Hi,
I flashed my Xperia Pro MK16i with the PACman 4.1.2 ROM 19.3. But it is still unable to detect pendrives on USB OTG. I tried installing USB OTG Helper but it wouldn't detect my pendrive. I found a video on one of the links on this forum which showed copying some modules to the root. I tried that too, but didn't help. Can anybody kindly explain me the steps to follow?
Thanks!
First, try to install it on linux system. If it doesn't work there, it doesn't work on android. But if you'll find driver for, you can try to compile it for your android linux kernel.

Install what on linux?
Hi,
i assume you got the usb-storage.ko installed at /system/lib/modules...
Install Android terminal or use adb to check your kernel output by typing dmesg at the prompt.
Some USB sticks ask for too much power during enumeration.
The kernel will block the access in that case.
On the Xperia 2011 devices we are limited to 300mA maximum at the OTG port using host mode.
Quoted from the datasheet of the charger IC:
VBUS is regulated to 5V at up to 300mA to power USB OTG peripherals

I realized this several times as well.
Many cheap sticks use the default setting in their firmware and ask for 500mA, which is too much for our phones.
Hope this helps!

scholbert

You meant this? Well that's sad. It even detected the model number of my pendrive! And i'm guessing there's no workaround?
Thanks scholbert.
I'll double check on the power requirements on that pendrive and update. I want to see if it really asks for more than 300mA.

Yeah that's the message you get.
During enumeration, there's a request from host to device how much power is needed after fully initializing the hardware.
Sadly most USB stick manufacturers leave this entry in their USB memory controllers as default to 500mA,
because this is the current given in the USB spec.
In fact this is little stupid because most USB sticks do consume less than 200mA in real environment.
If you ask for a work around... then i would say: Try another stick!
If you like hacking hardware... then well yes you may tweak your stick by using factory tools and re-programm the entry which is checked during current request
You may start your search here: http://flashboot.ru/index.php?name=iflash&vord=0&pord=&pagenum=16
On a quick sight there's no real factory tool for the SM3255 available

Apart form measure the real current, you may check this with lusb -v on a Linux machine or digg deep in the Windows driver information with your stick attached.

Yes, it's working (and without wizardry of any kind).

I just used an SNES-usb adapter I got from amazon 3years ago, connected to the microUSB-USBotg adapter. The amazing thing is, it works in the system itself, you can go in the menus, navigate trough icons and all !
If only I got the HDMI adapter
is your phone rooted/running custom rom ? or just pure stock unmodified ? Mine is stock (4.0.2) and I am not sure if the USB host function is working on mine
I'm running Android Revolution HD, which is based on the stock 4.0.3 kernel but is a 4.0.2 rom. I recently installed a script for the usb host function, but I though it was only for mounting usb-key. Do you have an usb otg adapter ? if you got anything, a mouse, a small keyboard, or an xbox pad (for pc) you can try.

Yes, i have the USB OTG adapter. Tried USB and mouse but it didn't work. I thought it was meant for rooted phone but i could be wrong. Can you link to me the script you installed?
thanks
I'll be damned. I was sure it was a script (which would require you'd get an unlocked bootloader and a recovery anyway), but it's only an app : StickMount. It's quite strange, I see the notification of the app when I plug in a usb key, but not when I connect a keyboard or gaming controller.
I guess it's still better for you if you don't want to unlock your bootloader (for the warranty or something) : you just have to wait for an exploit to get root & superuser on your phone.
Sorry that doesn't work unrooted... :/
Pretty much thought that I need to root the phone to use this feature.
Thanks for sharing though.

USB host for keyboard/mouse/gamepad is fully supported in the stock 4.0.2.
If you have 4.0.2 and USB host doesn't works, it means that the cable is not a relly USB OTG cable, but a simple USB F > MicroUSB M adapter

It is the official samsung one and it has been working for everyone with root installed.
Honeycomb and ICS have native support for USB gamepads. I actually use my Nostromo game pad and it works well. You don't need root or a special OTG cable. Just need a converter from USB>MicroUSB.

You need to go to the usb connected in pull down and select usb 3.0 mode....by default the connection is in usb 2.0 mode
Not sure if it will work on mac, but that method works on pc

I would agree with you here, however, when I first got my Note 3 and connected to my MBP (same model as OP), it used to display the option, but ever since NB4 and beyond I haven't ever seen the option again.
The only thing I haven't tried, is launching Android File Transfer before plugging it in to see if that makes a difference, but I uninstalled that due to NE6 (and beyond)'s ability to show the internal and external sdcards as mount points.

after more research it apears more and more that the USB 3.0 is related to driver issues and not yet supported in OS X .... ill be setting up a bootcamp with windows 7 soon for testing but i'm almost certain its a issue with being supported under the os and not hardware...
Hi, i want to unlock the bootloader of my old Redmi note 5, but there's a problem, when I go into fastboot mode, the Xiaomi's software can't find it, even using ADB the device is impossible to find. If I turn it on normally i can find it. Why it happens?
Hey u may give this a try as based on my understanding Xiomi devices will require u to install mi flashtool on PC as it has driver installation option. Remember some times you are required to disable driver signature verification.
I recently had trouble with fastboot as well. I eventually sorted it by installing the correct drivers, from here: http://bigota.d.miui.com/tools/xiaomi_usb_driver.rar
I don't remember having to disable driver signature enforcement (usually to do this you have to use an advanced boot option as shown in Option 2 here) but maybe it happened automatically.

I installed the driver but nothing changed. I post a screenshot of the situation , as soon as i go into fastboot mode the adb can recognize the device, but after few seconds not.

Hi. I am Carlos from the philippines. I am a Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G user, and I have some issues with my unit regarding the usb debugging and my external USB suddenly it is not functioning on my phone anymore, and, even the tethering on my phone cannot also be selected for it to work. But, I can still charge my phone using my pc or charging brick, and even use the usb port for my headset. (with headset adaptor for usb type-c)
There is no problem with my pc or even my external usb, cause I have tried them on my wife's phone and the external usb and my pc can detect her phone. What could be the problem? Can anybody help me with this? Tia
I am also facing the same problem. Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro user here. OTG and USB options stopped working all of a sudden. I have created a thread here regarding the same. Some users in xiaomi europe forum have also reported the same issue. Looks like this is a hardware issue triggered by some specific setting. So far no solution.
Actually, I ordered a cheap priced charging port for Mi 10T from Shopee. It is not a original Xiaomi product but an OEM I suppose. It has not arrived yet, but, as soon as I receive it, I will go to a technician and have my stock charging port replaced. Maybe around less than month from now I will get back here and post the result. Cause, this is the last resort in finding solution to this issue...
4 days ago I had the same problem as you, I found a way to solve this error.
First you go to Settings, select All parameters, select Android version, if it is android 11, then you push the volume of android 11 up and down 3 times until it shows number 11, then plug the phone into the computer to see if it shows usb for file transfer.

Hi,
So I am running stock android unrooted.
I have managed to run Kali Linux in a emulated version on my fold called Termux.
I can work on it as I would on a PC. Many things are lacking but I installed what was lacking.
So my question is can I do the same with windows ?
I looked on playstore and couldn't find any kind of VMware for android devices.
Does anyone know of a VM like software for android ?
I would rather play my steam games on the mobile then run about playing with Aircrack.

You can try Limbo. Just found it on Github. Not sure how well it'll work.
Release Limbo Emulator 6.0.1 · limboemu/limbo
Added qemu disk cache option Added qemu hdd interfaces (tap on the disk icon) Added ignore breakpoint tb invalidation option Apply acceleration option after extra params Added option for importing ...
github.com
The Limbo Emulator would be cool assuming it works ok. My obvious concern is that the bluetooth and more importantly wifi would not function. I will be interested to hear results if anyone give it a try.
Ok I am willing to give this a try. I have installed the Limbo Emulator - but I have questions on how to create the needed windows 10 VHD file - I know I have everything I need to do it , including the windows 10 ISO file. Anyone point me to how to create a proper VHD file? I assume it needs to be bootable and all that but I have found nothing via google that I'm convinced is what I need to do.
Thanks!

Thanks. I already know about limbo but it mainly supports legacy windows. I am looking for windows 10 or 11.
I am after a ful blown windows not a version where half of the stuff don't work.
I am assuming it's too early to expect to find anything.
Sad to see that there is no development for fold 4.
Shame devs have moved away fro. Samsung devices. I remember note 3 and 4 there was a new rom daily. Them where the days indeed....

Just skimmed through the thread. Couldn't see if it needs root or can it be done rootless ?
Also if anyone has tried this for fold 4 does everything work ?
Like WiFi and Bluetooth and will the sim card work so I have Internet on the go ?
Sorry for questions but I don't have time the next couple of weeks to dig into this.
