I was trying the new version of stickmount to see if I could use it to mount my ntfs drive and was trying out workarounds when I came across a post recommending the use of usb host fix. I ran the app, restarted as directed and voila! Now nothing shows up when I connect my otg cable. I've tried my fat32 hdd which was working fine and a card reader and nothing!
I'd moved from 4.1.2 to the stock german 4.3 rom on my rooted I9305 and paragon's ntfs app would no longer mount my drive so I decided I'd check to see if there was anything else I could do before wiping 900gb's of data and formatting it to fat32. Now I wish I had!
I've contacted the dev and tried chainfire's usb diagnostic app as well as usb host controller - which stated S3C usb host driver not found.
Please let me know your suggestions as I desperately need to be able to connect via my otg cable - my phone has taken the place of my netbook when i travel so that I can backup my photo's and transfer music and movies from my hdd's to the phone. I'm heading out to South America and REALLY need this function back!

I have an OTG cable, specifically for the P1000, and a simple USB stick will not mount.
I also am trying to mount a USB 3 drive, so not sure if that won't work because of drivers or lack-thereof.
I have a y-cable for the USB 3 drive, and it still will not mount.
I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 running Android 4.2.2
Any suggestions?

Me too have same problem....
So I've installed Mackay ROM 2.91 of kasper_h. It works like a bliss ( i'm new so I cannot post in development section ) till some time.
When I plugged in usb cable to my mobile and pc it showed on P970 to mountSDcard and then it popped in on my pc BUT later on it failed to do so. Now I can only mount my SDcard via card adapter or in recovery mode it shows removable disk but do not open it but if I press mount USB mass storage device it open my sdCard on my pc))
SO WHAT THE HELL, why isn't it mounting while using my phone in normal way, connected to PC? but only in recovery lol...
Anyone got the very same issue?
I've found androidforums. com /desire-tips-tricks/365476-guide-usb-brick-fix. html but do not know if it is good solution for it and even if I do not understand it at all>.>.
Go to settings/storage, press menu and select USB connection. There are 3 diferent types, mtp, camera and mass storage. Try the others.
i cant connect to my hard disk with touchpad. İ have otg cable but it doesnt see my hard disk . please help . i want to see hard disk with my hp touchpad
You will need to connect to a PC to transfer files. I've never heard of connecting a drive directly. I don't think the USB port is powered!

A. Don't use an otg cable, use a standard micro usb
B. In order to have the PC recognize the TP, you have to Novacom usb drivers installed
C. You can connect many usb devices, including hard disks, but you may need a powered usb hub since the TP doesn't provide enough power to drive many of them

Yup. It makes perfect sense.
Hello guys
Recently i had to connect a USB drive ( Kingston 8GB pen drive) to my phone ( Xperia Z3C) but nothing happend. So i said "hmm maybe there sth wrong with my phone" so i tried to mount it on my Xperia Z Ultra, but again nothing was mounted. The pen drive was NOT mounted as it should and I also coudnt do it manually from the Settings( because the options "Mount and Unmout" were grayed out). This is pretty weird. I used to plug in pen drives, external HDDs all the time back when i was on KitKat. But i havent tried to do it since updating to Lolipop .... till now. I searched so long for an answer but i coudnt find anything Confirmed so i decided to ask you guys
My question is : What is the reason for not being able to mount USB drives anymore ? Is it the android version (Lolipop) or Im missing sth ?
Facts :
- i have an OTG cable ( even 4 of them, they are all in perfectly working condition)
- my USB drive is completely fine ( i tried with 4 other flash drives with the same result - not being able to mount them)
- my phone(Z3C) and phablet(XZU) are working perfectly and rooted with latest firmwares. I used to plug in USB sticks all the time back when i was on KitKat.
Help me understand what's happening pls
Are these stock roms on your devices, or are they custom roms? lots of custom roms debloat the software that's installed, sometimes removing the bigger packages not used so often.
Presumably you can see the file structure on the phone/tablet when you hook it up to a PC? so the lead and USB libs are working.
The only other thing I can think of is that NTFS might not be supported in Lolipop, have you tried formatting one of the drives in FAT?
all roms i have are stock
my USB sticks are all FAT32, my external HDD is in NTFS. Neither work.
Yes i can see all files on my phone/phablet through the PC when i hook it up.
I have a n920p and recently ended up in bootloop after trying to install Xposed framework. I do not have a rom back up saved on my internal storage. I can only go to TWRP and Download mode.
When I plug into my PC it reads the "USB device not recognized". I have the Samsung drivers installed.
I also purchased a USB OTG drive and attempted to use it in TWRP, but when I try to select the USB it reads "0 MB".
In summary, I have no working rom/OS, I cannot connect to my PC with the USB, and I haven't been able to access the USB OTG.
I am at a loss. I apologize in advance if this is elsewhere. I have searched xda and google and cannot find direction.
