[ROM]Stock venue images - Unbricking

---

Introduction:
These are stock rom images of the various venue roms. Unlike the streak, the majority of roms on the venue have never been released as update.pkgs. Without update.pkgs it is not possible to fully restore a venue after bricking it.

The only exception is for korean users, so far 319 (which is a korean rom) is the only update available. Update.pkgs update everything: baseband and all the various firmwares.

These zips only contain the /system folder, the kernel, and the recovery image. It does not update any of the firmwares. If your baseband and your rom version do not match, you will get the 'blinking leds' issue. Which means the soft button leds will blink semi-constantly. The only way to fix this is by using a matching rom.

What this ultimately means is that anyone that updated to 319 cannot migrate away from it until another rom update is released, whenever that is.

These images/zips will allow you to unbrick your device if it was caused by modifying /system. If it was caused by someone not related it will not fix them.

WARNING:

• Do not use if your device already works
• Only install the one matching your baseband:
  • Look at Dell Venue - XDA wiki to find your matching version
• Back up your data before attempting if possible
• If you do not know how to use the command line, find a tutorial on google

Install Instructions:
(This assumes you already know how to use the command prompt on your PC)

• Download Fastboot+ADB.zip and install it
• Download the version matching your baseband:
  • 101:
    • Dump not available
  • 302:
    • stock-V302.zip [Cleaned dump]
  • 303:
    • Dump not available
  • 304:
    • stock-V304.zip [Cleaned dump]
  • 307:

• Flash them with fastboot
  • fastboot flash boot <path to boot.img>
  • fastboot flash recovery <path to recovery.img>

• Factory reset your device

IF YOU BRICK AN ALREADY WORKING VENUE BECAUSE YOU WERE CURIOUS, IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT. DO NOT USE ON A WORKING DEVICE UNLESS YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW TO UNBRICK IT


Notes:

• I am still missing dumps for:
  • 101
  • 303
  • 324
• Verified clean dumps of:
  • 302
  • 304
• Do not link to the untested images, they will be repackaged as they are tested and the links will become invalid
• stock zips are tested images, they are safe to link to
• stock zips are packaged as nandroid updates. They will work fine with fastboot or nandroid (ignoring the fact a custom recovery is not yet available)

I volunteered

bump, still looking for more testers

I'll give it a shot.

Would love to help, but I am a newb. And I have no programming type skills. I wish you guys luck. Would love to do some overclocking, and custom roms.... I miss my nexus s.

Just got my venue from Dell service center. I erased my system partition while I was experimenting with it.... and Dell guys fixed it by re-flashing it..... Plz upload your Rom, ill try it if something goes wrong ill go the service center.....

This worked for me just now. I had bricked my venue by accidentally factory resetting, with the dell stage apk removed. I spent hours just trying to get the right person @ dell, long story. When it rebooted after a factory reset, I could unlock the phone, but the ui would not load. By trying to fix it throughout the day, I made it worse where it would only loop on the dell logo. I just figured out how to follow the instructions, posted above, and it booted back up with the stage ui MANY THANKS..

What baseband version do you have?

Under Baseband version it states:
GTOUB1A130730-US
