Hacking Someone managed to launch Fusee Gelee from an Android phone

[Soluble]

Well actually, I am now 100% sure that android can, so watch this space

Keep us posted. It's either Android or pi zero for on go, whichever comes first

Isn't every smartphone that accept otg cable!

Now, people will start asking:

• What is Root?
• How to Root my Phone?
• Can I Root My iPhone?
• among many others.

Update: Looks like this will be possible without root too!

Meaning no Busybox, or System access ;D

It still needs Xhci, failOverflow already said someone could make it to android, but the phone needs to have XHCI which are mostly only fairly recent and powerful devices...

Older ones like my android devices probably need the patch on the kernel to be able to use its usb 2.0... But I won't root my current phone or tablet as they have all I need already. Xperia Z2 already have DS4 support + official sony remote and my Nvidia Shield Tablet already has the controller mapping built-in + internal storage for M-SD...

Just saw this on my twitter feed. I guess this will require a USB C to micro USB cable, rather than the traditional cable you get.

More android phones are coming out with usb c. Mine has type c and I also have a usb c to usb c cable, and a usb c otg cable.

What about all the non USB C Androids out there?

If it supports Xhci: Micro usb to USB A Female and then USB A male to USB C male

Is there any way to know if you're phone has xhci ?

I googled my phone model but found nothing

 

[guily6669]

USB 3.0 I guess...

You might consider this app for checking if your phone supports otg

Thanks for that, was super helpful. It says mine is compatible, hopefully they can make it work without rooting it

I'm not buying another device to carry around just for this.

Looks like I'm putting Linux on my old Surface 1.

If you succeed let me know what you did, I wanted to put Linux on my old surface pro 2 but apparently you can't get wireless or the touch type keyboard to work.

I don't think that has anything to do with XHCI... I think Xhci is not present on USB2.0 but OTG can be supported regardless of being USB 2.0 or 3.0.

 

[Selim873]

Exactly what I needed! I planned to make a dongle with a Pi Zero, but if my phone can do it, then there's no point.

 

[Clydefrosch]

my phone supports otg, but I don't feel like getting my hopes up at this yet. certainly would be much more convenient than the pc linux thing though.
anyone wants to venture a guess if this will work with any and all micro usb to usb c converter cables? since not all usb c cables work for the pc solution either.

 

[roothorick]

I will at some point launch a Fusee payload... from another Switch. If nothing else just to prove it can be done. Anywhere you can get an XHCI controller, a Linux kernel, and root access, you can do it.

What app is needed to do this?
