For some reason I am not able to do the update, It can't find the .img file on the SD card.

It creates a update.log file, se below:

Any idea about what I am doing wrong?

It worked, I was supposed to rename the .img file to recovery.img, which I didn't do.

In other words, It was me not the phone.

Works fine with N21.

But google apps patch reboot phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] killdashnin9:
@blacline

Did you previously have the Beta rom installed on your N21? If so what was the process you used and did you see any improvements over the Beta rom?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blacline:
yes my phone was in 1.6 beta before.

I just follow how to on general mobile site.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ryszon:
installed on N21 and :

- wifi fixed, but still there is problem with DHCP, using DHCP mode cannt connect, I had to use static IP.

- better keyboard (bigger size)

- touchscreen sensivity is better

didnt try google apps patch yet
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asunde:
Did you do both the .img and .zip file?

Did you also redo the market patch, and google market etc. still works?

Is your phone any better than with the 1.6 beta from this forum?

**** I updated mine to 1.6 with the beta yesterday, would you do the new update if you were me?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ryszon:
I had 1.6 beta with google market.

Installed the official 1.6 and there is no included google market, didnt install updated for market yet so I dont know how it will work after.

I tryied to use the recovery.img but its not recognize on my phone and nothing happend. So just when I had beta I just updated to the official using the zip file and for any case I did restore to the factory settings. All working perfectly fine (except DHCP on wifi), but didnt test all function yet.

Great news... looking forward to your rooted version crzyruski.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
official update: thoughts so far + ROOTED

I am disappointed with the update this way:

It boots in Turkish... what gives? I thought this was an English release. (maybe others said the same thing when it didn't boot in their language)

The calibration failed continuously for me the first time around. I had to reboot and do it over.

Recovery corrupted after I updated to the official DONUT ROM! I cannot boot into Recovery Mode anymore. I had to reflash it to fix! I was unable to duplicate the problem...

Top menu bar is still hard to grab. You have to hold down on it for a good second or two to pull it down, also you have to press so far up on the screen that you wonder where the screen really begins.

Widgets can hide an overlap just like with unofficial release :(

Desktop crash not often but still occurs...

intermittent speaker crackle

Positives:

I think I notice a speed increase as well as better touch sensitivity, but this may be because I have not installed a thing on it yet.

Settings has G Sensor Calibration :) (I don't think it had this before)

Wifi is significantly faster! :)

Music application no longer skips song on shake! :)

Successfully Rooted :)

I will upload a new ROOTED version based on r2544_donut_update(04/12/09) later today so I suggest you hold off unless you can't wait.

Rooted version is English locale ;)

crzyruski-DSTL1_Donut_official_rooted-v1.00.zip

Don't forget to use a DONUT Recovery. I think the unofficial Recovery will work but have not tested. General Mobile's official Recovery is a safe bet :) http://www.generalmobile.com/support/dstl1/Android_20091201_r2485.zip

Don't forget your Google Apps PATCH :)

Still works!

crzyruski-DSTL1_Market_Patch-v1.10.zip

P.S. Google Maps should now be available on Market!

P.S.S. YouTube works a little better than in unofficial, but still barely keeps up with high quality play. Normal quality play is fine however (but ugly to watch)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] leventefarkas:
why don't you put google maps into your market patch? it's also in the adp1.5_property_app.rar so you can simple add it and it'd be useful for everybody as gmail and contacts
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] teu-toni:
THX crzyruski for your great effort! :)

Sorry but I don't have a N21 until now, anyway I am curious to know if the DSTL1/N21 functions with 'Maps-no-root-aligned.apk' therewith I could use Google Maps Navigation even N21 doesn't have GPS build in.

Does anybody know if WPS (Wi-Fi Positioning System) can be used in Germany? Is the License included in the .apk to activate WPS out of America?

If so is Google doing that to interested more people for Android?

Edit: Is 'Google Maps' (2.0= Latitude from October, 27th, 2007) the predecessor for 'Google Maps Navigation' from November 2009 which includes WPS and which version number is that?

Please help me to clear this up!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
The reason for not including it in the PATCH are these:

-It cannot be uninstalled (some people may want this option)

-it can be downloaded from Market (why take unnecessary space online when Market centralizes this)

If the demand is high I can certainly do it, but since it became available on Market, I feel the need to include it has been lost.

My Music players don't work... How about yours?

I have tried Music and TuneWiki :(

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
I'm guessing your question is in reference to Navigation Outside of US.

http://www.intomobile.com/category/manufacturers/htc/

I am not in a position to test, sorry.

I don't see why they created a map for rooted versions and one for non-rooted versions. But likewise, you can get a rooted copy here, or one from General Mobile.

Cheers :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
Yes I do. This is much less laggy! Though some Force Close are possible, most of operation has been smoothed out.

Dear dstl1 user:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asunde:
crzyruski, I already installed your unofficial update, that one included a recovery.img file which does not come with your new official release.

Is the case that I only need to install the crzyruski-DSTL1_Donut_official_rooted-v1.00.zip and then the Market-patch no Recovery.img?

If so why is that, and why does General mobiles update include both recovery.img and Donut update?

Thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scharchen:
So since I was in a hurry last night when I got my new phone i did upgrade to the official 1.6 before rereading that you started on it already.

So now arises 2 questions that I dont sem to be able to find searching here.

1: do the market patch require the phone to be rooted or will it work on the official to?

2: do the market patch wipe the phone settings etc? Became unsure of this while browsing the thread.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
The patch should work on unrooted version. I have not tested this theory.

The patch itself will not wipe your phone, but you may need to do this manually in Recovery Mode with Factory Reset option.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
Let me clarify that you do need a recovery specific to Donut. I have not tried flashing to official from unofficial recovery... after comparing the two recovery images, they vary little.

I did not include recovery in my rooted package, good point. I will ammend instructions shortly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
I experienced problems but I think much less than before. All night my phone stayed on wifi while in sleep mode...

Ironically it drops wifi during day time ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
When would it be useful to use this log dumping command?

When a program Force Close occurs?

Or on any event that bothers?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andferno:
When to use dump_log.sh

It dumps all phone logs, processes, phone state, ...

I believe you can use it when needed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
privacy conscious about phone state logs

It dumps lots of private data too :(

So far I have identified:

APN settings

IP Address from GSM provider

IP Address from Wi-fi (not big deal because its usually some private 192.168.x.x)

Name of Wi-fi (not big deal)

MAC address of Wi-fi (can be used to fingerprint router origin)

GMail email address

Email Program - SMTP/IMAP server

Maybe we need a script to clean it for some of us privacy conscious ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
Performance boost!

I have been able to increase performance with "DroidSwap" - available on Market

There is risk involved - like SD card lifespan being shorter.

I have made a swap partition on SD card and using that.

Swappiness is 60

and Swap size is 64MB (for multi-tasking)

:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andferno:
Well done. It's interesting to test available binaries from other distributions (phone roms) with same or almost the same kernel. They could work without problems if they use stable code between kernel versions. That's why almost all binaries of official distribution are the same as the testing ones.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
You lost me :confused:

I just used a software i found on Market.

I was able to partition my SDCard for swap support using the custom Recovery Image from Amon_RA
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andferno:
Sorry, I'll try to explain it well.

I'm sorry. I didn't explained correctly. I mean that it's fine to test Market system utilities, but they rely on Android framework that isolates them from hardware. So we should start testing binaries from other cooked roms, like App2SD and other useful tools to improve our phone's functionality. But this could be possible only if kernel version matches, or calls between app and kernel haven't changed from previous to new one. HTC mobile phones also use arm architecture, so part of their cpu instructions are the same as PXA310. Maybe we could get those great applications without recompile them from sources (you know we don't have full kernel sources). Other approach is to compile those apps with generic PXA310 code and guess they don't use DSLT1 proprietary code. It should be like testing i686 code on i386 machine.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asunde:
Problems updating

I have installed the new Rcovery.img file but am unable to enter recovery mode, to install the new "Official 1.6".

The phone will not start after reboot. I have taken out the battery twice and been able to start the phone, but it never starts when I hold down the Home & End keys.

Any idees whats going on, or what to do?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
The obvious question: Did recovery.img get deleted from your update folder?

If so, try the step over again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asunde:
I am able to restart the phone i I only use the "Power & End key".

If I try going into recovery modus by pushing home and "Power & End key ", the phone stays off, all black. The only way to start the phone after having tried recovery modus is to take out the battery leave it out and put and put it back in.

It seems like the home button puts the phone into some everlasting sleep modus.

The only thing I can think of is that I turned off Sim2, wich probably changes the home buttons functionality, but I have turned that back on.

Is there a way to somehow reset the phone to factory setting when it is on?

Should I try the recovery image one more time?

Help!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asunde:
Yes the image was deleted.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
Its not sleep mode, just software boot error. Fixed with removing battery to short period of time.

So I have tried to do this:

I copy recovery.img to my sd card.

Then I make sure to copy it to the folder called "update" and rename the file to "recovery.img" if its not already done.

I tell the phone to "Power Off" and then hold power to turn it on.

Once it finishes booting into Android I make sure that the "update" folder is empty.

Then I power off once more.

Then I hold the SIM2(Home) button then press and hold POWER (End) button for several seconds.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asunde:
Thank you it worked the second time I installed the recovery.img.

I guess I just get all scared that I broke the phone.

Another thing is that Norwegian is no longer a language option,

do you know why?

I had Norwegian with your unofficial 1.6 an market patch.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scharchen:
Did apply it and it worked like a charm. Did try without reseting to factory and I have not seen any problem so far. So my N21 is now transfomed into a DSTL1 with Donut. A major improvement.

Regarding the discussions around the difference between a DSTL1 and N21 I have found that on my phone if I open it I can see labels on the board being badly painted over saying "General Mobile DSTL1" so it is the exact same phone, just new plastic cover on the front...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
After some research: I cannot do this easily because two different APKs exist... one for non-rooted phones and one for rooted phones. Since I cannot think of way to have the patch determine if you have root or not, you will have to do this manually :( Sorry.

I hold no responsibility, nor tested, i just dug up the info on some forum where someone says:

Its recommended you stick to the market version, but if yours does not allow... there are special ways to get it. plz note that you should never update google maps from Market once you have done this!

for rooted phones:

for non-rooted phones:

Again, I don't know why so don't ask.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crzyruski:
