Not seeing what the problem is? That is what the phone always says when you connect anything in the micro USB slot that isn't a charger. Happens all the time when I plug in my OTG cable.

Might need something like this... Micro USB 3.0 OTG Cable External Power Supply
Current Device : HTC One MAX / Retired HTC Devices: DNA, Rezound, Thunderbolt, Incredible, Eris

[Q] Atrix as USB host

I have OTG USB host cable for Motorola Xomm. Is there any way this coulb be used with Atrix??
Don't take my answer as 100 percent. I want to say no dice on the usb host deal, but the hd dock and lapdock have usb ports for key/mouse. I think somebody mounted an external hdd but had problems. Hopefully somebody else can shed more light on this.
I voided my warranty.
It'll need a 5vdc power supply

Yeah there is a post on this already but the answer is that you just need a powered USB hub and that cable and you can use it as a host.

I know nothing about Samsung, but my Atrix works fine as USB host. All you need is powered USB hub and cheap OTG adapter. I bought one from Dealextreme (sorry, can't post links). It works great with any USB keyboard or mouse or FAT formated memory drive.

gr8... actually i have one but my OTG is not working so hoping cable is faulty...
BTW I am on EU leak currently..
I'm wondering too. Don't have a cable yet, but no sense in buying one if it doesn't work.
It won't work only with OTG cable.
You need a HUB (generic USB 2.0 hub) plus a cable between the OTG and HUB that powers both the HUB and the Phone externally.

Maybe this thread helps you more as it is the original one specific to OTG cabling on GB which should work also on ICS (It would be nice if anyone could confirm this).

On the 1st post find direct link to the findings.
Have a look around or ask something if you need.
I received my OTG cable today. As has been stated previously, it works but only when run through a powered hub.

That's great news. Do you think external hard drives (1tb and up) will work as well?

My Note II has usb host, so i think the One X was acting as the usb drive for the OP not the host.

Oh is that so? Anyway, I heard that the HOX+ supports external keyboards and mice via the micro usb port, would you happen to know if the HOX+ has usb otg and can act as usb host to read my flash disks?

If the one x supports it, no doubt ours will, we may have to wait for custom kernels before we can use it properly though.

At 1:20 the HTC lady pretty much confirmed USB OTG.

No. The device's board isn't capable of supplying USB peripherals with power.

What exactly is your problem? Do you mean mobile data or storage like sdcard? Also, you definitely need to plug int into a PC for rooting because you need to install a custom recovery via fastboot (due to S-ON, there is no other way).
Plugged my phone into my pc and it will not be seen by HTC manager, windows or any other software I tried everything and I can't get the data transfer through usb to work I can get it to charge but that's it
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
OK, try reinstall the drivers. If that won't work, try to insert sdcard directly to PC via adapter, or try using adb / fastboot from Linux.
I did a fresh install of hyc manager tried several usb cables I use to plug it in and my computer would show desire x but I get nothing at all now from any usb port or any cable can't see the port on the phone beeing damaged as its carging so thinking the board has gone insane

What kind of USB port are you using? USB 3.0 or USB 2.0? USB 3.0 is known to cause issues. Also, did you try another port or another computer maybe?
Usb 2 , 3 offical htc cables and 2 diffrent computers all refuse to see the data transfer mode only charging
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
Did you get ADB or fastboot working (as dansou901 suggested)? Fastboot is the last resort, if thats not working from atleast linux you may need to use your warranty.
Yeah... If it won't work like @CurtisMJ suggested, the usb port on your phone might be broken...
