Hey all, I am using jackpotclavins latest build on my rooted kindle fire. Everything is great and I know ICS lost usb mass storage support, so there is apps on the market to do so. one that everyone uses is USB mass storage toggle, Its even on my droidx with ics. Now this app in older versions will mount but it will mount an unknown file system and it will want me to format it. The newer version does it sometimes. I was wonder if it had to do with the kindle fire having multiple partitions on one memory card? tried to post this to the ics thread in developer sforum but i have less than 10 post.
i can't answer your question specifically with respect to usb mass storage toggle, however i'm using an app called dual mount sd ($0.99 on the market) and it's working beautifully for me with the latest ICS build.
Been using the AoKP with kernel 6 for a few days and of course don't have USB but I usually transfer over WIFI anyway (that works fine).
Anytime I must use USB I just boot into recovery, mount, do my thing, then unmount and reboot.
Works fine in a pinch.
Hi all and seasons greetings.
I upgraded my Transformer 101 and Nexus7 to the latest version 4.2, after doing so both machines failed to recognise or read my hard drive. This drive is a samsung 1 TB usb 2 model and has always worked up until this version of android, it is not just Paranoid, I have tried various 4.2 Roms with the same result.
I also tried reformatting the hard drive to exfat with the same result. Third party apps eg. stickmount recognise and mount the drive but it cannot be read.
I have reverted to 4.1.2 and the drive is working okay.
Any idea of a work around for this problem.
Thanks Jim

[PARTIALLY SOLVED]
Description of the issue: when I insert an USB drive at any of the USB dock ports, the drive is not mounted.
Conditions of the tests:
Asus Transformer TF101G
ROM: Katkit 4.3_0.19.zip
Kernel: Katkernel_106b_JB4.3_Lidpatch.zip
Gapps version: gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b.zip
- I followed the exact procedure listed for flashing.
- Issue reproduced right after flashing and before restoring anything.
- I have not found any specific reference at the known issues.
- I have used a 256MB, 1GB & 16GB USB drives (all FAT32) and the drives have been tested on other devices to be sure they are working properly.
- Additionally I have observed the following: (when the USB drive is plugged in)
I selected: Settings --> storage --> external devices
It shows the option "USB device 1" --> "Activate SD Card" activated, however nothing happens; the USB drive is not mounted even after clicking on it.
I am not sure if I have missed anything, if so, please let me know it.
Any idea/suggestion about what can be the problem?
Kind regards,
PD. My external Mini SD Card (32GB) when inserted in the SD Card slot is working fine.
--------------------------------------
Attached files: (in one .zip file)
Dmesg, top, lc : obtained before connecting the USB drive.
Dmesg1, top1 y lc1: obtained after connecting the USB drive.
Dmesg2, top2 y lc2: obtained after click at "Activate SD Card".
What was on your TF101 prior to flashing KatKiss 4.3/19? Did you do a full wipe if coming from a different ROM? Did you wipe system if coming from an older KatKiss?
I have tried multiple USB (even with all slots filled: 2 USB, 1 SD Card, 1 MicroSD) and they have mounted on my TF101 with KKbuild19 and 20.

Sorry, I forgot to add such information. Thanks for your help.
Before 4.3/19 I had 4.3/16 which was giving also the same problem. I did a Format /system as indicated in the instrutions (no full wipe / factory reset).
I flashed gapps again and wiped as indicated.
Micro SD is not problem at all. It is just USB drive inserted in any of the USB slots of the dock or in the tablet with the Asus USB adaptor.
Try just flashing the ROM and not the 106b kernel. The kernel included with build 019 is a rurally 106e. The extra letter does not show in settings. See if that works better.

First of all, thanks for your reply.
Please, forgive me if my comments sound silly.
When I flashed the build 019 I did NOT flashed the kernel.
I flashed the kernel when I flashed build 016. I though that flashing the ROM only was not overwriting the kernel.
I understand from you reply that flashing the ROM will overwrite the kernel.
If that is the case, then my current kernel is the one included with build 019.
I wonder if it is possible to confirm it?

You can always wipe the system partition. This will ensure the old kernel is gone. Then flash the ROM and GAPPS.

:crying:
I did a full re-install of the ROM. I followed this steps:
- Backup everything
- Go to recovery
- Make a full wipe / factory reset
- Format /system
- Flash the ROM (4.3 #019)
- Flash the gapps
- Wipe cache / dalvik
- Reboot
After Reboot I ONLY set up my WIFI and my google account.
I tried inserting USB drives (1GB, 2GB FAT32) but none of them was mount.
I inserted a Mini SD Card and it was mount without problem.
I'm attaching the LOG files (lc1, dmesg1, top1) just in case anyone could see anything related with the problem.
Apparently the USB device is recognize but it is not mounted for any reason. (See dmesg1)
I am running out of ideas what can be the problem.
Regards,
At this point, it seems you've done all you can to get the OS to a known baseline. Since it's not working, you might be forced to try a external USB mount application as per Timduru's tip's page:
http://public.timduru.org/Android/tf101/KatKiss/4.3/#tips
Code:
- Certain NTFS disk won't automount: might be dependant on the formatting and/or partitionning ?
=> workaround: try a 3rd party app to mount it: USB OTG Helper, paragon ntfs or the K.A.T app.
Despite his mentioning it mostly for NTFS formatted devices, this might still apply to you.

:cyclops:
I have partially found a way to mount the USB external drives.
I installed USB OTG Helper (Free version). I plan to test the paid version for obtaining some debugging info.
I was able to mount ONE USB drive (If one USB drive was mounted I could not mount a second USB drive at the other USB port).
It worked with 256MB, 2GB, 8GB USB drives, however it did not worked for 16GB USB drive.
The mounting point was:
/storage/Usb0tgDrives/drive_1
It did not worked with K.A.T. and I have not tried with paragon ntfs yet.

Additional info:
I have tried "StickMount" and it worked really fine. :good:
It made possible to mount two USB drives (one at each USB port) without problem.
Mounting point:
/data/media/0/usbStorage/sda
/data/media/0/usbStorage/sdb
I will report if I test anything else.

Anyone get OTG to work with CyanogenMod11 builds yet on Nexus5? When I plug a OTG card reader that I have in, it shows up and works in TWRP fine however it doesn't seem to want to auto mount it in CM11. There's a few apps out there that I tried that work (OTG explorer, etc), however I'd like full system access if possible. Have not tried with stock Google firmware.
Hi, I'm using PA 4.4 RC1 with ElementalX kernel, and I can't get to work my two USB 3.0 pendrives with NTFS filesystem (exFAT doesn't work too). FAT natively works fine, so this isn't cable or pendrives fault. StickMount gives me an error "The service is busy - try again in a few seconds", when clicking Mount or Unmount. Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ and USB OTG Helper doesn't works too
Logs of StickMount: pastebin. com/z1kuD8nD
Logs of Paragon: pastebin. com/acdgaiFy
For USB OTG Helper I can't find any logs, and Debug info gives an error "Debug data collection failed".
So is there possibility to get it working, preferably without any additional apps?
Note; I'm using builtin SuperUser, which comes with PA, and I would like to not change it.
And sorry for my bad English :laugh:
Even I'm using ElementalX and all the three file systems which you've mentioned work fine here. However, I've seen many people who have a problem of their NTFS formatted drives not getting detected. I guess it's just the way it is!
Ntfs is spotty on a devices that use otg. I had no issue getting my 1tb external attached to my phone and nexus 7 without issue.

cm11 suports ntfs read and write out of the box, it also supports exfat. I managed to implememt this feature to my aosp rom. You can try to do the same with paranoid android. I can help you with the rom building. Contact me via e-mail if you are intrested: [email protected]
