the terminal so I can su root or sudo. And what is the root password? I want to control this thing!
So maybe the problem was that I had too little space left on it, or maybe the problem was that the SD card is junk.
i followed intructions on how to get 1.4.1 to with sd card to flash back to 1.4.0 but no luck...it just starts as normal, i have done the power on off 8 times a few times redownloaded zip file...no idea....i did call barns and noble and complained they said version 1.4.2 is coming out next week to allow side loading once again, thanks in advance with anyone that can help with this problem
thats interesting. if 1.4.2 comes out and allows sideloading then you should be able to root if you get 1.4.2, unless something changes again. Anxious to find out!
the technical support lady from bn said she has had 100s of calls about this issue, ps thanks for that video on rooting worked awesome, i procrastinated on blocking updates...ill make sure that i do this next time around, really like adw

I've heard of people getting android on jailbroken ios devices, but this would be the wrong place to look for help with that. Ios is closed, but with android being open it is not unlike trying to develop a rom for an android device (like a Nook Tablet, for example).
SD card method fails after 1.4.1
Using the acclaim_update.zip method, after the initial screen it looks like the NT tries to start the factory restore procedure then errors out with this message:
"Please restart your device and try again."
I fear I am borked. Has anyone else seen this version of fail?
I am also unable to get adam's sd method to work. My device is at 1.4.1. i performed a factory reset and the factory reset shows 1.4.1! The method I performed for factory reset was to hold the power and home button repeat and release on the 9th time. It did show the factory reset screen with the yellow progress bar. Reran setup and it still showed 1.4.1. it didn't load 1.4.1 it is already set as the factory software level jnow since I got the update. I cant return this device as I dont have a reciept. So here I sit. i have not seen any updates from Adam.
i am going to try a different Micro SD card
let me know if it works!
This method works I video taped a walk through and I will post it. I installed 1.4.1 and reverted back to 1.4.0 without a hitch. Video soon
Update... by soon i mean like within the next 10 hours... it is a 50 minute video that I have to upload in HD... 4 gigs
No luck with aclaim_update.zip on 16GB PNY sd card
Hi All:
I am using 16 GB class 10 pny micro sdhc card. I was able to root
the system and get some apps sideloaded with rev 1.4.0 of the
software.
Then I got burned by the 1.4.1 update and tried the following methods to get
back to 1.4.0:
1) shut off nook (at 1.4.1) and pull the sd card. Insert card into laptop
copied zip file to root of drive. Put card back in nook tablet powered
on. FAIL system booted normally.
2) Formatted sd card in nook. Shut off nook. loaded zip file as in 1.
Powered on system. FAIL system booted normally.
3) formatted sd card on computer, installed zip file (and tested it) on the
sd card. Put card in nook, powred on. FAIL booted normally.
Then I tried all three after unregistering the nook.
Then I tried all three after hard resetting the nook (factory firmware
reload to 1.4.1).
I also attached the nook to the computer directory and put the zip file
at the root of the internal (MyNook E) drive (similar to the method for
manually installing 1.4.1 given on the barnes and noble site). As of now
it has not loaded.
No joy at all. Can people who have had this work tell me what cards they are
using. Maybe there is something there (maybe I need just a micro sd card and
not a micro sdhc card??)
Thank for any info people can provide. I would post the question to the
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190 thread, but
I am not allowed to since I am a new user 8-(.

Yup that's the procedure I did (in 3) using a 4096 block size for the card.
I am re-downloading the file now in case the verify I did was lying somehow
and the file wasn't valid. Since it's fat32, what settings for permissions
(read only, archive ...) did you have on the file.

the difference between my situation and yours is I unroot and install patch 1.4.1 on a stock device and then remove it with the sdcard recovery. I wonder if something doesnt work right if it patches over a root? I cant verify this...

The first time I tried steps 1,2 and 3it was on a still rooted nook. So I
had my side loaded apps and could play streaming radio and access the
emergency response guide and ssh to other hosts.
But I also tried step 3 on an unregistered nook before finally
breaking down and doing a complete factory reset (hold down
power and N ...) and using step 3 on it.
So I claim we at this point have the same environment.
I wonder if it could be something with the boot roms? Maybe some roms
look for the zip and some don't? I don't know how to verify that though.
The model number on my nook is BNTV250 and there is an IC number of
8961A-BNTV250A I think. Kind of difficult to read it.

Hey Guys!
Prologue
I have a complex problem with my beloved Vibrant. First of all, I got it for Christmas a year ago. It had no issues, with a stock 2.1 (and after a kies update 2.2) firmware, it was fun for a first droid. After digging myself into the world of droids, I decided to root my baby, and put CM on it. It was about a month ago; I saw that there is a stable cm10 for the Vibrant. There were minor problems (could not exit cm recovery and boot the phone normally) with doing it, but at the end, it worked flawlessly.
Problems
Unfortunately, a few days ago, my phone started to have problems like "Trebuchet stopped working" and similar error messages appeared on screen. Yesterday my Vibrant stopped working. The only thing it could do was when I turned on, it showed cm recovery. I chose to reboot the phone, but again, recovery mode came up.
- Now, I use a stock 2.2 (Eugene's) but with this, I cant really use my Vibrant, except for calls and sms.
- Odin cant see my phone.
- I cant revert it to normal stock firmware
- When trying to put a cm10 to it, reboots into recovery it says: cant mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1
What I did
First of all, a lot of research. Really, a lot, but I suppose not enough, because I cant repair my phone.
- I tried to revert to stock (using AIO Vibrant toolbox). I put Cmenard's kernel (with cm recovery, as described in the official cm wiki howto) onto the phone, since then Odin cant see my phone.
- I have Heimdall, adb shell installed on windows, so tried some lines to revert the Vibrant to normal, no success
- Rooted with superoneclick, so I have root, and su.
Summary
My suspicion is that the internal SD card is corrupted. Anyhow, I tried to use parted, but cannot format my internal SD card. I found solutions that may help, but unfortunately I have no exterior SD card, to make those steps.
Any help would be highly appreciated, as I am starting to lose my mind, and I do not really have a backup phone (will definitely buy in January).
In the top of that, today is my birthday.
Greetings to all,
Dan

Yes, download mode is ok, 2 volume buttons pressed, then plug in the usb cable. Before the new kernel was put on, I used the same method and eg was okay with Odin, thats how I put on Eugene's mod as well.
No, (unfortunately) I use windows 7. Or do you mean, I should use ubuntu?

First and foremost, happy belated birthday. It's a shame this had to happen on your birthday... Especially since I have some rather bad news. In your post--which, by the way, was very well written--you mentioned getting the error "cant mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1" while in recovery. This is a pretty bad sign. More than likely, one of two things happened. Either you obtained the Encryption Unsuccessful bug or your internal SD card outright crashed. Either way you're going to need to purchase an external SD card if you wish to continue using your phone. No way around it bud, sorry.
I had the EU bug hit my device a month or two ago, and had to purchase an external SD card as a result. After partitioning the new SD card and tweaking the phone to run off of it, my phone runs great... But switching back to stock/installing a new ROM can be a tricky process...
Good luck. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Oh, and this guide should be able to help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580902

Yes, I meant use ubuntu, but N00B in N33D i think has the right answer, i overlooked the "can't mount" part of the post. Sorry about all of that happening on your birthday:/

Thank you very much for the answer and the kind words. I will get an SD card then, I will need it later on anyway I guess. I will try this method you linked, and going to post about what happened (but not in the near future, Christmas is coming).
Good news, your phone runs great now after those things, it means I have a little chance at least. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks again, the best wishes for the holiday season!

Thanks! Yeah I was kind of disappointed, but maybe I can sort it out.
Okay, thanks again, and the best wishes to you as well!
Hey Guys.
Lately, I bought an sd card (class10, 16GB) and tried to breathe life into my Vibrant. Used this method (except the fact, that I used cm10):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665123
Actually this worked.
Before that, I figured out, that Odin couldn't see my device because of some driver errors Heimdall caused. (Or Heimdall/zadig installed some other drivers, to be more precise.)
So after reinstalling those drivers from Vibrant AIO Toolbox, I used that method.
But.
The final step, where you edit the vold.stab file, those two lines are swapped for me. Anyhow I tried to edit both ways (as written originally in the post, and tried to swap the lines) but unfortunately after editing, saving the file, and rebooting, the phone just stays at the animated cyanogenmod logo. Nothing happens. Really, I waited an hour or so, still nothing. Tried to reinstall everything, clear cache, dalvik, then phone reboots again normally to cm10, but as mentioned in the post, camera does not work.
Any thoughts would be helpful here.
EDIT:
That post says it should be this after editing:
#internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0
#external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
and my file contains this originally:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0
So it would be great to edit these two lines correctly.
Bump. Any help would be appreciated.
This is the last and only problem with my phone, and it doesn't look like it's an unbeatable problem.
There is a different syntax for Jellybean roms. See here

Thank you very much! Wow, this worked like a charm! One zillion thanks!
Hopefully this thread will help out many Vibrant users experiencing problems like this one was. Thank you all once again.
Hi guys.
Since then, I have flashed the CyanAOSP 2.9.0 ROM into my beloved vibrant, new kernel (gearkernel universal 1.1.2) and everything works fine, 4.4 is flawless in this device as well,
however
I am now facing some problems again, as the system cannot access the sdcard part, so with rootbrowser I can edit files and anything else, but camera, music player and gallery is not working.
I am thinking of a vold.fstab editing, but as 4.4 has this no more, I am stuck at this point. Any ideas of how and what to edit? Tried build.prop, no success so far. In CWM I can see that the sdcard is not mounted. Mounting it also did not help either.
Edit: I would think, editing the fstab.aries would be the key in this process, but I cannot really tell which part needs to be edited.
Need Help Pls! I have successfully revert my Dell Venue 3830 to its Android Jelly Bean (also have it rooted) but the screen keeps on freezing after few minutes and it's really annoying that you have to turn the power button off and on every now and then so that the screen will respond.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Have you tried without your sd card in it?
Formatting data and system and reinstalling from like bricked state yet?
Maybe your system files are fluffed and since factory reset only leaves you with an untouched system partition of the same you had before factory reset.
There's also to account what apps you may have deleted.
They don't come back after a factory reset either.
I'm not sure from where you started having this happen or if it always happened to you and it's just getting worse
but clean state may be the whistle you need blown.
Time Out,
start from scratch.
Backups? If so What method?
There's a bunch of specifics that need to be addressed in order to help you best.
Start from scratch again is your best solution!

mmm i see
can you tell me what packages do you flashed in the rom (ex. system img or zip)
you said that you rooted your tablet are you using xposed?
After thinking a while in the night i've to mention 2 things:
-is a system issue or
-is an user apps issue
In any of these i have some suggestions to :
For know if is an user apps issue you can try the "safe mode" that disables the user apps, if the screen still freezes is your rom.
If the screen not freezes you can to probe any one of your apps for search the problem (i.e root apps and xposed modules) or as the web says the task killers and/or battery savers, i consider this option because i installed a battery saver and after that my tablet freezes when screen off ( is not at the moment and i don't know when the screen freeze will appear )
And if is a system issue i have some suggestions to you:
-maybe is for some files ( maybe is only my tablet but a bootloop occurs when you overwrite a file that is not made for the rom i.e. a flashable zip made for other devices that improves the sound with modif libs.so or something), other possibility will be that you erase any, some or all .odex file(s) in the case of one or some more .odex files you can extract them from the package, paste them in the same directory where you erase them set the correct permissions (see in the folder the permissions of the other files and set it to the files that you paste in that folder) and reboot your tablet.
-In other options your root is damaged or wrong (i don't believe that but i want to cover the possibilities that comes to my mind). In that case you can try to flash again the rom and root again your device (with the same method or other method), or probe without root if the screen freezes.
There is other option and is change of rom, the dell venue 3830 has three versions of android ( i'm not sure of that i only have see three) two jelly bean (4.2.2 and 4.3) and kitkat (4.4.2) (i'm not count the developer version is 4.3 too ) download any of them and install, you can search them in xda
I'm not responsible for bricked devices it's at your own risk
I have probe these suggestions and my tablet still works but before to probe these suggestions you must have a method for unbrick your tablet if something goes wrong (i.e. CWM backup or rom zip that works in your sd card, in the case for USB logo i've read about something for intel devices (xfstkdownloader i think, i don't have probe it i not have seen this in my tablet .........yet)
If you have questions you can ask this suggestions may work for you
Sorry for my bad english
plz fix this dell
Did anyone fixed this???

I don't know nobody have reply nothing
Other thing that you can do is check your system storage (I'm not talking about the 11 gb of internal storage) The OS has aprox. 1 gb apart of the rest of the storage and with the kk stock rom these storage can only have 20mb free; The JB stock roms have almost 200mb free or more, I think that is the reason of the speed of JB roms and the screen freezing in kk
I have actually a modified kk rom by me (I only deodex it (stock roms comes odexed adding space)) and the system partition is near of the 150mb free
And its faster the storage tock ones so check your system partition
Other causes may be the use of the tablet while charging while playing hard games ( I have one of 7mb and really warms my tablet at the point of make my screen unresponsive) a solution of this is using an external fan
In the worst of cases your display needs to take it to service or warranty (but first un-root )
Exactly....thats the point
I just send my tab to its wrnty service (without root)
And they said they will replace the display+monitor
I didnt get it yet
Hope they can fix this
If u are in warnty
Sent it to dell :thumbup:

i bought my tablet in internet and i received it at the first week of 2015 but i don't know if still is in warranty also i never have to sent something to warranty.
my tablet works only with a bug:when i unplug it from pc tranfer with screen off, the micro sd unmounts itself
BTW i can live with it and with my part-modified rom my tablet is faster even with 1GB of free internal storage and many xposed modules
i hope that your tablet returns without the screen problem
Thats is a small problem....you have
I have some major bugs in my venue
Touch freezes..,..blackscreen,internel heating and lot more
For checking warrenty....you have to go to the dells official site.....if you are rooted....first unroot it ...and sent it to dell's service centre...if you are interested

More of that: my tablet has Cwm recovery so I don't think that only un-root can get back the warranty
Do you install xposed or something related to root?
When dell will give your tablet back?
Will get it in 28
I too installed cwm recovery
But i reflashed the rom to stock rom fullyyy:thumbup: via fastboot
