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? 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

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?
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.
Has anyone got a version that works on the Touch-Dual, i have tried the Polaris version but it crashes while booting, i posted the following in a different forum and was basically told to ask again here.
Anyone got any idea how to get this (Android) working on the HTC Touch Dual (Niki)? I downloaded the latest Polaris package and put all of the files on the root of my memory card. I closed ActiveSync and disconnected from the computer then without editing any of the files i run Haret, this boots into Linux but sticks on the line
[ 1.510565] Polaris kbd open_
I have had a very old version running but its really is probably the first image that was released and its pretty useless, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have the solution to put wifi in Android 2.2 of Schlunds, the problem is in the process "htcUPCTLoader.exe" not allowed to continue with the process.
The assignment of IP must be static, do not get the IP automatically
Here I leave kernel with the new install

hey thanks man
maybe u will find a fix for derefas sd card fix too?
Does not work for me. The zImage and Module are exactly the same files I use.
The Problem ist not the htcUPCTLoader.exe process.
tzacapaca send me his working 2.2. image and it still dont work for me.
The reason must be something else...
Perhaps bootloader or startup.txt?

After trying the Android images, I had a lot of GPS issues under WinMo (not working anymore). At the end it was fixed, but could it be that the WinMo roms can be of influence on Android?

I start to believe is this...i'm gonna use use Stock ROM and i will keep you posted if it will be any changes
nsourm has a dualbootloader in his ROM
Maybe its better to boot Android not from "within" WinMo.
Can someone test that?

In my case the prob was "htcUPCTLoader.exe" it was not allowing deamon to start..so i had to kill it and then run the run.bat file....
Can u try it this way..??..connecting the Mini with pc..running run.bat...after that killing htcUPCTLoader.exe process in task manager..and then running run.bat file again..??.... it might work....if not..then there's no harm done
I dont need to try. The kernel module file (*.ko) in the image is updated. So the problem (at least for me) is not adb push. must be something different.
Codiak, your not alone. I am also not able to turn WiFi on. Do you get Error when you go to the settings to turn it on? It's like its not picking up the WiFi on the mobile.
The only thing I changed was adding in the run.bat
Code:
taskkill / F / IM htcUPCTLoader.exe
On beginning of everything, to finish the process before starting the adb. I haven't touched anything of the files zImage and adb.exe

Its the same behavior as the fixed module was not installed.
If you tab Wifi, it just grays out and do nothing. No error message.
See, im on the standard ROM. And no matter what I try, I get the same.
Ok, so it not seem to be WiMo ROM related. I use a custom one.
So my last idea is the bootloader (haret)...
Okay everybody, I noticed something:
I could patch the bcm4329.ko file, after android booted. Now you have to restart android in order to enable wlan. Often it happend to me, that an error in the android wifi settings showed up. So I went back to windows mobile and checked my wifi setting there.
As I've also encountered the GPS problem, where one had to switch GPS on and off again in android to make it work in windows again I also tried it with wlan. Before I run haret, I switched off wlan in windows. Now android was able to initialize and start wlan.
Also it was not possible for me to enable wifi, if the usb cable was still connected to the phone before the first successful operation of wlan. Afterwards it surprisingly also worked with a connected cable. Since I'm at work now, I can not test wlan itself, as it is only possible to connect via DCHP here. This evening I'll try to do so with a static IP.
By the way, this dynamic vs. static IP thing is a common problem in froyo. You'll find a lot of discussions in the internet for other devices like samsung galaxy and so on.

It worked, mine no longer displays as error. But I dont have any WiFi's to connect to as im also at work. But it looks much more promising.
Just we need to start looking into getting the battery reconised by Android, having to go into Windows to charge my phone.

Dont work for me My Wifi in WiMo was allready off. I changed it to on and booted Android = no luck. Rebooted to WiMo and disabled Wifi and booted Android again = no luck.
Did you get a error message before while switchig wifi on in android? I do not get a message. it just grays out

Unfortunately there wasn't any precise error message. As you said it only was greyed out with "Fehler" (error) written below the wlan switch. It's strange that there still isn't any solution working for everyone.
For me, no "Fehler" came up. Just grayed out. Same behavior like I never applied the patched module. But i can see the patched .ko file in the phone
I´m using tzacapaca patched ext2 file that works for him...
I'm using the NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA v2.0 ROM on my HTC HD2. But since i've switched to ICS my car kit doesn't recognize my phone anymore.
I have a Volkswagen Passat with a RNS315 navigation system and Bluetooth Premium.
I could connect my phone to my carkit by installing Gingerbread, pairing the phone and install ICS, but since v2.1 and higher my carkit doesn't find the phone anymore (probably because the MAC address for bluetooth has changed). When I make the phone visible and do a search for mobile phones I get the message that no compatible phone has been found. Though it does still recognize the phone as a Media Player. Does anyone has any ideas to make this work? Especially v2.3 of the NexusHD ROM is really interesting now since mute is working!
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Patrick
Starting from ICS, Android no longer supports rSAP protocol (only HFP). Your car kit probably does not support HFP protocol and this is why it is not finding the phone.
Thankfully, there is an app on play store that adds the support back.
First install "Bluetooth SIM Access Install", then "Bluetooth SIM Access (Trial)" or Full version (paid). You can also see instructions on their website: http://www.android-rsap.com
After installing the trial version, my Skoda GSM II car kit (probably same as yours VW) finally recognized HD2 with Paranoid 1.1a ROM.
Maybe you could drive to the nearest dealer, and ask for an update of your carkit system. It would be pretty lame if VW doesn't support Android 4.0.
I'll try to connect the phone using the rsap app. The weird thing is that once it's paired using Gingerbread and then installing Android 4, it still connects. (With the older ROM version though, not with the newer anymore). I don't know if it is the ROM, or if it is ICS.
So I'll try to connect using rsap, and if that doesn't work I'll visit the dealer. Thanks for your replies. I'll let you know the outcome.
I've installed the rSAP app on my phone. Now the carkit indicates I have a premium Bluetooth connection and I get additional functionality. But if I try to find the phone it still indicates that no compatible phone can be found. It must be something else. I'll call the dealer to ask if they have an update..
Btw, I've found the following note in the ROM thread, so I guess it's a general problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27533851&highlight=vw#post27533851
Have you tried to find the car kit from the phone? This is what I did and it worked for me.
In order to do it I had to first make the car kit discoverable. It was only possible when I've connected another Android 2.2 phone, then the car kit showed an additional menu item to set BT visibility. Then I was able to find it on my HD2 and make a pair.

Hi Sqter,
Yes, I've tried that. I can pair with my carkit then, but it will only see the phone as Media Player, not as phone.
In two weeks I will go to the garage for a software update, hope that it will bring some solution. The current ROM i use (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.0) works with the carkit, but as soon as I upgrade to a later version ([9.Jun.2012] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.3), the carkit stops recognizing the phone as a phone..
When I read it the ROM's thread that the phone bluetooth doesn't manifest itself as phone, I think that's a good possibility and I hope that Tytung has time to look into that.
I found the following:
Thanks for this great ROM. However after a clean install of the latest version (I was using version 2.0 before) I could not connect my phone to my Skoda Amundsen carkit. It only recognises the phone as mediaplayer but not as a phone. After searching the internet for a solution I found the following:
The bluetooth configuration is written by ICS in /data/misc/bluetoothd/<device MAC>/config
When you replace the line "class 0x5a0000" by "class 0x5a020c" with a root shell, and rebooted the phone the phone is recognized as a phone.
After applying this setting I found my phone could indeed connect to the carkit and everything works fine.Could you please replace the bluetooth config file in new versions of your ROM?
This works for me!!!!!
I used the terminal emulator. Typed in "su" to get super user access browsed to the directory and edited the file with vi. (vi -> e, browse to line, adjust class to 0x5a020c -> ESC -> :wq. Rebooted the phone. Now the carkit does recognize the phone.
Thanks for your finding. I will also try it out - it seems to be easier solution than the one I had found.
Workaround
Try to edit /data/misc/bluetoothd/<device MAC>/config and replace the line "class 0x5a0000" by "class 0x5a020c" with a root shell
Reboot and enjoy!
This file is generated by ICS at the first boot , but i do note know how...
Workaround
