Stickmount not working in v4.3

Anyone else try stickmount to mount their USB device?
I know its not my cable nor the flash drive. They both work in my Original Nexus 7 and I can mount the drive in the TRWP recovery in the Nexus 7 2013.
I also know I am rooted because I have Root Manager installed and it was Granted root permission. Same with ES FIle Explorer 3.

Stick mount works for me on 4.3. I just mounted a flash drive.
It created a usbStorage partition in the root of the internal storage(SD card).
I then used root explorer to navigate to the usb storage folder and voila, my flash drive and all its contents are accessible from my Nexus 7(2013)

Thats good to know then I am wondering why mine is not working? I wonder if maybe I am not rooted correctly. Is there an app that can check that I am rooted correctly?
I actually have tried other mounters as well and none of them are working to so must be something with the root?
EDITED:
I tried a fresh flash drive and it now shows up but my concern is why does that flash work on the original N7 and not on the N7 2013?
Could it be TWRP backups on the drive some device specific protection?

Both flash drives are Def Fat32!!. This is just too weird. The New and Old flash drives work on the original N7, but the old one I used on the Original N7 just will not work on the N7 2013, only the new one. I even did a re-format.
Both Flash drives are Kingston DataTraveler G3 8GB.

Have you tried the one that doesn't work on your old N7 recently, or on a computer to make sure it still works? Probably a stupid question but I figured I'd ask haha

It works on Mac and PC. Just totally lost on this. Maybe the firmware version on this Flash Drive is not compatible with the N7 2013 hardware/kernel.

With nexus media importer there are problems too, I guess they must update the apps to work on 4.3, something has changed.

Mine is not working either on my Nexus 7 2013, but works fine on the original N7. Just shows an empty folder when navigating with ES File Explorer

Maybe ppl can comment on their root methods here to see what works and what doesn't.

I just tried it again to make sure it is still working after I've gotten a few updates, and it works fine for me. Just started playing a video off a NTFS format sdcard with MX Player and it worked fine.
I'm using stock rom and am rooted with TWRP recovery and Super SU.

i just copied a 6gb mkv video onto my thumbdrive and mount with stickmount. it mounted ok but in my file explorer, there is no file despite me navigating to the correct folder.
any help here guys?

How are you formatted? It can't be FAT32 or you couldn't get a 6Gb file on it. I don't think NTFS works without some add-on support.

i'm using NTFS format because FAT32 like you say cant allow me to dump a 6gb inside. What type of addons is required?

same issue
I am having the same issue, rooted with cwm and superSU, lexar 32 gig thumbdrive, 2 .mkv files on it, nothing shows in es file explorer or file manager hd. anyone figure aything out? I messed around for a couple of hours with no luck so far.

I have a rooted device running JSS15R and have a problem with OTG Helper. When I plug in the drive, it opens OTG Helper but I can't mount the drive. It just says no drives found. Tried two different flash drives, both FAT32 and both working on my PC.

fixed my issue

fixed it. Needed the ntfs3g script from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1145436&stc=1&d=1340293802 added to the root of the sdcard for stickmount to read the ntfs files. should have read the whole description on the play store for stickmount.
don't remember having to do that for my 1st gen nexus 7 but, then again, i do drink a lot of beer sometimes...

I've been using usbotghelper. seems to be the only app that can mount my ext3 harddrive which I have connected to the ouya in a 4 bay enclosure.

Same here, I disable automount hdd by Ouya and enable automount with Usb otg helper (ntfs)

[Q] Cannot mount SD Card via USB OTG and stickmount (root) - works on Galaxy S2

Hi,
I recently bought a USB OTG cable and an "Integral USB 2.0 Single Slot SD Reader " so that I could use my Nexus 7 to view photos from my camera.
At first I tried using Nexus Media Importer to view files on the device, but this did not work. I have successfully been able to use this application to mount a USB thumb drive via the USB OTG cable.
I then rooted the device and installed stickmount. This did not seem to work either and there were no signs that the device was recognised by the tablet (the red light did not come on). I configured stickmount in SuperSU so that it has root access. I did not copy any data or apps back onto the device after unlocking it, and I am using the stock android 4.4.2 ROM.
I tried mounting the SD card using the card reader and USB OTG cable with my Galaxy S2 running Cyanogenmod. This mounted as soon as I plugged it in so I doubt there is a problem with any of the components.
I have tried mounting the drive both with USB debugging enabled and disabled. Is there anything else that I can try?
Thanks,
Ciaran

Reboot your device while keeping the OTG cable connected.

Thanks, this does allow the drive to mount successfully; however, if I remove the drive then re-insert it it does not remount, nor does it show up in Stickmount. Is there a way to remount the drive on-demand - just like my Galaxy S2?

You can press the 'thanks' button if it helped. Till now, I have not come across any such method to mount the OTG cable on demand. It's a cheap ploy by Google and Asus that they do not allow native OTG support on the Nexus 7 2013. Just to promote the cloud services. Mounting OTG cable is so easy on the Moto G and Samsung devices. It's a given these days.

It's gotta be the connections your using. Either the Integral SD Card Reader, or the OTG cable you are using. I never have any issues using stickmount with my Meenova MicroSD card reader. Have you tried other adapters?

^This, stickmount mounts my meenova as well as my OTG+USB thumbdrives on demand, no issues whatsoever, no need to reboot or anything, it just automounts and it's ready to go.

Anyone use the Sandisk dual usb stick?

I have not but it looks awesome!
I was thinking about grabbing a Meenova but this looks like it will fit my useage better!

I use it and is fully working with my Moto X!

Does it mount as usbdisk? Are you on 442? Rooted?

Sure, it mounts as usb disk. I'm running the stock Motorola Rom 4.4.2, not rooted.
When you insert the stick through the micro usb port on the phone, it automatically mounts. Then I usually use ES file explorer to copy files in it.

its still working? cause i just bought one but my moto x no recognize the usb, i am on 4.4.3

I also have this device and it works great for me as well. The stick can be found going to storage/usbstorage in es or any file explorer. On Verizon running krypton rom with 4.4.3.

I just bought the Patriot 64gb OTG drive and it works fine on my stock, rooted Dev Edition on 4.4.3. Shows up in ES File Explorer, and works fine with Stickmount.

If you're rooted it should would fine if I'm not mistaking.

I just got this for my MOTO X XT1056. When I connect it, all I see in the notifications is this message: "Blank USB Storage. USB storage is blank or has unsupported file system" It the gives me the option to format the usb storage. I've done this twice and also formatted on my PC, but still same thing. Any help?
When I go to Settings, Storage and try to mount it does nothing and the message is still there.

I've tried a couple of USB Sticks via USB OTG, they're all working fine. No mounting problems or anything like that. I use the "File Explorer from NEXTAPP, INC" on my XT1052 Stock 4.4.2 KitKat no root.

What capacities and the format of USB do you all have used? Please reply. I've Moto X 2013 running 4.4.4 stock, no root. I tried sandisk dual usb 64 GB with ex-fat format and it didn't work. It doesn't show up in notification. It file explorer it shows as r/o (read only) device. Thanks

Worked fine for me.
When you mount it, it tells you "mounted in blah blah" I cant remember. I'm at work right now, so I will check when I get home, but it's in something like
/sdcard/usbstorage/sda1
EDIT:
Found a pic from when I did it.
Sorry about the blurry pic.

thanks for the lookup, the drive is being mounted to /sdcard/usbstorage/sda but it says the folder is empty

weird. mine is just a kingston datatraveler, formated as ms-dos(FAT). I'm using ES File Explorer to navigate to it.

U gotta download the ntfs fuse files if ur hdd is ntfs format
