Enable USB OTG?

This is a noob question but how do I enable usb otg? I have my adapter, and I'm rooted with an unlocked boot loader. If I have to flash a kernel can you give me interactions on how to do that? Thanks

That would be great info.

If you're rooted and have the OTG cable, then all you need is Stickmount. (And a file explorer to find the USB memory file)

So when follow these steps, I get the message that it mounts and it shows up in that folder as sda1. However, it never has any contents in that folder. I have tried formatting my thumbdrive (an 8 gb Sandisk cruser) with fat32, exfat and ntfs and nothing has had any different results. I have tried a Kingston 2 gb drive, and a wd 500 gb hdd and have not had any better results. I am on rooted stock.
Any thoughts?

Guys please give me a heads up. I'm hesitant to root. but if I want to mount a USB flash drive I have to be rooted and using Stickmount, yeah?

The other option is to flash a pre-rooted custom rom.

I bought a cheap cable on eBay and found it only worked with one of my flash drives. Also it can be difficult to find the right folder. Try another flash drive

eBay adapter
The <$2 adapter I bought on eBay was of surprising quality.
This is what I did with somewhat success:
Root with "Google Nexus 7 Toolkit"
Install StickMount
Install Paragon NTFS & HFS+ Beta
With these steps, I was able to hook up many different flash drives (4GB SanDisk, 8GB Corsair, 64GB Patriot) with great success and was able to access the data off of all of them. I tried streaming 720p video off the USB and it worked fine. I played a few N64 games running off the flash drives, and that also worked fine. Pictures, PDFs, no problem.
One major issue though: I can't WRITE any data on the flash drive if it's formatted NTFS.

Exact same here. Rooted N7 with stickmount and a 64gb Patriot stick. Formatted exFAT and NTFS. Sees everything except for any content on the stick. Put it back in the laptop and it's all there.

Cannot comment on other file explorers but using ES File Explorer (free) the contents of the attached USB media shows up in the following location: /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1/
If using multiple USB drives, attached through a powered USB hub connected to the USB-OTG cable, the drives are differentiated as; /sda1, /sdb1, sdc1, etc.
I ran into problems occasionally with Stickmount showing the USB-OTG attached microSD card reader as "mounted", yet using ES File explorer, no files or folders showed up. I found that if I went back into Stickmount and hit the Mount option again the files/folders on the attached device would show up.
Some, in other threads here on USB-OTG, have recomended to unmount the device before removing the attached device. And some have indicated that one should attached the USB drive to the USB-OTG cable before attaching it to the Nexus 7, and to remove it the same way after unmounting the drive.

BE WARNED... USB OTG in Nexus 7 Works Perfectly, only 2 Things to consider:
A: UP TO 32Gb is maximum supported
B: ExtSdcard must be in FAT32 (ExFat not supported)
Install Stick Mount and that's what all...

Not true.
I was able to successfully mount my 64GB NTFS Patriot flash drive to my Nexus 7.
I can even write data on to it with no problem.

I tried mounting it again and my files showed up in the second folder (sda1). Thank you!
Now I am having another issue. When I use roms that have usb-otg enabled by default (right now I am using Jellybro by Euroskank, but have had similar experiences on other roms), upon inserting the drive, I get the error "Damaged USB storage. USB storage is damaged. Try reformatting it." I get this error using any of my different usb devices even if I use stickmount and the files show up. Tried a factory reset, no change. When I unplug it, I get a different error: "Removed USB storage. USB storage removed. Insert new media." This error cannot be dismissed except by rebooting the tablet.
I am overjoyed that using the double mount trick works with stickmount. Now I just need to figure out this other error. :-/

Update. Working fine now. The stick needed to be formatted NTFS, which I thought I had already tried, but it was still exFAT. So, USB OTG confirmed working with Patriot 64gb stick.

MTP doesn't have anything against the type of files you can transfer. It'll give you a warning but you can just click past that to continue on with the transfer.

[Q] External USB OTG sd card mounting?

My rooted 32GB Nexus 10 will immediately mount a 1.8 inch hard drive I use for both data storage and TWRP backups via a USB OTG connection. I can also mount usb thumb drives without any issue. My problem is that I am unable to mount any microSD or SD/SDHC cards using the exact same mounting components along with card readers that work well on both Mac and Window's systems. The sd cards I have tried are formatted fat32, sized from 4GB to 32GB, and all cards are readable on both Mac and Windows systems. As far as mounting the cards, in addition to the settings system mount, I have tried both StickMount and USB OTG Helper to no avail. With USB OTG Helper, I do get the following message: "Mount started at /storage/UsbOtg Drives" immediately followed by "No drives mounted (Code 9)." I am currently using the latest Rootbox rom but to determine if this problem could be rom specific, I restored a previouly used month old EOS 4.0 rom backup but received the same errors from both roms. In my search for the solution to this problem, I read that the kernel could cause this issue so in addition to the kernel included with the roms, I flashed three other kernels with the same result. I also fixed all Permissions. The last thing I did was download the Nexus Image Viewer app which does not require root. To my surprise the app mounted and could read the sd cards. However, this is not a solution as I want to be able to use sd cards for TWRP backups. One last piece of information is the USB Device Info app shows that the connection with the Image Viewer app is /dev/bus/001/002, but I can not find any folder (only the app) that actually shows the card's contents. When I mount either the hard drive or the thumb drive, the Device Info app always shows the connection is /dev/bus/usb/001/003 and the storage contents are located at /storage/usbdisk. I have no idea if this is significant or not.
Does anyone have any ideas on how or if this problem can be resolved?

I may have included too much info in my original post. I probably should have only asked if other Nexus 10 users are able to mount and read USB OTG SD cards? If so, did you have to do anything special to mount the card and what ROM are you using?
Thanks!

So, no one is able to read SD cards with the Nexus 10's USB OTG? If that is the case I will stop trying to figure it out and be happy that I can mount and read thumb drives and regular hard drives.

Some multi card readers needs a kernel with SCSI_MULTI_LUN Support. No offence meant, but perhaps you could try to search. At least the kernel from craigngomez [spelling?] will have this config included.
If you are expirience your issue with a single card reader forget about my answer - this should run out of the box. Perhaps you can give stickmount.apk a try.

If you have a rooted device then install USB OTG Helperhttp://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...f3uXlh6DBItn-qTTMC1QUWg&bvm=bv.49478099,d.aWM.
That app reads many different formats (fat16/32, ext2,3,4, NTFS and even an experimental exFAT). It works great on SD cards including multi-card USB readers. Even NTFS can be used with Read/Write permissions in most cases including with a stock ROM.

Thank you both for your suggestions. They were very much appreciated.
As to the USB OTG Helper, I had already tried the USB OTG Helper as well Stickmount without success.
As to the kernel suggestion, I had seen in earlier searches that kernels can impact USB-OTG functioning (although I didn't understand why) and had already tried three kernels but not the one suggested. After the lead quoted above, I did flash the Gomez AnyKernel but it also did not resolve my issue.
So...based on one of my earlier searches which recommended starting completely clean, including formatting /data/media storage, I took the plunge and formatted all storage and reflashed the Rootbox rom. On my first attempt and all attempts since then, I am now able to read not only usb-otg hard drives and thumb drives, but also all the usb-otg sd cards I had not been able to mount and read prior to this procedure. Since all my external Nexus used storage devices are formatted fat 32, I have not needed any usb helper to get the mount, but simply use the mount in Settings - Storage. As to the Nexus with the cleaned up storage, not only has it resolved the sd card problem but it also seems to be running faster than it was prior to the complete format. Perhaps after months of trying different Roms it was in need of a fresh start!

This looks great... so you just need an OTG adaptor and you can mount hard drives and SD cards so we can expand the device memory and carry large files around or store large files?
could you mount external storage from recovery?

Well that's a good start... so what do you need for OTG storage, just some weird adaptor cable or something? Will only USB pen drives work?
Can you move some apps like Spotify to external storage? The crippled 16GB memory on my Nexus 4 totally sucks for Spotify. Extreme sound is taking up a lot on my Nexus 10 too.
But even if maybe for large external music stores like recorded radio streams at high quality would be nice if say PowerAmp can pull from it?

Nexus Media Importer, available in the play store, lets you read USB devices, including SD card readers, that are attached to a USB OTG cable. I've not had any problem displaying photos or playing music or videos from an SD card on my Nexus 10 using Media Importer. Another alternative is a WiFi drive. Ravpower makes one that has an SD slot and full size USB slot. On your Nexus, the WiFi disk appears as a wireless network. Connect to it as you would any other wireless network and you can browse and play media that's attached to the device, including an SD card.

I did
1. clean uninstall of the drivers
2. restart
3. latest driver install (from kies folder)
4. restart
5. connected the device & waited until the device installed successfully.
6. Upgraded the sync software (musicbee) to 2.2 beta
Now sync works like a charm again.

Apparently - this happens again.

Eventually, I found this to be a microSDXC card issue (Sandisk Ultra 64GB).
I can't copy new files to the card, nor delete old files, nor format the card (even low level formatting doesn't work).
Card is under international lifetime warranty. Opened a service request with Sandisk for the moment.

[Beta][Exclusive] Firmware update 1.1.76_r1 [USB Storage]

OUYA 1.1.76_R1 USB STORAGE CLOSED BETA FIRMWARE​Hello OUYAers! Here's the ouya closed beta dump of "usb storage" update
Enjoy it and have a nice day!
Features and notes
The details:
Probably obvious, but just in case: connect your drive using the USB port on the back of the OUYA.
L3 from the main menu safely ejects your drive. There may be bugs if you yank the drive without ejecting first (but if you want to be a maverick and do it anyway, feel free to report issues you see).
Right now we only recognize 1 external drive at a time, so you won’t be able to put a bunch of drives on a hub and see them all.
We support FAT32 and NTFS, but not formats like exFAT.
Games on external storage are currently associated with the OUYA they were downloaded from (so you can’t use the storage to transfer a game from one OUYA to another).
We expect that you’ll be receiving more system updates as we fix reported issues.
We expect USB storage to be fully functional. You can download games to it, move games to it, play games from it… just use it like a user! And please, please report any issues you run into by clicking the link above.

May have to tinker with some other devices, I have a couple external hard drives and a few USB sticks laying around and have ran across a couple that just won't work. If you are on this beta firmware you will get a notification when you plug is a USB drive, then when you go to download a game from the ouya store it will ask you where you want to save it.
I have a newer seagate 1TB drive plugged into a powered 7 port USB hub with a wireless USB logitech keyboard mouse combo unit (K400r) it works a champ. Several 16 and 32 GB udb sticks worked well. I have an older Iomega external drive, under 500 gigs that does not work.

oh,ok...sweet!!:good: i wasn't sure if the OUYA will throw me a notification when plugging in a USB drive...i also have a 4 port USB hub that works perfect with the OUYA, i have a 160gb laptop hard drive put away that im not using, i'm going to have to get me a USB Hard Drive Enclosure or a hard drive adapter or i might just buy a USB stick and see if it works...Thanks for the info and for clarifying it...

It also seems to work well with installs from the play store (once rooted and play store installed of course). I installed both GTA games from my play store account, and both downloaded the additional data and stored it on my external drive with no problems.
Seems to be working basically as it should have out of the box...

it keeps telling me "an error occurred" when i go to install anything from the ouya store after selecting external but will install to internal just fine and my play store doesn't open at all anymore after trying to install netflix, it immediately kicks me to the homescreen when i try to open it..
i did upgrade to the most recent stockplus before going to this and wiped before putting on stockplus and that loaded everything up fine, i set up my ouya account and then flashed this usb beta update, went through hell getting the play store to work but finally pulled it off haha and after all that.. it no worky..
i have a 1.5tb Western Digital in ntfs.. had an ext4 on there that i took off since i thought this would work haha

new beta update V2...
Has anyone managed to DL the newest beta FW yet? (abominable snowman - updated version of the external storage FW)
hxxp://www.androidpolice.com/2013/11/21/ouya-pushing-out-abominable-snowman-its-largest-update-yet/
I think the update server is overloaded, as mine keeps bugging out at 50%...
#EDIT - okay it did finally download after I uninstalled the OUYA mods / Xposed Framework and then Re-installed them...problem is that it now gets stuck on CWM in "pink" mode...then reboots like no FW update was ever installed...
#EDIT 2 - okay, you have to navigate to select YES to "Uninstall CWM" when in CWM recovery, the NO to the disable recovery flashing prompt...now finally on "Abominable Snowman"
@frickinjerms - you cannot DL to external media properly with the first beta update, I had to DL new games and "move" them from internal to external...hopefully this will be fixed in future updates...
Use the Root my OUYA to get ROOT back...

Then use the OUYA exposed mod collection to get the Play store to work...
