Yifanlu, I think I have found the main problem. The citation marks are missing when FILES are set to empty string in "copy_new_files()" procedure in file "make-package.ffs":

FILES=""
for file in ${SKIP_TTS_FILES}; do
/bin/umount /usr/share/nuance/data/$file
FILES="${FILES} data/$file"

I also found out that it seems to be important to not only replace the rootfs.img and do a reboot if Step 2 (Create updater) fails, but in addition do a software Restart by pressing Menu/Settings/Menu/Restart to try a fresh install. However, I am not sure if this is necessary now after inclusion of the missing citation marks.

I use Cygwin in Windows 7 with OpenSLL and Python packages to run the script to compile the binaries using "bash create_packages.sh". However, despite that the binaries in the beta2-2 version were compiled without error I couldnīt use them to update the Kindle (The Update option in the Settings menu was greyed out). I had to combine the make-package.ffs file from beta2-2 version with the create_packages.sh in alpha version to get binaries with Cygwin that were acceptable for the Kindle.

I am now creating the update package for the DXG on the non-US Kindle Wifi+3G. It has passed the critical "Saving tts files" stage and is currently compressing the image. I takes a loooong time but I am optimistic that it now finally will generate an update binary. Then I will try to update the DXG with it.
