Hi guys,
I'm pretty new at all this, so I'll just tell you what my problem is:
I bought an OTG cable (by eforcity) - male USB micro to female USB A, and I plugged it into my Droid X. The droid is not recognizing the thumbdrives I've tried. I'm on Android 2.3.3, system version 4.5.605, Stock, Rooted.
So, how do I do USB hosting with that cable? Do I need something more? Do I need a custom Kernel/ ROM on my device to support it?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I just plug usb end in to my pc running windows 7 and it auto detects, if that is what your asking! You might have to get the usb drivers from samsung site or google it.

When I plug my tab it, I get a "Connected as a Media Device" (or something along those lines) and my computer will automatically open/view the files on my tablet. If this doesn't happen, you can download Kies (software from Samsung to help install drivers and sync media) and that might help you.
Kies link: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
USB mass storage mode is being phased out, if your in windows this is not a problem as the default "media transfer protocol" will work just the same for transferring files (albeit only one transfer at a time)but if you really must have USB mass storage, google is your friend.

If you are asking for USB storage in tab then you should download nexus media importer from web.....
Your USB drive also should be on Fat32 format. Or tab will not know that USB drive is connected....
I know MTP is working, but my question concern the UMS (USB mass storage) protocol. After searching long time on internet, apparently, UMS will never work on tab under stock rom. Thanks but no solution.
hi,
How can I use usb otg on my Galaxy Young N with stock ROM and kernel?
ya use Y OTG bcoz galaxy y doesn't have power supply to Mount the storage device via normal OTG cable
i use a normal otg cable and a power supply and an usb hub but it does NOT WORK.
Samsing tab 3 SMT211 does not supports otg. Even after rooting it will not enable it. Because otg is both software and hardware related.
1) I believe that tab's motherboard must supply power output to otg cable in order to use Pendrive
2) Also, there should be some Driver / software to access Pendrive
So i am theorizing that if i can power my pendrive externally in someways and also install required driver in tab then i can ACCESS Pendrive in my Tab.
[Below is a picture of connecting my micro USB Pendrive to tab and powebank at the same time to power my usb ]
And i am missing the knowledge of what driver to be installed in order to use pendrive.
Please Shower me some knowledge. Am i correct. Can i Access pendrive in my Smt211 tab ??
