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,
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

hiiiiii every body
i have i-mate jasjar
and i lost the CD , SO PLZ I NEED JASJAR DRIVER
may any body give me the driver very soon ????
iam waiting friends
thank you
Hi Anas, what do you mean buy 'driver'. Everything, as far as I know, is accomplished by ActiveSync. Please describe your need better (I have original Orange CD).
The only driver on the CD supplied with the i-mate JASJAR is the USB modem driver. I have attached it here as a ZIP archive. In it you'll also find the PDF with instructions on how to use the driver.
Hope this is what you're looking for.

Then you need Active Sync (Windows 2000/XP) or Mobile Device Center (Vista/7) which are free downloads from Microsoft.

Sorry, I don't have access to the CD myself right now, but I'm wondering if it would be of any help to you as it only contains the following four things:
1. Active Sync 4.0 (will not run under Windows Vista)
2. Microsoft Outlook 2002 (fully licensed and needs a product key)
3. USB Modem Driver
4. Manuals in PDF format.
Active Sync here
