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.

hey guys, i have no clue what happened. i havent fooled around and fiddled with my HDX 8.9 in months. i rooted it in december and installed safestrap last month (but i didnt use it. i only installed safestrap in anticipation of a rom) and out of the blue my kindles wifi stopped working yesterday. i decided to restart it bc thats the ultimate fix for all electronics but now its stuck on the animated kindle fire boot logo. ADB works and i can also boot into fastboot. Thats where my knowledge ends. i dont have the knowledge you guys have and i have googled this for the past 3 hoours but to no avail. i would find other help on other devices but i dont wanna risk ruining my hdx even more by trying another devices fix.
can anyone tell me how to recover from adb. i tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530623
and it just booted me into fastboot and i would use this command: "fastboot -w -i 0x1949" and that doesnt do anything. androidcowboy seemed to have some problems with that method too, so im skeptical. is there someway to push a unmodified firmware and get stock back?? ill provide any more info you guys need. a quick step by step or a link to somebody elses page would be awesome!! a cookie to the best helper! :highfive:
PS i should also mention that i can in fact boot into safestrap. however, my backup does not appear. my internal storage in safestrap says 0mb. is my internal sdcard not mounting for a reason?
please help!

did you use the normal usb calbe to boot into fastboot mode? or you were using a special usb cable?
if you can boot into safesatrap, then your hdx is not a brick at all ,you can fix it in safestrap ,try to google the ways using the SS.

thanks for response. i was using a normal cable. are you sugesting that i load amazons official firmware over my stock partition through SS? this is why i was asking because this is what it seems google say to do. i was planning on doing that but i didnt want to mess my device up more so thats why i was asking. i was thinking of creating a slot and installing stock firmware on it and see if it was safe but because my internal storage doesnt mount and shows up as 0mb i was unable to create a slot and load the firmaware.
please be a little more specific as to what i should be googling and i will gladly do it. i hate asking questions in forums bc i dont want to be that guy who takes peoples time up for a simple solutioin but the truth is that i looked everywhere before i asked the question. i have a couple of methods i would like to use but i dont know which one is the right one and the safest one. im leaning towards reloading stock amazon firmware into the stock slot on SS.
thanks again and sorry for being a pain. im a noob compared to most of you guys but believe it or not im quite tech saavy.

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)

Yeah...., I could go with this too, actually. I had pretty much everything from the board loaded. Including @Chainfire 's recov. I then later attempted to update the *poluza rom parts. It was failing any which way I tried in or out of twrp. Unfortunately, I am not much of a fastboot user, nor twrp.
I thought that maybe it had something to do with this updated vendor img. By the time I was done I had reformatted several times and started from scratch not leaving out steps. As far as I know. With just these images and no device trees nor a proper updater script, there is no way to tell really.
Currently and for a few days, it's been down to bare metal, and only a fastboot to look at. lol
I can't even seem to make a new factory image flash.
Never since my first android have I been this lost frankly.....
Maybe they have them now, I will look but it would also be helpful if the guys used a bit of ......'if.....then......' in their 'OP's'
"If you are using the included recovery, then......"
"If you are using this recovery then do......."
"If you wanted to use @Chainfire s recovery, then simply paste it......."
etc.

Somewhat similar situation. I previously rooted my HTC One X+ (Intl) with Viper X+ rom. I thought I would experiment with it as it is no longer my daily phone, and since I liked the Cyanogen experience on OnePlus One, thought i would try to install it on the HOX+.
I followed these official (?) instructions http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_enrc2b#Installing_recovery_using_fastboot, however, after getting CWM recovery on and then flashing via sideload command the ROM, I am now stuck in the CM bootloop animation and computer no longer recognises the device, and can't find anyway to get back to bootloader, recovery etc.
I did read about bootloop issues after this and some people said that the boot.imhg file should have been flashed separately (thanks CM for not including that instruction!), and somehow my computer recognised it one more time after the bootlooping started and I managed to get into fastboot to flash boot.img, but, then rebooted and bootloop again. Since then I have had no way to get back into recovery or bootloader, so it just runs until battery dies.
Should it go into the bin? Or anything else I should try?
Thanks so much for any
EDIT: Solved...I was able to get recovery back, then did full reset and followed instructions above re boot.img flash and now am back into my phone with a new lease on life and CM ROM!!
Two more noob questions if I may, now that I have my HOX+ back...
I am now running CM 10.2.1-enrc2b.
I have 3 updates available and being offered to me (upgrade to CM11 from CM10):
- cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4
- cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10
- cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M12
1. I downloaded and installed the latest M12, but upon rebooting it went into a bootloop for 15mins+. I then followed your instructions again to get back. So, it seems I at least need to install them in order starting from the earliest (ie M4), but before doing so I wanted to check if anyone knows if these are even compatible with my HOX+ (Intl)?
2. Which would be the best place to get the right gapps package and installation instructions (if CM can get it wrong, am now wary of someone else leaving out the critical boot.img flash step eg)?
Thanks!

to get into bootloader, hold down the vol down and power, the home lights will flash (atleast they do when its booting), it will reboot, when you get the htc logo, let go of power button. and now try a stable er version of the rom.

ok, dont do an ota update in cm, you need s-off, which you cant get on the hox+
flash the rom, flash the boot image, boot, reboot into recovery, SIDELOAD gapps and that should work. use cm10 for the moment, as cm11 has an annoying system ui crash loop bug.
Thanks again for your clear and helpful pointers that got me out of a mess, I seem to have figured it out, downloaded the latest CM11 update and extracted boot.img for separate flashing and it all worked, then added gapps and seems working good now (except for dead touch zone from kids dropping it too many times probably!). The OTAs clearly don't work as is and CM probably should update their instructions and how they push major updates that need a new boot.img. Now to work out what to do with my spare phone...!

The phone will boot loop, as the kernal is different to the rom
I rooted my Acer B3-A10 tablet with the latest King Root. I purchased then installed SuperSU Pro and successfully updated the binaries. I wanted to use Chainfire's product and support his efforts. I follow him on XDA. After the SuperSU installation my tablet will not boot. I can get into its recovery mode and into fastboot. ADB does not work in the recovery mode. I have a backup.ab file but can not install it without ADB access. I can not find a factory recovery image to flash. Any suggestions?
I took out my SD card then selected update from external source. Several strange folders were displayed including one that was labelled Do Not Panic. None of them were functional. I still have not determined what I can do next. I loaded the source code for my tablet into Android Studio and created a functional emulated device but I can't transfer it to the tablet.
did you ever find a way to fix this as this has happened to me too.
i rooted with kingroot and installed supersu by way of supersume pro
Sad to say to you guys but supersume pro is not working anymore with the latest devices. the app is no longer updated. lucky it works for me but i used the basic one or the free i mean. Not the pro.
I rooted my Nextbook Ares 11 and now my touch screen dont work like it poorly calibrated can somebody help me fix that need detailed instructions for noobs

I factory reset my tablet many times. This time the factory reset would not work. My file system was corrupted.
Flash your phone and install official stock rom

I couldn't find any Acer B3-A10 firmware. See my other posts regarding firmware / images. When I called Acer to request the firmware, they informed me I had to send the tablet in to get it flashed.

Thank you for the link
I rooted my Acer again then tried to switch to SuperSu using Super-SUMe and now my tablet won't boot. The wipe data / factory reset does not work. The apply update from external storage does not work. Flashing from ADB Fastboot does not work. As a result, I can't use then link above. Any suggestions?
