Started to mess about with this earlier today, finally got the damn thing to work Turns out it is quite easy..
First, to get one thing straight, this will only boot the kernel, it will dump you at a shell which you have to remotely log on to via telnet over usb. There will be some (not so) fancy text appearing on your phone's screen but that is about it. Also, it only works on unlocked phones.
This is what you get:
On your computer you'll get this:
Cool, huh? Btw, this is running from a memory card, your OS will be untouched so as soon as you reboot the phone it will boot right back into WM2003/5/6.
1. What you need
* A HTC Typhoon running any rom of your choice (I did it on WM6).
* A miniSD memory card
* A Linux distro - I downloaded the Ubuntu Live CD and ran it through VMWare, no need to install anything or reboot your computer.
* miniSD image of Xanadux - this is the linux port for HTC devices. Grab the latest version here: http://rapidshare.com/files/92218185/Linux.zip.html
(these files are extracted from the miniSD image file found here: http://vivien.chappelier.free.fr/typhoon/download.html)
2. How to run linux on the Typhoon
1. Instead of installing linux properly on your phone which requires partitioning of the internal memory etc (a lot can go wrong) we'll put it on the memory card then a Windows Mobile program called HaRET will boot linux for us from WinCE. Completely non invasive in other words.
This bit is dead easy, just extract the Linux.zip file you just downloaded and copy the files to the root of your memory card (must be memory card, can't do this from the internal memory afaik). Next, go to the File Explorer on your phone and find the file HaRET.exe. Run it then press the run button (this button has focus when you execute HaRET.exe so just press the joystick when the windows appears) and you will see a message saying "Booting linux", then after a few seconds your screen will go black and some text will appear.
Voila! That's linux running on your phone!
2. Connect to the phone via telnet
If read the last line of text that appeared on screen you'll see that it says "Press enter to activate this console" but no matter what buttons you press on the phone nothing happens, some gibberish appears but that's it.
Solution: telnet to the phone from your computer.
Get Ubuntu to boot on your computer, then go to Applications->Accessories and run the Terminal. Next type in the following commands:
Code:
modprobe cdc_ether
modprobe usbnet
ifconfig usb0 up 192.168.9.1
and finally
Code:
telnet 192.168.9.10
Login with username root and you'll find yourself at a shell like the screenshot above. Everything you see from now on is coming linux from your phone!
I've noticed that Xanadux doesnt always initialise the USB port unless it is connected via USB when booting up so make sure you always have your phone connected via USB when you run HaRET.
Now I'm going to try to figure out how to get the GSM module to work...
LINUX based ROM??
Hi shandar,
I have read your post and I am interested to know if you are cooking a LINUX based ROM that will run in a WIndows Mobile device? That would be too good to be true.
Also another question is do you need to have Linux running on your desktop to make this tutorial work?

Hey, well, I don't know enough to make a linux rom for smartphones. I'd love a working linux distro for Typhoons & Windows Mobile phones in general but it is way out of my league unfortunately.
Btw, I probably should clarify that I only wrote the tutorial, the actual linux port is made by someone else.
i've been trying to find who is working on this project?
whats the updates?
where are the updates??
i have found only old post and threads about this
and old download links.
I am working on the kernel, but we need some more people for userspace support (be that android, openmoko, or just plain and simple angstrom images - making dialer and sms applications etc. work). The best place to get current information about linux on magician is the #htc-linux IRC channel on freenode.net.
cool
ok cool i dont have much time to dedicate now as i'm involve with other projects i may be able to help you with userlands at the end of the year i pm you when i'm ready
really excited about this
This project has died ? or?

nope just lacking someone for the userland
ph5 is working on the kernel
How is the kernel going i would like so see linux run on magican
check
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369149
something going on there
lock n' load marines ;-)
I know my way around tweaking/hacking HW to get working under linux...
did to few times back with some stuff on adestop PC.
1. I need a running kernel
2. A terminal
3. SDK and IDE for userland tools (GNU suite)
4. A ipk repository to leech from
5. duded and fellows of all sorts
6. time
Already done for the 1 and partly for the 2
shall we?
progress
although i liked qtopia better, i put that Armostrong thingie (foun in the tmp folder of our ftp server here...
The kernel is 2.6.21 hh20
1. and it boots to the gui
2. it let make me calls (777 answered right)
3. it shows incoming calls (although won't pick up the hook)
4. It begun showing messages (half way through upgrade)
5. It has ateminal and a touch type keyboard (querty lol)
6. it let me define usb0 network device
7. It let me log in via ssh as root (pasword is empty: just hit enter)
then i fiddled with the ipkg tool:
I managed to let it run trough squid proxy when i couldn't make it route...
file: /etc/ipkg.conf
Code:
# Must have one or more source entries of the form:
#
# src <src-name> <source-url>
#
# and one or more destination entries of the form:
#
# dest <dest-name> <target-path>
#
# where <src-name> and <dest-names> are identifiers that
# should match [a-zA-Z0-9._-]+, <source-url> should be a
# URL that points to a directory containing a Familiar
# Packages file, and <target-path> should be a directory
# that exists on the target system.
# Proxy Support
#option http_proxy http://proxy.tld:3128
#option ftp_proxy http://proxy.tld:3128
option http_proxy http://172.31.0.3:3128
option ftp_proxy http://172.31.0.3:3128
#option proxy_username <username>
#option proxy_password <password>
# Offline mode (for use in constructing flash images offline)
#option offline_root target
dest root /
lists_dir ext /var/lib/ipkg
172.31.0.3:3128 is the URL of my proxy - edit as appropriate before storing to the sd card
If all goes well i promise...
... i make an image (128MB) of the whole SD card i used...
;-)
Ah harrr sharky
a thought beastie this one !
got to see the end of the upgrade of ipkg and got the device hang...
another hard reset ahoy
:-(
see if it boots again?
(stay tuned...)
at least it boots...
no X this time ?
just the blank screen...
have to troubleshoot
???? got a funny menu on the screen and couldn't get pass it?
boy a wish someone here had any clue

it seems it has problem with default calibration:
the X appears but the calibrator fails :-(
EDIT:
nope, it was DBUS - failing to start due of missing users!
was a bit offline these days my magician is broken some stupid chip burn out after years of good service i ve sent it to taiwan for repair but i have little hope
i ll see if i can buy another one on ebay these days
we should talk on irc one of these days cest73 (althought i am usually online at weird hours)
elivildarkknight,
Im +01h off Greenwich, so we shall try it?
OTOH:
the main issue regarding useable Liunx is:
1. A fast hard-reset able ROM (bare 2003SE) [i don't have now]
2. A SD card reader [i have]
3. A decent image of a working kernel [have the 2.6.21 hh20 of Armstrong's 2008.1]
4. A way to make magician respond to a ssh log in upon USB connect [i seek the way right now]
5. A decent userspace stack able to bring all magician's HW to life [once we can make it 'network']
6. A decent environment before the X or any WM is started for fallback [this can be done IMHO]
7.
try to get in touch with phillip zabel he is working on the kernel and can help you on the image there is a working qtopia image floating around you can try to see the config they used for the display and other stuff a booting kernel with an image on sd should be ok for a start
the developers of blueangel also may help i ll try to see who is working on there image
i'm at +5 GMT the main problem is that i have few free time because of exams and real life
my magician is going to Taiwan for repair now so i m left with the hermes right now
will be happy to help you anyways
in april i'll be more on irc try to keep us update on your work
roger to that
ok
we shall take the time then...
i thought about a ncurses based teminal keyboard emulation controlled with the jog dial...
continued troubleshooting for magician...
it appears i miss the calibration procedure somehow
As i can't use it as a normal phone under moko yet, i'm limited for how long i'm able to play with it...
I will try again today to get at least something launched over that X...
I somehow like more the QT stack?
progress report...
My distro is Slackware so i found this:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking#Slackware_.28tested_with_12.1.29
Does not even work, but the page was useful:
When i connect the Magician while running Linux, i get to a terminal and become root:
Code:
# dmesg
there i see that usb0 is now available:
Code:
usb0: unregister 'cdc_subset' usb-0000:00:1d.1-2, Linux Device
usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 19
usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
usb0: register 'cdc_subset' at usb-0000:00:1d.1-2, Linux Device, 16:ce:a6:75:bd:58
usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0525, idProduct=a4a2
usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 3-2: Product: RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget
usb 3-2: Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.21-hh20/pxa27x_udc
so i manually bring up the usb0 from my host:
Code:
# ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200
# ifconfig usb0 up
# ping 192.168.0.202 -c4
PING 192.168.0.202 (192.168.0.202) 56(84) bytes of data.

You have to know the rest for the routing to the internet to be successful...
i hope this helps a bit?
adding the parameter
Code:
psplah=false
to the default.txt:
Code:
set KERNEL zImage
set CMDLINE "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 console=tty0 rootdelay=1"
bootlinux
to be:
Code:
set KERNEL zImage
set CMDLINE "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 console=tty0 rootdelay=1 [U]psplah=false[/U]"
bootlinux
disables the nice spalsh screen while boot-up, allowing one to see why the darn thing is hanging...

My questions:
1) is there a form to load android from Windows Embedded CE 6? If not,
2) how can i replace windows embedded CE 6 with android?
As far as I know, ROMs are device-specific, so You just can't flash a random device with random ROM. You need a ROM that's specifically cooked for that specific device.
That being said, I am not familiar with Haret. And I could be wrong

BUMP... a year later, there has to be some more info. On this? I'm looking to do the exact same thing. How about running Android from the SD? Any additional info, it links will help. Thanks
i also ahve a 4` Chinese YF intl GPS ...
can some one port an android build into that ...
very eager to delete wince 5
hello , i`m looking to do the same but i didnt find out yet ?
Bump again
These Chinese GPS units are everywhere and they are cheap as hell. Would buy one today if we could get Andriod running on them. The WinCE Roms are readily available on GPSPassion Forum and
austech.info/gps/40751-chinese-gps-firmware-thread.html
They aren't the experts on the Windows platform that those on this site are. Seems like it should be simple for those that know?
I'm looking for the solution too. I think that topic will grow. I will try today some tricks on my china device, and try to report effects.
Hello,
Any thoughts on this?
I too would like to see Android on my "generic" Chinese HU

Can't count how many threads started to this topic here at XDA. If you'ld have read them all carefully you'ld have noticed that it's not possible to replace WinCE by Android. All you could try is to get a dual-boot solution up and running. And even this I failed to do so, because couldn't find an Android version that matches the techn. specs of an WinCE ( navigation ) device.
True, Thanks

Hate to necro-bump, but I bought one of these chinese gps units.
There is an android icon which boots what I can only guess is an android emulator within WinCE 6.
This gives full android functionality running in parallel with the wince interface. In fact, the units GPS runs on the android emulated part (iGo)
I can extract files somehow and post for you guys if someone tells me how (know nothing about wince)
there should be some way of putting windows explorer for wince on your sd card and launching it. From there perhaps you could copy the android launch app onto the sd card?
Hi I'm trying to get other OS's to Intel Atom Baytrail-T Windows 8.1 tablet, and so far I have managed to get the following booted to the desktop:
Ubuntu and variation(all)
Puppy Linux Slackware
So I'm asking why you don't make a LiveUSB image, so people can try before installing - not every HW in the world is compatible, so wasting time on installing only to find out that you HW is not compatible could give this OS a bad rep..
Also, something that are not very clear on your homepage: After install, how do you install app's? I don't see Google Play store mentioned anywhere.
With kind regards
JBJ
EDIT: HW spec here incl. the parts I found in linux:

The iso can be burned to a USB and run as a live session. I'm confused. Not really sure what it is you are asking. Also, the current version has some incompatibly with Baytrail devices. There is an Alpha version out for that, though.
I don't have any experience with those devices but I think @Vioner and @greatbal do. Maybe one of them can chime in.
Play store is in the app drawer in Google folder.
I'll test Phoenix OS USB on my Baytrail device and get back to you.
@bg260 - It is not clear in the description that it can be burned as a LiveUSB - thats why I asked - it says that it can be made as bootable USB installer. I'm not interested in installing it on the internal storage right now, I wanted to run it from the USB first to see if all HW got recognized, and if rotation were working.
In Linuxium and Puppy Linux Slacko I could not get sound or rotation to work - still working on that.
@Vioneer - Cool I will wait

Oh OK. I thought you were referring to the iso that I created.
Here you go. I made this for you. It is an Alpha release. Baytrail compatible to a point . Very hush, hush......so you didn't get it from me
Remember this is only for testing please feel free to report issues, but it is not intended to be a fully functioning system yet.

Hi bg260, thank you for the .iso, unfortunately it ends up in grub> prompt on boot - just like the official version do.
Do you have some suggestions on how to boot this?
Could it be because I used unetbootin to make the usb?
Also I like to have persitence on this, could I just take a clean casper-rw of 3.9GB and rename it to data.img?
With kind regards
JBJ
Ps: I'm in Linux(Xubuntu 14.04 LTS) and don't have windows on my laptop(never going back to windows).

So that I'm clear, is your intention to install to HDD? Or are you wanting a permanent install to USB. If the latter, I have no idea, to install to HDD there are several ways to do it. Mostly by unpacking iso straight to partition and the invoking the insmod command.
That's just Phoenix putting grub.cfg in wrong place. It needs to be in EFI:/boot/grub/grub.cfg
I'll try to get a better response within 1-2days.
Hi, I like to test it from the liveusb first(thats why persistence file) then later install on the internal storage of my tablet(removing windows and recovery partition, but leaving 100mb bootloader partition). So far I got linuxium 16.04 and 16.10 to boot(with nomodeset Kernel mode setting) and run where touchscreen, wi-fi and bluetooth work, but rotation, sound don't work. Puppy Linux Slacko boots(with i915.modeset=0) but wi-fi, sound and bluetooth is not working.
I like to keep my options open and get the best OS with the least footprint, but with working HW - it's a 16GB tablet where windows takes up 90% of the space and leaves 3GB free. Not even enough to install ubuntu or android. Thats why I'm looking into alternative ways of testing it.
My main OS is Peach OSI(xubuntu 14.04 LTS) and I don't have windows. So please take in mind this with any answers I got mkusb, unetbootin, live USB installer and dd utility for copying .iso to usb(but dd is not good as it limits the free space on the usb to the size of the .iso). For the life of me, I don't understand why people still makes .iso that needs Fat32, when we have so many other bootable filesystems that can handle -> 4GB .

I here rumors of people running Phoenix OS from an Sdcard.
Hi, I made the usb stick with uNetbootin and created new folders named /boot/grub/ - Copied grub.cfg to the /boot/grub folder and got it to boot to menu where I could choose to try phoenix or install. After choosing Try Phoenix it boots but after finding phoenix on /dev/sda1 the screen goes black. I tried:
nomodeset vga=788
nomodeset
i915.modeset=0
with all these it goes a bit further, but after "detecting phoenix" and "Android" written on the screen there are just a blinking cursor and no more. It's stuck.
It must be something missing or wrong with the boot parameters.
Can you help me get this boot all the way?

EDIT:
I since tried using nomodeset xforcevesa and dd utilty, mkusb and liveusb installer(like pendrive linux) same thing happens, Android x86 flashes and black screen with blinking cursor and stuck there.
Must be something wrong with the image.
It boots on my Z3740 BayTrail-T tablet after putting grub.cfg in the right place.
Did you have the nomodeset and vga= in the file by default?
Have you tried without these? I boot fine. Also without i915.modeset=0 - this disables Intel gpu
And all you're interested in is the EFI:/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Nothing more.

Ok, lets start from an end
1. how do make your usb, which tool / which OS?
2. Could you post your grub.cfg?
3. could you post the iso you are using - just to make sure its not a problem with the image?
From the start "my" grub.cfg only had vga=788 - that booted to black screen with no cursor and hanged.
Only if I use kernel mode setting parameters will it continue to boot and I get all the way until it has to switch to loading the desktop and here it stops after printing Android x86 and then black screen with blinking cursor. This basically has happened on all android versions I tried - I never get to the desktop.
The Z3735E cpu is suppose to be able to run android as this were the intended OS when the cpu were made.
Intel cancelled their own android version for this cpu and it is no longer to be found, and it were based on 2.1 - so not really up to date.
With kind regards
JBJ
I just found out that allot of other people have had problems with apha version. Also, that at the blinking cursor if I press Enter it shows that I'm actually at the android prompt [email protected]:/ #
Just downloaded the latest .iso from the homepage and of course it still has no boot folder - I take from your post above that this is a common problem.
Also, after adding the boot/grub/grub.cfg and booting get the correct menu, choose Try Phoenix... - black screen without blinking cursor. This is on a different class 10 usb 3.0 stick.
Same thing with nomodeset vga=788
But with nomodeset vga=791 which is 1024x768 24bit I get to the prompt again.
"#¤%%&&T&//"@
How do you login to android from prompt?
Update: replacing quiet with acpi=off and adding nomodeset vga=795 (1280x1024) to the end of the kernel parameter line makes this go beyond detecting Phoenix OS and actually start loading it - Very slowly - a whole lot of ............................... on the screen. Once in a while the light go out and I have to press ctrl to see what is going on.
How about you guys make the loading a bit faster, I run this from USB 3.0 class 10. Ubuntu and Puppy linux, loads way faster than this one.
Regarding the black screen, if would seem that on these tablets the brightness is reversed, so instead of starting up with max brightnes you start up with no brighness at all, and isnce tablet don't have keyboard with fn key its extremely difficult to adjust brighness while booting. A helpful kernel parameter would be nice.
Problem is very old and is described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=712180
UPDATE:
One and a half hour later still loading.
Never mind I will return to Phoenix when the bugs are fixed - and I have more patience!
I'm right now running Androidx86 6.0 r1 32bit(can also run 64bit) on my tablet with nomodeset as only kernel parameter. It boot right away and the only thing so far that don't work is bluetooth.
So I will call Phoenix OS bad programming!

I know that the .iso I made has worked for quite a few. I'm just throwing this out but, you say it finds phoenix on /dev/sda1.
I have had problems when testing a new build. If i already have Phoenix installed on the hard drive the probe will detect and boot it, even with a live USB. /dev/sda1 should not be the USB unless you have no Hard disk installed. Should be /dev/sdb1 or sdc1. I'm wondering if you have phoenix grub installed in a hidden sector. Try
Code:
sudo dd
I'm assuming from your experience that you know the power of that command. It will write zeros over the partition. Hidden sectors and all.
Please don't post that sda is normally your internal hdd, if you run this command from a linux system then if might break your os.
When running Phoenix from USB on the tablet, the USB becomes sda1 because the tablet use GPT and not MBR.
As stated above, androidx86 booted into the desktop with the nomodeset, unfortunately that also put the tablet in low graphic mode.
I have installed phonix os via exe file then click reboot.
On 1st boot it was showing be only black screen and nothing coming up. So I forcefully restrat it. Then it showing be me this screen.

Stuck also on boot: cannot detect the phoenix
Hello, I am trying to install phoenix as a dual boot on an HP X2. I have downloaded the latest version from the website (64bit version) and it installs normally on the hard drive. At reboot, I went to the BIOS and disabled the secure boot (it is UEFI boot by the way). I then restarted and I get the dual boot option. I select phoenix and I get the "Detecting Phoenix OS prompt, only that I got dots that populate the entire screen (I even let it run overnight with no luck).
I then tried to install phoenix onto a SDHC 16GB thumb drive. Install went fine but at boot, the BIOS does not have the option to boot on SD card, only on USB. So, I placed the SDHC card onto a USB adapter and it boots onto the SDHC via USB but I have the same issue: I got dots that populate the entire screen.
Any idea of what I could do to be able to install it? I want it on my drive.
Thanks.
PC is: HP 10-p018wm (walmart edition of HP pavilion X2).

Edit : i'm using the latest version of phoenix os
I am also experiencing boot issues with Phoenix OS. I've also tried RemixOS and Bliss. All show the same issue. I'm using a Lenovo Yoga 920.
Trying to think outside of Android, specifically, I started looking at compatibility with Linux in general and the Yoga device. It looks like (and I could be wrong here...pretty new to Android_x86) the kernel needs to be up to v. 4.15. (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums...Special_Interest_Linux/thread-id/10264/page/2)
If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to testing.
I got mine to boot by editing the grub file, adding nomodeset and editing vga to vga=ask then picking the 1024x768 32 bit option. Anything else and it won't pass the terminal.

So, is that located in "C:\Program Files\phoenixstart\config"? In that folder, I see grub.cfg and grub-64.cfg. Since I'm on a 64 bit OS, I assume it's the grub-64.cfg that I need to modify.
Finally, I just want to make sure I have the parameters set properly. Can you please verify the line I am changing is from this:
linux /EFI/PhoenixOS/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 SRC=/PhoenixOS vga=788

I am also unsure if I can set my BIOS to legacy. I'll have to double check.

It doesn't look like modifying the file(s) in "C:\Program Files\phoenixstart\config" had any impact. To test which file was being read, I changed the timeouts on both from the default timeout of 5 seconds to 10 and 15. When I rebooted, the countdown was still 5, so there is another file somewhere else that's being read.
There was an option to change the parameters from GRUB. I went into that and modified it to have the nomodeset and vga=ask, however, that didn't do it for me.
Going to try going into the BIOS to see if I can get it changed to legacy. I'll let you know how it goes.

It'd be in the hidden ESP partition. I'd test with just adding nomodeset by editing the entry before it boots [e on grub menu]

find --set-root /PhoenixOS/kernel
kernel /PhoenixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 REMOUNT_RW=1 SRC=/PhoenixOS quiet nomodeset vga=ask
initrd /PhoenixOS/initrd.img
boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It didn't boot. However, looking at your grub entry...it looks completely different. Here's my whole grub entry for PhoenixOS:
menuentry "Phoenix OS" {
search --set=root --file /EFI/PhoenixOS/kernel
linux /EFI/PhoenixOS/kernel quiet nomodeset root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 SRC=/PhoenixOS vga=ask
initrd /EFI/PhoenixOS/initrd.img
}
Would you mind posting your whole grub entry for PhoenixOS?
