Hello,
Scenario: SGS2, KIES-updated HKI4 firmware (2.3.4), rooted
I have an USB OTG adapter I got from DealExtreme that works quite fine. FAT32-formatted pen drives are instantly recognized and properly mounted.
However, if I plug in a ext2 pendrive, Android says it is blank.
The problem, however, is that the ext2 partition is recognized as /dev/block/sda/sda1, so it is not mounted automatically. If I mount it manually, I can access the ext2 partition and use the pendrive as any FAT32 (with all the added benefits of an ext2 partition).
How can I make Android mount an ext2 pen drive automatically? What config files do I have to change?
thanks.
hii bro ... I have HTC wildfire s with android 2.3.5 ...but its not rooted... what do you think will It recognize fat 32 pendrive if I try to do on the go with it ... or do I need to root my phone ... any suggestion would be much appreciated ...
Most 2.3.x devices with USB OTG support will automatically mount FAT32 partitions without the need of rooting.
Actually, in order to mount other filesystems, one doesn't need root either. All that is needed is access to the console (such as Terminal Emulator) and give the proper commands.

When I am trying to connect my usb flash stick to my tab using the original Samsung USB adapter I am getting this message: "USB Storage Damaged, you may have to reformat it" . So I reformatted my USB to FAT32 and I am still getting this message. It happens with 3 of 4 USB flash drives.. and some of them actualy worked before. I dont have any problems with those drives when I connect them to my PC.
P.S :
I am getting mouses to work so I dont think its a problem of the port.
Questions go in the Q&A section
So I have a rooted galaxy s2. I have purchased a usb on the go cable and I formated my usb stick to NTFS.
I downloaded a couple of NTFS mounters, usb mount and paragon.
I can mount and access the usb stick (which is 16gb).
The problem I am having is I am trying to download a 6.8gb file but it still says 'file size limit exceeded'.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Anybody?
When your device is rooted, you can use USB Otg Helper
Kind regards
Hi
I have bought a usb connector to connect my flash drives with my phone. Every time i connect the connector i get the message USB connector connected but right after connecting the usb i get SD Card is Damaged. Try Reformatting it.
I used to have Omega rom and it was working fine for a couble of weeks but suddenly the message came up again so i flashed the official 4.3 android for S3. The problem still persists... FYI the phone is rooted and with stock rom and kernel.
Any help?
Thank you
I don´t have the problem with USB flash disk. Format: Fat32
I have tried all kind of format disk but still the message Damaged SD Card shows up..
And did you try another USB OTG or another Flash disk?
Yes i tried 3 usb flash drives and also USB OTG Checker app that gave me positive results about the cable..
I think the problem is with your otg cable. Go to a accessories shop and check it there before you buy it. If it's not with the otg cable then may be it must be with the port
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Free mobile app
I even have two cables and none of them makes the difference
Thanks anw for your responses
Ok i finally figured it out. After a a lot of formatting of my usb drives on windows i tried to format those in my Puppy Linux OS with the same format as before (FAT 32). After that everything worked. Seems like linux can when Windows can't
Thanks for your help hope i helped other facing the same prob.
Hello guys.
I was trying to boot Windows from my mobile phone. First I tried to create a bootable USB drive but failed since my phone does not support USB OTG.
Now I want to boot Windows with DriveDroid, but before unrooting the phone I wonder if USB OTG is required too because I saw some labels like USB Host in DriveDroid or what is that refered to?
Another thing I see is my cellphone should support USB Mass Storage capability. Is there some app to check that? I could not find it.
Any help will be appreciated.
