Since installing the Tmobile ROM, I have been unable to load new programs or get my device to synch at all. I get a connection error each time:
ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR
Cannot execute the remote communication program.
Please make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected.
I don't have an SD card (yet), but I was trying to load a kitchen ROM, then tried installing phonext to see if I could get anything on there.
The T-Mobile ROMs have problems talking through ActiveSync. I have personally observed only that you can no longer use 'Programme A' to go to a new ROM, and that you need to use the bootloader/SD-card method instead, but maybe I've missed other things...
(Hmmmm, maybe they turned this silly admin policy thing on...)
Well, what would cause it to not want to synch or even install new programs?
As of today I can get it to synch with Outlook, however still no go on the rest. I will try the bootloader method tommorow at work.
Have you tried a complete reinstall of the latest release of activesync.
Hello there,
as many of you may already know, the HTC Prophet shares a lot of its hardware with the HTC Wizard. We, the Linwizard Project, aim to port Linux to this OMAP-platform, as other users did port Linux for PXA-based devices like HTC Universal...etc.
I just want to invite you Prophet Users to checkout our project. Our procedure and yet available kernel should also run on your phone....

Greetings,

Hi, I want to install Linux on my new Qtek s200, but I don't know how to do that. What is the project's actual status? I hate WM5
Is there any updates to this as yet? I would really love to see this ported/Running to my HTC prophet
Running it now
Yes, there has been some progress... the basic PDA functions are available: X runs, touchscreen works making it possible to run GPE on it:
Here's a link to a recent build which works reasonably well. It contains the f*ugly GPE shell so it is not pretty to look at, but it does work.
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/embedded/linwizard/gizard-20081108.tar.bz2
To try this for yourself, download the image, unpack the tarball and copy the entire contents to a directory on your SD-card. Go into that directory and run haret-0.5.2.exe. Run the 'default.txt' configuration.
Once the kernel boots it will start a telnet daemon on 10.100.0.1:23. Configure your side of the rndis network to be 10.100.0.2 (ifconfig usb0 10.100.0.2 on Linux, whatever on Windows) and telnet 10.100.0.1. Login as root, there is no password. Once logged in run startx to get GPE up and running.
Once GPE runs you'll want to add the onscreen keyboard to the panel. To do this tap-and-hold on the taskbar (bottom of screen) and add the 'input selector'. This gives you an on-screen keyboard just like the WM-one. Add a terminal launcher as well to get access to an xterm.
If all this is gibberish to you you might want to learn some unix/linux before you try...
Thanks alot it works on my prophet it's very fast to but am unable to login as root is there a way I can login to linux without using typing root? if not can u help me with the telneting into it please what software do I have to use on my pc it's a Windows is there anysite with instructions? I like it alot but since the prophet dont got a keyboard on it's own am not able to login please help and Thanks in Advance
Booting and running Linux on the Prophet
Most of what you need to boot and run Linux is described on the linwizard project site:
http://linwizard.wiki.sourceforge.net/
The version offered on the site is out of date - it does not do much more than boot the kernel which you can control through SSH (on 10.100.0.1:22).
To do some more with Linux you'll want to get a newer release. The one mentioned in the previous posting is a good example of where the project is now: relatively complete PDA-support but no real GSM support - so you can not use it as a phone...
To see Linux in action you download the tarball, untar it on your SD-card (either in a card reader on your PC or by untarring it on the PC and transferring all files to a directory below /Storage Card/. Once that is done you are well advised to do a soft reset to clear some memory as haret - the program used to push Windows Mobile out of the way and replace it with Linux - likes memory. After the (optional but advisable) soft reset you take your $favourite_file_manager to the directory where you put the contents of the tarball, execute haret-0.5.2.exe and run the default configuration (just click Run). Linux should boot, albeit slowly (it takes a long time to read the initrd - initial ramdisk - from the SD card). If you get a white screen which stays white for a long time you might as well reboot and try again. If you get a screen with a penguin with a hat on you're in. Plug in the USB cable if you haven't done that yet. You'll be staring at a login: prompt with no obvious means to type anything anywhere... that is because this Linux distribution is made for the Wizard instead of the Prophet, and the Wizard *does* have a keyboard. For now you'll have to resort to telnet to login and get things going. The phone is now listening on the cdc_ethernet interface (over the USB connection) on IP 10.100.0.1 so you'll want to configure the PC-side of the connection to something within that network range - 10.100.0.2 seems a logical choice. Configure the PC-side of the connection with IP 10.100.0.2 (ifconfig usb0 10.100.0.2 up on Linux, many many mouseclicks in the network manager on Windows). Once you have the network configured you can login with *telnet* (NOT ssh as mentioned on the linwizard site, the gizard tarball only has an active telnet daemon!), username is root, there is no password.
Once logged in use 'startx' to get the GPE shell running. It will complain about not being able to find a keyboard. The 'X' cursor appears, follwed shortly by the butt-ugly GPE interface. Once in the shell you can add a keyboard to the taskbar (tap-and-hold, choose add->input manager). There's more stuff to add, like a terminal (always handy) etc. Wifi does not work yet, GSM does not work yet, you just got yourself an iPaq...
If you're looking for eye-candy this is not it - yet. But as it is Linux, and free, and open, it can become anything you want it to...r
Am still getting error when trying to connect to my prophet useing usb is there anyway anything I need windows cant find the drivers is there a site I can download one from that supports my HTC prophet?

if Linux works on the HTC prophet then the Google operating system andriod must work to right? If so any information about it being ported to run on our phones?

Is interesting post #10 OpenMoko s100...not?
First of all, I had some minor problems getting Activesync to recognize my 8525. (XP, Net 2.0). After a couple of driver updates or whatever, it finally worked!
I tried flashing to a different ROM but had problems during the HardSPL procedure. I stopped it, but THEN had some problems trying to connect my 8525 to the PC!! (Activesync again, ugh!) I uninstalled & re-installed Activesync like 3 times, and FINALLY got it to work again!
Now I have problems installing .CAB files to my 8525. I keep on getting the warning:
"The program is from an unknown publisher. You should install it only...."
I press "YES" and it comes as "unsuccessful".
I press "NO" and I get the "... program cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate".
Besides having installation problems, I also noticed that Activesync keeps on disappearing/uninstalling from my PC. I have to install Activesync 4.5 every time I turn on the PC.
Can some one tell me what's going on? What should I do? Should I do a "HARD RESET"? (I have done a SOFT RESET but to no avail). I would appreciate some help. Thanks!
I found out that I shouldn't do a HARD RESET because it will erase the "unlocked" feature in my phone. (I bought the phone unlocked).
I have researched the wiki, and some threads, and ACTUALLY someone else had this problem, way back in 2006. (The .CAB problem). But no one responded.
I also had to uninstall a program I had previously installed in my 8525 due to the fact that it stopped responding. It just wouldn't work anymore. I got the same "unsigned certificate" message.
I guess I'm going to RE-INSTALL Activesync ALLL over again. Maybe it will help it or something...
(This is literally going to be like the 5th time I install Activesync. And I just got the 8525).
IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME WITH THE .CAB PROBLEM I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
(I'm running WM6 Pro, AT&T)
freakin piece of crap!
its STILL NOT WORKING!!!!!
It USED TO WORK! I used to be able to install .CAB files. I have only installed 2 .cab files into internal memory (NO external. dont have one yet). I installed Opera Mini, and Wifi Radar. I also installed a couple of themes. I also installed animated themes but deleted them since they wouldn't work. (I think they required some other stuff). I also deleted all the themes except for one.
THEN one day, i tried doing that HardSPL-V7, and I got to the last step but quit since I got an error telling me that if I continue the (usb?)device could stop working.
Another time I tried installing SPB Finance 2.8 .CAB and that's when I noticed it would no longer install .CAB files. (It also won't install directly using .exe)
I researched Google and the forums, and found out a guy that had the same problem (no one responded).
Today I noticed that Pocket Wifi Radar wouldn't run. It said something about the certificates. I uninstalled it, tried to install it again, but it wasn't successful.
So far this has been the history of my 8525. Could it be because the "certificates" were installed in the ORIGINAL computer profile? Since I have installed Activesync many times, I noticed every time it creates a new profile. For example, the first time it was called "Windows PC". Then it was called "Windows PC2". Just right now I installed it again, and it was going to be named "Windows PC3", but I changed the name to something else, and of course it still didn't work.
Could ANYBODY give me some tips as to what I should do? Thank you.
go to settings>connections>usb to pc. uncheck "enable advanced network functionality".
if it syncs a few times with no problems run unlocker tool found in upgrades section. then hard spl then if you feel game enough upgrade os with one of your choice.
Hope this helps... cheers
holy cow, relax guy. you are not the only person to ever get the not digitally signed message.
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...igned&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
as for the hardspl problem, i responded to that thread you created, didnt you see?
Ok, I tried what you mentioned ultra, and I got this message upon connecting the 8525 to the PC. (BTW, this is the SAME message that appeared when I was attempting to install HardSPL-V7),
HTC USB Sync
has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatability with
Windows XP.
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or disabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
I pressed "Continue" and it installed HTC USB Sync. But then I got the a message telling me "Activesync 4.5 or greater needs to be installed" (even though it IS installed). I ran through the setup again, and it would only let me "repair" or "uninstall". I pressed "repair". Afterwards it asked me to "restart". I did. Then upon loading back up, I connected the 8525 to the PC again, and I got the SAME message again (the one about it not passing Windows Logo). This time I pressed "STOP" and then I got the message about HTC USB Sync not being installed in the computer.
I have been fed up with the problems the 8525 has been giving me. My Clie UX was so much easier to manage. Quick question, I am REALLY leaning on doing a HARD RESET, but I think/kinda know, that if I do, it will ERASE WM6 correct? And go back to WM5?
Oh and yes xtreme, I have searched this on the search bar. And yes, I know you replied back, but you were referring to the Hard SPL. I am having problems w/ installing .CAB files.

dont hit stop dude, u're suppose to hit continue. hitting stop prevents the drivers from being installed and then the RUU wont run
Well I did press "Continue" the first time and I did not see any improvements. I just saw that it installed "HTC USB Sync".
I AM able to successfully install Activesync, I just can't get .CAB files to install.
Could it be because I pressed "STOP" whenever I tried using HardSPL? Should I try and run HardSPL AGAIN and this time pressing "Continue"?
Oh, and are you sure I'm supposed to press "Continue"? After all, I do get that error about Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation. It sounds fishy pressing "Continue".
I just installed Activesync ALLLL over again, but this time in the D:/ drive... still the same .CAB problem.
Oh, and I no longer have the problem where Activesync would uninstall by itself. I noticed it fixed itself yesterday.
BUT I'm still having problems installing .CAB files.
1). hard reset will reset it back to factory its true BUT, and like j-lo's this is a big but, it will re install the last os on the phone (wm6) NOT the stock rom...
2). are you installing the .cab files from the computer or copying them to the memory card and installing from there?
If you install the .cab from the memory card it seems to work fairly well (at least from my experience). if its in a .exe format then it runs from the computer and requires activesync. if you have the .cab file then my suggestion is try to run it from the memory card.. Cheers..
Try installing the SDK certificates and see if that helps
Finally Works!!!!! Hard Reset!
OK, so I've been up for about 3hrs straight trying to figure this out. Reinstalled/uninstalled activesync... tried installing HardSPL again (twice)... didn't work. So I was like, you know what...f* it. I'm going to do a Hard Reset. I'm just gonna try it.
IT WORKED!!!! AND IT STILL STAYED IN WM6!!!! And I think it's still unlocked (although I've read from threads that a HR will disable the unlocked feature).
I AM GLAAAAD THAT I CAN INSTALL FILES NOW!!!! YAY!! (hehe). THANKS TO THOSE WHO TRIED TO HELP!!! SERIOUSLY. It feels really bad when no one tries to help you, even though you don't have a CLUE as to what to do.
** I solemnly swear I will no longer try to use HardSPL or try flashing to a different ROM*. I will use the ROM that came with the phone, and be glad everything is WORKING **
*= at least for until a couple of more months
AND for those who are having this problem (and it's a lot of ppl, based from search results), try a HARD RESET. It helped me anyways.
"and like j-lo's this is a big but"
Glad it worked but I wouldnt allow one bad experiance to turn you off flashing... If I were you I'd still flash hard spl ( in case you find something that you really like). It DOES make it easier to fix "bricks". But just to satisfy your curiosity, go to bootloader and see if it says that you have 2.10 or 2.30 SPL. Also if you want to try flashing, try the sd card method. Its a heap safer (from my experience) than flashing by activesync. Check the wiki for how to do it.
PS. you dot need to reformat the sd card. if you have all the stuff you want on it then just copy the .nbh to the root of the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh", it will load as soon as the hermes is put into bootloader and you wont have to re-install anything. Works every time for me and I've done it about 30 or 40 times...Cheers......

i think his problem is that he can't install .cab files period. he's having the same problem as me. my first phone had that prob, i updated .net 2.0 and it was fine. got my second phone here, update .net to 3.5, but still can't transfer/execute ANY cab files to my phone. the pc just doesn't recognize the phone period. i can't copy/paste, can't push anything through onto my phone. it's crazy. so what else can we do? i'd like to think i'm pretty tech savvy, but this isn't cool LOL
Hello,
now I cannot execute a 'not signed' .exe from my diamond, because of the 'not signed' error message.
I tried to see the first steps of the android port on the diamond touch. I had to remove the battery to stop the application. Since, it's not possible for me to execute any non-signed application (total commander, putty, ...).
Did you find a clean solution? I prefer not to go through the steps of reinstalling a new firmware (windows isn't accessible on my computer & I have a rather old backup of my diamond's files).
I allready have a hardspl, because my orginal ROM is from SFR (french operator)... and I prefer the original HTC version which is more beautiful & more uptodate.

Same problem here. Running android 1.0 got me into this trouble.
(Running android 0.8 multiple times did not cause this problem.)
Did anybody find a better solution than hard reset?

Hy all. I have a Siemens SX66 phone and currently have WM 6.1 flashed onto it. I've tried to flash WM 6.5 onto it and keep getting an error saying that it can't detect my device, even though it's definitely connected and synced with my PC. The versions I've tried to flash onto my phone are the standard and premium versions of the ROM. Does this ROM not flash onto the SX66, and if it does, what is it that I'm doing wrong for it to not see my device? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if you run Windows Vista or above, pls refer to Wiki for the correct driver.
If you are running XP, you must kill ActiveSync (go to task manager and kill wescommgr.exe and rapimgr.exe). Also, make sure that your device is in bootloader prior to cradling the device.
On a side note, please do not open multiple threads with the same question on it. In fact, please search for an answer (either google, wiki, or xda's search engine) prior to starting a new thread. Thanks.

egzthunder1,
I am indeed running Windows XP. In following your directions, Activesync kept popping up automatically whenever I plugged the phone into the cradle. I would kill the 2 exe files you mentioned in the task manager, but they would just pop back up, so I went a step further and uninstalled activesync completely. I then plugged the phone into the cradle, ran "BaUpgradeUt" from the WM 6.5 package (the download is "Windows Mobile6.5Professional(QVGA)v7.9.25_HTCBA ROM"), and I STILL keep getting the same error message when I run the progrm, which is "Error 103: ROM Image File Not Found". I currently have the WM 6.1 ROM installed on the phone if that makes any difference. Any help to figure this problem out would be greatly appreciated.
you get that error, because you shouldn't use baupgrade, but MAupgradeut_noID.exe first of all. make sure the folder containing those two mentioned files also contains a "nk.nbf" file, because that is the rom

Chef_Tony is right on the money. The noID version was developed for this same exact reason. Also, you are correct about ActiveSync as it does pop up again, but if the device is cradled in bootloader mode, the PC will only recognize the device as an USB device rather than a pda. Therefore, AS will not sync with it and it will just be opened in the background.
I believe that there is an app called KillActiveSync somewhere in the Dev & Hacking section, which truly kills AS and prevents it from running. You could search for it if you need it, but it seems that your main problem was that you were in fact using the wrong RUU. Anyway, good luck, mate!

My friend, all I see is 2 things. #1, you are not placing your phone on Bootloader. That is why Active Sync is popping up. #2, after you uninstalled Active Sync, the upgrade utility cannot see the phone. Thats why you get the error. Install Active sync 4.5 again. Make sure you place your phone in bootloader, and follow the steps here
Good Luck.

Ah yes. thanks to egzthunder1, Chef_Tony and all others who helped me on this issue. I followed the directions by all, and was able to install the 6.5 ROM. It looks GREAT!
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????
