Does the HTC Dream have a USB host controller? If so, what would need to be done to make use of it?
Yes, it does, you need to download the Android SDK and follow the install instructions, installing takes only a few minutes. Following that, you will have even more options...

Hi,
Have anyone tried installing drivers for USB devices on O2 flame, like USB to serial converter etc. I was trying to do this and it fails. I want to use my USB to serial converter to connect to the Flame's OTG port. I tried to install the FTDI driver according to the procedure given. but O2 flame does'nt allow to install any driver. I am really . Trying this for quite a long time.
Anyone had a success in doing this, will appreciate your help.
Best regards,
Manas.
Can you give us a link to your drivers. Without that we will not be able to help you.

I downloaded the driver from this link http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Its not only this driver. In the process to evaluate if the Flame supports installation of new USB driver. I found that it is not allowing. Not even the DLLMain is called.
Done. This is not that easy to though.
how? really intrested... trying to install on toshiba g900
Install a USB driver on Flame
Sorry I was not in touch with this forum for a long time.
For this the first step is to do the registry setting correctly:
HKLM/DRIVERS/USB/LOADCLIENTS
HKLM/DRIVERS/USB/...
Dont forget to mention the index and the prefix values.
the dll must be placed in the /windows folder
Important: Build the driver project with the windows ce version 4.2.
Hi
Has anyone heard something about PXE booting from Shift PC, or how to com in the Bios. We want build the Shift PC automatic with OS Deployment Tool.
Thanks for all the info.

PXE boot is not possible - remember, the Ethernet port is not embedded, but just an USB attached device. Of course, you could create an bootable USB stick that provides a kind of USB support, assuming the necessary drivers for the ethernet port in the USB Hub are available (but in fact, i really doubt so).
OK Thanks i will try it
I finally decided I'm going to root my nexus. Everything seems very simple, except one small problem. I don't have the USB drivers installed. No biggie, I downloaded the 2.1 SDK that supposedly had the USB drivers in it. But for the life of me I can't freaking find them.
As I understand it they should be located at :
C:\AndroidSDK\USB driver\
Unfortunately, inside AndroidSDK there is no USB Driver folder. In fact, no where in the subfolders is there one either. Now perhaps I'm just a total idiot and am missing something, but I've been trying to figure this out for the last 40 minutes and cannot find the damn drivers.
Can anyone tell me how dumb I am? Please?
The USB drivers are a separate download. It's way down the list of things you tick when choosing what to install.
Heh... as above, run the SDK setup and tick the USB drivers.
Then they'll be in \SDK\USB driver\
worth noting if you're on windows 7 x64 you'll need to dl both 32 and 64 bit versions of java jdk to get the actual sdk to run to download the drivers.
then make sure usb debugging is on, and you're away from there
Best way to get the ADB drivers installed correctly is to just install the PDAnet client for your computer. It'll install the correct drivers per your OS.

Thanks guys, you're awesome!
I just downloaded DroidExplorer, and it installed everything I needed for the SDK/ADB. Saved me alot of precious time..
Direct from developer.htc.com, here is a standalone package (zip) that includes the drivers for our phone to allow adb and fastboot (fastboot only with eng-spl found in the dev forum).
"HTC Android USB Driver for Microsoft PC - 5.5 MB"
Using this, you won't need to install the HTC Sync software anymore if all you want is the included USB drivers.
This zip contains HTC USB drivers for XP,Vista,7 32bit, and Vista,7 64bit. Release date is 11/22/2010. There is no automatic installer to hold your hand. You need to know how to install/update drivers for this to work. It's pretty simple.
If you want it done automatically, you can still install the HTC Sync software, but cancel the installer after the USB drivers get installed.

Link just takes you to Htc home page.
What's the point here?? Hummm wonder does this qualify as being lazy. Y not just grab the drivers, zip them up and post them. Just an idea.

Awesome. Good lookin out brother!
The last link is down! =(
Does anyone use the micro usb port? I have yet to find a use for it. I can't transfer files with it, charge with it nor are there any peripherals (that I know of) that can use it. I searched around but couldn't find much useful stuff on the port. All I found was this useless video:
**Ok I can't post the video because of more stupid forum rules but just go to youtube.com and append this after the url: /watch?v=1xBVu-IatDQ **
Anyway, if someone has ideas on how this port can be used I'm all ears... Thanks.

It is a file transfer port. you plug a cable into it and into your PCs usb port. works like the ones on your phone.
Does it work for you? Because it doesn't for me. Nothing happens when I plug it into a computer. No automounting on the computer side or indication on the tablet that I can put it into "usb storage mode" like the 2.X Android versions do.

What OS are you using on your computer, and have you installed the drivers for it?

Computer OS? i just plugged it into my Win7 system and it was there instantly. 3.0 shows up as a media device, which allows both the tablet and the computer to talk to the sdcard at the same time. So you won't see a mount prompt on the tablet. BTW my Incredible2 is running 2.3 and also lets me access the SD card on it and the computer at the same time.
I'm still using an old tiny xp and it worked fine for me just plugged it in and there it was
I tried Gentoo Linux and XP and neither worked. What drivers do I need to install?
I also have access to a Win7 system so I'll try that.
dq
Drivers from acer website.
I have adb installed should this not be enough?
You need none installed. ADB if its running in some form might be interfering. its just a basic driver in windows it uses.
I only run adb-server when I need it and not all the time. I thought that any needed drivers would have been installed when I installed adb.
For my Gentoo machine what should I do? It's not detected at all if I plug it in. My x10 mini and Nexus One are detected no problem and I can mount them and everything so what's up? Is there a kernel module that I need to build?
Thanks.

I had to download these drivers for my xp netbook ,,

I agree with Nova 5. The Windows drivers for USB come with the SDK and while you might not think you will have use for the SDK you will. It makes the process of installing custom ROM,s and Recovery Kernels a breeze. You download your zip flashes or recovery images to Win 7 and then you adb push your downloads to the tablet. The alternatives, unless soneone was nice enough to compile you an apk, which most advanced system developers don,t bother with, unless their app is destined for the massees throug Andriod market, is to install a terminal emulator and enter native Unix/Linux shell commands manually. If you aren't a shell cmd expert I suggest you immediatly download the latest Android SDK for Windows and start learning what it can do for you with just 2 or 3 adb push commands which can help you advoid 10's of lines of manually entered Linux shell commands that can do some real damage to your system if you are copying someone elses terminal emulator sh install instructions, don't understand what they do and make 1 simple typing mistake. With adb push you don't even have to get involved in Linux's complicated bit based permission changes to install something at the system level.

Yes, well I only really use adb in the same capacity as what you describe-- to root a device. After that busybox can be installed and I can either ssh into the device (which I prefer) or use the terminal on the device itself.
But my problem is the detection of the device once it is plugged into my Linux box. I'm not sure if I need a special driver for that and I'd rather not aimlessly search through the kernel config in order to build one (I've done that before and it's painful!). It's good to know that one can mount it on an external device and still use it simultaneously though. That will save me time in trying to fiddle around with settings in the tablet itself...

If you are not able to transfer files Try enabling usb debugging before connecting to pc.
If the tab is not in the usb devices list and it doesn't show up as an unknown device, you might want to try another usb cable. Or another port if you have the Windows and Linux on the same machine and you are trying to connect on the same port.

Not nearly what I was saying. Not even close enough that a bomb would touch it.
Simple answer is my vista and win7 systems accessed the iconia as a media player device requiring no drivers as they are a common system driver. My only comment about ADB was that it might be interfering if it somehow was left running in the background.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but I had to play around with the settings and plug it in several times and finally it showed up. Now I plug it in and the dialog for auto play shows up instantly. When I choose to view files, I get a window with two drives. One is the internal storage and the other is the sd card.

Sometimes mine gets a bit wonky as well. Every now and then, I'll plug it in, get the windows dialogue box asking me what I want to do. I open it up and the box is blank, no drives, nothing. Unplug it, wait a few seconds, pop it back in, and everything is OK. No rhyme or reason, and it doesn't happen all the time.
Quick trick for win7 .
Plug in the device.go into device manager delete its entry and the USB controller it resides on.unplug device.install driver from acer web site.then try the device again.
This works on several USB type issues
Good luck if you don't understand don't try
