Can anyone tell me if rooting will make this possible?
I want to be able to plug my DSLR camera directly into the USB on my Xoom and download the pictures. Is this possible if I root and use the new Tiamat Kernel?
Thanks,
I don't think tethering a camera has been possible on any android device yet.
You cant control a DSLR but it might mount as an external drive. Havent tried it myself yet, need to order to right cable or adapter.
I have the adapter on the way. And yes, I didnt want to control it, only mount the CF card in the camera so I can access the pictures.
Yeah the only way I've found to accomplish what you are trying to do was to use an external USB card reader, which (assuming you have rooted and performed the USB host hack) you can plug into the xoom (via adapter) and read the CF off of the card reader. In order for the camera to connect directly to the Xoom, I believe the Xoom would have to have drivers for the camera itself (though I could be wrong, but either way that method doesn't work as of now).
without the drivers installed on my pc my camera acts like a usb card reader
Can someone walk me through how to mount mass storage? I am trying to hook up my camera so see the photos on the SD cardof the camera. I am rooted using the tiamat 1.4.0 kernel. I have hooked it up with my cable adapter and checked usbOTG, external, and sdcard2 but none of the files show up there. I rebooted and still nothing. Do I need to run a script fro it to show up?
Very cool... I'd love to see a pimped out photoshop for honeycomb

Can someone help explain to me how to mount a USB mass storage device like a thumb drive or USB card rerader?

Motorola has a USB camera accessory (and pending software update) to enable PTP which will likely do watch you need. Coming very soon. No rooting required.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054636
I have read the mounting USB storage thread and followed the directions exactly but I am having issues. I posted in that thread this same question but it doesnt seem to be getting any attention so I figured i would try the same question here as its all related. I am trying to access the CF card in mt camera but i cant get the script to work.
gscript continues to give a permission denied error everytime I run either script even though I have chmod'd all files and folders.
mount -o remount,rw /
mkdir /mnt/ntfsdisk
ln -s /mnt/ntfsdisk /ntfsdisk
ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/ntfsdisk
scriptor says:
couldn't set local enviornment, using default {null}
failed to access /dev/block/sda1 please check dev/block/sda1 and the ntfs-3g binary permissions and the mounting user ID
do i need to do anything from the roebeet page if i am already running tiamat 1.4.0? All i did was follow the instructions from the first post of this thread.
I was able to plug in a 2gb thumb drive and see it under the OTG folder. Still no luck mounting a NTFS drive though.
I HAVE A WIFI XOOM
thanks,
Bump for help

its 100% possible on 3.1.

A developer from Android Tablets forums is working on a .RAW viewer and has a beta of sorts up.
Hey Guys,
is there a ICS ROM for my 601 wich suport PTP/MTP?
Thanks for the Help

Buy an Eye-Fi card for your camera and download the eye-fi app for your xoom. once the two are paired, every new photo you take with your camera will appear on your xoom over wifi. No cables needed.

You can find a great app in the market called "DSLR Controller". Currently only works with Cannon DSLR and requires root, but allows full control and live preview of your camera right on your xoom. It's Awesome !

I bought one of these for my OG SGS2, and it worked flawlessly... just plugged in and phone recognized my USB flash drive... showed up under /sdcard/usbstorage, and could easily transfer files back and forth.

I returned the OG SGS2 for the i727-SR a few days ago. However, for some reason the i727-SR does not recognize my USB flash drive like the OG did. Is there some other setting I'm missing? Anyone tried a USB Female to USB Micro Adapter on the SR to read a flash drive? Thx
you need a kernel for "USB on the GO"

So the OG GS2 stock kernel has this... but the i727-SR stock kernel does not?
Works fine on mine. Has to be an otg cable and not a gender changer.
Here's the thing... I have 2 of those cables.. both work fine with the i777 OG-GS2 (once connected, the "USB Device Connected" icon in pull-down appears and stays so you can disconnect later). However, on the i727-SR, when I connect the Sandisk flash drive (8Gb), it says "USB Device Connected"... "Media Scanning Completed", but the USB icon does not appear in pull down. When I open files with Root Explorer, I can see /sdcard/usbstorage/SDA folder, but no files in the folder. On the flash drive I have 162mb used and 7.31 GB free; but when in the SR /sdcard/usbstorage/SDA folder it reads "0k used, 392.22mb Free". Can it be a hardware on the SR or something inherently different in the SR kernel vs the OG-Gs2 kernel?

Interesting... you can read a USB flash drive on your Skyrocket? Are you running stock ROM/Kernel? I just got off the phone with Samsung Support and they shared that the i727 Skyrocket does not support OTG USB Host enablement (i.e., won't read a USB Flash Drive).

Do you have a Skyrocket? Cause your tag says you have an SGS2.
updated. Yes, was using Melvin stock, which is stock kernel, restoring stock nandroid and will check again...
---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------
just tried on rooted stock, works fine.
still confused whether or not the skyrocket supports USB OTG. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
I just received my micro usb host mode cable and it works great. I can transfer files between my phone and my usb flash drive.
Now I'd like to create a link on the main screen of the phone that points to the folder of the usb flash drive. "mnt/scdard/usbstorage/sda"
How can I do that?
thanks.
What kernel are you running? I know the stock 2.3.6 kernel does not have OTG USB HOST enabled.

Interesting to hear you say that. I have a stock Skyrocket running 2.3.6 and I can access a thumb drive or a CF card in a USB card reader with a simple adapter cable.

wow... interesting you have OTG enabled on the stock SR 2.3.6 boot.img (kernel). From what I understood from the developers who have "OTG host enabled" on their respective custom kernel, you need to recompile the kernel to enable OTG support. Did you have a custom ROM/Kernel previously flashed on your phone? I've tried multiple USB flash drives... and multiple OTG cables... and can't get them recognized by my SR-I727... however, same USB flash drive and cables recognize my GS2-I777 and I can transfer files on that phone. I took the AT&T 2.3.6 OTA update, and as stated, it doesn't seem to have OTG enabled.
OP: To answer your OP question on how to add a shortcut on your homescreen to a specific folder... download "ES FILE EXPLORER" free in Market... navigate to the folder you want a shortcut to... then long press that folder and select "shortcut". This will place a folder shortcut on your homescreen. Hope that helps.
Hi all,
the Acer 510 contains the Stockrom, which is rooted and CWM is installed. If I connect the the Tablet via USB with W7, I can see the internal and external SD-Card. If I connect the same tablet under Linux (Suse 11.4), the tablet / filesystem is unknow and could not be mounted
Normaly I see every Android Device under Linux and can mount this one without any problems , so that I 've an access to the SD-Cards.
Does someone has seen the same issue and hopefully has a solution for this one?
Since ICS the protocol used is MTP and linux is not familiar whith it
take a look at this article, it will help you even if it's written fo ubuntu

Tablet doesn't use Mass Storage mode but MTP which you have to setup on your Linux machine.
Ubuntu tutorial (required packages should also work on other distros)
Alternative (I've never heard about this before TBH)
THX !
I'll try it on evening and let you know
Before you proceed in futher steps, did you try connecting the tablet to the Linux machine with USB debugging off? (Win XP for example, cannot use the A510 as MTP if usb debugging is on.)
Even if you get it to work, don't expect somethign good. The Support for MTP is really bad in most Linux distros. probably because MTP is a Microsoft thing. I got it to work once and all i could do was copy small files in already existing folders. Creating folders or copying large files always resulted in a force unmount.
I agree with you that why I only use FTPserver instead now
Simplest alternative to MTP- QtADB, I know it wasn't updated for over a year but worked for me (various 2.1-4.0 firmwares and hardware)

wifi file transfer from the play store is another option.
So i got a bunch of on the go cables. And wanted to see what the stylus could do.
So far ive hooked a 160 gb otg hard drive. Works decently.
2. Ps3 control for gaming.
3 flash drives. Of coarse this works.
4. Usb ob2 interface for scanning automobile ecus. Works better than g4 if i might add.
5. A old logitech wingman joystick. Works on some flight simulators.
I also ordered a while back a fastboot cable for my kindle. When i plug in on ms631 from power off no commands needed boots straight to fastboot mode
Im gonna make a pair of vr goggles prob this weekend and see if this screens good enough for vr. Did it on my g3 and g4. And it was killer
How did you get you're OTG to function? I plug in a 8gb flash drive to mines and it doesn't work for me I'm using the T-Mobile version MM.
Nothing its reading natively. Try stick mount.
Ive been reading about loads of people haveing problems with it im looking for a fix.
But the phone most def supports otg verriefied from more than one site

Has anyone figured out how to get OTG to work on the T-mobile LG G Stylo with Marshmallow? Mine has the latest stock 20c software (H63120c). I use OTG with my FLIR One Android, my SDRPlay, and my RTL-SDR stick, and it would be sad if I have to still use my old Xperia Z for all that.

This page seems to say that adding the file android.hardware.usb.host.xml to /system/etc/permissions will enable USB host mode. Has anyone tried adding this file to a T-Mobile or Metro PCS Marshmallow phone? I haven't rooted my T-mobile Marshmallow phone yet, but I will if I root access will allow me to enable OTG.

I haven't rooted mine yet, but I might now that it might be possible to enable OTG.
I gave up, and got a used "mint" LG V20 for cheap, which has OTG support built in. My LG G Stylo will be used by someone who has no idea what OTG is.
Besides "usb.host" to your permissions xml's, setprop "sys.usb.configfs=1" & "sys.usb.config=*" in dev options must be set right. Init.qcom.usb.rc told me what I needed to get mtp & adb working together.

just installed Cyanogenmod 12 on my Galaxy Nexus GSM. I have given my Filemanager Superuser Access. I can now connect a USB Drive using a USB OTG Cable, and I can see it mounted under /mnt/media_rw/usbdisk.
Is there anyway I can unmount this USB Drive after I have finished working with it? (Obviously other than shutting down the phone?)
Thank you,

If the device requires unmounting it, there will a setting to unmount it in system settings>storage somewhere. If it doesn't have that then it might have a notification in status bar that you pull down that has USB options. If you don't see one of these options then just disconnect it.

Lollipop should have the pull down USB options or Mass Storage options.
You can also power the device off then disconnect.
You can also install the StickMount app by Chainfire, it has a mount/unmount feature.
Or you can get technical and use Terminal Emulator commands.

Shutting down the device is what I do. StickMount (free version) does not seem to work (I allowed it to install the downloads that it wanted) and I restarted my phone. I do not get my drive in the mounted devices, and when I click UnMount, I get "The mount service is busy - try again in a few seconds"
I'm not sure if I can get the Terminal Emulator to work.

When you use Stickmount, have you given it superuser permission and are you using it to mount the OTG? It probably has to be the one to control mount and unmount, you can't let android system mount then unmount with StickMount. This is probably why you are getting the "service is busy" message.

I have used Stickmount before, so I understand how it works. I also understand that I need to let it control the mount and unmount, which right now is controlled by the OS. However, this question is about the OS, not about StickMount. If there is no way on the OS level, which does the mount automatically, I think I would have to settle with powering down my device.
