Yes probably, just plug your phone to some flash memory using otg cable and then a new drive should appear with the files inside the flash, and sea if it works.

As you are not giving much information, I am just guessing:
You have to use a USB adapter to connect your device to the phone.
P.S.: As far as I know, you do not need to root your phone in order to access a USB storage device.
Then, how can i access to a storage device,i have kingston 16gb g3. When i connect to s2 nothing happens.
Tnx for help.

OTG support on wt19 lww

Hii guys i recently got to know that lww got otg support
And i tried attaching usb pendrive with otg cable..it keeps saying unsupported usb device attached
I tried usb host controller..there its showing pendrive attached..but no option to open it.Does our lww support usb pendrive with otg cable????
Install custom kernel that support it or custom rom.
Stock LWW has full support for it. No custom stuff needed.
USB flash drives have to be FAT32 format. Also, do not use external hard drives which take power from USB or you might mess up the phone's hardware.

Then what is the use of saying otg support in specs?..if we need hacks to use it

Do u mean i have to format my pendrive in fat32 format from my pc..and then it will show up on my phone's file manager or usb host controller?
Dude reply???
I used OTG cable with LWW
I used custom kernal, but the unsupported USB device found message whenever i connect the pen drive,
Then i found Q5 application in XDA, but now i can't able to find now. Just google it.
Use of this app i connected any pendrive with rootexplorer.

Dude the someguyfromhell saying that pendrives work by making pendrive in fat32 format..so i am waiting for reply from him to confirm the procedure
Calm down, I am not 24/7 online on the forum.
From what I know, then Android only supports FAT32 USB sticks. Yes, you have to format it to FAT32 first on computer and then try again.
Also, you might need another file manager to explore the contents of the USB stick.
Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the app. Try searching on Google.
Dude are u talking about this app?

Just usbotg.apk will not work. Other libs and files are also needed.
Also, stock WT19 requires no modifications, except that app to explore usb sticks.

external HDD to XPERIA

Hi, I want show you as connect external HDD to XPERIA mini pro (SK17i). This HDD is 500 GB, USB 2.0.
I made cable for external supply, but you can use a USB HUB with external power supply (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827217)
AL Mass Storage Manager - application for mounting partition: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=labs.antu.hw.storage&hl=sk
Sorry of my english...
re
Great Work!
i will try it
Does it show in the place where /sdcard/ and /system/ are shown?
nice but app will be use yo view SD/USB1/?
You can change name for mount, so for example you can see HDD/ USB flash disk in - mnt/sdcard/MEDIUM/sda1 .... but you can mounting only in mnt/sdcard folder.
Other connected media you see as sdb, sdc, ...
In application you can see - Base directory
WOW
Incredibly amazing, i wasnt thinking in purchasing the usb adapter cable, but now i think ill have my way with it
Thanks for sharing

You can use the device with the new updated version ICS 4.1.B.0.431? I already have the OTG cable identical to the video, but it only works the mouse or USB keyboard. When I connect a pen drive it does not recognize.
Nice
Where to get this adapter?. link please.. and external power source?. so 2 wires from the hard disk. one into phone for data transfer and one more for power?
I tried connecting USB memory stick, 8 GB 2.0 to my Active.
It connected and that's it. I could not access it thrue Root Browser (payed).

Did you mount partition with AL Mass Storage Manager? If yes, you try other browser manager.

[Q] Can't use usb as a storage device using card reader

Hello, I am having a problem getting my galaxy tab 10.1 to recognize a usb flash drive I have connected via an adapter. I know it works because it detected a wireless mouse I connected to it, and it shows up when I use dmesg or lsusb in the terminal. The thing is that none of the file explorers I've used (Es, Astro) are able to detect the files I have on it. The usb drive is formatted to fat32; would it be more likely to detect it if I formatted it to ext3 or ext4?
Maybe you need to use this?
