I have flashed just about every ROM out there and there is NOTHING I can do to get the EVO to recognize that I have plugged in the HDMI cable. I never tried it before I started flashing ROMs because I didn't have an HDTV. So I really don't know if it ever worked.
So I am makin glots of assumptions
1)That the cable works
2)That the TV is compatible
3)That the HDMI wasn't broken from day one
But anyway, I know at different times I have had to re-activate the USB port and re-format my SD Card because somewhere along the line in flashing they became corrupt or unmounted or whatever.
Has anyone heard of any "fix" or command for HDMI port?
Try it on a stock rom...
your sig shows cm6 which doesnt support HDMI..yet.
ive also experienced this issue tried several roms , different kernels including stock and still cant get it to show up in the notification bar plus my cable is from sprint anyone got any ideas?
HDMI worked for me when I was stock everything. You have tried various roms, and stock kernel, but it's possible that the other roms don't support it. I know CM6 doesn't, because that's what I use.
I would suggest flashing a stock rom. They are available in these forums with some digging. Nothing custom. Then give it a try. If it still doesn't work, then you have an issue somewhere on the phone. If you are back to stock, just delete the update.zip file from your SD card. No one at Sprint will be able to know you were rooted, and probably wouldn't take the time to dig. You can then get some assistance from them in case it is an issue with your hardware.
Also, I would make sure that you have a good HDMI cable. I know micro HDMI made by Molex works, but I had read reports that some people got generic ones that didn't work.

Thanks for the advice il try that out asap and post an update asap
Its because your not using the right kernel try netacrhy-toastmod-4.1.8 bfs for 2.2 users and there is no reason you have to go back to stock almost every ROM can support HDMI as long as you are using the right kernel. As of right now CM6 does not support wimax, or HDMI

Hello, I've searched for days and can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem to mine, so I'll make this thread.
A couple weeks ago I recieved Jelly Bean (4.1.1) on my HTC One X, and it looks like USB-devices should work, because under settings -> storage (I have norwegian language, so I don't know if it translates to storage in english, but I think it does) it has "USB-storage" at the bottom. I have connected a USB-stick (FAT32) to the phone via an OTG-cable (or so I am told it is, I'm just getting started with these things).
I read somewhere, probably here that some people got it working after they got Jelly Bean, so I'm wondering; why doesn't it work for me?
I rather not root the phone or install custom ROMs, but if it's the only option, I will consider it.
Sorry if I overlooked something obvious in my desperate search, please help me.
Pretty sure the only option is to root it mate.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong !!
But you need a way to mount the device, with either an app or kernel that supports it.
Such as StickMount, but you need root.
Goodluck.

Ok, so i had stock ICS, and upgrade to stock JB, never rooted, and OTG is working just fine! First you need cable with OTG suport or adapter (i use micro to female usb OTG adapter (see picture) so i can directly plug my usb (16 GB FAT32) without any cables), and second you need file manager with OTG support , i tray Astro file manager an he can find all files on usb stick! I have used several other file manager without luck, maybe now they work with updates or somethig, but im not sure!
Hello everybody,
It's nearly my first week with my new Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE T805 and I have to admit that,
it is an AwEsOmE experience Great features, fantastic speed, Whoahow screen and colors, e.t.c
But to my also great surprise, I found out that although I have connected my USB stick to my tablet using a microUSB-to-USB
cable, there is no way to "see" it. The USB is formatted in NTFS and I know that there are issues between that and Android, but
I couldn't believe that there isn't a workaround to that problem. Before the Samsung tablet I had an Asus Transformer TF700 Pad with a matching keyboard which by the way had a USB 2.0 port and i could connect my USB sticks and USB HDDs without any issues. It was on JellyBean stock root and ofcourse rooted. Thank God i didn't give it away!!! Until there is a solution on the horizon, with my Samsung:crying: I am going to do all the downloads and transfers to USBs with my Asus.
So this where I need your experience and your knowledge.
Is there something wrong with my tablet, my microUSB cable or it is a known problem regarding the Android?
Is there a way to bypass this problem that anyone from the community might know?
So practically the microUSB port exists only to charge our tablet? What happens if someone wants to put a USB stick in the proccess, because that someone wanted to transfer a number of files from his tablet at home to the PC at work?
Please, I would appreciate it if you could help me out with your knowledge
Thank you in advance for your time,
P.S.
My Samsung is rooted with Stock root KitKat and TWRP custom recovery installed
You need need a different kernel as the stock kernel doesnt natively support ntfs, however apparantly skyhigh kernel does http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/kernel-skyhigh-tw-kernel-synapse-t2854933
You also need the correct usb otg cable. This one works fine http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Powe..._MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item1c48b0c84a
Yes, as previously stated that my SkyHigh kernel does support NTFS r/w (amongst many other things).
You will require an app to mount r/w, paragon app is recommended. Else you can have r/o access with root type file explorer to /mnt/ntfs/.....
Thank you very much for your help, @ashyx, @UpInTheAir
But to tell you the truth I am quite afraid to flash a new kernel to my tablet, for 2 reasons mainly
1) I don't know the proccess of doing it
2) I am afraid that it might be too complicated workaround for a noob like me and I don't think I will complete
such a difficult task:crying:
Do you happen to know if with the upcoming Android - 5.0 Lollipop version, that matter will be solved?
So until further notice I will only buy the USB Hub that you recommended and I will keep my Asus tablet (which has has a keyboard with USB2.0 port that works) until Samsung finally decides to solve that matter once and for all for the millions of people out there.
Thank you very much for your time,

1) Read the relevant kernel thread, it has INSTRUCTIONS. ..
2) It's not a work-around. It's actually the only solution. I will be blunt, if you believe it's too difficult to follow my thread requirements, instructions and other info, then best you forget about NTFS.
LP probably won't solve NTFS support, because Samsung doesn't enable it in stock kernel.
Thank you very much UpInTheAir for your quick reply,
If it is the only solution, then I will read your kernel thread and your instructions and by the end
of that proccess I will have NTFS support on my tablet.
But nothing of this would have been possible for all of us without your precious work and help @UpInTheAir
Much obliged

Just make sure the correct kernel is flashed for your device model
kernel v2.5.0 is latest for T805 and use paragon app from Google Play ( give SU access )
I've implemented a lot of support into kernel for synapse app, you don't need it, but there are many kernel tweaks available by using it.
Best of luck and good reading
The process of installing the kernel is far easier than you probably imagine. However you will need to be rooted to install a custom kernel. Thankfully this process is also very simple with CF AUTO ROOT .
My advice is this : root your tablet, install flashify from play store, back up your stock kernel with it, then use it to install Sky High kernel. Done.
Thanks to UpinTheAir for the kernel. I have done a fair bit of kernel and Rom development myself in the past, so I know the time and effort that developers put into these things. :good:

i went pc world and they had them watiing in store. so easy just plug and play! can swap info on my stock tab s 8.4 , also works on my rooted oneplud and the stock nexus 9.
saves you the effort of flashing kernel and also messing up the secure kernel flag, ( i think flashing will make 0x1x show on boot?) KNOX i believe its called. my s4 had it, something to do with warranty flag at samsung

He wishes NTFS .....
Thank you all for your interest and your kind advice regarding Android and NTFS compatibility,
After long thought I have decided to get rid of NTFS format which is not supported by my android tablet
and go for the new and much promising exFAT which is supported by many platforms.
So I took one of my USB sticks and formatted using exFAT, then copied all my files in and then I connected it with my
microUSB cable to my Samsung tablet. Voila!!! Everything worked like a charm! I "saw" my USB right away from my file
explorer and i was able to copy back and forth from it, even a couple of my bluray movies
So finally after taking into consideration everything you told me, and after reading a lot of posts on this forum I decided
to follow that course and I am very happy with my choice so far:fingers-crossed:
But the choice I made is a result of the precious knowledge and kind help that is provided by the members of this community to all of us noobs:cyclops: seeking help.From the bottom of my heart thank you all for your kindness that you showed me and the help that you provided:good:
God saves the xdadevelopers:good:

The plugging in of a usb drive is not the issue. You can do that with a cheap otg cable and any storage device. As said its ntfs support, its silly that this isnt supported by default.

Yup, I couldn't agree more with that. It really sucks that NTFS is not supported and as all indications show will not be, at least in the near future
So for me exFAT is the second best option in order to bypass this lack of NTFS support on Android.

You can format you usb stick, external hdd to exfat file sistem. No root neded, no kernel. Just a functional usb otg cable.

I know that. ..
The OP specifically stated he was using NTFS. I gave him the only option if NTFS was required.
He's using an alternative, exFAT may not mount to some OS though. ...
I dont think some people are quite getting it here. I have several drives that are already ntfs and full of data, formatting is not an option. I'm guessing the op is the same.

Yup, the OP remains the same, me
If you have as many disks as you have and with lots of data on them, then yes you are absolutely right, it gonna take lots of hours of copying and pasting files back and forth until you are done
But it is the only way I can think of, unless ofcourse you want to flash another kernel which supports NTFS
And I was told by the kind developer himself it comes by the name of SkyHigh kernel and supports NTFS r/w
My way is an easy workaround to a problem (By changing from one file system to another) and his way is a solution to the problem.(By keeping the same filesystem)
Ofcourse you can use the way that suits you best
Has anyone else had this problem with their edge plus? OTG mounts just fine when booted up into an OS but TWRP wont recognize any OTG drive i have at all, it just says OTG 0MB and never changes, Has anyone had this problem or know how i could fix it? Thanks Edit: I apologize for posting this in the wrong section. Thought I was in the troubleshooting tab : (

Yes I did a couple of days ago. Go to the TWRP website n download the latest TWRP zip, everything is working now
I have the HTC Desire 816 from sprint, I believe it is a5chl, however I am currently using CM13 for a different model (a5dwg) because cm only supports CM12 for my device and I use my device on wifi only so I don't need data to work anyways. I've been using cm13 for the a5dwg on my phone for a while now and it's been working perfect, however I had an older version of TWRP, it was 2.8.0.4 ( I think) and I wanted to update it to 3.02 (or whatever the latest is). And when I went to update it, me being a silly goose, I accidentally flashed it to the boot partition and thought I bricked my device. I decided to wipe all storage partitions and reflash my rom and then use adb to update twrp. That seemed to work, and everything on my phone now works as it once did, EXCEPT it no longer reads any USB I plug into it. Before updating twrp and wiping, my phone would get a notification when plugging a usb in and I could then explore the files, however my phone no longer responds to usbs what so ever. Even in recovery it shows an option that says USB OTG but whenever I click on it, it does nothing. This is a really big annoyance because I used this option to easily flash nightlies and other files. Did wiping one of my partitions somehow break the usb otg? or was it updating the recovery that did so? Is there anyway I can fix this?
Sorry for the long and probably somewhat hard to understand post, but I've searched everywhere and cannot find anything about my problem. Any advice/input is greatly appreciated.
