One S says USB storage is damaged, but its not.

My One S (S4 tmob.de, s-on, no root, latest firmware) all of sudden stopped reading my pendrive. It says it is damaged. Pendrive works fine, no problems, i ran chkdsk on it, reformatted it a few times(FAT32, 16gb pendrive). Other pendrives work, but this one wont anymore.
Any ideas?

Normal USB 2.0 Flash Drive connected to my phone through USB OTG cable. I dont know why i didnt mention that..

OK, i finally found someone with USB HOST, and his phone gave option to reformat my pendrive, and now it works. (my phone didnt give me option to reformat..)
I am quite confused, cause it got formatted into FAT32, which it arleady was... but whatever, IT WORKS!

OTG problems with exfat

I'm currently running DU rom and on CM I used otg to transfer pictures from my 128gb SD to Instagram, but I switched because cm randomly reboots and I was having graphical problems too. So I switched to Omni Based DU but now when I plug in my card it comes up like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and I confirmed it still works in TWRP and on my PC? So basically I hate cm with all it's bugs, but I need OTG... Is there any way I can get it to work on DU?

Tried stickmount from the play store?

Yes it has the same problem

Stickmount will mount into a different directory than the ROM does, are you checking the proper directory for where Stickmount is mounting? Just to be sure.

Its folder on my sdcard and files still show up as 0b files, I tried copyingan entire folder from that 128gb card to an ntfs drive and then the stickmount works, but even stickmount doesn't help with exfat... I'm assuming this is a kernel problem

That's my guess as well. AK has a kernel that supports exFAT. Wish NTFS was supported with write in TWRP though, I wouldn't be using exFAT if that was the case.

Two storage devices via USB otg.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying something that I haven't tried before..
Two storage devices via our bacons USB otg..
I connected the USB otg cable to a USB ports extender and connected a mouse and one pendrive.. Worked.. Both the devices worked.. No external power source..
Now coming to two storage devices.. I am able to see only one. The first one connected to the phone.. However, I'm not able to see the second device..
But, when I remove the second storage device without unmounting, the error shows that I unmounted a storage device without unmounting.. Now, that's funny coz my device actually detected the second storage device. But I'm not sure how to access files in it..
Any help will be great..
Here's a picture of what I've been using...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The mouse and USB storage combo works, 2x USB storage devices, I'm able to access the files via the first one connected but not the second device.
But while removing the second device, the error pops up telling that I removed a device without unmounting.. Which means its detecting both the storage devices. But the question is how to access both the devices???
Thanks,

Found the solution... Use stick mount by chain fire.. Both the storage devices are visible...
Mods please close this thread..
Thank you..

[Q] OTG Not Working Anymore?

Nexus 5
Stock 5.1 Lollipop
No root
64gb micro USB/3.0 USB dual USB drive
When I first started exploring the USB via Nexus Media Importer it was fine, now after the 5.1 update it seems to have stopped working, in the app you would usually get 4 ticks allowing you to browse your USB, but now I get this message everytime.

Anyone else?
I have the same problem OTG works on my N7 2013 with no root. My N5 - pretends there's nothing there. Tried rooting, still no USB OTG with StickMount or ES, or any other method I can find.
Both running 5.1 stock.

Hi have no issue with StickMount on my N7 2013 with Android 5.0.2 and on N5 with 5.1
Edit:
Flashed 5.1.1 to my N7 2013 and again no issue with Stickmount

Same problem, with 5.1.1 I no longer have ANY USB functions, incl OTG.

[Q] Does the s7 support 256GB SD card?

Does it support it since i've only heard that the expandable storage is 128~max no mention of the higher versions:

nvm should have google before this but it seems it supports it without any problems

Yes it does and they work great with adoptable storage available via ADB. Hint there's a guide on here already

what do you mean by adoptable storage?

Basically the system will recognize the card as internal storage but it's disabled in the UI hence using a pc with ADB to enable it. I have mine set up in split mode with 215gb internal and 25gb partitioned external. There are a few quirks about it, never format the external partition as it will take the internal partition with it, don't ask haha . Also the system incorrectly reports total storage not a big deal. A quick search will tell you more. :good:

Samsung was giving away a free 256GB Micro-SD cards when purchasing an S7 as a promotion a few months ago. Mine has been working just fine so far.

Woking fine without any problems.....
