:(

won't work for me. i am on this rom : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667272

Does someone know which version it is? my software info says core cell, as they changed the rom info to this name. i believe it isn't 3.14, is it?

i tried following things: i took my external powered usb hub, (i already got this to work with the ubuntu/linux builds around here, i connected my usb stick, my mouse and the android phone from a friend to my linux hd2. worked like a charm. i was able to copy files between my sd card his phone and my usb stick at the same time) and a usb stick. i was able to see the recognized "hard drive" in total commander and file explorer. but after having recognized the stick, my hd2 wont do anything further(the stick also stopped flashing his led light, indicating the work status). the connected mouse didnt do anything at all. :(

is there any trick to eventually get it to work? i stayed on this rom for so long and found it to be perfect in the end, but i would love to get my usb sticks work with it!

anyhow thanks for your great work dft team!!!

anybody bought a working cable ?

im looking at this one

samsung cables like this look like a hit and miss ... cuz the usb connectors angle would block the 3.5 jack

Hey all,

Finally i got it working on both dutty & Energy rom. Before connecting go to "Usb to pc " under connection settings. select USB mass storage, & REMOVE THE TICK from ask me on connect. After this restart & connect it will work.

Thanks & Cheers to Cotulla.

Hi Cotulla,

Can you plz let us know how can we add usb drivers for different devices. Like my logitech v220 mouse is not working won wm6.5 but it is working on linux. whenever i putt it on wm6.5 it ask me to enter device driver name and i dont know that. i have tried few names like, HID, Mouse, Generic mouse but no luck. so it will be helpful if you explain the way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] explorer2612:
Thanks 'bro. This is simply awesome !!!

I have a 7-port usb port with external power supply, used a male-female usb gender converter to connect it to my HD2 ...... wholla !!! works great.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] quserdy:
Hi!

Thanks for your advice, but it still wont work for me/ it isnt usable.

This is what i experienced:

1. I installed everything like Cotulla told to.

2. Reset

3. Start USBH Switch

4. Switch to Host

5. Now i minimized the usb host switch app(i disabled sense as i had to restart my phone very often(time saving)), the usb host app stays on the homescreen dunno why??

6. i opened the start menu and got ready to open total commander

7.i connected my usb cable to the phone(usb cable already connected to usb-hub, and hub already connected to usb stick/mouse)

8. as soon as i connected the cable the stick/mouse began to flash their led lights

NEW: now when i opened total commander very quick i was able to explore the files on my usb stick or use the mouse within tc. BUT this wont last. after 3 or 4 seconds my stick stops flashing and i got stuck in tc. via windows button i headed back to the start menu maximized usb host switch app and did a reset.

@Cotulla: is this something you experienced on your phones also? is there anything i am able to do to keep access to my usb devices?

thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cotulla:
maybe insufficient power supply for all this devices?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] quserdy:
mmh i just tried mouse or several usb sticks alone, no luck. and they worked well all together in linux(same hub etc.)

also played around with the option: charge/dont charge while connected to pc..

i'll keep trying.

EDIT: it works!!! seems as if the connection betweeen hub stick and phone has to be established before switching to host mode. (did a reset with everything still connected) now all devices stay accessable. GREAT!

edit2: new apple keyboard works like a charm out of the box :D you are my hero :D:D

Thanks for your fast answer!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] quserdy:
for everyone who's interested:

i installed zeno usb host driver on my hd2 and it gave me a mouse pointer for my usb mouse!!

the downside (why i uninstalled it again) the zeno driver just supports my mouses up left and right movements. so my cursor always drifted up to the start menu bar while using the mouse, where it only moved right and left in the end. it started always in the middle of the screen and mouse down movements wont move the cursor.

so we need a mix out of cotulla and zeno ;)) who is able to..?? :P

yet again another breakthrough from u.. amazing..

i agree that this is perhaps the most important qn we WM lovers have..

You know that we are hobby team, so we acts like free painters ;)

doing something when we like it or drop it and continue with something else, much more interesting at the current moment. then return back to old project with new ideas. It's just some kind of art :)

ETA, time lines, plans - all this make hobby extremely boring :(

So we can't and never promise anything exactly...

So you should not read "we working under ABC" as "they will release ABC soon".

You should read it as "they looking now to ABC, but if stars of the sky located in the triangle with angles 60 degrees, they will able to successfully finish it and then release it" :D

@Cotulla

Ho provato su HTC blackstone (ROM sviluppata da me, WM 6.5) e non funziona :-(

Queste le prove che ho fatto:

1) installato certificato e software di Cotulla

2) collegato cavo per ricarica HTC + adattatore USB Femmina/Femmina + pendrive 4GB (NTFS) e pi anche ocn mouse ottico

altra prova

2.1) collegato cavo a Y (di quelli forniti con chiave per navigazione internet wireless, es. TIM Italia), provato in diverse combinazione ma nulla... Mi si blocca il PDA...

Inutile ogni altro tentativo? sono graditi consigli, grazie :-)

@Cotulla

I tried on HTC blackstone (ROM developed by me WM 6.5) and does not work :-(

These are the tests I did:

1) certificate and installed software Cotulla

2) connected to cable for charging HTC + USB adapter Male / Female + 4GB pendrive (NTFS) and even more OCN Optical Mouse

other evidence

2.1) connected to a Y cable (the ones that come with navigation key to Internet access, eg. TIM Italy), tried different combinations but nothing ... I will lock the PDA ...

Needless to any other attempt? tips are welcome, thanks :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Robbie P:
Works a treat, using stock ROM and quserdy's usbinput program for a visible mouse pointer. Have keyboard, mouse and usb stick connected.

Have to keep the screen awake though, else it loses contact with everything and have to reset.

Good job Cotulla and DFT, many thanks.

Now when usb host ability is here is it possible to connect, for example usb dvb-t tuner?

Of course there would have to be some kind of drivers or software for win mobile for that to be usable...

Is it possible?

now the only thing missing on this super phone is a tv out.....

no, there no outputs for TV out.

This release designed for HTC LEO only. It won't work on Blackstone, because Blackstone has different hardware.

Ok, i'm going to freak out with this, so i need help and suggestions...

i've made picture with all possible connections that i tried and nothing, so can you look at it and give me some advice...

I'm using this usb hub with external power combination like on picture with my notebook and everything work ok...

Thank you...

hey frotna,

try as i mentioned earlier here:

look at posts #54 / #56
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frotna:
Thanks for the tip, it works now.

So, for me it works like this:

1. all devices that i want to use have to be connected to usb hub

2. restart phone with connected all usb devices

3. start USB HOST function.

Also i tried Teksoft USB input software and can confirm that mouse pointer is visible with it and it works ok...

Cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Hi !

First of all, great project, thank you !

Some thoughts after trying :

- Mouse is working OK but behaves strangely : it goes very slowly on the horizontal axis and much too fast on the vertical axis. It's independant from the phone orientation, BTW (i.e. : it still goes too slow on the horizontal axis and too fast on the vertical axis though they have swapped roles, so it's not related to the number of pixels to travel).

Can anything be done about that ?

- External hard disks can't be seen. Is that because they're NTFS formatted ? USB flash drives are working OK.

- I also tried Zenos drivers : they seem just not to work at all... :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] el_venga:
i tested external hard drive and worked, although i dont remember if it was ntfs or fat32.

zenos are for old MSM7xxx cpus.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
In the meanwhile, I got confirmation that WM6.5 doesn't support NTFS.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GoldRenard:

You must have external 5V supply or powered usb-hub. Your cable is not suitable for LEO.

Will this work using a USB 1.0 hub??

Hi there,

This would be a fantastic application - if only it worked for me! :(

I am trying to get it to work with an old USB 1.0 hub - is this my problem?

I do not have a USB 2.0 hub, so is it worth me going out to buy one?

I don't have a need for one apart from this if that will make it work.

Basically has anyone who has got this to work used a USB1.0 hub?

Thanks in anticipation,

Graham.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Only real way to know is to grab a 2.0 hub and test it out. The only real difference between 1.0/1.1 and 2.0 is the speed. It's a max rate of 12Mbps or 480Mbps respectively. Make sure you are supplying external power to the hub as well. The HD2 does not provide the juice to your hub, no matter which version you use.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GrahamST:
I had another go at this tonight but was unsuccessful again :(

- This time I dismantled an old unused USB 1.0 hub, removed 2 female USB sockets and connected them back to back (twisted so that the +ve and -ve were connected). I then added +5.25V and 0V to the appropriate pins, connected it up to a USB pen (it lit up) and also to the HD2 (it indicated that it was at least receiving charge).

Launching the USB Host Switch application on the HD2 sadly still did not allow me to see the USB pen drive in Total Commander (or File Manager).

I had set the Settings, Connections "USB to PC" to "Disk Drive", and unticked the "ask me first" option as mentioned in posts above prior to connecting the hub connectors and launching the application.

Does anyone have any other ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?

I thought that I must have bypassed my original USB 1.0 / 2.0 hub question by trying it this way, but sadly no joy.

Thanks in anticipation,

Graham.

I am using an Energy 4 July ROM if that makes any difference?.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GrahamST:
*bump* *bump*
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GrahamST:
Success - (Sort of!)

Well I "bit the bullet" and laid out £13 for a powered USB 2.0 hub - plugged it in, and followed the instructions, and IT WORKED - at least on a 16 GB SD card from my camera plugged into a card reader.

I shall now be able to back up / copy / e-mail my holiday photos while I am away without having to take a laptop with me! which was my primary objective with this application.

:D

Strangely however it did not seem to be able to recognize my 320 GB external hard disk drive, to allow me to copy video files onto my HD2 (which was my secondary objective with this application).

:(

Does anyone have any ideas why it might not work? It looks as though other users have successfully managed to get their HD2s to recognize large external hard drives?

The external drive is a Seagate FreeAgent Go external hard disk not requiring external power (as it uses power from the USB hub). It looks as though it is powering up correctly so I believe that it is getting sufficient power from the hub.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

GrahamST
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BenGman:
The HD2 can only recognise FAT32 partitions, not the likely NTFS of your 320GB external hard drive.

See http://www.hdd-tool.com/partition-manager/convert-ntfs-to-fat32-without-data-losing.htm for more information if you still want to try using your external drive with the HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GrahamST:
Thank you BenGman, I had not considered that aspect of it...... I shall have a look at converting my disk to FAT32 using the Peartition Magic Partition Manager which I already have on my PC.

Regards

GrahamST
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
I tried already to format my 500 GB external hard drive in FAT32, but it can't be recognized either.

Maybe the clusters are too large and exceed basic FAT32 specifications.

No problem at all with SD cards inserted in an USB card reader, nor with large USB pendrives, but of course, these ones currently barely exceed 16 GB for affordable common models.

The only real problem I have is the mouse driver : it's still terribly slow on one axis and terribly fast on the other one ! :D

Of course, it must be related to the mouse driver itself, rather than the USB host driver. Hoping somewhere could provide a fixed version, or find where to hex edit the driver... :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MM2forever:
Great thing so far... But everything I attach works for like 5 seconds... then the driver seems to be disabled... What am I doing wrong?

(So far I read trough the thread and it seems people get either a full working or a not working... I got something in between...)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GrahamST:
SUCCESS!!!

Thank you for your help.

A FAT32 formatted 320GB Hard Disk did the trick and worked fine, and I have been able to copy files from it and from my camera SD card onto the HD2 when away from my PC with gay (?!) abandon!

Kind Regards,

GrahamST

Ok so now that we can unlock our bootloader through HTC what's next? Does this turn S off?

[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
HTC never said it would be S-off only that the bootloader would be unlocked. You still need to find an exploit to gain s-off so a custom recovery can be installed. If you remember the original Evo had an unlocked bootloader but you still needed an exploit like unrevoked's rage against the cage to gain access to s-off and custom recovery. You still have alot of work ahead of you and now you've voided any warranty that isn't hardware related. Also, it says on the HTC's website that once you unlock any future OTA's may brick your phone. You are definitely better off using Revolutionary.io.
[HTC EVO 3D] jordan23945bulls:
so could unrevoked come up with something now that the bootloaders are unlocked with HTC? to root the phone.
