i don't know if this has been answered already.
How or What application to use in accessing the USB flash drive in NST. I have already update the kernel that support USB host mode and multitouch.
I don't really use this enough to have looked into it more, but to mount a USB drive from a shell:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
mkdir /usb
mount -t vfat /dev/block/uba1 /usb
Yes, it works!! ...Thanks Renate....
Though It has to be mounted manually every time we use it, at least there always a way...
couldn't you install terminal on the nook and run the same command? I don't remember how but isn't there a way to make an icon/shortcut run a command i terminal?? I think it involved a 3rd part app.

Yes you can.
Much easier to use ADB tho - you can cut&paste
I have since bought an OTG cable. I can switch to host mode with the state at a_host. I can't mount my USB drive, and neither does the light go on.
I can get my USB mouse to work.

To mount your USB drive, you should know how to use ADB wireless and get and ADB command shell, and follow those shell commands mentions by Renate on her post above.
@tehriddler:
I forget if you need a special uImage for USB mass storage, I think you do.
Some thumb drives take a bit of current, maybe too much for a Nook.
Try to get it working with a hub first, the light must be on.
Us the UsbMode app, it will show you if the drive is being detected and if the driver is loaded.
Look at the "View USB". If there is a black dot there, then the driver is loaded.
I'm typing the commands into TerminalEmulator. /dev/block/uba1 doesn't exist because I can't mount the drive.
(I don't have ADB wireless/Android SDK at the moment as my computer is away for fixing.)
ETA: How did sugaray get theirs to work? I tried with two different flash drives. Errr for a powered USB hub I'm not stripping the OTG cable and rewiring it like the method you described, and the only powered USB hubs sold in stores are powered by AC.
Is this the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch&hl=en or another specifically for the Nook? Will try again with the app.
No, I meant this UsbMode app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25613941#post25613941
I see - I had the old version of the app that didn't have the View USB button.
Yep the drive has been detected.
MUSB HDRC host driver.
However I the light of my USB drive doesn't go on and I can't find the mount path. There's no /dev/block/uba1
My original response:
The USB system on the Nook is not so hot on "un-detecting" devices.
It could be that the system initially identifies the flash drive, then it drops out.
By a "powered" hub, I just meant a regular hub that would be supplying the current to the flash from a wall wart.
I didn't meant a modified "back powering" hub that would charge the Nook.
In any case, with either powered hub or "back-powered hub" no cables need to be modified.

Oops! I reread your response:

No, that's not being detected at all.
That is the host adapter and will show without anything plugged in.
You should have a treeview with another box under there saying "Mass Storage Device".
There should be a black dot to the right of it to show that the driver is loaded.
I have the treeview with my flash drive's name but no black dot (your screenshot link is broken)
MUSB HDRC host driver
- DT 101 II (my flash drive)
There's a file called 074 in /dev/bus/usb/001 which has been created when the drive was detected.
Oh, then you need mali100's uImage with the USB mass storage support.
(Oops, I guess that XDA thinks a 2nd link is hotlinking. Here's the capture, note the black dots.)
Nope there's no black dot next to my flash drive's name.
I'm using mali100's uImage with Multi-touch and USB host.
Additional USB related drivers (usb-storage, usb-serial ...)

Even with nothing plugged in a "ps" in ADB shell should show (something like) this:
Code:
root 607 2 0 0 c02d00fc 00000000 S usb_mass_storag
Code:
root 595 2 0 0 c02cde14 00000000 S usb_mass_storag
Ok, are you running the flash drive with power from a hub?
Have you tried another flash drive?
I'm using an OTG cable because I don't have a powered hub. I didn't buy a powered hub because they're not portable - they only use AC adapters, no battery-powered ones.
Last night I was reading using my LED light. I changed back to peripheral mode after using OTG mode for powering the reading light. There was 40% battery left (in the pop up shown after switching back to peripheral mode). The next morning, the battery drained and my Nook turned off because the battery was low. Am I supposed to quit the app after I'm done?
I tried a flash drive that I bought last month. This one doesn't work at all. The name doesn't even show up in View USB.
ETA: Same result as the first drive. Its name shows up in View USB but no black dot.
Try with a powered hub.
This is diagnostics, not your preference for portability.

How to enable USB OTG?
I flashed over a CM10 Kang which says that enables USB OTG.
But I cant get a USB to connect.
I have a rooted device with superSU and I am using StickMount app.
You think the OTG cable could be damaged or something?

It's easy, the only stinky part is you have to wipe your Nexus in order to unlock the bootloader (it's a security measure). The instructions are very easy to follow, but if you've never done anything like it you will have to spend a lot of time downloading various things like the Android SDK. Expect to spend at least an hour if you're a total newbie.

All I can tell you is that I rooted, installed [Root] StickMount from the market, plugged in my OTG cable from Newegg with a Fat formatted stick plugged in. It offered to open StickMount, I said yes. SuperSU asked to allow root, I said yes. StickMount mounted it (at a strange path under /sdcard/usbmount or something) and I was able to browse to it with ES File Explorer.
Should be that simple. Tap the notification to unmount and unplug it.

If you are still looking for a way to use USB devices, now there's a app on the Google play store to use without rooting your Nexus 7.
It's called "Nexus Media Importer" from HomeySoft
Here's the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5ob21leXNvZnQubmV4dXN1c2IuaW1wb3J0ZXIiXQ..
ed.:
NON-ROOTED
Like suloch said "Nexus Media Importer" from HomeySoft works!
Tried it with a 32GB FAT USB-Stick, working good.
Couldn't find out how to show all data, but it showed me Pics, Video, Audio and Docs.
I was able to play a movie from the stick and there is an option for copying it to internal storage.
You can also unmount within the app
It didnt show the stick in ES Explorer...
Ohh, it seems you cant copy something from the Nexus7 to the USB-Stick :cyclops:
Thats stupid!
As Stupid as having no HDMI out...
But maybe the app for the USB-Stick will evolve...

Hi - I'm a newbie in the tablet thing. Just got my Nexus 10 a week ago.
Have installed FS file manager - attached a 1 GB memory stick, but file manager can't see it.
Have set file manager to "go up to root" . Entry /mnt doesn't show the USB device.
How do I mount the USB stick ? The LEDs are lit. So its powered on
Have a simple connection cable USB-A female to micro USB-B (what's the point having an USB OTG (on the go) ???
Until now I don't dare to "root" the N10.
I'm the root user (SU) on my puppy linux since years
Any hint is very much welcome

You should purcjase an OTG cable which will provide power to the usb stick. You should purchase Nexus Media Importer which will allow you to read the stick without rooting.

Sooo i was wondering, i want a good tablet that i can also use to download big files from torrents...
But, what i want to know is, can i plug in a usb flash drive into my nexus 7 using an adapter, and download torrent files or normal files directly to the usb flash drive??
please answer
Dont see why not...
Theoretically, yes.
You need to be rooted, have a USB OTG cable, and use StickMount.
When you download the torrent, just set the download directory to the external drive and you're done.

You can try with any, but it is recommended to get a Micro USB to USB OTG cable, such as:

From reading this thread, I think posters have confirmed parts of it (downloading to a stick with the OTG cable, being able to download to the drive w/ uTorrent, etc. The only thing not confirmed is with your specific setup (stock rom). It's possible no one has that exact configuration to be able to confirm that. Seems to me it's worth investing a buck or two in a cable to find that out.
In any event, good luck with your quest. I hope it works for you.
One problem...
The problem is that not all OTG cables are compatible with the Nexus 7.
The ROM isn't a problem, provided you have root access.
You can download to a flash drive, and if not just copy it to the flash drive when download completed.
But, we can't guarantee it, not without using a confirmed cable, which yours isn't.
Try it, and report back and add it ot the list of confirmed OTG cables working with the nexus 7
Peace,
shandy1996
Thanks for the answer, i'm going to paraguay at the next month cause prices here in brazil are ridiculous, and them i'm going to see if it works ^^
Sooo, if the OTG cable work, and flash drive is correctly detected, is there an option in utorrent to download directly to it? and if i download something that isn't a torrent, what would be the best downloader to use that have this function to download directly to flash drive?
Btw: how much time do you think nexus 7 will hold on to the newest games? like the dead trigger 4 etc.
bump?
No it does not. I tried to do that and the speed when a torrent is downloaded directly to the stick is about 1b/sec. If you download normal files it works but not torrent, at least ttorrent and atorrent do not work.
Hello, nookies!
Today I have decided to make an easy-to-follow guide on mounting USB devices (cameras, USB sticks) on your Nooks! Hooray! :good:
DISCLAIMER - I am not responsible if you brick your Nook, break your USB device, the current state of the economy, or why Obama is the president. Please do research on these topics if you would like to know more.
DISCLAIMER 2 - I did not make either of the apps attached, I have merely posted them here for easy access.
So let's get started with some prerequisites!
Prerequisites:
A rooted Nook Touch or Nook Touch Glow with software 1.2.1 installed, as well as Superuser and su binary installed
A terminal app (attached below)
Renate NST's UsbMode.apk (attached below)
A USB host-enabled kernel correctly installed and working (see my signature for a Nook Touch Glow one)
A USB OTG cable
Steps:
Make sure that your Nook is completely charged before continuing!
Make sure that your kernel is definitely working and that USB mode is properly working, too!
1. Open up Renate NST's UsbMode.apk app. Tap the "Off" button. (This will stop your Nook from trying to charge itself from the USB device by turning off the current.)
2. Plug your USB OTG cable (without anything attached to it) into your Nook's USB port.
3. Tap "Host" in the UsbMode app. (This turns on Host mode.)
If the LED beside your Nook's USB port has turned solid green at this point, you are doing well!
4a. For USB devices that have a separate cord (cameras): Turn on the USB device. Plug its cord into its USB port. Now, connect both the device's cord and the device into the open end of the OTG cable that is attached to your Nook.
4b. For USB sticks/drives: Plug the drive directly into the open end of the OTG cable that is attached to your Nook.
5. Tap "View USB" in the UsbMode app. You should see the Nook's main listing at the top, as well as the plugged-in device's listing under it. The device's listing should have a black dot next to it.
Good job! You're doing well so far! :laugh:
6. Now, open up the Terminal Emulator app I attached below. You should have installed it already. When it opens, you should see a dollar sign ($) at the far left of each line.
7. Type in
Code:
su
. Now, instead of a $, there should be a # at the far left of each line.
8. Type in
Code:
mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
. This remounts /system as read-writable.
9. Type in
Code:
mkdir /usb
. This creates a directory called /usb in the root of your Nook's filesystem; it will be used to mount your USB device in.
10a. For USB devices (cameras, etc.), first type in
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/block/uba /usb
. You will get some sort of error message, that's okay. Now, after typing that, type in
Code:
mount -t fvat /dev/block/uba1 /usb
.
10b. For USB sticks/drives. just type in
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/block/uba1 /usb
.
11. If the above commands worked properly, you should now be able to go into a file explorer, navigate to the /usb directory, and boom! You can now manage your USB device's filesystem straight from your Nook!
Unmounting your USB drive
It is important that you unmount your USB device/drive properly before physically taking it out of your Nook. Here's how to do that.
1. Open up your Terminal Emulator app again.
2. Type
Code:
su
.
3. Type
Code:
mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
.
4. Type
Code:
umount /usb
.
5. Type
Code:
rmdir /usb
.
6. Take the whole cord/USB drive out of your Nook with the OTG cable.
7. Open up the UsbMode app again.
8. Tap "Auto". (This turns your Nook's current back to being automatically determined, instead of being off.)
9. Tap "Peripheral". (This makes your Nook return to having the ability to charge from an AC outlet (or whatever).)
10. You have successfully unmounted your device!
Hope this helps all of you guys who want to manage your USB devices on your Nooks! :good:

Reserved for future use/expansion.
I hate to do this, but...
Bump.
I'm sure that someone can profit from this tutorial, right?
There was a whole thread on using my modified volume daemon to do this all automatically.
I've pretty much abandoned that train of thought.
I'm not really sure that anyone really wants to mount USB drives.
It's really a pretty current-intensive way to get data.
It's better to just use a 32 GB SD card in the Nook, formatted with something better than vfat.

thanks for the efforts @Renate NST in creating the USB mode app, I really envy you guys for the knowledge and understanding you have of the tech involved.
I agree with you on the practicality of the application.
At the same time and more we can never let go off the THRILL in trying the invaluable efforts you manage to put in.
Kudos.

Hmm. You have this rooted and the UsbMode is not showing any "<errors>"?
You're sure that it's an OTG cable? (I've never seen one over 6" long. If you know of a longer molded cable, please tell me!)
You're sure that your kernel has the OTG fix?
You should get a quick flash (50 mS or so) out of the LED just pushing the host button on UsbMode even with nothing connected at all (no adapter).
With an adapter connected you should get a solid LED.
I've never gotten into writing/patching kernel drivers, but I always thought that someone would fix the buggy USB driver so that UsbMode would not be needed for regular OTG operation.

Hey thanks for looking into it @Renate NST ...
I am using the small 4-5 inch cable ... had a spare lying around.
I am not getting the quick flash you talk about while a press the Host button.
However when i open the USB Mode app the first line 'Request' shows empty, when i press the Host button it says <write error>
when i engage the buttons (off, 100mA, 500mA, 1.5A & Auto) the Max Current line blinks between <write error> and Auto ...
If that helps !!!
and the kernel part, I am running a copy of Yattaro and Nookie's 1337 ROM(the latest 1.3.4) which claims it supports USB host capability.
Is there any way i can run a command to check if the kernel supports ? Not that i doubt/question this ROM developers efforts/claims.

You seem to be having a an su binary issue. Check and see if the su binaries are in /system/bin; if they aren't, copy them there from /system/xbin and reboot. Should work like a charm.

hey Nookie ... copied the su to to /system/bin and the led came up ... but i can't see the connected device under 'View USB', could it be bcos i am using a Micro SD card on in USB adapter ?
PS: and hey i saw swapon and swapoff files(binaries?) in /system/xbin, does it mean your ROM supports SWAP ? With swap and hopefully NookKat the RAM deficit could be manageable ? My first Android Device was LG Optimus Pro, C660 which had 256 MB RAM & 140-160 MB internal storage for apps, The stock ROM used to keep popping the close any programs popups every now and then rather freqeuntly, On a custom CM7 official port ROM with swap support & dark tremors ap2sd scripts, i was able to get rid of the annoying pop up and install 60-70 user apps to SD card and still have a daily ROM. Do you think our device supports a similar setup with swap and darktremors aap2sd scripts ?
thanks

Is an app that can see what serial data is being provided via USB? Or, a GPS testing app that grabs data from the USB. Do apps always look for GPS data to come in via USB or is there another place that an app would look for GPS data?

To tell you the truth, I don't think either of those exist. I could be wrong, though - @Renate NST has done some stuff using an old GPS puck on her Nook, so you can ask her.

Hey thanks Nookie. I have found some info from both Top hat Soaring (glider people who needs daytime screen visibility as well as ADV riders - motorcycle navigation with again, daytime visibility) so I'll be pursuing those. Thanks again.
I looked into all this a while ago.
You should be able to go right from serial into the LocationProvider.
Strangely enough, most of the stuff I saw back then was using the mock location to handle the data.
This seemed like a detour to me.
I really should follow this up.
Using USB host mode and serial USB is not optimum due to the wackiness in the USB driver and the current draw.
This is a 1.8V GPS module: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10890
Besides the advantage of low voltage/low power, the 1.8V serial can interface internally and directly to the Nook.
I think that I'll be ordering one of these.
I do not know anything about programming.
But I can do all the manual. ))
What am i doing wrong?
Excuse me. Forum does not post a link to the picture. I'm new here ... It is necessary to dial 10 messages.
You must manually copy the link in Internet Explorer.

It looks like your Nook is not recognizing any drives being plugged into it.
Can you give me some more details on your progress thus far?
