s100 and Linux

Does anyone have tried to install a dual boot with Linux and GPE?

Yeah, I can get it to work. But there is no phone support!and i had a major problem getting in contact with the device (had 2 have a friend of mine do it) using USB. (normally I’d use serial of compact flash for file transfers etc. when using Linux on a PPC device)
Other then that there is not much fun having an i-mate Jam phone with no phone, so i switched back.

will this (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaLinuxBooting) works also on magician?

how do i do this, what files to d/l where can i get it ? please help

follow the link above :wink:

Dear ALL,
1)Is there any way to have 2 opering systems(linux and windows) on Magican simutanious like on iPAQs ?
2)How to activate gsm\gprs in linux?

booting linux
Does the Himalaya kernel really boots on an Magician?
I will make a try....
BTW porting the linux kernel didn't seems to be an hard work (but i'm not a kernel developper), because the Magician architecture is not so far from Himalaya one, and the PXA272 is allready supported by linux (see linux2.6 sources)
The realy big problem is to control all hardware devices, from USB to touchpad and most important and hard : the Phone.
Hope there is as little differences as possible between HTC hardwares.

working sync with linux?

Hi!
Is there anyone, who succeded getting the smartphone to work to together with linux. I`ve tried http://sourceforge.net/projects/synce/, but I run into a kernel panic, because the device is unsupported.
Is there another way to get at least access to the sd card?
Thx in advance!

Synce does not work with windows mobile 5 at the moment. You can subscribe to the mailing list and help reverse engineer the new sync protocol in windows mobile 5.

Android

Hi guys,
I have successfully compiled the android platform for ARM (Xscale) processor, but i don' tknow how to rename it so the bootloader could recognise the image file from the SDcard, could you pin pointment what the filename is, it's quite urgent and i need to know it as soon as possible.
the files are system.img (the core file with all all applcations), ramdisk.img (image file fir all drivers ) and userimg.img for all the data the user will be strong...
thanks in advance.

If you guys wish to have the image files, i would gladly provide to you.

Okay, from begining
Answer in points like I ask you questions
1. Can you enter bootloader? (serial text on screen without backlight)
2. Which Bootloader version do you have? It is written on screen when in bootloader mode at bottom (like 1.03v)
3. If you put your device into crandle (of course crandle is connected to usb in your pc/laptop) do USB text appear in place where Serial text was already?
4. Which system do you use? (Xp, vista, 7, linux, unix, amiga, commodore)
5. Do you have nk.nbf and Upgrade.exe or HimaUpdate(...).exe in THE SAME folder?
6. What happens if you run update application and click Next?
7. Did you tried to run in administrate mode?
8. Do you have x64 system?
9. Do you have himalaya? put out your battery and check if it is written PH10B or PH10A.
10. Did you tried another PC or another crandle?
11. Which rom you want to flash?
Answer here.

HI,
1. yes
2. v1.01
3. yes USB is displayed
4. windows 7. ( i have XP aswel which i tried and failed also)
5. Yes. Both files in same folder on my desktop.
6. it says checking information on your PDA then says connection failed.
I tried it when not in bootloader mode aswell and it said it was erasing everything off my PDA but then said connection failed straight away.
7. Yes tried it in admin mode but same error messages.
8. no not using x64 system.
9. under the battery it says PH10B
10. Yes, tried my laptop and also my desktop.same errors on both of them.
11. Ive tried a few ROMs. any ROM will do realy. just want to get rid of windows mobile 2003.
Thanks for your quick replies.
ive updated alot of phones from windows 2003 to windows 6.5 but this 1 is just stubbon lol.
could it be the handset is faulty?
im waiting for another handset to come which is identical but originaly on T-Mobile not O2 like this 1.

sorry for not getting back to you im only a noob 2 things may be wrong sounds like faulty socket on phone or faulty cable/cradle try wobbling the cable gently when connected all sounds obvious but we are talking grandad of mobiles you cannot as far as i know go strait from 2003 to 6.5 i just got to 6.5 if you get a stable connection you have to go 2003se then 5 from there went to swampys blue silk now aeroflylubys hybred 6.5 all running perfect also athers memory program came in handy i used microsoft activsync 4.5 for xp win7 is a brill os but xp did it for me

ROFL! amiga!!! AMIGA FOREVER!!!!

Ive just had another O2 XDA II and a TMobile MDA II throught the post.
ive just ordered a new cradle today aswell, as the 1 I was using was slightly cracked on the bit that connects to the phone.
So that might of been the problem.
im unable to test until the new cradle comes (hopefully in the morning)
il keep you posted.
cheers

Linux and PDA

Hi,
after long time without a PDA i bought me a Vodafone Compact IV. It's a great Pocket PC, since it store the timezone and date i entered when shutting down . But i really don't want to use WM anymore. It runs WM 6.1 original.
How do i get into the Flashing things? Where on the WIki are some instructions for it? When i had my wizard i had to know if it is G3 or G4, i had to read some stuff like ISPL or something. But where is a beginnerfriendly tutorial? Then the next is, how do i get Linux working on the device? I know about a tool to dualboot WM/Android. And i also found threads which explain how to run Android from SD card. At first i have to know how to start. That's why i need to know about the flashing.
Is there a bootable Linux image? It's okay for me, to delete the WM Partition, but is this possible? Is there anyone working on?
Might it be a problem that i am on Linux with my Desktop PC? :-/. I could use OSX too, but i don't want to get back to windows.
I hope there are some out, who know my situation. Please excuse my imperfect english
edit: it actually doesn't need to be Android. I would be happy about a working Linux system with package manager. There doesn't need to be X11 and the stuff. But, of course, a Desktop environment would be great
edit2: okay i got a HardSPL'ed device know i am flahsing with SD-card. Thats very nice. Is there a Linux Image out there, which i cann install via SD-card and that runs instead of WM????
