[Q] USB harddrive connect to car - broken after OTA 2.3.4

Folks,
with custom ROMs based on 2.3.4 I experienced that I can no longer connect my Sensation via USB harddrive mode to my car's USB.
It worked with stock ROM 2.3.3, even though I had to deactivate USB debugging and turn it on again...
Yesterday I had the time to cross check:
- restored my stock ROM 2.3.3 NAND et voila: USB connection to car is working
- installed 2.3.4 OTA (Vodafone DE): USB connection to car not working...
Connection via USB to PC is working without any problems...
Anyone else experiencing probs here?
(my car is a BMW with the latest navigation system btw)
++ EDIT ++
Problem solved with Pyramid3D 7.2.0 ROM based on 2.3.5

Yep!
With 2.3.3 I had either to disable it when it was enabled or vice-versa to get it running... but it ran!

You mean if I did select disk mode when pluggin the cable in...?
Dude, sure I did!!

there was a issue with with non stock kernal, maybe u need to update to latest, alternativly there was a app listed in mikes rom, to over come the problem

I am on pure stock...
Using a non-stock kernel... Maybe an option... But browsing through the threads I didn't find anything related to this issue - remember, harddisk mode with PC is working.

So you tried all the modes. Weird...
Did you have to do any configuring on your HU to get it to recognize the phone the first time?
Maybe clear those configurations on the HU and start over?

Yep, tried everything possible...
No config needed on car, plug-in and off it went with 2.3.3 - just toggle USB debugging on or off in phone...

Yes... and still driving me crazy!
Will give P3D ROM based on 2.3.5 a try...
++ EDIT ++
Pyramid3D ROM 7.2.0 installed
>> ABLE to connect with my car in disk mode again!!
This time even without switching debugging on or off
Hope it stays this way!!

Dies anyone know which system apk the USB disk Feature is in?
Would try to compare 2.3.4 with 2.3.5...
But maybe it's a kernel issue as well!?

Surprisingly my iMac needs SOMETHING. Normally what you say is absolutely true, but...
My Captivate and Skyrocket both have USB ADB connection issues on the Mac. I have a Droid2 and it works fine, but connecting the Captivate gives me a LOGCAT of about 1 page, then it disconnects. The Skyrocket NEVER connects.
Tried it on another identical iMac and SAME RESULTS so it's a hardware / Apple configuration issue. Go figure!
I'm searching the forums for some additional information but so far no luck!

MTP transfer does in fact work. It simply depends on your computer's OS. MTP on win 7 works great. On Mac, you need some extra software from Google (android.com/filetransfer), and on Linux it may or may not work.

I have a similar problem, but not as bad, my laptop at home running win7 starter recognizes my phone but my pc at work running win7 ultimate will not...

Maybe try nexus drivers.

If that doesn't fix it, there are some more options available in the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread.

8013 PROBLEM with OTG usb on Jelly Bean

Many of us with JB and 8013's are not able to us OTG devices on our Notes. I tested it yesterday with three different ROMS and none of them supported it. While on 4.0.4(ICS) everything was fine, not one issue. Are there any Devs that could help with this as I am not knowledgeable enough to do it. Thanks a lot!

Yes please, if one understand the working of the otg usb please help us.

Tried These-

Also Tried ROMN8000 DR AKRIM ROM N8000XXBLJ9 v06 27112012 Jelly Bean NO GO HERE EITHER
I also tried a stock JB update from Germany, NO GO EITHER.
so for me anything JB related stops OTG from working.

Well, I know you guys want OTG. I was just asking in general. I just wanted a stock JB Rom that is compatible with 8013. I won't be using OTG. Hmmmm stock JB update from Germany....i should try that.

i have an otg cable on the way, so I'll experiment when it arrives.

What are the advantages of using a OTG instead of the micro USB? So you can attach like flash thumb drives?

Otg gives you a supported usb drive.
So you can attach usb keyboard, usb mouse and a flash drive.

or a game pad.

or a umts modem... which is the problem:
I did look at the dmesg output, when I was under ICS mostly because of the current consumption, but also looking for the IR port.
I see now a big difference there, using the German JB 8000 Rom with the 8010 files.
Somewhat (perhaps a Init script) does load the OTG usb kernel modules, then load a usb modem (mif related to umts) and after a while there is a termination of a certain unknown pid, probably because of the modem not responding, which is then unloaded and also does switch off that OTG usb port and unload it's k. modules. Seconds later the whole thing is repeated again and again...
Surely also a reason why it's consuming more power, and probably the reason why other OTG devices have troubles.
I would like to help, but I don't know how android works on that (kernel) level, I had some knowledge about usb on linux 5 years ago, so I don't know how it has evolved.
If someone of you, Dear Rom Backers, could lead me to some (hardcore) knowledge about the whole startup(/wake) process.
I could investigate a bit more.
Other problem I did encounter with JB, somewhere a memory leak, my RAM slowly does fill up in a way, where I can't reset it, without rebooting.

OK I have my otg cable now, and can see the problem, but not the cause.
When I get near to something that can adb in I'll have a look, if anyones' got any pastebins of dmesg and logcat in the meantime please let me know.

this is using the 8000 rom on 8013 and 8010 devices, no idea if the issue is on 8000 devices, or whether it will be there on the 8010/13 firmware.

maybe it's conflict because people are flashing firmware that is not supported on their tablet, i sure hope that is the case.

Absolutely. I have an N8000 using the correct official N8000 JB firmware for the device and USB works perfectly. That's why there are different firmware versions for different devices - simple.
I have a small unpowered USB hub attached to a cheap generic USB OTG connector. I am typing this using a USB wireless keyboard and mouse and I have a Note 10.1 with 160GB of storage. 32Gb internal - 64gb using internal micro-SDXC card and 64gb with a second micro-SDXC in a micro reader attached to the hub (seen as a usb drive 1 so presumably can add more). That's 160gb seamlessly available in all programs for Video, Music, documents and whatever. Eat you heart out fruit-boys!!

Thanks to alirey for uploading the original OTA update zip
Thanks to graffixnyc for uploading zip with system.img and boot.img
Thanks to dsixda kitchen for insecure boot added to kernel.
May also work on 8013 as well.

Is it fixed in 8010 wifi release.
