Apparently Treo 700 owners get a new utility in the latest verizon ROM update to switch the connector between RNDIS and Serial mode called "USBSwitch".
The USBSwitch utility is a workaround that lets you connect through a method other than RNDIS¹. This is useful if your desktop PC configuration uses third-party software or network configurations that interfere with ActiveSync's ability to connect via RNDIS. RNDIS is capable of working correctly if the settings are properly configured, but some of these settings may be configurable only by your organization's IT Helpdesk.

Cannot communicate with the PC because of the following Remote Networking error (Error 608) Please reconnect your device. If the problem persists, restart the device.
PS: I have used your rom before this one, both are very good roms, but they have the same problem.
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....
http://linwizard.sourceforge.net
Greetings,
Maui
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? And I tryed to connect to it but no luck I change my ip address to 10.0.0.2 255.0.0.0 and tryed to telnet to 10.0.0.1 but nothing, is there anyway to ping the device to see if it's up and running am upset, you sure there is no way to use it without having to login as root? This is giving me stress but al keep trying but am sure am missing somthing but what is it do you know? BTW I used the Drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385129&highlight=linwizard&page=4
hope thats works for the prophet if not can you please help me find a driver for my prophet thanks again and good work
Sorry I got it to work I made a mistake its ip address 10.100.0.2 255.255.0.0 telnet 10.100.0.1 it works I even uploaded some pictures of it enjoy
I used a Nokia 3595 to take the pictures
just more pictures
Just a more pictures I love it I wish we can use it as a phone
They were taken with the Iphone
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?
hi all, i'm trying to make linux booting, but as just i start the haret and press run to execute the default.txt, it tell me :
kernel syncing panic.... and reboot after 30 seconds
any suggestion? i'm using vista 64bit and a qtek s200 wm6.1
Well am not to sure about this but al try to help Now tell me first did the linux boot on your ppc? to the screen were its asking for username? if so its ok if Not and it resets your mobile then something is wrong tell me what does it say and to tell net to it first you need the drivers did you get it? if not al post a link to download it ok I never had that problem before try running it on your SD card did you download all the files needed? I just updated my prophet rom so al try it my self it could be a firmware problem al try my best to help you ok
umh i havent installed any driver on my pc...... on the profhet, all i do was extracting files and run harted 0.5.2 .... and then press run. shell start, but then i got this error, i think it's more a pc-phone related problem..... i'll try do some other test
PS: telnet or ssh doesnt work
when i had BA phone, i was able to install linux on it, but i had just to start harted and all was working then.
Well it could be a ROM issue try to close unused programs it might help were is the files located? in the main memory or storage card? Anyway keep trying I don't understand much the drivers I posted a link for it already read my older replys ok And try a different ROM becouse am not getting this problem on mines
is it already found how to call with linux?
that is fantastic, I will refresh my Xda neo

I would like run linux in my prophet..but i never use Linux...
Is possible OPIE in prophet?

Is interesting post #10 OpenMoko s100...not?
Does anyone have any experience with the TIACXWLN.dll? Has anyone disassembled, rewritten or obtained the source code for this?
Bascially what I am after is bain able to use my packet sniffer in promiscuous mode, which I believe this driver doesn't support.
Hi,
Did you ever figure out how to put tiacxwln.dll into promisuous mode?
I came across this site: http://winm-soft.atspace.com/ in my efforts to find a hacked driver that supports promiscuous mode. Once the cab is installed I try to enable promiscuous mode and scan with Airscanner Mobile Sniffer v2.5, however there are a few problems that seem to be occurring. The sniffer would not even start up without first installing the custom mode controller cab, however once I did and tried enabling promiscuous packet capture through BOTH the custom TIACXWLN driver and the Scanner software, errors occurred.
The hacked driver was originally intended to work on a Dell X50v in WM5, however it should be capable of enabling promiscuous packet sniffing on the Tytn. I may decide to downgrade to WM5 to see if this issue can be solved by simply downgrading the wlan drivers.
I'll get back to this later.. if anyone has any luck with this, let me know.
Cheers
Any news?
I was just wondering if any one was still working on this? I saw the other night a link that Ipaq released a new TIACXLN driver, It may ave been older then I thought I can not fiend it now.
Hi,
Where I work I've access to the WLAN with my LPT. The WLAN is configured with MAC address access list.
Is it possible to change the MAC Address of my P3600 to access the WLAN?
Thanks
Sbay
No absolutely not possible. You should let your mac adress added to the network.
hello, i don't see the MAC address in settings and the wi-fi doesn't turn on now.
What can i do?????
Help!
and, as i enter in bootloader, after USB i read in Red: WLAN ERROR.
what can i do??
Even if it were possible to change the MAC address, which can be done for your laptop, your employer obviously has a reason for not having the WiFi open to all who have the WEP/WPA key and circumventing this may well not be looked on favourably. Best suggestion is to register your PDA with the IT department so it works without hacking anything
yah
I do agree with deedee
Did someone find the solution to restore WLAN EEPROM?

I have almost the same problem...
I have flashed WM6.5 ROM, then decided to return to native WM5.0 ROM. In bootloader there was the same error.

Hello to everybody. I tried to search this forums, but didn't find the solution.
Is it possible to disable WPA2 wifi authentication in windows mobile 6.1 device? I have issues with connecting to WPA2/AES network (device crashes to black screen). Manual setting to WPA/TKIP does not work, because it is overrided with WPA2/AES.
Some information here on the MSDN website:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916274.aspx
There doesn't seem to be anything to disable WPA2 though
Thanks for the links. But after long time googling and reading some technical stuff, I am more and more convinced, that it is hardcoded into wifi drivers and it isn't possible to change it .
Better solution should be use of correct-WPA2-working driver, but I am neither programmer, nor experienced cooker to use driver from different type of WPA2-working device with same wifi chip.
EDIT: I found, that it crashes before showing of login dialog (PEAP auth), so that must be problem with WPA2 pre-authenication.

I have WPA2/AES working on my Kaiser with the (almost) stock 5.2.19212 ROM. I did update the WiFi driver in my kitchen though (TNETW1251.dll version 3.55, dated 10/06/2008). I have never had any issues with WPA2 though, even before I upgraded to WM6.1.

I have Vox and it crashes with every ROM, original & custom without difference. Mainboard replacement didn't solve this problem, so that must be software issue. Where did you get that updated TNETW1251.dll? Here I only found patched one for ICS.

I can't remember where I got it from originally - more than likely a post in the Kaiser ROM Development forum. I am not sure its the same driver on the VOX but here it is anyway (just delete the .zip extension).
Andy
Too bad, another driver for same wifi chip doesn't work (doesn't load on startup). Maybe because of different chipset. But thanks anyway.
