Using StickMount and Paragon exFAT, NTFS, and HFS+ apps, I can mount 2TB NTFS hard drives, 64GB NTFS Flash Drives, etc.
When I try to mount any iPod I have tried so far, I get the error "Damaged USB Storage" in StickMount. I can mount the iPod as storage on the Nexus 7, as well as the Galaxy S4 with no issues.
It's just the the Note II seems to be incompatible for some reason.
I tried Perseus kernel, as well as SaberKernel on Beans build 7 as well as Beans build 20.
I will try AOSP.
Any ideas?
It does the same thing on Eclipse build 3 with Matrix kernel.
What gives?
*UPDATE* It seems that the Note II hates the iPod. I even Rockboxed my iPod 6G. I am unable to mount the iPod storage to the phone at all. It's weird that the GS4 reads it just fine.

My 240GB iPod makes a damned sweet self-powered hard drive. If I could get the thing to mount to the Note II, then I would use it for media storage. It is a bummer it won't mount.
There has got to be others out there with a USB OTG cable, Note II, and an iPod who can test it out...

OK... seems that no one knows how to do this... I am running VEGAn best 5.1
BETA 5 changes:
* NTFS support (this gives us the ability to mount drives formatted NTFS which is popular on Windows machines…. Larger File Support)
So how would I mount an external NTFS drive ??????

I don't know about Vegan (still on stock TNT), but with stock TNT, you plug the FAT32-formatted drive in, and it appears under /usbdisk. Have you tried plugging your drive in (the USB port under the rubber cover on the side of the Gtab) and then looked at /usbdisk?

P.S. For your FAT32-formatted drive, make sure that there is only ONE FAT32 partition on it. I think that there was another user who wasn't able to see his drive, but found a hidden partition on the drive (not sure, I don't think he responded definitevely).

Since I originally posted I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS since 5.1 is suppose to support this now. I do try to find the drive under usbdisk but is does not show up... I am quessing we probably need to create a new mount point for the hard drive but I have no clue how to do this on Android.

Hi,
Sorry that I won't be able to help you on that, since I'm not on Vegan ...
Probably need something like:
mkdir /mnt/ntfs
mount -t ntfs /dev/xxxxx??? /mnt/ntfs
though, I would have thought that vold would've automatically taken care of it.
Good luck,
Jim
how do i figure out what goes after /dev/(right here)

zpad works
zpad v2.2 rom works great with my usb 500gb fat32 maxtor. its mounted at sdcard/usbdisk1
I had the same problems with mounting a external hard drive. Formatted to fat32, plug in correctly, disk led's light up, surely it must be working?
But wait, it works fine on the computer, why not the G tab? So what gives?
For me the usb port on my G tab does not put out enough power to run the drive up to 100%. It's all about amperage, and I found that my G tab did not output enough milliamps @ 5 volts to make the drive read / write. Some drives use less, some more, just depends on what you have. If you have a external powered hard drive that shouldn't be a problem. If your drive is trying to operate solely on a usb host, then it may / may not work reliably.
Anyways that's my G tab / hard drive experience and I use external powered drives with no problems.
(hint) If your drive is making a slight clicking sound when plugged in to the G tab then you probably have same problem I did.

Does anybody know the maximum current supplied by the GTab's USB host port?
My 2.5" 500 GB External came with only a short (single) usb A to usb mini cable.
And it gets powered up fine from every laptop/netbook I have tried. They have always displayed 500 mA max current for each port.(when I look in Windows Device Manager, USB Root Hub).
Can the G-Tab supply up to 500 mA from it's USB host port??
I want to make sure it will work on a GTab before I buy it.
i tested my gtab and i get 488ma out of my usb port. that is the max i can pull. It's the same when charging or not.

Old thread but this is EXACTLY what I was looking for when I registered here. I have TONS of 16gb and 32gb USB drives, SDHC cards, microSD cards, a few USB thumbdrive adapter's for the SD cards....I watch movies on my gTab from these various drives but I wanted to buy a larger external HDD. Didn't know if I needed a self powered one or if the USB port on the gTab would power it alone.
Looks like I'm buying an external HDD with a power cord! Too bad my 2tb one I have now is formatted to NTFS and has A LOT of data on it already......

Supposedly you can, however, in order to accomplish this, first the external HDD would have to be formatted in FAT32, or possibly EXT2/3/4; something which is natively recognized by the 7.7 Also, since the USB adapter only supplies a minimum amount of power (150mA I think), the HDD would have to be externally powered, either by its own power adapter, or by connecting through a powered USB hub (assuming the hub also has enough power to run the HDD).
It didn't recognize my external 500GB NTFS drive. I have a spare that I can format with FAT32 and will try that just for grins if I get a chance tomorrow. Otherwise, meh.
Update: I tried this with an external USB (self-powered) drive formatted in FAT32 and I got an error message saying "High Powered USB Device Connected: Cannot connect to...."
Not a big deal at all, really.
Just received a Corsair 128GB flash drive(Flash Voyager) today that I bought on Ebay for $45 . It was formatted to exFAT,which is Microsoft's newest file system,rather then FAT32 and allows files bigger then FAT32's 4GB max file size.
It works great on the 7.7 so exFAT is supported and even plays HD movies and lets you transfer files to the 7.7 and back.
I already had the 30pin to usb adapter.
Hi,
Great news. Thank you 7harper
Could you please post the ebay link from which you've purchased the key. I can't even find 128GB flash drive for this price. Thx !

How did you manage to get the 7.7 to read/write exFAT formatted disk? I can't seem to make it work here. Tried both Asian and European ROMs but in vain. Can anybody else who has a USB connector with an exFAT stick confirm this?
Thanks.
Hey...
Just wanted to let everyone know that a USB A Male to A Female won't really help much...
For a matter of fact it won't do anything... it's like an elongation cable of 8cm which is crap!!! I guess I wanted to get a Female-Female but came out a bit of a retard...
I wanted to use the 30pin to USB cable, connect it to a Female-Female converter and shove my other USBs on the other end.... wondering if that will work....
Anyhow that's just my 2 dimes...
have a nice day,
SK.
exFat doesnt work on micro sd cards in built-in slot so I guess it won't work on any other medium...

Have you actually been able to do that with a powered USB harddrive? I got an error message saying "high powered device" when I plugged one in to the Tab.

I have tried three different external hard drive assemblies ( one desktop, two portable) all with external power applied. One of the portables always triggers the High Power Device shutoff. So I think it depends on the drive box interface electronics.

Just want to reconfirm that the OEM Samsung USB & SD Connection Kit for Samsung Galaxy Tab will work for our 7.7?
I read that it is not supported for the original 7.0 and the 7.7 tablet - directly from the Samsung store.
Would be really sweet if it does work.
What I want to do is have it read my SD memory card.
Anyone?

I got it! I've tested it out and everything seems to be working out. However, I can't seem to get my 128 GB SD to be recognized with the SD Adapter.
It comes up as "SD card blank or unsupported filesystem"
I've formatted the card to NTFS and ext4 to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Edit: I got Fat32 to work with my 128 GB SD card. With the limitation of Fat32, I won't be able to transfer a file larger than 4 GB. Anyone how to get around this issue?
As stated by someone else earlier in this thread, try formatting with exFAT.
Is there anyway to connect 2.5 external HD?
I mean, using external power kinda defeat the purpose...

yes, also to use a ps3 controller wired (no root required) to move in the menus or use on emulators.
also you can use pc keyboards and mouses. Hds and a lot of stuff including usb hubs to connect more stuff at the same time.

It will get automatically recognized, mounted and scanned.
Even the file manager will automatically run and open the files.

That is for automatic mount only. Other file systems will work and will be recognized, but have to be manually mounted.
Using the USB OTG adapter I have been able to use my Galaxy S II and S III with:
- Logitech Wireless rumblepad adapter
- 500Gb, externally powered HDD (NTFS file system)
- flash drives up to 32Gb in FAT32, NTFS, ExFAT (S III only), ext2 and ext3
- connect the S III to the S II, using the S II as removable media
- etc

It's supposed to only support OTG-certified devices. All other devices may or may not work. Especially hard drives have lots of differences in terms of power consumption so one model may work while another does not. Powered disks work fine all the time.

That's because it's NTFS. Stock ROM does _NOT_ provide support for NTFS, only for Fat32!
If you want NTFS support you need to either root and manually load the NTFS module or use a kernel with built-in NTFS support such as Siyah.

I guess you are mistakenly consider Dual-Role support instead of real OTG. There were / are no USB OTG certified device on the market.
I did an experiment to hook up Note 3 with external hard drive (NTFS) with external power.
Yes, Note 3 sees the "mass storage", but the FS is not supported.

Yeah, NTFS isn't supported by 4.3. You'll need to format your HD as Fat32 or some other formats i can't quite remember in order for it to be visible.
Exfat should work OK..

So I bought a meenova, and I bought a 64GB SDXC card.
Confirmed both these accessories work by plugging it into a HTC One(M7) and it was glorious. My HTC however, only likes exFat it seems. Freezes when I plug in a FAT32 formatted device.
Plugging the Meenova into my Nexus 9 though doesn't work. I understand it's because the device does not automount the partition, but the usual "Nexus Media Importer" app doesn't work because it doesn't support exFAT.
Has anyone had any luck with ES File Explorer not rooting? It says it has OTG support but doesn't actually read anything I try to plug in. OTG Helper Lite FC's on me. I'm tempted at this point to just root the device and get stickmount up, but then I would miss out on all the OTA's and not be able to keep myself away from obsessively flashing custom rom's. Has anyone else had any luck using OTG devices? exFAT in particular. Meenova or other microSD readers?
