Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

But did you verify that boostoff actually kills booston? I just updated and with your new package, boostoff run from a root shell doesn't kill the booston loop running in the background for me.

Thanks!

Whenever I try to copy something from the internal flash to the usb flaash drive it tells me location is read-only. But I can write from USB flash drive to internal flash. It is formatted fat32. Can some one tell me how to solve this.

Yes I have file box but I do not know how to change from root to usb drive.

This never has been the topic though. What Mohammad quoted completely correctly, was a lock to 500MHz while on Nokia wallcharger which is new to all stock PR1.3 kernels
Sorry I have to say you are totally wrong here, and it's actually YOU who is spreading FUD. It's commonly known and documented problem of overclocking that lifespan of the SoC will be drastically reduced, Nokia's Igor Stoppa (a guy not attributed to spread FUD regularly) claims you MUST NOT lock CPU at even 600MHz or device will take harm.
I leave it to you as an exercise to find all the citations, they are all here in this forum.
And, pretty please, would you elaborate on where you see any dangers in hostmode modifications! I can't find any, and I talked with other obviously more knowledgeable people that you are, and they neither can understand your concerns.
So please enlighten us, or stop this unjustified rant and offense.

Many thanks

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

As for me - all the flash drives had worked well, card reader, all mouses (but Quake III somehow did not work as it was expected ;) ) had worked fine as well. But - no hard drives (despite the fact that I'm pretty sure they had enough power). And the most annoying part - not a single time had a flash disk been mounted automatically (but logs display everything correct - device is mounted to /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdc or something else. Only problem - it doesn't mounts to /media/flash), so hope developers will fix this small bug soon.

Anyway - well done! Tremendous work and amazing results! You made my day! :)

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

The mount button was a very quick botch up by me for quick mounting /dev/sda1.
Automounting should obviously work in future version, sadly, ke-recv doesn't mount them automatically for some reason, so either ke-recv has to be fixed or a workaround made in the GUI itself.

From 4 flash drives only one worked. A sony 1GB drive. What is the problem with the other 3??? One of the non-working one is a Sandisk U3 8GB

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

Did you reenumerate in between flash swaps?

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

Yes. I did. And I even restarted the phone. I do not know why. I also tried an mp4 player and a microsd to usb card reader but nothing. In the kernel log it detects them but in file mangers I do not see anything.
