USB GPS On Tablet - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I’ve been working on trying to connect my USB GPS dongle (Chipset: Ublox 6) to my tablet through USB OTG Cable. Since my tablet isn’t popular (Can’t find on the forum’s list), I had to do it myself.
(My knowledge about Linux isn’t that good (I’m a high school student who is on summer vacation), please forgive me if I made a mistake )
1.Ublox said the driver for Linux is cdc-acm, so I downloaded from a website and tried to install the kernel module (cdc-acm.ko) through insmod, but a vermagic error came up, said that the module’s version is 3.0.8 and mine is 3.0.8+, I tried using insmod –f , still no good luck.
2.Then I tried to modify the module’s vermagic with a HexEditor, install it again, but I got a “Segmentation falut” error.
3.Then I tried to use “busybox modprobe cdc-acm”, but it says “cannot parse modules.dep”, so I tried to create the folder “/lib/modules/3.0.8+” manually (I know this could be silly), then “busybox depmod”, finally run “busybox modprobe cdc-acm” again, but still the same error.
4.Then I remember that when I plug in the device, dmesg said
“usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using….”
“usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1546, idProduct=01a6”
Then nothing happened.
5.At last, I found out that I have “usb_modeswitch.d” in /etc
And my device profile isn’t listed there, but how could I know my device’s profile?
I know the vendor, the product, but how about the “MessageContent”?
By the way, what’s the difference between “DefaultVendor” and “TargetVendor”, “DefaultProduct” and “TargetProduct”
I know the post may be too long,
But to sum up, Is it possibly going to work if I create my Device Profile and everything will work out?
I still doesn’t have “cdc-acm.ko” install yet. (Though I already put it in /system/lib/modules)
By the way, I don’t have the folder /dev/ttyusb0 /dev/usb/tty0
I only have /dev/bus/usb/001 with nothing in it.
Sorry again for my bad Linux knowledge.
Thanks A Lot!!!

Tetherbot not working for Linux :(

Can someone help?
I got it working on XP but I also have Linux (Ubuntu) installed on this machine.
I can't seem to get it to work though.
Install the app on your android phone (DONE)
Turn USB debugging on on your phone (DONE)
On your G1 go to the home screen, press MENU > Settings > Applications > Development, then enable USB debugging. (DONE)

I tried creating the file and it saved ok but when I closed it, I got this error.

Not sure about the first error. You might want to retry editing the rules file using nano or vim or emacs.
As for the second, you seem to have installed the windows version of the sdk or your path is point to the windows binaries.
Sounds like you don't have a /root directory? I've never seen that error before. If you want to use gedit, create the file in your home directory, then sudo mv it to /etc/udev/rules.d
As for the second, you need to install the android sdk for linux. The code is available from here: http://code.google.com/android/download.html
There may be a deb for ubuntu somewhere if you google. I just compiled it. The SDK contains the adb utility.

WTF? Can adb.exe be executed on Linux??
You'll enjoy a lot more success if you stop trying to run executables compiled for Windows in Linux
Do you need USB 2.0 for the tethering to work, or even just adb & mounting the G1 as a storage device? On my one laptop (w/ USB 2.0) I can adb into it fine, I have Ubuntu 8.10 and I never had to install any drivers (not manually at least), I never tried the tethering because I just do it through wireless using iptables -- if I ever need it.
The problem is with an older Toshiba laptop that has no NIC or wireless, I could get a dongle but I wanted to try changing the system wide proxy to go to the G1 once its plugged in -- make this into like my car PC or something. I only have a basic command line install of Ubuntu 8.10 right now but it won't even allow me to mount it as a drive. I see /dev/sdb get added when I plug it in, but not sdb1 for the actual data so I can't mount it (tried formatting as FAT32 & 16). (Note: I had this working fine with a basic flash drive -- thats how I got adb on there to check for devices - which didn't find anything either. Also I had it working with some belkin wifi usb a few months ago). Now that I think about it I didn't try it with just a regular USB cable to see if at least the mounting works, even though I def need the data cable for the tethering. So does it have to be USB 2.0? Also do I need the drivers just to adb or mount it (I'm pretty sure the driver is just for the actual tethering though)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you try mounting /dev/sdb? It sounds like your sdcard has a raw fat filesystem, instead of having a partition formatted with fat. Also, you have to click "mount" in the usb notification thing that comes up on your phone after you plug it in.

I did mount it on the actual device. Also I tried formatting it twice with gParted, both times with the full disk as the partition, once as fat32 and second time fat16. When I tried to mount /dev/sdb all that came up was something about couldn't find the partitions and it echo'd out the error a couple of times before it stopped, I forget the exact error but I'll check when I get home. I tried to mount it both as dos and vfat, no luck on the Toshiba, doing it on my Vaio though it was fine, both command line and just letting Gnome pick it up.
Also on the Vaio as soon as I plug it in I get /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1, but not on the Toshiba. The Vaio has Ubuntu Desktop Edition while the Toshiba has minimum command line install, but I believe it shouldn't need anything special to mount the fat16 drive.
I'll try with a regular USB cable and making sure I have whatever dependencies to read Windows partitions when I get home later on and see if that does anything different. Thanks anyway.
I'm not sure why you would even try to format the USB drive. Not useful.
When you plug in the device, you should see a device appear but that is not the sdcard. That will not be visible until you select the notification which appears on the device and choose to mount the drive. At this point, the sdcard will appear in dmesg and can be mounted from Linux.
For adb purposes (which is for tethering), you first need to get adb working right. The absolute first step there is to get the window version of adb away, away, away- GONE!- and make sure you have the linux verison installed. Next you need to create the udev rules. If you use any text editor, create a file in /tmp called 50-android.rules containing one line:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
and save it. The sudo mv that file to /etc/udev/rules.d, you should be good to go. I would restart udevd just for grins (sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart), then plug in your phone again and see what adb devices gives you, taking great care to use the linux version of adb.

Haha, trust me I have no Windows anything on any of my machines. I was planning on putting fluxbox or icewm on this so I can have rhythmbox, totem, browser, pyroute - some big icons with the windows set to open full screen so i can use in my car and script it to mount the drive for the music or movies and start tethering and possibly create something to pass over the gps info for navigation when plugged in. If I get it to work with this older/slower laptop I can then def recreate it or something later on with like a mini-itx/atom based pc and a small touchscreen or something (even though in that case I might be better off just putting Android on it). Really just to **** around ya know..
I was formatting just trying to get mounting to work, I def made sure to enable the mounting on the G1 before I tried it but it just wouldn't mount, "adb devices" wouldn't find anything, but you're right about dmesg echoing stuff, but it was errors, as soon as I clicked mount on the G1. I'll try creating that file like suggested and a few other things.
I'll return with more specifics on the errors when I try this out. Thanks for all the help though.

I just set this up on my vmplayer running ubuntu, I can use adb shell so the tetherbot app should work..

[SOLVED] Infuse wont connect to Ubuntu....

UPDATE-SOLVED: So I used the terminal command dmesg to see what errors were coming up relating to the usb port. It turns out I was getting the popular "unable to enumerate usb device on port..." error. From a google search on this I was able to find other people with my same problem, albeit with other types of devices not working on the usb ports. So someone tried a simple fix and worked. Ill quote it here just for the sake of keeping you on this page...
Some hardware just don’t work with ehci_hcd on Karmic Koala. My memory stick from transcend refused to work no matter what I did. After plugging the device nothing happened, doing dmesg showed me the following error:
Apr 18 10:59:04 dpac-laptop kernel: [73668.388060] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
Apr 18 10:59:04 dpac-laptop kernel: [73668.473034] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2
After searching a lot, I came to a conclusion that my device doesn’t work with USB 2.0. So I disabled the ehci_hcd to make it work.
Since Karmic doesn’t use ehci_hcd as a module, modprobe -r ehci_hcd no longer works. The module is compiled into kernel. To disable it execute the following commands in terminal:
1: cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
2: ls
You will see a file with 0000:00:xx.x format. Execute the following command:
1: sudo sh -c 'echo -n "0000:00:xx.x" > unbind'
#Replace the xx.x with the numbers displayed on your file. It should disable the ehci_hcd.
I plugged in my memory stick, and it worked.
Please note that you’ll have to do all this each time you restart.
UPDATE
You can now use the following script to disable ehci_hcd. It is far more simpler since it just needs you copy pasting the commands instead of a manual action. Here it goes:
1: cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/
2: sudo sh -c 'find ./ -name "0000:00:*" -print| sed "s/\.\///">unbind'
Cheers!
Ok so I just finished installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu 11.04 on my g/f's old Sony Vaio from 2003/04. I tried plugging in the Infuse to see if the computer will recognize it. So when I select 'Mass storage' from the connection menu, the connect screen with the green android robot will pop up for a split second, then disappear. So there is no way for me to mount the phone to the computer. The option doesnt even appear in the notification bar. Sometimes the robot screen wont even appear at all. I check the cable, and it works 100% fine on my win 7 64 bit pc. It just doesnt seem to want to do anything on the Ubuntu pc. The phone will charge, but thats about it. Im running the clean Gingerbread update on the Infuse. Nothing modded, and as i said, the Ubuntu is clean install as well. Ive tried this with usb debugging on and off. Ive also tried restarting both phone and pc and nothing changes.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks a million.
weird. try other USB devices. you could have motherboard driver issues.
I'd check the Ubuntu forums and see if others with that hardware have any issues with USB devices. you may need to find some alternative drivers that aren't in the stock Ubuntu build or find a different computer.

I have tried some flash drives. They seem to work just fine. When I plug the phone in under the mass storage option, I open up a terminal and type usb-devices, and i see the three ports listed, but it shows that nothing is being detected on any of them.
Linux driver should be perfect, before connects to PC the mass storage mode should be selected.

I made sure it was selected. I also just got finished setting up the Android SDK on the Ubuntu laptop. ADB does not recognize that the device is plugged in at all. It can see my flash drives, but nothing comes up for my phone. Even with usb debugging on it did not see it. Im at a loss. Im beginning to think that this may have something to do with the Gingerbread update. Can someone with the update try to connect to Ubuntu and let me know if they have success? Ide hate to have to revert my device to Froyo or an unofficial rom to develop. =/
well I see you fixed it. did you get adb going?

Yes! How?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
are you asking how he fixed it?(he updated the op if that's what you are interested in) or how to get adb going.? adb works on Ubuntu as long as the device connects but you need to setup some device information first.
I forget the location but you need to create a file called 70rules.android (if my memory serves me right) with the vendor I.d and some other information. let me know and ill find a link on it.
Yes! I was able to finally get adb going after I had fixed the USB detection. Once I had applied the changes above my computer would immediately recognize the phone in both normal and debug mode and I could transfer files to and from it freely. Also, typing in ./adb devices finally showed my device as being connected with the proper vendor id as well.
The file I believe yyour referring to is named 70-android.rules and its only part of a whole process on getting the sdk setup on the laptop. There are a lot of hits for setting g it up on Google. There is also a whole guide for this here on xda which I had followed.

[Q] Can I develop/put my own drivers onto Android. (To get USB peripherials working)

So I have many many things I want to do with (Specifically) USB devices on my TF101. It's my baby and I use it for almost everything now, but there's still a few problems I haven't been able to shake or get other answers too.
I have a USB-MIDI cable that doesn't work (isn't detected, I think driver issue/isn't supported) Could I make a driver to do this so I can connect my keyboard to my tf and record some jams?
More Important
I have a USB - 3.5 mm converter/cable, usb in, headphone port out. It's by logitech and works fine on computer to plug any 3.5mm headphones into, not at all on android though. My headphone port is broken so this would be an amazing thing to get working properly.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, even workarounds to get these things working.
Well actually when you are rooted, you can anything!
If nothing helps, you can write your own kernel module since you can compile yourself a custom kernel.
Therefore: yes, we can

Alright then step 1 is complete I suppose! xD I am rooted and running the tastymehICS kernel.
Gratz good luck for everything else - access to the whole system is open now!
In my opinion guvours kernel is a bit better (got less - not to say no - SoD).
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
I've tried both and guevor's seemed a bit more unstable for long periods of usage --just my preference, but that's beside the point xD"
So does anyone know how I could go about creating + adding drivers to the system?
You need download kernel source from asus site and prepare build environment according google andriod development site. Then you can build your kernel a start to add new features and write new kernel modules
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I have windows drivers, all I'd need to do is port them, not necessarily write a whole new kernel X3
you don't need write whole kernel, source code for current stock kernel are on asus web site. And you don't have sources for guevor or other kernel. Is not possible to port windows driver to andriod without source code.
Try find if linux driver for you device exist. If yes, it is easy to add it to asus kerenel for transformer. And later is possible to combine your device driver (module) with some other custom kernel.
(I have working USB dvb-t stick on my transformer)
Thanks, I misread what I thought you read when I posted (if that makes any sense x.x")
Ok, it's plug and play on my linux machine too, where could I find the driver to import? So how would I make a module + combine with the guevor/tastymehics kernel?
ok, if your device is plug and play in linux, install any terminal emulation application into transformer (if you not have now) and use "lsusb" then plug your device into usb and use lsusb command again.
You should see something like BUS 001 Device 001: ID 1a4b:0003.
Then use google and try find what module is needed for device 1a4b:0003
then you need environment for building kernel and use some comamnd to build yout kernel module.
1) make menuconfig - choice module needed for your device
2) make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=mydroid/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi- modules
this comple kernel modules for your device. Or you can ask for help from one of developer of custom kernel what you use to comile module what you need from his suource. Kernel and kernel modules musbe compiled from same version.
then copy modules to transformer and use insmod command to load it into kernel. Then you can plug in your device and it should work. (use dmesg to check if device driver is loaded)
Please post "dmesg" output after you plug your device in.(e.g last 10 lines) and output from lsusb.
Take a look in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513490
There is a lot of possibilities to play with usb drivers.

These are the log results asked for. I'm looking into the module now, thanks
At this point I have 4 options to fix my headphone port (that I know of)
1. Open it and try to sauter the port back together (best but, dangerous :/)
2. Get this driver stuff to work so I can use my adapter (great)
3. Bluetooth headphones (meh sound quality from my experience, but good if they work, also expensive)
4. HDMI-Out to Rca to 3.5mm to headphones. (UGH CABLES, but all I would need is the hdmi-rca cable.)

[Resolved] OnePlus One + NetHunter - no power on otg AND LKM support issue

Hello everybody! Noobing the shoozle out of my:
OnePlus One, model A0001 / 64GB currently with: Android 6.0.1 / Cyanogen OS version: 13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon / CyanogenMod API level: Elderberry(5) (just FYI, not sure if helpful)
Kernel version: 3.4.112-cyanogenmod-g8fbc62e
Unlocked, rooted with BaconRootToolkit/ TWRP ROM, downloaded latest ver -3.0.2-0 via official App, from Play Store
Kali images from: build.nethunter.com/nightly, as offensive-security's kali-nethunter wiki on github says (no external links for noobs, sorry )
apt-get updated, upgraded and dist-upgraded via KALI terminal
The first issue is with the OTG, not powering the USB WiFi adapter properly... with the regular USB-OTG adapter, lsusb WORKS, and returns proper info about 3 different adapters (Alfa Awus036h, TP-link WN725N and WN722N), BUT does not power them. No indicator lights get lit whatsoever 0mA status from lsusb -v
I bought a powered USB-OTG hub, that appears to not charge my phone, when plugged in two different chargers AND a powerbank. Still lsusb -v returns: 100mA current for the hub.
I tried plugging an A4Tech receiver for kbd+mouse, both work fine, with the tplink WN725N plugged in the second USB socket. lsusb shows the hub, the receiver and the WN725N data... Both regular and hub OTG's work fine with mouse+kbd, read and write data to USB Memsticks. Regular OTG transfers files to a computer and charges the phone.
I noticed that when in Android, the WiFi is turned off, ifconfig omits wlan0 and p2p0, that is the phone's main WiFi adapter.
So I thought that manually loading (insmod) the rtl drivers would start the OTG wlan.... Thus coming to the second issue:
The kernel is without LKM support - no modprobe, lsmod returns:
Code:
libkmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c: 1655 kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: no such file or directory
Error: could not get list of modules: No such file or directory
When "apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" is typed, returns:
Code:
E: Unable to locate package 'linux-headers-3.4.112-cyanogenmod-g8fbc62e'
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-3.4.112-cyanogenmod-g8fbc62e'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.4.112-cyanogenmod-g8fbc62e'
"apt-cache search linux-headers" returns some options for version linux-headers-4.9.0-kali1-all-armhf (the only armHF, others are armmp)
I cannot find a way to recompile my kernel and enable Loadable Kernel Modules support. Would you say this would be necessary for the external WiFi to work?
Do you know if there is any way out of this mess, as I am really tired fighting a "Our preferred device"-release issues??? Overall I'd love it if I could run external antenna
I am kind of new around.... In forums - in general, so I kindly ask for understanding. If any screenshots/pics/additional info is required - I'll make sure I update this thread. Not sure if I could've posted this thread in XDA assist, so I did it here.
EDIT: everything went fine when I tried third, different USB - WiFi adapter. Works properly. Still no LKMs.

Android drivers for windows

I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and I am trying to find drivers to access an rca rct6703w13
I have tried every driver I can find and nothing seems to work does anyone know something that will work?
I would be very grateful if anyone could help?
Thank You
Oh boy, I still remember this pain trying to find and use such drivers on Windoze:
- try another port
- try another cable
- try this driver or that one
- try doing a rain dance with 3 days old undies on your head, and turn only clock wise, unless it's full moon, then turn counter clockwise but stop briefly after ever two and a half turns
Maybe, as workaround, you could boot from a linux CD and try your approach from there.
Whenever I flash from my debian, it works: If "fastboot devices" still doesn't show anything then usually I have forgotten to plugin the cable
By using my "Yet Another Universal ADB Driver" Package (see the link in my signature) one can remove all the old adb drivers if that is the issue, but this case seems to be more interesting...
On win10 it seems that the adb is embedded to the winusb driver the same or similar way (registry wise) that my package is using. Now that I have tested, the behavior is similar with my devices. When using file transfer connection the adb is not recognized. With others, charging, photo, midi the abd works fine. To make adb work with file transfer one have to install the correct driver. In this case google's general driver could be okay, one match for vendor and product ids in it ...

What I tested using virtual win7 64bit, it seems to behave the same way... which is a bit weird as I've tested it with my driver package. Worked okay then I think. The Android device used has changed since though.. It worked on win10 back then too.. the change has to have happened later.. or I didn't use file transfer..
@steadfasterX 's maid or salt or whatever it's called nowadays might be usable in this case. It's a Linux having SP flash tool etc. available..
edit: tested and it turned out that the updated phone is the problem... using another phone my driver package worked as expected..

1. Don't confuse USB-driver and ADB-driver: the USB-driver since ever is by default part of any OS, so also of Windows OS. The ADB-driver is an extra protocol what allows you to communicate with a phone's Android ecosystem via an USB-connection.
2. Latest generic ADB-driver ( correct: ADB client ) got released August 2022 and is officially versioned 33.0.3.
3. AFAIK a 64-bit version of ADB-driver doesn't exist.
With regards to install this ADB-driver on a Windows 7,8.1,10,11 PC:
It's NO USB-driver installer - as introduced above by @CXZa - needed what unnecessarily bloats the Windows registry with crap.
You
1. simply create on any mounted drive of Windows PC a folder named "ADB",
2. extract there to the 3 files what are in the attached ZIP file,
3. add path of created folder "ADB" to Windows environment variable PATH, thus ADB-driver is systemwide accessible -
how to is described here
How to Set the Path and Environment Variables in Windows
Information on how to set the path and environment variables in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
