how to make defy look like a usbstick to any device.
i want some kind of emulator so my defy looks like a 2gb usb stick!!
Just connect to a pc with the data cable and select memory card access when asked for the type of usb conenction, it should get detected and act like a normal pen drive.

I have a Samsung 42" plasma with USB port and it read my HDD and all my thumb-drives to play movies/Pics/musics. Never thought of trying with my Defy. Will certainly try this out today.
If the device supports mass storage host protocol then I dont see as to why it wont. My LCD recognises the defy without a problem.

well yes normal usb sicks do work. hmmm i will test it some more.
If this is possible it would be very useful. I could put a bookable ubuntu on my phone and boot pc's from that instead of carrying a pendrive everywhere.
ow and im on Cm7

I DID and it did not work
hmm.... maybe just a little disclaimer in case it needs to be said: when enabling USB mass storage, the only storage system that can be seen from the defy is the one on the micro SD card.
So, if you don't have one, i'm pretty sure nothing would happen even if you connect it properly

I got a sdcard. it works on my pc normaly
In that case, i think it's time to think about using another feature that came with the phone: warranty

There might be some issue in the device u are trying to connect to. Even in my pc i have usb issues. Some specific pen drives just randomly wont work on my pc. Just my 2 cents.
I've got an GT-P7500, and it will not read any USB Sticks.
Using the Samsung connection kit.
tried with 15 different USB sticks, all FAT32 formatted, all sizes 1-16gb.
A friend uses a 4gb stick in a GT-P7510, i tested that one, didn't work
Other things like usb mouse works, but not usb stick.
Anyone got any suggestions ?
Wonder if there is something wrong with it.
How do you know it isn't working? What directory are you looking at? What does the notification bar show? Which connector are you using? Is USB debugging on?
Also this is more a Q/A...
I'm hoping this thread is still alive because I am having the same problem. @ajnindlo I'm using the standard Samsung USB Connector with a 8gb usb stick. I've tried with USB Debugging on & off and I get the same message. "Damaged USB" and asked me to reformat.
I am using a Mac BUT I did format the stick as a ms-dos fat format.
Please help...
Thank you
PS. I know this is more of a q&a place, didn't know where else to post and didn't find any other with this problem but here. Please redirect to correct location if you know of a solution. Thank you
Just i hace received my USB kit and it works perfectly, my USB has 16 g and i haven't do anything to work, conected and work.

I had a 32 GB sd card and it also wouldn't be detected by my Galaxy Tab. But, I plugged it into my phone, plugged my phone into the computer, formatted the sd card and when I put in my Gtab, it worked.
I got my connection kit today but its not working at all.
Got 2 adaptors 1 for sd card and 1 for usb connection they both dont work.
Got no status bar message or anything.
Do I miss something here?

one catch that I have realized is that for proper identification of the USB Stick, the tablet must be in english language.
My friend had a hard time figuring out why his tablet won't show up any notification when a USB Stick was connected, whereas mine shows the "My Files" app showing the storage folder and all the contents of the stick, joking around I told him that was because my tablet was in english and his tablet was not.
Anyway, Astro file explorer doesn't work with USB Sticks, Use ES File Explorer instead and look in /mnt/ folder for usbdrive , there should be your content.
Nope still not working. No files found.
Feels like my device doesnt support usb host.
Is that possible?

Connect the usb stick, open ES File explorer and go to /mnt/usbdrive folder, if you can't find the folder (which is not on the sdcard) you need to configure ES File explorer to get out of the sdcard directory, the usbdrive folder is always present even if you don't have any usb drive connected
I had similiar problems with my 16GB P7510. It would only recognize any of my Sandisk sticks and a brand new PNY only at 30% of the time. The only stick it was reliable with was an ancient 256MB stick I had. I worked fine with my camera.
I ended up returning it for a 32GB P7510 and have not had any problems with any of the sticks. At the time I didn't think the tablet was defective but it appears it was.

I have exact the same issue, but it's strange, some SD has this issue, some don't.
"Damaged USB"
I found a trick, but it solved my problem only once: format SD card by a digital camera (Canon powershot) , SD was now recognized by Tab10.1
Putting some extra files on it by PC ... insert SD to Tab10.1 ... same issue again :crying:
Have tried several SD formats & sizes ... notting helps
Did someone knows a solution to solve this problem
GT-P7510
Android 3.2
Rooted, TASK 14 Rom
Try to reboot, it worked for me.

Correct ... but after a second or third time connecting same SD , issue returns
Have tried this, waiting for a while does helps time to time ... so I guess it's maybe "memory" or "kernel" (system) related.
It seems we have the same TASK14 ROM + Pershoot's kernel.
Strange things.
I made the test by unroot my device and went back to factory stock ... it look like the issue is solved for 90% ... it appears when you disconnect and reconnect to fast after the 1st disconnection .
usb not recognised
Nothing happens when i plug (several) usb sticks. /mnt/usbdrive is empty.
Any idea?
charging Problem
You must Check that Your usb Debugging is On or Not as it creates problems and this will be stopping You device from Accepting Usb Sticks..
I found that FAT 'sdCard's would mount , but that NONE of my NTFS sticks would mount
All my sticks are NTFS , so that was unacceptable.
rooted 7500 and 6800
Installed 'Paragon NTFS&FHS', from the AndroidMarket and all files now popup in 'MyFiles' when I insert the usb with the adaptor
I have the Samsung Connection Kit containing as USB and a SD adapter. The USB adapter works fine, but the SD adapter doesn't work at all. All it does is starting the TuneIn Radio app when it is connected. I uninstalled the app and now connecting the adapter has no effect at all. Any suggestions?

what capacity btw?
When you connect a pendrive, usually either of 2 things happen:
1.) shows that external storage is connected, details can be seen in settings>storage, external storage. file access needs to be done using a file manager app.
2.) shows, device power consumption error. meaning, ur pendrive consumes lot of power than the phone can provide. solution to this is to use a new pendrive or thru a externally powered usb hub.
Its of 8GB. The phone doesnt show any sign of connected pen drive and even the external storage option in "storage" is greyed out
thanks

hmm, I dont c wat is wrong, try another pendrive, prefarably of a different model or brand and of smaller capacity.

You can use "StickMount" app to mount USB storage , incase your phone is not detecting the USB device. The only issues is that the app needs a rooted device. so if your mobile is rooted then you are good to go.
StickMount isnt helping either
try connecting a usb mouse and/or keyboard..
if it works, try a different pendrive, else then maybe u can blame the OTG cable or ur phone...
I made my own OTG cable using an old regular micro cable that I no longer needed. I believe you need to "jump" pin four to pin five....but you would be best researching it. I recall it being extremely easy to do, but then again I do have years of experience ripping stuff apart and putting it back together.

Also, I don't think drive size is an issue as I've connected a 2TB full size external hard-drive (the kind with a power brick) and was able to use it just fine. It was NTFS formatted so I did have to use USB OTG Helper to get it working, but it did work with no problems.
Hello,
Here's my problem, I recently bought an OTG cable for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S (Stockrom 4.4.2, rooted), I plugged in my 16gb flash drive, it worked perfectly. Then I tried to use my 1TB Hard drive (not self-powered) but the tablet didn't recognize it, the power led didn't switched on. I tried the same operation but this time with my Galaxy S4 (Stockrom 4.4.2, rooted) and in perfectly worked.
Thank you for your help !
Its a laptop hdd or desktop? I've tried a laptop on my S and it worked perfect

Re
It's an external HDD, Toshiba 1 TB, may there be a tweak or something like that to make it spin? It's really weird that my GS4 runs it perfectly, whereas my Tab S, which has twice more battery power doesn't.
In addition, I bought it for that purpose !

I know you said that the led didn't turned on which means its probably about the power going through the connection but have you tried the app total commander yet?
Re
I know that I could use a powered usb host, but I think that's completely useless as it's just a new Samsung restriction which never existed before.
Yes I also did try Total Commander, unsuccessfully.
I'm 100% sure that the problem could be solved simply by flashing some files to increase the usb power limit like it's been until now.
Developers we're calling for your help. THANK YOU
btw, u said that you were able to access your 16 gb flash drive by just plugging it in right? did you have to do anything special to get it to work? i tried it on mine but when i plugged it in , 2 things pops up in the noti bar, Blank USB Storage and USB OTG Device Connected, i tried all sorts of ntfs apps but i couldnt mount it at all.
I tested my 16 gb NTFS flash drive, it works perfectly using Total Commander.
Hello,
I have external hard drive its 1TB and its NTFS formatted i used for the first time and my problem is my j5 prime can't detect the drive. When i connect the drive the led light is blinking but its not detected. I installed otg troubleshooters app and only the otg detected the drive didn't. I also installed total commander and still not detected. Is there anyone know what to do about it? Please help me.
I've got a new Nexus 7 (2013) that I'm trying to connect to my 128gb PNY USB 2.0 Flash Drive(formatted NTFS). My device is rooted and I've tried multiple USB hosting apps such as Nexus Media Importer, OTG helper, and Stickmount but none of these have been able to recognize this drive. I have another old 1gb Cruzer that I have no troubles using and the 128gb PNY Drive works fine on my desktop. This makes me think the Nexus 7 simply cant power the Flash Drive however I have read others claiming they are able to power some larger Flash Drives and mid-sized external Hard Drives with much more space so I find it hard to believe I just managed to find the wrong brand drive. Sometimes the Flash Drive seems to get detected for a split second but before I am able to even finish connecting it is lost again. OTG Troubleshooter sometimes will not detect any device, other times it will detect the device for a quick moment and give issue #58277 yet other times it will pass the troubleshooting test and send me to connect to the device but by the time i get there it has disappeared. Any information on what may be causing this issue or what Flash Drives the Nexus 7 is capable of powering would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jake
Try Paragon NTFS to set SELinux to permissible. I use both that app and Stickmount for my 64gb Sandisk Dual USB.
Paragon NTFS can't pick up the device either. I can only ever seem to get the device detected for a brief moment right after plugging it in so I guess its a power problem. I just don't see why this flash drive would take so much power. If anyone can confirm some higher capacity drives that work with the Nexus 7 that would be great.
Hi, were you able to solve this problem? I also have the same issue with this USB device. It seems to work fine on my Samsung S5, but not the nexus7 or S3.
