Hi to all!
Here's the problem that I have.
After upgrading my Xoom (US 3G) to Tiamat 2.1 Hammerhead USBOTG stopped to work. When I try to connect flashdrive via this cable it blinks only once and that's all. The folder USBOtg is empty -> nothing is shown (but I know that there are files). I tried to format flashdrive to various filesystems (NTFS, FAT32) -> no result.
Another strange thing after upgrade is with MicroSD folder. It shows me only old data. All new one that I copied to it via PC it doesn't show at all. AND!!! PC doesn't see the content of folder with name "external" on Xoom but when I copy there files from PC then Xoom can see them.
May anyone advice any steps to return usbotg and microsd in normal working state?
I tried to re-flash Xoom with previous various versions of firmwares (mods) -> the same situation.

Two different issues--if you read the release notes with the Hammerhead Rom, Team Tiamat removed the USB Mass Storage enabling that had been in earlier Rom, due to various difficulties. So that means you can no longer use your PC to copy files into the micro sd card in the Xoom, but you can cop files directly to the sdcard using an adapter or card reader. Your Xoom should still have access to the files on your micro sd card at mnt/external1.
The usbOTG works fine for me but it needs the help of an app like USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG or Drive Mount. Both will work. It also helps to reboot with the drive plugged in the first time if you are having a hard time getting the Xoom to recognize it.
Thanx! Drive Mount helped me with recognizing and mounting flash drive (but only after Xoom reboot with drive plugged in). USB Storage Watcher OTG crashes everytime when I start it with drive connected -> with disconnected it starts normally but won't see any after-connected drives. Ssems that I'll use Drive Mount program
As for MicroSD -> even connected directly to PC and copied some files to it Xoom still sees only old data. Any ideas?

Actually, try checking the folder mnt/external1 (1) as this is HC3.2's official mount point. The Microsd mount point is an artifact of an older Rom.
i am using hammerhead rom with tachi kernel.
yup the usb otg not working.
tried both usb watcher and drive mount.

Make sure that you are using a REAL usbOTG cable.
A real USB otg cable? What needs to be special about the cable in order for it to work?

This is where I will suggest that you do some research. Start with this forum and then search elsewhere. Just today I have answered this question 3 times. Search on my name and you will see my posts with your answer.

Your cable will never work because it is not OTG. OTG has a different pin configuration to allow the Xoom to function in usb host mode. If you are handy with a soldering iron you could make one, but why not buy one, they are availble. Here is my Google search for USBOTG Xoom to get you started: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=usb+otg+xoom&aq=2s&aqi=g1g-s9&aql=&oq=usbOTG
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?

1Tb Samsung Drive - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Sli...qid=1419981942&sr=8-1&keywords=1tb+samsung+m3
The drive is self powered
I can connect the drive using the OTG cable, but using ES explorer, when I try to connect to the folder, it says "failed to open files"
Logcats

Hopefully that should be enough

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.
I have an encrypted Kingston datatraveler USB flash drive. To access one of these you have to run the program on the drive (Windows software) to open the "vault". I'm wondering if there is a way to access this drive via OTG on my Galaxy s5. No nefarious purposes here--I would just like to use the flash drive. I don't want to get around the security, I want to keep that. I'm sure I could connect it to a Windows PC and get at it via Wifi, but I'm positing a case in which I have only the OTG cable, the flash drive, and my phone.
so, my problem is that i only have 3gb lefr on my phone and netflix says no sd card detected when trying to select an external storage as download directory. i am using sony 16gb usb drive with an usb c adapter. i can acces my drive with the built in "files" app. is there a way to create a shortcut or symbolic link or whatever its called that is named .of that links to a folder in my usb drive called netflixmovies? maybe that will trick netflix to think its downloading and playing from the internal storage but is actually using usb storage via that shortcut folder. i have xiaomi mi5 32gb with stock international rom with locked bootloader and no root. is there a possibility i can do this? sorry for my bad english, im 15 and its not my native language
As the title says: Is there a way to connect an MTP device to a Poco X3 via USB OTG? As in the X3 should be the host, the opposite of what happens when you connect in file transfer mode to PC
Mass storage devices (eg. a flash drive, external SSD) work just fine, but MTP devices (eg. another Android phone in file transfer mode, a Nintendo Switch in copy to computer mode) simply don't elicit any response from the X3
My question is, is there a way to get the phone to recognize these, perhaps by means of an app?
(I can root the phone if necessary, but I would rather keep this stock if possible mainly because it's a real pain to set everything up after unlocking the bootloader)
