Hey guys, I'm just about to get the Note 2, and i was wondering if it supports mounting NTFS flash drives, either through the stock rom/kernel, or with root + applications such as NTFS Mounter, StickMount, Paragon, etc.
It would be great if someone could check this for me
bump
Try this. It works great at first Note.

So far the only solution I've found is a custom kernel and only for the international version...any thoughts for those of us with AT&T?
I believe it does take a custom kernal. We'll just have to be patient on a kernal dev to implement it. I noticed on Ktoonsez's kernal I was able to mount my ntfs thumbdrive and see the files. I didn't try copying any files from it to my phone but that should work. I was unable to play the music files on my thumb drive though and although I haven't tried it, I assume I wouldn't be able to write to it as well.
I installed NTFS Mounter and StickMount and between the two, have been able to mount NTFS flash drives using the rooted stock AT&T ROM with stock kernel.

Interesting - I'm skeptical of apps with so few reviews though! NTFS Mounter also does not list the S3 as compatible but good to hear that it's working for you.
Is StickMount necessary? Mine seems to auto mount FAT32 just fine.
FYI guys our stock Note 10.1 2014s have native support for USB HDDs via On the Go (OTG) cables. However, the drive cannot be NTFS: I tried a couple of different OTG cables, a powered USB hub for powering the HDD, etc, on my NTFS (a 2 TByte Passport) without luck.
I then quick-formatted the Passport to FAT and BAM everything worked perfectly: the USB device was recognized and the native "My Files" app auto-opened to display the contents of the HDD (i.e. an app like "Nexus Media Importer", which I used on my N10, is unnecessary)
Very impressive. I am diggin this tablet more and more...

Hi
The problem is the Kernel of the P605. On my Galaxy S4 i´ve solved the problem with the installation of a "hacker kernel v7 leak". Now it can read an write NTFS devices.
But for the Note i cant find a other kernel yet :crying:
Rooted users should try OTG Helper ... that seems to do the trick for NTFS.
If this is the case I think I will order a OTG cable right now
@Zumajay So basicallyallI have to do is turn my WD Passport into FAT and it will work via OTG?

yes, any massive storage with fat32 format, can be read with this tablet, just remember that fat32 has a file size limit of 4gb

not exactl...
you need the ntfs file system drivers inside the kernel in order to read nfts hdd format
I originally tried all of the NTFS mounting apps and none of them worked. Just formatted my HDD's to exFat then there is no 4gb file limit and all works fine.

Also having root does not help.
The problem is SELinux in Enforcing mode, it blocks all the programs that try to modify System partition by installing, in this case, the NTFS drivers.
Until someone will make a P605 kernel with SELinux in permissive mode, there is no way to manage an NTFS partitioned usb drive.
No more news about samsung note 10 ed. 2014 and solution for ntfs?

Didn't think the P600 can run an external hard drive.
Tried just now with stock rom and Xluco kernel, that one's modded to support NTFS filesystem, but I haven't managed to get any externals to respond to the device.
-plugged in a small pendrive to test, and it reads the device.
-plugged in an external drive and nothing happens
-then installed the USB OTG Helper app, doesn't do anything either, says it didn't found any external to mount.
-rebooted the Note with the hard drive plugged in, nothing happened too.
-possible power supply problem, where the device didn't have enough energy to power an external device?
The guys above probably have the P605 model, the Snapdragon one, and formatted their drive to something other than NTFS, something that I can't afford to do lol. Yeah, the processor can be relevant too, because the Snapdragon Note 4 can detect and use a 512gb SD card (not microSD), whereas the Exynos version is limited to 64gb only, if I remember correctly.
Has anyone got NTFS mounting to work, specifically from an OTG adapter and external hard drive? I see an old thread about NTFS mount, but the search function is broken on XDA (when clicking on a search result, it just takes you to the front forums page, not the actual thread you clicked on), so I can't read it.
I tried Paragon NTFS+, which works with my hard drive drive & OTG adapter when using my LG G2, but on my Note it fails to mount. Paragon doesn't give an error message, it just tries to mount for a few seconds then does nothing. I also tried NTFS Mounter, which crashes when trying to mount.
I ended up using Wireless File Transfer Pro to transfer a large file because MTP is broken on my laptop with all devices. I've tried everything under the sun to fix MTP, but it's just broken until I reimage this machine.
FWIW, I'm using CleanROM 1.5.

There are a couple NTFS Mount apps on the Play Store, none of them are working as of yet though.
When trying to mount using ntfs-3g and fuse.ko by hand, ntfs-3g stops with some sort of permission error.
My guess is it doesn't work with SELinux on Enforcing yet.

USB Plugin for total commander works.. It's a paid app but it works... Only thing though, you need to Total Commander as the File manager. It will also copy a file, temporarily, to the tablet. But it does read the NTFS 1.5Tb drive I plug in....
Ext HDD + OTG + NTFS
If you want your SM-P600 to mount and read NTFS formatted Hard drives you will nee to install the kernel shown here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2615959
After you do that you can install Paragon or USB OTG helper,the hard drive should be mounted and your tablet should be able to show the files on it if you use ES file explorer

Anything for sm-p605?
I researched for ways to make 10.1 14 read any external HD with NTFS format thru OTG.
Found a couple of ways, tried and it still show me empty folder.
Tried both Stickmount and [root]Ntfs Mounter and both doesn't work. It tried both of them with my 3 HDD (256 GB SSD, 1TB and 2TB WD Passport).
I was hoping to connect it without having to reformat any of the disk to ExFAT or FAT32.
Is there any method that's working yet
Really appreciate the help. TIA.

Hi,
There is only one working solution as I know.
You have to install TotalCommander and then also the relate USB plug-in.
The only limit is that for NTFS is read-only.
For all the other programs you find on the store for OTG management, are not working because of the restrictions made by SELinux in enforcing mode.
To solve this, you have to find a working custom kernel that sets SELinux in Permissive mode. But as far as I know there is nothing for sm-p605.

Thanks for the response. So that's why everything that I'm trying just tells me its mounted but doesnt show me anything.
I was hoping to use it as OTG storage so read-only seems pointless at this moment.
I guess we wait right Thanks again sir!

AFAIK, bindroid kernel is coming with NTFS support, limited to SM-P600 and SM-P601.
Since about two days there's a new version of Stickmount, which will during the first run download additional stuff to enhance compatibility. I would suspect an Ntfs driver.
without ntfs drivers in kernel, you cannot read ntfs format...
Hello,
I just bought an ohg cable and tried to connect some usb drives to it. FAT storages are working fine, but i cannot mount ntfs drives. I tried tools like "Paragon NTFS & HFS mount", but it seems that the system itself unmounts (USB Safely Remove) the storage automatically, before these tools can mount them. How can i stop the system to behave like that? Phone is a T-Mobile (DE) One M8 on KitKat 4.4.4 (root access).
Thank you in advance.

You could stop it by going FAT32.
Just sayin.....
Why is NTFS so important to you?
Is it just because it's new?
Use what works. Problem solved.
FAT32 doesn't support files larger then 4 GB.
