[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
DSTL1 rooted Donut pre-release + PATCH

Very Exciting News! and... a WORLD of difference.

Exciting features include "LCD density support, VPN, faster speed, TTS, Local search, etc..."

Patch includes Google Applications :)

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING FIRST - I know it is difficult but it is better before you complain later

#1

A few words:

This is not an official release - there will be bugs

I only take credit for root

You understand that your are responsible for any of these modifications and you alone

#2

Warning:

BACKUP YOUR PHONE. (Factory reset is a requirement and data is irretrievable afterward)

I have only used MyBackup (30 day free trial) and it did the trick... make note that it did not have the option to backup my calendar, so I lost a little bit in that sense.

In the future, NANDROID will be the most ideal option.

#3

The steps you will need to go through:

Make sure you have plenty of power for the device (just on the safe side)

flash recovery

flash system

patch google apps (optional) <--- this is optional because you do not need it for 1.6, but why wouldn't you want it?

Please note that if you choose to wait patching: Patching formats your DATA - so be ready and be backed up if necessary

#4

New Recovery:

Donut image needs more space, so we must get a bigger NAND partition via the new Recovery

Also this new Recovery has more attractive features.

Copy recovery.img to "/sdcard/update/" and reboot you phone.

DSTL1 will auto flash the above location at bootup.

- A good indication of successful Recovery flash is that recovery.img will now be missing (it is deleted by the auto-flash). You may wish to make sure it was deleted before you attempt to boot into Recovery.

- Enter into Recovery mode, and check the "RecVer". If it has a Donut label, first big step has been completed. (pat yourself on the back :))

Your new Recovery image can support PATCH install (i.e. Google Apps PATCH)

Rooted Donut:

Copy DSTL1_Donut_test_root.zip to "/sdcard/update/"

- It is good practice to keep your update directory clean of other packages, but it is not mandatory

Boot into your

new

Recovery

Proceed to do a Factory Reset by pressing "BACK" twice in the recovery menu. (I hope you backed everything up)

Press "HOME" to initiate search for a ZIP package in your update folder.

- Please make sure the file identified by Recovery is the one you wish to flash (in case you have other ZIP packages in update folder for whatever reason)

- If the file identified by Recovery is not the one you wish to use press any key other than "HOME" in "Update confirm dialogue" to let it search another ZIP package. Repeat as necessary

Press "HOME" to finalize update.

You may wish to do a Board Test

Ok, boot your phone, enjoy it.

If you have problem while boot, please go back to Recovery mode to do a Factory Reset.

I rooted it, but BIG THANKS to Anonymous source!
