I haven't used USB otg for a while and this is the first time I'm using it with 4.3.
It does seem to work any more, even with paragon or stick mount. mounting causes the device to restart.
I'm using stock rooted with meenova.

Works fine for me, is your drive formatted properly?
works all right here on custom rom with stock kernel. imo you don't need any external tools. however, as noted above, make sure card is properly formatted with a fs that HTC one knows about : fat32, exfat, ntfs

i found a deal this morning on a 64GB USB stick...i have an OTG cable and using StickMount accessing USB storage works, but the largest stick i had to try it on was 16GB
does anyone know if a 64GB stick will work?
also - on LiquidSmooth 1.4, when i unmount the usb storage it also unmounts internal storage and i need to restart the phone...if you use a ROM which does not require a restart and using StickMount, please let me know which one it is
It probably will, but if it doesn't, just format the USB stick to have two 32 GB FAT32 partitions.
Don't know about the second part tho.

Stickmount working with 64GB flash drive
Just went through all this, and found that if I used a 3rd party disk formatter (in my case Easus) I could format a 64gb flash drive as one 64gb partition, and read it on my Nexus 10 with StickMount.
That 32GB limit is just Microsoft BS. And both exFAT32 and NTFS did not work; even though they mounted, the drives appeared empty on the Nexus.
I've been using a 64GB USB flash drive with my Galaxy Nexus for quite a while and it works very well. StickMount was having trouble with UTF-8 characters when the drive was formatted as exFAT, so I re-formatted it as NTFS using a Windows 7 computer and now all is well. It's formatted with a single partition. Note that I'm still running under Android version 4.1.2. I haven't wanted to deal with the Bluetooth issues I've heard about when using 4.2.1. As far as I know, StickMount is working with 4.2.1, though it may still have some quirks that people are working around.
I´m trying to figure out why the pendrive I'm connecting to my One X via OTG is showing the error Damaged USB Storage.
It is formatted to FAT32, and is 64GB. Is there a problem with pendrives this big? I have a 2GB which works fine.
I'm not rooted, I have the latest JB update.
Thanks.

try to format to only fat...not fat32 and try again...if it doesn't work then it's a too big usb stick ...but i can't imagine because someone had copied files from a 1tb storage to the one x with otg cable

Thanks, ill give it a go.
One more thing, if I root and format the pendrive to NTFS will it work? I read there is some apps on the market that work.
I hooked up my 2tb external he'd and it worked just fine. It was ntfs format and I used usb otg helper to mount it.
Everyday I use my 8gb fat32 format without issues.

Are you rooted?
I`ve just found out 4GB is the max for FAT! or is that the max it can hold?
Any way I cant find a way to format it to FAT.
Sorry, yea I'm rooted. Running viper 3.2.2 jb
Format it via device manager in windows.

just try the usb storage as ntfs and it have to work fine...because ntfs is unlimited and yes...try that and you will be happy
Yeh I suppose I'll have to root sooner or later, just don't like the hassle of saving and restoring stuff.
Thanks guys!
I found the same thing, damaged usb. But that's only 8gb. More like a formatting issue then I should think.

Hi,
I am using stickmount to read off my USB stick, I was wanting to free up some space on my nexus and copy some files and videos across but I always get a failed message, my stick is formatted to NTFS to fit my HD movies on.
Is it possible to write to my stick or will I have to do it through my PC?
Cheers.

I've been writing to my 64gb USB 3.0 stick and 1tb udder just fine with apps like stick root and USB otg helper.what is your current setup?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm not sure if stick mount is able to write to NTFS partitions, or is only able to read it.
I'm pretty sure it'll work if your USB stick is formatted to FAT32.
Thanks for the replies.
I will buy another USB stick and format to fat32, I need this one formatted to NTFS to fit my HD movies over 4gb.
Cheers.

From Stickmount's description in the Play Store:
----- Filesystem support -----
The filesystems supported depends on your device firmware. On most devices, at least vfat/fat/fat32 and ext2/3/4 are supported. On the latest Android versions, ntfs is also supported in read-only mode. Some devices also support exfat out the box, but most do not.
StickMount can utilize the "ntfs-3g" and "mount.exfat-fuse" binaries to add support for ntfs (untested) and exfat, but these are not included. If you place the "ntfs-3g" or "mount.exfat-fuse" files in the root of your internal storage ( /sdcard ), StickMount will automatically use them.
You can find the needed files here:

Stick mount didn't work at all for many of my USB drives. USB otg helper works much better IMO, but the features are not as nice.

Yes and No -- NTFS
Yep, I'm having the same trouble with my 64GB NTFS sd card with this G-Pad. On the other hand, I can assure you that NTFS formatted cards will work with Android. I've been using my 64-GB NTFS sdCard in my Sasmung Tab 3 8" for the last 4 months with no problem (CM11 4.4.2 the entire time). The card became corrupted a couple months back and I chose to reformat in NTFS and it hasn't had a single problem until I just bought his G Pad. I can reformat it - I just need to find out which way is the best.

Like you said, you used CM, which has root and drivers to read NTFS cards. In G Pad, you have three options: install CM, root G Pad or format in exfat.
NTFS - exFAT
I have the same problem NTFS or exFAT do not work: (I have slimkat Rom 4.4.2 but unfortunately, one form of which we are going sou Fat16 Fat32: (
Edit : helped change the kernal?
NTFS is not enabled in the kernel for the GPad gpe, and so probably not in the other versions either. There is limited support by default in the kernels for NTFS, allowing only read, and not write access, and limited file sizes as well. Therefore no point in enabled it for our device without adding code to the kernel.
The 64 gig Sandisk card has issues with exfat. Google to find out why, or search in these threads to learn more. Fat32 works fine on every card and should be your go-to default partition type.
There are kernels associated with different Roms or devices which support NTFS.
Ditched NTFS for exFAT

Ahh. I gotcha. I temporarily dumped 40GB of SD contents onto my PC, reformatted the card as exFAT, and the stock G Pad picked up my 64GB Samsung SD perfectly. Thanks.

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
