DSLR Camera USB input

Can anyone tell me if rooting will make this possible?
I want to be able to plug my DSLR camera directly into the USB on my Xoom and download the pictures. Is this possible if I root and use the new Tiamat Kernel?
Thanks,

I don't think tethering a camera has been possible on any android device yet.

You cant control a DSLR but it might mount as an external drive. Havent tried it myself yet, need to order to right cable or adapter.

I have the adapter on the way. And yes, I didnt want to control it, only mount the CF card in the camera so I can access the pictures.

Yeah the only way I've found to accomplish what you are trying to do was to use an external USB card reader, which (assuming you have rooted and performed the USB host hack) you can plug into the xoom (via adapter) and read the CF off of the card reader. In order for the camera to connect directly to the Xoom, I believe the Xoom would have to have drivers for the camera itself (though I could be wrong, but either way that method doesn't work as of now).

without the drivers installed on my pc my camera acts like a usb card reader

Can someone walk me through how to mount mass storage? I am trying to hook up my camera so see the photos on the SD cardof the camera. I am rooted using the tiamat 1.4.0 kernel. I have hooked it up with my cable adapter and checked usbOTG, external, and sdcard2 but none of the files show up there. I rebooted and still nothing. Do I need to run a script fro it to show up?

Very cool... I'd love to see a pimped out photoshop for honeycomb

Can someone help explain to me how to mount a USB mass storage device like a thumb drive or USB card rerader?

Motorola has a USB camera accessory (and pending software update) to enable PTP which will likely do watch you need. Coming very soon. No rooting required.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054636

I have read the mounting USB storage thread and followed the directions exactly but I am having issues. I posted in that thread this same question but it doesnt seem to be getting any attention so I figured i would try the same question here as its all related. I am trying to access the CF card in mt camera but i cant get the script to work.
gscript continues to give a permission denied error everytime I run either script even though I have chmod'd all files and folders.
mount -o remount,rw /
mkdir /mnt/ntfsdisk
ln -s /mnt/ntfsdisk /ntfsdisk
ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/ntfsdisk
scriptor says:
couldn't set local enviornment, using default {null}
failed to access /dev/block/sda1 please check dev/block/sda1 and the ntfs-3g binary permissions and the mounting user ID
do i need to do anything from the roebeet page if i am already running tiamat 1.4.0? All i did was follow the instructions from the first post of this thread.
I was able to plug in a 2gb thumb drive and see it under the OTG folder. Still no luck mounting a NTFS drive though.
I HAVE A WIFI XOOM
thanks,

Bump for help

Would love to see this

Buy an Eye-Fi card for your camera and download the eye-fi app for your xoom. once the two are paired, every new photo you take with your camera will appear on your xoom over wifi. No cables needed.

You can find a great app in the market called "DSLR Controller". Currently only works with Cannon DSLR and requires root, but allows full control and live preview of your camera right on your xoom. It's Awesome !

[Q] SR not recognizing USB flash drive?

I bought one of these for my OG SGS2, and it worked flawlessly... just plugged in and phone recognized my USB flash drive... showed up under /sdcard/usbstorage, and could easily transfer files back and forth.

I returned the OG SGS2 for the i727-SR a few days ago. However, for some reason the i727-SR does not recognize my USB flash drive like the OG did. Is there some other setting I'm missing? Anyone tried a USB Female to USB Micro Adapter on the SR to read a flash drive? Thx

you need a kernel for "USB on the GO"

So the OG GS2 stock kernel has this... but the i727-SR stock kernel does not?

Works fine on mine. Has to be an otg cable and not a gender changer.

Here's the thing... I have 2 of those cables.. both work fine with the i777 OG-GS2 (once connected, the "USB Device Connected" icon in pull-down appears and stays so you can disconnect later). However, on the i727-SR, when I connect the Sandisk flash drive (8Gb), it says "USB Device Connected"... "Media Scanning Completed", but the USB icon does not appear in pull down. When I open files with Root Explorer, I can see /sdcard/usbstorage/SDA folder, but no files in the folder. On the flash drive I have 162mb used and 7.31 GB free; but when in the SR /sdcard/usbstorage/SDA folder it reads "0k used, 392.22mb Free". Can it be a hardware on the SR or something inherently different in the SR kernel vs the OG-Gs2 kernel?

Interesting... you can read a USB flash drive on your Skyrocket? Are you running stock ROM/Kernel? I just got off the phone with Samsung Support and they shared that the i727 Skyrocket does not support OTG USB Host enablement (i.e., won't read a USB Flash Drive).

Do you have a Skyrocket? Cause your tag says you have an SGS2.

updated. Yes, was using Melvin stock, which is stock kernel, restoring stock nandroid and will check again...

just tried on rooted stock, works fine.

still confused whether or not the skyrocket supports USB OTG. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?

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.

You already use external power to power up your USB disk? Last time very few kernal support USB Host but can't remember default CM kernal support it. Maybe because I never try it.

Yes, I use the external power. The app named USB Host Controller shows S3C USB Host Driver found. And I also found the driver in the source code of CM 10. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_crespo/tree/ics/drivers/usb

direct OTG cable will never work in atrix2, you have to use Y cable or powered hub to mount flash drive or any device like keyboard or mouse.
any how you have to give external power for mounting device in atrix2

No. It requires external power as before.
