hi everyone

and first, thx to crzyruski ^^

i'm here cause of his tutorial linked in his sig (good thing ^^) :)

dunno if i'll help but i gonna post my historic with my phone, perhaps it can help for futur or even for statistics :)

First i'm french so sry for language mistakes ^^

I've receive a Sciphone N21, its a present so dunno from where it come. So what is official or not. I can confirm the package and the inside who is exactly the same than an official one.

I know really nothing in phone, developers, java, etc.

I just know how to read tutorials and how to use google ^_^

So i only know your tutorial, dunno how to save my phone to make a recovery or such things to avoid phone brick T-T

my phone was with :

- CUPCAKE.eng.long.20090925.190338.r1789

but didnt have google aps like market 1st, and it's v1.5 but i see 1.6 and 2 on the net.

i've found TSTL1 on General Mobile Website with :

-CUPCAKE.eng.long.20090826.172316.r1502

more old but "official" so perhaps others better fonction

-1st step so, nubing update to this older realase

>> i fail. it reboot with GM logo and nothing else, no reset possible. XD

- 2nd step, searching the error, i find this forum (and this one but in spanish !)

- So i follow noobly the steps =)

>> 1st, new recovery, no indication to confirm it worked well. Try 2 times and pass next step.

>> 2nd, rooted donut, worked well, more than well cause reboot directly in french with AZERTY.

>> 3rd, google apps, worked well after an infinite auto-reboot, removed battery and reset factory ^^ like the typs i've choose "com.android.sdksetup"

HAPPY END.

i can use all programs, dl on market, use radio and everything without bugs (until now ^^)

so very good tutorial :)

i wish i wont miss futur update of all this work ^^
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
Not possible to brick yet ;) So you are safe. Backing up personal data is a good idea though.

In the future we hope for the best backup solution: NANDROID :D

Current indication says that flashing Bootloader will brick, and this has never been recommended for this phone by anyone :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] javlada:
Hi,

I'm sorry I haven't gone through the whole topic since it has 16 pages.

I would like to ask you, if anyone of you managed to get an external GPS working with you DSTL1. I already read some information regarding it, but I'm not sure if I understood it correctly.

Is it possible to connect an external GPS receiver to my DSTL1 if I upgraded to 1.6 and used the android-bluetooth API?

I tried a bluetooth keyboard (with HID interface) but it didn't work. Is it the same problem as with GPS (missing bluetooth API)?

Also there seems to be a significant improvement regarding bluetooth in Android 2.0. Is there any chance that we will be able to upgrade to the new version? If there are sources available, what can stop it - drivers, HW requirements, anything else?

Sorry for these very basic questions. I'm not a technical noob, but I didn't have any experiences with Android and smartphones generally, before I got my DSTL1.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asunde:
One question:

Will installation of crzyruski-DSTL1_Donut_Test_rooted-v1.00 allow me to install applications to the SD card instead of only to the internal memory?

Arild.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
The ROM does not automatically do apps2sd, but that does not mean it is not possible. There are others way to accomplish this.

I was able to partition my SD Card to have SWAP & EXT2 & FAT32. This is a step towards apps2sd, but I have not completed my attempt for this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blacline:
It's the sticker inside my sciphone N21, you can see "general mobile" and "DSTL1".
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
You mean under the permanent marker? GOOD FIND! :D

Attached is mine (DSTL1)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacoge:
Yes, me too.

A close inspection confirm this

We're all in the same boat.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Yotitchy:
hmmm its not new that N21 is DSTL1 without the brand O_o

i got a question crzyruski, certainly idiot one, but i wanna know XD

thx to you, cause 1.6>1.5 ok

but now what about the 2.0 ? O_o

it's already realize ?

> if yes, soon another tutorial ? ^^

> if no, when will it be ? And will you be there to allow us to update our phone ? ^^

and sry but last ask

- for N21 users, will we be always forced to use unnoficial update ? wont we be able to simply download the new update on android.com then simply apply ?

this asks could look silly for ones who know how it works, but sry me i dont know :/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dnfm:
I too own an N21. Running 1.6 rooted.

Some interesting things I've noticed so far: (Just for other people to reference)

- None of the conventional methods of keeping wifi on seem to work. The advanced options under wireless do not contain an option to keep wireless on when the phone is sleeping, and programs like wifi lock don't seem to work at all.

- Occasionally the wireless disconnects (for example because of sleep mode), and reconnecting becomes impossible. You can press 'connect' as many times as you want, it won't connect. The only fix appears to be to disable wifi and re-enable it entirely.

- Using the phone's a2dp appears to cause weird skipping/speed change issues. I haven't yet checked to see if its related to which mp3 player I'm using and/or bitrate/size/etc.

- Bluetooth phone calls sound like hell. They clip like crazy. It sounds as though I've turned them up *way* too high, although they're not. Other phones on my bluetooth device sound just fine.

- The phone occasionally freezes up.. this seems to be temporary though, as it fixes itself and goes back to normal in 5-6 seconds or so.

For $250 shipped to my front door, I can't complain. All the issues I can deal with and I presume will be fixed with an official release in the not-so-distant uture.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sfabris:
Well, I'm a sort of an N21 owner. "Sort of" because my N21 was faulty and is now coming back to China.

I'll tell you if I don't complain about the 250 usd when all this will be positevelly solved.

Regarding future offficial release, I would be impressed if Sciphone will ever release anything. Sciphone have never released any firmware update for any of their mobile. I doubt they are changing this attitude now.

ciao

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dnfm:
By official I meant General Mobile's DSTL1 release.

that

cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/mtd3.img

so I just used other method and hope the file is one which you are looking for

http://hotfile.com/dl/18507941/39985f0/system-brand-new-N21.zip.html
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
Something tells me we will first have to hack GM's DSTL1 updates in order to push to N21. No big deal though, just FYI :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
If not root, did you use the custom recovery image?

If not, I would love to know what other method you used to obtain.

Please share :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ryszon:
its not a image but manually copied all files and push through the terminal to the sd card and then copy system folder to the pc, hope that was good way to do this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] arnouf:
hi,

i'm using now your image with Donut...But, I'm trying to compile for Eclair...

Some question :

- where do you find drivers

- can you provide to me your different mk files ?

Best regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
I'm sorry to say, but this is not a good way to do this.

I will not say the it may not prove to be useful, but a regular cp command will not give us a full copy... I do thank you for your effort though.

You may obtain root in Recovery mode and produce the backups this way. Otherwise, thank you for your attempts, hopefully we may make use of it :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
You are not the only person interested in this, I suggest you visit the Development Forum and search for developing for the DSTL1 / N21

Please note that I do not have an source material for 1.6 unofficial. I simply rooted and shared it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] arnouf:
Thx for your answer
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sfabris:
For now, from Eclair source tree you can't get a full working enviroment neither for the ADEV / HTC Dream etc: in the source tree lots of proprietary code is missing.

What *could* be achieved for the DSTL1 / N21 is a Donut build... If... Let's discuss about this on Development Forum / developing for the DSTL1 / N21

Just got it

I just got my N21 this morning. Hoping to flash it with 1.6 when I get home from work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ryszon:
but if I use the DSTL1_root_1.0.zip it replacing the original system so there wont be a way to obtain the original system image?

I'm little confused as in this topic is so many files that I've lost which file to use to:

- get the root

- file recovery to roll back in case when something going wrong

- and update Android*

*as looking into http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4858841&postcount=47 following the step 5

I've looked into that file its not a IMG file and its looks like just when you use CP to obtain file zip them and then put in the /sdcard/update/ start and finalize update with thoes files.

Am I right? or I'm misunderstood? As before I go forward to do the upgrade I would like to obtain full of backup the ROM which I see rite now is missing only the system files as u already have the rest of them.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andferno:
ryszon,

When you root your device through a recovery image, you are overwriting mtd2 only (recovery). So you can backup your original system partition (mtd3). At this moment I don't have any notice of any success on doing so. But you could try before upgrading to 1.6.

This info is based on what I've read on this forum. I don't get my device yet so no testing on my part.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
pacoge may have successfully backed up the system partition using the custom recovery. I cannot guarantee his success yet because I have yet to test it... my development environment is not in good condition at the moment. But I will be up and running soon.

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] nickleby:
i'm not sure, but the "Windows" folder on your phone have 2 or more files named networklock.exe or simlock.exe, just erase that files (if you found it) and other files like sinmlock.0xxx.mui or networklock.0xxx.mui and you must have unlocked your phone after that....

A friend of mine told me that, but i'm not sure if it works on your phone....

One of my favorite applications for keeping my devices snappy has been MemMaid - currently ver 2.3 (build 230). My TouchPro2 is my first CDMA device. Is anyone else getting unusual results when running Reclaim RAM on their devices? Running the app I get a "Current Free Memory" and "New Free Memory" and amount "Reclaimed RAM". Running it a second time starts with the "New" and may or may not get a better "New".

On the Touch Pro2 I am getting a "Current" of say 88MB, a "Reclaimed" of 23MB, and a "New" of 112MB - very nice if I could believe it! Trouble is running it again reports the same thing instead of starting with the "Current" at 112MB.

Then if I run "cleanRAM" by HTC Addicts I get 1MB saved and a current Free memory of 89MB, all of which suggests that MemMaid may well not be running currectly on this particular device.

Has anyone else experienced issues with MemMaid?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] funkyliu:

I think the MemMaid is not stable, too. Before I installed this software, the result is my bloody phone always hang up. But the problem is disappeared after I remove it. Although it is a very good application, I got sick to use it again.

I just flashed a new rom from the calkulin 21859 kitchen. I've tried pre-made roms but for some reason this problem has not been solved by anything I've tried.

I want the chome plugin, with the condensed plugins bar. In other words, I don't want four separate plugins for text, email, voicemail and missed calls, I want the plugin that combines all four. I can't get that to show.

If anyone can point me to a 21859 rom with the 3.1.5 taskbar and 6.5 titanium as opposed to wm7 titanium where the chome plugin is already working, I'd appreciate that also.

Thanks in advance.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Accidental:
New user here at XDA-Developers and looking forward to enhancing my Touch Pro (Sprint) experience.

I have a frustrating issue! I am unable to sync my Touch Pro with my computer

Before you think "Oh boy, another problem this person can fix with common sense or a search" - I'll tell you I tried everything and searched everywhere! When connected via USB, the device is getting a charge (Plugged-in icon plus white charging light flashing on center button) but my computer does not have that USB connected sound that you get when a USB device is plugged in. Nothing shows in device manager and nothing is recognized in WMDC either.

Here's what I have done so far:

* Uninstalled WMDC and reinstalled from the Microsoft website

* Soft-reset my phone (multiple times)

* Rebooted the computer (multiple times)

* Unchecked 'Enable advanced network functionality' in the USB to PC section. Note: 'ActiveSync' is checked. I did toggle between that and 'Disc Drive'

* On my phone, I unchecked and rechecked the 'Synchronize all PCs using this connection' under ActiveSync>Connections... (USB Selected of course)

* Removed the partnership from both my computer and the phone

* Attempted to connect via 'Internet Sharing' on the phone using USB. Received error 67 and then I rebooted the phone.

* The phone does connect to my friend's laptop via Bluetooth - so Bluetooth sync appears to be working.

* I have NOT done a hard reset. I am reluctant to do this since i can't sync to back up my data (I do not have Bluetooth-equipped computers)

* I do have an HTC Mogul and it DID CONNECT using the same USB port and USB cable.

* The phone is not recognized on two other machines I connected it to.

Due to the last two items, it has to an issue with the phone and not the cable or computer.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (We have a MSDN subscription) but I had this issue before upgrading from Vista Ultimate 64-bit OS. Note: Windows 7 does appear to use the same WMDC as Vista (6.1.6965)

Please help! Thank you.

Update: I did a hard reset and it still did not connect. Sprint ended up replacing the device under an extended warranty for defective USB data connection.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] schnitzelbrain:
Ok, on my friens phone it was a broken Phone USB port. Same behavior as ur phone.

For the hardreset, get yourself pimbackup(contacts and appointments) or sbp backup (if all has incl software has to be saved) and save all ur data on the flash card. Then try hardreset.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Carty:
Right, it smells like the USB port in your phone might be defective when you don't get the USB recognized sound on your PC. Take it back to Sprint.

Regards,

Carty..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Accidental:
Thanks for the advice. I am really hoping that it's not a defective USB port since I'm just out of warranty (I do have insurance though). It looks like my only option now may be the hard reset. Since I can backup on my friends's PC all my ActiveSync items (calendar, contacts, etc), I may not need SPB or pimbackup. I need to back up my texts and settings though.. I hear Sprite Backup is good for this.
