Looking for stock rom info!

Greetings venue users!
I'm the primary maintainer of the streak5 wiki page and I was wondering why there's no venue page.
I'm interested in laying down the foundation and would like to know what rom versions were previously released.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak#Official
is what i would like to create for the venue with help.
Here's a quick checklist of what I need (in no particular order)
Your rom version:
(How to find: check your phone's baseband version, it should be like GTOUB1A1xxxyy, where xxx is the version and yy is the carrier
Your build number:
Previously released pkgs:
(these are the actual updates and contain everything nesscerry)
Nandroid dump:
(if the version is not available as a pkg)
Having everything saved will make it much easier for past and future updates and unbricking. As I do not own a venue I rely on you to help me help you help yourself.
As I get more information, and hopefully pkgs, I will mirror them all on DJ_Steve's website for all to use (DJ_Steve is the primary custom rom cook for the streak5 and streak7)
Note: of course if you see that your version is already posted, a repost is not nesscerry, all I need is a single post for each unique version.
So far I have:
12837
12853 303 14
13040
13505 307 30
15367 319 14 http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Thunder_319_0_14.pkg

[Q]Rooting and updating android GT-19100P with baseband PBVKI2[/Q]

Hello,
I am well aware that you have a huge database full of threads and posts. I have been searching for over a week now to learn how to do a variety of things on my new smartphone. Unfortunately I've been unable to find what I've been looking for, anywhere. I've found vague details in a merge of threads - and frankly it's just scaring me more than anything. I feel like the best way of achieving a safe, good outcome, is by supplying you with specifics and requesting that someone helps me. It would mean a lot to me.
Phone specs
Model number: GT-19100P
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100PBVKI2
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
What I'm trying to achieve
Root my phone
Update the version of android on the phone to v4.1.2 (new user, so I can't put links, but go to: Samsung Updates -> Select device -> GT-19100P (Galaxy S 2) -> Look at the updates listed there).
I'm not sure I should list all of the things I've attempted to do, so I won't - but what I'm basically asking is: can someone please give me really simple steps and links as to how I can do this? Thank you so much.

1000$ for kernal mod

Hey all i am looking to make a small modification to the kernal on the 2.3.5 so that in can be installed on a spreadtrum chipset "feature phone" if any one can help please message me .. as I said I am willing to pay up to 1k
Not gonna happen. 2.3.5 was never an official android build and if there was no OS for that device you won't have any working drivers at all for it so can't build a kernel for it.

Knock-Off Samsung Clone S22 Ultra

Recently my Dad bought a phone from Aliexpress that had device specifications that sounded great for what the price of the phone was. It seemed too good to be true however we decided to get it and see what it's like. Looking at the phone the specs are what the product page said it would be however the custom Android ROM installed on the device sucks. I really want to change it however I understand if this is not possible due to it being a knock-off phone that probably has highly specific hardware components.
I've managed to enable OEM Unlocking, and USB debugging.
I'm very new to Android custom ROM installing so I thought I'd ask if anyone can point me in a direction to achieve putting a custom ROM on the phone.

I bought the same phone on aliexpress. This is garbage, fake. The seller is a fraud. Firmware cannot be installed on such a phone. Watch the video
Hi i have also purchased this same device fake china Samsung s22+ ultra, i checked the device with benchmark and it was showing as Alps, then also discovered that it is an MTK 6580 DEVICE. I thought of an idea to flash the device with the original Samsung rom but somehow i have bricked it and won't turn on anymore and i cant find the right rom for it as the name of the device is not showing up with a rom when I do a search online. although it does show up with a scatter file. can anyone help with this?
