Is there a rom or kernel that I can flash so that I can connect 1TB external/portable hdd?
I can use my external hdd to my other phone Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X.
Thanks

Hi,
I am not able to connect note 8.0 to an external HDD (ED) through micro-usb OTG. I think I may need a Micro USB Host OTG Cable with USB power. I just want to know whether anyone has tried it for note 8.0 and does it reads NTFS ? I think my HDD is in NTFS format and I don't want to change it to FAT 32. (Actually I don't know how to do it) Any ideas ? Any help is really appreciated
Regards,
Pushkar

Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ will allow you to access your NTFS drive without having to format it to FAT32 so you do n ot lose your data. It's Free.

The application says root is required...I am not able to figure out whether the external HDD (1 TB WD) is not working because the note 8.0 is not supplying it enough power or because it is not able to read the file system (NTFS).
Should i simply root my device & install the application or buy a OTG cable with external power port and then see whether it's a power issue ?. The problem is usb otg with external power is not available in this country (India) and amazon doesn't ships this particular product to India
Thanx a ton for all the help..really appreciate

I found That the Note 8.0 is not able to power external Hard Drives if they receive Thier power via Usb. A Powered Drive is fine. I use a Powered Usb hub to read my WD My Passport 1TB,which is also NTFS. My device is rooted and I have the paragon app installed.

IMO all may depend on power necessary to run the drive - my HDD was running ok with no external power.
So first I'd suggest rooting + ntfs app, and only if it does not work looking for powered Usb otg cable.
In the worst case you can do it yourself - in all Usb cables two external wires are for 5V power supply (same as provided by standard chargers), so it's just a matter of finding which is +/- and bit of soldiering

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

not exactl...
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?

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.
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.

Could ANYONE please confirm that ?
If it's true it means that a fix is possible via system files.
THANK YOU A LOT
So I was trying to plug in my Seagate 500 gig external hard drive to my Asus K00Z. The hard drive is FAT32. it doesn't get detected on the device even though the light on the hard drive goes on. All flash drives word. Reasons and solutions, if any? Android 4.4.2 Asus firmware version 5.4.2 rooted.

Redmi detects only devices with 'FAT16' or 'FAT' Fille system, so try formatting it via your computer.
I hope this will work.
