I believe its going to take a kernel developer merging that ability into a kernel if it's possible hardware wise. I'd ask the kernel developers if they personally use OTG or if they have any interest in developing that ability in the future. If you get a maybe then you'll know that its possible down the road, and if you get a hell no, then you'll know not to get your hopes up.
Be sure they know that you aren't telling them to do it or asking in a "whats taking so long" kind of way.
Faux incorporated that ability into the Nexus 7, I don't know that it's his commit though he might have just used another devs feature, but it was his thread where I read about it, that information might give ya something to start researching. I am going to be checking into this also, it was already on my list of crap to do, but there's so much crap everywhere and not nearly enough to doing on my part, so I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Out of curiosity, can you run dmesg -c to clear the buffer, plug the cable into a power source and then grab the dmesg output on the off chance it says something useful?

do we have usb host mode capabilities with the t-bolt? i would hate to buy another adapter like i did for my eris and then find out we have no host mode. i would like to be able to plug in a mini keyboard, a game controller, or even just a flash drive, but not without host mode. if we dont, any ideas on enabling it somehow in an ASOP rom maybe?
I have been asking the same question.. Our devs don't seem to like the idea very much.. I think it would be a major advancement..
You can plug a flash drive into the eris?

yea it would be awesome, and no you cant, it has no host mode the og droid does though, i think it has to be hardware enabled but you would assume there would be a way to emulate that with the phone

Yes and no.
The Android 3.1 platform (also backported to Android 2.3.4) introduces Android Open Accessory support, which allows external USB hardware (an Android USB accessory) to interact with an Android-powered device in a special "accessory" mode.

What exactly are you trying to do?
I have no access to a computer while I'm away from home. The idea like to have a safety net to recover my phone if something unfortunate happens.
I had a little scare with the new amon recovery and am looking for a way to recover if I screw up. I work on call so my phone working is a must.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
you could use an ssh client on your tablet and run an ssh server on your phone or vice versa. Essentially you can do everything you can do with adb from the command line shell. If you don't know how to do that, just reply and I can tell you. Better to reply here so others can see as well than a PM just in case you do.

I think what he's wanting to do is use fastboot commands as well as ADB commands. Not just the bash shell. Am I right?
It's also possible to compile adb (and any other part of the android toolkit, though some would be obviously useless) for ARM since it's opensourced.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5904765/build-android-adb-for-arm-processor
Have to cross compile and all that or google around and find a precompiled ARM binary.
Would I personally want to cross compile all of it? Not really, lol. Compiling just adb alone would be easier though.
Loonatic is correct, id like to have access to fastboot commands aswell as adb commands.
The SSH I don't think would be a problem setting up, but the SSH is only useful if the phone is operational.
Having access to fastboot commands via the tab is what id like so atleast if I borked something I've got a means to recover.
Out of curiousity what instances would SSH from one to the other be practical vs using the terminal? (Don't take that as being smart ass I'm really unsure)

I guess you would prefer having a larger keyboard of the tablet plus the terminal emulator is sort of crap. You can retrieve your last commands easily or copy and paste easily (assuming the client on your device functions better).
It's possible to compile fastboot like adb for ARM since it's in the toolkit as well, but I don't think I would personally want to spend somewhere between 2-5 hours or so figuring out why some random library is missing or some of the weird errors that pop up when you use the NDK or the Code Sourcery Toolchains (dealing with ffmpeg, bash, busybox and the android kernel was enough). I encourage you to try it though and if you encounter any errors I can try to help you figure them out, but I just don't have the time or motivation to do it myself since it's not that useful to me and I don't think too many others are looking for it either.
However even if it were compiled, I think the issue would be if you can actually do something liek connect via fastboot over a wireless tcp connection (since it works from such a low level) from one device to the other since I don't think a usb cable is going to work when the devices in question are a tablet and a phone. I know you can for adb, but fastboot, I don't know. That would be the question you would have to figure out first before even dealing with anything else.
I was hoping that since my iconia has a full USB port that I could somehow take advantage of already having those hardware drives in place. I see how this becomes a large predicament with other tabs that don't have. Full USB port.
I've read around and haven't really come across much useful information.
I think it would be useful to other users if there hardware met the requirements.

Hmm...you might be able to if it has a full usb port. Still need to compile it though
If there were enough interest, I would take a shot at it, but that's the first tablet I heard of having a full usb port.
Only tablet I have is the HP touchpad and it doesn't have a full size usb port, otherwise I wouldn't mind having adb and fastboot on it.
If you can come up with some other tablets that have a full port (at least a few), I'll try compiling it and see how much of a pain it is.
I think the iconia is the only tab with a full usb, don't quote me on that though tech changes too fast
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
May be a good reason to get an iconia
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
That is pretty nice that it has a full usb port, kind of surprised any do.
Perhaps ask how many are interested under the iconia forum? Might also find someone else that wants to try taking up cross compiling it as well that has it. If not and there's enough interest, I wouldn't rule out attempting it.
Will ask around over there.

Even if you have no coding experience at all, you can help. Testing is the easiest way to help. There are millions of lines of code and ways to set up these phones. Testing is the most important part of the development process. Without testers bugs will roam free. There are two separate major test categories, kernels and roms. Then minor testing such as mods/themes/etc. Kernels are the brains of the phone. Roms is the body. Both need to be tested and both need to be improved. When you test please do more than just quadrant. Make specific repeatable comments that will help some one fix the issue. Thanks and happy testing

Ok - I'd love to help, but I'm not sure what your kernel is or the gentop is? I've rooted my phone, messed with a few simple things here and there, but other than that - I'm still learning. I did install a custom ROM on my old Hero, but I haven't messed with the Photon.

I gotcha bubb. I'm in a 4G area if you you are still working on the bootloader
Hell I will even let you remote control my computer. Just don't go into the folder that says mmmm lol
No need. I actually know how to install a 64 bit operating system. Lol. Im slowly working on it. Its not a bootloader problem. Motorolas official engineering phones with real unlocked factory bootloaders dont have 4g. So obviously we gotta look elsewhere. Its possibly recovery related or some form of security check. Once we find exactly what it we can fix it. The best way is to dd everything. Like dd / lol. Once with stock, then after unlock only then recovey change. Once all three is pulled. Someone needs to run a diff, or physically cross check everything, eek. Once the culprit is found we will squash it. so obviously you can see this will be time consuming. Way more time then I ever get. I would have to take a vacation just to get that kind of time. I can do the squashing after the fact but atm im stuck trying to blindly fix it

Okay this is to everyone wanting to help. Find me cool patches. Remember your looking for arm no neon stuff the kernel is 2.6.32.9(kinda). I might update to .50 if I can ever find those patches. Most stuff I can manually patch and do, but 2.6.32.* patches are huge and I need .patch's to do that. If you find kernels from other phones with cool stuff please make sure they actually post source. A bfs 400+ patch for 2.6.32.9 would be awesome, so would proper autogroups. Post findings here.
