Hi folks, I am new to this site and new to the Advent Vega. Actually in my case it is a Pioneer Computers ePad P10, same thing though.
Anyways, I just upgraded the rom in it to the new 1.09 vega rom and for the life of me I can not get the stupid thing to read my usb thumb drive any more.
any chance someone could point me in the right dirrection please?
If I recall properly, the 1.09 rom is an official one. Therefore it doesn't include the usb mode switcher, it's always in slave mode. As such, it won't recognize your usb stick. Think of it as if you were trying to connect a usb stick to another one.
If you want it to recognize your usb, flash back to a ROM which does support the USB mode change (modaco rom for example).
I am going to remake my rom add-on for v1.09 shortly, i will add the usb switcher to that.
Thanks guys I really appreciate the fast responses and I look forward to the 1.09 add on when its done.
Stupid thing is, if I had left the thing alone it HAD the USB host mode working. Oh well you live and learn I guess

I am working on the new framework at the moment. I will add the usb switcher when i get the time. (it also adds a lot of size to the rom). I would stick with v1.08 until we sort the issues with v1.09. The only benefit from v1.09 at the moment is the full screen notifications. Everything else can be added to v1.08 by my rom add-on/performance pack, or paul at modaco rom add-on.

I have a T-Mobile G1 that I had not used for a while. I decided to upgrade it to 2.2 and have been successful (Amon_RA v1.7, Cryogen 6). However, I had to do the upgrade using the SD card and WiFi because the USB is not working. I have tried to connect on both my old XP computer that used to work with the G1 and a couple of other computers using XP and Win7 with the same results.
I get USB Device Not Recognized. When I look at the Device Instance Id on the properties screen it shows USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&64DAA3C&0&1 and most other entries are unknown.
My Droid X works fine so I am fairly certain this must be a problem on the G1. I don't know how the G1 manages the USB connection so any help is appreciated.
I´m having the same problem but with my Vega tablet.
When I go to properties I get te VID_0000 and pID_0000 therefore y can´t install the drivers. I´ve looked everywhere but didn´t find any solution
Try another cable? Or try and see if this one works with another phone.
Same here with my htc magic, was working fine then just stopped. I've almost given up trying to get it to connect via usb, so it'd be great to see someone give a solution
Sometimes that happens to me, I try to reboot the computer as well as the phone. What really fixed it was having another rom installed.
Got a connection briefly today, then after a fresh install of laszlo's fantastic rom its gone again! Weird!

I just bought my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.
And i noticed some problems that if some one could help me i would appreciate.
1)Were can i find the youtube app. At least the most recent one. I cannot find it on the android Market or the lenovo Market.
2) How can I send files to the tablet using the micro usb cable. I use mac an linux machines and it is not recognize. I Noticed that the USB options are not switchable by the user. On windows asks for drivers (which i cannot find by the eway). Is there a way to access the internal memory using micro usb?
3) Is there a way to use a Portuguese keyboard an still have the tablet in English. It seems that it always chose the layout of the keyboard based on the system language.
Hope that some one can help me...
Thanks in advanvce...
answers:
1) download it Here
2) copy files by using this app. it will ever work on any platform without any drivers.
3) i'm using my tablet in english too. using german keyboard layout because i'm german . don't know if it's the same for potuguese but if you go to settings then language & input you can choose the keyboard layout. try it
First of all thanks for your reply...
1) thanks that was just what i was looking for... Does it update via market now that i have it installed?
2) I know these type of applications but for over the air i use ssh. I Intend to copy some large files and that would be easier and faster using the micro usb cable. Do you know a way to do that? My htc desire when i connect it to a pc via usb cable I can teel it what to do (mass storage device, charge only, etc, ...) what to do, but that option is blocked in my tablet.
3) I have to try that tomorrow when i arrive at the office ill give it a try.
By the way how can i change the host name of the tablet?
2) use sd card, it's the simpliest and fastest way

That is not a very good solution I have 16GB of memory that I would like to use.
And to use the sd card I need to have with me all the time a sd card reader which is not the case.
Every android phone i used and have let me connect the device as a mass storage device. They even let me access the SDcard and internal memory using the micor USB port.
So I suppose that this is possible with lenovo thinkpad but I am missing were or how i can do it...
Is in the settings at the USB-Settings "Transfer files" enabled,
or can you choose it when connected ?
And at accounts&sync is "allow sync with pc" checked ?
mounting the TPT in unix is a bit more tricky. I had to do this last year, I only remember it took some extra work. But here's an experience getting it done in Ubuntu:

Good luck!
For Youtube, try out the one linked in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19412952&postcount=3
That's the tablet-optimized version 3 of the Youtube app. Installed it yesterday and works great on my TPT.
Youtube newer version?
Hello,
First time poster, but old follower of this great community site!
Q: May somebody provide the apk for Youtube (the latest one). The one linked above I think is an older version (3.0.15)
I mistakenly uninstalled the one that came with my TPT without backing it up (I know, stupid!). I think its version was 3.1.1.
I'm currently using a 16 Gb US version. Build number: A310_02_0039_0086_US
Thanks a lot!
Well, you could try downloading the latest US ROM from Lenovo - just unzip it and check the apps folder for the recent version of the Youtube app.
Thanks Yassin,
But I haven't found a full stock Rom. All I can find are the OTAs and it seems that the YouTube apn it's not included, or at least I haven't found it.
And the update at the Lenovo app store still gives me the parsing error when downloading...

hi,
it'll be appreciated if some one help me.
i'd like to use USB host mode on my N1 running on CM7.2.
or should i replace OS?
thx,
from one heaven,
I am running CyanogenMod version 10.1.2 on a Nook Color via micro SD card. I can not get any USB devices (eg. thumb drives) to work. Nothing happens when I plug a USB device in, so it appears that the Nook Color does not recognize the device. To troubleshoot the problem, I ran a program called "USB Host Diagnostics," and received the following message:
USB Host Controller: version number 0.44
S3C USB Host Driver NOT found!
Root hub present, USB Host Mode is active.
What is the "S3C USB Host Driver? Where can I download it? How do I install the driver on the Nook Color? What steps do I need to take to get USB hosting to work? Thanks for any help you can give me to help me solve the problem!

To expand on this: CM7 was based on top of an older Linux kernel version (2.6.32), on top of which a lot of hard work was done to enable USB host mode. In porting to CM9/10/10.1, we moved to a newer kernel version (3.0), and some of that work wasn't brought over. There aren't any technical barriers to enabling USB host mode on newer kernels -- someone "just" needs to spend the time to go through the patches for host mode in 2.6.32 and figure out what bits need to be forward ported to 3.0. (In case you haven't figured out yet, time is the scarcest asset in a volunteer project like this one ...)

"S3C USB Host" refers to the USB OTG hardware included in Samsung S5PC110 ("Exynos3") devices, including the Nexus S and most Galaxy S series phones. It's not applicable to OMAP devices like the Nook Color, which use different, much more mature USB OTG hardware and drivers from Mentor Graphics and TI (musb_hdrc).

THANKS to EVERYONE for responding and clarifying the situation with USB Hosting mode on CM 10. The information saves me a lot of frustration in trying to get my Nook Color to recognize my USB devices. At least I can get USB Hosting working if I use CM7; that's an option, so thanks a lot for pointing it out. I'm a newbie and struggling to learn Android related stuff. If I had the technical know-how, I'd love to help solve the USB Host issue with CM10. For me at least, USB hosting would be a valuable feature in CM10 and beyond. I really like how well CM10 runs on my device with a SanDisk 8Gb micro SDHC card.
To get some of my devices (eg. keyboard) working on CM10, I may try the bluetooth capability in CM 10. However, I read somewhere that the range of bluetooth was limited on the Nook Color. I think that was awhile ago when developers initially unlocked bluetooth on the Nook Color. Is bluetooth range still a significant issue?
THANKS AGAIN!!!

There is a limited range for bluetooth, it was actually hidden in the official rom and not enabled until some developers found it out.
IF you really want USB host on a newish android version, you might want to use CM9, it still has usb host and I was able to use it a few months ago for a project. But there is limited opengl support and it might have a few minor bugs in it.

Thanks for the tip about USB hosting mode and CM9. I'll download CM9 and see how it works with my Nook Color and USB peripherals.

Please provide more detail about how you enabled USB hosting mode in CM9. I downloaded and installed CM9, but I can't figure out how to enable USB mode. I tried an app called "Nook Color Tweaks," but the app clearly states that it does not work with CM9. What steps did you take to get USB hosting on your device running CM9? Please clarify. Thank you!

I'm sorry,the app I was referring to was Nook Color Tweaks. Whoops :laugh:
A few of the options will not work on CM9 but the USB host will/should work.
I haven't used CM9 in a while now but if usb host doesn't work on the rom I linked to then you may want to use a ROM from eyeballer's unofficial CM9 nightly builds and try the latest opengl build. I had used eyeballer's rom in the past and it did work with USB host.

I think the changes need to be made in encore_defconfig (or encore _cm11_defconfig). I can try to make the changes but these files are automatically generated in the make process. Could you point me to the configuration files where this happens? I think it must be in device/bn/encore.
So i just got my MOJO and was in the process of rooting it but, i can't seem to get windows 7 to recognize the device when i connect it by USB. It always shows up as "unknown device". How do i get Windows 7 to recognize it?
Also i have another problem regarding sound....there isn't any. When i load up a video on the MOJO, or just try to do anything that would have sound, theres nothing. I have the sound at MAX using the CTRL gamepad controls. Still, nothing.
I knew the MOJO was going to be one of those devices you have to fight with in order to get it to do what you want but, this is worse than i expected.
Help?
It really is a terrible experience out of the box. We know who to blame Mad Catz!
For Windows to recognize it, you have to install ADB Drivers, try the ones from teamandroid: www teamandroid .com/download-android-usb-drivers/
You will have to locate the device in the windows device manager and install the drivers manually.
But you can root the mojo without conencting it to the pc. you can root it with towelroot (Version 1). you have to search with google for the apk. the newest version (3) and v2 won't work.
After that you can use Flashify to flash a custom recovery.
For the sound: do you have another hdmi slot at your tv? this sounds like a connection problem.

Try the driver from Samsung.
If they don't work, use the universal adb drivers: github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver
Towelroot would be much easier, you just install the App and klick one button (but only v1 works with mojo)

Thanks for the reply but i've tried all towelroot 1.0 as well as 3.0 and it did NOT work. I got an error saying, "This phone isn't currently supported". No matter which version i try.
Edit: Ok got it working! Turns out i was attempting the V2.0 & V3.0 versions. There are plenty of sites out there that would claim to have v1.0. However, once i downloaded and installed it, i'd see a "v2" or "v3" at the top of the screen.
In the end, I had to do a google search for a towelroot spefically for MOJO. Only then did i finally come across a site that had a legit v1.0.

Good job! I'm glad it worked in the end.
I also had to search a long time to find the correct tr version. But you will never need it again, once it's rooted. if you want to go back to stock, you can flash the original firmware with twrp, too!

Ok so after a few hard weeks messing with this device, i've figured out ways to fix all its quirks, except for one: Not being able to connect to Pc. Thats annoying. I don't like having to remove my Micro SD card everytime i want to add more files.
Especially since this device was deigned in such a way that, its virtually impossible to remove without first removing the HDMI cable first. As they are sooooo CLOSE together.
Any suggestions for drivers? I just need it to function like a plain USB mass storage device, so i can access my Micro SD card on the Pc.
Yeah, the microSD is a pain to remove.. but I never need to touch it.
I don't understand why you want to access the SD via PC as a USB device?
To access the sdcard over wifi I use a SambaDroid server on the mojo pointed to the sdcard.. it works.

I want to be able to freely connect my MOJO by USB and drag & drop files at will to the Micro SD, without having to physically remove the Micro SD card each time (which also means unplugging the HDMI every time!!).
So far i'm enjoying the MOJO console as i've found fixes for every other problem i've run into. This is the only one that continues to elude me. I had not thought about the possibility of my Pc being able to connect remotely though wi-fi, to access the MOJO storage. This might be yet another out-of-the-box fix for me. Can you explain more about how this is done??

Not sure why you want to have a USB on the MOJO that way... the idea of MOJO(or any other topset box) is to keep it online next to your TV, I used to plug USB thumb drives into it.. but you never want to change microSD cards.. same like on a phone or tablet really.
Just install this on mojo:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sambadroid&hl=en
You can configure it so it shares a folder (google how to share folders on windows or youtube sambadroid).
You can use just the microSD (i think it's /mnt/card1) or the internal storage(i think /storage) or both using just /
I wouldn't do just / though.
It's pretty easy, just replicates windows file sharing and works well.
