It has 2.2 android version now.
I read on dell website they are giving 2.3 upgrade but the link seems not to be working
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?
can i get dell upgrade by dells mobile pc software?

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.
My gtalk id is [email protected] and yahoo id is [email protected]

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.
one names BASIC and one named OTHER.
so im confused.

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!

Good Morning everyone (or afternoon or night)!
Yesterday i flashed CM7 for the first time ever (Never flashed nothing before, except TWRP which i did it like 2 days ago.). Flashed it through TWRP Recovery and had a problem but solved it (froze on CM7 Logo). But this morning i noticed i had another problem, no GSM! When i flashed it and booted into system i found it wierd that it didnt ask me for my PIN but i was waaaaay to sleepy to think about it. But thats not all, as I found that i didnt had GSM, I also noticed that i didnt have my SIM contacts listed.
So if any of you could help me with this i would really appreciate it, as i really need my GSM working!
Any kind of help is welcome! Even if it means Flashing another ROM. Just really need my GSM working for now!
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 <-- Where i downloaded CM7
- Before CM7 i had the 2.3.3 official update
PS: Yesterday when i had that freezing problem at CM7 Logo i flashed the patch mik mentioned on the FAQ's (see "Q: I flashed rom and GSM don't works. What's to do?"). It says that would fix that freezing problem and also would fix the no GSM problem but it didnt!
Thank you all in advance for all the help you might give!

You can restore something only if you backed it up. So if you made a backup of your old ROM go into recovery and hit restore. If not either flash a .zip ROM or use KDZ.
Good and bad news guys! i restored my 2.3.3 stock ROM and managed to get GSM again.(had to downgrade the baseband for 2.3.3 stock), that is the good thing!
The bad thing(not that bad i think i can manage to get it ) is that i wanted to flash a custom ROM but im not sure if i should do it because i thought CM7 was one of the best ROM's to flash and i was amazed by it at first! But that GSM thingy got me a bit mad and a bit insecure about doing it again. I wouldnt get mad and would have kept the ROM if i had solved the GSM problem but i didnt!
Any suggestions of what i should do? Any ROM's suggestions? (preferably with that awesomeee CRT off animation [yeah every one loves it!])
Ill wait for your replies! thank you very much for everything you done to help!

If u want to have CM7 by Mik you have to downgrade your baseband. Short way is using KDZ to flash old version of firmaware (v10a or similiar), then ROOT, install custom recovery and then flash CM7.
Well the only experience i have at rooting was by rooting my p500 with 2.3.3 official with superoneclick! I dont really know how to downgrade the firmware and root it on froyo! But if anyone could provide the way to do that i would really appreciate it!
Btw im sry if im asking too much, but i prefer the opinion and help of a more experienced person than just me finding something and boom! Bricked! But i also search even if i ask you guys something!

Read the entire guide, step by step!!!... Anyway it is pretty straightforward
BTW, remember to first install lg drivers on your pc... connect the phone via usb and disable LGE Virtual Modem drivers from device manager on windows,, --> this is extremely important to succeed!
My phone is ok again TakamineSubasa! i just needed an opinion on which ROM should i flash! I've done that guide and it went well! (for the 2.3.3 version! i think i messed up and used P500-v20G-baseband for CM7 [wrong one] and should have used P500-v10E-baseband). But ofc a stable ROM that doesnt have GSM problems :s
btw i was really disappointed with CM7 (or i just dont know nothing about it!). I used it all day (even though i had GSM) and i had no messaging widget, no market, and other things i dont remenber! If i flash it again is there a way to have those apps and widgets like normal stock ROM has?
Thank you very much for the help!

No market? U forgot a flash gapps. Other Widgets I dun think so.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Yep, as terratrix, you must flash gapps in order to get the market on your phone and install everything you want....
Concerning abt stock widgets, CM7 does not include any stock lg crap... although you can install them later if you want, there are posts on how to install stock **** again but dunno where they are ...
btw, --> here you have the lastest gapps available: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
for your security, flash this zip with Zip Signature Verification on in TWRP, to ensure that everything its going to be perfect
Thank you very much guys! ill probably flash sonygen but not sure yet! Need some opinions! if anyone is willing to give some i would appreciate!
Thanks for all the help!
Sonygen is pretty nice and fast. It's a themed cm7, so if you like the SE style go ahead and flash it.

Awesome news! i decided to flash CM7 again! Did the tutorial terratrix provided right after i flashed it and GSM is working perfectly! (just dont know why i had to import my contacts to the phone! Aparentely CM7 doesnt read contacts that are in the SIM card! No biggie!)
Thank you so much for every help you provided guys!

I put gingerblur on my rooted atrix yesterday using this video
youtube.com/watch?v=MvC0C2h95BY&list=FLqfb2F1A2s4Z08JTFsWNuGg& index=4&feature=plpp_video (which involves CMW or something)
meaning i had no idea what i was doing just following step by steps on the video, and ever since my homescreen button and search button dont work and i no longer have a lock screen so i want to go back to stock because i dont like the bugginess!
my phone before i put it on gingerblur was 2.2.2 froyo on tmobile uk (unlocked device with no tmobile branding on the rear cover)
i would really apreciate it if someone could guide me how to turn it back to the software it came with or an official less buggy software please?
i checked my ota upgrade with gingerblur on the device and it says i can go to ATT gingerbread but then im sure this wouldnt work in the uk with the radio update but someone said i can do the ota then just flash the radio to a uk one but i had no idea what that means
im not sure at all what im doing with this and i wish i didnt follow the tutorial in the first place can someone help me please!
i just want to get back to stock or an official software that will work on tmobile uk and not brick my phone.
any helpe is appreciated thank you!
P.S i have CWM recovery does this have anything to do with restoring your phone how it was because it seems to have recovery options?
Did you unlock the bootloader? If you did, and have CWM, just install a ROM of your preference
If you want a hint on what ROM to choose,
Most of the ROMS available are based on 2.3, so consider going with CM7 if you like AOSP or Aura if you want blur
im not sure what a bootloader is all i can say i did was root my phone, then use that tutorial thats all iv done.. ohh ok so rather than being able to go back too a stable stock build i have to stay with roms full of bugs? :/
I'm gonna assume that you have tried a factory reset (most basic thing i could imagine)
I don't think that there are any SBFs for people with the T-mobile version, so i think the only thing you can do is either search for a removal tool or unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery and then install a ROM.
You should read this. Or you can follow this video guide.
Actually, ROMs can often be very stable and offer way more functionality.
You could always grab a "stock" ROM and install that, should be as close to stable as you can get.
ohh ok well i already have CWM recovery install in my phone so i guess installing a stable rom would be the best option for me? until i can go back to stock by sbf
What version of CWM do you have? How did you install it?

no offence
no offence to people who have tried to help but iv still got nowhere.
i wish i just left my phone how it was now. im stuck with no home button or search button, no calender widget, no lock screen, no fingerprint scanner...
my phone bootloaded must have been unlocked for me to even put gingerblur on it?
all i have done is used a tutorial to root it and then another that i put in the description to put gingerblur on and now will people please please please just watch the video and understand my sistuation
and tell me step by step what i have to do with links...
so far i understand i should unlock the bootloader but does gingerblur count as me having gingerbread or am i still on 2.2.2?!

Gingrrblur is not a real rom therefore you are not unlocked and do not have a full cwm that you can flash other roms with. Just use an sbf from the firmware thread to get you back to stock gb then if you want to find a radio corresponding to your area on the same thread. Both are flashed through rsd lite
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
yes, Gingerblur is a pseudo-ROM (p-ROM) and from what I know, it doesn't touch alot of important parts of the phone, for example the bootloader.
I'm guessing your bootloader is exactly the same as a regular 2.2. I guess flashing the IHOP_Bell.sbf and then doing fastboot unlock should do the trick
ok we're getting somewhere
I kinda understand now so could you send me some links in the order I need to so each thing please? One thing I don't want to do is install software from at&t and then have the wrong radio lol from what IV found there's no T-mobile software but is some orange ones and seeing as tmobile and orange are the same company in the uk, so basically I could get official gingerbread software then a T-mobile radio software and put them both on my atrix now I just need to know how to do it

Hello guys,i am a complete novice to dell and have a dell streak 5 that is running android version
2.2.2
base band version GAUSB1A135100-EU.
kernel version
2.6.32.9-dj_steve-BFS-CFQ-KGSL2D-Vol-OC
oem version
190
build number
StreakDroid 1.9.0 from a DJ steve (on device when i purchased) and has basically ground to a Holt
I do not have much of an idea but i know that it needs updating.having read the forums about the updates my head is all over the place.
i ask please for a link to the correct firmware i need to flash.. and what i need to flash with the easiest way
Hope you can help me and point me in the right direction..I have took the time to read the forums but i still have no idea what i need for this device
as i have just received it.
Many many thanks in advance
Rather open-ended question because the correct firmware is going to vary depending on what you want to do. For instance, do you wish to revert to a stock ROM? Do you want to be as up to date as possible? Are certain features important to you?
I personally don't recommend going back to stock, but to go forward and get a custom gingerbread ROM. Check the development forum for four good ones: Longhorn 2.9.1, DSC 1.2, Cyanogenmod 7, and MIUI.

Hi and thanks for taking time to reply,I am going to go back to stock to keep it as simple as possible to move device on,if its running stock there can be no hassles for new owner,i have the dell stock gingerbread update.
I will do a factory reset prior to flash and then put update on root of sd then boot to recovery and install IS THAT CORRECT?
many thanks

no need to revert to stock then... streakdroid 1.9 is the best for 2.2.2... so whats the point on going back to stock...? all stock are not optimized at all and have many hidden and useless application in it...
last time i tried using the deodexed stock but still it is not enough and does drain the battery too... custom rom is way better...
but if you insist on going stock.. i am not stopping you.. do what ever you want.. also updating to stock gingerbread such as olleh 407 has its own problem too...

Thanks for your help...if possible could you point me to the correct1.9 as i have no clue as so many roms and how do i apply it..I have read the threads and i am dizzy and to what i have to do as i have never been near a dell streak,never even knew they existed
so i will take that advice as i know your right i just thought stock would be easy to apply less hassle as i just want to get device up and running and stable.
again thank you for your help

First thanks for you help and taking time to reply'second I have searched and read and as I said it is totally confusing for me as new to dell'some folks need to read why Xda started and about the journey'why do some folks get upset when others ask for help,not everyone is at the same level of android knowledge as others and therfore need a little help,I have helped many users on xda and never even thought are you stupid or what,can you not read...I have given it gladly as I was there once...
Help should be given willingly and without knowledge bias or you should not bother being on the site'just because you know more about a certain piece of kit does not give anyone the right to be all high and mighty...you know this thread inside out I do not so I asked for help.
Some folks need to take a look back at when thier journey into android started...did you ask for help??.have you never asked for help??

I see from other posts that you are going to put 407 on the device and with this post why you're going that route is clear. Factory reset isn't required prior to flashing because flashing the ROM itself will wipe everything. What is required is that the stock recovery image for 407 be placed on the device before attempting to flash the ROM. Otherwise it won't work. I'm not going to go into detail on how to change the recovery image because there are sticky posts galore that have all the relevant info. A good thread to look at is in Streak 5 Android Development, titled "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it".

Hi mate thank you for your kind help,yes I have the stock recovery to flash first.the download contained both recovery and rom image.
I think I am about there with what to do...flash recovery with flashboot then boot to that recovery and install firmware from sd card having changed to update 'what I am still a little perplexed about is the region I think the firmware is 00,what do I need for U.K.
Thankyou again

I get all that but I needed to ask...and folks should not be made to feel bad just because they have asked for help... I had no idea as to what to search for as I have never even seen a dell before,I assumed it would be as other androids get a stock rom and just flash but was hit with so many differant roms...ones for each region etc.l could not find a post that said LATEST STOCK ROM FOR U.K DELL STREAK 5 or anything like it,and it was a hell of a lot more complicated than I imagined so I was stuck and asked for help.Thankfully with the snippets of help I have been given I am more knowledgable now and even capable of flashing the device properly I hope...and if for some reason someone else needs to know the same I will pass on what I have learnt from you guys gladly to help a android user
Once again thank you for your help and infomation

The country you are in and the carrier you are using do not matter when it comes to flashing a Streak ROM. All that matters is whether the region of the recovery matches the region of the ROM you are installing. Thus, for 407, you would need a region 14 recovery as 407 is a region 14 ROM. Unlocked Streaks purchased direct from Dell had their own region, 00. To flash one of those ROMs, e.g. 360, you would need a region 00 recovery.
I hope that clears things up.
I bought my streak from india and it has has rom 357

i dont understand what fastboot is and i dont know how to get leaked ics on my device
can someone give me instructions ?
I'm rooted but i dont know if i have CWM installed or not
running GB 2.3.4
bought the phone from Egypt
i think i speak for everyone when i say, dont bother at all.
the ICS only just been realeased in undeveloped form and is dangerous at this moment in time
just wait a month or two then read a few stickies about unlocking your bootloader and flashing roms!
Beware it's too early for daily use!

I would recommend MRom(build on CM7.2) which is pretty decent especially in regard of battery life, until they create a firm version of this ICS leak. It's probably going to be a Jelly Bean release because some guy succeeded to create a JB rom out of this leaked Atrix 4G ICS leak.
Thank you both for your replies
i'm not a complete noobie, i used to have the defy and i was always upgrading to cm10 nightlies
but with the atrix everything is new to me....i feel that i'm lost and i keep reading but get nothing
i'm just so excited about the leaked ICS because i was waiting for this even before i bought the phone

I'm definitly a noob and still trying to fill the gaps in my knowledge. Right now I still cannot figure out how to even root my phone (MB860) running android 2.3.4. I would really appreciate some advice from one of you. Is there any chance I can call one of you? I am in England but just bought 2 hrs of American minutes. I also have skype.
If any of you are interested in helping out a noob I would much appreciate it. I am technically very savvy, I'm just unclear as to the interfaces of Linux and Android and the different tools out there.
Before you tell me to, I have already read the thread for noobs.

If all you want to do is root you can check out superoneclick root, it did the job for me on the last available GB update released. But remember that you have to have the proper drivers installed and that this does not allow you to flash custom roms, it simply gives you root access.
The drivers can be found here (I think).
superoneclick can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
also make sure to read a bit from that thread.
If you are a n00b don't install THAT rom... it's very unstable..
superoneclick rocks
superoneclick rocks, as does cwm recovery. Install both, and don't look back.
well , i managed to unlock bootloader and install recovery and now i just flashed cm10 by epinter

Hello. Yesterday was my birthday and i got a used note 1 from my cousion. I came from the HTC evo 3D and i know how to fully root s-off, roms..etc. And i would really like to learn how to do the same to this phone as well. As of right now it has the 4.0.4 firmware on it ICS. I have never owned a samsung phone before and im really new to all of this for the note. I will thank any help i get! I cant wait to start flashing ROMS and kernels to this phone!! . Also once i flash the recovery how do i boot into it? And will i be able to flash roms directly from the phone? I know there is a program called odin that is used to flash recoverys and kernels i think. Last question would be.. Where can i find usb drivers for windows 8.1 for the note 1. Thanks again!

What rom did you flash? Some kit Kat roms require you using cwm recovery. Try flashing a different rom.

Well I just flashed a jellybean 4.1.2 ROM and it is working perfect. But I still want kitkat. I don't remember the name of the one I tried to flash. My main question is when I flash jb, ICS, or kitkat. Do they all just work after flash or do I need some kinda different boot thing like my HTC needed? Last thing is I could not find a flashable cwm recovery through Odin. Do I have to flash it with an app through the phone? PS: If it is as easy to flash things to this phone as easy as I think that would be awesome. So far I am LOVING THIS THING. Samsung might be my new favorite brand.. I had to do so many things to my HTC evo 3D just for custom kernels to be on it. Thanks for any help I get.

Update: Flashed cwm non touch recovery through the app. And I also flashed the candy shop kitkat 4.4.2 ROM, upon boot the WiFi would not work so I am back on the jb 4.1.2 ROM and I am now downloading hellybean jb 4.3 now. I wiped the data before I installed the kitkat ROM and there is no option in recovery to wipe the system so I guess every ROM I install it will overwrite which is kinda weird. I will try to flash the touch version of cwm later.. The one on the forum you gave me says access denied on my phone when I try to download the latest one. But It did work on my pc so I'll get it from there..

Glad your researching!
I also recommend reading the rom descriptions, and instructions. Some builders will clue you in as to which recovery to use, and what gapps need flashed.
I also recommend skimming thru the posts to see what issues other users may have had. They might of given you a clue as to why the Wi-Fi didn't work.

Can you possibly tell me what I can do to make my games run faster on this phone? I ran quadrant and got 3100 as the score. That seems a bit low in my opinion. Or maybe you can tell me what rom is faster. Idk.
