I have tried to follow the below link to upgrade my dell venue to 2.3.3. I have downloaded the 408 version and renamed it as update.pkg.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19968194&postcount=45
Until at step 13, I selected 'SW upgrade from update.pkg' in my phone but there is no response. no new screen prompt is coming out.
Now I even could not start up the phone..... would anyone could give me some advices on saving my phone, please?
Thank you.
Did you select
Code:
2. Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card
from the menu with 4 entries or the one with about a dozen entries?
If you did from the long list you've bricked and there's no way to fix it.
Those two are entirely different things and all the latter one does is brick devices
The list has three choices
- factory reset
- sw upgrade from update.pkg
- power off
if i choose factory reset, it did reset the phone but it only shows the dell logo and without moving to another step......
in sw upgrade, no reaction....
is my phone bricked?
Thank you.
I cant recall if the menu had 3 or 4 entries on the V, but if you used the menu you mentioned you might still be ok as that's the safe one.
Try going into recovery mode without an sdcard inserted, if it loads up it might be choking up on your sdcard.
How to go to the recovery mode? you mean factory reset?
and how to solve the problem that it cannot load the upgrade.pkg in my sd card?
Thank you a lot for your help.
I have tried to upload the update.pkg to the sd card through the adb
D:\Downloads\Fastboot\Win32>adb push update.pkg /sdcard/update.pkg
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
what is the meaning of device not found? is it the source of error?
Thank you.
You can only use adb after android loaded
same problem - urgent
i am having the same problem! no response from phone when i select sw from update.pkg! pther options factory reset and power off works! help me out!

Hi,
I own a Bell Motorola atrix and after rooting the phone I accidentally deleted one the many moto apps (don't remember the exact name). As soon as I realized I deleted one of the system apps, I wanted to bring the app back, so I thought doing a hard reset will do but I was mistaken.
After the hard reset my phone won't go past motoblur activation. When I enter my motoblur account details, it tries to login but after a while I get "An internal server error has occured. Please try again" (I think this is because of app I deleted)
I tried skip setup but no use.
What should I do? I searched for Bell Atrix SBF but there is none, they are all for AT&T.
Is it possible that some one can take an image of their Bell atrix and I can somehow use that image to flash it back to stock?
Please help! This is my first android phone and have no idea how flashing to stock works.
Update: I found the Bell atrix dump with all APKs from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004503&highlight=dump
Now my question is, how do I install the missing APKs from the fastboot screen or from Motoblur activation screen? (note: usb debugging turned off when I hard reset it ) Please help!

If you wish to wipe all data from your Motorola Atrix smartphone, you can perform a factory hard reset on the device. There are a couple of ways to accomplish this.
Software
If you can access the Android OS on the phone, this option is preferred. 1. Go to Settings. 2. Select Privacy. 3. Tap Factory data reset. 4. Select Reset phone. 5. Tap Erase everything.
Hardware
If your phone has issues and won’t boot normally, this is the option to use. 1. With the phone off, hold the Volume Down button while pressing Power. 2. A Fastboot screen should appear. Press Volume Down to navigate to the Android Recovery selection. 3. Press Volume Up. 4. A yellow triangle and Android logo will appear. Tap the bottom-right corner of the screen until a menu appears. 5. Tap wipe data/factory reset then tap OK. 6. Tap Yes then OK. 7. The Atrix will take a moment to peform the factory reset. When completed, select reboot system now then tap OK. This will clear all internal memory on the phone. SD card data is preserved, so if you’re transferring ownership of the phone or sending it back to the store, you may want to format the SD card as well. You can do so under Settings > SD card & phone storage.

@yokozuna82 I know, but hard reset doesn't help. Read my original post again. Thanks for trying to help though.
Hello.
Yesterday ATT finally rolled out the new update, but for me it freezes with screen where android with explanation mark in triangle.
A day before I did successfully install [PUDDING] International House of Pudding! (Unlock/root thread) Updated July 23 2011 v2.3.4 and also [Unlocked Only][Release]CWM Recovery Mod for Atrix 4G 2011-06-30 updated again!
After that I reverted to stock v1.2.6 and gradually upgraded to v1.8.3
On top of that the android recovery doesn't work either with vol down on reboot, same explanation mark in a triangle...
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thank you.
PS. sorry

Hey [email protected],
There is no problem with your recovery menu. When you see the Android with the exclamation mark, you are in recovery mode. just touch the screen right above the Search button, which turns out to be the "Hide" function, and you'll see everything show up! Neat-o, right? =] Too bad CWM isn't touchscreen-capable =[
What probably happened for you is that you failed the pre-test. When they install an OTA update, it looks to make sure that certain apps are still there and makes sure no illegal mods are added to your Atrix. If you remove bloatware using Titanium or have root or you modded system files, you'll run into an error trying to update because you failed the pre-test. The best way around that problem AND the solution to upgrading without deleting anything is here. Use the Automated Update for PC Users, which will bypass this check. This was made for the sole purpose of those who don't want to lose their data, however, you'll be more likely to encounter strange bugs if you do upgrade this way. I suggest backing up your SD card before you do anything, perform this update, and then do a factory wipe. I know it's annoying because you have to re-input all of your info and stuff, but this is pretty much the only guaranteed way that about 95% of it will function as it should.
Hope that helped =D

When I touched the screen above the search button, I see the source of the error is "/system/app/swype.apk
so I imagine it is due to updating swype cuple of times and as far as I remember, in the first update i had to remove 2 system files to make it work.
This will help fix your issue.
1. Download the Motorola Drivers HERE if you haven't already, and install. (Link is to the 4.9.0 version, there is a newer one, but someone has said it has issues) If you would like to try the latest version, you can obtain them directly from Motorola Here.
2. Download RSDlite 5.3.1 HERE and install
3. Download the AT&T/Motorola 4.1.83 FULL SBF from this thread, unzip it and place it in a folder at C:\AtrixSBF\ (or something similar, short folder name, in the C:\ directory)
4. Plug your phone into a Rear USB port on your PC, using the OEM supplied USB cable. Set your USB option from the pull down Notification bar to None. ***For those that can't boot, power down, hold Volume Up while powering on. You should end up in Starting RSD protocol. Then continue. ***
5. Open RSDlite, wait until it recognizes you phone is attached.
6. Click on the "..." button and navigate to the SBF file you downloaded and select it.
7. Click the Start button and wait. It's good to stick around to make sure there are no errors, but it's going to take a good 20-40 minutes. DO NOT DISCONNECT anything until you see PASS next to the process you're running in the far right hand column.

This did it for me. Left the SD card update on my SD card and as soon as it rebooted to clean 183 it found the update and installed it!
Thanks
So...I welcome all the NOOB comments but in reality I'm hoping to learn from the wise ones in this field. I bought a Dell streak for learning purposes (own an MotoAtrix) so that I can really get behind the weels of learning android the meant it was meant to be FREE so here's my problem so far with with the dell streak. Since it got updated to the ATT 2.2 build 353 it has been restarting on it's own any time after 4-6 mins of real usage. I can leave it on it's own charging or just on standby and no issues but it freezes and resets itself to then hang on the Dell Logo before the colorful Dell Logo. Now here's the steps I've tried to resolve. like i said I want to learn not a solution to my problems.
I tried first the simple get in and reset from the Settings screens. reset still issues.
Then I tried a hard reset and still issue.
3.) I tried uploading the "Update.pkg" and then it tells me Update.pkg.dec out of date error 7....resets back to 2.2
after 5 mins of usage resets on own and hangs on dell black and white logo.
keep in mind sometimes the hang is so big I have to do a battery pull for at least half hour to get it back (makes me think that there's something going on with flash memories sort of like bios on a main computer)
replace battery restart and back to 2.2 reset okay tried to root with superoneclick 1.7 and it gives me this as I tried to root...and keep in mind I've tried both way trying to get the password first and then doing the super rage root.
GET UNLOCKED CODE SCRIPT

so no luck still having issues reseting..so I went on to the next step...MULTIFLASHER RECOVERY TOOL v.08 wich by the way is super sweet for someone to come up with this....but I do this still (SR #11) option and still once it resets it hangs in the Dell black and white logo screen. I guess another half to an hour battery pull. Hopefully I've given enough info or detail for someone to guide me in the right direction. as the next step from this is getting more android devices to root and modify to learn the process better before I start hopefully someday writing my own rom. Thanks Everyone!
Read this post all the way through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292859
Basically, flash the recovery for a stock rom, i.e. 354
upgrade from update.pkg
See if this fixes your issue.
Going to try this as it has been sitting on standby with out a battery for about an hour now so hopefully it will start no probs will post results from there. Thank You Much will reply once I have results in the AM
UPdate...
SO I tried your suggestion and I'm stuck at the point of adding the Drivers manually, (which may be the reason why flash and the rooting didn't work to begin with since it's not recognizing the device in the port that is connecting to. I've tried all 4 ports on this toshiba but guessing that I'm running a 64 OS also may be the reason for the issues. but I've tried adding the Qualcom HS USB Diagnostic device 9002 and I get the following error.
Driver is not intended for this platform and for some reason it always wants to assign driver for Qualcomm Diagnostic device 1937, if you know the manf of your device please contact ... yeah right like DELL will know how to fix this issue. So once I hit close it just gives it a Com14 or Com# depending on what port is plugged in.
64-bit OS has nothing to do with it, since I can successfully run Fastboot commands on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop without issues.
I believe your best approach is to intall Dell's sync software from Dell.com if you haven't already done so. That has the proper drivers for the Streak as well as creating the registry entries for the drivers. Once installed you actually can uninstall the sync software if you wish and the drivers will remain.
After that, do NOT run SuperOneClick or ANY one click rooting solutions. The recommended procedure is to copy Superuser.zip to the external SD, then flash Streakmod Recovery. Complete instructions and the Superuser.zip file can be downloaded here. Too many issues have been caused by one-click solutions, while the Superuser.zip/Streakmod Recovery method works flawlessly.
reinstalling the sync method...
I had already installed the sync software from dell and it was not connecting before I tried all the other methods I even tried reinstalling and have the program try to self fix install errors. So I'm going to uninstall completely and then reinstall see if that works. off tomorrow so i'm going to be burning the midnight oil to get this fixed am i crazy to think this is fun...? or is it the nerdiness in me that finds the challenge of restoring a hanging on a dell logo unstable 2.2 on a dell streak fun?
If I read correctly on the link that you posted, in order for me to do the streakmod recovery, I must have the streak rooted, now here's a problem with that since the computer hasn't been able to install the drivers I haven't been able to root the streak, and it keeps reflashing itself at boot to stock recovery so I don't get custom recovery boot. I will keep trying and post any updates or resolved issues in the hope that this can also help anyone out there. Thanks for all the imput I appreciate it!

Rooting and custom recovery are two separate things. You need a custom recovery to root using superuser.zip. You said it keeps rewriting the recovery when you reboot. I take it you have been able to flash recovery on it? If so, flash StreakMod again and instead of rebooting, pull the battery when finished. Put the battery back in and hold the volume keys (both) while powering on the device. Choose option 2 and you'll boot into streakmod. From there you should be able to flash superuser.zip and/or a custom rom. Note: Nearly all, if not all, custom roms are prerooted.
If you have flashed a custom recovery, what makes you think you have driver problems?
well...I tried the Multirecovery tool to try to get the Streakmod recovery on but when I tried to retry to load the streakmod.zip I couldn't get the other files on the sd but only the option to load from .pkg so I was under the assumption since I couldn't get the custom flash tool to read the zip i wanted to load that it didn't work. but here I go again. another thing I'm trying to start fresh I just formatted the sd card and I'm going to start fresh. will update once I try the next step. Going to load the right files onto sd then streakmod with multirecovery tool and then try to boot into streadroid by pulling the battery out and not letting it self reboot.
Under the advanced option in streakmod is an option to mount your sd card. Choose it and your sd card will appear in windows explorer.
You do not have to have root to flash and use StreakMod - you do have to flash it and then either reboot using the fastboot command and go right into recovery mode or do a battery pull and restart.
some reading:
Using StreakMod
Prevent overwriting of custom recovery
So...update...I tried to multirecovery tool option 11 Streakmod recovery in fastboot mode it kept giving me this message cant upload/admin user/... then it would proceed to succesful... so thinking that it successceded so I figure lets try this one more time load from sd update.pkg
message given was...
Assert failed: !less_than_int(1297160324. getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))
E:Error in /sdcard/update.pkg.dec
(Status 7)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:can't open: recovery/log
it restarted gave me the good ol white and black dell then the multicolor flash and then hanged on the white dell logo for 10 mins before i decided to pull the battery and see what now.
UPDATE: i did a battery pull for 20 mins restarted and it finally booted into froyo 2.2 (att rom) hmmm...? now to finally root to a more stable and better rom let the rooting and modding begin! hopefully this wont be an issue still wondering why it said error on this and status 7 anyone?
here's the problem with doing that. Something is putting such a drain on the phone that by the tim i have to boot if I don't give it a good five to ten mins to reset when I do reset it hangs on the dell screen or when I try to boot into a flash recovery mode it only gives me the stock recovery screen....? confused at this point where to go from this point. but if I have to brick I have to brick and rebuild again here's the current numbes.
android version 2.2
baseband version GAUSB 135331-US
Kernel 2.6.32.9 perf
OEM version GAUSB 135331
Build 15697
without touching it or using any features that would use the GPS it hasn't reset for over an hour 1:45 time on to streak mod preferably something more stable than the ATT Rom
I tip my hat to you. I am happy to see someone wanting to genuinely learn how to mod their streak without being spoon fed every answer. I have been getting sick of seeing all the incompetencies on the Streak forums. Thank you for brightening my evening with your desire to learn.
Good luck in your Streaking endeavours.

Only way to learn is to actually do something...you can't learn to fly if you don't jump, but I'm pretty sure that when people slam into the ground I'm sure they had more imput on how to stay in the air longer or eventually to not slam back into the ground...Question if I change the rom that I put in the sd card and relabel it as update.pkg with the stock recovery will that give us bad results aka as BRICKING the phone my question really is the rom more like the OS on a pc system and the recovery more like a bios?? reason why I'm asking is this streak is so unstable at times that I have to do battery pulls for hours before I can get a full restart. So I wanted to load a rom in there and restore from update.pkg but start with a rom that doesn't use as much system such as 1.6 to see if the reset comes from having a 2.2 that from what I've read ATT never tested enough to send out. to see if I could actually use it or if it's hardware causing all the restarts (guessing a bad internal sim) from what I've read. And thank you to everyone's imput that has made me learn a ton about this device. hopefully someday I can use it as my main device but working in a market where I'm required to have a working cell for straight 9 hours means I'm pushed to the awesome atrix wich I have to say it's a tough lil phone. Again thank you and to streaking I go!
so the Streak has gone streaking...
Apparently is not what we were doing wrong but we really had a bad streak The cpu was overheating anytime it had real heavy load on it and it will shutdown and reset over and over and over as it kept restarting everytime it needed to cool down so DELL AMAZINGLY HAS STEPPED UP and sent me a replacement device! since the STREAK is no longer being replaced they are sending me a Venue HEY I could complaint but the fact that it was out of warranty and they are doing everything in power to replace the unit wich should arrive soon is the only reason why I'm not continuing on working on the streak but!!! streak and Venue look like they are carrying the same software so ON TO A MORE RELIABLE PHONE AND MORE LEARNING THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE AND THEIR IMPUT! I can't wait till I have a flashed Rom at work and people say WAIT MY ANDROID DOESN'T DO THAT! SO ON TO LEARNING OTHER THINGS BY READING! ANY GOOD GUIDES TO READ OVER ALL PLEASE PLACE YOUR " YOU SHOULD READ THIS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WORLD OF ANDROID DEVELOPING"
I have gotten a g tab from my father in law after he tried to fix it and ended up buying a new one saying "if u can fix it you can have it" I have tried for hours and days to fix it on my own and have now tried to reach out for help
Basic problem:
-When I got the device it would boot to birds and go to g-tablet screen and no further
-Found viewsonic gtablet for dummies tried nearly everything (i believe correctly)
-Called G Tablet Support and got the "send it in to us and we can add the correct software for $60 if there is no problems otherwise the $$ may go up"
-went back to trying to fix on my own
-failed
Basic info:
-able to NVFlash with 0 errors on any packet
-can boot to g-tablet screen but no further
-can boot power & Vol+/vol- no issue
-cannot partition
-cannot wipe data/ factory reset
-can install zip from SD
Help! any ideas are worth a shot when it means (possibly) a free tablet. Eager to fix and try most ideas to get this thing fixed!
Also, This seemed to me a repost but i have looked at, tried, and failed to fix with several different posts/ideas from this site
I've seen a number of posts suggesting that you power off, open the back, pull the battery, wait a few minutes, plug the battery back in and turn it back on. It seemed to work for a number of people.
There is also a reset switch under the back cover.
I honestly don't know if one of these will work, but it's worth a try.
Can't suggest which rom you might try, since there's no way to tell which bootloader you have (v1.1 or 1.2).
I'll have to try pulling the battery plug tomorrow I don't have small enough tools. But I do know that im running 1.2 got that much outta tech support before they went grabbing for mytwallet lol
Here's a thread that explains how to open the GTab. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=994881
If you are on 1.2 (and are absolutely sure) you might want to start with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525424 to get the latest recovery ClockWork. Do this after you "pull the plug".
If it doesn't work after that, come back and let me know and I'll try to do some more troubleshooting with you. Since you said you actually had NVFlash working before, this might actually get you up and running on the latest stock rom. From there, you can move up to just about anything you want, upto and including Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). Just remember to check the forum information about what does not work. For example, if you move up to Gingerbread (3.x) or greater, there is a pretty good chance that you won't have camera or mic support at this time. Some roms don't support hardware acceleration at this point, but many do.
Anyway, come back and let me know how it went.
Awesome thanks. I'll be getting into that soon (after I finish cleaning) just wanted to thank you for your interest in helping me
Hey! finally got around to it but pulled the plug and grabbed that cwm recovery u had linked but i'm still hangin on the g-tablet screen. any other ideas?
I'm guessing that the tech support for GTab was wrong and you actually have a 1.1 boot loader.
Try following the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974422 on formatting the gtablet and starting over from scratch.

There is no reason to go out of the way to figure out what Bootloader you have. the NVflash files that you found on the ViewSonic Gtablet for Dummies guide will be your best bet. If you can get grab the NVflash files that include CWM recovery those are the ones you need. After NVflash is complete and you see the Gtablet splash screen press and hold the power button till the tablet shuts down. Once shut down you need to reboot into recovery by pressing down the volume + and press the power button to boot up. That should get you into CWM where you need to do a wipe data fatory reset, wipe cache and also wipe dalvic cache under the advance menu. Once that is complete then you need to back out to the main menu in CWM and reboot. Make sure that you do not select Reboot Recovery. Give the device some time and it should boot into the Stock TapUI where you can mess around with it from there.
I would choose 1.2 build 4349 w/CWM preinstalled (Old) NVflash file found here http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummie...65610&fw_sig_premium=0&fb_sig_network=fw#2310
Many times in the past the wipe data/ factory reset and wipe dalvik and most anybody those options lock up the tablet. It will just hang on the screen (depending on the option chosen) and not move from there for hours on end... Thoughts on why? Hoping not a hard drive problem

You will need to get your partitioning working. You can boot into recovery? And what happens when you attempt to partition.
If you are able to go past the 3 birds splash screen and see the gtablet screen, then you're on the stock ROM and the problem is most likely with the partitions on the internal SD card (or the card itself). In which case, nvflash will not help you.
Set up ADB and then run these 2 commands and post the output after you've tried one of those operations you mentioned in your 1st post:

Hello,
I have an LG Optimus V. I was going through a tutorial on rooting my phone and when I got to a step that says, "choose zip from sdcard" I got an error that there was no file on the sd card. I obviously did something wrong. At that point I was stuck so I restarted the phone. Obviously that was wrong as well because now I'm stuck on the "Fastboot mode started" screen. I tried following a couple of tutorials on how to fix this issue, but I still boot back up to the fastboot page. I am not a novice at working with computers and windows based phones, but I am new to rooting Androids. I appreciate any help you can give.

The main reason that I wanted to root my phone was to be able to have more space on my oh so limited space phone. I had successfully rooted my phone by following the first tutorial, but was unhappy with the results so I decided to try again and go with a different rom. That's when I got into trouble. If I can get out of this fastboot fix, I would appreciate any help on a rom that will help with my space issues. Thanks again.
