I read on dell website they are giving 2.3 upgrade but the link seems not to be working
Link not being able to post as im new user

Can any1 let me know how can i download official 2.3 upgrade?

you can upgrade MIUI 2.3.7, CM7 2.3.7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1565517 and GB 2.3.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki...tle=Dell_Venue

There is no dell official upgrade for 2.3?
Im afraid of flashing as i saw some people here ended bricking their venue and does this mean they crapped the phone completely forever?

can i get dell upgrade by dells mobile pc software?

The GB 2.3.3 link is to a build that was released by Dell to Olleh, a Korean cell phone company. If you were on Olleh, it was an official release. We have confirmed loads of that ROM on Venues around the world (including mine), so it does work. CM7 and MIUI ROMs are much better though.

Thanx a lot!
Thanx for the help.

I have just bought this phone 2 days back.
I think i should give it some time before i can go on experimenting with other roms.

The biggest fear to me is what if i end up bricking my phone?

Can i have your gmail/yahoo messenger id? I have experience of changing roms and rooting galaxy y.But i dnt know how to get started here for dell venue.
Some of the terminilogy is beyond my understandings.

Your good support will be appreciated.

My gtalk id is hirenjpadia@gmail.com and yahoo id is hirenjpadia@yahoo.com

There is always a risk that what worked for everyone else won't work for you, but it is a very small risk. Most of the time problems have been tracked down to "failure to follow instructions". Even today when I do something to one of my devices, I read the instructions 3 or 4 times, just to make sure I am not skipping over something important.

To get started, load CWM - The instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1423002, they do work, with one addition. Under the "install instructions", you need to rename the CWM file downloaded to just recovery.img and put it in the same folder as your fastboot files, then when performing step 5 you can type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it works just fine.

Once CWM is loaded (make sure to follow all instructions, to include pressing both volume buttons and power to get into it) then you can flash the Olleh GB update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1416537), CM7, or MIUI (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1565517).

My rule of thumb - read the directions several times before trying something. If it fails, read the directions again, something was probably overlooked or skipped.

I also prefer to keep all correspondence on the XDA site, that way others can gain from the discussion.

i dnt knw why this forum banned my account probably on asking online support from you?
Well i needed to ask a few things.
i read some instructions for loading muli rom and cm7 roms,
sm1 had wrote i need to have gb 2.3 on my venue before i load any of these 2 roms.
Does it mean i have to first load Korean rom 2.3 and then cm7?

I dont want to install korean rom as of now coz i heard it doesnot work well with ussd codes.and i need to use ussd everyday!

By d way i have rooted the phone successfully so now got some confidence thax to u

I don't think you need to have the Olleh ROM on first before MIUI or CM7, just CWM for flashing. As for the Olleh, it works fine, and one of the XDA guys around here posted a fix for the USSd codes, so that can be fixed too. I do prefer CM7, though MIUI is not bad either.

Requirements:

Clockwork Mod installed
Matching pkg flashed beforehand*


Instructions:

Prereqs: Update with the matching PKG
Copy latest base zip to sdcard
Copy latest patch zip to sdcard

I dont understand what this means? what means matching pkg?
base zip i found with stock rom 2.3.
and what this patch.zip is?

Sorry i bothered u a lot!

Noob Guide

As many of us here fear of bricking the fone which we dont want,
Is there a proper and accurate step by step guide to update Stock 2.2 Froyo to

--> Gingerbread
--> CM
-->MIUI

I have seen many guides here.
But as I said I am a total noob to this so chances of screw up are >

Help would be appreciated.

Also would like to know:
For GB mod what launcher does it use? Stock or Vanilla?
Is the battery backup hampered or enhanced?
Are there any effects on HD games and apps after the upgrade?
