I read that when connecting a storage device via the USB OTG , the i777 can only read FAT32 device. Would it be possible to read NTFS formatted devices? I tried to load international i9100's NTFS driver, but it did not work. The kernel of my i777 is latest Entropy's Daily Driver.

I was planning on adding the FUSE module which allows ntfs-3g to be used... In fact I thought I had done it already but it looks like I didn't.
I'll add fuse.ko to the next DD release
You'll still need the ntfs-3g binary in /system somewhere
Can't help you much beyond that - I don't have an OTG adapter

Hi everybody!
Tried to connect to my Galaxy S II usb flash drive GOODRAM EDGE 32Gb (FAT32) but it isn't working. Also not working wireless usb mouse G-Cube G4T-10BL.
When i connect this things to my i9100 nothing is happening. Even no message from my i9100...
How can i solve this problem?
You can mount ntfs drives by loading ntfs.ko module as mentioned in this thread.

I'm not sure fat32 file system works by this method.
Also, try using different kernels like Siyah which supports ntfs/fat32 mounting.
I have a USB OTG cable but it doesn't work .
I have rooted 2.3.5 rooted phone.
Do I need to enable any settings on the phone to activate it?

Define "doesn't work". What're you trying to plug into it?
Most things you plug into it will need more power, so you'll need to run them off a hub unless it's a very low-powered device like a usb memory stick.
I think the thread author was pretty clear. "Doesn't work" means that it is not working. How hard is that to understand?
Look here:

It would be great to have it back...
ROM developers, can you do it?
Thanks

I am having the same problem.
Got my cable today and can´t get it to work.
Nothing shows when i connect pen drives, tried 3.
I am using 2.3.5 XWKJ1, ROOTED
THANKS.
I read from somewhere that 2.3.5 took away OTG support. You have to use a ROM that supports it. Also, if you want to mount a NTFS partition, you need the fuse.ko specifically compiled for your kernel version. For instance, Siyahkernel comes with its own fuse.ko. The regular fuse.ko you find in this forum would work for he CF-root kernel while none is compiled for the TWD kernel yet. FAT32 should mount automatically.
It works for me. Except NTFS files won't show up in gallery automatically. I have to use es file explorer to open.

Thanks for helping.
Looking around can´t find a rom that says OTG working or 2.3.5 does not support usb OTG.
I´ll try to install 2.3.3 to see if works or the cable i have got might be faulty.
As far as I know every custom rom except the stock rom will support OTG, at least for FAT32-formated sticks. USB sticks work for me in both NTFS and FAT32. I attempted to mount a solid state drive but failed. The SSD light is lit only for half a second. I guess the phone doesn't have enough juice to power a SSD. I haven't tried putting it in an enclosure that supports external power though.

Buy a SATA to USB converter, and connect the USB one to your phone.
Then you connect the power connection of your SSD to your PC, start up your PC and it must work

I tried that. It seems sata to USB converters are not supported by galaxy either.
I have a stock 2.3.4 SGII, rooted.
Sata2USB works, as long as the phone doesn`t have to power the device. If I use one of those USB cables that has 2 connectors on one end (1 is for additional power) and let the PC power the USB device, the phone works perfectly with external HDDs.
I haven`t tested NTFS yet, but it works perfectly withg FAT32, ext 2/3/4, either on usb drives or external HDDs.
The only problem is that non-FAT32 partitions must be manually mounted.
Is there any Custom ROM for Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G supports NTFS or EXT3?
[24.09.2011][ROM][3G][P7500][EUR] BroodComb XXKI1 V2 supports NTFS or EXT3/4?
why is there no answer to this?? is it because there's an answer somewhere else??
for which question there is an answer? I searched but I coulnt found.
I know that pershoot's kernel has this support( it says so)
But I could'n get any results. I am using overcome ROM with Pershoot's kernel, there is something to do with cifs for this. But unfortunately I couldnt find my way out with this part. Too complicated, so I asked if there is ROM that supports this file systems without doing something extra.
no external hard drive support
i might be wrong, but as far as i can tell there is no external hard drive support, i am pretty sure there is nowhere near enough power to get the drive going. it will support flash drives up to 32 GB that are formatted as ntfs. you best bet is to simply do a network share, or better still get a wireless hard drive.
Maybe we could use an active USB HUB and an external HDD or with the right external powered HDD. I tried the external drives too, but of course not enough power, and when connected my powered external HDD reader it said the disk is empty (I use Linux and ext4 everywhere, maybe it had problems to read that) - but meanwhile the device started to work strangely, I had to reboot on the end. I am also interested in this question
I've used an externaly powered hub. FAT32 worked (80GB drive). NTSF did not (500GB drive). Pershoot's kernal says NTSF support, but clearly not for external drives.
I'm not trying to connect an external HDD. I have a 32 GB USB flash memory formatted NTFS, I couldnt understand how to use Cifs manager, and I couldnt understand how insmod command works.

Hi all.
Please i need help reading ntfs partitions with my SG3. First of all the main question: It's possible to read and write a USB Pendrive or HDD with SG3?
I have tried NTFS Mounter without luck. A 2.5'' HDD shows power but nothing happens. A USB Pendrive is recognized by SG3 but it asks me to erase the USB Storage.
Thank you very much.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik the S3 does not bring native support for the ntfs-3g driver.
However since it has the Fuse kernel-module it would (should) not be that difficult to actually get it to work.
It brings out-of-the-box support for OTG USB-adapters and seems even to be able to handle USB-hubs with several usb sticks connected.
But, as said, not NTFS; only exFat/Fat32 and Linux filesystems such as EXT2/3/4.
I was able to use a script and ntfs-3g on my SG2 and it could read ntfs without problem problem. Anyone here has tried to do the same with a SG3?
hello there xda.. i wanted to ask whether there is any kernel for htc one x+ international version that supports ntfs file format coz i was trying to mount an ntfs formated usb but it was not able to recognize it.. i tried to mount through the paragon app available on play store but nothing worked for me.. i am currently on stock 4.2.2 rom with stock kernel and rooted phone..
i also tried to mount an external hdd but it too didnt worked which is my main concern.. power not not the problem coz i used a usb 3.0 y- cable to connect it so i think its a kernel issue because my s4 mounts the same hdd and as far as i know its kernel suppots ntfs... any help plzzzz!!!!
