I get the fact about the SDCard issue, however, can I hook the Xoom up using the MicroUSB and copy stuff to internal storage and SDCard, or do I have to remove the card and copy stuff to it using my adapter in the PC?
yes u can hook up ur xoom to ur laptop or whatever with the microsd, when u plug it let it install then go to my computer, click xoom, wait til you see the hard drive, then open that and you'll see your folders as if it was a sdard

Not 100 percent sure but i beleive someone said that you need to boot the device with the usb plugged in for it to recognize some drives?

It should be listed as usbdrive using your favorite file manager. Usually under
...
...
sdcard
sdcard2
usbdrive
Its not like windows. It doesn't pop up with a window when you plug it in. Flash drive must be formatted fat32. Android doesn't like ntfs

I do see the USB drive bit it's always empty. USB drive is fat32 formatted.
Using a USB mouse works great. I don't get a popup which notifies me about a connected usb drive like my archos 101 did.
Did a little discovery:
When connecting the tab to pc with a usb cable only then a "mount usb" message pops up.
Then a usb drive will work.
Now how do i get the gtab to mount the usb drive ?
I don't think any of these roms are gonna give you a popup when you load a usb drive. I just plugged one in on tnt 3.1 and it reads it thru file manager. I was on vegan beta4 and did the same thing yesterday
Edit: usb disk not usb drive
When you connect a cable from your pc to the tablet the pop up is to allow the tab to unmount the internal sdcard so your pc can read it.

I do not understand...what is location of the usb files then ?
Open iFileManager and hit the icon that looks like a house. Scroll down and you will find a folder named usbdisk. That is your usb drive. Open the folder. I'm assuming the usb drive is plugged in

/usbdrive is empty.
It becomes populates when i insert a mini usb cable and connect it to the pc.
This give me the mount option and only then i see files under /usbdrive.
idk then, I never had a problem reading the usb drive on vegan beta4. Sorry I can't help
OK, found it.
I have to unmount the sdcard first. Then the usb drive shows with files.
Thanks.
Cool....You may wanna drop a note in the vegan thread on what you did. Maybe others have had the same issue.

Hey. I just got a USB Flash Drive and tried connecting it to my GTab but no dice. I am running Vegan 5.1 and using ES File Explore. I navigate to the root directory and see sdcard, sdcard2, and usbdisk. Sdcard and sdcard2 has my internal storage and my micro usb storage files respectively. But nothing pops us in usbdisk. I tried removing the microsd, rebooting with the USB inserted, and unmounting the microSD but no dice.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Scott
Update: So I tried going to settings and unmounting the sdcard and now I can see the USBdisk. Odd. If I want to transfer data from one drive to another, I cant accomplish that because the SDcard is unmounted. Also all my appdata and stuff are not present. Any way to have both of these drives mounted at the same time?
Thanks
I cannot access my external sd card that's in my gTab from windows via the USB cable. I seem to remember that when I first bought it , I could see both the internal and external storage when I connected the gTab to Windows via USB (when it still had stock ROM). Now I am running rooted VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0b5.1.1 and when I connect it via USB to windows I can only see the internal storage (I couldn't see it when I tried cyanogenmod either). I can access both brom the gTab just fine and if I take out the ext. sd card, windows reads it just fine.
Any idea why and/or how to access both internal and external storage from windows when gTab is plugged in via USB to windows?
As far as I know you could never access the external sdcard from the computer by usb
I load things from my external SD to internal SD and visa versa using ghost commander. Not a super big deal just one extra step. At this point I almost forgot I had to do that to move files between them and my PC.
i use a app that mounts them both
The way I found to access my external sd card from my computer is to ftp into my gTab using filezilla on my computer and SwiFTP FTP Server (available free from Market) on my gTab. Here is another post that talks about how to access the ext. sd card remotely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869844

Thanks, I know some other people will want to try this app.
Not a great fit for me as I dislike the delays built into a lot of free apps.
I just plug a USB thumb drive into my PC, download the files onto that then plug it into my tablet and download from the USB drive onto the SDCARD. Easy like pie.
Works the other direction too!!!
Hello everyone, I am having a problem trying to figure out how to get my Xoom to hook up as a disk drive. It only mounts up as a media device so that I can ONLY xfer music and images. I am trying to drop a CM9 rom on to my SD card. I remember when I rooted it that I had to push the files to the Xoom but I somehow forgot how to do it :O Didn't know if there was any way or just have to push the file to it...
Any help would be greatly appreciated much!
The rom that I currently have is as followed:
[ROM][Nightly][ICS] Team Eos WiFi Nightlies (Wingray/MZ604)

Why not just use an adapter or card reader and drop it directly from your pc?

I did, but when I go into recovery it does not show up. When I try to click on, install .zip from sd card, nothing is in there.
Its weird, when I click on "Xoom" from "my computer" I can either choose SD card or Internal storage, once I drop a files into my sd card and try to find it on my Xoom, its totally missing, but still on my computer...
I tried going into recovery and keeping the Xoom connecting and mounting to USB storage, but when I do that, it recognizes it in my computer as "disk G" and when I click on it it says please insert a disc etc.
I am totally lost and totally irritated, I just want to flash CM9!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you not download the CM9 directly onto your Xoom from their website without having to use your PC? The reason I'm asking is that I also had loads of issues when connecting the Xoom to the PC or Mac, and having to take out the SD card and pop it into a card reader is also a pain as you have to turn off your Xoom first. By far the easiest solution for me was just to download CM9 directly onto the Xoom's internal memory and then manually move it to the external SD card. Easy peasy...
In command prompt
Adb push <filename> <xoom path>
Example:
adb push cm9.zip /mnt/sdcard/CM9-Files/
That assumes either adb is in your path and your have changed to the directory of the file you are pushing...or...adb is in the same directory as the file being pushed.

Why do you have to turn your xoom off to take the SD card out? Just go to settings>storage and scroll down to your sdcard and unmount it then take it out. Just tested it and it works fine.

Hi all,
I have a sd card that i want to copy its contents to an external hard drive. I have the following
OTG cable
USB Mains powered hub - This one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-Te...8&qid=1419902366&sr=1-6&keywords=usb+main+hub
1 tb external hard drive(NTFS)
Micro SD card (Fat32)
Micro sd card adaptor
I have connected the external hard drive and the micro sd card adaptor to the usb hub, then connected the usb hub to the OTG cable which is then connected to my phone, however Stickmount is not recognising the external hard drive, nor is Nexus Media Importer. Does anyone know if this is a limitation wihtin Lollipop (5.01) as it use to work in KitKat.
Should i just go back to KK?
I am rooted and on 5.01
if someone has any ideas please post, as i need to get this sorted wihtin the next few days
Thanks

To add to this, your portable hard drive is likely formatted in NTFS. Look at the OP in the thread beekay201 posted for instructions on how to handle this.
Thanks for the link..... I placed the files needed into the sdcard root, but it still does not recognise the 2 drives together
You need to provide more detail, like, help us to help you.
This external HDD you got, have you tried to hook it up, without using the USB hub? The external HDD itself, it's self powered, or draws power from the phone (or the hub)?
Paste a logcat to hastebin.com when you connect the HDD or the sdcard to the phone through OTG cable for us to see.
What StickMount version (I mean, literally the version number, not if pro or free) are you using?

right.. if you had searched about this, you'd have found lots of people having issues with L+Es file explorer. use another file explorer, and be done with it.
also, there's nothing wrong with stickmount or the logs. if it works with another FM, i'd just stick with that.
if you want to keep trying ES, be advised that you might need to try the "PIE PATCH" - fixes issues with root access/ES. I'm feelin generous (and bored) so here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-security-check-t2797731
Right,i've got it working using the mains power plug on the USB hub. also ES File explorer is also working if i go via the folder structure rather than the left hand side menu.

Good.
@euqiddis please edit thread title to include "[SOLVED]" i.e. "[SOLVED] - Slightly urgent - Multiple OTG devices on Lollipop".
Thanks in advance.
Okay so I have an OTG adapter.
I try one USB Flash Drive which works fine currently, but my other, the one I had just spent all night uploading files too, comes up as corrupted when I plug it in.
It still works just fine in my computer, no errors found, so I don't know what's wrong.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Without reformatting.
Misleading title - you say corrupted SD card but are talking about using an OTG adapter.
In any case if you're talking about a USB flash drive or a card you're reading via an adapter: If it were me and as you have stated - it works fine on the computer - then I'd copy all the files off to my hard drive using a computer, format the flash drive/card in exFAT format on the computer and then copy the files back onto it using the computer . . and then test it on the device via USB OTG. You could just copy a folder or two onto the reformatted flash drive first just to test to see if things are going to work as expected before going through all of the effort of copying everything.
