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?
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

Is interesting post #10 OpenMoko s100...not?
Hello. I want to scan and modify every IP packet that goes thru PPP (dial-up) (or thru all interfaces if easier). I've done a lot of research and found that maybe the only way to achieve this on lousy wince is to patch the OS itself...I am an x86 programmer and I've done this relatively easily on winxp...
P.S. How can one debug wince os code in ROM with software debuggers?
P.P.S. So far I don't have any solution to my problem so it would be a success to do this even with one device (I have htc universal for tests...)
Today I've finally downloaded the platform builder and so called "Shared" code of wince 6.0...To my surprise I found ARM4 .lib files instead of source code for everything that I needed to look in (ip*.*) . However there is a binmod utility and other stuff for editing rom that you might need. I don't need to modify rom since i can neither debug ROM nor have it's source even from a different version of wince (I need for 5.0). M$ is sh*t as usual.
It is the har work to modify ppp packets on pocket pc (wince).
Yo can try the passthru sample in PB:
\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\NETSAMP\PASSTHRU
and
\WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\NETSAMP\ASYNCMAC
i think you have to modify the drivers.
good luck !
Hi Guys,
I have a remote control that I would like to extract the ROM from.
The remote is a NevoSL, it is a WinCE.net device. I have looked everywhere for info about doing this but haven't found anytools that work.
Right now it runs a stripped down O/S image. I have a full CE.net image to load to it but I want to make sure that I can restore it back if I run into a problem. I have the lastest upgrade image for the device however I can't get it to load with MS device emulator.
Thanks in advance.
Have you googled around? I imagine someone's already done it.
What connection options does it have?
V
I have googled and googled.
It's a USB connection. It also has Wi-Fi.
I have gotten it to stop loading the remote software and I can get into the directories, and run some programs on it. However I think it's missing a major chuck of the O/S. Almost every program I have installed will not run. I have got it to connect to my wireless network.
All I want to do is get a webrowser on it.
I have tried to install MiniMon but it will not run.
Best bet might be to download Platform SDK and compile a mini CE build. Grab Internet Explorer from there and see what that does.
What kind of errors do you get?
V
I thing I'm worried about is erasing the factory Nevo bootloader and not being able to restore the device back to it's orginal state. I really don't want to have a 900 dollar brick.
With Minimo I get a "Cannot find minimo_runner ( or one of it's componets) error. It's the same error with almost any software I have tried to run.
Many apologies if a solution to this has already been posted - if it has could someone lead me in the right direction?
My problem is with transfering large files to the Ameo's Microdrive. Activesync is too slow and wont transfer large files. I have tried two different versions of wm5torage, each time installing correctly and soft resetting. I am able to connect to my computer as a mass storage device without a hitch, and all files etc show up. The problem is that when i try to move, say a DivX onto the Microdrive after about 30 seconds I receive the message: "canot copy .....: cannot find the specified file. make sure you specify the correct path and file name"
Please can someone help me with this as it's ever-so-slightly doing my head in.
Many thanks
p.s. if it's any use i've tried this with both wm5 AND 6 with the same disappointing result
wm5torage works like a charge just dl on modaco forum then run it, your pc will see your ameo like a usbstick .

yes it is off modaco and it does connect like a usb stick; its just that it doesnt maintain this connection during file transfer and gives the error mentioned above
Try these...

Hi Leon.
What version are you running? Try this one if you're not already running it.
If all else fails...and this is cumbersome, but works everytime....use SafeMode Advanced and use it at boot time...no other drivers will be loaded and no conflicts.. It will def work then. After transferring your files, soft-reset to go back into standard WM5/6.
Let us know how you got on.
When I try with version 1.75 it is unreliable and often produces the error message you see. It may be luck but I've not had problems with 1.73. I disconnect the USB cable first before running, activate the software, then reconnect the cable.
When it does go wrong my Microdrive file table corrupts, also the Ameo hangs on the rainbow-wheel. I soft reset. Once I get it working I get errors if I need to copy the same file again. To fix this, I open WM5torage and run Check Disk on the Microdrive from my PC.
what you need to do is go to settings and the connections tab and turn off the advanced network functionality in "USB to PC". then use WM5torage.
I've tried unchecking "advanced network functionality" but to no avail. I've tried uninstalling activsync, and I've even tried it on a pc which has NEVER had Activsync on it - all with the same disappointing result.
Invariably WM5torage crashes and is 'unkillable' (if that's a word!) via Running Programs. Whatever I do it just crashes when I try to deactivate it.
I tried a hard reset of the device AND microdrive prior to installing Wm6 and THIS didn't work either. I've also tried the WM5torage cab posted in this thread by mackaby007. No luck.
I've tried Softkey Card Export ii as well and that just keeps reconnecting to activesync before windows even gets chance to recognise it as a mass storage device.
I think I've ran out of ideas.....

Just tried it with WM5torage 1.72 and that seems to be working fine.
Just transferred a 700mb file without hitch.
Wonder what the problem was with 1.75
try out card export 3.0
i heard this is a god sofwtare
I tried to see what could be wrong
I installed Card Export II but it would not ran and complains of missing dll's, but WM5torage 1.73 worked instantly. I have just transfered 3.5 Gb of music and some clips to test it. No problems yet and transfer took about 20 mins.
Could your problem be caused by installed software? Will have a look at Card Export 3 (never heard of it, or their notice must have gone to spam folder)
I've always been able to use version 1.73 smoothly in the past. Then, later I tried out version 1.75 thinking that it might work better. I could connect and activate. I had no problem transferring small files. However, it always stopped recognising the device as a valid USB mass storage a few minutes into the transfer operation. The de-activation would hang the device. I then went back to the older version that I still kept in my PC, (Modaco only has the faulty new version), and everything works again. I transferred a 3.7 gb file without problem.
So, make sure you do not use version 1.75 from the Modaco site.
doh!
I just read the first page and installed the 1.75 version which does crach my ameo as well. Can anyone tell me where to get version 1.72?
Please test the new WM5torage 1.78 beta version on your Athenas. It should again work on long transfers without glitches.
Feedback is needed, so please report in the main support forum here - http://www.modaco.com/WM5torage-t238545.html
Unless people with Athenas will participate in testing, there will be no good support for it...
Where can we get the 1.78 version
when I go to the link in the previous post, and click on download, it suggest only versuin 1.75
I'm having same error described in post #1 on my HTC Athena WM6.
Actually the error occurs only when using PC with WIN XP OS, while on my laptop which runs Win 2000 I don't have that problem at all.
Cheers
I've tried version 1.73, 1.75 and 1.78 beta 2 and only 1.73 is working.
On other versions i'm getting same error as Leoni
Cheers
I've tried loads of versions now but can't seem to gwet my hands on 1.73.
All the cabs marked 1.73 are 1.75
Can someone post a working 1.73 cab please

yes its a good while ago now since I posted that thread. but I do recall trying unticking the advanced network functionality box with my original wm5 tmob rom and also with the leaked wm6 rom. I also recall that it still didn't work. I really did try everything but only found success when installing the older version of wm5torage.I still cannot fathom why wm5torage 1.75 worked for some people but not for me. I haven't tested it since installing p.k.s black rom but will try tomorrow.
sorry to be a buttlicker olipro but cheers for your work by the way
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.
Andy
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.
