I'm running the latest HC 3.2.2 due to having my LTE modem upgraded. It is rooted and I've tried using Drive Mount and USB Watcher to get my HDD recognized through usbOTG. It seemed to work fine before but now I can't get it to work.
A few times I've been able to see the HDD in one of the two mounting programs but then it disappears. The HDD turns off (the lights go off) after 20-30 seconds once it's recognized.
Has anybody on 3.2.2 been able to get their usbOTG to recognize? My SD card currently points to External1. Could that be an issue?

the micro sdcard should be at mnt/external1. That is correct. I suggest you flash the Tiamat Odachi kernel 2.2.0 on your rooted 4G Xoom. That should return any OTG functionality you may have lost. This kernel is the only one I know of that was expressly made for and known to be working well on the 4G Xoom. Team Rogue may have also been working on a 4G kernel. Just don't try to flash any custom ROMs until ICS is ported.
Well I tried with latest TIAMAT kernel as well as ROGUE kernel and both give me the same result. Neither drivemount nor usb watcher otg seems to recognize the HDD.
I appreciate the help. Just can't seem to figure out why it's not working. It worked great on Tiamat rom.

Well, I have wifi only and you can see my configuration in my signature line, but on the Odachi kernel I just mounted my 750GB Passport HDD. I used USB Mass Storage Watcher. Works like a charm. I think the newest kernel install overwrites the kernel in the ROM and the kernel controls this hardware stuff, right?
Hello everyone, happy Thanksgiving. How can I use this feature on my Xoom without rooting it? Can someone help me please.
P.S. I have not purchased the OTG cable yet. I need more info before buying one.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, the usb host mode is only available for a rooted Xoom with a custom kernel that gives this functionality. Otherwise the microusb port is only for connecting to your pc.
Why not root?

Because I don't know from where to start rooting.
I find that even with root and either Katana or Odachi I cannot get usbOTG to work with a portable HDD. I'm on 3.2.2.

Is your HDD a newer one? I have a 1st generation Passport that needs a powered hub to run it Xoom doesn't have enough power, but my newer, bigger Passport works just dandy.

Try this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
It should help. There's a modified adb setup link that has you only download just what you need for root...but the guide really walks you through everything.
I had it working on an earlier Tiamat build and kernel. But since the 4G update it's been a no go.

Nothing to be worried about
You have and awesome ROM, the problem is the Kernel.
So all you need to do is to install guevor's kernel 17 for instance (it is the one I have working fine til now) and you're pc would reconigze the transformer!
still not detected
Thanks for the response..
But sadly I am already using 17c, but my pc still can't see my device..

Iam not even able to boot with 17c. I found 16 megatron specific kernel most stable (17 works too). Try the 16 megatron specific kernel
I would have posted in megatron thread if only I could. My account is still new and I still can't post in dev...
Tried 16 still no luck.. tried reflashing the rom still no luck. Hope someone here has the answer to my problem..

Tried to tick and untick the mtp option but still my transformer is not being recognized by my pc.. sigh.. might as well try another rom or go back to stock..
I am having the exact same problem. I just switched from the stock kernel to the guevor 16 kernel and now my PC recognizes the transformer but it says that the ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface failed to install.
Eclipse says that ADB is running normally but it doesn't show any devices in the android device chooser.
Anything I should try?
Hi. I have my asus tf300t only with wireless. I have at home hsdpa usb modem huawei model e220. Does anyone know if i put my sim card in modem and plug it in tf300t, is there any chance to get internet acces? Tnx
as far as I'm aware Android does not support USB modems - So no it isn't possible.
Unless someone can correct me (Which would be great as I'd like to be able to do this).

Android does support USB modems.
It just needs an USB port that is in host mode. Also some kernel/ramdisk modification needs to be done.
I am using a huawei e153 USB modem on my advent Vega tablet. No problems.
But as I said, it will no work on stock kernel, it needs the correct RIL, references t the ril and a recompilation of android with phone features enabled.

most chinese tablets comes with included drivers for usb modems (generally huawey 3g sticks) so it is possible, at least in theory.
dunno if they are linked to some framework or if they are easy to port to other roms.

yes it works, somewhere here is an old thread on this a few months ago a few of us have it working, i cant remember the software off hand its not near me, but that old thread should mention what you need to load to get it working.
just search for it it will show up.
I've had my Galaxy Tab 2.0 7 for about 5 months now, and have rooted it, installed Modded ROMs, etc. Really enjoyed it.
However, yesterday, I decided to clean up my 32 gig external memory chip, and hooked up the USB cable to the computer as in the past.
Whoops! PC will now not recognize the tablet in USB mode. Nothing changed from the day before, both PC and tablet had worked together then.
Now, I get this message in the Device manager of the PC "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
I tried the normal things, reinstalling drivers, using different USB ports, etc. Nothing worked. So, I'm assuming that I had a hardware failure
in the tablet or the USB cord that came with it.
I'd like to know if there is anyway to "Root" my tablet by Using wireless? That still works, and I can move stuff off and onto the tablet. But I
would still like to have the obvious advantages of it being rooted.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.
OK, first off, if you've already rooted it and installed custom ROM's, why would you need to root it again? you talk of reinstalling drivers but have you rebooted BOTH the computer and the tablet since this problem occurred and you redid the drivers? Why are you trying to connect to the computer to erase files on the tablet, you do know there is a file manager in android that you can use to delete files? If you don't mind buying the pro version there is an app called "wifi file transfer" that connects to your PC via a web browser and you can copy files off and on (never done onto myself) your tablet with over wifi, I use it when I'm at work and don't have my cords with me but need to moves pictures from an android device to my laptop.

Need to root it again, because somehow, the root was removed. Still works just fine, have busybox and clockwork recovery, but it is not rooted. Don't ask me why. And, yes, I have rebooted both units, probably 4 or 5 times - reinstalled drivers several times. I normally use wireless to remove files, because it is faster, and easier to find the files I want. I have WiFi Transfer Pro, but that doesn't help the "root" situation. I don't have any problems moving files onto and off of the tablet, just can't root without USB connectivity.
No Answers, I guess. What this boils down to:
Is there anyway to root this device without using USB connectivity?

Here is a tutorial for rooting with cwm, I'm not sure how well it works though.

I guess just download the cwm root file and flash it.

If you have clockwork mod working then all you need to do is flash the same ROM you are running, you should then be up and running with a fully functional rooted ROM if I'm not mistaken

That is for flashing cwm, which you said you all ready have. You just skip to step 11 since you have cwm. There is a cwm flash able root.zip on the page.

wich rom are you using right now?? beacuse if by loosing root you just mean that you do not have anymore the superuser app that does not mean that you losto root!!! for example on my PAC-ROM i have root but no superuser app because superuser is integrated in the setting menu!!!
and so i think that now it is the same for most CM based ROM.
But if you easly want to check it just install from play store superSU from chainfire! it will check root on the first opening!!

I am using the "PSN_Stock_P3100XXDMB1_4.1.2" ROM. And I indeed lose "Root", but still had SU and busybox. How it happened, I'm not quite sure. I followed bluecarbon's advice, and flashed a cwm flash able root.zip. That did it very nicely. I now have root and am a very happy camper.
Thanks to everyone, especially bluecarbon.

I have an Infuse 4g that I've rooted and romed multiple times with no problem, but about 2 months ago I updated it to 4.2.1, rooted and romed it with paranoid android and eventually bricked It and restored it back to stock using Odin. I was planning to sell it until I changed my mind because it's such an awesome phone , so I decided to reroot it. That's when I tried rerooting it, but it didn't show up on the computer when I connected it. I even tried using 3 other computers, different usb cords, and even the different usb ports on the computers as recommended.
I've never had this kind of problem before, and if I did I looked on here and always found the answer. I even waited to see if anyone had the same problem which I did find a thread on it, but it has become inactive with no solution. I would be very grateful and willing to donate to someone who could help. I'd much rather donate some money than having to buy another phone that I can root . Thanks in advance

Hey, what do you suggest for getting files off the phone unto a computer?
1 - jig = download mode
2 - files to PC?
- USB, mount drives to copy sdcards
- USB, run ADB from Android SDK to copy anything... Use adbmagic or android commander for a window-based interface
- SMB, to copy to PC via wifi
-CIFS (if the kernel supports it) to copy to PC via wifi
First option is easiest, others require some searching, reading, learning, and setup on your part.
--- if you are talking about your apps, run TiBu first and then copy the contents of the TitaniumBackup folder from phone to PC along with everything else you want to save.
--- To fix USB connection problems, if you are running windows, you can try removing the phone usb entries from device manager. I wrote something up on this a while ago.. I'll post a link when I'm back in front of a computer.

Sincerely, the 4.2 update was a bad choice. Samsung should make a better update. I'm not spitting on it, but no Smart Dock mode?
I'm hopefull that Samsung will launch a bugfix for that.
More than half year passed since that problem appeared with the 4.2.2 update.... Is there any solution to use the multimedia dock on 4.2.2 or only the downgrade can help?
You need a kernel with dock support enabled.
There are some configurations to change while compile new kernel:
CONFIG_MUIC_MAX77693_SUPPORT_OTG_AUDIO_DOCK=y
CONFIG_MUIC_MAX77693_SUPPORT_SMART_DOCK=y
CONFIG_MUIC_MAX77693_SUPPORT_CAR_DOCK=y
I compiled my own kernel and use a cable made to support simultaneos charge and otg.
If you want, send a message and I will sent my kernel.
I wonder how the adapter I've got off eBay^ works then. As long as I do plug in power + USB before the HDMI, I get screen off, charging, and USB host and MHL output. Although the only way I can trickle charger rather than slowly drain is by using the 3A charger from my Chromebook instead of a regular 2A charger.
