I check on GSMarena.com , Xperia SP doesn't have USB on-the-go (OTG) ,
but on storage settings , it can mount flash drive by default.
Have you tried mounting a Flash Drive before? Or maybe voltage issues?

you can always try..:good:
but do you know weather your device hardware supports it?
First mention your device and you can mount only If your device supports otg
So make sure your device supports otg or not
If it supports then try connecting a pendrive with a otg cable and then try with hdd

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 =(

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...

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.

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

Yeah, I haven't tried this yet so I don't know much about it. I just remembered that thread because I have been intending to try it out but just haven't gotten around to it.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Hey i think i got your problem which file system did u format your pendrive in ???
try using FAT 32 open root explorer.....r/w (those 8.0 8.1 use their names)
in terminal emulator run dis command
su
mkdir /sdcard-ext/usb (this can be any directory you want on the internal or micro SD)
mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /sdcard-ext/usb
see if this helps :good:

I am using a 8Gb OTG Pen Drive from Sandisk. It works flawlessly. Use file manager (preferably ES Explorer) to access the drive after inserting it.
Is this stable. ?

Your second thread will be deleted or closed soon.
And you don't have to enable usb otg manually just connect otg cable and then device that you want to connect.

But every time i connect the otg cable and a flash drive, it pops up in the notification saying that USB storage is safe to remove. And i cant find device in the folders i'm using root explorer. I check it on sdcard and on the internal and i cant find it, so it means that my phone cant read it. Am i right? Thanks.

I can only assume not many users are actually using mass storage devices. Which is a supprise given the storage limitations.

i have used usb i don,t have this issue. i recommend using repair my phone option in sony pc compnion.
if you have unlocked bootloader then flash full ftf file.
I am using the Elemental X 1.01 kernel that lists exFAT and NTFS as both supported. I tried using the built in storage mount and it just wants to format the drive. I then tried Stick mount and that just seems to lock up it's mount service. How can I read/write my exFAT formatted USB drive?
Saw your post elsewhere. The only time I've done this in the past was by using TWRP file manager. At first the drive couldn't be read, so running fix permissions did the trick. Other than that, I'm thinking you'd need a custom ROM. I honestly don't know what's out there at the moment that would work for you.
I have tested MiXplorer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691) this evening with exFAT and was able to read and write data. To enable goto Settings/More Settings/Enable OTG.
This Works Great!

I like to use my phone to edit GoPro Videos. I had a Galaxy s5 that I would use an OTG cable to read the file off the micro sd card. I got the pixel xl and I was disappointed that I could not read the exFAT files. After reading this post and instaling MiXplorer it works perfectly. A big thanks to you for posting this, and another BIG Thanks to HootanParsa for creating MiXplorer.
EDIT>>>IGNORE THIS I GOT IT.
I just installed Mixplorer on my Pixel XL and have a USB-C flash drive formatted in exFat, turned on the OTG Driver but I can't get my flash drive to show up in Mixplorer. Am I missing something?
