hi guys
i have note 3 (9005) and i make update to kitkat so now it cant read USB flash disk.
my question is how can i make note 3 (9005) read USB flash disk? can any one help me in this problem?
Kitkat can still read flash drives. What did you do ash? You catch'em all with your pokeballs? Lol
What format is your flash drive? NTFS or FAT32?

NTFS is not supported. Please reformat it to FAT32.
NTFS can be supported through a mod though.
Android itself has never supported NTFS drives. Only Asus Tranformer devices support NTFS via third party drivers (Because of the USB port.)
Fat32 and exFAT are supported though.
FAT32 only supports files up to a maximum of 4GB. Useless for Semi-HD and Full-HD films.
exFAT supports files up to 16EB (ExaByte) (max file size in exFAT is redundant, since there aren't any drives commercially available over 5TB. Even the collective size of the entire internet is only 5EB.)
My advice, use exFAT.
I think ROM Toolbox comes with driver called Paragon NTFS, that should work with OTG USB NTFS storage, but you need to be rooted. I think this is the only alternate option to reformatting all your external storage to exfat, which may not be practical. Or do it Apple way, transfer data between 2 devices sitting next to each other, half across the globe and back using itunes, I mean cloud, like dropbox.
Thanks guys sooooo much

But how can i make my phone read ntfs?

Hello,
I've tried to mount my external sd card, which is on ntfs with several tools, but they all fail.
It seems that fuse is not compatible with the selinux ? Is there any chance we can still use NTFS ?
Thanks!

I bought my Note 3 in order to have a mobile media player, using the multimedia docking station, a HDMI monitor and a hard drive. I have several Android devices like MK908 stick which accept NTFS formatted drives. My plan was to root the Note 3 and install the Paragon NTFS driver. Now I had to learn that this will trigger the eFuse circuit, and I will loose my warranty. But since this was the biggest reason to switch from Note 1 to Note 3, I am still planning to root the Note 3, but prior to that I would like to know if then I will most likely be able to use NTFS formatted hard drives bigger than 32GB (this limit is documented for FAT32 drives in the manual of the Samsung docking station).
Are there any experiences?
Thanks in advance!

I know, but my hard drives are in NTFS formatted, and I do not want to reformat them....
So I am curious if the Paragon NTFS driver will work after rooting the Note 3. If there is no way to mount a NTFS formatted drive, I will not void my warranty by blowing the eFuse...

I have rooted and installed paragon Ntfs. Still not work on NTFS drive.
install Civz rom. it support mounting ntfs drive. work like a charm on my note 3
USB stick plugin for total commander works but it is a paid app. You also have to run it before you plug in the Hdd and are limited to using total commander as a file explorer for NTFS drives....

You need a custom kernel which allows SELinux Permissive.
Then install any NTFS app paragon or USB OTG mounter etc.
NTFS drives will work.

because I don't think writing into NTFS drives will work.
For normal reading NTFS drives nexus media importer also works fine.
I'm thinking to do similar setup and I agree, loading custom ROM's seems way too much, especially considering other consequences, like lost warranty or in my case loosing WiFi calling, which makes it total No Go. For simple streaming, reading may be all we need, If I want writing, I was thinking to set up secondary partition, FAT32 or exFat to dump files on to. Doing housekeeping chores, like moving files, sorting etc. I would be using my laptop anyhow, which could access everything without restrictions, since Android is way too cumbersome. And just to make sure, there are Win programs, like partition magic, that will let you repartition active drive without loosing data or moving it.
But I must say, it blows my mind how many restrictions Android has without rooting, especially being based on open source.

You are correct you can read but not write to NTFS drives. When I attempt to copy a file to the drive I get an error message that says: Error writing to target file!
Thanks SELinux.

In other words we have to make selinux become permissive or disabled?

Hi was wondering if it is possible to format my 64gb pen drive to NTFS and get my G2 to recognise it using a USB-OTG?

It doesn't appear to recognize it on mine. I tried a Sandisk Ultra 32GB that I've used on my Samsung TV, and it couldn't handle it. It could handle FAT32 on a Sandisk Cruzer using the same OTG adapter.
Disappointing if you want to access large files. I'm going to try ext3 next.
Edit....
I formated it on my Linux system, and it does read ext2, if you have that available. If you need large files, then that would be one solution. Maybe you can install NTFS-3G support, which is what Linux uses.

That's good to know for those that use windows. For Linux, which I use, it would take some work to get it, whereas ext2 is standard, stable, and works.
Perhaps F2FS (Flash Friendly File System, from Samsung) would be another possibility, although I don't know if it's available at all.
Hi guys, if you want NTFS support on your LG G2 all you have to do is install Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+.
Googled for G2 OTG NTFS support, came in here, tried Paragon and came back to tell you it worked flawlesly with my NTFS 1tb 2,5" external hdd.
thanks man .. tested with lg g2 kitkat stock rom .. just mounted onstorage\usb storage 1..2 ..3 .. you can even format your hdd :-o
Guys I am having a problem with my HP 1 TB hard drive. When I plug it in my phone using otg there is a notification saying that "your hp hard drive is corrupt, tap to fix " which takes me to a format manu.
Of all the file managers available , only es file explorer is able to read the contents but writing operations are not allowed.
The otg cable is fine because I can use all my USB drives without any problems
The HDD itself is not corrupt as I can read/write on it using my PC/laptop
Note: when I first bought the HDD it was working normally on my phone ( it was blank back then) but then I had to format it to FAT32 for it to work with my PlayStation 3, after then I again formatted it to NTFS and transferred around 200 GB of movie and series in it and here I am.
Any help is appreciated
Android does not support NTFS natively.

Like I said when I first bought it was working fine ( I didn't check if it was NTFS but it must be because hdd's normally come as NTFS )

I had the same issue w/SanDisk 128 dual USB. Download 2Tware's Fat32Format (CNET has it) or a similar, third-party app and format the drive in FAT32. Hopefully, that'll fix your issue as it did mine.
I know it only supports FAT32, but until i lost my adapter that came with my Samsung 10 it used to read the ntfs flash no problem, but now says unsupported file structure. I was also using a different flash that was lost with the adapter. I bought the same adapter on ebay but using a different flash. Could that be the problem? Im not rooted, but that didnt matter before. Want to be able to transfer movies over 4GB like i have until this week. Thanks

NTFS is designed for the Microsoft Windows operating systems, not on some Android devices.
You can try to format as exFAT or FAT32. exFAT is same as NTFS.
You can transfer your movies using MTP.

Because Amazon doesn't pay to Microsoft to use NTFS and ExFAT.
You can transfer your media from your PC to Fire tablet using USB.

but it DID work before. I guess no one can explain how this was possible then and not now. I keep the tablet at work and bring flash drives to transfer movies. Wanted to be able to transfer movies over 4 gig, but guess ive lost the ability to do that now.
You could try exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon. Maybe that can read the drive
Can the Tab S5e with stock Firmware read an USB-Stick attached via USB-OTG Adapter which is formated in NTFS?
Other filesystems like exFAT or FAT32 are not possible (Fat32 because of files >4GB and exFAT because the stick is also used on deviced which do not support exFAT but NTFS)
I don't know about stock firmware, but TWRP recognizes NTFS.
I just tried it with an 8GB USB stick formatted for NTFS using the OTG adapter and it wouldn't recognize it.
I'm curious. What type of system are you using that does not support exFAT? Pretty much every modern OS supports it.

To access my NTFS-formatted USB flash drives, I use exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software. I plug in the USB flash drive into my tablet, allow the app to access the drive, tap Mount within the app, and then access my files using Total Commander. Be sure to tap Unmount within the app before disconnecting the drive.
It's a paid app but I think it's worth it. I can also access my files from my 4TB USB external hard drive.
Hopefully this helps!

I'm preparing the stick for a friend of mine which mainly wants to use the stick on her Smart TV. I'm not 100% sure if this TV supports exFAT, but my experience ist, that many TVs don't support exFAT yet. I don't want to risk to convert it to exFAT and then it won't work on the device it should be used mainly. (I can't test, because she lives far away and i have to send the stick). To use it also on the tablet is nice to have but no must.
It's also not sure if the tablet supports exFAT, is it?

I see. I would be careful with NTFS too. Not all TVs support NTFS. What is the TV model she has. Pretty much all tablets that support OTG supports exFAT. Specifically, all Samsung tablets support exFAT.
https://help.mediazilla.com/hc/en-u...hould-I-format-my-USB-drive-FAT32-exFAT-NTFS-
She has an Samsung TV, for the exact modell I have to ask.
Edit: In the meantime i asked fot the TV model (Samsung UE55MU6279) and checked the manual:
● The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems.
Does someone know or can try if exFAT works on the tablet?
The tablet definitely supports exFAT.
