Alright, I followed the directions from the "[PROGRAM] Updated:One Click Root/UnRoot (Mac and PC)" thread thoroughly(several times):
(couldn't find any answers in the thread about it)
So, I got all the drivers for my 64 bit computer and set my phone to usb debugging mode. I right-clicked the exe program and selected "run as administrator". Then the command prompt says now my phone is restarting to recovery mode; it does not do that. Does it mean that I need like an actually sd card so it can download the update.zip file into it or it should already do it to the internal drive.
What type of use cord are you using? Is it the one that came with the phone? I can only connect with my MAC using a quality or original cord.
If his fails you can download olcf from the market to root your phone. There are other options in this app but I would just use it to root.
Probably should not be posted in development

Original cord and what is this olcf from the market?
Make sure you are plugging the USB cable into a USB port on the back of your computer. I have personally had it not work on the front USB ports and I've heard of it not working on USB hubs as well.
Otherwise, you don't need an external SD card, just the internal one.

Guys, i've made a incredible s kernel which with USB host mode (OTG) support
It's based on XSKernel, so this kernel contains 1.8Ghz overclocking support, thanks to l0st.prophet very much !!!
I merged usb host mode patch from here:
http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
and made some bug fix and improvment for incredible s.
I test this kernel only on Froyo rom, i'm not sure whether this also works fine on gingerbread rom.. ^_^
It's not very perfect, while this is current status in my testing environment:
pros:
--------------------------------------
USB keyboard : works fine
USB mouse : works fine
USB printer : works fine
USB ethernet card : works fine
wifi : works ok
GPS : works ok
bluetooth : works ok
FM : works ok
USB charging and AC charging : works ok
cons:
--------------------------------------
usb device mode functions are disabled, like adb, usb tether ...
If I use USB flash disk / USB CDROM with usb host mode enabled,
Incredible S hangs (they use the same usb-storage driver)
I have no idea whether it's relative to my Incredible S phone, so it would be appreciated if you would like to try to use usb storage device ^_^
--------------------------------------
I've post a usb host mode patch and config file here:
vivo-usb-host.patch.zip
usb-host.config.zip
the patch seems to be a little big, cause i upgrade asix usb ethernet card driver, the original version doesn't works fine, enjoy it ~~~ ^_^
=====================================================
prerequisites:
1. a rooted S-OFF incredible S phone (of course )
2. a self-powered usb 2.0 hub (must always has self-power)
3. A micro USB B male to USB A female adapter/cable
(a USB female to female adapter and a micro USB cable also works ^_^)
steps:
1. use attached PG32IMG.zip to update IS kernel in fastboot
copy PG32IMG.zip to the root directory of sdcard, in fastboot mode,
you can just update it
2. unzip modules.zip, use RootExplorer or other tools to copy all *.ko module
files to:
/system/lib/modules
3. power up IS phone, connect IS phone to USB hub's upstream port,
connect some usb devices, connect usb hub's power, wait for the charging
LED lights
4. wait about 10 seconds, open a terminal emulator, load kernel modules:
Code:
cd /system/lib/modules
insmod usbcore.ko
insmod ehci-hcd.ko
# use USB input device
insmod usbhid.ko
# use USB printer device
insmod usblp.ko
# use USB ethernet card device
insmod mii.ko
insmod usbnet.ko
insmod asix.ko
# use USB mass storage device (flash disk and so on)
# this may cause IS phone hang, it's on your own...
insmod usb-storage.ko
There is a picture shows USB keyboard works fine in my IS phone, lol ~~
If usb mass storage device works fine or any other usb device doesn't works fine in your phone,
you can just post "dmesg" output here, thank you ~~~
That is pretty cool, nicely done! Can't try it out as I'm stuck with S-ON for now but it's a great idea and I hope you find time to develop it further and iron out the bugs.
does the camera and youtube works?

Yep, camera works fine, wifi works fine, now adb functions are disabled
usb host mode functions almost works perfect
Are you sure camera and video works, cause the sources are for froyo and that breaks video on gb roms. If you've fixed it I'd love to know how cause its broken in XSKernel until HTC release the gb sources.
BTW, you need to post your sources for a kernel as it OS distributed under GPL, or the mods will have to take it down till you do, just a friendly warning.

I test this kernel only on Froyo rom, camera and video works, i'm not sure whether this also works fine on gingerbread rom.. ^_^
And as you said, the kernel source is GPL licensed, i will post a patch which based on the HTC's released froyo source code - based on XSKernel may be much easier, lol ~~~
Ah fair enough, yes it works fine on Froyo, break on GB
Damn HTC... releasing 2.2 sources only.
arghh.. i was this close to try and flash it...
zzz HTC...cmon..update this!! release it for GB!! we need it badly...
Please help me with this I am interested not sleep for days I could not do a kind of sorry about my English bad typographical error would translate what I wrote might be.
I can not open kernel hangs after installing the rom does not turn on my phone several times but the recovery mode, open the CM7 I installed the new rom rom installed installed installed the old rom in the same results, please Can you give me a link to a rom that you can run with this kernel is running, or if you have a friend, if possible, upload a backup of full recovery can? Incredible S, but I can not make my phone .. please help I can not sleep anymore I put my head Thank you for your interest in advance.
Great! now how can we turn adb and usb tether back on?

Hi,
As now HTC kernel source code is released can you please make USB host mode working with the latest code.
Or can you please help me out with what changes needs to be done or any pointers to work on it.
I really wanted USB host mode for incredible S.
Thanks

Could someone compile the following file for me? I'd do it myself, but, unfortunately, I don't have access to a computer, nor will I for a while (I'm touchpad only for now).
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/hp-kernel-tenderloin/blob/gingerbread/drivers/net/usb/mcs7830.c
The driver is for a USB-Ethernet adapter that I'm trying to get working on the Touchpad through ICS (cm9).
Thanks.
Is this for USB 3g dongles??
No, not for a 3G adapter, but for one that goes from USB to Ethernet cable.
jcsullins compiled it for me, by the way, so I no longer need the driver (many thanks to him).
However, I can confirm that ICS on CM9 recognized it without problems as eth0 and once I ran dhcpd and assigned a DNS server, I had no problems connecting to the internet. So feel free to add a driver for your own adapter if you have one.
So to review:
-copy driver (to /system/lib/modules)
-insert module ("insmod /system/lib/modules/*yourdriver*.ko")
-get an IP address (manually, or "/system/bin/dhcpd eth0")
-add DNS (setprop net.dns1 *yourDNSserver*)
A couple caveats, I've noticed.
1) It doesn't play nice with wifi. I sort of expected this, but bringing up wlan0 and eth0 at the same time crashes the tablet.
2) Not all apps recognize the internet connection. This is a bit frustrating since most do (including the Browser), but not all.

I figured out how to compile drivers manually myself shortly after my posts in this thread. I havent used my build environment in a while though, should still be able to check out what (if any) drivers are built into the kernel by default. Do you already have an adapter?

OMG thank you for responding! No, I don't have an adapter yet--was waiting to find out which one works and I'll buy that. I'm open to suggestions. Thank you!
You are my shining beacon of hope ba114! Have you had a chance to see what drivers might exist in the kernel?
I read elsewhere that the cyanogenmod for the asus transformer contains a driver compatible with Asix AX88772. That chipset is what this cheapo adapter (OMG, no links for noobs!) uses. I have half a mind to buy one just to see, but it would help immensely if someone could confirm that jcsullins cm9 or cm10 for the touchpad also has support for this chipset baked in...
Hopefully giving you something to work with will make this less of a "needle in the haystack"...
Thanks!
really wish I could post links, as jscullins has posted the driver!

could use some help
OK, finally got my OTG cable and USB ethernet. Let's do this!
Tried to follow these instructions:
So to review:
-copy driver (to /system/lib/modules)
-insert module ("insmod /system/lib/modules/*yourdriver*.ko")
-get an IP address (manually, or "/system/bin/dhcpd eth0")
-add DNS (setprop net.dns1 *yourDNSserver*)
Had to troubleshoot why my Touchpad wasn't being seen as a USB mass storage device. DONE. I'm feeling like a boss.
Windows Explorer didn't see the main system--just the "SD Card". What ever--not big deal. I copied the driver over to the SD Card. Downloaded Astro File Manager to copy the file to /system/lib/modules. Nope. Denied.
No problem! Dropped to terminal and enabled super user. Astro is still a no go. No worries!! I'm a big boy--I'll do this in terminal! Taught myself enough command line jargon to navigate to the file, and copy it to the intended directory. NOPE. Directory is read only.
OK, so I navigate there and try to chmod the directory with u+w. "Bad mode". Research that to learn I have to use the numbers. So I try that (775) and now it tells me it is a read-only file system.
sigh
It might not seem like it, but I'm trying. I really am.
Can someone tell me how to get past step one of this process? Please? What on earth am I doing wrong?
I recently had to do some wizardry on my phone to get openvpn to co-operate, and I suspect that would work here but I don't understand the commands, and fear I'd end up screwing something up.
This was the command:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
I'm guessing I need to unmount the system so I can work on it and copy the file into that directory? Is that the case? Would the command line be the same, or different?
Anyone else get this to work now that the driver has been posted publicly?
Thanks!!!!
To help those who come after me:
Grab ES File Explorer. It includes a Root Explorer that lets you mount the file system as writable. The "copy to" command claimed to work but did not copy the file. Copy the driver, then manually navigate to /system/lib/modules and paste. Voila.
-insert module ("insmod /system/lib/modules/*yourdriver*.ko")

this appeared to work
-get an IP address (manually, or "/system/bin/dhcpd eth0")

this took me a long time to figure out. as far as I can tell, the only "directions" noobs like me have to follow contain typos. the command should read dhcpcd eth0
HOWEVER, what I get instead is eth0: interface not found or invalid
a little help here? Does the mcs7830.ko driver work with the Asix AX88772 chipset?
Stupid question--should I be expecting the touchpad to power the USB ethernet adapter via the OTG cable, or do I require a "Y" cable to supply power? Is that why I'm getting:

I would assume so. Every HP Touchpad tutorial that I've see that mentions an OTG cable also mentions it needing to be powered.
Hi everybody !
I have a Sony Xperia SP- C5303 - Rooted,TA saved,BL unlocked :good:
Rom custom : CM11/FXP308 :good:
My problem : I can't connect my phone in MSC mod, so I can't see my SDcard , to put files on it.
I have only the choice into MTP mode or PTP mode. (go on the tab, "USB connection at computer" in the right corner, under"Stockage" when you select "Parameters".) [Parameters>Stockage>USB connection (tab in right corner)]
So, I unticked the MTP mode and PTP mode.
I connect my phone at my computer, and i see a problem in the devices manager,my phone C5303 has a little yellow triangle on it; he isn't recognized.[/B ] --->error in .jpg --->link : ht tp://hpics.li/acab5e2
Under others modes (MTP,PTP), the phone works perfectly and he is recognized no problems. Even, in fatsboot mode and also in flashmode mode.
What can i do ?
I'm on Windows 8.1 pro X64.
Thanks
Sky:fingers-crossed:

I'm on CM11 official ; it's still the same thing...

Wow your question was unanswered for a very long time!
I suggest for you to tick "MTP" in your device settings. As in OP, you have unticked both, which possibly makes your Windows unable to "know" the protocol in order to interact with your device.
MTP is Media Transfer Protocol, known to be widely used in Windows in order to connect media devices.

In MTP, There is no problem;the phone is recognized.

It was impossible (natively, maybe?)
I also prefer to use it mass storage too. Being that sometimes connecting XSP to my Linux box, it yields a mounting error, which forces me to logout of my Linux session, and login again. I don't find any solution for now. Maybe this should be requested officially to Cyanogenmod?

Wondering if im screwed or if someone can help me, I think the USB port on my Touchpad is gone.
I have been trying to use TP Toolbox but it always fails when finding device.
I have tried 4 different computers (3 Win 7 and 1 Win XP) to recognize the Touchpad as being connected via USB.
Its note a Novacom issue, when I connect the touchpad to the computer I get NO confirmation from Windows that a device is connected, no chime, no listing in the device manager, nothing, years ago I remember that even with no Novacom installed I at least got a notice saying a Palm, Inc device had been connected.
The Touchpad thinks its connected to a charger.
Under Android 4.2, only charging, going to USB connection option and selecting MTP doesnt do anything.
Under Web OS, get a notice that the charger is low capacity, but no option no mount device as USB drive.
Under TWRP when I go to Mount SD card, nothing happens.
The TP charges without any problem otherwise, using wall chargers or the wireless charger.
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise Im stuck on Android 4.2 forever

Well for one, as someone said before, make sure you are using a proper USB cable, they aren't all the same, some cheap cables are designed to charge devices but won't work for connecting a device to a computer for data transfer. And also, you need to be in recovery mode for the toolbox to start. Turn the tablet off and then hold the Power + Vol UP until you see the USB symbol appear on the tablet. Connect it to your computer and open the batch file for the toolbox. If you have Novacom properly installed, it should recognize it right away and the toolbox will show up on the tablet.
Thank you to everyone for trying to help but nothing works, I have tried 3 cables so far:
1 that came with a Nexus 5.
The original Touchpad cable with the silver dimple.
A generic cable I have lying around.
Also tried 4 different computers, all same effect.
Does anyone have any other ideas? As I said in the opening post, Touchpad Recovery mode doesnt work, Android USB Mode doesnt work, Web OS USB and TWRP Mount mode the same.
No matter what I do, Windows wont detect that ANYTHING is connected to the USB port, no chime, no entry in the device manager, Novacom installed or not.

Thank you so much, I will give it a try as soon as I get home.
Also, is there anyway to upgrade Android on the TP without USB? I could transfer files using FTP or Wi Fi File explorer.
Possible but problematic

It might be possible to update your tablet without using the TPToolbox but you may have to manually change some partition sizes. I have an older guide for installing data media builds below that doesn't rely on the Toolbox. However I still recommend doing things like uninstalling android, which you can't do, so the procedure might be hit or miss. If you make a nandroid backup and transfer it to your PC you could attempt it. I've updated some of the links and you can find the newer recoveries at the bottom. Have a look and feel free to ask questions if you plan to attempt it, I'll try to update the info a bit.
