Hello all,
I am not sure if i connect a 500 gb usb external hard disk to my xoom through micro usb otg cable. Can anyone answer this? IF positive, I will buy a 500 gb instantly.
That depends.
I am running Tiamat manta ray 2.0.1 on UK MZ601 3g xoom and I can mount an external WD usb powered 500Gb drive over otg with no problems.For stock 3.01which I came from it didn't work.
I use usb otg watcher (available in market place) to mount and es filemanager to move, and copy and browse etc
Regards,

I have a new WD Passport Essential 750GB HDD that works fine with the Moto OTG adaptor and the USB Mass storage Watcher OTG app. My Xoom's configuration is in my sig.

You could try but that app I mentioned requires root and I'm not sure if stock 3.2 provides usb host mode support.
I'm still on Tiamat 1.0 and can read my WD 1TB HDD (NTFS) without issue.
I'm still in stock 3.0.1 uk and I can use my 500, 750 and 1T WD passports fine by mounting through terminal emulator.

helo all,
I am using xoom wifi stock 3.2 . I am not rooted. I have an USB otg cable but when I plug any USB mass storage eg 4/8 gb my xoom don't show any device. What should I do now?

I believe that you must be rooted to use the Xoom in USB host mode. I've been rooted from a couple of days after I bought my Xoom, so I don't remember.
You do have external sd card (read only) right?
Make sure that 'USB Debugging' is disabled.
i'm afraid you need custom rom for this.

Then as I thought, you need to be rooted and install a custom kernel or rom (Tachi kernel or Hammerhead rom for HC3.2) that says it enables usb OTG host mode in the releas notes. Then you can use your OTG cable (and the free app USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG) to mount and use thumb drives and newer HHDs (that don't require much power to run).

Thanks for the reply. Where can I get the steps for rooting? Is it possible to go back to custom rom after rooting?

Yes you can flash a custom rom.
For the correct rooting guide for your Xoom model (3G or WiFi-only, country of origin) check out the Xoom Heaven thread in General section 1st, to see if your Xoom model is addressed there.

My xoom cannot mount any flashdrive or external HDD, however the drive was visible in USB host controller ? device was detected but not really connected ..
btw I can use any USB hub, mouse and keyboard together, is this kernel or driver issue ?

I just plug usb end in to my pc running windows 7 and it auto detects, if that is what your asking! You might have to get the usb drivers from samsung site or google it.

When I plug my tab it, I get a "Connected as a Media Device" (or something along those lines) and my computer will automatically open/view the files on my tablet. If this doesn't happen, you can download Kies (software from Samsung to help install drivers and sync media) and that might help you.
Kies link: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
USB mass storage mode is being phased out, if your in windows this is not a problem as the default "media transfer protocol" will work just the same for transferring files (albeit only one transfer at a time)but if you really must have USB mass storage, google is your friend.
usb working in ics
If you are asking for USB storage in tab then you should download nexus media importer from web.....
Your USB drive also should be on Fat32 format. Or tab will not know that USB drive is connected....
I know MTP is working, but my question concern the UMS (USB mass storage) protocol. After searching long time on internet, apparently, UMS will never work on tab under stock rom. Thanks but no solution.
