Hmmm...

don't think its a sim lock... it says the good old 'Unlock' on the bottom, leaving me unable to do anything. Even when there's no sim inserted, I'm not able to do anything...

I think its a keylock or screenlock of some kind...

Thanks anyway!

I'll try it tonight, but I'm quite sure it won't do the trick, I'm afraid...

Any other thoughts are still welcome...

DOMy,

I'm trying to get into the OPIE-II installation, but I cannot seem to 'unlock'...

I tried with several other 'base' roms, wm6.1 was on, but went back to WM6 and WM5 just to test... all the same.

I can get, I don't know how, it just pops up from time to time, a dialboard, leaving me with nothing than 'emergency calls' that are possible, but the unlock 'button' or text does not help me...

I can go to 'help', but not into the normal usage of the OPIE software...

What else can I try?

With or without the SIM in it, it gives me this... so I don't think it's sim-pin or sim-lock related. In WM I can dial and use gprs without any problems...

Thanks for the help...

Looks super!

I have mention this several times.

In wince disable pincode and you are on. Qtopia/OPIE2 will not start without a Sim card, so removning your sim card wouldnt work.

Also the OPIE2 image is old, i will remove it from the server. Use Qtopia instead
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
No i wouldnt innclude gcc in to my images.

If you want to crosscompile do it on yor computer, it will be time efforting to compile on universal.

You can get a crosscompiler from codesourcery.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bkortleven:
OK, the 'disable pin' in wince did the 'unlock' go away...

But now, all of a sudden, the touchscreen function doesn't work anymore, what worked before the sim pin disabling...

I'm almost there, I can feel it :d:d

Looks very promising!

Thanks for the help, and sorry about the re-requesting of the way to get around it... I didn't find a clear clue to change the pin, except for the whole 'reprogram radio' stuff I had as a reply ... which I found a bit too big as a solution to what looked as a small issue...

Now the touchscreen, and we're off!

wireless g

Hi Domi,

Loox 720, several ipaq's and several sharp zaurus pda's are better supported with linux and have supported cf-card-slot, where you can insert wlan cards, I heard about nokia n800 to be able to do wireless security testing too.

greets
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] domi007:
Thank you for your answer, but i've done a very big research, and the Universal is the PDA, that I want to get. The two most important reason are: the QWERTY keyboard, and: this is my favourite, the best...

The QWERTY keyboard is very important for me...and the cpu is enough fast, etc...

By the way, your name is: debian-on-universal: how can I manage debian to a Universal? Because, there are very good pentest-tools on debian.org for arm architecture.

Nokia N800: very good for penetration testing (Linux OS), but the WiFi card is not capable for injection, and the price, you know....too much.

But Thank You for your Post!

The question is right open now: Is it possible to see/use G-hotspots with Universal under linux? If someone can try this for me, it will be great.

DOMy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bkortleven:
As far as I know, the Universal, in-se, has only 802.11b as wifi, so 802.11g is out of the question without hardware mod/add-on.

What you can try is this: several wifi b/g sdio cards come with onboard 256/512MB flash. Try to get hold of one of those, put it in the Uni, and have a Linux distro on the sd flash... then see if the wifi on the same card comes up...

I think this is the only way of getting wifi-g on the Uni... or I must have read/interpreted the Tech Specs in a wrong way...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] domi007:
Yes, yes, you read it well. In UNI you can find only a B wifi-adaptor.

But:

In windows, you can change a registry-value, and then the Uni can communicate as a G device, but of course with B speed (max 11Mbit/s).

So my question is:

Is there any software hack for our Uni, under Linux, which can change the identity of the device from B to B/G?

Thanks!

DOMy

I have used my universal on g-spot. Should work just fine AFAIK.

And btw in linux i have had universal working with 22Mbit/s (though it where unstable).

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aes512:
I have a Universal running GPE / x11 2.6.21 and the card likes to stop working quite often, especially in monitor mode. Has anyone else experienced this? If so is there a fix?

Hi,

Thank You for the answers. Yes, the TexasInstruments TNET1100B is capable for 22Mbit/s, and now I know, that it is able to connect to G networks.

So, Thank You once more!

The problems with the card: i'm not sure, but perhaps you can compile the latest stable version of the acx100 driver (http://acx100.sourceforge.net). Or you can update your kernel version: newer kernel means probably newer driver too.

And I read also some topics, about problems with Uni's wifi chip-you can read them too.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
There arent any fix to the acx driver for htcuniversal yet. As i said i have no idea whne it will appear.

seattleweb:

If you just do a search before asking you will find a lot of info about linux on universal. At least read the WIKI before asking questions. I am so tired of repeating my self here at this forum.

The latest kernel from handhelds.org is 2.6.21-hh21 . But for universal there hasent been any big changes since 2.6.16 i think.

There exist some pathces though, but they cant be put upstream yet because they might affect other devices. They needs to be cleaned up before putting them upstream.

I also read something something you wrote about other devices that had better linux support than universal. There are only two devices that you listed up that have better support than universal, and that is hx4700 and h4000 r(and zaurus of course, but thoose are old now) rest of them doesnt. And btw, non of them have hone support.

So still htcuniversal is the one that has best linux support, at least with the non upstream patches.

I will create a new Qtopia image for it soon, but i wait until rotation is working, i just dont want all the complaining about missing stuff in the images.

In fact new Qtopia images has gotten a lot add ons since last time.

in example, filemanager, suspend/resume pone, terminal and so on. I have also included some gps apps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aes512:
Believe me I have, and the wiki isn't very updated :(

is hh21 a typo? the latest I see is hh20:confused: If not, where is an hh21 image?

Also, is there an older image that has a stable driver for the acx or are they all unstable?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] domi007:
seattleweb:

Actually:

You have problems only in monitor mode?

In a normal use, there are no problems?

If yes, than you have driver problems. You can try to use your card in managed mode: it is better than monitor, and probably more stable too.

DOMy

One of the problems I found with it is that there isn't documentation on that page on how to boot the zImage. From other research, I find that I need a default.txt file to include with haret.

Which haret needs to be used?

Which partition(s) and should zImage, default.txt and haret go in?

What should the contents of default.txt read when following this guide?

None of this is on the UniversalKernel page, and it makes it difficult to figure out.

This one is fantastic! =)

My goal is to get a stable acx100 driver on the newest possible kernel. I've checked out the latest version and it compiles fine for me, but when i try to compile it with a new acx driver, I get several error pointing to the mem.c file and 2) I cant boot it because of the lack of documentation on the UniversalKernel page, and other attempts I have made have failed using other default.txt files I have found.

I was under the impression that the zImage needs to go in an ext2(ext3) partition, but when when i point it to the partition (tried /dev/mmcblk0p2, /dev/mmc/blk0/part2, etc), get an error stating that zImage can't be found in the directory.

When I put zImage in the FAT directory where haret is, my screen fades to a blank screen and I have to soft reset.

I wanted to say thanks to goxboxlive for all your hard work. I am currently a Sharp Zaurus (C1000) user and I bought a T-Mobile MDA Pro in hopes of having to use one less device. Unfortunately after getting OpenMoko and QTopia running on my MDA Pro (1Gig SD card good, 2Gig SD card bad) I have to say that it isn't quite there yet. But I know it will get there eventually because there are some good people working on it, and the MDA Pro (AKA HTC Universal) is some damn fine hardware.

Anyway, besides saying thanks I wanted to ask what the best way to be notified when you release a new image? I am not a linux newbie and I would be happy to help test new versions.

Re: Sluggish keyboard after suspend

The sluggish keyboard problem is caused by the KPKDI (key debounce) register getting reset to the default 100ms when the machine is suspended. WM must set it to a lower value.

If the keyboard is annoying anyone else, grab devmem2 from http://wiki.neilandtheresa.co.uk/Titchy_Linux?action=AttachFile and run:

devmem2 0x41500048 byte 0x20

Caution: devmem2 writes directly to RAM, and can break stuff.

Yakuake

goxboxlive,

Thanks again for your hard work. I just noticed on the QTopia website that they recently released a new beta version of 4.4, and among other things it now includes webkit. So maybe that's why the web browser options have been limited up until now since webkit is a pretty good browsing solution. Perhaps this new version will also resolve the screen rotation issue as well. I did a little googling and I came across Yakuake, which is a terminal application that supposedly compiles and runs under QTopia 4.

Anyway, I am looking forward to trying out your next release. I am anxious to start using my universal on a daily basis, but I need at least a usable terminal (and SSH) for work or else the bulk is not worth it to me. If you need some beta testing please let me know.
