[NOTE]. I will not be responsible for anything you will done to your phone
USB OTG is a very useful feature. It allows you to connect your pen drives to your phone by a OTG Cable. It is now supported on many SoCs(even on Mtk) but due to some reasons(I don't know them) the OEM disables it, but USB OTG feature can be enabled in a very simple and easy steps in an rooted android Phone whose SoC support OTG but is disabled by the OEM. For this you have to :
i. Root Your Phone
ii. Download USB OTG Helper
iii. Read This post
First of all make a backup of all your stuffs. Then download USB OTG HELPER https://play.google.com/store/apps/...er&pcampaignid=APPU_1_VJL1VKPVK4qHuATPkYDwCw from the play store.
Then open the app and click on Mount
Open any file manager(I recommend ES) and go to /storage/usbotgdrive/drive/here. Voila you can access all the files
[NOTE]. This app will work on only those phones whose SoC has USB OTG by default but the OEM has disable it. I have successfully used it on Canvas Unite 2 and Canvas HD
PS Give me a thank

I just bought a USB OTG cable myself, (NOKIA CA-157) keyboard and mouse work perfect but again the same as you i cannot use any of my USB pen drives.
I don`t want to ROOT or UNLOCK bootloader of my ARC S, so any help would be appreciated
Check out the dev section for the topic for otg support and install the Q5 memory manager apk from there..
Drive should be FAT32 formatted,
Try mounting using that apk
But
You will need to root
If you do, reply back the results

Oh no, USB mass storage is gone on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Samsung Galaxy S II. We should be able to use USB storage mode when enable USB debugging in Gingerbread. But it is not working on Android 4.0.4 ICS Samsung Galaxy S2. I have 2 options ~ Media device (MTP) and Camera (PTP) modes to choose only.
1.Bring up Settings.
2.Click More… (under Wireless and network).........I dont have this option at all on my device
3.Then select USB utilities ~ Set USB cable connection mode.
4.Select Connect storage to PC then.
5.Connect USB cable from phone to PC.
6.Select Turn on USB storage.
7.That’s all.
i do understand this process but its not a option for me at all i am so stuck
Try sfhubs autoroot package, though personally I like MTP mode, I can still move and copy files to/from the phone.

I do not have "USB utilities" option on Android 4.1.1 ICS Samsung G2, so I do not know how to connect storage to PC. Anyone have an idea about it? Thanks a lot!

Did you read the posts above? They present a couple different ways to change MTP back to USB storage.

None of them work for me either. I need it built into the phone without this pain in the butt to enable. I just ordered 990 S2's that I assume will have 4.0.4 installed like the 4 samples I have here; I have told Samsung that I will need to cancel my order if it is not an option on the device as it is required for my use. Granted, this is only about a thousand phones so it may not be enough for Samsung to care, but we shall see.
You have to reinstall the USB drivers to make it work.

That's only because the transfer is being made over MTP; it would not exist if the storage was presented as mass storage. The user should be able to change the way the device shows up; between MTP and mass storage. I am not going to spend the payroll to install drivers on a thousand laptops, and a regular user shouldn't have to either. I understand that sometimes phones have problems with media scanning, but that should be a user settable option and the user can make a decision.
Hello,
I cannot get my USB Host Mode to work on my Note II... I have tried various ROM's/Kernel combo's, and the apps you can get in the play store. (USB Host Controller). I've also tried lots of devices, and provided the external power when it was needed. When I got this phone I wanted the stock ROM of it, and didn't even try the USB Host mode. All the ROM I've tested have been stock based, that shouldn't be the issue.
I know the USB-OTG adapter works because I've tried it on other phones, with the same devices I can't get to work on my own phone.
My Rom is CleanROM Ace 4.9, which is latest. Kernel is SaberKernel_23, also latest.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Maniac
Not much experience with it but I use 'stickmount' and can see USB storage with my dongle.
I'm with Telus and also using cleanrom 4.9 the below app worked for me

I just found this app yesterday, but, this is not the usb I'm looking for. This app allows you to mount the extsd as a USB device on pc. I want to use USB devices with my phone. Mount flash drives, mouse, xbox 360 controller, etc..

What kernel are you running? USB-OTG functionality must be enabled in the kernel. I'm running Adam.Kernel v2.5 (for N7105/I317) and when I connect my flash drive to phone (via USB-OTG cable) you should see two messages in the top notification area: "USB connector connected" then "USB mass storage connected". Then open your favorite file manager and you should see another storage device "UsbDriveA" (the other two of course are "sdcard0" (internal) and "extSdCard" (external). When you click on "UsbDriveA" you should see the files on your flash drive. Two things to check: does your kernel support USB-OTG? (I'm pretty sure when I was on the CleanROM v4.9 (N7105XXDMC3) kernel, it also worked. Second thing to check is the cable... I see you mentioned it works on other devices, but I had same problem. Bought another USB-OTG approved cable (less than 6 bucks) and it worked flawlessly on the Note2.
By the way, there is a bug in the 4.1.2 firmware when you disconnect the cable from phone (even using the drop down notification and selecting "USB mass storage.. Select to remove...." your phone won't deep-sleep again unless you reboot (leaves a partial wakelock called "USB Unmounter" (something like that). However, when ready to disconnect cable, do it this way "Menu--> System Settings --> Storage --> and scroll down to "USB OTG storage"... then select "Unmount USB OTG storage". This will safely unmount usb cable storage and allow phone to deep-sleep again without rebooting. Hope this helps.

Get a generic Android OTG cable (very cheap from eBay). Use it to connect directly to your camera. If that doesn't work, for some reason, use the OTG cable with an adapter that will allow a Compact Flash card to plug into a USB port.
ok, thank you, i'll try this :good:

If you have't used an OTG cable before, here's how it will work. When you plug in the camera or a compact flash card adapter, the files will appear under /storage/USBstorage (or USBstorage2 , 3, etc.). At that point, you can copy files to or from the connected device using any file manager app.

Thanks for this too! Never used OTG and I'm planning to do so for the sam reasons. You saved me a search
Do you need to be rooted to do this? I have the GPe and when I connect a flash drive with my OTG cable it doesn't read at all. Even checked in my for manager and it doesn't pop up.

I used nexus media importer on my old Nexus 7 and seems to work fine on my LG Gpad GPE.

dear paranoid android users and developers,
I've made a fresh (and clean) install of newest BETA 4 on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013 (Wi-Fi) and encountered a small problem... I cannot seem to get StickMount to work... none of my pendrives that worked on previous versions (the ones before SuperSU was switched to Superuser) seem to show up in any file explorers...
also, when I ran the USB Host Diagnostics, I got a result in the Root API section: N/A... therefore, I'm thinking something is not right on the Superuser side...
I would be oh so thankful if someone could help with coming up with a solution! :fingers-crossed:
P.S. I'm posting a screenshot of the USB Host Diagnostics as attachment. the same result shows up on Nexus 5.
try USB OTG Helper
I don't know if it will work but its what I used when I was on a different ROM, I'll check later and see if it still works.
hmm, will look into it and see if anything changes...

I just tested it. OTG works Perfectly on PA beta 4. If you are using an external HDD make sure its getting powered.

On which device did You manage to do it? And with help of 3rd party apps, or just with the system in its own?
Also... Stock kernel or custom one?
Cheers!
Htc one x. Custom kernel but the kernel doesn't do anything for otg. And only used USB OtG Helper. Just plug the OTG cable and the USB device in and then open otg helper then plug the otg cable into the phone and wait a few seconds and then mount.

on GNexus, with PA Beta4, stock kernel: it works from the start, without 3-party apps.
the only thing it doesn't work is when I unmount (from "settings>storage": is there any other way to do it?) it keeps a permanent notification saying "Removed USB storage. Insert new media" that won't go away. Eventually it does, don't know how, why and when.
cheers
Nexus 5, PA Beta 4, stock kernel.
OTG works flawlessy, from the settings I can mount and unmount it.
