My Huawei u8160(Vodafone 858) supports usb-host although not working? I have a Huawei u8160 running Psyke83's Cyanogenmod 7.2 14/8/2012 which had a package with it to apply usb-host mode kernel called usbhost1-cm-7-20120814-MADTEAM-u8160.zip.

So I flashed the zip using clockwork mod recovery (from Rom Manager) and was successful although when I started my phone and connected an USB mouse it didn't light(the mouse) and it wasn't working.

I want to ask here,what's wrong?



EDIT #1:

I downloaded the app USB host controller and when I opened it it told me that "S3C USB Host driver NOT found!"



EDIT #2:

I've found this blog (it's in Hungarian so I translated it using Google) talking about exactly my state and it says that I need a Y-Cable to feed the usb peripheral with power, so I'm going to try that and then I'll report here.



USB Y-Cable :
I've found it,

I needed a Y-Cable and I needed to activate the usb host mode by using this command in the terminal emulator :

su
insmod /system/lib/modules/ehci-hcd.ko


that activates the usb host mode.

and the phone doesn't mount the flash drives so I have to mount it manually :

cd /dev/block
ls


the terminal emulator should turn out something like uba,uba1 then create a folder in your sdcard called data (or whatever you like) and then type the one ending with 1 (i.e uba1) like this :

mount /dev/block/ub*1 /mnt/sdcard/data


(*) stands for the changed letter because it always starts with ub and ends in 1 but the third character changes between a,b,c,....

then open any file explorer and do whatever you want with data folder in your sdcard and then just unplug it, no need to unmount safely.
