Hi.
Android does not support NTFS supposedly, but you can install apps that allow android to read an NTFS file system.
I have an powered otg lead, and it can read fat32 external hdd with no problems, it`s just ntfs i am having problems with.
There are a few apps on Google Play.
Can anybody recommend an good app, I am rooted but my brother in law`s 10.5" is not, so an app that works without rooting will be great.
Thanks
John.

My tab can read flashdisk with NTFS file system , but can't remove everyting from tab to flashdisk , it only can remove file from flashdisk to tab, i used es explorer to manage file , it can read flashdisk with NTFS without root
I am on stock kitkat v4.4.2 , I just formatted an usbflash to ntfs and copied an couple of small video files and pluged it into my 10.5" , And i just get an "blank sd unsupported file system" message.

I'm on stock 5.0.2 no root same 10,5" t805 . May be you must upgrade to lolipop or if your brother won't to upgrade , the choice is must be root the tab, or try again to format your flashdisk to NTFS and then pluged again
I have Root and my brother-in-law is on lollipop, this is really for my brother-in-law, so lollipop is compatible with NTFS? , according to google it does not.
Thanks

My brother-in-law tried his 2TB WD USB Drive and it is not detected on his T800, but if he plugs in an Usb-Flash-Stick the stock file explorer automatically opens and shows the files straight away.
My brother-in-law does not even know hot to find out what files system his usb 2tb hdd is, but i think it must be ntfs.

Usb drive must ntfs because fat32 can't proses file above 4gb, you need usb Otg with additional power because the power from tab s not enough to proses 2tb usb drive

I have an powered otg cable, hope he had the power connected right, I am still waiting for confirmation that lollipop supports ntfs, I tried it on kit kat but an message on the notification bar said blank sd.

Ok, A member on the NBR forum, told me how to read NTFS without root for free "Get total commander and the USB stick plug in and you can read and write NTFS without needing root"
John.
Have you tried with ES file explorer?

FYI guys our stock Note 10.1 2014s have native support for USB HDDs via On the Go (OTG) cables. However, the drive cannot be NTFS: I tried a couple of different OTG cables, a powered USB hub for powering the HDD, etc, on my NTFS (a 2 TByte Passport) without luck.
I then quick-formatted the Passport to FAT and BAM everything worked perfectly: the USB device was recognized and the native "My Files" app auto-opened to display the contents of the HDD (i.e. an app like "Nexus Media Importer", which I used on my N10, is unnecessary)
Very impressive. I am diggin this tablet more and more...

Hi
The problem is the Kernel of the P605. On my Galaxy S4 i´ve solved the problem with the installation of a "hacker kernel v7 leak". Now it can read an write NTFS devices.
But for the Note i cant find a other kernel yet :crying:
Rooted users should try OTG Helper ... that seems to do the trick for NTFS.
If this is the case I think I will order a OTG cable right now
@Zumajay So basicallyallI have to do is turn my WD Passport into FAT and it will work via OTG?

yes, any massive storage with fat32 format, can be read with this tablet, just remember that fat32 has a file size limit of 4gb

you need the ntfs file system drivers inside the kernel in order to read nfts hdd format
I originally tried all of the NTFS mounting apps and none of them worked. Just formatted my HDD's to exFat then there is no 4gb file limit and all works fine.

Also having root does not help.
The problem is SELinux in Enforcing mode, it blocks all the programs that try to modify System partition by installing, in this case, the NTFS drivers.
Until someone will make a P605 kernel with SELinux in permissive mode, there is no way to manage an NTFS partitioned usb drive.
No more news about samsung note 10 ed. 2014 and solution for ntfs?
inviato dal mio Lg g4 h815 in attesa di qualcosa di nuovo...
Didn't think the P600 can run an external hard drive.
Tried just now with stock rom and Xluco kernel, that one's modded to support NTFS filesystem, but I haven't managed to get any externals to respond to the device.
-plugged in a small pendrive to test, and it reads the device.
-plugged in an external drive and nothing happens
-then installed the USB OTG Helper app, doesn't do anything either, says it didn't found any external to mount.
-rebooted the Note with the hard drive plugged in, nothing happened too.
-possible power supply problem, where the device didn't have enough energy to power an external device?
The guys above probably have the P605 model, the Snapdragon one, and formatted their drive to something other than NTFS, something that I can't afford to do lol. Yeah, the processor can be relevant too, because the Snapdragon Note 4 can detect and use a 512gb SD card (not microSD), whereas the Exynos version is limited to 64gb only, if I remember correctly.
hi everybody
I try to plug an NTFS USB key but if doesn't seems tout work with paragon NTFS app . For information my note 2014 is rooted and it runs with the CleanRom v2. In paragon app my USB key is recognised but the app can't mount it

You need usb stick plugin for commander. You will need to pay for it and it only works with total commander file manager but it does allow NTFS access....

Hi guys,this is my first post so I hope it will be helpful
If you want your SM-P600 to mount and read NTFS formatted Hard drives you will nee to install the kernel shown here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2615959
After you do that you can install Paragon or USB OTG helper,the hard drive should be mounted and your tablet should be able to show the files on it if you use ES file explorer
Iam considering buying an external 1 terabyte or more hard drive to keep my files so I can use my tab without a laptop
But I don't know if it will support that kind of storage via usb otg
Pls help if anyone tried
One other question is this will drain tab battery or what
Thanks

I can use my WD USB HDD mounted via OTG and formatted NTFS using paragon app to mount (root required). This is tested with my SkyHigh kernel.
I don't know if device natively supports it with stock kernel, but should be able to mount at least fat formatted USB HDD without root and visible with Samsung file manager.
Not real sure about the battery, but would obviously use qite a bit. I haven't tested to quantify the "bit".

I have a pair of 2 TB Seagate Backup Plus drives that I use with my tablet. I formatted them as exFAT on a Windows computer and they automount on the tablet when connected. The tablet does not provide enough power to spin the drive. I use a USB Y cable to supply extra power from another power supply.

If it's true it means that a fix is possible via system files.

I have T700 and rooted LP 5.0.2 stock rom.
How can I get NTFS SD card mount and read/write in my Tablet ?
EDIT: Are you talking about the Internal microsd reader as i dont know, I though you were taking about connecting and usbstick or usbhdd, if so you will need an otg cable see link below, I bought a couple of these and they work great with the software below.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MICRO-USB...able-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Tablet-/291548821201?
I asked the same question last week, the only answer i got was.
You need to install the "total commander" and "usb plugin for total commander" then you will be able to see ntfs files.

It can easily read more than 32GB, without doing anything. (In Fat32 of course)
Or if you want to use NTFS but without Root, check this out

If i am not wrong, maximum for fat32 is 4gb filesize?

You don't need to install any module to be abke to access fat32 formatted device, hell you don't need to have root at all. Fat32 is recognized by the system as is.
You just need a working OTG cable and use MiXplorer (download it from XDA official page). You will see your thumb drive in the hamburger menu (first or second one).
I have non rooted firestick 4k and it works.
I have no experience with fos5 devices and i cannot say anything about that because most NORMAL commands don't work there

NTFS and ExFAT file systems are developed by Microsoft.
Amazon is not paying to Microsoft for the license to use NTFS and ExFAT.
The maximum file size for NTFS and ExFAT are 16EB (exabytes) or 16 million GB (gigabytes).

Hey my device is the way I want it now sween wolf, rooted with all apps installed, I can't be assed unrooting it now.
but anyway I flashed the magisk module with the general thought being if I was using a pre-rooted rom I would lose the ability to use the USB drive through OTG?
So I flashed Pretorians module but I can't get the USB drive to show up, it's a sabrent 32 gb formated to fat32
I'm using a similar app to xplore called filemanager plus but with no joy... The USB storage just isn't playing ball and showing up you know?
So I don't need the module at all? , should I perhaps try reformatting the USB?

I am not telling you to unroot, this is not something rooting a device kills, but yeah with or without root, usb works.
Try changing your explorer, use mix or es file explorer to see if the usb is getting recognized but isn't showing up
My english is not perfect so i still not try this before i will be sure.
What is easiest way to enable ntfs or exfat usb drives?
I need this for Kodi, so i cant use es file manager.

File System Functionality Comparison - Win32 apps
Tables that list functionality and feature support comparisons for the four main Windows file systems, NTFS, exFAT, UDF, and FAT32.
docs.microsoft.com
so fat32 max filesize is 4gb, you are right
and that is the reason users need for higher resolution movies bigger than 4gb ntfs or exfat mass or some NAS to circumvent the limitation for local mass storage filesize of fat32

It absolutely is. The maximum file size for FAT32 is 4GB. What you linked to is exFAT, which is NOT FAT32. exFAT also cannot be read by the firestick.
