I have a Dell Venue 7 3730 which is currently at 4.3. I would like to get it to at least version 5 in order to run certain apps I need. I cannot update the OS via OTA because I keep getting verification problem when trying to install. Can anyone tell me why I'm getting a verification problem? Is there an image of lollipop or higher I can download from somewhere that will be compatible with my device? This tablet is worthless to me at it's current OS version so I don't mind taking risks with flashing the ROM.

Read this post (click on the "Show" button and then on the second "Show" button that pops up). The post is hidden because the author is re-working his program. The new version for complete re-flashing is not complete yet, so you'll need to use the hidden older version.
Following that will get you back to Dell 1.16. You have to install the 1.25 update via the same method (attempting to OTA it will give you an "Error" dead Android during the update process). Once you're at 1.25 via this tool you can do a normal OTA to 1.33 (the latest).
I've done this on a number of Wifi-only Venue 8's. If yours is a 3G/WiFi model, you may lose 3G - I'm not sure.
Hello my friends,
I have a simple question. how can I totally flash my device.
I bought a dell venue 8 3840 Android 4.4.4 in China but the stock or Ota(the image or whatever) is for Chinese costumers so its really restricted. you cannot even install apps like google services and youtube,etc and its full with many Chinese markets and apps.
so If anyone can redirect me to any link of forum or somewhere I can follow the instructions for installing a totally new image maybe the american one or whatever...thank you in advance.
Some information of my device:
Dell venue 8 3840
regulatory model name:t02D
Android version:4.4.4
ifwi version:0005.2233
software version: venue8 3840_v2.10_141224-nomodem

The 4.4.4 image is out there except I'm not sure how to flash it. What I would do is download Dell's document HERE, follow the instructions re UNBRICKING. The tab will be returned to 4.4.2 US, then locate the OTA after boot, download and install it automatically.
One quick thing ... if you have WiFi only, make sure you get the A150 version. The A195 is for WiFi/LTE.
Major props to @jeffreycentex for taking the time to make this available

All,
One of Dell's shortcomings with their new Venue is that they do not readily provide access to their Android builds for reinstall. As you tweak the system, there is always that possibility for the system to encounter an irreparable state.

I am also working on a general thread to compile the 7840 work that we have all done thus far. Volunteers are appreciated.
The more traffic we build around the 7840, the greater the likelihood that the gods of XDA forum administration will give us our own sub-forum
Thanks!

This Exactly Please!!!
3741 files are now available at dell's opensource.
rooted boot.img flashbiosv41Root.zip, kernel and more for those that have this tablet.
http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_7_3741_Baytrail/developer-edition/
Venue 10 5050 Baytrail-CR folder is up but empty.
This source finally gives us the isu , it boggles my mind why they have made this an available option for every Intel Android tablet Dell has made except the Venue 7 3730?

I know, I check their opensource weekly, expecting to see a 3730 updated to allow unlocking the bootloader, this tablet is well out of warranty, and every other intel dell has allowes unlocking bootloader.

Has anyone got a root method to work on a Dell Venue 10 7000?
There has been success with the Venue 8 7000 using this package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60770086&postcount=352
It has four "trigger" options, and the one working for 5.0 is T4. You could give it a try, but it is possibly a risky thing to do while we don't have any system-recovery type files from Dell.
EDIT: If that works, you may also need the SuperSU installer zip on an external SD card.
That method does not work for the venue 10 7040 w/lolli 5.1 for the love of god will somebody please free this device. I rooted my pixel c straight outta the box and my venue sits with no su:/
I'd be willing to try stuff on my venue. With the easy unlock maybe it will encourage some devs to work on a rom.
