Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ppp Via Bluetooth Mobile Phone In Pdaxii13

« on: December 19, 2007, 04:05:03 pm »

Hi,

I have a Nokia 6265i and pdaxii13 (sl-c3200) After a few problems and with help here I have gotten my BT/DUN working.

I made sure my Nokia was set to bluetooth on, phone visibility shown to all

On my Z in a shell window I used the following to search for my Nokia

hcitool scan

It showed my Nokia's Mac Address and its bt name.

in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf I have the following

Code: [Select]

rfcomm0 {
    bind yes;
    device ;
    channel 1;
    comment "My Comment";
}
The Mac Address is that of the Z's BT Adapter. You can verify it with:

hciconfig -a

in /etc/bluetooth/givepin I have the following:

Code: [Select]

if [ -f /etc/bluetooth/pin ]; then
    echo "PIN:'cat /etc/bluetooth/pin' "
else
    echo "PIN:1234"
fi
Modifying both the /etc/bluetooth/pin file adn the echo'd PIN: in the givepin file to a pin number

in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf make sure it points its pin_helper to the /etc/bluetooth/givepin file

Then I issue the following command:

rfcomm connect hci0 <Nodia MAC Address> 1

My Nokia will prompt to pair with my Z, I accept and enter the PIN.

If that is successfull just ctrl+c  to cancel the connection.


I found that I had to first remove the existing rfcomm0.

If you issue the following you can see if there is an existing one:

rfcomm

If it returns and entry you can release it with

rfcomm release rfcomm0

Then try issuing the rfcomm connect command again.

Hope this helps to get it to connect.

This post is from my Z via BT DUN

Like I said I saw other posts where ppp dialer submitted the password with double quotes when it shouldnt. Perhaps this is whats happening with the username.

Eitherway If I can't figure the GUI out Ill have to make some shell scripts to manually connect / disconnect.

Actually I don't believe this is the case. I've done a bit more work on this. I have manually done everything via command line and it works.

I did:

rfcomm connect hci0 <MAC ADDRESS> 1 &

Then I run:

pppd call default

which executes my /etc/ppp/peers/default script which has the following in it

dev/rfcomm0
115200
connect 'usr/sbin/chat -s -v ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NODIALTONE" ABORT "BUSY" " "ATZ" OK ATDT#777 CONNECT'
crtscts
noipdefault
modem
user "1234567890@1x.telusmobility.com"
usepeerdns
defaultroute
connect-delay 60000
remotename default


and it succeeds. I authenticate and my ppp ifup's fine and gets all the right TCP information.

I can now browse the web with dillo.

So it seems to me that the pppd dialer submits the authentication information wrong.

Is there anything I can do to debug this further as I would like to just use the GUI interface for obvious reasons.

That was exactly what I was looking for. The rccomm.conf file wasn't correct. It can now establish a connection and begins the ppp connection. It gets to the point where it receives the auth method of CHAP MD5 And then receives the request for name = "" a response of name = "1234567890@1x.telusmobility.com" (replace 123....90 with my actual phone number) and then it receives CHAP authentication failed

It never gets to the point where it asks for the password.

I talked to telus support and they don't have the ability to view the logs to see if my username is being sent correctly. But I verified with them what it should be and its what PPP dialer says is being sent.

I read a few other posts about how the PPP Dialer double quotes the password but nothing about the username.  The username is being sent in double quotes as shown above. But it looks like the request is asking for it to be in doublequotes.

In my /etc/ppp/peers/default (which is the one its using) it has what I can tell is correct:

/dev/rfcomm0
115200
connect 'usr/sbin/chat -s -v ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NODIALTONE" ABORT "BUSY" " "ATZ" OK ATDT#777 CONNECT'
crtscts
noipdefault
modem
user "1234567890@1x.telusmobility.com"
usepeerdns
defaultroute
connect-delay 60000
remotename default


i tried removing the "" around the user value as well.

I'm not sure if the remotename is correct.. but I don't even know what it should be. Telus support isn't very uesfull for validating or verifying anything as they seem to lack any ability to see what is happening. It would be very aparent im sure if they could just see what username was being submitted.

In my /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file it has:

1234567890@1x.telusmobility.com default "<password>"

I don't knwo if that default shoudl be there im sure its related to why its in the rfcomm.conf file.

Any suggestions would be apreciated.

Hi,

Ok I know there are a lot of threads about getting bluetooth DUN to work. And I'v read through most of them. I was able to get to this point.


I have configured my /etc/bluetooth/givepin to echo PIN:1234

and I can do rfcomm connect hci0 <MAC ADDRESS> 1

The phone prompts for pairing. I submit the pin and its successfull.

But when trying to use the pdaxii13 ppp dialer it fails with teh following error:

Failed to open /dev/rfcomm0: No such device

I used the system PPP configuration tool to specify all the correct information for my username / pass and number to dial.

I know its just some simple configuration that I'm missing but I don't know what else to do.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / How To Restore Your Z

« on: May 15, 2007, 09:00:15 pm »

So I tried to use a U-Boot / Emergency install and now my Z (3200) is Fsck'd up.

Here is what I did to get back to pdaxii13.

I think this should be expanded, verified and made sticky. Also should be added to the documentation.

These instructions cover Restoring Nand Flash, Partitioning and creating microdrive file structure.

I also had to use pdaxii13's rom to boot into the OK (flash utility) menu to get to a console. Explained after step 9. So you will also need to download pdaxii13's rom for step 1 if B+D boot does not work like mine.

1. Download the following:
http://www.trisoft.de/download/SYSTC320.zip
http://www.trisoft.de/download/SLC3200SYSPART.zip
http://www.trisoft.de/download/C3200-2006-04-05-13-00.zip

2. Format your SD/CF to Fat16 (Fat32 does not work) and extract the contents of SYSTC320.zip to the root of your SD/CF

3. Take battery out and unplug power

4. Hold fn+D+M

5. Plug power in (Battery not required)

6. Diagnostic Menu should boot.

7. Pagedown and go into the Backup Restore Menu (3/3)

8. Press OK button for Execute Restore and Delete all flash data. A green bar should start progressing at the bottom shortly after. It will take about 5 minutes to restore. You should see "OK" after Restore ... when completed.

9. Use the x (escape) key to back out. Then use the on/off to power off.

***NOTE***

When trying to use the Hold B+D and power on option it failed with an error about hdd2. This is just a console boot menu. You can get a console boot menu with pdaxii13's rom. You will need to download the pdaxii13 rom files and copy them to the root of you SD/CF card as well before continueing.

10. Extract the contents of SLC3200SYSPART.zip to the root of your SD/CF

11. Make sure the batter is in. Put power cable in.

12. Hold OK and power on. Chose Option 4 then SD or CF and Yes.

13. You should be in the Nand Flash Utility Menu. Select Console Command option.

14. fdisk /dev/hda (note you need to hold shift in this console to get the / )

15. Delete all partitions

16. Create 3 (n)ew partitions:
Partition 1: Primary: Block 1 - 20
Partition 2: Primary: Block 21 - 40
Partition 3: Primary: Block 41 - end (11905)

***NOTE***
I found that after the partitions were created the display showed that the first partition was 10079+ where as the documentation (in SLC3200SYSPART.zip) indicated it should be 10048+. This, however, did not cause any problems for me.

17. Toggle partitions 1 and 2 to be type 83 (if not already). Toggle partition 3 to be type © Win95 Fat32 (LBA). Verify in (p)rint menu that the disk is 16 heads / 63 sectors/track / 11905 cylinders. (w)rite the partition tables.

18. Format the partitions
mke2fs -j /dev/hda1
mke2fs -j /dev/hda2
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/hda3

19. Reboot. Repeat steps 11-13 to get back to a console.

20. Mount partitions and copy over .sys files.
mount /dev/hda1 /hdd1
mount /dev/hda2 /hdd2

***NOTE***
I found that there was no .sys directory in hdd1 or hdd2. However, there was a lost+found directory as required. I manually created the directories and set permissions:
mkdir /hdd1/.sys
mkdir /hdd2/.sys
chmod 700 /hdd1/.sys
chmod 700 /hdd2/.sys

21. Copy the contents of SLC3200SYSPART.zip/hdd1sys to /hdd1/.sys and
SLC3200SYSPART.zip/hdd2sys to /hdd2/.sys

22. Make sure you are not in /hdd1 or /hdd2 and unmount the partitions:
umount /hdd1
umount /hdd2

23. reboot

24. Repeat steps 11-12 to get into Flash Utility Menu.

25. At this point you may or may not be able to install the default Sharp Rom (I don't know). I did not. I chose to install pdaxii13. So thats what these instructions cover.

26. Resize the flash drive to 121mb and install new rom. Please refer to the pdaxii13 documentations on how to do this.

As long as there are instructions that are tested to work I should have no problem. I'll refer to the documents in the files. I'll let you know how it works out. If its successfull I'll post exactly what I did to fsck it up  and how it got corrected. Then maybe we could make a sticky out of it so people can have something reliable to refer to.

I just need confirmation on step 2 as the instructions given were not clearly defined.

Thanks.

So can someone please confirm the steps so I can get my Z up and running again (please help with step 2):

1: Download http://www.trisoft.de/download/SYSTC320.zip . Put on Fat 16 SD Card. Boot into DM menu. Do a nand flash restore.

2: Download http://www.trisoft.de/download/SLC3200SYSPART.zip Put on Fat 16 SD Card. Not sure how to restore the harddisk partitions with this file. Is this the HDD Update in the DM menu?

3: Once hdd partitions are setup right download the Sharp Rom from
http://www.trisoft.de/download/C3200-2006-04-05-13-00.zip Put on Fat 16 SD Card and boot into the OK menu and flash to this.

Hi all,

Here I am just messing shit up like always.. Now I need help

I have a 3200.

So long story short.. I have done the following with pdax r198..

I downloaded the emergency boot files..
I did fn+c+d and instructions said it would light up for 20 secs and then go off.. well it didnt.. it just went on for like 5 seconds and then just kept blinking.. So I powered it off..

Then I just did a power+OK and it booted into and loaded r198..

Now I want to go back to beta3 or pdaxii13.

Instructions say to use the fn+d+m menu to nand flash erase, then nand flash restore with orig sharp rom.. then power+ok to load rom.


I got it to flash erase. but I can't find sharp rom to use. I tried cacko and it said something about systc3200.dbx missing..

So I'm not sure what to do now.

Can someoen either point me to correct instrustions.. Or if the above is correct direct me to the correct rom to use for this step.

Thanks in advance.
