USB OTG Problems

Hey,
I try to connect my USB storage but I fail every time.
I tried it with CyanogenMod 11 and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/usb-otg-externally-powered-usb-otg-t2181820
Then I installed the PAC Rom and the kernel above and it also doesn't work.
When I go to Settings > Storage I get the Dialog "Settings was terminated" (or something equal, I have the german language enabled).
So I don't know what I make wrong. even when I'm wipe my phone and install a new rom and then install the kernel, it doesn't work...
Hope you can help
Regards

Do you have a powered OTG cable? Nexus 4 doesn't support stock OTG cable.
What kernel are you running, stock doesn't work.

I use Franco of ziddey (cm version) .
And I have a powered otg cable.

Could be the cable and/or y-connector is not working. Can you get any USB connection to work?

You must add CONFIG_RT73USB=y in your defconfig file.

usb flash memory stick

Dear devoleder
I asked about how to connect flash memory stick to my huawei p8lite
Does it support otg or not?
I see in the sitting / storage/ usb mount what can i do with it

P8 lite doesn't support otg.

I don't get it too the phone does not detect the usb flash stick and many people said that the phone does not support OTG but in storage settings there that usb mount ****, really weird...
Maybe it will work with some OTG cable not by pluging the usb stick directly into the phone who knows lol

I think it's just missing a kernel driver to support it.
AIDA64 in pheripherals shows DWC OTG Controller, pheripheral ID 1D6B-0002

Hello, OK the p8 lite didn't support otg cable/stick but with twrp and a otg stick it's working fine for flashing process

Really? TWRP mounts usb stick?
In this case it's only needed a kernel driver to have it working in rom

The OTG chip exists, but the kernel lacks support for USB OTG.

then rooting the phone and installing stickmount and using an usb otg cable will solve the problem I guess

No, a kernel driver is needed before everything else.

oups

I think the driver is not a problem. The driver is present in the kernel.
The problem is probably a stock rom or stock system problem.
There could be a possible solution with a different rom like CM or AOSP.

At last, a spark of hope for OTG! Honor 4x supports OTG and they almost have the same specs....

I'm looking to push a CWM for the P8 Lite soon when I have the time... will look into USB OTG kernel support.

I think kernel suports fully USB OTG but it's only simply disabled.

The issue is most likely that the USB port isn't providing enough power (if any) to the USB device.
Can anyone who's patched their kernel with USB OTG support (there are many apps on the Play store which do this) confirm whether this is true, using a USB Y cable?

Somebody try to use something from Huawei Honor 4C? It's almost identical phone but with smaller internal memory and USB OTG support. It also runs on Kirin 620.

If you have a honor 4x please post usb-storage module, please

I used a Y cable without effect. But I will still try.
Ps. Whole true about USB OTG Now I'm dumping memory. May be soon I will upload image with USB OTG enabled. If somebody can help me, I appreciate it.

Please try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tauruslabs.usbhostcheck , reboot, then use Y cable.
You need to be rooted to use that app

You can maybe build our own kernel with support of OTG?
Try changing line 1988 in the hisi_hi6210sft_defconfig: CONFIG_USB_OTG=y

http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/orig-development/kernel-boot-stock-android-6-0-t3344841
Don't know if it will work.
Attention! Flashing a kernel or changing a kernel can damage your phone

OTG Does not work directly on the s3 neo because the usb port doesnt have enough power, you can try to use a external powered otg cable.
Or do it like me:
There is an APP which can enable otg, required ROOT privileges, and you can use USB stuff like:
USB-Mouse, USB-Keyboard, USB-Stick(i tested 1-16GB), USB-HardDrive(ex. 500gb external usb HDD), Charge an other device/phone/Bluetoothspeaker, and so on.
App required ROOT privileges!!!!!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/themes-apps/otg-enabler-t3423727 (I'am using this)
or you use: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/themes-apps/root-neotg-otg-enabler-t3438645 (not tested by me, just read the comments)
On the app(first link) You just install it and open it, tap the switch, allow su access, and you'll see your device getting Charged(Top left power led is glowing), and usb devices do work. If you'r done, just tap again the switch and use it normally and yes you can close/minimize the app while otg is enabled
Don't Charge your Device, i dont know what can happen so dont try it, may be nothing happens but i dont want risk my device!
Sorry for my weak english(-grammar)

OTG support

Device: huawei p9 lite vns-l31 android 7 rooted using TWRP and magisk
Im trying to enable OTG support for a usb keyboard with an OTG cable
- moved (android.hardware.usb.host.xml) to (/system/etc/permissions) and verified (USB Host) using an app (USB OTG Checker)
- tried to use RevolutionOTG apk (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/activate-otg-support.3476369/post-69049971)(spanish) and
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/activate-otg-support.3476369/post-69086637)(english) but it's not detecting root !
- tried running the two scripts (echo hoston > /sys/devices/ff100000.hisi_usb/plugusb) and (echo hostoff > /sys/devices/ff100000.hisi_usb/plugusb)
and then modified the directory to (/sys/devices/platform/ff100000.hisi_usb/plugusb) but again nothing happens !
- tried this (https://goo.gl/5uLcwW) (Elite OTG for huawei p9 lite) from an old post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...9-lite-by-hassanmirza01.3701052/post-74423429) but the link is no longer available
- tried using (USB OTG Helper) but the app is unable to create mount directory
- Can someone help me in any direction ?

Download Elite kernel 2.1.zip,
https://mega.nz/file/YtUgzLaB#fIo23EtM6NlgxZoxN023raDuo7GzNUiI6uJJMI8Qp28
flash it in TWRP, wipe dalvik/art cache , reboot. Backup your stock boot.img!
But if I remember correctly, OTG may not work properly with Magisk. So use SuperSu 2.7.9 or 2.8.2 (uninstall Magisk first!).

worked like a charm ! don't know how to thank you
