Hey everyone,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am trying to figure out if this will be possible. I have my 5X 16GB arriving tomorrow; I ordered the 16GB since I don't use much space at all on my current phone. If I was to take a trip or something else where I could possibly take a lot of pictures, could I possibly attach a flash drive to the 5X and transfer the images off?
someone said that OTG has support, so my guess is yes.
Yes, but be careful re: the cable you use. Check this thread.

Is it possible to upgrade a Jasjar's Rom from the SD Card??? as I broke the USB Port so I can no longer upgrade the normal way, the phone was replaced under warranty but I still have the original phone that I would like to use for trying new roms. Any way of upgrading with out using usb port???
Please anyone
Hi all,
Some one must know the answer to this, I really want to use my Jasjar and as I said the usb connector is broken. So is it possible to upgrade by SD card or any other way.
No. Thats the simple answer. I think PPC techs offer a repair for $60 thought, which seems reasonable. Its on the forum somewhere.

I'm still gonna start with the obvious response. Use the search. Its designed to help you! And if you're gonna tell me searching for something as simple as flashing via SD card is hard.....then DAMN! Try this thread:

Thanks for the quick reply I forgot about all the love thrown around this place a Little more friendly over at modmyi but hey thanks for all your trouble
If you flash a new Rom don't you still have to charge it?
Well I had 2 8525's one to keep stable and one to test out all the new Roms on but one got broke in half screen got broke off and then a few days later the other ones connector went to **** so I used the half phone to charge up batteries LOL currently rocking the ever so hated iPhone but love the things that are going on over here now I'll definately get flamed thanks for all the help guys if it's anything at all the iPhone is hacked all to **** or as much as I could still waiting to get touch pro but kind of low on funds right now thanks again
If you have the 2, why don't you make 1 working phone out of the 2 "broken" phones?
Wouldn't that be easier than stuffing around with the batteries, all you'd need to do would be to exchange the mainboard from the one where the LCD has been broken off to the case where you have bad battery connectors.....
Cheers...
I think I actually tried that it's been quite a while do you know if I have to take the screen off to get to the motherboard
4 screws under the battery cover. then 1 screw on mb. Use the HTC service manual to take apart successfully. You shouldn't need to go further than taking off the back. There is a ribbon cable that needs to be taken off the mb, its sealed in under tape. Easy enough to get off.
Cheers...
thanks for the info I will do as soon as I get a chance thanks for all the help
I would like to transfer photos from camera to phone...It would be awesome if I could do this while on vacation.
Where would you even find the correct usb cable if the phone could read it. Also i dont know about your camera but mine uses a sdmicro card just like the phone does. So i could just pop the card out of the camera put it in the phone, copy the files to emmc and then pop out the cameras sd and replace the phones sd. If your camera uses a regular sd card you could buy a microsd and an adapter to use in your camera.
So as an answer to my question, that is a... NO, USB host has not been developed for the Inc.
Thanks for the suggestions, but they aren't what I am looking for, not enough speed (sd card adapter) and emmc isn't big enough to help much, anyway. The reason is I don't want to waste money on more high-speed cards, or a computer. I just need decently large space to store, when I get back to the hotel and the end of the day.

Yeah without buying new cards or a pc your outta luck. Unless you have one of those expensive cameras that uses wifi to upload to photobucket or flicker etc.

It's doable yes, but I'm not sure how to test it without the hardware/cabling and software would have to be written for it as I don't think it's built into the API. Honeycomb does support it.
For gingerbread, you need a usb host driver at least and not sure after that.
Long answer, it can be done but so far no one has done it. Short answer, not likely unless someone can do the necessary coding.
EDIT: And, does there even exist a usb cable between phone and camera? Maybe but that's not really my expertise.
I could certainly do the cable myself (might not be pretty), but the driver/coding is what I hoped somebody else had done
does anyone know where the internal storage is located and if I would be able to change it?
due to news of all u.s. carriers being limited to 16gb internal storage note 2's I was wondering if this would be a simple mod (don't worry, I know how to solder). the reason I assume solder is because I looked at the pictures Darkendvoid88 posted at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959005
and did not see an internal micro sd card slot and figured it would be an onboard chip somewhere.
if anyone could take a look at the pictures and let me know what type of chip is used i'll most likely start doing some research and probably order a 64gb version. I have the best buy black tie protection program so no worries about damaging my phone.
thanks in advance for any help I can get considering i'm looked at as a noob.
So nobody has any info on this? I would really like to try this?
Edit - My bad, I was directing you back to the thread you linked.

I got the 16 gb version because I thought I would be fine with the limited space. I have been able to live with it up until now. I just tried to make a nandroid and I was unable to because I didn't have enough space. Is there anyway to get around the space issue without getting rid of apps? Can I make the backup straight to my pc?
Just use the nexus root Toolkit (wug's one) it has such option.

I use a USB otg adapted and a usb flash disk for nandroid backups.
That way I can also back up / screw up my 'internal' SD-card without much problems.
No risk of losing the nandroid back up that way. I paid 30 euro's for the adapter and a 64gb stick.
I really like the wug kit but it Sadly doesn't work for the latest version. Is there another one like it that works for the latest version?
I would prefer not to have to buy a USB otg because I wouldn't really use it all that often

the version of what does not work?
The wug kit doesn't work with the January security update. It won't let me backup with it
i just purchased a USB C (male) to USB A (female) adaptor, as well as a 64GB sandisk "utra fit" low profile flash drive specifically for backing up my nandroid backups. with the two pieces together it will be shorter than a typical flash drive - shouldn't be a bad setup. $24 shipped on Amazon prime
I have an OTG cable (picture attached) I got off amazon for $6 and a SanDisk flash drive I got at Walmart or Costco (can't remember which) for $15. Probably the best way of storing backups I've found.
P.S. When making backups, make sure you turn off your PIN/Password/Fingerprint/etc. If you don't, upon restoring your NANDROID it'll constantly ask for your PIN/password but wont unlock.
Thanks for all the replies, I'll go with your suggestions and get a otg cable. It'll be nice to finally have backups again
Just thought that I'd share what I've been using.
Victsing USB Type C to A adaptor ($5.99 on Amazon)
Sandisk Ultra Fit 64GB ($17.59 on Amazon)
Attached are some pics for size comparison to a typically sized flash drive not including a typical adapter.
