I noticed there were a number of threads on this in other forums for other devices besides the charge. However it doesn't seem like the fix seems to work in my case. Anyone else having the same issue? Preferably I like to use dual-mount USB but no matter how I connect it comes up as a CDrom. Any help on this? I am on Windows 7. I imagine on other OSes like Linux it will work just fine. Just haven't unpacked my linux boxes yet (just moved)
Hope this is the right place for this.
I know there are tons of apps out there that does this but here is my situation.
I am in a public speaking class and it would be really nice and easy for me and other students if we could control our slides from our phones or tablets.
My question is what would be the best way to do this on a school computer. I can install apps no problem, but they get erased after the computer gets restarted due to a deep freeze program of some sort. So simply installing the server application before hand won't do.
Is there some sort of solution that has maybe a portable executable that one can run on their flash drive just for the time that they need to connect their device to the computer?
Both of the devices will be on the same network (one wired and one wireless).
Hello,
I have a pretty cheap but good android tablet made by craig, it is a Craig CMP 738a Android Tablet, and I was wondering with the specs that the tablet contains, that it might be able to run Windows XP.
I will do everything myself, like rebuilding the XP to run with drivers that might make the touchscreen and stuff work, but I've run into a major problem that I cannot seem to figure out.
I cannot figure out how to boot from say, a bootable flash drive on the tablet to where I can install Windows XP. I can't figure out how to load the files to install the OS. (The tablet does have a USB Port to use)
Can anyone possibly figure out how to boot from a flash drive instead of the default Android OS?
Thank you, and I would also love to try a Linux OS like Ubuntu on that tablet as well. Might be easier.
Android Tablet Specs
RAM: 256 MB
CPU: 700 MHz
HDD: 4GB Flash Memory w. External SD Card (8GB Memory)
Hardware: 7" (i think) 720x480 Resistive Touch Screen
Hard Home Button, Hard Option (menu) button, and Power Button, the back button is software.
Volume buttons and a power switch, Mini HDMI Port, USB Host, USB Port (for connecting to computer), SD Slot (up to 32GB memory).

I don't believe your tab has the power to run XP. You'd need at least a gig of ram. Also this project is futile. You'd need to compile a new boot loader and technically it would be illegal based on Microsoft software stuff. It's a nice idea but just buy a Windows tab. In the end it'll be cheaper lol.
Its damn near impossible considering we don't have the source code for XP. All programs that run on desktops and laptops are compiled to run on x86 processors, just about all mobile devices are using ARM processors so you would need to recompile the code for ARM.
All it was really was an idea to do in my free time, and no source code for XP would be a problem, though, I do have 98 laying around somewhere. What about linux? Would that be easier to do?
EDIT: I've solved the booting problem though. I just need to unlock the device's bootloader. I need to know how to enter bootloader mode on this device though, can I do it through ADB? It is a rooted device.
Hi,
I'm trying to learn about serial communication with devices from an Android tablet via USB host mode. I have a tablet, I have the devices, I have the apps... they just won't talk. It's most likely something to do with the firmware on my odd tablet, or maybe I'm just missing something stupid.
The tablet:
SUPERPAD FLYTOUCH
10.2" >24GB< ANDROID 4.0 TABLET A10 1.5Ghz CPU | 1GB RAM
"About this Tablet" says:
Model: BC1003
Android 4.04
Baseband ver 1.5rc4

There are 2 USB-A ports on this device. One has a physical switch that goes from device to host mode, comes with a male-male cable for attaching to a PC. The other port is host only. I can connect a USB thumb drive and it mounts just fine, shows up in the file manager, no problems. Same for a USB keyboard. It powers any USB device I've plugged into it.
The problem:
It works well enough for most things. But, I've now run into two applications that won't use the host USB port on the thing. Both seem to want to do basic serial communication. At this point, those 2 apps are about the only things I actually want to do with it, so I'm willing to experiment.
I have a USB oscilloscope that comes with an Android app. The app installs and runs fine, but it won't recognize the hardware usb device I've plugged in. Annoying, but I don't really need it. I've recently purchased some digital scales(DROs) for my lathe/mill. There's an Android app that interfaces these scales to an Arduino device via USB. Installs fine, won't connect to the Arduino. Okay, now this is starting to get annoying. Also, for what it's worth, the Android app for doing general Arduino stuff didn't work either.
So, the USB hardware works enough to connect a USB thumb drive or keyboard but the firmware won't use said hardware to do what I want.
The questions:
Am I doing something wrong? Is there an app I can install that enables serial communication over USB host mode? Am I missing something stupid?
Is there any other firmware I can run that will allow this communication? I think I've got the Windows utility that will allow me to flash the rom. I've watched the youtube vids on dis-assembly so I can pull the internal tf/sdcard and make a full dd backup. I'm assuming it contains the roms and everything else. Actually, I'm thinking about just pulling said card and replacing it with a smaller one for experimenting. Will I still be able to flash it using the windows LiveSuite utility even with a blank card inserted?
At this point, I'm willing to play. I mean, it's still useful enough to be careful, but I'm willing to take some chances and put a little work into it. If I can get it running with the DRO software while talking over USB to the Arduino, I'd sacrifice everything else. GPS, battery life, wifi, screen rotation, sound, whatever. I'd just bolt the thing next to the mill and that's that. Failing that, I'll put it back to stock and stick it on the fridge for my wife to look up recipes, Yeah, poor tablet... motor oil and metal swarf or cooking oil and flour. No happy retirement for this tablet, sitting in a drawer gathering dust.
Any hints, links, recommendations, or directions appreciated.

Hello, I flash a lot of phone's and i wanted to know if there was a faster way to flash instead of keep opening up Odin from computer and sitting there loading the files in. I know before people have gotten heimandle to work on raspberry pi but I believe its very old.
It would be amazing if there was a way to have roms preloaded onto the raspberry pi and just be able to plug in a samsung phone in download mode and it just starts to flash or some kind of usb device to do this.
If no one knows of any solution can someone explain how samsung loke works the part of the phone that odin communicates with as if i know this information i can make something that could work.
