I did go there and used those instructions. and the file that was provided. thats when it all happened. I have since flashed the boot.img from opensource back onto it and it works again. and used kingo root program. so it is showing rooted. but now I see that I am no longer running kitkat 4.4.4 but kitkat 4.4.2. I want to upgrade back but I am having the hardest time finding roms for my tablet. and I notice that so much of the main stuff like google play services take way too much ram, leaving me with barely 200 mb ram left to work with. and its a 1 gb. hmmm and I wanted to change my recovery to clockworkmod but it says my device isnt supported yet. I really am coming against roadblocks to optimizing the tablet. I cant even run my fb games cuz they wont sign into fb. they just keep restarting. grrrr any thoughts or ideas? thanks. also I could never get xfstk to work.

xFSTK downloader
I am trying to follow the tutorial but the xFSTK downloader is not working. It says "Details: No provisioning activities in progress..."
Anyone know what could be causing this issue?
Thanks in advance,

Post a screenshot of your computer showing this message.
turn off device
plug in
hit begin button
press volume up and power
takes like 3-5 seconds and goes as told to?

Hi Perseus,
I am wondering if you know where this thread has been moved thus I could check for more updates. I have the same issue after following this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/development/guide-how-to-root-android-4-4-4-dell-t2918427
Presently my tablet goes black and I can see only "[email protected]:/" on top left.
Thanks!

You can always flash back the original rom 4.4.4

did you manage to get your tab rooted with kingo on 4.4.2.
