[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!?

Has anyone tried an OTG cable?

Has anyone verified that an OTG cable works or not with Chainfire's stickmount on a rooted One X?
Has OTG been removed from the kernel or not?

Some users have commented it's disabled in kernel. I have not verified this but I have verified it works in fastboot. Issue is the port will not supply power, so pretty pointless imo.

Will kernel support allow the usb to provide power, or is getting sd card storage working fruitless?

I've read that it won't supply power, but not sure whether or not that's something we can control in software.

I tried a plain OTG and it didn't work.
I haven't tried it with a Y cable yet though. I'll see when I get home.

Shouldn't work as we don't have kernel support.

[FIX] Hot Spot Tethering 4GJelly Bean (NS4G)

Hows errbody doing with wifi tethering 4G on Jelly bean? I can tether via bluetooth but not as a hotspots using 4G. I tried the native hotspot, wifi tether app and foxfi. But no go. These all work on ICS tho. Anybody got it going on the NS4G? I'm using burnsra cm10 rom.

Maybe a fix will come in an update later. Not a huge biggie. I just would like to tether my kindle BC it has no BT.
If anyone has a fix for now feel free to chime in.

So the fix came with the update of Wifi Tether app today. I'm now tethering 4g on Jelly Bean!
There is a profile now for our Nexus S 4G. Also select "Netd-Ndc(master)" under setup method

I'm having the same problem on JB stock rooted [flashed, not OTA], as the folks for whom it does not work; I had the same issue on the early JB builds. I have tried all the settings above and then some.
On the early JB builds I got Barnacle to work, but it is not working after reflash to stock. WiFi Tether is not working in any mode. EasyTether works fine, as you'd expect. :/
NS is my daily driver so I can try out any suggestions. I am wondering if it's something to do with superuser, since Roam Control is failing to obtain credentials? Or that might just be a coincidence.
Thanks,
-Tim

Hmmm.
I guess you can try to update binaries in su app.

To start... I am by no means a developer. I usually wait for people to find the solution. I understand this is the NS forum so this might be totally irrelevant but the solution I found for wifi-tether after flashing Stock Jellybean OTA for NS4G was in the framework-res.apk file.
File /res/values/arrays.xml @ line 478 I replaced
Code:
<integer-array name="config_tether_upstream_types">
<item>1</item>
<item>6</item>
<item>7</item>
<item>4</item>
</integer-array>
With
Code:
<integer-array name="config_tether_upstream_types">
<item>0</item>
<item>1</item>
<item>6</item>
<item>7</item>
<item>4</item>
</integer-array>
The only thing that does not work right is that I have to turn wifi off first before enabling tethering. Since I am on boost I can not confirm if this works for 4g but 3g works for wifi and usb for the two phones I did it to. I tried just about every tethering app in the market and none of them worked. Hope this helps someone find a less crude fix

tether not working on cleanrom?

hey im on rogers and i flashed cleanrom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011
i love everything about this rom, except ever since i flashed to it, i haven't been able to get tethering working (usb or wifi). I've even tried using the "att hotspot hack" addon that comes with the rom but no luck. anyone else having this issue or no how to get tethering working??
for now i just restore a backup of my stock phone whenever i wanna use tethering but thats a hassle and theres gotta be a way to get it working with cleanrom..

USB otg.

Otg is the capability to run a mouse, USB and sometimes a hard drive via a micro OTG cable ... are there any roms that has that capability pre installed.??

Not currently. A few devs have mentioned adding it to their kernel but its still in the works.
