today I see a dual-purpose USB disk flash drive in Aamzon. i want to buy it but.....has anyone bought this and share some ideas?
I installed the one click root+Flash+busybox+usb fix and everything successfully installed but now when I connect any flash drive or external harddrive they are not seen. I formatted both to fat32 and they are not seen. Anyone have any tips on fixing this?
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.

You need more info.
Are you rooted? What pen drive? Are you plugging directly into the FireTV, are you using a USB Hub, is the hub powered by an AC adapter?
My 32gb flash drive works fine,even through my Targus USB Hub alongside my Logitech K400r Keyboard's stick.
What brand is your flash drive?
Mine is a SanDisk Cruzer Glide.
i figured it out
i formatted to ntfs...works
also using a hub
stickmount is an app just to read flash drives or external drives?
Thanks
Hello,
I have been able to successfully connect an external flash drive to my Nexus5x, using an USB-C OTG cable.
I was wondering if there exists any sort of Y-cable I could use to connect BOTH an external memory AND my pc (to use ADB) at the same time.
In particular I would need this to work in the TWRP recovery.
Any idea/suggestion?
Thank you.
