Hello guys.
Sorry if this is a repost. I am planning to buy a USB OTG adapter from MHL and was wondering if this works with stock rom. I don't want to flash a custom kernel right now.
I am on 4.0.2, everything stock not even rooted. Please help me.

With 4.0.2 stock you can only use input USB devices like keyboard, mouse and gamepad.
For pen-drive or hard disk support you need:
- 4.0.2, custom kernel with OTG memory mass support
OR
- 4.0.3 with root
thanks buddy
Maybe I will wait till google releases 4.0.4 update and then buy it

Not true at all.
USB host works fine on 4.0.2 with the stock kernel. You just need to install Chainfire's StickMount app. I have a USB OTG cable and it works fine with a 32GB memory stick.

Hi All,
I've a htc one x (no root & no custom ROM). And I've still don't received JB update.
I want to use otg on my mobile, but not responding. The official JB update will be able to connect OTG to my one x?
or did i need to root my one x? or change to a custom rom? or both of them?
and if i need to root, can i stay to stock version?
and finally, if i need to do whatever of thoes thing, can you please give me all details and links of where to do that and how.
thanks. will give thanks.
You need the JB update.. you can wait for the official update or unlock your phone and install the custome/leaked update..

I just got the HTC one x, I need to know how to use the otg cable that I just got I'm not familiar withball the tech talk so if you could please explain in simple step by step direction that would be great. Thanks in advance.
Plug the little end of the OTG cable into the OneX, then plug your USB device into the big end of the OTG cable. Order of connection doesn't matter.
Hi,
Do you need an extaernal power source for this to work or can I just plug in a memory stick and thats it?

I have a USB OTG cable and i don't need an external power source. The phones battery powers everything. Just plug and play. I use Astro file manager to view contents in the USB. Any music or photos stored in it automatically show up in the music player and gallery.
Im a Noob to the site and cant seem to find anyone with my same problem.
I plug in my USB OTG cable and the phone does not show that the usb drive is connected.
I have tried a 2.0 4gb flash drive and a 3.0 32gb flash drive and none of them work.
I have not had this problem with the Stock Rom.
My friend has a stock rom Galaxy s4 and it works with no problem for him.
Please Help Me Out Here. I have looked through lots of Forums and cant find a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

Elemental kernel added ps3 controller support, dont know if there are any kernels that fix the mount problems. or if anyone else has it working. i have tried it on google play, viper rom and stock. with no luck
Any solution yet?

I am having this same problem, but only after I unlocked the boot loader and rooted my M8. I can get the phone to at least recognize one of my USB thumb drives, but it's a 32gb capacity and the phone sees it as less than 200mb. Any help would be most appreciated!
Try to connect first the thumb drive to the otg adapter, and only then connect it to the phone.
It should be mounted to storage/usb.
I use es explorer.

One of my coworkers has a stock SM-T210R that does not see the OTG cable or USB storage. He has come to me wanting to root the device so he can try stickmount. Before I do this, can anyone confirm that stickmount does work on the stock ROM or any other ROM?
Hi all. Is there a way i can mount my usb thumb drive? I had it working on my old nexus 5 but really need it on my g4. Currently running stock MM (will be rooted tomorrow/bootloader locked)
