I just mounted a 2TB HDD but with an external power Source. Size is not the problem, but without a external powersource, u will need a USB Y cable. Plug the single end into your tab, the other two are to connected with a powersource (battery with usb or just into your tablet charger) and your hdd. Done

Thanks for answering friend ...
Was it NTFS or FAT32 ?
did you use any usb managering app?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk 2

NTFS of course... but i think its capable of mounting every format if running extetnal via usb dongle. If you are on stock, your tab should recognize the new data source automaticallly. If not, use *stickmount* from chainfire in the play store. (Root required)

Just plug it into your hard drive, the other end goes into your tab. That one whats left goes into a usb port with powersource. (Your tablet charger or an iphone charger. For travelling i use a external battery with usb output.) Could not be easier dude...

The powersource is to power your hard drive, not the tab

So you have to buy one. A modern laptop can provide enough to make the hd work, this tab can't.

I have read that this tab can handle allover the net and u r telling me this ?

Don't think so buddy. With the symptoms you have described on the OP, the only way you can get it to work is with a power cord extension.
It's is not even a guaranteed method, and if you don't take real care with the second power source you may damage your hdd.
This is the cable, by the way:

Just a thought

So I'm waiting for my SD card
And
I have no USB cord at the moment
From what I know g2x don't have fastboot
But
I was wondering if I could flash a rom from my internal memory via terminal emulator
Like so
Flash_zip update data/update.zip
Just curious because I'm impatient
Plz dnt bite my head off it was just a thought for us impatient few and I'm not brave enough to try without input
EDIT
First in terminal to wipe
It would be
format system?
Or
Format ......
And obviously after flashing
Type "reboot"
But generally speaking wouldn't that be the same as flashing thru clockwork
Just a more technical way and from internal memory?

So any idea what command may get that to go thru?

What do you mean you don't have a USB cable? without one you can't charge your phone. there's a usb cable that comes with the phone + an ac adapter, so you have to have a usb cable.

I didnt see a usb.

Didn't understand you maybe. Plz explain further what you want to do...
For usb, you need kind of an adapter to connect to xoom

[Q] otg support without external power source

Nexus S cannot supply enough power to external devices. This is because of old hardware.
Even if you connect a device, I doubt if you'll have a good experience using USB OTG.

[Q] Does the Note 12.2 generate enough power to run mass storage devices

Does the Note 12.2 generate enough power to run self powered mass storage devices? or we have to use powered USB Hub ?
My note pro doesn't run any kind of mass storage devices ( I'm not rooted )
One says external power needed and the other one keep ticking .
my Note 3 run them with no problems.
any one with note pro pls test and advice back.

I tried one on my NotePro but no joy: but, then I can't even get a flash drive to mount. The drive works fine with my older Xoom. With the NotePro it doesn't even power up.

Which USB ptg cable do you have? I have a couple of different ones. I managed to get one of them to let me connect my dive computer and download, but not any of the drives.
I have one that converts the USB 3.0 micro B to a standard USB. It seems to be pretty good. It is a solid piece instead of a cable, but it doesn't work with anything, including my dive computer.

No, but I usually use ESFile Explorer. Where does it mount the flashdrive?

It is rooted. But I don't believe that is relevant. I have done nothing extra aside from adding a theme and adding apps for multi window

Did you try to use Mass storage before rooting? as one of the posters mentioned that root will give extra permission to fire mass storage with out external power? he said root and instal stick mount / folder mount and enjoy.
I'm afraid to root before making sure that it is not a hardware problem as service center in our area don't know Even that we can mount mass storage device.

I did not try before root as it is the very first thing I did right after peeling off the plastic and powering it up. What is your reservation about rooting?

I dont have any?? I rooted mine as soon as it was available. I was just making sure the answer provided before hand had taken into account that the original posters hard drive was not powered by its own power source. It wasn't clear from the answer I quoted beforehand. I dont see the point in any android device without root.

I agree root is a must but once root warranty will void so i need to make sure that device is free off hardware problems (which I'm not sure).

No problem for me. Was able to restore my titanium backup from my usb stick.
