Im currently on ginger bread and using romulus rom...
Thanks!

ES File Explorer?
In settings change root directory to /. If it is mounted correctly I guess you should see a folder for the USB stick.
And my usb has no power host....
Im connecting flash drive directly using micro-male to usb-female cable....
And Is there any possibility for usb stick mounting if i upgrade to ics?

you can mount usb stick if you have lapdock.
otherwise your usb isnt powered and will not be able to.
lapdock can even power external hard drive and handle ntfs with an app.
any file explorer will read it, but you need power. buy a powered hub and use that, it should work

i have connected the two power cables of the micro usb-usb female cord to power...
i mean i given a bypass charge to the cable and now which app should i use to make my flash drive seen in my file explorer
If I'm not mistaken, 2.3.x Gingerbread does not have USB Host support built in. That's a function they added into Honeycomb, and is now in Ice Cream Sandwich.

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
do i need to go through this process? note that i ve flashed the tiamat kernel already

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
Attention Developers: Looks like the T-989 has an OTG USB enabled kernel...
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-enable-otg-usb-host-support-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s-ii-t989/
So, have a few questions for the kernel experts:
1) I'm looking for a basic I727-SR kernel (i.e., not OC'd or UV'd, no special boot animation, no BLN, etc). So yes, basically a stock AT&T I727 kernel WITH:
a) OTG USB Host enablement (to be able to r/w, transfer files between phone and a USB flash drive);
b) Battery optimization
c) Stability
2) Anyone aware of an AT&T I727-SR kernel that is not OC'd but has the added functionality of OTG USB hosting?
3) If not, any Devs interested in creating a basically stock kernel but with OTG USB hosting?
Thanks.
Bump. Really... 3 days? Where's the love?
Just curious, aren't there any other Skyrocket users who would like this functionality? OTG-USB will allow you to r/w, transfer files from phone to a usb flash drive simply by plugging flash drive into phone (albeit, you'll need a $1.98 OTG USB adapter). No need to slave the phone to a computer to share/transfer files, pics, music, etc.
There is a new Kernal with OTG in the Dev section, "AT Stock—ish"

I have a stock Skyrocket 2.3.5. It reads FAT32 formatted flash just fine but not NTFS formatted usb drives. i thi k the issue is with filesystem driver support - not OTG per se.

I took the 2.3.6 OTA update and my SR cannot read my FAT32 USB flash drive.
Hey everyone....I've posted many times about my infuse USB port not working to sync to my computer....so my question is this...I'm running cm7 loving it...can I put the cm9 zip on my external SD card through a card reader and flash it on my phone? Is it possible and what steps do I need to do? I would love cm9 or other roms for that matter but its not life and death.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
No, it has to be on the intr sd...not the ext sd...but why can't you copy it from the ext to the inter from with in your phone?
I copy files all the time to/from my ext to inter sd....
But if you need to return to stock...
I would also put zen tool on there also to back your ROM...
Make sure you have all needed on your phone and copied over to your intr sd.....
Since yore USB is not working? Is it a hardware issue?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Yes its apparently a hardware issue and pretty common I guess on these phones.....just stopped connecting to the computer. It charges but I can't sync.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
Try a different usb cable, different usb port, make sure the drivers are installed, enable usb debugging?
Did you select mass storage mode?

Hey There,
We had the same issue with many units and solved all by doing the following:
-Flashing the unit back to stock
-Performing a factory data reset after flashing(This is a must)
Made some progress with USB storage without the use of an app. Setup so far is really simple. Add a line to /system/etc/vold.fstab that looks like this:
dev_mount usbdrive /mnt/usbdrive auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.0
Still need work on getting the external storage managed by the system.
WARNING:
This is just a first step and with no way to unmount using Android's storage manager you may corrupt your external storage.

NOOOO! I Seriously! And you tell me this now. Thanks I'll give it a whirl.

Wow I JUST got my OTG yesterday. Fantastic timing.
what this means... hopefully
As it stands now, adding this line will cause your N7 to automount a usb drive to /usbdrive. You will see "preparing usb storage" in the notification bar and your file explorer of choice will see the data in /usbdrive. Unmounting is an issue at this point. I hope to fix that in a few days when I get the time.

I believe this works on the N7 I am waiting on my cable to test. I realize you want to do it without a app but the syntax should be close.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that CM10 already has USB Storage OTG built into it with the last few nightlies.

a day late and a dollar...
Haven't been following the cm10 builds. Still gonna push forward for the exercise.
People who don't run CM10, can use this method. Would be cool if unmount is done.
Guys, quick question as I'm receiving my N7 tonight, the usb stick format can be ntfs? Or only fat32? Thanks
EDIT: saw from other thread, ntfs seems ok as well. i already got the tab and will start unlock and root.

Just wanted to confirm that stickmount works well with the N7.
I have it installed and I've used it on two different usb drives.
A 32GB PNY USB2.0 Flash Drive Stick
And an 8GB uSD card inserted into an elago II USB Reader.
Both worked without any issues.
However, I'm still intrigued by a method to get usb mass storage support natively w/o an app
That does it...I give in! I gotta try the twrp recovery. Feel like I just decided to cheat on my girlfriend.

But stickmount already does that and it unmounts it as well.

I saw a post about it somewhere around here. Referenced Amazon.uk, the title was USB otg that work and ones that don't I believe. Google can probably get it. If I wasn't using the app I would hook you up.

Can I ask, does this support NTFS r/w? or r/o.
Everything I've tried, aside from USB OTG Helper--including a CM10 kang rom that claimed to support ntfs OTG--will only mount r/o.
Including the command $ mount -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /usbdisk. I guess it's the ntfs driver or something? but it will only mount r/o. Even $ mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/sda1 /usbdisk does not work, it still is ro.

I do not have access to a computer at the moment. I need to make a bootable ubuntu iso to fix my laptop. I have the iso downloaded on my galaxy note 3. I can put this on a usb hard drive via a OTG cable. I need to make the hard drive bootable using only my phone. I am not rooted and I am using lollypop. Thanks for looking.
No reply. I suppose this must not be possible.
