I have Samsung Galaxy S2 on stock 4.1.2 ROM and have bought a USB OTG cable. I connect my USB flash drive onto USB OTG cable then connected the cable to my phone and it shows a message USB mass storage is connected. When I open My Files app, I cannot find any way to access my USB. Am I doing something wrong?
Edit: Solved, tried another USB and it worked.

This is about booting a USB connected PC from the 'external SD' on the S2 which I use as an USB stick.
A weird question, but I have my Galaxy always with me. My previous phone a Nokia 5800 I could use as a boot USB stick to boot a PC. With the S2 this trick does not work as when I connect it to the PC and set it into USB mass storage mode (the Android figure turns from green orange) it resets to green when the computer actually reboots. USB debugging is turned ON.
Is there a trick to keep the S2 in mass storage mode while connected to a rebooting PC ?
I would like to know if this is possible too. Have you had any progress on this?
Thanks.

If you have root and CWM recovery, you could "mount" the drive/partition whilst in recovery and connected to PC.

Just a thought (and I'm not sure if this would even work or not), but would an OTG USB cable possibly achieve this given the OTG allows you to connect the SGS2 as a "slave" to a laptop/PC as per this guy's post ? I saw this post/thread in the Accessories section & remembered this thread from earlier today.

Hi,
I've been trying to figure this out for almost a year. I got a cheap Chinese tab with a microusb and a microusb host port. If my rom and kernel have usb otg support, drivers etc. (according to the usb host diagnostics app) why would my usb keyboard and mouse (and usb storage) not work with a nonpowered or even through a powered usb hub? Is there something I'm missing? I've tried stock rom, official update and even a custom rom with usb drivers. So one app gives me S3C usb host missing...and usb host diagnostics says kernel and rom support it...there are drivers which I checked by a root browser. I've tried with nonpowered OTG as well as through a powered usb hub. Nothing works. What else should I have?
Thank you!
EDIT: Found something interesting. If I connect my usb port to power and my keyboard or mouse to the usb host port, then they are detected...but if I disconnect the other port from power they DON'T work. I tried using a powered usb hub on usb host port...does not detect. Is this a problem with usb modeswitch?
WHEN I ConneCt my pen driVE Via otg Cable , firstly it says usb ConneCted and after a seCond usb disConneCted ! what to do??
I'm having an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (running on stock Jellybean 4.1.2) no longer connecting to the PC via USB. It had been working fine up until a few days ago.
When I connect the USB cable, it only charges the phone. It doesn't show that it is connected in MTP mode and no USB options appear in the pull down notification bar. I tried locating the phone on the computer in Windows Explorer and the Device Manager, but it wasn't there at all. There also wasn't any unrecognised device in the Device Manager.
I’ve tried the following:
Using different USB cables. Tried two official Samsung cables, a Belkin charge/sync cable and a generic cable
Plugging into different USB ports on 3 different PCs/notebooks (running on Windows 7/8)
Turning on/off USB debugging mode on the phone
Going into Settings>Wireless and networks>USB utilities. After tapping "Connect storage to USB", it will prompt to connect a USB cable even though it is already plugged in.
Booting the phone in safe mode and connecting the USB cable
Installing the latest version of KIES. I had never used the software before but gave it a try. KIES wouldn't detect the phone
Uninstalling and reinstalling the latest Samsung drivers
Dialling *#7284# for the PhoneUtil options and checking it was PDA mode under the USB option.
Turning off the phone, removing then re-inserting the SIM card and battery
Cleaning the micro USB port on the phone
I have not made any changes to the phone (or PCs), so I'm not sure what has happened for the USB connection to stop working.
Your assistance would be much appreciated.
That is very weird. Are sure you didn't change the USB connection type?

Definitely sure.
I'm wondering if maybe the micro usb port is damaged, even though there's no problems charging the phone.
That is very possible, the port can be damaged in a way that only allows charging.
Hey guys, My micro-usb was damaged so i changed it with a new one... It didn't work and phone was charging instead of Mass Storage or Debugging mode !
I thought its fake and a bad quality micro-usb so i changed it again and still have the same problem.
I have the same computer, same cable and everything is same, even the programs which i installed in both phone and pc are same, but it wont connect to pc.
My moms phone can be connected with my cable.
Ok, before i change the Micro-Usb, it was fine but not charging as good as normal. I mean at least i was able to upgrade or downgrade my android version )
Can anyone help me ? I already did a factory reset and removed the SD card. No lucks ... ( i also tried other cables and other computers, but the problem is ONLY with my damn phone )
I'm running Android 4.0.3 KH3
