Anroid oreo and usb otg - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I've got my 5x running a custom Oreo ROM. Ever since the Oreo upgrade, I can't access music files with Poweramp on my USB C to 3.0 otg.
I used to use USB stickmount app and it worked fine on Nougat but doesn't work anymore. I can see the drive using a file explorer and it evenregsiters as storage under system on my 5x. Any ideas or suggestions? I don't wanna select one file at a time as it's a p.i.t.a...

Resolved by using Poweramp beta and SuperSU. One or the there (haven't verified)allows access to my mini USB key via rooot access.

Mac File Transfer ?

I'm currently using aokp build 3. I have tried everything from MTP to PTP, use debugging to non usb debugging, Kies, Android File Transfer. Nothing seem to work. The only thing seem to be working is Airdroid which is really slow for any large file. So how do you guys transfer file on a custom rom with mac?

i am experiencing the same issues and have been for a very long time. when i first got the phone i could connect with Android File Transfer but no longer . I am running stock rooted. When I have experienced with ROM FILES, I have just put my SD card into an adapter and put it directly into my computer. This is also the safest way to transfer the file without risking corruption.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET MTP/PTP or UMS to work?? UMS would be preferable for me.
Here's a quick fix for doing a half-assed job of what you need. I am a fellow Mac user.
Download "SGS3 Easy UMS" (google it) APK to your phone. Install.
Connect your device to your computer. If you have Kies, it'll start saying "Connecting..." but it'll never connect.
Pop open SGS3EUMS, and click "Mount UMS" or whatever it's called.
Make sure you're rooted (shoulda said this before).
Boom. Pop open your finder. Send files to your external SD.

Can't do Internal SD, or get KiesMac or even Andriod File Transfer working after flashing CM10, or any custom ROM. Stock worked beautifully.

[Q] OTG support on BETA 4?

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.

[Q] Can't Connect To PC or Transfer Files?

Hi there!
I've downloaded and installed the latest Cyanogen Mod 11 Snapshot (M9) for my HTC One X (endevouru). The phone works internally fine but I can't connect Micro USB to Micro SD Card OTG, Micro USB to USB OTG or transfer files on (any) computer. The only way to transfer files for me is to upload to Google Drive/Dropbox and download to my phone. Yes, I have enabled USB Debugging, file transfers, etc, ntohing.
Is anyone able to assist in fixing by either on the phone itself or a link to original stock img/rom/whatever or a ROM that everything works on? As well as a ROM that works 100% (file transfers etc) that is based on AOSP/CM11 that has a theme chooser?
Thanks.

This I had the same happened for my HTC One X phone, but I didn't have Cyanongen Mod nor Backup.
Bump
Bump.
Yeah I have a similar problem. Windows (8.1) doesn't recognize the phone as a mass storage device but as a cd-rom drive. What I have tried: Device manager-> uninstall driver -> reboot -> reconnect phone -> No change.
Download latest htc sync manager to get the latestes drivers-> Install works fine -> Sync manager can't connect to phone, needs latest drivers -> Can't connect to phone and nothing gets installed.
So I'm stuck. Can' t access my phone to to, well, do anything.
I can connect my phone to my girlfriends laptop so the cable is working fine and it's probably a windows issue and I do have some problems generally with usb devices disconnecting, but that doesn't help me much since I can't find a working solution to that either.
I'm on ARHD 31.3 (I can't update to the latest version since I can't access my phone, arrghhh!!)
Any Ideas?

otg support in marshmallow

I was able to read and copy from pen drive using nexus 5 android 6 (not rooted and no 3rd app used ). but i was not able to write on pen drive even using ES file manager . Is it possible to write on pen drive using nexus 5 (not rooted, android 6.0)
Sorry i didn't tried , i have root and custom rom on my device
Use StickMount
I myself am running 6.0 no root too.
I use ES as well to copy files from a USB to my N5.
The Android OS actually has been added USB mounting support in 6.0.
Resurrection Remix 6.0.1 and OTG works fine for both read and write. I'm rooted and using StickMount though.

Recently I have noticed that when using a USB otg lead and flash drive, it appears under storage on the settings menu but doesn't appear in any file manager. Can anyone help please.
i have the same issue on stock 6.0 rom.

In your file manager. Go to system then storage. You can find your flash drive there. Or use Solid Explorer which shows the flash drive but you have to give permission the first time.
I tried that too. It does show up in Settings>Storage. It doesn't show up in any file manager.

Use solid explorer. It will allow you to see it

As said Solid Explorer works just fine indeed :good:
on stock rooted canadian variant, showes up perfectly fine. maybe its the rom
I've tried that too. Still no joy. Could be the rom.
Hi
The OTG functionality was working fine until the upgrade to 6.0.
After upgrade stopped working. No able to connect keyboard/mouse or SD/USB via OTG.
I have openned a ticket to LG support and still waiting for feedback.
