USB OTG not recognized - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I flashed Checkrom Revo HD v6 and the latest Siyah kernel. Everything's cool except my SGS2 is no longer recognizing my USB OTG. It worked fine on other SGS2 so it has to be my phone. Is it my ROM or is it the kernel?

Flash a stock kernel and/or stock ROM and find out.

Using Siyah 2.6.13#122 & just checked USB OTG. Hooked up a Lexar 8MB stick with an Xvid movie on it, navigated to /sdcard/usbdisk with file manager (Root Explorer) & stick is mounted r/o as per usual. Video plays fine in native video player, USB OTG works.

Could it be the rom then?

Can someone please confirm if usb host( otg cable) is working in the leaked ics rom?

Can someone please confirm if usb host( otg cable) is working in the leaked ics rom?
I just tried and no dice. Although it does require kernel support also and im running a custom one. I asked chad if he could include usb host support in his next release so we'll see then
So currently usb host doesn't work with any kernel and rom?

I don't know about complete stock. Since I flashed chads kernel and he doesn't have the source yet usb only works for charge. It doesn't work for mass storage. He said when he gets usb working that he'll enable usb host mode on kernel side and we can see then
I can do mass storage via sense on mostly stock ics/stock kernel

What? Can you make OTG at Rom level?

USB OTG needs kernel and rom support. But AFAIK, ICS has OTG support built in, but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Ubuntu 12 on i9300?

Hi just seeing if it is possible to install Ubuntu using the Omega ROM or if anyone has tried it as the stock ROM gives a ' loop device '. So basically anyone know if the Omega ROM is loop-Device enabled please.
Many thanks.

I installed Backtrack (based on Ubuntu) on my Omega V3 rom a few hours ago. No problems at all. I could even hook up my mouse and my keyboard via OTG and use them inside Backtrack.

Used it for ~30 minutes. It can't compete with my dedicated server but it's definitely usable and stable.

Do you know if i can only install an custom kernel which will work with ubuntu for the SGS 3 (loop device)? instead of installing the omega rom?
Doesn't the stock kernel support it? Well, you should be able to flash a kernel with loop support to make it work.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah but which kernel? And will i lose data if I do?
Have you tried running Ubuntu with the stock kernel? Only if it did NOT work, use another kernel. You won't loose your data by doing so. Just look up in the development forum which Kernel Omega uses (I think it was IntraTech's Insecure Kernel), find a download link for your version (e.g. ALE8, 9, D, F) and flash it.

No with the stock kernel it does not work.... sadly
i tried ubuntu 12 with omega v4 but loop devices still not enabled. any suggestions?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I did the same here, i now have root and omega v4.
With orginal script a error that says unable to create loop device.
With latest script it says:
"ubuntu.sh[23]: cut: not found
Error: This script requires root! Type: su
1|[email protected]:/sdcard/ubuntu # su
[email protected]:/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu # sh ubuntu.sh
ubuntu.sh[23]: cut: not found
Error: This script requires root! Type: su
1|[email protected]:/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu #"
I am really getting agritated....
What the hell am i doing wrong?
Only thing i can think of is that member68 got it working with omega 3 because maybe omega 3 has a kernel with loop and omega 4 does not, anyone?
Really appreciate all help!

So you only installed omega v3.0 and backtrack worked?
Not another kernel or something?
I had Chainfire's insecure kernel installed before I installed Omega V3. After that, I switched to V4 and it's still working.

Try clearing cache & Dalvik cache.
Download SD Maid to clean up unnecessary files and folders.
Use Titanium Backup to remove bloatware.

If you feel uncomfortable with CF-Root kernel, flash back stock kernel/ROM or try another kernel ... there are many different custom kernels for our phone here on xda.
Have a look at my kernel / stock ROM tests (link in my signature).

Consider changing the title of your thread to get more help as your problem is most likely not related to rooting. It is related to how android partitions internal memory ( /data, /mnt/sdcard).

Post a screenshot of your battery section in settings.
You could also change governor to "Conservative", to save battery life.

I also got a WD 500 gb and it worked fine whereas I had to use paragon and inside the app mount the drive. You could also try a different kernel, e.g. siyah, that supports ntfs without an app if I am not wrong.

when I first connected the WD I was still on stock kernel, hence I used paragon app to mount the NTFS WD.
right now I am using Siyah 1.8 whereas I did not yet again connect the WD to my phone, I only read that Siyah supports to mount NTFS drives.

[Q] (Answer) Port CM7

Hello to the community, it is my first topic on XDA.
Perform a Port from a CM7 rom (Port) of Team Nexus Optimus Me and the Motorola Atrix CM7 nightly (base).
The port turned successful, the rom booting and works without problems, some minor bug repairable.
But the connection usb does not work, just load, but when I connect the usb, the phone does not show any usb connection and and the computer either.
Anyone know how to fix the usb connection?
greetings to all!: O: Confundido:

Libs come from the ROM for your device. Did you build from ground up or did you use the copy/cut and paste method?

To carry just copy and paste files from one ROM to another. also used a bat file that ends porting the ROM and I believe the flashable zip.

ok, i'm not familiar with the bat file, but i do believe i saw something about a bat file somewhere.
i have limited experience in the world of porting. i build a rom from ground up for the dx (cm7) and had to port it to a working cm7 based off of the kernel configuration. i had copied all my files except lib, etc, bin, and xbin and brought it over to the already working rom. i zipped it up and flashed it and everything works. you could try doing that, but with your project to see if it works
