Hi Guys,
i have the Tab S 10.5 and rooted it.
No i tryed to get a NTFS HDD to run. So i installed Paragon NTFS ... and i have a external HDD with own power adapter. Furthermore i bought a USB - HUB also a own power adapter. The Paragon app find the harddisk an i can click on mount, but nothing happened even if i try to click on automatic mount or own manual folder choose. It is doing something, say that the HDD is mounted, but in the menue of Paragon, it is declared as unmounted. The same in StickMount, it says the HDD is mounted to folder XY, but there is nothing inside .
Is anyone able to mount external HDD's?
NTFS isn't supported officially. I had to format my microsd card into exfat to get it to work.
Stickmount should work - did u let it download the files when you first run it?
Hm yes it downloaded the files and now if i click on mount, it do it but in the folder there is no file from the harddisk, i tried it with a 1tb and 3tb disk.
Furthermore i can check and repair the disks and the tool is saying everything is fine, but i cannot se anything in the folder where it is mounted.

Tried with my Ntfs flash drive - same on stock and stickmount. Formatted to exfat, works on both.
Guess Samsung changed something that broke stickmount as well.

I got my NTFS drive working using Paragon_NTFS for non-rooted mounting and then opened it with Total Commander. Going the Paragon rooted way didn't work for me either.

Doesn't the app require root?

Paragon the app does require it. But the company Paragon also developed a plugin for Total Commander. I was going to post the link but I'm under 10 posts for the forum so I can't.
Anyways just search "USB plugin for Total Commander" or Paragon and that all should come up. You need Total Commander as well but it does not require root.

Hi all !!
As i know, Xperia S has a build-in memory. I had unlock bootloader and install the ka room. In this room has a SD card mount feature.
Using this app to connect my phone to PC, my PC will recognize my phone as a USB.
The problem is i can not copy any file more than 4GB to my phone. Because of the partition is as FAT32, not NTFS.
So how can i copy a large file (more than 4GB) to my phone ????
You'll have to reformat the partition or split the file.
It's a known limitation of FAT32.
Why do you need a thread for this?
You can try format to NTFS, but your device can become buggy
Use a external hdd that is formatted in ntfs! With a usb otg (on the go) adapter ofc...

err.. i dont think the phone cant read ntfs (YET )
i've to make two partitions in my 16 gB UFD, so the phone can recognize it. i think the ability to read ntfs partition is done in the kernel, and none of the kernel for SXS done this (YET )
so: use hjsplit (or any archiver) if it's only for storage... or re-encode it if it's a video player.
Hi friends,
Im using western digital Hard disk 1tb, when i tried to connect it to S3 via OTG,it doesnt recognise the Hard disk,
but no problem with pendrives and mp3 players...

normally it supports fat and ext filesystems but if you want to connect ntfs devices you have to root your phone first then install ntfs mounter.
**** be carefull if you root your phone ,OTA updates wont install anymore which i am stuck between these two and i chose not to root the phone
another solution is that you convert the external hard filesystem to EXT and connect it to phone

ntfs mounter just kept crashing everytime I tried to connect my hdd
hey after flashing cm10.1, I cannot able to detect my usb drive. It's neither shown in sdcard/0/extStorages, nor in ESExplorer usb drive after granting super user permissions. I could able to connect my tab to pc using mtp but usb is a no go. Thanks in advance...

I got it....Actually its my mistake... I didnt check my usb is in ntfs format.... So I converted into Fat and I got it...
By the way is there any method to connect the usb drive with ntfs forrnat.. if it does then I hope we can connect our external hard disk too... that would be great...

for ntfs filesystem, maybe you need tools like paragon ntfs or ntfs mounter.
if you need storage for files files greater than 4go, you could also use ext4 file system which are usable with windows PC.
thanks

Just for the heck of it I tried the Paragon NTFS/HFS download in the Play Store today to see if NTFS read/write would work. The app needs root, and of course we thankfully have that. I had a Seagate USB 3.0 drive formatted NTFS and connected it. Since Android auto mounts on the Mojo, it auto mounted as NTFS read only. I had to unmount it, and then re-mount it with the Paragon app and choose an alternate mount point (just created a folder called "NTFS" and mounted it) and I can confirm that I can read and write to the drive. Moving files, deleting files, and copying files all worked just fine. Just a heads up. I am sure there will be a better, more translucent way of doing this down the road, but for now there does exist the possibility. I wonder if anyone knows how to stop Android from auto mounting drives when plugged in?
I confirm that your method works, thanks!
Although I could have lived without the writing option enabled, it sure is nice being able to delete files I don't need on the fly.
I found that stock rom sucks in regards RW for external drives and doesnt allow it in exfat or NTFS the solution for me and others was installing CM12 rom instead of stock, now my drive has normal RW funtion without having to use an app to mount it
not I can use my 5TB drive
Vzw phone so no root access. Note my phone is a Play version.
Solid Explorer, the new one, works and shows path of : /mnt/media_rw/0EB0-0FF1. It also asks for permissions and you can successfully grant them. Yet you cannot see this folder/drive while exploring /mnt. It creates it's own shortcut and browsing is fine that way..
Neutron sees the drive and tries the get permissions but you never get to grant them.
Google Player (stock), Player Dreams, Jetaudio, Hiby and Kamerton do not see the drive at all.
Has anyone had success with any player accessing OTG drives?
I'm having the same problem, I couldn't access my NTFS formatted stick with neither using stickmount nor the Paragon app.
After reformatting my stick to FAT32 it's mounted by the system but only accessible and usable by the integrated android file manager.
I now tried total commander and the Paragon plugin and this way you can access files and play them in your standard player and it's even able to load subtitles to a movie but this way it's not even mounted as separate device anymore and therefore not visible to anything.
I'm using the TurboZ kernel and already wrote the creator about the NTFS problem.

I take it you are still on MM.
I found some better filers but still no players.
MM is a tricky one for Dev's to get OTG right. I read many stackoverflow comments, hence the shortage of apps. I think N might be worse.
See here and other recent post of mine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3533577
Yes I'm still on MM
It's not the file managers fault but more that there's no reliable/functioning way to actually mount an NTFS or even FAT32 OTG stick in a manner that it's easily visible for apps and such under marshmallow.
I tried a few of your suggested apps but only x-plore and "file manager by scavengers" offered an access to the USB stick prompt but didn't actually display it then (probably because of NTFS) or offer a real mount option so they are not helping with my problem but thanks anyway for the help/suggestion.
Actual mounting isn't supported under marshmallow anymore (as far as I found out) so USB OTG is pretty useless now because I don't want to use a file manager to access the files and hope it's able to combine the video with the subtitle file.

Right no hard mounts anymore.
But I use xfat and all app suggestions do work. FX is best but it does not let you use all the app on your phone. But these are Dev growing pains.
I actually just managed to mount it like it used to with stickmount but with an app called "USB OTG helper" by "Ray of light"
I tried it before and it gave me the error that it couldn't create the folder where it wanted to mount the stick so it didn't work but now after installing it again it worked flawlessly.
I suspect it's because I used the "external SD card full access" option from the xposed module "installeropt" because now it didn't write any error messages and worked as expected even with an NTFS USB stick.
