usbOTG on 3.2.2

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.

Cleanrom tf700

Hello so I was going to install the TWRP clean rom for my device, however on the download link my device was not avalible, can someone suggest any other clean rom for me?
Ps: One of the main reasons that I want to try a clean rom is that i hope that the micro hdmi cable will work again, I dont completly understand what the clean rom does so does anyone think this might help?
(the micro hdmi worked fine before, but the next day the device didnt find the cable, however the TV finds it. The day before it stopped working I added a few roms for my emulator)
thx in advance

TWRP is a custom recovery.
CleanROM Inheritance(CROMI) is a different firmware or ROM for your device.
You need to install TWRP if you want to flash a new ROM like CROMI.
In order to install a custom recovery like TWRP you need to be unlocked. There is a sticky at the top of General waling you through the steps as well as guides.
Here is a link to the CleanROM thread where you can download the latest version

It sounds like you indeed are mixing up "custom ROM", recovery and CROMI. Be sure to read up on those and DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING until perfectly educated. You might end up with a very expensive paperweight otherwise. We'll gladly help you in preventing that, rather than cleaning up the mess afterwards.

I have indeed already flashed my device and am about to instal clean rom, however as i said there s non for my device apparently, atleast the download link doess not show for my devce. So back to my original question. Are there any other i can use and do you think it wil fix my hdmi connection problem?

I think I now understand where you're getting at: the original CleanROM is no longer available for the TF700. Scrossler ended support -- sbdags picked it up and called it CleanRom Inheritance (CROMI for short). Go to the Development forum and pick it up there, and flash away.

Lightbulb moment! Thank you Marty! :good:

GT-N5100 After 4.2.2 Update MultimediaDock not recognized

Hi
Today i make the official update to 4.2.2 on my 5100.
After this my Samsung Multimedia Dock wont work. Neither HDMI nor Mass Storage (USB flash drive) is recognized.
Thats really annoying because i need the dock for my work (Presentations with VGA adapter and Mouse)!
Would anyone confirm this problem?
Have anyone a solution?
Thanks for answering!

Yep, Confirmed.
Multimedia Dock only working as a charging dock now with 4.2.2
Can't even sync with it.
Went back to 4.1.2 because of this and all is working fine again.

You have to install them while the card is NOT connected. After you installed them, connect the card. As you can read in the post I linked to I had to install them several times myself and reboot before I did not get that device not recognized anymore. After that it seemed to work.....

It´s not working for me.
Did you meen the Sim-Card not to Connect.
If I right understand you, I have to plug in the Docking (with Power Chord on) without connected to my carrier?
Thanks for answering!

Maybe he means the usb cable. ( cord? )

Back to 4.1.2
And all is working again!
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.

I just updated to 4.4.2 and lost docking ability. Will it be possible to use your kernel for an SGH-I467 from AT&T, the boot loader is locked...I don't know of a method to unlock it. Please advise. Thank you:good:

[Q] Seek Thermal camera on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

Hi guys
Here is my problem: I upgraded my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 to Kitkat 4.4.4
That was a requirement for installing the Seek Thermal Camera that I am having trouble with (please Google it I am not allowed to post links yet)
The other requirement that someone from support indicated to me was OTH USB which Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 seems to have
I used a micro USB cable to connect the camera to the table.
So right know I have the software installed and the camera connected but ..the software can not see it
My tablet is rooted. Is there any way I can debug this and see if actually the kernel sees this new thermal camera ?
thanks a lot

If it takes us 2 days to get to the point of your questions (we are not even close to that) then I would prefer not to be helped this way
You could have said I need you to do this and that... if your tablet was not rooted correctly then this is not going to work.
The camera does not require the tablet to be rooted. debugging that might require that but I don't see your point.

So you are using this with a micro USB adapter?
Looking at the specs it doesn't mention "android tablet compatibility " except for eYepaDs .
Maybe that's why IT doesn't work?

Here is what the developer told me
Ryan (Seek Thermal)
Nov 06 10:22
The basic requirements that can prevent download are 4.3 or newer Android and a rear-facing native camera. The USB OTG functionality, as well as the USB port providing power to OTG attached devices, will not block download, but the camera won't connect. Ideally we would block downloads by USB OTG functionality, but tha tis not an option in Android right now.
Ryan
Seek Support

So you need to revert to a stone age rom in order to use a gadget that is not really supported by an android tablet, and the developer will tell you a bunch of double talk so you don't return the gadget costing him a profit.
"And a rear facing native camera " will prevent download?
What does he mean by "prevent download "?
Does that mean that app won't function?
You need to download samsung stock firmware, and flash with Odin (may need to do factory reset also ) if it doesn't work after first odin flash.
I would test before rooting.

Nope he was dumb ..actually he wanted to say that if you have something older than 4.3 you can't install the app
The rear facing camera was unclear to me.
I am going to but a cable and test this in an emulator
I suspect that my cable can be the right one but it does not take the OTG power from the tablet to the other end of the cable...
I did not make sure that the cable was OTG, I thought that only the port is that way. Not sure how I can verify this

Don't think cable has to be OTG specific, if the voltage is present to power a device the cable will work. You may need to find out what pin on connector is supposed to be hot for OTG and test.

USB OTG problem

You haven't applied any stock updates or anything? If it worked before then you've changed something in settings or something if you haven't updated the device.
It would help if you posted your device model number and the stock firmware version/build number that your device has. Then I can help you troubleshoot through the required steps for your device.

You are missing the point about the update.
I'm asking if the device has what it had when you bought it or has it had a stock update applied at any time? If it was on one version when you bought it and the keyboard worked at that time but has had a stock update since then and now the keyboard isn't working then that could be what is giving you problems.
Have you also checked the language and input setting to see if you have the physical keyboard enabled?
