just wondering because there is a cf 2 to usb host card out there and there are SD to micro SD adapters but I can't seem to find cf 2 to SD but with it I think we could get usb host on any SD equiped ppc now that would be slick. Or is this just one of them things where you could cary over the pins on the compact flash2 card to sd or does it have to have the inbetween I have found plenty sd to compact flash but nothing the other way prolly because a device that would take a sd card could never house a compact flash card inside it but sense I am looking at having it all external prolly built into a compact powered usb hub its not a issue.
well im thinking if I take one of the sd to too cf2 adapters and pry it open I may be able to just solder it all togeather and get it to work without the adapter that im lookin for if I can get this working would anyone else be interested in have a usb host dongle for there vogue and ummm I think this thread may fall into the univeresal mod sense in therory it should work for any ppc with a micro sd card slot. So if a moderater would want to move this to the right thread thats fine with me.
ok more poking around and well look at this is it actually stating that it handles the usb host onboard? I feel pretty dumb sometimes and the wording makes it look like that could use some intput. http://www.supermediastore.com/sansdigital-mobilestor-ms1u-2-5-usb-enclosure.html#description
well from the website it says you can directly copy stuff from cards to a hard drive you have installed in this without the need for a computer so my thought is yeah it has usb host my only thought now is would it hook up to the usb port on the touch and be recongized it might need a special driver.
Hi,
i can how update ROM and Windows Mobile but my problem is wrong connector on my phone. I testing so many cable and OS but never sync. My friend say: You need new connector.
I don't know. I find solutions without usb cable.
goto www.accessorygeeks.com and order the ORIGINAL HTC USB to mini USB DATA SYNC cable....
the problem is that there are mini usb cables out there but they only charge not transfer data... they look exactly the same... but the data transfer cable has one more wire inside for transerring data so it can work with ur ACTIVE SYNC...
It happened to me for over a year til someone told me...sheesh..now I was able to update my MDA and even root it
Good luck

I have successfully been using a USB cable that came with an external hard drive.
Never had a problem using it for data, reflashing, etc.
get the cable, ur gonna need it!
I cannot find my original micro usb cable that came with my Bionic. I bought one from Amazon that said it was compatible with my phone. However, when using it, my PC doesn't recognize my device. I hopped onto the Moto site and they seem to have generic micro usb data cables as well.
Suggestions?
This seems to be a common problem. I was able to get Motorola to send me a cable, VZ tried a couple of times both cables were not data cables (I don't blame VZ, I don't think they can tell what the cables are).
The Moto cable part number was SKN6378A.
(My LG Rev phone was replaced with a Bionic, the LG cable would not work on the Bionic).
Ok Guys and Gals,
I had a topic going on for a while about windows not detecting my Tablet.
we went round and round about drivers, Novacom, and even formatted my system.
But here what it was My micro usb cable.
My dog had eaten my Hp one. so I bought a generic one through EBAY
I my son took my cable for whatever reason so I grabbed the one that cae with my phone and it fixed everything
So heres my question
what is the right Micro usb cable to buy that will give optimum power abnd data transfer
A micro usb 2.0?
anybody that can help would be great
Any decent microUSB cable will work, its just 4 wires inside linking your Touchpad to your computer. I have used a Motorola, Blackberry, etc branded cables with no issues. Its not uncommon for cheap generic cables to have issues if they shipped with a defect.
I haven't used my TouchPad for a few years, and I wanted to give it another try. Unfortunately I have misplaced the original cable that came with the unit. For charging purposes I'm okay, since I have a dock, but now that I wanted to possibly upgrade OS, I can't do anything without the original cable. Tried a few regular USB to micro USB cable, and none work. The computer (I tried Mac and Windows) does not see TouchPad connected.
Would like to upgrade from Cyanogen 4.1.2 to at least 4.4.4, or maybe Nougat, but without the original cable, looks like it's impossible.
Any idea where to get a replacement cable? Amazon has a few options (not too many), but I'm not sure if those would work. Some reviews are saying that charging works fine, but I'm not sure about the data transfer.
Any help is much appreciated.
You should be able to use any kind of Micro USB cable that has a big thicker width. Especially the really short ones won't work because they don't contain the correct connectors. You should just head to the store and a cable that you've got from them should work, but I doubt you would need one if you have a working cable. You have not explained what kind of modes you've tried, what you were even doing
Have you tried
1. Installing novacom driver? (Assuming you are wanting to mod)
2. Changing file transfer to transfer data (MTP)?
Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I was trying to upgrade to Lineage11 build and install Kitkat 4.4.4, with the idea to possibly upgrade it later to Android 7 Nougat. Right now I have Cyanogen 4.1.2, which I've installed a few years ago, but haven't used my TouchPad for quite a while. So, at first I had to recharge the battery which was completely discharged. I still have the original charger, but the USB cable I had didn't do a thing. The tablet was giving me a warning to use the original cable, which I don't have anymore (can't find it). I left the USB cable plugged in for 2-3 hours, and got no signs of life from the tablet. Then I remembered I had the charging dock somewhere, I luckily found it, and after only about 10-15 minutes, the tablet was back to life and started to charge.
The next day, I wanted to proceed with the upgrade. I still have WebOS installed, but this time I wanted to get rid of it. I installed Novacom driver and Toolbox v42. However, after putting the TP into WebOS recovery mode and plugging the USB cable between the computer and the tablet, I was getting the message that the connection to the TP cannot be established. I tried it on Windows 10, but also on a MacBook. Nothing worked. That's why I'm suspecting there is something wrong with the cable. It did not charge the tablet initially, and then it failed to transfer data. Since I have no idea where my original USB cable, that came with the tablet is, I ordered a new cable from Amazon. Just a regular Micro USB cable. It should arrive in a few days, and I hope it will work.
Thanks again for replying, and I'll let you know what happens when I get the cable.
I am still waiting for the new cable from Amazon. It will take another day or two, but now I really wonder if the cable I already have is bad. I just used it to successfully charge a couple of headphones. It worked just fine. But when I try to use it on my TP, no data transfer is possible, and as I said before it won't charge the tablet either. Really concerned that the new Amazon cable will do the same, which means - nothing. Quite confused, to say the least.
Sorry to bother you again folks, but this thing is driving me crazy. I don't know if it is cable related or not, but apparently I cannot install tptoolbox_v42.
Working in Windows 10, and after successfully installing Novacom driver, when I double click on the tptb_v42_win.bat file, the message I am getting is that the connection to TP cannot be established.
Then I tried running the same bat file as administrator. Now the message is that it cannot find TPToolbox-2015-01-08-v42.bin file. That binary file is sitting in the very same folder, as the executable.
What am I doing wrong? Or is it the cable?
Thanks!

The cable must provide data and charging, if the cable is charging the other phones properly then the cables is only to charge the phone and does not provide data.
The Toolbox can only be use to install an specific Android ROM and Recovery, it will not flash any other ROM version.

That has to be the problem with the cable I was using. The one I'm expecting to arrive from Amazon today is a charge/data cable. It should work...I hope.
Yup, it was the cable. Obviously what I had was a charging only cable. Just got a package from Amazon, tried the cable right away, and it works like a charm (charge and data).
Thank you, djared704 and HP_TOUCHPAD
