Bricked Dell Venue 7 (3740) 3G Tab (2014)

So this is what happened. I successfully rooted my device and installed Link2sd and then i tried to make my launcher8 app as a system app using link2sd and everything worked fine. as soon as i rebooted my device the device only shows dell logo and then a black screen, It's not even a bootloop. what went wrong ? and how do i fix it? I googled a lot but can't find a reliable source to flash the stock Rom package . any help would be great :o

dell venue 7 stock firmware/os image?

as directed from xda-assist,

dell venue 7 3730, it just quit working on me last week, been trying to fix it, tried to use clockwork but it couldnt format "data" so i tried to flash the image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell...o-4-3-t2906002 sadly i now have a paper weight, however, it shows up in intel soc and shows up on xFSTK-Downloader problem is i need the 4 bin files (firmware and os) for the 3730 (wifi only) but the dell "sources" only has the kernal image http://opensource.dell.com/releases/...verTrail_plus/ am i basically hosed here or does some one some where have the stock files?

note: at this point the tablet is "empty" and in "forced download" mode, fastboot and adb are not an option. it needs a reflash as mentioned.


a bit more details on how i wound up here. last week the tablet was working fine, i locked it, went to do other things, came back to find the screen black as youd expect but i could see the back light was on. i attempted to unlock it but it was un responsive. i wound up doing a hard reset.

tried to boot it up as per normal it looked like it was going to do that but got "stuck" on the dell logo for an hour. i did another hard reset and got in to droidboot, selected recovery only to have it do the same thing. i tried usinghttp://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096 and seemed to work except it just sat there with that hat on. after trying to manually issue the commands to enter recovery (and it still getting stuck on the dell logo for over an hour) i gave up for a bit.. then i had a moment of "screw it" figured if it wasnt going to work i might as well run down the battery and toss it.

loaded clockwork through the CWM (i chould note the options where 5 then T3), and unplugged from the pc and walked off... a smidge over an hour later clockwork loaded, HOORAY! i thought, issued "recovery" after what seemed like forever it stated (going from memory here) "formatting \data,,,, unable to mount \data skipping" uh oh,, let it finish any way. only to have the same problem. after googling "unable to mount data" with my model number i ran across the aforementioned thread, flashed the "stock" imagies through fastboot, which seemed to work, but upon reboot i get nothing, no light nothing. however connected to the PC i can hear it connect > disconnect > disconnect. as mentioned if i put it in forced download mode it shows up under intel soc..

so im hoping some one around here has the 4 bin files i need to reflash the firmware/os since ill need to do it through xFSTK.. i "think" dell had them in sources, but a quick search shows some one asked about modifing it on july 7th, and on july 31st the folder in question was modified, so i guess some one at dell didnt like that..

any help would be apreciated, id prefer "none rooted" as i do use a few apps that consider root a "bad word" (i hate that) but at this point ill take what ever i can get.

if youve read this far, thank you! i know im long winded :laugh:
