The following steps should unbrick your Dell Venue pro in most cases (this will not unbrick your phone if you updated the touch screen firmware via the EM app). You can do this at your own risk. I strongly suggest calling or e-mailing Dell Mobility Support before doing this. If your phone is out of warranty, you replaced the SD card, or did something else really silly to it then this might be your only option. You will lose all data on your phone with this method. Your contacts should be backed up on Live/Hotmail/Facebook/Twitter/Etc. and your images on SkyDrive. Everything else will be wiped. You phone will be wiped back to Version 7704 (or what we had when the phone launched back in October of 2010).
The following instructions are for Windows-based machines. There might be a similar utility for Mac’s but I have no way to find out. You are on your own if you have a Mac.
Unplug your DVP, Remove the battery.
If you replaced your SD card (and voided the warranty in the process) please insert your stock SD card at this time. If you never touched your SD card then you can obviously skip this step.
If your phone already has the stock SD card in it, please wait 10 seconds, and put the battery back in. You may put the cover back on as well if you like.
Now we are going to enter the boot loader (this is how your bricked phone can receive the FFU file) by holding the volume down (-), camera, and then power buttons. DO NOT RELEASE THESE until you see the image of a phone, USB cable, and laptop.
Connect your Dell Venue Pro to your computer with the USB cable that came with the phone or one that has the same or higher specs. I have seen it take up to 10 minutes for the phone to be recognized by your computer. If after 10 minutes your phone hasn’t connected, try another USB port and/or cable.
While your computer is installing the drivers/connecting to your phone download the following file and extract it.
http://www.multiupload.com/5YT27EHLZV
VenuePro_flash_GLEOS2A_US_TMO_SIGNED_SWV0105_LP0030_RV001_RETAIL.zip (138.7 MB)
While this is downloading, close Zune if it is not already closed as it takes a few seconds for it to really unload from memory.
Once you think your phone has been connected, open up command prompt (you may need to start it in admin mode depending on your security settings) by typing “cmd” in the start menu or going start -> run and entering “cmd”.
Change directory to “C:\program files\zune\” by typing “cd C:\program files\zune\” and hitting enter
Then type “UpdateWp /list” and your phone should show up there. If it hasn’t be patient and read step 3 again.
If your phone is listed (it should be) and your download is done and extracted, copy the VenuePro_flash_GLEOS2A_US_TMO_SIGNED_SWV0105_LP0030_RV001_RETAIL.ffu file over to the” C:\program files\zune\” directory. You may wish to rename this file before copying it over to something shorter if you wish for the next part.
Now back in the command prompt window type “updatewp /ffu VenuePro_flash_GLEOS2A_US_TMO_SIGNED_SWV0105_LP0030_RV001_RETAIL.ffu”. If you did not rename the FFU file you can type Venue and then hit tab to auto complete the name otherwise enter the name of the FFU file you renamed.
Hit enter and DO NOT unplug the phone. This process can take anywhere between 60 seconds and 10 minutes.
This should work and bring you back to the stock state. If it does not you can retry this a few more times but if after 2 or 3 times it does not work then you need to contact Dell as your phone is royally screwed.
You can now re-open Zune, pair your device, and update all the way back to Mango (this could take up to an hour).
Now I wonder if there is a way to edit that ffu file ...

That would be nice
I have a question:
My phone told me:
So I tried many of my backup (first boot,Nodo and mango beta backup) to restore it and the ffu backup file but my phone boot in 20mins and no access to EM or any other application but I have an home screen...
Can you tell me if I try to replace my sd card and flash with the ffu i can retreive a working phone?
(Dell doesn't respond to my mails)
There are other threads already dedicated to replacing the sd card.
'Then type “UpdateWp /list” and your phone should show up there. If it hasn’t be patient and read step 3 again'
I tried entering that but it said 'updatewp /list' is not a recognized as an internal or external, operable program or batch file.' Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've tried it on two different laptops.
Please reply as soon as possible

This arises from a previous installation of Windows Phone Support Tool. You have to uninstall it and then install/reinstall the file found in this link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PL7H6FKJ) and then I copied the files in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262471 to the Zune Directory.

Hello!
DVP restored, upgraded to the latest version. But phone does not see MicroSD HC 32Gb Class 10. Before that, everything worked fine. Now available in 32 Gb only 400 Mb: (
Put on the stock card 8Gb Class 4 - worked. But ...
Several times already rolling away in 7004, updated again - anyway, just out of 32Gb 400Mb ...
EM Test says SD Card - not installing, but the DVP should not run without the card!
Please, help me again...
DVP really work without a memory card But I do not need. So it does not work 32Gb ...
Seems Megaupload site has been taken down by the US Gov
Any other links for the Venu Flash File
Sorry guys, I can't seem to find another version of the first link I listed. I deleted mine unless someone can reupload it. The only suggestion I have is to try and check this link (http://www.multiupload.com/EQK2RPH3P6) file for the 'updatewp.exe', which should install 'Windows Phone Engineer Flashing Tool'. Why oh why did they shut down Megaupload, when it also had its legitimate reasons as well. But I can't blame them or agree with what those Pro-SOPA and PIPA are trying to do. There are always two sides to every story I suppose.
what was the name of the file you said that has to be uninstalled / reinstalled

Toshiba just replies : no this software and the other asked doesn't run on G500.
So i have to help myself to get the most out of the misery.
On the phone is WM5 with AKU 3.2
Does someone have the files gwes.exe and gwes.exe.0407.mui from another WM5 release and can upload them.
How can i replace them? Due to the fact that gwes is running in the background i can't delete or rename it.
Also the files in the windows dirctory are protected.

Hi,
I don't know what you can do replacing such files, ( I think you must first make a dump of the rom, reconstruct it with the new files and then repack an flash again ) anyway you can try to extract gwes.exe and gwes.exe.0407.mui from the localized emulator on Microsoft web site... search with google for that if you don't have the link, I don't remember it now...
Really hope this help
Do you try to do a hardreset?
Surely you could use pput from ITSUTILS to drop the replacement files in, and then do a soft reset?
As for the files themselves, you'll just have to hope someone sends them to you
a majority of these errors was not caused by gwes.exe itself, i think. if you installed any software recently, uninstall them and try again

Don't know further, i have no ideas, maybe you guys

gwes.exe is device dependant, so your phone wil never work with another device's version.

This is your bootloader menu. All devices have some version of it.
Though all manufacturers put an option to upgrade in to their devices (just in case and for internal test purposes) few bother actually releasing updates.
There is no way to just replace gwes.exe and have the system working. What you need is a whole new ROM, so unless you can find someone cooking one I guess you are out of luck.
Thanks levenum,
i agree, there is no way just replacing it.
Just spoke to Toshiba support.
I asked for a hardware reset -> he searched and searched -> and told me "on this phone no way to do a hardware reset"
I ask myself WHO is working on toshiba support?
Why couldn't he say: press "0" + power on and then press 7
Does somebody know how to backup the rom e.g. on sd-card.
Flashing from sd card is possible with * + power on, but i don't know the filename the phone is requiring, and dont have one. Maybe after rom-dump the file will be known.
Toshiba also upgrades the G900 modell only by sending it in. There is no rom-update on the net. Maybe if someone tries (and knows) to backup the G900 rom maybe there is a chance to kook to WM6 for the G500.

I have a HTC ELF 0300 it is stucking in the tri colour screen with the following
IPL: 2.26.0002
SPL:2.28.0000
i have followed the advice i found on this forum of flashing the ROM but when i try the rom update utility it comes up with error 270 about the image also i tried the mtty process but it wont open the usb port
i tried flashing the SD Card but it then says "Invalid Certificate"
i'm a total loss and totally stuck..
any help appricated
Have you really read this sticky thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721 before flashing ?
Have you used "search" function with f.e. "stuck in bootloader" before posting ?
If not, please do and you'll find very useful solutions
i have read the theads over and over again and finally worked out mtty and worked out my phone is
elf0300
tmob050
it's still in tri colour mode yet i cant find a rom for it...
i tried the nbh file flashing to the memory card
but no luck....
heelllp
Do you know if you have Elf or Elfin?
It is essential for flashing original Rom Elf: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2
Elfin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045051&postcount=1
i haave an elf (p3450) well thats what it says on my box
i cant find the orginal rom for this and i'm totally stuck
any help is greatrully recived
also i have tried CID unlocking it so i can put custom roms on it but my computer wont active sync when the phone is connected through the USB port...
Also, what did you do to get your phone stuck in bootloader in the first place?
my brother did it to my phone before i'd even had chance to use it , and i don't know what he did.....sorry x
Try this and follow the instructions exactly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347700 and report pls
i tried this yesterday at first when i pressed enter i didnt get >cmd (which is what happening now)
then when i do get it eventually after many tries it sasys
cmd55 or something failed
and stays on 0% on a gray screen
sorry if i sound stupiud.
Ok
First you connect your device, then right click on active sync icon on your computer, chose connection settings and change according to the instructions then continue with mtty.exe
i have done this
when i press enter i dont get anything come up....
yesterday i managed to get it up though and just stayed gray screen at 0%
Try again a few times making sure you didn't overlook any detail.
I just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3395787&postcount=155 possibly mtty version doesn't work
2- Another possibility is unbricker rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446242
3- gold card method (the links are dead so you should pm Dsixda)
Flash from the SD card:
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem, complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
1. Format microSD card from your computer.
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (the bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait.
Will try now and keep u updated
manny thanks x
Follow the instructions until you get cmd only, then return to the tutorial to continue
Good luck
Just an update
i downloaded the nbh file you sugested and tried both
1) flashing from the SD card by renaming file - when i do this is says checking sd contents then goes back to my bootlooder screen
2) running the romupdateutility.exe with the nbh file in the same folder it goes through then i get error 294 incorrect vender
i am unable to pm Dsixda about the gold card
i have no idea what else to try
ps: when running mtty i still get a gray screen then the bootloader screen.
Sorry to hear this, I'm out of ideas. Just some details not to miss:
try a hard reset
writing "ELF0IMG.nbh" (elf zero img and not elf o img)
google for mtty and download a few versions
Wait for an answer from Dsixda for gold card if you can't find your original rom
Creating your GoldCard
I don't remember well the procedure but you can try the following:
If you have access to a working pda or a working GPS device - PNA which is powered by WM (even modified) then you have to follow these steps:
Download this package and save it in your C:\ drive.
Run it.
(it will extract all the necessary files in C:\itsutilsbin (folder) and it will start the setup of Perl)
When the Perl - installation is finished run Perl Package Manager from Windows Start Menu.
Add repositories.
Name: itsme
Location: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ppm
Name: theoryx
Location: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.xml
(HowTo: run Preferences from the Perl Package Manager menu and switch to the repository tab)
After database synchronization install these packages:
Crypt-DES
XdaDevelopers-NbfUtils
(HowTo: at the main window of Perl Package manager find those packages, mark them for install (the icon with green plus, next to the search bar) and run marked action(green arrow icon))
Format the sd card(FAT32) and insert it in a working pda.
Connect the working pda to the pc , wait to sync and run psdread.bat from C:\itsutilsbin.
Find an official rom from here with a ModelID which matches your device's one
Example: If your pda is an Elfin and you have ModelID ELF030000 then get the below rom from that thread.
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BL UE_Ship.exe (T-MOBILE)
Device: ELF030000
CID: T-MOB003
Version: 2.26.114.3
Language: NLD
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the sd card.
Fully charge your battery, insert the sd card to your pda, enter bootloader and flash from memory card
(Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume down button)).
If everything went ok then you can use a HardSPL or a USPL to CID Unlock your phone and update the rom with one of your choice.
If you don't have a working pda use a card reader - Ubuntu (even from a LiveCD) and QMAT are required
Regards!
i don't have a working pda to use :-( the only pda i have is my bricked one :-(

Dsixda and all the members who worked on this had done a great job and it's really annoying that all their work was lost.
Ok guys...This is what i did to Unlock succesfully my WP7-HD2 using Chevron..
These are the steps i made and it worked just fine and i deployed my apps succesfully on my device:
0.5)Type regedit in start/Run and find this key...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone \ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
I personally deleted this key and remade it... It's a 32 bit Dword value..Right click, New, Dword value... add this in Data Value -> 69C5
and press ok! Rename the file to "DeviceReg" without the quotes.
1) Open Notepad with Administrative rights using right click and open as Administrator. Go to FILE/OPEN and paste this on the search bar
i.For Windows NT and Windows 2000
a.C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc
AND
ii.Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7
a.C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
2)Double click Hosts file...
It should open in Notepad..
3)At the end of the page you will see 192.168.10.1 Windows Phone (or something like that)...Remove this and save the file by pressing FILE/SAVE..
It should be saved just fine..
4)Plug your phone to usb and go to device manager..
Uninstall: Windows Phone usb from there and unplug the phone..
5)Restart the computer.........
6)Make sure you have Windows Updates enabled... When you plug the phone in Windows should say that usb device doesn't work and you need to isntall the drivers... Press Install and wait....
7)Drivers should be installed from Microsoft...Now go to Zune and sync the device...
8)Make sure you isntall the Cetification to your device via email!
Open Chevron, check both boxes and press Unlock...You are done...
9)Open Market place from PC and download something....Check the 3 boxes and Press deploy..It should now say "connecting with phone" and after that "sending file"
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Results may vary but it worked for me!
Special thanks to member "eried" for his time yesterday!
Can't get past 8.
Chevron can't connect: Oh oh message. Before Chevron did start but could not connect while trying to unlock again.
Even now the phone is off flight mode, zune is telling that the phone has no internet while the phone have internet.
Had everything working but after update to 7004 by zune nothing is working anymore. Tried everything i read and have much experience with modding devices.
As i told the results may very...
I also know about modding devices since my Sony Ericsson W800 and all Sony devices i owned after it and Iphone which i sold before 4 months to get my HD2...
Anw...I had strange problems with Chevron... I unlocked it like 4 times and after that it says can't connect with my device.. Also Market places didn't work in the first place... Now with this guide i made i succesfully unlocked my device and deployed 5 apps already on my phone..
And also try this on your pc:
Type regedit in start/Run and find this key... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone \ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
I personally deleted this key and remade it... It's a 32 bit Dword value..Right click, New, Dword value... add this in Data Value -> 69C5

When you are done with this try again the guide from the begining!
ok, thanks for your help, had the registerkey already checked, did your workaround again but stuck by 8. Chevron Oops...
Thanks anyway
Hello there,
my "new" Venue Pro arrived yesterday and i just started to test it.
It had a very old firmware, not even mango ... so i startet updates by zune.
After the third update (for wlan problems, i think it was the "latest" wp7 update) i get an error .... so i restartet the phone an tried again, no success.
I read a lot, not even the microsot update tool could help. So i startet the recover in zune over settings, updates.
The update startet and now i always get an error by 61%. I read a lot again, i even tried to backup it from another comuter (copied image %appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft Phone Update) but the same problem.
So, my "new" phone doesent start any more ... it just loads to the bootloader ...
I tried to get any offiziel firmware to flash the device to "standard" but i seams hat MS dont want this.
I knew a little bit about flashing WM6 devices (HSPL & custom fw) but with WP7 devices i dont really understand what to do in this situation.
I hope you can help me! Can i download the dell firmeware someware to recover the phone? maybe someone have a "personal recover firmware" for me?
Thx
If your device can load into download mode (that you called "bootloader") it can be restored to 7004 T-mobile branded version and later update to 7720 via Zune. This is only one available firmware on the public.
Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411300
THX!
I will try ... downloading ...
So, i downloaded VenuePro_flash_GLEOS2A_US_TMO_SIGNED_SWV0105_LP0030_RV001_RETAIL.ffu and thought, everthing is getting fine.
But i had no idea how i can install this!
I´m reading hours and hours, tried to use UpdateWP.exe (crash on 2 computers, where NO MS Support tools are installed), Windows_Phone_7_Backupv1.9, MangoB2-ZuneClient, Zune 4.7 .... no success.
Could sombody please tell me, how i can install this on Windows 7 x64? I dont know what to do ...
I get this message when i try to updatewp it;

As i said before, there is no (more) Microsoft Update Software on my computer and on the second there never was it.
Mybe i could handle it with the "MangoB2 Updater" .... but i cant download this anywhere.
I really have no luck :-(
Do not panic yet. You have different versionsof zune or updatewp /missing files
Deinstall everything related to zune.DONT TOUCH EVERYTHING RELATED TO MS SUPPORT TOOLS, IF ITS INSTALLED IT DOESNT INFLUE ON PROCESS!!!
Install Net framework 3.5, 4;
Install Zune(take it from zune.net);
Install wp7 updatetool from zip attached here here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415 with proper x64 file.
Follow those steps after connecting device in download mode:
Extract command prompt to C:\program files\zune\
go to directory to “C:\program files\zune\ and run Command prompt. Type in : “UpdateWp /list” and your phone should show up there.
If your phone is listed (it should be) and your download is done and extracted, copy the VenuePro_flash_GLEOS2A_US_TMO_SIGNED_SWV0105_LP003 0_RV001_RETAIL.ffu file over to the” C:\program files\zune\” directory.
Type in: “updatewp /ffu VenuePro_flash_GLEOS2A_US_TMO_SIGNED_SWV0105_LP003 0_RV001_RETAIL.ffu” enter, update should start.
YES IT WORKS!
Great, now i can start my dell venue pro again and even updating is functional.
But why can´t i change the display language? I tought i´m able to change the display language in this roms? In all WP7 phones (in germany) i could change the language at the first start (and after a reset).
*argh!*
On this site i found language packs, but that is a little bit ... argh?!

so it´s over ... i send the phone back ...
Thank u very much 4 helping.
I got a Venue Pro yesterday. I purchased it on eBay. Hooked it up to perform updates and I couldn't. I constantly get error code 80070002
I have tried it now on two PCs on two different networks, one running Win 7 and the other running Win 8. I have looked on the net but can't really find anything helpful.
Anyway, never having had the phone before I found it odd that it came with a call and message history. Even after I reset the phone it still has a history, pictures of people from Facebook with pictures that are obviously professional shots. All messages are from people each other how great their new Windows phone is.
Also, if I don't use the phone for a couple of minutes it starts a phone demo video/slide show. I am now thinking I have a demo OS even though I can make calls and surf the net. Current OS is 7.0.7004.0
What can I do to totally wipe this phone and start from blank?
Thanks
You'll probably have to follow the instructions in "How to unbrick a Dell Venue Pro." No way to change a demo ROM into a retail ROM. You need to flash the retail ROM and start over.
If you still have the original rom installed on it, could you:
run the emapp tool and write down the contents of what it has?
As far as dell is concerned, I dont believe they normally make demo specific roms.
But that is in reference to their android devices and MS might have had them make an exception for the VP (and it's WP7)
TheManii has a thread over here where he's collecting this data.

Thanks to all who replied. I got it fixed. It was indeed some weird demo ROM or setting but its all cleared up now. I used the unbricking thread listed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411300
and downloaded the ROM from here

I got the UpdateWP too from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262471
Only thing to note is to extract the UpdateWP folder and put both files in to the Zune directory on your PC.
After that everything went relatively smoothly. It took 2 or 3 tries to get the Retail ROM to take and from there the phone updated perfectly until Mango. It failed but I just disconnected USB and reconnected and it ran the update.
Thanks again
Same boat

Hi, I just got a phone in the same conditions you have had mention(demo mode), and I thought I have done and taken the same steps to flash my device, but with not avail, the skydrive file has been removed, and I was wondering if you maybe still have them(the files) somewhere and if I could "borrow" them. I mean I think I have the right ROM and the UpgardeWp, but maybe they are the wrong ones, because is NOT working for me.
Thank you very much and I hope you have a fantastic evening.

*UPDATE* never mind, I was able to do a proper flash, and now I have a good working Windows Phone...

Hi
I am trying to do the same thing. But when I click the sky drive link to download the rom , there is nothing there. It asks me to login to windows live and thats it. Do you still have this rom downloaded and can you email it to me? OR where can I find this rom? Plz help.
In the middle of the "how to unbrick your dell venue pro" the rom is posted, on some russian download site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22415484&postcount=35
That file is hosted on my skydrive, and it is still available. It may be asking you to log in to your windows live account to access it. Not sure.
I got it ! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First thing I'd do is do a soft reset if you just flashed the stock 7004 ROM.
Windows Phone > Settings > About > Reset your phone.
Then, just a guess -- go into Zune Desktop > Settings > Phone > Sync Options > [Forget this phone]
Then plug the phone again and see if it lets you set it up as a new device, with update check.
If this doesn't work, the next thing I'd try is moving to another Windows machine, installing a fresh copy of Zune Desktop, and seeing if it will let you update using that. You could also use a Windows installation in virtualization using virtualbox, or an installation on another partition if you are an advanced user.
Basic troubleshooting. Just floating ideas.
Nothing worked

If you've also tried doing the soft reset as I mentioned, you may want to see if you can use the cab sender method to update to one of the nodo builds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
A couple quick questions --
Was this your phone and had it been working previously, or was it in this "connect to PC screen" state when you got it?
Can you think of anything you might have done to cause it to stop working?
Is it the AT&T, T-Mobile, or EU/International version?
Did you use a non-english language cab?

1. yes, i tried a soft reset(resetting the phone from settings->about phone->reset phone) even also perform a soft reset without SD card and try to update from zune without SD card but still getting same restoration error.
i already tried all options cab sender, mangoforall 0.2 etc/ update and restore from command promt:
getting below error everytime whenever i tried to perform any thing from command promt(.bat) :
Error: Exception from HRESULT: 0x801812C0
Call stack:

2. this is not my phone i got it in a non working state showing "SD card not working".. then i performed steps mentioned in "how to unbrick DVP". after that i got a working DVP.
3. It is a T-mobile DVP and sim unlock by unlock code provided by dell.
4. It is on 7004 Tmobile ffu no cab update til now, as i am not able to send any cab via cab sender.
Note: i don't have any previous back-up of this mobile and not sure wheather the SD card is original or not.
