I'm not sure whether I'm having hardware issues, but USB OTG function doesn't seem to work when I'm trying to connect a flash drive to my phone (XT1521). I've tried this on both CM13 (August Nightlies onwards) and RR 5.7.4. Previously on stock rom (6.0), USB OTG works okay when it comes to flash drives. Nowadays, my phone doesn't seem to detect flash drives, though it could detect other input devices, such as mouse. Please note that the flash drives are using FAT format. Is there anyone who's having the same problem? I'm really wondering whether this is an issue with CM-based ROMS for Surnia, or it's just my phone. Any helpful info would truly be appreciated.
well, Ive used cm13 and have been able to connect the pendrive using otg and was able to view the files. Try this=>
download es file explorer and then slide for the side menu and u will find a tab named "local", click on it and u will find the usb device connected. Click on the name of the usb drive and u will be to access it..
Note: Ive tried numerous apps but none except es file explorer could detect the usb device.

I've just downloaded ES File Explorer and did what you've just said. Sadly, there's nothing. :'( I do see the point of using ES, as some USB Drives seem to be rather picky with file explorers, even with my Xperia M back in the days. Is there any prompt appearing in your notifications drawer when you plug in your drive? I get nothing. ?

I was always able to access my USB in CM-Based ROMs though ES File Explorer.

Hi.
I have a USB OTG cable for my 7500 running latest CM9 nightly and keyboard & mouse works very well with it. When I connect a USB stick I get a notification that a device is connected but I can't access it in a file manager (it look like it is empty, but it's not...)
Is there something more I need to do to get this work?
Good question!
On stock rom filemanager pops up imidiatly after connect an usb pen drive, on ICS i only get it working with "Root Manager" a file manager that can see root of filesystem and let me browse through "\USBDRIVE" folder or "\MNT\USBDRIVE".
I've got it working with this app -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount
The situation is this: at work the computers are heavily locked down. By that I mean that you can not download and install anything, no cd rom access and no usb access. they run win xp (some of you may be too young to have heard of this)
I have recently discovered, however, that when i plug my galaxy s3 in, the pc sees it as a digital camera, and i can access every folder on the internal sd card through windows explorer. i can then transfer any file i like to the computer
This never happened on my g note, nexus s, or any other device.
Now, I can only confirm that the above works on xpower 2.5 ics custom rom. when I changed to hypergalaxy jb rom, there was no access to my phone via the pc.
Can anyone help me to understand how and why this works, and how i might use a hack to enable any usb device on such a locked down pc?

No since they are work computers and are supposed to be locked down attempting to hack them will just get you fired since the IT department will be watching everything or notice it the next time they need to do work on that computer so if you value your job don't attempt this.

Some devices just need their own drivers installed before they can connect as normal USB/MTP storage devices.
Hi,
MTP and PTP are full of problems... so I want to have the old reliable USB Massive Storage (UMS) enabled in this phone, Is there any ROM with this feature?
I'm with stock and I would prefer not to unlock the boot loader unless I can get that feature with a ROM.
I tried this app with no success
I want any PC to detect my phone as a USB flashdrive containing only the sdcard files, not any partitions like system or data or such.
thanks

Nope. UMS is dead as far as Google is concerned.
what do you mean by that? I know some ICS ROMs with UMS (but for other phones) so it's no dead dead dead and doing a quick search there are some people using ums un Jelly bean
What I mean is, UMS support isn't the way google wants people to do things.
It's a kludge when google wants phone memory not be segmented for apps vs media and such.
I've found MTP works very well on this phone compared to others i've owned.
It's a partitioning issue on any phone that comes with ICS natively.
mmm may be I wasn't clear about that, sorry,
I only want any PC to detect my phone as a USB flashdrive containing only the sdcard files, not any partitions like system or data or such.
And we are saying it isn't going to happen. What trouble are you having with mtp? Maybe we can help.
Ok, thanks, my problem is the following
I have 3 windows machines and in all of them the following happened
> I connected the LGOG to the pc and selected the pc software option in the phone
> Installed the LG software
> The LG software Drive disappeared from "Computer" (as expected I suppose)
> The phone-drive never showed in Computer
> I unplugged the phone and plugged again and selected MTP
> The phone-drive never showed in Computer either
In one of the PCs I got an error while installing the MTP driver, don't know how to solve that, if I try to reinstall the LG software the LG software driver disappears
Also I can't copy files to my phone if I don´t have Administrative access to the PC... that's main the reason I want UMS
Uh oh.
So, if I understand correctly, I'm going to need to install CM in order to use my phone as a thumbdrive.
While I have no problems using MTP, the INSANELY SLOW TRANSFERS are basically going to force me to find another solution.
Great phone, but 2MB/sec on a standard USB 2.0 port just isn't working.
More research, it appears that I'll need to install an FTP server on my phone, or use a wireless data sharing app (sadly not possible in my case as my wireless network is firewall-external to my wired one).
Hey guys,
I have my Galaxy Tab 10.1 a few years now and it's still working great! I've rooted it many times and installed many custom roms on it. So I am very familiar with Odin, clockworkmod etc. Today, I decided to root my tab again to install a custom rom. So first things first, I installed the usb driver for my tab (GT-P7510), it's the Samsung Mobile Usb Driver for mobile phones version 1.4.8.0. After installing the driver I plugged in my tablet but nothing happend, no sound from my PC no new hardware found box, nothing. So I checked the device manager and I don't see anything there, no android adb, no GT-P7510, etc. The computer just doesn't recognize the tab. I tried reinstalling the drivers, rebooting the tablet and the PC, I did a factory reset, wiped cache, etc. Nothing worked. The only 2 things I notice is the charger/usb cable connected sound on my tablet and there's a weird red cross through the battery icon on the lower right side of my screen. Does anyone know if this is a known problem or how to solve it?
Model: GT-P7510 [P4 WIFI]
Android Version: Stock 4.0.4
[EDIT]: I managed to root the tab without the PC using the Iroot app and then I flashed TWRP and with TWRP I flashed Android 5.0. So now I am on Android 5.0!
Thanks!
Is USB debugging on or off, under Settings / Developer options? Try toggling that first.

Thanks for your reply!!
I forgot to mention that I also tried toggling that on and off several times but that also didn't work. However, I managed to root the tab without PC and I installed android 5.0 and its working great! What I also noticed is that there no longer is a red cross through the battery icon when charging but still no USB connection :/

Good thing you could flash I guess you first copied the files you needed to an external SD / USB stick, and then copied those files to the internal storage on the tablet itself?
You could try now under Android 5 is to toggle the same option again in the settings.
Another option is in the Recovery: under mounts and storage, you could try to mount the sdcard / partitions, while connected to your PC. Although you should at least have some confirmation of a connection with the PC, under Windows Device Manager. But it never hurts to try.

Thanks! Will try all the options you mentioned and I'll post whether is works or not!
I solved that issue on mine by replacing the cord. the 30pin cord with these tabs is god awful.
Hi,
I am using a custom ROM on my Moto E 2014(condor). after flashing a Marshmallow ROM, it seems I cannot transfer files from the PC to the phone using ADB. I can see the folders in both Internal as well as external SD card memory when I choose MTP as option for ADB, but as I try to copy a .zip file I get the error "The device has either stopped responding or is disconnected".
I have tried the following steps
1. inserting the USB cable to another USB port.
2. tried to copy to phone's internal memory.
3. re-chose MTP as ADB option.
4. tried to transfer files using PTP as ADB option.
I am running cyanpop v4.5 based on android 6.0.1_r3 and my laptop is on windows 10.
I have been able to do this operation very smoothly before for all lollipop ROMs.
I have Motorola Device Manager installed.
Thanks. :good:
Seems like a rom problem.
Haven't tried that rom yet. I'm gonna flash it today and report back.
Edit : Maybe Rom specific error. Working fine in CyanPop 4.7

not a rom problem.. maybe some driver issue.. works fine some times and others doesn't.
I transferred files after a days gap through USB without any problem on the same rom.
I have checked few MM roms and these type of issues are seen while usimg SD card as internal storage.
