[Q] Problem with connecting flash drives - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm new here. I've been a proud owner of the galaxy note 10.1 since december and recently I got this idea in my head.
What if I could connect my external hard drive to my tablet so i can watch movies on to go... So I got this usb connecter and tried. It doesn't recognize my external hard drive, or a flash drive of 1Gb. I tried this micro sd to usb connecter and put that into my tablet. That it did see. I would love to know why it can't see my other flash/hard drives so i can fix it. And yes it is formatted to FAT32, already tried that.
I really hope you can help!
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem. For me a restart of the device works for me, if it's the problem I have it's really annoying because every time I want to plug in a flash drive I need to do a reboot.

You need a powered hard drive unfortunately... I don't know why but Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, decided the note can't run a portable HDD. Doesn't matter that competitors can...
You probably find the same with the memory stick. As the power drain goes up it hits a threshold that Samsung put in and triggers the "High Powered USB Device Detected" error. As the memory is increased I would think the voltage needed would also increase. My 64gb usb stick works fine 100% of the time... Haven't got anything bigger..

Ultramag69 is correct you will need external power for your HDD drive, I picked up a powered USB for about £4 of eBay . Concerning your USB flash drive plug it into your note then reboot your device it hopefully will be recognised during the boot process like mine.

Yeah the USB connector does get recognised but the flash drive doesn't. For some reason the flash drive gets recognised during the boot process well it does on mine, hopefully yours is the same. Try a reboot . When I get home I'll post a link to the one I bought

I suppose it's worth a try but I can't see why the official wouldn't work. I couldn't get mine to recognise flash drives until someone suggested what I advised to you, shame it didn't work. There does seem to be a lot of people having problems with the otg cable hopefully Samsung sorts this out in a new update.

No idea on the flash drive since mine was able to detect the device when it was stock, have you tried other usb drives? For the portable HDD I bought a y split cable and an external battery from ebay.
Battery wise I got a yoobao-642 but any will do.
Search this on ebay (USB 3.0 Y-Cable Y Cable Micro Type B Male to Standard Type A Male + Power Supply) can't link cause I don't have enough posts.
Also for the HDD to work since it's probably in Ntfs format you have to have rooted your note (superuser) and install paragon or any ntfs mounter from the play store.

Funny enough I thought of a simular solution i bought a Y cable that has a female side, so i can plug the usb cable from my external HDD, since I can't cancel the order i will try it first and if it doesn't work i can always order yours thanks a lot anyway (still working on flashing the custom ROM.

In es file manager my 64gb usb stick turns up under usb device or external usb, not sure which, I lent my adaptor to a friend with a 64gb usb stick.
Have you checked in settings under storage, you might need to mount usb storage....

For what it is worth I finally located the problem and solved it! I can now read the content of my flash drive ). At first it would still only say usb connecter connected. However that was while my language was Dutch. And so i changed my language to english so that i could post the english version of it here. And what do you know, stickmount then recognized my drive and was able of mounting it! D so happy right now
Correction roblem not solved... stickmount can mount it now but what i saw was a sd card

HTC Sensation wont connect to PC (only charge)

Hey, i have had my sensation about 2 months, now when i connect it to a pc it dosnt ask what connection type to choose, it only charges, in the menu it is set to ask me about connection type, while connected to pc there is now no icon in the notification area (used to say 'charge only' or 'disk drive') even when rebooted into 4ext recovery and mounted/toggle usb connection, it dosnt connect as a disk drive like it has always done in the past, it only charges, i have tried 3 different pc's and 3 different micro usb cables, also have tried updating the firmware to 3.24 and installed ICS with the same result, i think its a hardware issue? last time it worked was 3 days ago connected via usb to a jvc headunit listening to my music files.
Weird problem!
Maybe you could try with a different SD card to eliminate the possibility of it being an SD card problem?
If it still doesn't work with another SD Card it may well be a hardware problem.

Well I had the same problem with the custom ROM I use.
Installing it clean with a full wipe solved it.
It is definitely NOT the pc, laptop or SD-card.
Are you on a custom ROM?
- Yes then install clean with full wipe. (make a nandroid backup!!!) and install all apps new.
- No then do a total reset (reset to factory settings) and do all the install stuff new. After that you can also install with RUU your ROM designated for your device.
You will see your USB connection will show up!!
same here
i have exactly the same problem as described in op.
will try flashing a new rom then also; first have to buy a flashcard reader then to get my new rom ON the sd card....
or do you think a nandroid restore would fix the problem? will try that first.
Will report back
The nandroid might restore the problem.I'd try it first.if not , then do the full wipe reinstall as said above .if at the time of the nandroid back up it was working is a good possibility it will fix the issue. Hope this helps!

Couple of tips that might fix your problem.
If you're running aokp make sure you disable fast charge.
Turn on mtp in USB computer connection settings. I have trouble accessing the options from most custom roms, so a little work around is to install either apex or nova, long press add to home screen - shortcuts - activities - scroll down to Settings - USB computer connection(com.android.settings.usbsettings) . Tap it and you should get a shortcut. Select mtp.
Ultimately, the thing that fixed my same issue was getting a different USB cable lol. You can also try different ports on your computer.
Good luck, hope you can find a solution to your problem! If all else fails, you can try using airdroid for transfer over Wi-Fi
Anyone find a fix on this , mine has started doing this yesterday :crying:
Tried 3 different cables , different usb ports , different sd card , formatting sdcards in 4xt recovery , reflashing firmware.... also htc sync re installed for drivers (htc sync does not see the phone), adb re installed (adb does not see the phone??)
dont think its the rom as adb cannot see the phone in fastboot
anyone any other ideas , tried ninjasalad suggestion on enabling mtp also ??
I think you're fine. I had this problem after flashing ARHD 6.6.X, OrdDriod series, and PkMn series. What I did was the following:
Went into settings. Connect to PC. Unchecked the "ask me" , Restart phone. Then checked "ask me" again. Lastly, restarted phone again.
After doing that a couple times, it worked for me. Maybe you can try that.
This happened to me as well. I think it's a hardware problem

check these
make sure you have enabled usb debugging mode from settings
install htc drivers
install htc sync(i am not sure if it is necessary)
use 2.0 usb ports
use the original usb cable if you aren't using it yet
wont work, screen broken

I can't do that because to enable usb debugging mode you have to use the phone and the phone's screen is completely broken and there's no way to even get into it using the touch screen.

[Q] TF101 not recognized by PC (Windows 7/8 x64)

OK. First of all, although I'm using the TF101 for the first time, I'd like to say that I've done a fair bit of rooting, troubleshooting and customizing various Android devices (HD2, Desire, SE x10, SGS2, SGSN, SGSN2...). So I ensure you, any lack of knowledge regarding the TF101 is not caused by ignorance. I'm trying to find out the cause for my problem for few days now, but can't find something to catch on. There are many similar problems with TF101 not being recognized by PC, but they all offer solutions which don't work, I don't understand them, or which make no sense.
Let's start at the beginning.
I have gotten my hands on Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF101. It was really cheap. I was told it came form USA.
It's obviously rooted, has a custom rom and recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1. roach2010-tf101-r1)
This is waht it says in Settings>About:

It seems to be working fine, except for being totally filled up with apps, bloatware and data. Natural instinct was to install a clean ROM. I wanted to go with CM, and a newer Recovery, but I got stuck on the first step. I can't get it recognized on any of my computers. Both Windows 7 and 8.
However I plug it in, I get; USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to you computer has malfunctioned... This happens when I connect the USB cable when Android is booted up, when in recovery and also in APX mode, providing I have entered it (I'm not really sure because the display is always black).
In Device Manager, I can see only one exclamation icon (I did enable show hidden devices) in Universal Serious Bus Controllers called Unknown Device, which seems to be from the TF101. I tried uninstalling it. Restarting both the tablet and the computers. I tried to manually override those Unknown Device drivers with ASUS Android USB drivers for Windows and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 and ventana apx driver, but it wouldn't take any of them. I also tried installing them manually by right clicking on the INF files, and still nothing.
Then I thought I could mount the sdcard or USB mode in recovery, but that wouldn't work either.
Any solutions?
Do you have the stock USB cable? Are you plugging in to a usb3 slot?
Does the rom have fast charge enabled? I think that's what it's called but it allows USB charge rather than seeing your files and such.
Do you have mtp mode or mass storage mode options on the tablet?

Yes, I have stock USB cable. At least I think so. I'm not the first owner. How can I be sure? It seems to be charging fine on the wall charger. It doesn't charge thru PC though.
If you are asking me if I tried it on USB 3.0; yes I did. Both 2.0 and 3.0. Not recognized.
I don't know if the ROM has "fast charge". I'm new to the TF101, and Honeycomb in general, and I didn't notice such an option. Where can I look?
I also didn't see any MTP/Mass storage modes in settings. Where would they be?

I did look around. I read a ton of posts here and elsewhere. There is nothing to the point. People at transformer forums are actually advising to just forget about the usb and use wireless transfer instead, since there are so many people with this problem who can't solve it. That would be fine with me, but I'm especially stuck because I can't flash anything since my USB connection is not working, and current CWM recovery doesn't seem to support flashing from internal memory/sd card.
Before you do anything else, install TWRP recovery before you brick your TF with CWM

Are those drivers signed? I know 7 will reject an unsigned driver for security reasons.

You might need to update to ICS first then, maybe Honeycomb is too old
CWM has a habit of boot looping devices, I would try updating to an ICS ROM and then trying Goo again before going for a Jellybean ROM
EDIT - You might have more luck getting TWRP installed using Easyflasher

My guess is a bad USB cable. I had my USB cable stop working for ADB/APX/MTP/PTP but it still works with the Asus wall wart for charging. New USB cable fixed it straight away.
Solution

Same problem here... Tried Naked Driver and still got nothing. The Tablet just won't get recognized by the computer (Windows 8.1).
Did you have any luck unbricking it?
I've been through soft bricks before but this time, it seems to me that I've hit the bottom... I just can't think of anything else... any help??
had this problem for 2 years now. started off off like that, now it doesnt recognize at all. if it's rooted, flash a recovery using a terminal emulator. (there are instructions on team win's website on how to flash it to the appropriate block). then, just install a ROM with twrp. mine is in a permaloop. wiping data, rebooting, doing it again. if you get it to work, don't tinker with it any more. that's from my experience.

hi sir,..i have the same problem above,.my data cable doesn't work ..the cwm i used now doesn't show my ext sd card,.only clockworkmod file,.is it possible to flash the old rom without computer?..how..please reply ,..thanks,
Don't wanna be the bearer of bad news but, I gave up trying to recover that thing a long time ago buddy. My advise to you would be: let go of it. The way I see it, the only way you could do it would be if you could replace the connection port and regain access to you tablet through you computer - considering the problem is being caused by that port.
Another way of doing that would be if you could actually have access to the tablet's internal storage and then place a ROM there so you could flash that using CWM.
Those are the only two options I didn't try, and now I can't, since I gave mine away to someone I thought could try one of those things, but not even an eager 17 year old boy could do it.
So, good luck with that.

USB data connectivity

Hey !
Recently bought a used n8010 tablet, It only had a 3m cable and charger, when connected to pc it would only charge but wouldn't be recognized
So, bought a 1m data/charge cable on ebay
First one received wouldn't fit in the tablet, so I contacted seller and he sent a new one, that can plug in (but not the same as first one, this one got an arrow on one side), but, pc still doesn't recognize it
I really wanted to root it for GMD S pen control and eventually flash a custom rom, and was potentially thinking about reselling the tab if not totally satisfied with it
So now I'm wondering, did he send me a charge only cable, or does my tablet have a problem ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks for help
Bump
Bought another data cable and also got a usb otg cable with it, but, same happens, usb otg doesn't seems to be working ?
Not sure it should on this tablet idk, but data cable also only charge, tablet doesn't show on the pc ?
Any idea ? Could usb be broken ? and only be useable to charge ?
Any way to root without odin ? And transfer all on wifi with airdroid or other app
Thanks for help

Please provide more info:
What OS is on your PC (Win7/8,OSX,Linux?)
Have you installed Samsung Device Driver (Win7/8)?
Have you installed ADB (all....but I don't think Linux required one)?
What USB port do you have on your PC (USB2 / 3) ?
Have you tried factory reset?
Have you flashed Custom Recovery?

3. Not sure what it is, never used it
4. Usb2 and I think I got 1 or 2 usb3 behind, didn't test
5. Nope, it had already been when I received it
6. Nope, Any possibility without usb ?
7. Tablet running android 4.1.2 N8010XXUCMH2

1. Look at your Win Device Manager if there's broken driver sign &/or conflicted device with your N8000.
2. Kies is troublesome,so I won't recommend Kies.
Try to install Samsung Device Driver only.
3. ADB = Android driver, usually included in the samsung device driver.
4. If you plug it into USB3, make sure you have an updated USB3 driver (it is extremely rare case of incompatibility)
5. Factory Reset once more
6. No/Maybe, most mobile device can use the microSD to flash firmware but I haven't searched about it.
Worst case scenario is....you have a broken set of device :s
UPDATE:
Method 1B
You can find and download the update.zip by yourself, place it on the phone in /sdcard/ and boot into recovery using the 3 button method, choose the option "re-install package" TWO TIMES to load into CWM. Once again the update.zip needs to remain on the phone. DO NOT DELETE!

Sooo, the ekit didn't light up, DATA seems really broken :s
Found that the connector would cost ~25e if I change it myself, but not sure I'll try :/ I also need to change the screen again about 30e (not lcd, but seems lot dust under it, and it's not perfect :s), back got some scratches :s. + Maybe the mb is broken for data ? Can't tell :s
Is if possible to clean dust without changing the screen ?
Idk what to do, try to resell ? (bought 260, ;s maybe can get 235 ? It's a 32gb version)
Also, about cwm, If I install it that way, If I factory reset from android, will it delete files ?
Not sure what's the best

Check this out.
Charging Port Flex Cable Repair Parts for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet N8000
Most of the time it's the 30 pin charging/data port that broken. Broken Mobo is extremely rare.
You can use a small air compressor to clean the dust by opening the case of your N8000 unit.
About CWM...
Flashing CWM won't erase any data, but Factory reset will.
But the data it erase won't be in Internal SD (Virtual SD - /sdcard) & External microSD (/mnt/extSdCard)
If you want to fully wipe your device, do a backup first & do the wipe via CWM.
Use WiFi connection to do the Backup if you decide to fix it.
...and if you want to hide the scratches, use a slim Cover Case
The Options:
Re-sell the unit
Repair the unit
This is a cutting lost situation, calculate the cost for both options.
If you are unsure, better to re-sell it or if you can return it.

Try next kernel.....here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51678768&postcount=2513
Please note you need to flash next-kernel-2.1.8-P31xx.zip first and then proprietary-vendor-Samsung.zip immediately after it. There shouldn't be any reboot between flashing otherwise it may break your camera. when you are done with flashing both,,,,wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
The mouse i s still not getting power dunno why
Maybe something wrong with my otg
??
And thanks the kernal worked so ubdeserve a thanks
And I don't think it is the otg because I bought a universal USB otg too and it didnt work on devices

No Fast Charge and PC connection

Hello colleagues, for 2 or 3 days I've experimented that I don't have a fast charge (and it can take me to charge it like 6 or 7 hours ....) and there is no way that it can recognize the computer, Problem, how do I get it to work ???
I tested several USBs? Yes, in two Windows and a Mac
Have I tried other cables? Yes, 2 official and one no official
I tested it with another terminal? Yes, my partner has another Android and connects on both the USBs and the different cables ....
Have I tested it with other ROMs? Yes, I have tried the Gold Eagle, the LineageOS .... the only thing I can not put a Stock by Odin because neither in Recovery nor in Download mode it recognize the PC .... (and is precisely what I want to do to try to fix the problem)
Only (I think) I would stay to try the Clear Internal Memory but of course, it gives me something to leave it as a brick because it does not connect to any PC ....
To finish saying that Drivers are installed (and that on 2 PCs with Windows 8 and 10 and on a Mac do not recognize me ... it is rare)
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for my English!!
You need latest Samsung USB Drivers, latest Odin3, latest stock firmware (use SamFirm) for your model and optional adb + drivers. Reflash with newest stock and you will see...
About FastCharging... You use orginal cable? And orginal dedicated FastCharger? If yes, must works... I never have problems with FastCharging on NNE5.1 ROM (look my signature).
P.S.
If the PC's not recognize phone how you put ROM's for example from PC to phone? Or is working only on some mode for example in recovery mode MTP option?

Hi, I use AirDroid, just to copy the ROMs into de Phone...but no, I canno't connect it by any form.....I tried in Recovery, Download Mode, changing the differents options in Developer Mode....nothing, there is no way to connect it to my PCs (It charges though..)
About the Fast Charing...yes, everything is original and with another cables neither....
That's weird and I'm pretty sure that with an Odin flash it will fit it but I cannot connect it!! (I tried everything, with differents drivers etc..)

When you connected phone to PC anyway is "beep" sound that PC found new device? Or nothing?

Yes, I hear the "beep" but it appears this message (sorry if is not literally, is Google Translator):
"The USB device is NOT recognized, one of the USB devices linked to this computer has malfunctioned and windows has not recognized it "and I have a recommendation:" reconnect the device. If windows still have not recognized replace it ""
So it is connected, it charges but I canno't use it....in 2 PCs with Windows 8, Windows 10 and in a Mac with Sierra (In MAC it just do nothing..)
Look's like broken USB-port, some pin's or something... That can be also why fastcharging not working, only normal.
I'll keep trying and reading about it...I don't want to expend more money in this phone (I already changed the battery 3 months ago to improve...nothing ). But thank you very much for your answers!!

Because if you changed battery in S6 to new same battery that cannot give you so much... Current batteries do not wear out so fast through charging cycles, for example the battery from 2 years old S6 will hold almost same time as the new one (not half the time as it was in for example iPhone 5 after longer using). If you put battery from S7 Edge then yes, ofcourse... 1000mAh more. I will have orginal one in my S6 in monday, I let people's know how it's working (but i'm sure that's best solution, here can look: https://vordhosbn.com/index.php/blog/tech/galaxy-s6-battery-mod-s7-edge-battery/).
Same issue here

Did you manage to solve this problem.
Having same issue.
What is the status of your phone now.
Your USB port Is faulty or the wiring is coming loose internally. My s6 only charges on a custom ROM because the USB port has s power regulator that is not working and the stock ROM will not let the device charge. But the custom ROM let's it charge just fine. Its not a firmware bug because you have tried multiple Roms. In my opinion it is hardware related. If you want to open your phone I can help you further. But if you don't know how... DO NOT OPEN IT. the screen is glued and you will definitely break things if you don't know how to remove it
