I have a Kindle Fire HD that was just delivered today. I'd like to be able to upload files from a usb sd card reader/usb storage device like pictures from my camera without using a desktop or laptop. I realize this is not natively possible with the Kindle Fire HD because usb host mode is not available, but I was wondering now that people have figured out how to root the device, if that changes things and whether that will allow me to install or modify software on it to allow the use a usb storage device on this? Thanks.

Hey Folks, I am a noob and stuck. I just got wifey the Dell Streak 7 on black friday special and being that its running Honeycomb, there is no USB driver. I called "Dell" which was a joke and after talking to several people I was told that the drivers wont be out there for several weeks.. (WTF).. I have gone through most of the forums for info but stuck.
I have a laptop running Vista, and my work computer that is running XP and need direction as too what I need to download to get the show on the road. I just want a way for me to access the tablet or SDcard through the USB cord.
I keep seeing references to ADB, and laslow site but those posts are referencing to those running Windows 7, or am I wrong. Any and all help for this lost noob would be gr8.

Ok if you bought it new with Honeycomb on it then you bought the wifi version I assume. Anyway, all Honeycomb devices switched protocols, they are no longer USB Mass Storage devices, they are recognized and media players, so you should see a Portable Media Devide under My Computer if you have the latest version of Windows Media Player on your laptop...
OK, THAT being said, in my personal opinion it's the worst decision Google could've ever made. SO what I do is install a little app called Samba File Sharing, which allows you to connect to the 7 as a network device and have access to it's SD contents just like any other device connect to your computer.
Hope this helps. You have to set up a few parameters like network name and workgroup and such but it only takes about 1 minute and well worth the trouble

Thank you for that tip.
Some devices require MTP, the s7 in this case isnt one of them. The s10 is though.
It's up to the rom maker to decide which one to use to use either MTP or USBMSD, depending on how the internal memory is organized.
Regardless MTP allows you to simultaniously access the device on a pc while using it on the device itself. With USBMSD you can only use it on one or the other.
The S10 has /sdcard as a symlink to /data/media, so you simply cant mount it or you'd unmount the entire /data partition (which would be very bad). The galaxy nexus is the same way, hence it requiring MTP mode.
The S7 has /sdcard as a seperate partition, I'm guessing mainly for the ability to simultaniously access it.
Fastboot+ADB.zip has every driver for every dell device.
Hi newb here ... did search but could not find the answer. Please forgive me if I missed the obvious.
I have an HD+ running cm10.1 emmc by verygreen (THANKS!). I am trying to read from an SD card via usb host. I have confirmed that usb host function is working by plugging in usb thumb drives. But when I plug in a card reader with the card inserted -- no matter a single slot reader or a multi-format reader -- it is not mounted.
What is more, I installed "USB Host Viewer", and it is able to see the readers. It is showing a device .../usb/001/0xx where xx is an increasing number if I keep it running while unplugging/replugging the card reader. But if I try to mount .../usb/001/0xx or ../usb/001 or .../usb mount would not be able to find the device. Also I tried several usb host controller/mount apps (e.g. stickmount and many others) none would be able to do the job.
Since the viewer can see the reader, I suppose what is missing is the actual device path that I should give to mount. But how do I find it out?
Advice is greatly appreciated. This is the only thing that is missing in my usage model -- I want to be able to read camera cards into the HD+.
Thanks,
Sean
No takers? It is hard to believe no one wanted/needed this... IMHO this is a very relevant use of a portable device with great screen.
Are you using a USB hub? It may fix your problem. It will mask the card reader's energy requirements and the Nook might then recognize it correctly.

I don't think it is a power issue. Apparently the nook sees the reader (see my original post), but from what I read it only auto mount the "first" volume.
Can anyone tell me if my HTC One (FW 4.3, rooted and fully chraged) can be used with more than one mounted device at a time ?
My aim is to mount a CF card reader and a portable HDD, so I can transfer photos (RAWs) from the reader directly to the HDD.
I've bought a powered USB 3 hub and downloaded the "Nexus Media Importer" app.
But, I'm unable to make 2 devices show at once. Even if I try 2 USB sticks.
All the devices will show up individually, but not when more than one device is connected.
I've connected the USB hub to my PC and it works perfectly.
I'm not sure if the problem is the app or if the phone can't handle mounting 2 or more devices.
Thank you for any help.
Anyone ?
I'm trying to transfer pictures from my iPhone to nook hd running cm 10.2. I connected the phone using a usb gender changer and USBHost Switch with TPUSBMount to fix power issues. after connecting I tapped trust computer on the iPhone but can't find where to access the iPhone system on the nook in file manager. Also Bluetooth won't connect. Anyone have experiance with this?
Has anyone managed to accomplish bluetooth or usb tethering on nook hd tablet? I have wifi connection on my tablet and I want to use that internet connection to pc via nook. My pc has no wireless card. I have bluetooth card in my pc. So anyone who have any idea about some apps, xposed module, modifying the kernel, flashing some zips that enables bluetooth or usb tethering please let me know. Don.'t ask me to buy wireless card for pc. Thanks.

For < $10 you can get usb wifi directly from your pc. Makes more sense imo -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref...words=usb+wifi+adapter&ie=UTF8&qid=1418427139
I tested easytether app and it will not see my nook hd+ with cm11 m12 whereas adb does see the device and works too. With my phone, easytether found that right away. So I would think something is disabled in the kernel, but could be wrong despite the fact that tethering is obviously missing from android settings and that means something.
Finally I've managed usb tethering via nook hd
I used PDAnet+ app on both pc and nook hd. It installed ADB drivers and with simple setup I was able to share internet connection.
