Still, not even one device damaged by overclocking is known.

On the other hand, you should be very wary of USB host mode. The USB connector is known to be very problematic, so the extra connections and disconnections are sure to reduce you device's useful life span. And when you go to Nokia service with the broken USB connection, they will fix it (or not, as they please).

well, i said thanks not because I DEFINITELY will follow his advice but that his point of view was noted; no more, no less

I approach both the OC and this app with my own caution and risks and I make sure I understand each process thoroughly enough (maybe not like some pros here) and only do it.

then you can see power kernel in multiboot options. it works for me!

i had a kernel problem what i have did wrong is first i installed u-boot and it turns out that it doesn't work well with kernel power so i had to reflash the device to the nokia kernel. then i installed Android with boot menu it worked well but i could't install kernel power to play with h-e-n. i searched regarding this topic for long time at last i installed kernel-power-bootmenu thanks to bzbnd. i love you man ...

Had already kernel power 46 from devel installed.
Installed H-e-n (Hostmode Gui ) 0.3 from devel.
Installed first extmou (1.0.5) but had problems with mouse cursor moving and buttons. Uninstalled it and installed Bt-hid-scripts2 (0.13-1fremantle1) and it worked properly.

Plugged in Kingston 2gb and it worked.
Plugged in Microsoft wireless mouse 3500 and it worked.
Next going to try some card readers and more stuff.

Thanks for giving huge grin on my face :)

I have also kernel power v46 and extmou which is working. Then i installed h-e-n gui but not working.

While sitting here and pondering it... Some of us are in a pinch sometimes, with broken N900, or pizza stash running out. So here it is, the extra huge >thanks< button:
[project finished, donations button removed. Thanks to all donors]
Strictly voluntary donation for Coke, Pizza, and hostmode hardware. Doesn't create an obligation on either side. Won't entitle you to request support of any kind. Donations are shared among the h-e-n team on h-e-n project leader's discretion.

:) xmas and
cheers

Hi obhishap
This all looks good to me. You attached a Verbatim Store'n'Go 2GB scsii mass storage.
Should just work. Please check in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65570 about possible problems with mounting it.

cheers

1- open h-e-n
2- Connect ur cables and flash
3- select high speed mode
4- wait for a few seconds then click vBus boost on
5- Wat for some more time
6- click enumerate and wait for some time before u mount. Check ur kernel messages for the model of the flash to show up. if it does, then do the following

Check if /dev/sda1 exists or not

Code:

 cd /dev/



ls

Then check if media/flash exists or not

Code:

cd /media



ls

Then if both exists, do this

Code:

mount /dev/sda1 /media/flash

In my case, sda1 doesn't exist. I created a sda1 directory but then it also doesn't show up. What to do ? thanks

Hi Joerg.
Thanks for the reply. I tried every possible things I could do but no luck. You suggest to go to the problem thread but I did already as you can check even the last post is mine. I am waiting for last three days but no body came there. I figured that i am missing of the sda1 thingy and couldn't figure it out. I tried to mount the drive manually but returned with no such file or directory. Now I am losted and need your hand to come out from the dark.Thanks

As the log states, you get a /dev/sda device node. Not /dev/sda1 .

So, try

Code:

mount /dev/sda /mnt/whatever

and see what happens.
