if you want to go back to stock 4.3 on the dell venue 8 use Dell's recovery tool that's inside the developer folder.
HOW TO INSTALL:
1. Turn off your Dell Venue 8
2. Go into fastboot mode by holding down power and volume down
3. On your computer run p801t_JB4.3_flash_device.bat
4. Wait
5. When the command finishes hit any key and your Dell Venue 8 should reboot in to android 4.3
You could also use this for restoring your tablet if its stuck on the dell logo (as long as you can get into fastboot mode)
P.S. you cant upgrade to kitkat after

no because I took the files out of the dell dev conversion file which is only for the venue 8

I managed to solve my problem
Basically, I downloaded a new version of the 4.3 stock image (from post "[TOOL KIT] myKIT_BATCHV1.1.x") and replaces the files used by the crowncar12 .bat file, including the partition.tbl file. And another thing I did was change the name of system.img, leaving system.img.gz, as explained in the same post "[TOOL KIT] myKIT_BATCHV1.1.x" (sorry, as new user I can't post urls...)!
So, now my Venue 8 is with 4.3 and no glitches, for now!
Thanks!

I looked at the contents of these files and am wondering if anyone has tried the same method for venue 7.. My tablet reboots sometimes when I exit apps, usually when trying to open clash of clans after switching out of it but not always. Today it did it coming back out of YouTube to go into Facebook...
I am sure you can downgrade 7 in a similar manner.

hey .. i need your help and im a little desperate...
i found out that eclair is available for the streak so i thought id upgrade to it!..
and now my phone is bricked..
here is what i did to my phone before it got bricked (in chronological order)
1. downloaded the Update.pkg file
2. tried to root my dell streak with Super user 3 to 4 times because it dint seem to work.
3. used unversal androot ( selected the unroot 1.5/1.6 option)
4. it rooted ( i guess)
5. put the update.pkg file on the SD card
6. went to boot loader mode
7. selected the 2nd option
8. press the shutter button to start the process
9. it showed that it was updating
10. and voila it is bricked! (only the dell logo appears)
could you please tell me how to unbrick it or get 2.1 working?
hi
I had the same problem , spent all day trying to fix it, if you perform this command fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash boot c:\6941_boot.img you should be able to boot your phone.

Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash boot 6941_boot.img
fastboot -i 0x413c flash system 6941_system.img

Notes:
You will need to perform a factory reset after flashing if coming from 1.6.
You do not need to flash boot.img or perform a factory reset if you already have 2.1 installed.

If you look in the Dell Streak 7 forum there are several threads there on how to recover the Streak 7 back to factory state.... The one I found most useful was the NVFlash method, you pretty much just download the files (does take a while) place a folder with all those files in your C: drive, connect the Streak with certain buttons pushed (can't remember) and that puts it the mode it needs to be in. It will install the drivers and then you just run a .bat file, it takes about 2 minutes to flash all that to the Streak.
It does take a few hours to download everything though, but you will have a stock Streak when you are done

I tried that and it didn't work. Those files are apparently only for the 4g T-Mobile Streak 7. In fact all the threads I saw about recovering a Streak 7 to stock were about the T-Mobile version.
Couldn't you just take the original recovery.img if it's around and flash as you would flash normally?

That's not the reason I suggested that. Just try it to see if it'll restore your device to a usable state. If it doesn't work, then you're probably out of luck.

So.. My first tread here.
Anyways, let's jump into the topic itself.
So today foolishly, I used TWRP and "kind of" deleted the whole operating system by accident.
How could I recover it, and no, I do not have ANY backups, I used to have but seems like I deleted them aswell..
The phone is Nexus 4 and Android version is 4.4.4
This is kind of urgent, since I need my phone to work right now.
All help is appreciated, waiting for your replies,

Use adb to push a new rom to the phone and install in TWRP.
Use fastboot to flash the stock img files to the phone while in bootloader/fastboot mode.

This is stock kitkat rom (4.4.2) rooted, with unsecure boot.img, Kernel is stock. this rom is designed to be flashed via CWM recovery, I also have 4.3 rom setup the same, this is as easy way to reinstall kitkat.
To install place signed_dell_v8_kitkat.zip on micro sdcard or internal sdcard, boot into CWM Recovery, format cache, data, system then navigate to signed_dell_v8_kitkat.zip and install. Once installed reboot to system, select no when asked to fix root, once at desktop setup your tablet as you normally would setup a new install.

Excellent man I have had small problems with my tablet for a while now, I fasttboot, the system files SDC provides they work, but tablet ran like a walmart buggy that had one bad wheel clunk clunk clunk. Now tablet runs like a race horse.
Do you know why this rom runs better than SDC system and boot.img? I guess I am asking do you guys use same system and boot.img, and if you do does installing via your recovery make the tablet perform better cause your method sets permissions and creates links and so on?
Again thanks man, this is the way I expected my tablet to run, when I bought it, finally I may get some use out of this tablet.

I haven't used fastboot to flash system files on this tablet, I have with other androids, boot.img I have flashed via fastboot, I can't tell any difference in flashing boot.img via fastboot or recovery.
I would think my system and boot.img are the same as SDC, mine were pulled from my tablet, not sure were SDC got his, but seeing both are stock, it would seem reasonable they are the same. My system includes root and I removed recovery-from-boot.p from system., boot.img has been modified to always allow root in adb.
If you were talking about two zip installs I would most likely guess the other person used a kitchen or some auto script to make their rom, these fail on complicated installs like this tablet, Due to the amount of symbolic links.
I make zips install via hand, I go through each folder in system, find and record all symbolic links, add each and everyone to my updater-script , I also make sure I link to toolbox if it's linked in stock rom, some people use busybox, this can be a mistake, cause if you upgrade busybox via playstore you could loose all your symbolic links. Causing tablet to be caught in an endless bootlooop, I have seen this happen to people and created them a permission.zip that reset all their permissions correctly, cause they could only boot into recovery.
The only issue I have is my 64gb SD card isn't working. In the settings, storage, it shows the card but can't access my music, movies or pictures. Edit : Everything's working fine, just needed to give it a little time.

I will, once, I get moved and get internet, right now I just use my tablet tethered through cell phone.
I use same method on all my devices, http://www.androidtablets.net/threads/how-to-dual-boot-via-lenovo-a2109.52475/
Basically one just partitions their sdcard, modify boot.img's ramdisk to mount sdcard instead of internal partitions.
Then use adb or flashable.zip to install the rom to sdcard, then to be able to switch between installs flash boot.img via recovery. You have two flashable boot.img on your sdcard, one boots to device other boots to sdcard.
Once move is done, I will upload 4.3 rom and modified boot.img.

2 quick questions!
Will this work with the Dell Venue 8 3840?
Can I use this rooted image to downgrade from 4.4.4?
My story goes like this:
I got the Venue 8 3840. It only comes with 1gb of Ram. Which happens to not be enough for my simple uses (Facebook + web browsing). Let alone my complex ones (gaming).
So when the 4.4.4 update came out, I installed it, thinking it would help. Now things are even worse. I've pretty much stopped using it.
I've followed some instructions via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/development/guide-how-to-root-android-4-4-4-dell-t2918427
It is supposed flash 4.4.4 rooted using ADB and Fastboot. But when I run a root checker it fails.
Really... I would rather have 4.4.2 rooted as it seemed to be better for performance.
Also. I'm going to do a RAM swap via SDcard on the tablet. I've already done it on my old android phone, and I love the results.
Thank you for your time and effort in creating this image.

That's what I thought. Thanks for letting me know so soon before taking the plunge.
Do you know how can i downgrade my dell venue 8 3830 to Android 4.2.9 or 4.3? Because there still the bug with 4.4.2 that turns the screen black and you have to lock it and then unlock it to get the screen works normally again.

Sounds like you didn't unlock the boot loader. Post exactly what you did from start to finish.
