Are the devices identical hardware-wise? As first step, extract boot paritition from stock firmware. Try to repack it and make sure it can be booted (flash or boot directly via fastboot). Then try replacing kernel with the one found on Dell Venue 8 7840 Android 5.0 firmware and check if it still can boot (kernel modules won't match, but display driver is usually built into kernel).
i don't know if they are identical. thanks for the ideas. why do i need the new kernel? for drivers? btw i broke ground on USB ,so ibrought it to arepair shop
