I did it on a fresh boot. One thing to note, and this is related to Chris's earlier post, connecting with GPRS irrevocably breaks GSM, and no amount of changing the power state of the chip would recover it. Actually not even a reboot would bring the use of the phone/dialer back. I had to halt the system and then boot it. Presumably rebooting doesn't power down the chip and so it stays in some sort of inconsistent state. If anyone knows how to recover the use of GSM after using GPRS, that would be useful. My only suggestion at the moment would be to totally power down the device, get a fresh boot and then trying pon tmobile before doing anything else, especially before using the phone.

I'm going to paste a bunch of stuff in here, so sorry if this email is pretty confused and long. I need to say up front that I don't have any data plan with T-Mobile. I just went to a T-Mobile store yesterday and bought a SIM chip (US$10) and a pre-paid plan. The guy behind the counter asked me what the phone was that I had. I explained a little, and then he mentioned something about me being able to get free data service, that T-Mobile didn't advertise it, and that it wasn't worth their time to track down who was using it ... I don't know. He just wrote on my receipt wap.voicestream.com. I should also note that I didn't have to modify /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on, or chown /dev/ttySAC0, or even do stty -F /dev/ttySAC0 crtscts. However, in relation to chowning /dev/ttySAC0, I *did* modify /etc/group and add the users uucp and ppp to the group dialout, which by default has write permissions on /dev/ttySAC0. It seems to connect, bring up the ppp0 interface, and get and configure a number of TCP/IP settings. Only DNS name resolution seems to work, but this is probably just because I don't have a data plan, or haven't figured out what ports are open to the outside world or what proxy may need to be used.

This is stumping me. -Tom I'm running a vanilla install of 2008.8. I'm using the jffs2 and kernel images from here: http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.8/ I haven't installed much of anything, or made any fundamental changes to the configuration. I did it on a fresh boot. One thing to note, and this is related to Chris's earlier post, connecting with GPRS irrevocably breaks GSM, and no amount of changing the power state of the chip would recover it. Actually not even a reboot would bring the use of the phone/dialer back. I had to halt the system and then boot it. Presumably rebooting doesn't power down the chip and so it stays in some sort of inconsistent state. If anyone knows how to recover the use of GSM after using GPRS, that would be useful. My only suggestion at the moment would be to totally power down the device, get a fresh boot and then trying pon tmobile before doing anything else, especially before using the phone.

2008/8/11 Dylan Semler [EMAIL PROTECTED]: snip I too am getting Connect script failed. I got it as well with 2007.2. # pppd debug nodetach call tmobile timeout set to 15 seconds send (\K\K\K\d+++ATH^M) expect (OK) alarm send (AT^M) expect (OK) alarm Failed Connect script failed -- Dylan Dylan, I have got that error before, too. Just for the sake of testing, try this: 1) Create/modify the files precisely like I posted them in the first messages 2) Halt your Freerunner completely. 3) Boot the Freerunner from the halted state. 4) Get and SSH over USB connection in one terminal and launch logread -f 5) Wait for the flurry of boot messages to die down 6) Open another SSH connection in a new terminal. 7) Run # pon tmobile 8) Switch to the terminal running logread and see what happens. This much worked for me, but a cold boot was necessary for some reason. I've been playing around with it, and I definitely have some sort of connection because I can point the browser to a site like http://wap.myvoicestream.com and I at least get an error page page telling me that my account hasn't been configured. Maybe T-Mobile quit offering any free WAP services, or else I just don't know the right proxy settings. I'm content GPRS is now working for me. The next step will be to figure out a way to switch between phone functionality and GPRS without a halt/restart. And even better would be multiplexing of the voice and data so that one could still receive calls while connected via GPRS.
