I have nearly sorted this out, but need one more piece to the puzzle.

Can someone please be kind enough to tell me where the IPL and SPL are stored on the phone.

Is it in the DOC or the External Rom

Thanks in advance:D

If you follow the second link in post 4 this gives you the info required and it does work.

Follow this link and download the ORANGE UK Rom.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs

Put your phone into bootloader and flash HARDSpl then flash the no ID rom and then follow the information provided in post 4 2nd link.

It takes a few attempts but IT does work.

Many thanks to ASRDIAS for working this one out. I am still working on a better solution and will post when available.:D:D:D

Hi men.

Let's talk here about running Ubuntu on our blackstones.

Right now we can boot Ubuntu arm on our blackstones, based on the 'omnibuntu' files. it seems to work well but screen calibration is still difficult...

you can find useful links on the last pages of the android thread (i'm on my blackstone right now and it's difficult to copy and paste all the links) but let's leave the android thread for android...

let's see how far we can get from now :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
FIRST I WANT TO SAY BIG THANKS FOR THOSE WHO HAD MADE GREAT WORK TO BUILD BLACKSTONE LINUX KERNEL!

WITHOUT IT THIS TREE IS NOT TO BE POSSIBLE.

Here is lidle howto because make lidle bit sense to boot ubuntu.

1.First you have to make partitions to your memory card.(WARNING!!!!!! IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA)

-start ubuntu live cd 9.04 in your pc wich you find here:http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ (I think that everyone can burn iso image to cd, but if not just ask)

-in your blackstone go Start-Settings-Connections-USB to PC and select Disk Drive (If you want use activesync you have to change it back to ActiveSync)

-connect your blackstone to pc and make partitions with those instructions witch found here:http://linuxomnia.sourceforge.net/Howto.pdf

2.Second you have to put ubuntu files write places.

-download attachs (fatfiles.zip) and extract to first partition

-download omniubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz here:http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxomnia/files/ and extract it and put files to second partition

3.Boot.

-in blackstone filemanager go to storage card and start haret

-select run and ubuntu will boot

-as fast as you can, move the keyboard lidle bit down because until you can`t calibrate the screen

-when it seems to stop buuting is time calibrate screen

-tap first up left to screen and move up the cross and let off, next make same up right, down right, down left and middle of the screen

This is how i get it works(First i only tap the screen.Second tap i let and hold stylus on the sceen and move it up the cross.In the same way i do to top right....ec.)

-one more tap and that is it

AND AS USUALLY ALWAYS IT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
Start debian installer

You can run debian install by downloading one iso from:http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/arm/iso-cd/ and extract it to second partition wich is ext2 and put attachs and initrd.gz in first partition wich is fat.Initrrd.gz you will find here:http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/armel/images/daily/versatile/netboot/

Also put vmlinuz in second ext2 partition and after all boot installation with haret.I am not yet finished installation.

You can extract iso file with 7zip.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Heefy:
You have nearly 400 views and only 2 replies. I feel that if you are going to keep this thread alive and vibrant with lots of posts you need to layout exactly what it is you are doing because a large number of people have no idea what this is all about and why they should get involved.

Then give very detailed and straight forward instruction on how to install such software, but make the instruction idiot proof.

Consider a description or screenshots to help people grasp your concept.

Thanks and good luck as whatever it is you are doing sounds interesting.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
hi sakkeus.

very interesting, thanks!

a couple of questions:

-which initrd were you using with ubuntu?

-can we use the same ubuntu partitions to run debian?

thanks!

let's keep trying and testing ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
I am myself still checkin out how to use linux in blackstone.

I will make sense instructions abaut what i get out, but it takes lidle time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
None initrd to fat partition.All system files are in second ext2 partition except zimage default.txt and haret.

I think that debian installation needs more room in ext2, but otherwise same parts.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
thanks, sakkeus, but when I try to launch ubuntu using your default, haret says 'couldnt find initrd'. when I remove the initrd line from the default, ubuntu boots well (excepting the screen calibration) so I think ext2 files are ok.that's why I asked.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] 3lixir:
if it works it would be interesting to see if anyone can get Maemo to work on the hd it's the same os used on the Nokia N900 and heavily based on Linux :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jimmiewalker:

Ubuntu MID

Hi, sakkeus.

What do you thing about trying ubuntu MID edition?

Pics here:

http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile

It is distributed as an image file, but if you know how to install it (and which image would be the best) I can give it a try.

Images here:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mobile/releases/hardy/
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
Did you really get fat files from this thread second post because i just chek the default text wich is there and there in no initrd.

I think you should redownload fatfiles from second post.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
Yeah!....................
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jimmiewalker:
wow!

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
You're right... can't understand why, coz I downloaded the files from the phone itself and overwrote everything... :eek: I'll try again.

Yeah!!!!!:D

I found it looking for a good on-screen keyboard, wondering if I should code one... but this looks better:p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Found something than can be useful.

Once in the ubuntu desktop, if you press 'ctrl+alt+del', go to console mode and type 'exit', you go back to the calibration screen.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
This would be useful because it maybe not go well first time.:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Well, in fact, I wasn't able to get it well till now:D but I'll keep trying
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
I have been tried install ubuntu MID edition, but as like debian it not found install files because there is no internet connection.Needed get internet connection works or some how load install files from storage.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pkshr:

phone dialer

I hope so we can add phone dialer to this ubuntu.

Here is something:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483507

Also better keyboard.

I think we can put deb installer files in storage and start with filemanager.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Hehehe, this is beginning to look nice :)

However, the great problem for me is still the screen align, the first topic we should optimize. Sakkeus, could you please describe more accurately how you do it?

I'm sorry I have not experience on drivers, or building linux images. However, I have a lot of experience coding -most of it on graphics-, and I think I could help once the basic setup is done. For example, we could make some things to nautilus that made it more finger friendly... ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
I agree.

I am tryin to find better linux distro (have also find gentoo)

at same time i am gonna get install process to the end.

I think we can boot any distro wich support arm Processor.

I am not wery cood for this "(please describe more accurately)"

so if someone feels like to do howto.Please it will be welcome.

I am gonna think how edit second post more sense.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Well, what I meant was: are you tapping just in the corner of the screen, a litlle bit inside (moreless the cross width) or just where the cross appears?

I tried all that options but never got a calibration accurate enough to be able to open a item from the start menu... did you?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Morden:
Forgive the silly question, but why would you want Ubuntu on your phone? What are the advantages?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jimmiewalker:
maybe i can give a lil help (i hope).

in another forum i read that someone has ported " ubuntu" into tha samsung omnia I900.

so,i saw couple pics shown that,it looks interesting,i found it searching google.

bye!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pitbullthe1st:
Because the hole point of linux is freedom of choice, because you can, because there are no restrictions, because its fun to be able to say you have a pc in your pocket and last but not least ITS NOT WINDOWS!!!!

No, but seriusly, this is how people learn and at the moment it is usless but that will change as more people want it, it will be developed fearther and work better. There will be more apps after all its a full OS on a phone you could run your photo editing software on it for example and not some cut down thing that you might get on say the iPhone. Plus the possibility of runing all maner of other things that you have on your pc all from your phone.

Now that's cool, don't get me wrong you can't do this yet but the possibility is there.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
Yes and you get more things with full linux ec.(Full office,jre,flash...) you dont neet get your laptop with you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
Yes i got.Sometimes itake couple buuts but i have done it many times and work.

First i only tap the screen.Second tap i let and hold stylus on the sceen and move it up the cross and take it off.In the same way i do to top right....so on.

I don´t know is there able to use android/angstrom programs in ubuntu?What do you think?It will makes some things much easier.I meen (screen calib. keyboard phone dialer wifi....)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
And, since it's open source, you can modify it to do what you want it to do... can make a friendly phone user interface and it still will run gimp, or openoffice.org... (well, maybe it won't be fast enough to run Ooo:D)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Ok, I'll try again. I want to try what happens when you rotate the screen.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't thing so, unless somebody merged the code of android and Ubuntu, which seems tooooo difficult.

BTW, I thing we could get all those things with no need of borrowing them from android.

Here is mixed editon armel-xubuntu+omniubu:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X1MXK4T6

There is lots of more stuff than omniubu.Takes about 1.5G ext2 part.

It is a lidle slow and screen want not update untill tap the screen.Also many programs do not boot.(I hope they are only wrong linked, witch is not big broblem)

if you have allready tested omniubu you gnow what to do.(see post 2.)

You can start screen calib. again login out by pressing ctrl+alt+del and after it login again typing root psw:root(after it wait few second and it autologin)

I have also allready get working debian wich is made to nokia n800 found here:http://www.internettablettalk.com/wiki/index.php/Debian (but it want not startx(grphigal desktop))

Also midubu804 boots but it boot everlong.......

I want test multiple distros so i can see is there any wich is goodone to edit our blackstone.

Is there anyone else any results?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
hi sakkeus.

it's wonderful you are working in this so hard!

I can't wait to get home on monday and try all that new stuff!

I'm sorry I can not help much in this stage, but I can test the different distros, give feedback and post screenshots and videos...

and once we find a good base distro, I can begin coding on its interface to make it more mobile friendly.

so, keep on the good job, man!

If i want to be sure i do bouth.??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] la3bna:

I used ubuntu live CD and copied it to the card and the extracted but i might have to try it as you said, and extract localy and then copy..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
Even i couldn`t get it work with live cd.

Untill now i think this is the best distro go editing it:http://www.internettablettalk.com/wiki/index.php/Debian (n800b3)

First have to get x working.At the same time i am looking other ways/distros.

It would be easy to install xfce is there would be internet connection (just apt-get install...)

I have been thinking put the needed installation files to storage and add to repositories or maybe i can add debian iso installaton cd image to repos.

If you want try:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BabbageKarmicInstall maybe i miss something??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
This works fine:http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu until time start the x

i wanna keep up this thread,i think this project is more intresting than the porting of android.

but,maybe the problem is nobody build apps for another os.

so,now,with the distros u are try'n, is possible to use the radio connection(phone,hsdpa,wifi),or use it as a normal phone?

what probems you have found?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sakkeus11:
Sorry because answer takes a time.I have been busy for other things.

I think there is possible use the radio connection(phone,hsdpa,wifi),or use it as a normal phone.
