I've a Xoom MZ604 US WIFI ONLY , with rooted android 3.2 and tiamat kernel 2.0 . I tried to use an external USB drive ( various pen and HD ) but without success.
I try with USB Watcher ( both version ) and DRIVE MOUNT , but nothing .
The xoom doesnt't recognize or mount the drive.
Someone have a solution ?
Thanks

Did you reboot while the drive is connected? And of course, are you using a tested usbOTG cable?
Had you been able to connect/use the drives on HC3.1?

I tried to reboot with stick connected , but nothing !
I received the cable yesterday ... after the update to 3.2 , so i don't know if the USB stick works with 3.1.
mmmmmh... about the "tested cable" ... mine is not a cable but an adaptor ... and i hope it works
i can't get mine to work either. Using the same things you are. I have the official motorola cable for it. Never rooted in 3.1, didn't root til 3.2, so no idea if it would have worked then. I am wondering if it is the kernel that is causing this issue. Cause i have seen others post of the same problems with this kernel... Relly wanted this to be working. Go into the hospital thursday for surgery, be in there a week. Wanted to be able to load files off thumb and portable HDs to watch movies on. Can't do either now
Working Now
I initially had the same issue with my USB drive. I then pulled the usb drive out of my "official Motorola OTG cable" then plugged it back in and it now works well. Backed up by SD card to my USB drive . . . no problem.

If you can update to the new Tiamat Manta Ray rom you will be guaranteed to have usbOTG function with the free USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG app. It's now working like a charm with the Motorola OTG "camera kit" adapter.

Upgraded to 3.2, installed Katana, no USB OTG recognition, then installed USB watcher OTG. Now it sees the drive, says it's mounted but nothing shows in Root Explorer? Any ideas?

Where did you choose to mount it? You have to choose. I chose "mount at next available mount point," and I found it at external2.
It didn't give me that option, and it wouldn't use any other point, but after I went and created a few directories within /mnt like USB1, usb2 ect now it works. Thanks for giving me the idea.

Thank you guys
This thread saved me. I upgraded to rooted 3.2 with Tiamat kernel 2.0.0
Its great but I noticed it no longer had usbOTG support. I tried everything I could think of and was a no go. I thought I was gonna have to restore my ROM manager backup of rooted 3.1 but then I came across this thread.
Learned about USB watcher OTG and works like a charm. I love that I can also mount it to my own custom folders and I can now UNMOUNT. Such a needed feature.
Thanks guys !!!

Yes! You need an OTG cable, such as the Motorola Camera Connection Kit. There are others available for less money, but you have to make sure it's really OTG, because it has a different pin configuration.
In addition, you may need to use one of two free apps to help mount the drive--USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG, or Drive Mount.
I've found that it may help to reboot with the drive plugged in (at least the first time).
With this set-up you can use a thumb drive or a large HDD.
My Xoom is fine but my friend bought one and he cant otg with 3.2 unless he roots, right? ... The toshiba does otg out of the box. This was his major buying point. Anyone know why xoom m doesnt yet others will? And yes, he has otg cable.

I tried both of them n failed in both
The drive mount requires busybody. But after installed it, the drive mount apps keep DC.. couldn't use at all
And for the USB mass watcher, when i launch it it asked me to download the latest version, but the latest version isn't compatible with 3.2
What should i do now =(

Sure it is compatible with 3.2. I use it.
Also it's busybox.

I'm not certain if an unrooted Xoom can really access OTG/usb host mode. People say that, but I have been rooted from the start, so I never tested it out.
But i can't even download it from market @@
I jhave it now butkeep fc . Argh
Yeah, I have been rooted since day one as well, so I was unsure of the stock 3.2...

but ii m on rooted 3.2, the apps keep fc when i insert my drive to otg

Are you sure you have an OTG cable?
Also, what are you trying to connect? Some people have had issues with thumb drives but not with an HDD.
thumb drive.. yup i m sure its a otg

Does it dim or does it crash? If it dims and you can't do anything, try turning the Xoom (like from landscape to portrait), with auto-rotate enable, and if a dialog box opens, choose an action.
If it is crashing, can you try an HDD like a Passport?
not dim nor crash. The device just suddenly go black n have to boot up
Hi,
I got my TF300 today and tried to connect my Nexus S to it to transfer some data but it does not get recognized by the Tablet. If I connect it to the dock's USB port nothing happens. Is there a way to make this work? Bluetooth is damn slow for transfering greater files...
Edit: Found a workaround. It works when you boot your phone into clockwork recovery and choose the option mount as USB mass storage. Its not the ideal way, but it works.
Is there another method to get my phone mounted?

Hi all and seasons greetings.
I upgraded my Transformer 101 and Nexus7 to the latest version 4.2, after doing so both machines failed to recognise or read my hard drive. This drive is a samsung 1 TB usb 2 model and has always worked up until this version of android, it is not just Paranoid, I have tried various 4.2 Roms with the same result.
I also tried reformatting the hard drive to exfat with the same result. Third party apps eg. stickmount recognise and mount the drive but it cannot be read.
I have reverted to 4.1.2 and the drive is working okay.
Any idea of a work around for this problem.
Thanks Jim

This shouldn't be posted here!
can any one tell me how to connect my xoom to the usb flash disc by(otg) on the go cable ,it is not rooted device and the OS is 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich ,model mz601 ??
Hi,
AFAIK it was possible to connect an OTG Cable and a flash drive on it without problems on ICS, I can't tell you for sure though.
I have JB in mine and the only problem I face is mounting my external HD, but for that I use an app, however it requires root... Don't know if this will be your case though.

what to do it is not responding when connecting it by otg cable to any flash memory or flash drive....i ve read in another forum that Motorola is locking some devices to not connect to flash memory by on the go cable??

I guess it should be possible for xoom. The problem might come from the type of your otg or your flash drive. Some flash drives theoretically are not readable in android device since they require bigger power source, especially those above 8gb. Yet, i have never encountered flash drive not readable in Xoom with otg since I think Xoom can provide more than enough power for anything plugged in it. I even have my Xoom handle flash drive, mouse, and usb keyboard with my multiport otg and all work normally.
However, you might consider such reason for flash drive not recognized in Xoom. Maybe you can try using your otg and flash drive in the other android device to see if they do work. Or at least try plugging flash drive with smaller capacity such as 1 or 2gb

If i may know, what app do you use to mount external HD? Mine does not even spin when I plug it to Xoom via otg.

Hi,
I use the app StickMount by Chainfire to mount the HD. Hope you can manage making it.
