As a self-professed dummy, I can attribute to how easy an install this was.
Been running it for about 2 weeks now.

(version 3.3 now, woo hoo!)

I read the instructions on another post and watched the video twice before attempting this. Twice I've tried and when I get to typing novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller and hit return nothing happens.
When I tried it the first time and nothing happened I figured I had missed a step or had typed something wrong, but no, when I tried it again and went VERY slowly and made sure I was completing every step the same thing happened. Everything up to this point went just fine.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Same issue here. I checked under "my computer" and it doesn't see the touchpad at this point, though it did previously. I can't figure it out.
I may try on a different computer at some point.
Please let me know if you figure it out.
Thanks

I installed the sdk and then uninstalled and installed just the drivers. Still no love. What ended up working was a reboot to my computer.

My Touchpad is working great on the latest XRON ROM, but my moboot seems to have as a primary choice to boot on WebOS if nothing is selected. (when I did ACMEInstaller command on cmd, it only appears to have installed CWM and Moboot, I had to manually install the XRON ROM.) Is there anyway to change preferences as to the preferred OS to boot on?

If you have Preware installed in webOS, download the application called CyBoot. I modifies the settings for moboot like the default boot option, the "next boot" option (Don't know what this is), and the time delay before automatically booting the selected OS.

I tried on a Windows PC and it would not work. I took it home and tried it on my MBP and it worked flawlessly.
Not to start fanboy war here, but it was a lot easier on my Mac, so if you know someone with a Mac, try it there. I didn't type in a single thing into Terminal. I just cut and paste the command and just dragged and dropped the necessary program and driver into Terminal and hit Enter. Two minutes later, I was at the Android "touch" screen.

I found this version to be the most telling and a NO miss step by step

what if u wanna install the xronified rom instead

If thats the case do everything just the same way but put the xron file instead of the CM7, along with the moboot and cwm files.

Don't forget to rename the Xron file to have 'update-' at the start of the filename.

I can across that video too since I'm obsessively looking up how to flash CM to my TP that just came in today. I'm that nervous type that has to be fully prepared before rooting/flashing something.....lol
EDIT: The video you posted was actually different from the one I found and I like your findings better

Aww....dang...that was one of the primary reasons the wife let me put CM7 on the TP..I did not realize it did not work yet...
Oh well..it is still more than worth it!

Just installed this using his mac version, very simple.

Can you format and do a fresh install?

Is it possible to format your Venue Pro and install Windows 8.1 from a USB stick, giving you a nice fresh install?

Yes you can. I redid my whole tablet with a pro version and it worked just fine. I made a system disk and even reinstalled everything back to stock. My next project is to get it to dule boot with Ubuntu.

Somebody posted on a review that this wasn't possible because Dell hadn't released the touch screen drivers.
I looked at Dell's site, and I see that they have the touch screen firmware - but no mention of drivers. How did you address this?
And were there any tricky situations - or was it as simple as doing the fresh install followed by all the drivers on Dell's site?

MultiROM

Hi there!
So I tried to add SailfishOS as second ROM with MultiROM, but getting stuck on boot.
First thought: kernel not kexec-hardboot patched
Anyone having a hint how to get this done? :/
Thanks in advance!
Ali
EDIT: Didn't flashed the Stock Images first. So maybe wrong bootloader there...? hm... don't know if this will run this way...? :/

i looked.
looks like Sailfish OS is unpacked to /data/.stowaways/sailfishos and another boot.img is flashed
you can not flash boot.img just boot it via fastboot
i.e. flash sailfish os from zip file, next flash only boot.img from CM
next boot it using
Code:
fastboot boot hybris-boot.img
cons is only that you have to be connected to PC while booting

That's actually great information!
I've started to read a little bit about the MultiROM and will try to get a working configuration for SailfishOS today night or tomorrow.
If there isn't anything wrong with their kernel config or something, I should be able to get it to boot.
EDIT: To my current knowledge at least - which isn't much regarding the internals of MultiROM and SailfishOS boot sequence

I tried booting with the hybris-boot. Still hangs at Google logo. It even showed me a pong game when I rebooted it. Will continue to test.
EDIT: It's probably not that easy. Otherwise Jolla would have posted this as a method. There are probably more modifications done within the kernel/ramdisk.
While booting with hybris-boot my PC thinks it's a RNDIS xD
Don't we need a cyanogenmod 10.1.3 kernel that is kexec hardboot patched?

RNDIS is usb network card, you can telnet to phone and see what went wrong.

Can only get a connection refused from putty. Have you been able to boot? And how is your MultiRom set-up? Like how many roms etc.

for me a simple telnet worked, got access to the device..
one issue is that the android /data was mounted, i solved this with a mount --bind /realdata/media/0/multirom/roms/sailfishos/

Okay I got into telnet. Where are you mounting the sailfishos directory to? just to /data?

A crude solution is to install both sailfish and your primary rom through MultiROM, and use the 'Swap ROMS' feature everytime you want to switch. It takes some time to swap roms but it does the job.

Is that MultiRom actually supports Sailfish OS?
I plan to install Sailfish OS using MultiRom. I've currently three Roms ( Android KitKat 4.4.2, FirefoxOS,Ubuntu Saucy). Is that possible to add Sailfish as Fourth or else I've to wipe all existing Roms from Memory?

I don't think multirom is supported yet. It's the only thing keeping from testing this.

Need Help With TWRP For SM-T350

Everytime i Flash TWRP i am stuck with a black screen when i try to enter recovery, i have tried a bunch of versions of it but nothing works
i am using a custom rom thats on Android 9, i was able to install it before this problem occurred:crying:

Its a bootloader problem. Try install stock marshmallow rom then it should work.

Ok that would make sense because my SM-T350 is on 7.1.1 (Nougat) and TWRP works fine.

May I ask what ROM you're using? I am looking for a custom ROM for my SM-T350

Same thing is happening with me, SM-T350 on Nougat 7.1.1 and it black screens when trying to boot into TWRP. ADB shows the device is in recovery mode, though.

cant but into recovery after flashing

i got this error i tried another pc but the same and also tried twrp and another version of orange recovery
if i but into recovery manually i got black screen
please how to fix this??????

Since you've already flashed the recovery, simply boot to recovery manually, no need to try to boot the image (which doesn't seem to work on your device).
