Sensation XL < SGN

Afternoon all
I've bit the buillet and finally picked up a SGN and I must admit im blown away
I do have 1 niggly little issue though, I cant seem to get the damn MTP to work on my Office PC (XP 32bit waaaay underpowered) and all for the sake of getting a ROM on there
Managed to use the Gnex tools to Unlock the BL, root and Flash CWM but I cant seem to copy any files over to the "SD Card" keeps bringing up and error saying;
{
"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"
}
when it tries to install the MTP drivers, regardless of USB Debugging being enabled or disabled
and I cant mount the USB in CWM either, brings up an error like 'e:Unable to opem UMS lunfile (No such file or directory)'
Having had a poke around I cant seem to find a solid 'yes do this' or 'No your boned'
any help is muchos appreciato!

This is because the Galaxy Nexus doesn't support UMS mode anymore, since it no longer has a partition exclusively for media, so it can't mount it. MTP or PTP is what is used to transfer files via usb now.
Try see if there's any 3rd party programs that let you use MTP, Google provided one for download for linux and mac iirc.
If your PC doesn't support MTP try Airdroid from the market. It gives you access to your phone over a wifi connection using your browser.

Dang! Looks like (since this PC is naff) Ill be transfering the .zips to my SGN tonight on my Mac, ah well it be rite lol
Thank You!

I was able to plug and play on my XP machine.
Also, cwr doesn't support mounting yet on the gnexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Wifi Explorer is nice too. That's what I use to transfer between devices.

host mode and power Supply - help!

I Have:
Cyanogenmod 7.1 rom
Kernel: 2.6.37 cyanogen 7.x Kernel Patched with USB Host (from here)
Desire GSM phone
OTG cable
USB Y cable (to male and one female) - picture in attachment
And two problems!
The FIRST problem
This kernel enable host mode, when load command in terminal.
I typed command but, I have error:
{
"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"
}
I searching dev/bock but there is no sda1 or sdxx..
The SECOND problem
Maybe I have problem with power supply?
I tried to attach in computer port, usb flash drive lighting and copmuter recognize and open..
And I tried to attach to usb charger and nothing happen. Flash doesn't light...
Any help please!

This looks to me as if you connected the cable wrong... usually the male connector with the two cables coming out is the one for data and the other one is the one for the power.
Try connecting your USB to Micro USB cable to the other male connector...
To be sure the cable is working correctly, try connecting the drive via your y-cable to a computer. That way it's easier to find out wether you are using the correct plugs. Also in this case, don't plug in the second male cable, b/c the computer USB port should already give you enough power.

Finaly works!
Yes, you were right. I reverse usb male connection devices.
I loaded kernels again, but there is no sda in block folder.
So I used USB host controller app, and mount usb from here and works.
Picture in attachment.
But I don't know where is the path to my sda?
On this picture says sda4?
I tried this
HTML:
mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda4 /mnt/sdcard/mnt/
but have same error - no such file or directory

Ok, the first question sloved (almost)
Another question:
Where I can get power supply, maybe usb battery to give a power to flash drive?
I don't want a adapter or charger, I need portable usb power battery for traveling.
Anybody have idea where I get this?

[Q] JB Update Giving me Forced CD Drive

I updated today to JB CID_044 Android Revolution HD 15.0. And now when ever I plug my phone into the computer I get 2 connected devices.
Portable Device 'EndeavorU' which I understand is the new mounting method
and
CD Drive 'HTC Sync Manager'
It is this one that has me confused. When I open it it contains many files that are for the new HTC Sync Manager, plus drivers, install files etc etc.
Why? and for what? I don't want HTC sync manager and I certainly don't want a reserved drive for the install files. I have not read about this anywhere else, so can someone please shed some light on it for me and how to get rid of it.
BTW I did install HTC sync manager recently but quickly uninstalled it!
Thanks in advance

They have done away with usb mass storage in JB and gone to MTP storage. A decent work around is to mount with CWM recovery or TWRP recovery
Also this has been discussed before mate

I understand that, I just don't understand the CD DRIVE business. The MTP works fine as a drive solution it comes up as a portable device that I can transfer files to with no problem. What I am saying is I get 2 a CD drive and a portable device

[Q] OTG not working - Cable or Software Issue??

I'm very new to all of this and am not sure what I am doing wrong. I can't get my USB hosting to work. I have run USB Hosting Diagnostics and have included screen shots of what it says. If I'm reading it right, it is supported, but the Android API (Cyanogenmod 10.0?) isn't recognizing it. How do I fix this, is it a faulty cable or a software issue?

as you are using cyanogen mod, it does not include any app to automatically mount the usb otg device. So the best way to overcome this is to install an app like stick mount from the play store, which can automatically mount your usb device,. Also note that NTFS file system is not fully supported, so make sure that the device you are trying to connect has a fat32 file system...

I tried stick mount and it also didn't work. I would like to be able to use a thumb drive, but the main purpose is to connect my OBD 2 USB to the Torque Pro app. I've tried to connect a mouse, a thumb drive, and the OBD 2 adapter. I've tried using StickMount and USB OTG Helper. Nothing has worked. Any thoughts?

Hey there, sorry for the late reply,, I have installed AOKP JB MR3 on my device and all works well. I tried using mouse and a USB stick today, and it works well.
So first make sure that the OTG adapter is not faulty (try using it on some other device).
If the OTG adapter is okay, try changing your ROM. Some builds of CM ROM have bugs some time, especially if you are using a nightly release (Just backup everything and flash the latest official AOKP ROM. See if it works there).
Try changing the kernel if you are not in the mood (read feeling too lazy) to change ROMs. Your current kernel dev might not have implemented the USB Host module properly and this can also result in a non-functional OTG device.

[Q] How to mount WD Elements?

Hi,
I have StickMount app to mount USB drives to my flo.

But I need kernel with kexec-hardboot patch for MultiRom.
Thank you.

Are you using a powered USB hub? The Nexus probably doesn't put out enough juice to power a hard drive.

It is possible...
I use only ordinary OTG cable...
So I will try to search some powered OTG cable...

Thank you again @meekrawb
I bought this:

And now is working, but it would be better if it will work without power.

poor nexus 7 cannot provide that amount of juice for ext HDs

I have the same HDD and it works fine. I installed the ElementalX kernel, which provides NTFS support, and used Paragon NTFS to mount the HDD (available on the play store). I have a different problem myself: As soon as the device is locked, whatever is being streamed/accessed from the HDD is no longer accessible and the HDD has to be disconnected, reconnected and remounted.
