[Q] Make OTG drive bootable - General Questions and Answers

I do not have access to a computer at the moment. I need to make a bootable ubuntu iso to fix my laptop. I have the iso downloaded on my galaxy note 3. I can put this on a usb hard drive via a OTG cable. I need to make the hard drive bootable using only my phone. I am not rooted and I am using lollypop. Thanks for looking.

No reply. I suppose this must not be possible.

LG PC Suite IV

Anyone gotten the PC suite to work?
I have installed from the internal memory. I cannot get the PC Suite to connect to my phone in any way. Bluetooth fails and with cable also.
What am I missing? All drivers seemed to install correctly. The software also.
Running windows 7.
Try on XP. I've read it's not compatible with W7.

Hi raskall!
I installed it (also the USB driver), and it is working well. I have Win7 64bit. To make it work, you have to disable the "Mass storage only" option in the SD card & phone storage setting menu. After you plugged the phone you have to see a green Droid (sync mode), instead of a yellow one.
You activated the USB Depuration option, aren't you?

Cm9 on a bad USB port.

Hey everyone....I've posted many times about my infuse USB port not working to sync to my computer....so my question is this...I'm running cm7 loving it...can I put the cm9 zip on my external SD card through a card reader and flash it on my phone? Is it possible and what steps do I need to do? I would love cm9 or other roms for that matter but its not life and death.

No, it has to be on the intr sd...not the ext sd...but why can't you copy it from the ext to the inter from with in your phone?
I copy files all the time to/from my ext to inter sd....
But if you need to return to stock...
I would also put zen tool on there also to back your ROM...
Make sure you have all needed on your phone and copied over to your intr sd.....
Since yore USB is not working? Is it a hardware issue?

Yes its apparently a hardware issue and pretty common I guess on these phones.....just stopped connecting to the computer. It charges but I can't sync.

Try a different usb cable, different usb port, make sure the drivers are installed, enable usb debugging?
Did you select mass storage mode?

Hey There,
We had the same issue with many units and solved all by doing the following:
-Flashing the unit back to stock
-Performing a factory data reset after flashing(This is a must)

ES File Explorer?
In settings change root directory to /. If it is mounted correctly I guess you should see a folder for the USB stick.
And my usb has no power host....
Im connecting flash drive directly using micro-male to usb-female cable....
And Is there any possibility for usb stick mounting if i upgrade to ics?

you can mount usb stick if you have lapdock.
otherwise your usb isnt powered and will not be able to.
lapdock can even power external hard drive and handle ntfs with an app.
any file explorer will read it, but you need power. buy a powered hub and use that, it should work

i mean i given a bypass charge to the cable and now which app should i use to make my flash drive seen in my file explorer
If I'm not mistaken, 2.3.x Gingerbread does not have USB Host support built in. That's a function they added into Honeycomb, and is now in Ice Cream Sandwich.

[Q] Boot loop trouble. Tried several ideas.

Figured it out thanks!
Can't you mount storage in TWRP and move the ROM across from the PC?

I've never done that before. How exactly do you go about doing that?
Thanks. I figured it out. Put zip on phone, wiped, flash boot, flash rom. Thanks again.
Just boot into recovery (TWRP), go to mount (which may be under the advanced tab) and mount external storage. Now connect your phone to your PC via usb cable and it should pop up as a removable drive. Copy the ROM from your PC and paste to your phone. Un-mount your storage, disconnect from PC, and you should be good to go.
