Bought a USB male mini to USB female adapter so I could use my USB drive as external storage. Saw a tutorial on this a while ago, not sure how to do it now. I am rooted and I have purchases root explorer if it helps.

I do not know the details but look into stickmount. I've never used it but it sounds like what you need.

I can confirm that stick mount works either external storage, should work like a charm!

I am having this problem I can mount everything from my mouse to my usb. I bought an sd card adapter and put my sd card in the adapter, but didn't work. I know the adapter is not broken because I have tried it on my computer and it worked just fine

Ahh that explains it. Search ntfs in the play store and pick one you like. You need an app to mount the ntfs partition.

That's strange.. it most likely is ntfs formatted though. I'd try USB otg manager from the market. Your USB port isn't damaged at all is it?

It's not damaged at all. The weird thing my observations are that there is not enought power getting to the adaptor. When I plug the adaptor in my friends Galaxy nexus running on stock rom the light on the adaptor lights up just fine, but mine just blinks for like a fraction of a second and doesn't connect. I'm also thinking it's the rom or it needs a new kernal ???
You need to check whether the kernel you're on supports otg.

Weird.. I've only seen power with hard drives that use the USB power. Can you post the exact make model of the adapter? Also, do you have a powered USB hub you could try? As in connect hub to phone, plug adapter into hub. That way the adapter most certainly is getting the power needed.
It also might be ROM kernel related.

I have tried everything... Changed the kernal. I literally tried every single kernal. I changed the rom, from jedi mind trick to cm9 stable to koodo. I might just buy a newer one. I tired the usb hub and still not connecting. Thanks for everything btw. I am still looking into this because it's something that I think that needs to be done. Still boggles my mind that it works on the Galaxy Nexus but not that S2

While I haven't encountered any issues with sd adapters on the t989, it sounds like you're having either a power problem or that particular adapter isn't playing nice with your kit. You can rule out power by plugging you usb otg to a powered hub and testing with a high powered device (usb drive for example) and should that work, then trying the adapter. If the adapter works off the hub, it's likely a power problem. If not, the adapter hates you and loathes samsung, and wants you to by a nexus.
While not common, the adapter could be asking for a full 500ma even though it doesn't require it or is having some other isb negotiations headbutt with your gs2.
you can also try popping open a console terminal and checking what's happening under the hood. you should be able to see in the output of dmesg when you connect the adapter and what the kernel is saying about it, which will help point you in the right direction.

I always used a regular micro usb cable to transfer data from my phone to computer and vice versa. I just realized my computer has a usb 3.0 port. Do they make a micro usb 3.0 cabke so I can transfer data faster between my phone and computer?
The cable doesn't matter.
sorry the cable does matter, usb 3.0 has 5 more pins for a total of 9 on the regular usb side and 10 on the micro side... but no, usb 3.0 cannot work with our phone as we would need support and a wider micro port http://images.yourdictionary.com/images/computer/_USB3CON.GIF

USB3.0 has been out a while... I thought all smartphones would come standard, by now, certainly the N2

there is no reason... it doesn't provide extra power and its "micro" format takes up too much space... Samsung has done done headway in the matter, or phone usb ports has 11 pins, but until the usb standard supports the pinout that samsung has on our phone your computer won't be able to use the 6 extra pins. if you notice standard usb 3.0 has 5 extra pins not 6 and the shape is different than micro usb 2.0

Hi, I was wondering how to update to GB27 without using a USB cable as my micro usb port is broken. I have an sd card, so that is most likely the preferred option for me.

AFAIK, you can only do over the wire. If you need a fix, either hit me up or go to Google and look up mobiletechvideos.

Worst comes to worst, buy a MicroSD expansion for your Pc to be able to read and write to the SD.
There quite cheap if you look around.

Hopefully Razer added that, it didn't work on the Robin.
the audio dongle uses OTG, so yeah it works
