USB OTG Support

Hi, All Stellar users...

Has any one tried using USB OTG function, means you can connect external HDD to our stellar directly using micro-USB to USB host cable.

Does the stellar support USB OTG either in GB or after upgrade to ICS.

Experts please reply, actully I thought to use it for sharing my external HDD over wi-fi to my new Windows 8 TAB.

1) Connect external HDD to stellar(if it supports it,:p )

2) Enable Wi-Fi hot-spot on stellar(tethering)

3) Access the HDD on TAB over wi-fi, using file explorer

So, please advise on this...

To change the baseband

Hey,

I'm pretty much a noob, sorry if I'm wasting others' time,

I tried installing both the MIUI ROM's , I did that after I got the official ICS Update. Both the times, everything worked perfectly, except at both times, the sim card networks weren't being recognized.

I went through the forum and found the latest baseband files. Can someone please show me how to update the baseband using those files after the update.

Sorry I lost the post with the baseband updates somewhere in between. :P I did download the latest baseband files before moving on to another page.

Thank You.

It needs root permissions for almost everything. I downloaded a recovery.img and tried flashing it but it keeps asking for root permissions. heck, I had flashed a custom recovery through the fastboot mode, but it flatly resused to reboot into recovery, asking me to root the phone first :(

BTW, prasad and others who are researching on the root - the right version of CWM for this phone is 2.5.1.2. It's available HERE! Scroll down beyond Samsung to find "Spice". not available on the official site. Google for it!

Appreciate your effort, but the threads didn't really help.

To use ROM Manager or Mobileuncle to any other tools which offer an option to install custom recovery and/or "reboot to recovery", one MUST have root access. Without root, tools like ROM manager are pretty much useless.

Nevertheless, right now, you can use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, but without ADB, there is no means of booting the phone into recovery mode.

BTW anyone here has tried researching on QPST?

Recovery mode guide

I guess you dont know how to reboot to recovery

1)turn off the phone.

2)Press vol up and Power button and keep pressing it.

3)First,you will see green fastboot screen but You should keep pressing the buttons.

4)if you keep the keys pressed,After sometime you will see a RED screen named recovery.

5)now release the buttons and recovery mode will open.

Tips:if you keep pressing even after red screen,your phone will reboot.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bbsrailfan:
Advantages & of MI410 (compared to MI425)

Metallic Body

Easy rooting, lot of development (Since it's a Huawei Phone)

Custom ROMs

Better looks (in my opinion)

Advantages of MI425 (Compared to MI410)

Better LCD/ display

Dual SIM

Slightly better camera (i think the hardware is the same but drivers are different)

Much more powerful battery

No idea about processor and graphics performance, maybe you can post some benchmark scores for comparison.

Video calling is supported only via Skype/Yahoo/Fring etc. Network-based video calls are not supported.
