my first thread...
i did a search for the exe and found problems and trouble shooting to various aspects of the exe. i know its linux related. its a facilitator.
question... why did it suddenly show up in my device storage???
it appeared after a radio flash and pagepool change(related i believe), plus a few intallations of cab and desktop installers(unrelated i believe).
any info and background will be and always is greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
I have been successfully making good use of all the great info to be found on this website - thanks to everyone for all the contribution!
But I seem to be stuck with customizing ExtRom. I used TotalCommander and the VirtualDisk plug-in to modify a ExtRom image. All seemed to work fine except that the phone sees the filenames in the old dos 8.3 format. They list as DEFAULT1~, DEFAULT2~, etc... And the phone does not appear to load them after a cold-boot. TotalCommander shows the names in full length and I hunted through all the settings for a reason. Perhaps this is not even the reason why the phone wont load it...?
Can someone that has done this successfully help point me in the right direction?
Qtek S110
ROM 1.112 WWE
Radio 1.13
ExtRom 1.112
I'm sorry for being so loud, but I've seen a few "progress pages" in Wikis and I still can't get a clear picture of who (if anyone) is actually working on linux for the HTC Magician (Qtek s100, iMate Jam, Dopod xxx, etc.).
I found this project:
http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~zabel/magician/README
and it appears to be very very promising; it already delivers some small functionality on the magician (I've tried it). But there is much much work to do before it can be released to the general public.
In general, I don't think there are many people working to get the Magician on Linux...
So I am asking here: are you working on this? do you know who is working on this?
I am a SW developer by trade, but I have no time at home to code.
However, I would like to give whatever little time I can find to:
- act as a beta tester;
- develop one or two patches (kernel mostly);
so we can get Linux running on the Magician.
Thank you.
Hi,
This doese indeed look promising.
I have no qualifications in software etc, but i do like fiddling with linux -).
I too would be a beta tester.
So is anyone working on this?
Hi. As vnevoa found out, I am working on the Magician when I find the time.
Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there is no-one else currently working on this. So developers are needed!
For people interested in kernel hacking, there is the [email protected] mailing list and the #htc-linux IRC channel on freenode.net
The biggest missing parts currently are battery control, sound and the phone.
For everyone else, any improvements to the Magician wiki pages would be more than welcome. To build a proper userspace image for the Magician, support for this machine in OpenEmbedded has to be improved.
Wow!
That haret thingy is wonderfull.
What is the current state of the version for the Magician? Does it boot to GPE?
This is a great thing, really. No need to flash a new firmware, and boot linux! Amazing. I'm using Linux on ipaq and it is very nice. But I would miss phone operation. With haret we can have both things running.
Good work. Has anyone tested USB host on magician under linux?

USB host works, but it is not connected to the usb plug.
The bluetooth chipset is a CSR usb chip.

does that mean, usbnet is not possible? in my case, nothing happens if i connect the magician to my computer. dmesg and lsusb say nothing about a new device. insmodding usbnet doesnt help either. tried the same with a htc universal, usbnet works fine on my machine.
[edit]works for now, if connected via external-powered usb-hub. maybe a driver problem? activesync in windows-mobile is possible without using the hub.[/edit]
And if you check the website you can see all teh file you need to download if anyone know a programm for make call/sms/mms or ONLY calls and run on this linux please give information about
ok i try this one in a few and i edit my post when i have test all
ok today the : 28.12.2006
mmmm i have some trouble with extracting the gpe archive it's seem to be corrupted soooo bad.
BUT the first problem it's this famous default.txt the script to run haret if anyone have a working script please copy information here of the .txt file that's can be helpfull.
the error of my default.txt is: Failed to load kernel \carte de stockage\zimage
must i need to rename the zimage file???
and i have a question ... it's possible to make a "bootable" SD? if yes i can try to run another handled linux perhaps???
OK i have found i must rename the magician-zimage-2.6.XXXX to : "zimage"
so i have downlaod latest version of haret and take the default.txt WITHOUT changing
harte start but of course i haven't the gpe file so it's say error BUT it's launch now i must really found a good archive i have try under linux but the archive still in read only i can't change it to read AND write so all i uncompress are still not working under linux it's better on windows don't know why .....
(mmm risk to brick my magician if i try another gpe file .......)
and of course: sorry for my bad english
now i edit the post when i have MORE important news
Okay so im new here and i dont know exactly where this post should go but im putting it here anyways. i just got my at&t tilt and i love it, but im having trouble putting applications on it. I download the apps to my computer and unzip them but then i dont know what to do. the only app i was able to put on my phone was kaisertweaks and im not even sure how i manged to do that. just please give me like a step by step because i am soo confused. thanks a bunch
Heya,
the first thing i would recommend is the Kaiser Wiki - there are a lot of useful informations for you and all important links for that device.
There are two versions of installers - desktop installers which you start on your computer (xp, vista or what ever...) they will be installed via active sync on your device. The other ones are cabs (i prefer them because i don't want useless files on my desktop computer), these files are meant to run on your PDA,
just copy the cab to your device, locate it with file explorer and click - the setup will start. In the Hermes wiki is a little description about CAB-files, maybe also useful for you (btw: Hermes isn't your PDA, you're device is Kaiser...! )
HTH
Hello iam new to WM, and i have a question...

MOD EDIT: MESSAGE PARTIALLY REMOVED, THIS IS A WARNING: PLACE NICE OR YOU WILL BE SENT ON A VACATION FROM XDA
But to answer your question directly, no, you can't install PC software on a WinMo device.
@emesbe
FIRST OF ALL FLAMING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN THE Q&A SECTION
@rossari0
no you cannot load programs designed for windows vista or windows xp on your ppc it is a differen operating system.
Some progams like the sims are available in a different version for your ppc. You will just need to do a search for what you are looking for. Here is a link to a freeware site to which you can download some apps for your phone (i can assure you though that diablo isn't on the list )
My apologies. It will not happen again.
oops. wrong post.
Dear,
I am new on this forum therefore I do apologyze if I am posting at the wrong place
I have a nearly no name GPS (Magnum PND 2735) with Navigon on it.
It has Windows CE 5.0 on it (some references if it can help/ 00039-267-519-955 and X11-1532).
On the internet I found a program called MioPocket (MP, I can't post a link here, google will find it easyly for you). It allows you to get acces to the OS of your GPS and also allows to use other GPS programs (with a handy user interface).
Now I first used an older version of it with no problem. Then I installed the latest version and I had some troubles with some softwares so I decided to remove it again an reinstall it. Unfortunately it must have gone wrong; Now the GPs does not start, I have the startup screen working and then nothing starts. I suppose some drivers must have been deleted.
Now I have acces to my GPS with a USB cable to my computer. I have acces to the root of the GPS (Windows) but a lot of files are secured.
I have a friend with exactly the same GPS. He copied a maximum of files (able to copie) for me but it didn't work.
As a lot of files a locked I looked out for a rom file but did not find one. After a lot of research I found this friendly forum. I know my problem has not to do with HTC phones but the solution might be the same.
I would like to know if it would be possible (and how) to make a rom file from the OS on my friend's GPS and then how to install it to my GPS.
Is there specific software requested? Is there a procedure on how to make a rom file from a mobile device? Is it possible to make a rom file from any mobile device?
I do hope anyone can help me, I was so happy with my GPS.
First of all I thank everyone on this forum, you are all friendly and helpful.
