Is it possible?
It doesn't work by default when connected to an android device with USB tethering enabled.
My guess is that there needs to be software in place to bring up the USB network?
Oops. Mod please move to general.
I'm pretty sure the latest tiamat kernel supports this

I have been trying to set up/enable USB tethering from my rooted Droid Incredible (running CM7) to my rooted Xoom (HC 3.1, kernel 1.4.2, wireless only).
When I type : "Cd /dev/block" then "ls" on my Xoom terminal I can see "sda" for phone and "sda1" for my USB flash drive. And my phone recognizes the USB connection to my Xoom.
But when I type "busybox mount /dev/block/sda1/mnt/usbotg" on Xoom, the response is > "mount: can't read '/etc/fstab' : No such file or directory"
And while I can enable USB tethering on my phone, my Xoom doesn't recognize it (of course). My phone is also charging from the Xoom.

Same problem. Using the tiamat kernel, have USB tether enabled on the phone, but the xoom doesn't recognize it. Is there something I need to do in user space to enable the tether on the xoom?

Thread moved to Q&A... Since it's a [Q]uestion.

Does someone know if it possible to host a device like an android phone rooted over wifi, on the motorola Xoom? It could be nice to use a terminal emulator on the Xoom for send command to the phone...
I know you can do VNC.
Maybe i should start to learn how to use VNC...

Hey folks,
I've successfully installed ADB Wireless (can't post links, it's on the Market) on my TF, and connected on port 5555 using my Windows machine - stock rooted 8.6.5.9 US.
Haven't seen any mention of it here, can't find any reports of problems with it - so if you read this and you already have root (it needs superuser permissions) then save yourself the pain of having to cable it up
Or am I missing something?
Cheers

Yeah been using it for a while, work great. Was already using it on the Nexus 1 so I tried with the TF and it work just the same.

Are you talking about trying to transfer files to/from a USB flash drive? If so, I've encountered the same. I spoke to Samsung tech support and they confirmed that the I727 Skyrocket is not OTG USB Host Enabled... while the GS2 I777 stock kernel is Host enabled. That said, there was one member on this forum who states their stock Skyrocket is OTG USB Host enabled (allowing him to transfer files to/from a USB flash drive). We need a developer to advise if/when a kernel (preferable stock + otg USB host enabled) can be developed for our i727 Skyrocket.
If you talking about transferring files to a computer, you should have that capability. Make sure USB Debugging is checked on phone and you have the correct drivers installed on your PC.
I'm talking about transferring files(pictures,movies,etc..) I have USB debugging enabled and I downloaded the drivers presented on the forums here. It just connects then disconnects repeatedly. I'm pretty sure its a driver issue but I'm using the ones from xda. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated

You're not supposed to use USB Debugging for transferring files like that.
Just turn off debugging.
Then when you plug in the USB cable, the notifications bar should let you know it's connected. So click on that notification about the USB, then click the option to "connect".
It's kind of redundant if you ask me, but it's how it works.
I know it don't have to be ticked to transfer files. It does it whether its on or off. I'm just trying to get it to stay locked in so my computer recognizes it

And it also makes it quite frustrating to flash or anything via computer

Well I'm not sure then. Here's a few things to try:
1) Different USB port on your computer. If you're using a rear port, then try a front port. Sometimes they use different chipsets.
2) Different USB cable. They can get flakey sometimes.
3) Go into 3E Recovery and clear cache. Could be a setting that got whacked out.

I had ICS on a different tablet and had no trouble using mtp with Linux either through the device mounter (KDE/Plasma) or just using mtpfs. With the Samsung 5113 though I "see" the MTP device but it times out. Here's an mtp-detect log:
Code:
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT-P7310/P7510/N7000/I9100/Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/Nexus/Note.
Found 1 device(s):
Samsung: GT-P7310/P7510/N7000/I9100/Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/Nexus/Note (04e8:6860) @ bus 2, dev 26
Attempting to connect device(s)
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
LIBMTP PANIC: failed to open session on second attempt
Unable to open raw device 0
OK.
Any ideas? Yeah, I know I can use sshfs and a variety of other ways to get to the device. Just wondering why MTP seems broken.
Bumping this thread ...
I recently upgraded to Fedora 17 and found that libmtp has a known defect that prevents the tablet from connecting. Perhaps you've got the same issue on your nonfunctioning system.
Did you ever find a solution? I now copy files to/from my tablet using scp.

No real solution. Like you, I use scp or ES Explorer or adb or some other mechanism.
I did a little more research this morning and got mtp to work between Fedora 17 and my 3113 tablet.
I did a couple things in total, although I'm thinking the 2nd one was the solution:
1) add vid/pid pair to my 51-android.rules file with 0755 permissions
2) disabled "USB debugging" under development settings. Apparently with that enabled, you can only move files with adb [push | pull].
Now I can connect my tablet to my Linux machine with a USB cable and create files/folders with the Linux file manager.
Hope it works for you as well. Copying with scp over wireless is pretty painful.

Ah. I do development so never thought to try that. I already have the machine in my udev files. Turning off USB debug did not seem to work. I went back and killed my adb-server (which I confess was running) and that still didn't work. May try everything again after a clean boot. But the symptoms were the same.
Still, might be something to it.
The MTP mounted device now seems to work but it doesn't really seem to be stable or fast. I can copy small files easily but large files really don't seem to copy any quicker than scp. I did successfully copy a 1.7GB mp4 movie without any problems but it took almost 20 minutes with mtp/USB connection.

Still can't get it to work. I already had the udev rules and turning off USB debug didn't help. We aren't the only ones with issues. Lots more detail here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077377
Also gphoto2 has some success in reading info from the "camera" (for example, battery level) but I still can't get it to see any files.
Are you running a stock kernel? I'm running the kernel that comes with CM9. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Thx for the thread URL. I would like to get a reliable wired transfer solution.

Well, I am semi-stock. It is the 4.0.4 stock with my own init.d add on and rooted. But yes, it is the stock kernel. I keep thinking of switching to CM9 but suspect it will cost me my IR blaster. I don't use it very often but I always think I will But I know it is just a matter of time before I switch.
Even stranger. If you click on the USB options and pick PTP mode, your root directory of internal and external show up and gphoto2 sees it all. But all the subdirectories are empty! So close, but no cigar. gphotofs, as you would expect, sees the same thing.
Update: ok so here's an answer for ADB: https://github.com/isieo/adbfs
Doesn't handle symlinks but on the other hand you can get to the whole file system.
One thing though, adb MUST be on your path for this to work. The adbfs file can be anywhere and it doesn't matter if it is with the adb executable or not.
I couldn't find anything about this but I'm wondering if this phone has host mode built in? I had it on my fascinate through a aokp Rom and I see in root explorer in /mnt in has usb a usb b...etc...is this how I would access this? Is that even what they are?...I'm rooted and unlocked but on a stock Rom for now...patiently waiting for aokp to be more stable...and if those usb mounts are that can I hook up thing like a mouse to it?
