It sounds like all you have left to do is download (root) StickMount from Play store. That's all I had to do. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
I think my cable do not have 4 and 5 pins connected

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."
Hello guys so here is the issue

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.

Hi
Somehow when i connect a 16GB USB stick to my note 3 via an OTG cable it shows
1. USB connector connected
2. USB mass storage connected
then immediately
3. USB mass storage removed safely
so i cannot see anything from my USB device connected via an OTG cable
for instance my 16GB sandisk USB stick is not mounted anymore
it used to work with 4.3.xxx but not with the latest update of 4.4.xxx
also Air Droid can't write anymore so it's useless
my USB stick is ntfs formatted, would that be an issue?
i have Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ installed but it says it has no root access, i have the stock rom and not rooted. it used to work with 4.3 but now with 4.4 it does not work any more
thank you

NTFS will not work on android. Format your usb to exFat or fat32, or read this
http://blogs.bu.edu/mhirsch/2013/12...r-sharing-usb-flash-thumb-drives-and-usb-hdd/
actually i cannot format my flash, it's full and i don't want to loose the data
thanks anyway
Erhm copy files to PC,format stick and copy back The files?
Respect!
thanks, that would work if i'd had a computer with me. i'm away from home and was hoping i can mount my usb stick. is there a solution that does not require root access?

Not that i know of.
You can try to install the USB Host Diagnostics and check what is happening, on this app the root is optional.
i have no doubt that the USB works but the ntfs file system cannot be mounted directly by the OS so it unmounts it immediately after connection.
so my question still remains, is there a way to mount an ntfs file system without having root access?
thanks
Can anyone confirm that OTG works with TWRP? As in I can install from OTG flash drives like the Kingston MicroDuo 3C or SanDisk OTG Dual USB 3.0 all while still remaining encrypted?
No Idea about encrypted since I have unencrypted since I got my device. I can say that TWRP works with OTG. I have not backed up to the device yet. I always flash and back up to OTG. I have also succesfully restored from it as well. I use a USB Type C OTG cable and 128gb USB flash drive.

Ok thanks! I guess I'll just have to try it when I get the drives. Hopefully it works.

Odd. I can't backup or restore anything for my OTG. My OTG USB has a mini usb, so I use the USB Type-C to USB standard-A adapter from Google.
It always shows on TWRP that my OTG has like 175 MB or something extremely small. never shows the files I have. I have reason to believe that the OTG being detected isn't my OTG at all. This is because it showed an OTG with 175 mb even when I never had it plugged in.
Thoughts?

Make sure you format FAT32 or will not be recognized.

Most likely your drive has a small FAT32 partition that you did not realize and the rest is not FAT32.
Encrypted or not at this point is moot.
With no microSD, unless I tell you, you won't know.
You can backup, restore, copy to/from using the computer utility.
OTG works encrypted or not.
