I think only upto 500 gb are allowed.
Try formating it to fat32 if still can't mount then try exfat.

I managed to get a Western Digital 1TB hard drive working. If you're gonna get one make sure it's usb3.0 capable and also by default the stock Rom doesn't recognize an NTFS file system so in order to make your phone read it you'll need to download Paragon+ NTFS app from the Playstore, also your device will need to be rooted. Otherwise, you'll have to reformat your hdd to fat32 or extfat if you do not want to root.

[Q] usb otg thumb drive = no internal storage

try using a different flash drive and see if the problem persists. if it does try to reboot. if it still persists reinstall the app.
Allready tried all that, only thing I can think of is it cyanogen

well if you really want to use it that bad, you can go back to stock and see if it works...

[Q] Only 256 MB thumb drive works

I cannot use my external hd, Or my two thumb drives (4 gb & 16 gb). Booted up with everything already plugged in. It says sda, sda1 created and so forth, but nothing is in the folders when I open them... unless I try my 256 MB thumb drive which works just fine. I just can't figure out what step I'm missing. Wireless mouse and keyboard work good.

Wasted Space

i'm not sure, one thing i know is that you could add 16gb to your phone by upgrading that sdcard
*edit* they only run 20 dollars or so on ebay, i have one for my phone and ive never even had to worry about space for a second
*2ndedit* and you could still use that 16gb card to hold all your backups and custom roms etc
stock ics(liquid nitro)
looks more reasonable and the partition sizes are different(smaller /system larger /data)?
is this caused by different unbrick method/kdz?
interesting let me check mine and ill report back
too lazy for screenshot but here is mine:
cm10.0.0
/data 410mb / 1800mb
/system 373mb/ 826mb
/cache 75mb/ 315mb
personally i dont mind having extra space here , but i could see how some people would want to optimize theirs. cheers guys good luck.

Looking for some help reviving an old HTC Desire

Hi.
I have hunted all over the forums but so many of the links are completely dead I am struggling.
The device has no OS at all on it, it reboots straight in to the Bootloader.
I have tried in OS X and Windows 10 using Terminal / CMD to try and get this working but to no avail, I can get the SD card to mount as a USB device however.
Got Gparted working in Parallels, tried to follow a tutorial for formatting it correctly (got an 8gb card) but doesn't look right.
I'd like this to take the newest OS possible, I saw in another thread it could take Android 5 potentially.
I have attached two images.
Thanks,
Dan.

Good ROM and Kernel for USB C hub with Power Delivery

Looking to use my old 5T as an emby server with an external hard drive, it was stock till like 30 min ago, as my research points that the stock kernel prevents them to have USB Storage + charging at the same time. Currently looking for a good ROM + Kernel to be able to this.
To summarize, I need to use a USB C Hub 7 in 1 (I only really need 1 USB A + Charging), this is not working with the phone as stock (not sure if it will be working once I add another ROM + Kernel)
For reference, the hub works with my 7T and Lenovo X1 as intended. It works on the 5T only either charging the phone, or using the storage, not both.
