galaxySII-I9100 Usbhost mode with external wifi card & Backtrack5 (Chroot & usb help)

galaxySII-I9100 Usbhost mode with external wifi card & Backtrack5 (Chroot & usb help)
I finally got this working very well with backtrack5 lxde.
i'm trying to take advantage of usb host mode on my device. I want to hook up a alfa network card(AWUS036h) because the wireless card on my phone doesnt allow layer-2 transfers or packet injection. (useless)
i've made a cable that grounds pin 4 (making it a host cable) and powers the card with DC.
the phone recognizes the card as unknown (obviously because android os doesnt have the nessesary drivers)
when I use lsusb: (with host unplugged)
bus 001 device 001:ID 1d6b:0002
bus 001 device 002:ID 1519:0020
when I use lsusb: (with host plugged)
bus 001 device 001:ID 1d6b:0002
bus 001 device 002:ID 1519:0020
bus 002 device 001:ID 1d6b:0002
bus 002 device 002:ID 05e3:0608
So Definitely recognized.
my question is how can I bind the USB device in android to the backtrack chroot session.
once it's in backtrack i can install the driver.

any update .....
you got me in since the first post of this amazing idea, looking forward for the progress.

update
Hey yeah i got it bound properly! but i'm now working on cross compiling the driver for the ARM processor
new thread over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16333147
if you have any experience cross compiling, any help would be awesome, definitively never done this before

[Q][NS4G] Bricked? - Device Not Recognized in OS X, Windows or Ubuntu

Hey all, I had a botched ICS upgrade on my Nexus S 4G today using Google's factory images. I can get into TWRP and into the bootloader, but my device is not recognized by any operating system that I have tried to connect it to. Swapping USB cables hasn't made a difference. My other NS4G can connect with no problems to any of these operating systems with any USB cable. While the phone does charge over USB while connected to a computer, I can't mount the SD card in TWRP and I can't use fastboot in the bootloader. With fastboot, the only message I get is "waiting for device."
Should I just cut my losses and jettison the phone? Any suggestions on how to remedy the situation?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Pitiful bump.

Which factory image did you flash? What's the exact model of your phone? See the sticker beneath the battery.
Can you boot the mobile?
What was the problem through fastboot update?
Boot into bootloader/fastboot mode. What does it display?
Please provide a lot more details about the problem.

Thanks for the reply. Pretty sure I'm bricked unless I can get JTAG. I wasn't paying attention and it was super late at night when I was flashing for my wife (who was over custom roms). I mixed up bootloaders and sent the GSM version to my CDMA Nexus. I can't boot into Android. I can get into TWRP, but can't mount USB to get any files onto the device.

Connect the phone to a Linux PC, then please post in this thread the output of the following commands:
Code:
tail /var/log/messages
Code:
lsusb
By the way you can reflash baseband/radio firmware image from recovery through ADB.

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a shot in a few hours when I can get to a linux box. Part of the problem is that I get no recognition that the device is connected from any OS. I tried accessing the phone while it was in download mode through Heimdall running on Ubuntu and it couldn't see the phone.
I'll give the commands a try though and let you know. Should the phone be at the bootloader or in recovery?

You can try connecting the phone first in bootloader and then recovery. Run the above commands in both modes. Connect the phone directly, without hubs, preferably with its own cable.

usb connection non functional, after changing data partition

hi,
maybe some of you already know, that i am working on a dualboot solution for the note2.
it is almost functional now, but i have no idea anymore, where to search for a solution for the last bug, mentioned in the titel.
the commits in question are this, for cm-10.1:
https://github.com/DerTeufel/androi...mmit/5dc8b0e77cb21562aa41981fdea65fef6945270e
and this, for samsung based roms:
https://github.com/DerTeufel/androi...mmit/a57b6da843d0b6b47071e947008bb5665099163f
both commits are similar to the changes, gokhanmoral has made to his i9300 dualboot initramfs. i could not (edit: fixed typo here, this word was missing before) see anything related (if he had similar issues) in his commits/code
as you can see in the commis, i only have switched the data partition at this point.
basically it's like this:
mounted another partition at /data
created a new data folder at data/media (now mounted in /.secondrom)
bind mount /.secondrom/media/data into the deafult /data partition
create media folder in the new /data
bind mount /.secondrom/media into the new /data/media
everything is working as expected, just connecting to usb fails. phone is going into charging mode, without usb connection notification, usb debugging/adb is also not working.
do i just reboot into primary rom, usb is working again.
could oneone give me a hint, what could be causing this?
edit: the changes don't depend on the kernel used with the initramfs. if you want to try yourself, you should be fine by just applying the changes to your initramfs.
switching between roms is done by:
echo primary > /cache/.secondaryboot
and then reboot
echo secondary > /cache/.secondaryboot
reboot
it is going to be changed by recovery normally, but i need to do some more changes, before pushing it to github

AW: usb connection non functional, after changing data partition
Just a little update, without any change to the problem.
I thought, maybe mounting the sdcard by using fuse is causing the issue. Well, it is not. I have commented it out, exported storage/sdcard0 as storage, and bind mounted data/media into it.
USB still isn't working after this.
Any other ideas are highly welcome.
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7105 mit Tapatalk 2

after some more testing, i realized, that the device gets recognized by ubuntu, running in a vm. i now can adb to it
mounting the sdcards to it, does still not work

i am still stuck at the same thing...no one an idea?
today i have realized, that my vm is recgnizing my phone as different devices, if i am using another data partition...if this isnt weird enough, it also tells me, it is a galaxys 2 (i never owned a s2, and never installed drivers for it).
this is, when it is working normally (/data unchangend):

I am using Nexus tools in Arch Linux, i am getting same result with adb and fastboot utils from distribution packages. Thank you for advices.

Adb commands won't work with the phone in fastboot mode.
Have you tried flashing a stock kk, LP, or mm rom?
I don't know Linux so I can't comment on the logs.

@Samgarr
Some ROM's are not adb debuggable during boot.
You need to have three lines in ramdisk's default.prop for ROM to be able to be debugged in adb on userdebug type of builds.
If your phone is on and still adb is not working, then better flash a different ROM.
IF you're still in bootloop and are looking for a way to go out of it, since you're in fastboot,
Download nexus factory images and flash them in fastboot mode
Hope I helped

Thank you guys for your time, i think my phone have fried eMMC memory.
After i'm succesfull boot (fastboot boot recovery.img) recovery from stock ROM i tried wipe cache/data or flash stock recovery but i am constantly getting read/write errors from cache and recovery partition. Formating and recreating filesystem won't help. I bought this phone as a second hand and after removing backcover i see marks of water damage corrosions. So water damaged eMMC it is .

adb devices: device offline

Hi, I have recently flashed the Evolution X (Android 11) ROM to my previously bricked device. I'm trying to install some APKs but I get the device offline error:
Code:
~ $ adb install ~/usr/local/Downloads/sh.ppy.osulazer.apk
Performing Push Install
adb: error: failed to get feature set: device offline
This hasnt happened in LineageOS or Pixel Experience.
And if you ask, yes the laptop is detecting the device

I tried adding the /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file with the following contents:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0660", GROUP="adbusers"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8",ATTR{idProduct}=="6860",SYMLINK+="android_adb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8",ATTR{idProduct}=="6860",SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"
Then restarted my computer, reloaded udev rules but it still doesnt work. Yes, my user is part of the adbusers group. Also tried as root user but same thing. I'm on Arch Linux btw.
Is there any way to fix this or do I just go back to PixelExperience/LineageOS?

Well, you didn't mention it, it looks like all is fine with Linux, it could be an error on the ROM side anyway check that you killed ADB server previously, and you don't have many devices attached to the PC. You should try running a terminal from user space like Desktop or Downloads (moving the app there) and not from the root directory to see if something change.

I only have my phone plugged into my laptop, tried moving /usr/bin/adb to another folder as you said but same thing. And yeah it's most probably a ROM problem :/
