Guide - Manually updating Dell Venue 8 to 4.3 - Dell Venue

If you're like me, and your tablet didn't want to update to 4.3, fear not. I have your solution.
Thanks to @xdajunkman for the file required...
01. Connect your tablet to your pc
02. Download the first update zip file from @xdajunkman https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u..._US_user_signed_update_gota_package_32-39.zip
03. Copy the zip file to a microsd card inserted into your tablet ( I also renamed it to update.zip)
04. Press the Volume down + power button simultaneously, to boot into droidboot mode. (you would see the Dell Logo and then the Droidboot screen).
05. Use Volume down to select the third option and press power button to boot into recovery mode.
06. In recovery mode (droid on his back with his belly open), press the Power button + Volume up simultaneously, to display recovery mode menu. (hold them down for a second or two)
07. In recovery mode use Volume down to select update from external storage
08. Select the zip file
09. Wait for it to finish
10. Repeat steps 3-9 with the second update from @xdajunkman's post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48958168&postcount=219
10. After it completes press the power button to reboot
11. Enjoy 4.3
It worked for me, Your Mileage may vary.
EDIT:
It appears this will only work if you have one of the tablets that will not take the root exploit.

It may have worked for me because my tablet downloaded the 4.3 update on it's own, but it never applied it.

Ideas?

Possibly a bad Download or are you rooted and messed with build prop at all?
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Perhaps the problem is that it appears they may be more than one build of 4.2.2 on this device. Some can root with Cydia, some cannot. Perhaps this update file works for those of us who have a build that can't be rooted. Perhaps there is another update file for other build(s) of 4.2.2 for this device.
Don't know....just thinking....

Zip opens on PC and android so good download. No modify date on build.prof is consistent with the rest of the dates of the build. Donno if there are some other factors that would change but leave the file the same date. Maybe the jdq39 bit has something to do with it. Thats whats in my build.prof I'm holding off for now till I see progress or get the update normally.

I think its like xdajunkman said, some tablets can and can't be rooted so the update might be different for some tablets. The best thing to do for now is wait till the OTA is released.

Mine wouldn't take root, but it took the update with no problems. I definitely think some were patched. I had a small 4.2.2 update applied right when I booted for the first time out of the box. Sucks cuz I root everything I own, but I'll just have to wait I guess.
Anyway, thank y'all for the manual update instructions and zip.

Mine could not be rooted either. It also had a 6 meg update right after initial power up.
That must be the common denominator

I'm glad it helped someone at least.

Here is an idea - this is the update for 4.2.2 that installed once I powered the thing on for the first time:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u..._US_user_signed_update_gota_package_32-39.zip
Try installing this one first, then the 4.3 update. Maybe that will work. Note that using this update might make you unable to root and will break root if you have it already.

Can you share the name of the zip and where you got it? I just downloaded one from a thread here, but it's named Blur_Version.1.2.148.MB870.Verizon.en.US.zip, and when I go into the About Phone menu on my phone, the System Version is 1.2.148.MB870.Verizon.en.US also. The Android Version is 2.2.2 though.

"patching system files" right now. any idea on how long it takes? Kinda unsure every OTA/update i ever flashed on the NS/N1 was always quick
EDIT: done, first boot right now <3 god how i miss gingerbreadness, even if it is with ****ty UI
Now to wait for a 2.3.3 root method
everybody got the links?
just came online
dam phone is like a new one

Well, I thought I would wait for Moto, but things went south and I couldn't take it anymore. I went with the update that you gave and I've installed it successfully. I guess I'll truly have to wait now until someone talented finally gets root back on this version - not to mention we still have hope for an unlocked bootloader so that some real customization can begin to take place.
Thanks for everything y'all. It looks nice, we'll see how the speed is - not to mention it will be nice just if it stops rebooting on its own.

Root for M350K Galaxy M Style?

There is no fofum for my phone, does anyone know of a guide on how to get root on the M Style? The universal Samsung root for flashing in stock recovery doesnt work, super one click doesnt work, and xray say my device is immune to the known exploits. Im willing to root the hard way if I have too, just need steps so I dont brick my phone. Must... Delete... Bloat...
Edit- M340K, sorry.
Bump... Anyone know how to root this thing?
One more bump in case anyone else needs this, I found this finally.
http://auv.me/Galaxy-M-Style-SHW-M340K-root-rom
Its a standard Odin flash, all the odin files and pre-rooted rom are linked here. You can flash it as an update and keep everything, no need to wipe. It does install some carrier bloat (so I had two sets of bloat) but its rooted, so you can get rid of all of it.

I just recently rooted my Samsung M Style SHW-M340S phone.
[GUIDE]
1. Download the attachment that I uploaded.
2. Transfer the zip file to the root of your sdcard either by connecting your phone to your computer or wirelessly (Do not unzip the file).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Go into Recovery Mode by holding down the home button, volume up button, volume down button, and the power button at the same time. Once you see the SAMSUNG logo show up, release the power button and you should see the recovery menu. Select "apply update from sdcard". Use the volume up and down buttons to scroll up and down the menu. Press the home button to select your option.
5. Use the volume up and down buttons and choose the zip file.
6. After the update is complete, choose the option to "reboot system now".
7. After the phone finishes restarting, you now have a rooted phone.
Note: I'm not sure if this will work on a M340K/L phone as I don't have those phones to test out.
m340s
I used several methods to root my m340s. but non of them worked.
After following ur proceeedure when i run terminal emulator it shows $ mark. but when i run the code "su" (without quotes) there it was turned to # instead of $ and it allowed to run that code. I think its rooted now.
Thanks a lot..
I dont know what to do next. im serching the web..

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.

hope he follows up with a thank you.

Hii,
Finally I reached on TWRP. Can I copy the Stock ROM Zip file in Memory Card and then install memory card on phone. And from Install in TWRP I can go the SD Card location and install it from there? Possible ?
Actually there was no battery on phone that is why the phone was not booting up to TWRP mode. Now I'm in TWRP and downloading Stock ROM. Hope it get fixed soon.
Many Thanks and Regards

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip

Please let me know.

Both are not working. ON TWRP it is saying ..

ZIP File Signature VERIFICATION FAILED
Error in Flashing Zip
Please help?
Edit : I also tried Unticking ZIP File Verification. But still it says .. "Error in Flashing Zip"
I did this from the forum @carrett started:
Obtain the following files: AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip (available on IRC or googling), and the firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219953). Unzip AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip and follow the instructions in "READ ME FIRST.txt" (mad props to tSilenzio for automating this process).

make sure to download the first file too.... to get to download mode just use twrp's reboot menu... from what i remember it has a reboot to bootloader. From there you can use the volume keys to select Download mode and push the power button to go into it...

I tried reboot to boot loader but unfortunately it takes me back to Fast Boot mode (in green Andriod screen) :/
I also tried all options of reboot but no use. Either the phone comes in Fast Boot mode or Power off.

power off and connect charger let me know if it shows the charging animation , unfortunately it seems Intel's / Dell's method of hiding how long these devices actually take to boot (to the point its actually booting android ) is by using the splash screen ( which you see even it the boot.img and system.img get corrupt ) as the boot animation this makes it really hard to identify bootloops and corrupt partitions. but if you see the charging animation we at least know the boot.img is intact and we can continue to fixing the device.

not the start up text but we can get the splash screen removed to show the intel inside logo this at least allows you to know when it is actually booting , on mine i added an additional simple splash screen in install-recovery.sh so i see , intel inside , then starting su daemon , then the boot animation ,

If you use the unbrick ( xsftk loader or any of the other Intel flashing tools that use it ) process to unbrick or early on root / bootloader unlock the process wipes the splash.img from the osip header leaving you with the Intel default Intel inside logo instead of the dell splash screen.

I see no point in installing this version, honestly I can't think of why it was ever made, useless rom, all that is needed is ifwi.zip the rest is garbage. You only need ifwi.zip to unlock your bootloader.
Intel should have only released ifwi.zip, the rest of the stuff is really unless unneeded junk, LOL I never get why companies waste people's time, all they need to do now is release ifwi.zip for Venue 7 then it would also be unlocked.

2.- One day I push the power button ready to play a game but the device show me an android robot with a red icon and the "sin comandos" legend...
3.- I enter the web in the search of a solution and trying the process:
- a.- hold power button + volume down and choose in the menu the recovery option.
- b.- when the android robot appears hold power button + volume up and choose the wipe data/factory reset option.
- c.- select the reboot system now option.
4.- This entire process should be restore my tablet but nooo!!
Then I have tried to learn what I have to do and I think is needed install a rom just as I do in a PC... format the computer and install an OS = format the tablet and install an android rom...
I´m not sure if is this correct or no but is what I´m trying to do...

[Q] Dell Venue 8 3830 won't boot

My Dell venue 8 3830 stopped working yesterday. It started with the "com.google.process.gapps" process has stopped working", which is a common error that can be fixed. However, it kept coming up and it wouldn't go away. After a while, other apps started crashing as well. I restarted into safe mode, however it just booted into the normal OS. I wasn't able to wipe the tablet either. When i pushed the "erase everything" button, it wouldn't do anything. I was able to boot into recovery, and i hit the restore button. It then proceeded to try to reboot, then gave me an error screen with the text "No Command". I then plugged it into my PC, where it booted to a screen with a picture of a USB symbol with a white bar underneath. I unplugged it and now it wont boot. All it will do is flash that USB screen. I'm thinking the OS corrupted or the Hard Drive has started to fail. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Okay, this unbrick method will install 4.3 and change your splash screen to the "Intel Inside" one instead of the original Dell logo. I also believe you will have to root to update to 4.4.2 which will void your warranty. It's a last resort type solution.

before you do that, try to go into fastboot mode, by holding power and volume down
*make sure you device is unpluged
If that works you can select recovery, then hold volume up and power for a few seconds, and then you should be able to select wipe data

If I'm not wrong
The recovery of the android lying is a stock recovery and only will let you install the developer edition, but is 4.3 and in my tablet sometimes the instalation fails.
If you want to install zip roms you need a custom recovery
If you don't have custom recovery an option is installing stock rom images from fastboot.
Hope this help you, even with bad English

You need to flash the files for your device from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51090040. First unzip the FLASHPKG, then flash the boot, recovery, system and fastboot. Then flash the two .bin files in the ifwi folder.
