USB Drive not reading? - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running TnTLite 4.4 which I am absolutely enjoying but I was unable to get the USB slot to read a thumb drive. Is there a work around for this?

I found that re-booting, with the usb device already attached, usually fixs it or, going into file explorer and issuing a 'refresh' command.

what if format for USB drive. Try formatting as FAT32. Tab does not like NTFS

Thanks for all your suggestions. I will give it a try.

Did you enable USB access on the gtab? I know I had to do that on the Vegan rom. The usb will detect but you still need to enable it for use.

How do you enable it? Or do you mean turning on usb debugging.

yes. Sometime, show the warning request fortmat Disc I: ( disc of A70) but can't format it. The warning only show in few second and then disappear.
Having trouble with the translation. If you can still get into the Boot Menu, but the ram disk doesn't show up when you select Update Firmware, it sounds like there's some hardware trouble. I'd try to contact support. Someone else may have some ideas, as well.
Thanks all, i found my problem. The cable was broken so i bought the new cable. it's ok.
I installed SDE, UrukDroid 1.0 successfull.

Don't format NTFS, it's not supported on every FW version. Make sure the partition table in MS-DOS type, and make sure the storage scheme on the A70 is set to Fat, not Ext3.

Access OTG USB stick?

I can connect to my "Siyah Kernel" Galaxy S2, which allows me to connect my mouse to my phone. But whenever I try to connect my USB stick, I don't see anything in the Root Explorer.
Is there a special place I need to look to access my 16 GB memory stick?
try
mnt/usbdisk
But if you have formatted stick to NTFS, look at /mnt/ntfs.

for ntfs filesystem, maybe you need tools like paragon ntfs or ntfs mounter.
if you need storage for files files greater than 4go, you could also use ext4 file system which are usable with windows PC.
thanks

[Q] Can't use usb as a storage device using card reader

Hello, I am having a problem getting my galaxy tab 10.1 to recognize a usb flash drive I have connected via an adapter. I know it works because it detected a wireless mouse I connected to it, and it shows up when I use dmesg or lsusb in the terminal. The thing is that none of the file explorers I've used (Es, Astro) are able to detect the files I have on it. The usb drive is formatted to fat32; would it be more likely to detect it if I formatted it to ext3 or ext4?
Maybe you need to use this?

If it can read from the drive but not write then its probably a filesystem problem rather than a USB problem.
It sounds like your USB3.0 drive is using the NTFS format. If thats the case, the easiest fix would be to reformat it to FAT32.
No. It was formatted as fat32. I checked it.

I was hoping that i wouldnt need to root. Usb mouse and keyboard works fine without root.
I guess i'll stick to usb2.0 for a while.

This might sound strange, but is the USB OTG cable you're using specifically made for USB 3.0?
I've had trouble with those cables which would, surprisingly, work only with USB 2.0 drives.
Replacing the cable with an older USB 2.0 cable fixed the problem and worked fine with my USB 3.0 HDD !!
Try getting another cable.

I don't think cable is the problem. Same cable and pendrive work in my friend's mobile
But not in mine.
