Sinchronizing Magigian on Linux with Synce

I followed both steps (usb and bluetooth) with no success...
are there any brave persons that are able to sync this device on Linux?
http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/howto.php (USB)
If yes, could you please tell me which kernel did u use and yours secret tips? :wink:

What's exactly the problem you encounter? I use Raki and synce on one debian machine, but just to connect, show the magicians screen on the pc's screen and copy files between them, not to sync any data (appointments, etc.).
Greetings,
BGK

Which guide did you follow to set it up?
The device is recorgnized by dmesg but i can't connect to it with pppd
Have you tried multisync? It should be the bridge between synce and evolution

I have also successfully used RAKI on KDE desktop (Debian Testing) to connect to the Magician. It transfers files back and forth, with the right iptables masquerading entry (done manually) I can use the Internet, but I cannot sync anything either
I forget exactly what I installed, but everything should b plug&play.
Kernel 2.6.10, Hotplug, Synce-KDE...kernel installed manually, the rest from the Debian dselect program. There are certain things you have to set up with the kernel config.
What distro are you using? Any other details?
Re Multisync; I really do want to get synch'ing going like ActiveSync. I installed it, tried various configs, but I do not get anything in the program... Can anyone else help?

uau, could you please post your software version?
did you pass some arguments to modprobe ipaq ?

uau, could you please post your software version?
did you pass some arguments to modprobe ipaq ?
If you made raki work you should install multisync and the evolution plugin..
it's already in http://www.multisync.org/files/multisync-cvs-snapshot.tar.gz

Hi metnik, sorry for the late reply.
My device is an O2 Mini (aka Magician), information at Settings => System => About, is
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14235.2.0.0)
I did not have to pass any arguments to ipaq module. It did everything auto; I guess it is because of the 2.6.10 kernel.
I have installed Multisync from Debian Testing, and it has SynCE and Ximan Evolution 2 plugins. I have created the synchronization pair with these, but NOTHING happens when I press the "Sync" button.
Raki, on the other hand, works nicely with the USB cable; even the KCeMirror works very nicely (window of the device on your desktop).
The only problem with Raki is the synchroniztion setup errors with "No Synchronizer found for (Contact)..."; i.e. I don't know how to get synchronization working with that either... It really would be nice to have a copy of my address book on my Linux partition somewhere. So far it is only on MS Outlook, which I don't use...:-(
Also, I have bluetooth transfers working between the Mini and my laptop, however, I havent figured out how to get bluetooth working with Raki. It would be rather nice.
Any clues?

BLUETOOTH PROBLEMS !(for TomTom GPS receiver) HELP ME please

hi guys i'm a newby (this forum is great!)
i'm from Italy
i've a problem for my S100-Jam-Magician smartphone.
The Bluetooth doesn't work...
i tried before to connect a my friend's phone via bluetooth, the magician recognize the phone (i can read the name of the phone in the bluetooth settings) but the communication doesn't work.
i cant't upgrade the phone on clubuimate, (i don't have the time to explain) so i'm here.
now i've bought this GPS receiver (Sirf STAR III) http://www.handnav.co.uk/product_details.php?id=228
and i've installed the tomtom navigator 5 software (it works) with italian Map.
as for the phone The Magician relevate the name of the receiver, but it doesn't work, there are problems and the bluetooth connection go down automatically. (i've tried normal ways e all normal settings combination - port 4 , 5 , but nothing-9
Appears continuosly the message
"Desligue o modo de voo em primeiro lugar!"
i think it's spanish or portoguese, but i don't undestand why, because i have the italian rom. U(maybe because i had installed before another version of tomtom navigator with portoguese map?)
i've read other post about bluetooth but the tools doesnìt work and i haven't founded the .cab file that maybe solve bluetooth problems.
Can you help me ?
i'm in troubles !
SOLUTIONS :
1) some patch to install that resolve bluetooth problems
it should better because the phone works good...
2) upgrade magician ROM
i don't know which is my rom version
during the magician rebooting appear
R 1.05.00 G 1337.39 D 1.06.04 ita
however i think it is old...
with an official (on clubimate) newer version are there bletooth improvings ?
IMPORTANT
a - i'd like a working italian version
b - i have seen the upgrading post for magician and i HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD ANITHING...because i'm not a tecnich or expert...only a normal user ... forgive me
there is a easier and more detailed tutorial?
is there some italian user that can help me?
my msn accont is [email protected]
thankyou

The ?best? bt patch can be found here: O2 MINI NEW BLUETOOTH STOCK.

Login to be able to download.
Find yourself a rom on the ftp, either shipped-rom (.exe) or image file (.nb1) and give me signal what you've chosen. I'll send you the instructions for the necessary steps.
Cheers, M

Hello!
Before upgrading your Magician, You should test your bt GPS connection with an other little GPS software like cemonitor ( download link--> http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/download.asp?dl=1 )
Try to find your BT GPS com Port normally is com 5. If not I give you a little soft that map the com5 automatically at start. It is "tomtom5patch.exe" that must be on your "\windows\Startup\" folder.
SoftReset your Magician after this install.
In CEmonitor, set the com 5 and look if your GPS communicate.
I forgot to tell you to set the BT GPS on the windows settings, with the correct password. You probably made it before.
Try it and ask again...

nothing to do
the first patch is good but doesn't resolve my problem
that damned write in spanish continues to appaer when i try to make bluetooth work and bluetooth shut down.
the second patch doesn't work, when
i think i have installed a wrong or damnaged software on the PDA in the past that has ruined something...
THANK YOU for the helping,
now i'll try to install a new rom with your help.
have you got any suggestion for the rom to install?
do they work all fine, even in italy? wìhich is the best one in your opinion?
is there the risk to damnage the magician?

There's a 1.12ITA shipped-rom on the ftp under magacian. This is the safest upgrade.
- make a backup of every piece of data you want to keep, especially contacts, calendar, tasks. Everything will be lost & programs need to be reibstalled
- synchronize with outlook via Act.Sync
- Download the ITA1.12 shipped-rom
- execute the downloaded file
- follow instructions on your PC & watch the progress on the magician as well
- when finished, you'll be asked to hard-reset
- hard-reset & enjoy the upgraded magician
- synchronize the outlook data
- reinstall your programs
That's it.
Regards, M

it seems simple...
now i try

grazie !!
thank you all
now al things work perfectly.

You're welcome.

Hi,that message(desligue o modo de....)compare from a few time on my magician.The rom is the same from 8 month,and the messagge compare from 1 month.The only things that I change are the 2 giga sandisk,and I installed 3 different navigator on my device.I don't think the problem comes from rom(1.12 ita),maybe from sd or other navigator?

Card Export 2.15 Works! (at least for Mac users!)

Softick released Card Export 2.15 today and recommended I try it. Sure enough, it works, even on my Mac! There is a catch however, you must enable the following option in Preferences -> Hardware:
- Use Dumb Endpoint
(Alt Init Order may also help if you're having issues, but on my Mac it made no difference either way)
I have attached the .cab since it seems only an exe is available on the website, this should be useful for other Mac users without VirtualPC.
Enjoy!

Nope, doesnt work with my T-Mobile MDA Vario with latest Qtek ROM.
Same problem as v2.12, it hangs when you get the balloon with 'Found new USB device'. I used an Acer Travelmate laptop with Windows XP Pro with latest patches.

Thanks mate...
Works like a dream, solved part of my mac/WM5 problems, now sync to entourage is the only one left...
Do not suppose you got a wondersolution to that Sprezzatura
I mean MissingSync and PocketMac does not yet.
Thanks again for the tip off...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had the same issue until i read a post on the Softick forum. Softick support and another user suggested enabling a combination of "Alt init order" and "Use dumb endpoint" in Card Export Preferences (Hardware tab) as with what sprezzatura posted above.
Now i can use the software perfectly and can swap to / from ActiveSync & Card Export with no problems and no soft resets are required (except for the mandatory reset immediately after installing Card Export)
Goto: http://softick-forum.com/index.php to read what others have said.
Thanks sprezzatura for the heads up that they released the new version.
Cheers,
Chris
p.s. I have tested this and it works for me on every Dell, Toshiba & Clone PC / Laptop i have.

Wicked **** !!
v2.15 works perfect with those 2 settings. Great stuff !!

Prophet similar to HTC Wizard - Help porting Linux to them!

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?

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

wifi with certificate

Dear All
I need to connect my htc tyn to my work wifi configuration. The problem is the wifi is based on a root certificate permission. Obviously i have the certiface but with wm5 i can't configure the wifi with the root certificate. I try to use odyssey client for windows mobile but it allow me to use only personal certificate. Can someone help me
Thanks for your great support
Bas

It can be done, it's just not much fun!!!
It's a bit of a convoluted process, but you can install a root certificate on a WM device - only problem is, you have to use a CAB file.
There is an article on one of the MSDN blogs that you can use (I've used it myself about 12 months ago and I still have the CAB on my SD card!). Have a look at >THIS PAGE< to find out how to do it! By the way, the "makecab" program is part of Windows XP, so you don't need to go downloading SDK's etc.
Have a go, hope this helps!
Mark.

I have loaded my certs by exporting them on WinXp to .CER files, copying them to my Jasjam and then opening them in file manager.
You should be prompted to install the cert.
Worked for me.

Dear all
The problem is not to import the "root" certificate to wm5, but how to use it with the wifi (weap) structure.
