USB doesnt mount

I just recieved a USB adapter that I bought from eBay ( http://www.ebay.ca/itm/200864679193?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 )
I have tried connecting a few USBs but none of them are working. It just says USB Connector connected. When i connected a logitech controller it gave me an error message that it was a high powered device. Not sure if there is something wrong with the adapter or if I need to instal additional drivers/apps to help with the mounting, or maybe change a few settings.
Can anyone verify if they can mount USBs on JB?

Nvm, I got it to work. Found a clue on a different seller's ebay page.
All you need to do is connect the cable to your device and restart it. Once it restarts, take off the cable and connect the desired USB device and connect the cable back.
Also, make sure your USB is formatted as FAT32.
This is what I found on the web:
" By default the Android device supports the FAT32 format only. If your flash drive is in NTFS
format, it will be seen as a blank drive.
For the first time to use the OTG cable, please connect the cable with your phone and restart the
phone. (Before you use USB devices to connect your phone, please firstly connect the USB
devices with the cable, then connect your phone.)
When you need to change USB devices, please unplug the OTG cable from mobile phone firstly,
then change USB devices, and plug in your phone."

Usb 3.0 port differs from 2.0 see the usb port of note 3 so it might be a problem to include it....since some HDD consume more power they will not work..ive tried with OTG and a trancend usb 3.0 8gb pendrive and it worked flawlessly

yeah i know the port differs but since the soc is same i think we can solder a usb 3.0 with some tweaking. anyways i provided hdd with esternal power with the help of a cable i modified. also did you tried any 16gb pendrive? i think size may have been a problem too?
also pls can you try an external hddso that i woud be certain that this is not a issue with my phone only. thanks in advance
anybody else getting same issue? (notification saying usb safe to remove..)

All you have to do is install Paragon NTFS & HFS+ on your phone & grant it superuser permission. Now use ES File Explorer to go to the /mount directory & you will find your hard disk partition there.
Sometimes you may get an error while trying to access the files in the secondary partitions. For this issue you will have to manually unmount those partitions in Paragon app and mount them to a location of your choice.
Hope this helps.

OTG and OnePlus Two

Hello,
I'm on OPT A2003 on oxygenOS 2.1, i bought an otg cable.
I put on otg in parameters and my cable (with a usb key) stay undetected.
I tried on stock rom, root rom with stock kernel and with Ak kernel.
I already tried Stickmount Apps to test and nothing.
Someone has otg work?
Could you help me?

The same. Cable and adaptator are from Aukey
1 sur AUKEY® Adaptateur USB C vers Micro B femelle 2.0 Connecteur USB 2.0 Type-C mâle vers Micro B femelle pour Apple Le nouveau MacBook, Google Le nouveau [ASIN : B00W6TQWUA]
1 sur AUKEY® Câble USB C vers Micro USB femelle, Câble USB 2.0 Type-C vers Micro USB femelle pour Apple Le nouveau MacBook, Google Le nouveau Chromebook Pix [ASIN : B00W6VLI98]
I wrote to seller and the answer was that the product is not compatible

i am on OxygenOS 2.1.0 and although the usb stick i connected to my OP2 does work...it does not show in settings/storage, my device is rooted and i have 'es file explorer installed' with root access enabled and root explorer/show hidden files enabled in settings/tools within the app
this app see's the storage ok and registers that it is there...i ordered and use the 'usb'C - micro usb' adaptor from oneplus and an OTG cable that came with my sixaxis controller gamepad holder...it's a very odd system they seem to have adopted for the OP2...and i do not like it at all...without a file explorer this storage seems inaccessible by the system...yes you have to go into settings/storage and enable OTG storage for it to work,but the least they could have done was actually show this storage in the settings/storage part of our devices
i was able to move a photo as a tester and it moved to the usb stick ok using the file explorer i will do more test's to see if we can directly add files like photo's after taking then with the camera...but unfortunately even our camra app seems to have limited settings like storage location

No other news?

Hi, I am using The OPT with their original adapter and the OPO otg cable and it recognizes my jump-drive but it will not show in settings-storage, but you must check the otg option at the end of the storage in settings. if somebody knows how to eject it properly please let mi know because I can`t find the option for this. thank you.

For me it only works in combination with the official OP Type-C to micro usb connector. No need for stickmount as the storage gets detected by my filebrowser instantly (ES FileExplorer).
And ofcourse, you need to enable OTG in storage settings.
Also would like to know how to eject removable storage, because now I get an error message when unplugging.

Is there any way of enabling usb otg on generic usb type c (male) to type a (female) adapters? Afaik.. Onlt the original oneplus usb to micro usb works for usb otg support.. Any kernel that can help with this?

I've bought USB-c to otg adapter and I am unable to use my pendrive. At least from the second post I know from what brand they were stealing technology. I will try to report this issue somehow
https://www.petycjeonline.com/petyc...-yu-Se1rbAW0oZgeCWRsbjQOmuzxs4RZazqMGnpXsOfis
And this ISN'T USB-c... This is pseudo-USB and should be claimed in the description. Pfu!
