Same problem for me with same 1TB WD mypassport

May be kernel with NTFS support should mount these HDDs

I haven't checked need to try
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Augustus Longeye:
I'm sorry if this sounds like a completely nooby and stupid question, but would connecting an external hard drive actually work? Even if you sorted out the power issues, would the phone actually recognise it, and be able to use anything on it? It's not like a mini-SD card, and I've never heard of this being done before.....

~Longeye~
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] remejuan:
Could not work out how to get it to "just work" but after installing [root] NTFS Mounter I managed to get a flash drive working, my 750GB WD Passport USB3 however not, I can see the powering it but my guess is not enough, the lights flashing but unlike the flash drive its not mounting.

As for Kernels. I am using the Note 4.0.3 with stock samsung kernel so my guess is it can work on any phone however power may be a problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Augustus Longeye:
Thank you for that! I've never heard of this particular app before, and I have a feeling it could be very useful!

~Longeye~
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] remejuan:
I only got my cable yesterday, before ordering it I did some reading and also heard that a special kernel will be needed for the NTFS support, but after getting the cable I figured worth a search on the play store before going that route as the last few times I tried custom kernels it was dismal experience and with the emmc bug I would rather not be going for a factory reset as ICS is not yet official in my country.

Getting my older 320GB USB2 drive back in about an hour so will test and see if that yields any better results.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] remejuan:
Forgot to come back, tested with my 320GB, even used the pc and a powered usb hub for extra power on the y cable with no luck, even combined the power is insufficient.

Don't see any way of getting an 2.5" drive working on the OTG cable.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sheron:
have any of u tried a powered HDD?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] remejuan:
Dont have one to try with, but I could hear on the spin of the 2.5" that power was at least a problem, may not be the only one, but my ability to test has ended. However I see no reason y it would read an ntfs flash drive and not a hard drive, well with the exception of the 3TB maybe, being so new and all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Augustus Longeye:
I do have a powered HDD (only a 180gb) but I'm wary of rooting my phone this early into the contract for little reason.... If I pluck up the courage to do so I'll test it out, but I'm assuming the link previously posted is the only way of connecting the two? If there's one that doesn't require root I'll test if for you within the hour, but otherwise I'm not going to rush it ;)

~Longeye~
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sheron:
dude which phone du u have??

OTG is an inbuilt function on phones which are supported.

root is only required to increase power output which is not needed in external powered HDD

P.s. I have a 1TB seagate but my phone is sola(no otg support) but it may be ported in the near future so am here to check
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
I even tried with a 1.8" 20GB drive but no luck!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] remejuan:
The app that does the auto mount and enables ntfs support (if needed) requires root.

Personally have no idea how to manually mount.

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Recently got a powered usb hub for my Raspberry Pi, thought I would give that a test.

Connected the 2.5" HDD to the powered hub and then connected the hub directly into the phone. Hard drive works perfectly, even copied some files over to it with no problems.

Power is ultimately the downfall here with the OTG, cannot get enough via the cable, wonder what the battery tax would be if you could get enough power over it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sheron:
so theoretically OTG can be used with an external power source for the reading media??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] remejuan:
Quite probably wont work, the power end of an OTG cable combined with the phone was still not enough, the power end is meant as booster, it provides at most half of what is needed, the phone at least mine, was not capable of supplying the other half.

You would in most cases need the usb hub to completely power the drive in order to use it on the phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] msi.1362:
OK with 1TB, but ...

I have got a 1TB transcend 2.5" external HDD. the cable has two usb connector, one for data and one for power. whenever I connect the HDD to my galaxy note, it doesn't show anything, just the LED on the drive turns on. but when I connect the power connector to my laptop, it works and device shows my HDD without any problem. so I think the problem here is the power.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] remejuan:
Ya thats been said a few times already. Connect it to a powered usb hub and the hub to the phone and ull b fyn

USB OTG

Hey guy's

I was just looking for a solution but could not find one.

Now i tried the "Pargon NTFS&HSF" and it works without any problem.

Find "Pargon NTFS&HSF" in Playstore.

Just install and open app then connect the HDD ( i have a LaCie 500GB 2,5) and voila.

Note: if you disconnect the hdd please unmount first or will damage your're hdd resulting in reformatting.

Tested on :

Phone : Sony Xperia, Samsung S2 & S3, Nexus's and gooapples V5's.

Tablet: Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, Nexus(+google), Asus, Poloroid and Ramos W30.

(Sorry if this is a repost or in a invalid forum. This is my first post:D)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lovesky37:
Congrats! Did you connect your HDD with external power or not ? I guess must an external power. I did use my Seagate HDD 250 to connect to my Xperia P via Y-cable with a power 5V 1500 mAh but it shows a power warning on the phone.

Thank u guys it work for my note 2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wbb1:
I have the same problem with my phone and this thread verfies it.

I can connect a 1TB powered drive in and it works.

I cant connect my 320gb WD portable drive.

I will go with the conclusion given with this thread about power output needed for it to work.

So can the 1tb drive is readding pretty fast, way faster then my 32gb class 10 sd card :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
It's true the power required to spin up a USB HDD is approx 0.55A and the XPERIA S may provide as little as 100mA

I have a Sony DK10 dock and plug that into my Aten USB switch which is connected to a powered USB Targus 7 port Hub.

Using this setup I can access any and all USB storage devices formatted as FAT32 (I have not installed software to read NTFS and etc)

I have a raft of old 2.5" IDE(ATA30) 80GB HDD from REALLY old laptops which I've placed in USB enclosures and I can now access them with my XPERIA S no problems. My FAT32 WD USB 320GB HDD is also accessible too.

Although, this is purely academic as I have a 3TB QNAP NAS which can be accessed via WiFi or 3G using OpenVPN and I can just plug a USB HDD into the NAS and access the data over WiFi. :)

[Update] - Just did a quick A1 SD Bench test on my USB 2.0 enclosed IDE 80GB HDD and I get ~15MB/s read and ~13MB/s write. Would have expect higher I/O, but it's more than enough to view a 720p AC3 video ...which is kind of what took me so long to update this. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fokker1984:
Why would you want to attach a 500GB hard drive to your phone. IMHO you just use a NAS, it's more simple and elegant ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dheerajthe1:
I'm using an S3 I9300. A freecom 1Tb HDD worked superbly. The phone and the HDD were heating up thought. While connected, the battery also drained much faster than usual.

making a point

Don't know what u people are ON phones can't use hdd there not formatted or ment to. There aren't alot of phones that support otg USB mounts my phone does (xperia M) but doesn't allow Hdd to mount without root plus your phone needs to support the aquired storage supported. have a look in the manual under specifications lists or Online my phone supports only up to 64gb's

I'm probably talking jibberish right now but I am just making a point

P.S you need root. for Root download framaroot from this website

[MENTION=5727612]dragonkiller96[/MENTION]

XDA's not about following the rules, it's about breaking them, pushing your phone to it's maximum in every aspect!!!!!!!! People have sucessfully conneccted their phones to 500GB and 1TB HDD's respectively.

just because manual says so dosen't make it true. I used to have a Galaxy 3 (667 mhz processor 384mb ram) and i sucessfully installed a working copy of ICS which according to "manual" needs atleasat 1GB Ram and 1GHZ processor.

the thing is we already know what manual says and we dropped it in the trash long time ago. according to the manual, my phone should spontaneously combust while imploding!! so please do not say or post "in the Manual" or "that guy says you are wrong" etc... asking questions is good but blocking creativity is a BIG NO NO in XDA

i've often re-flashing, but almost never use custom rom on my XMP.

always use the stock rom that promises stability for daily use.

Hello

Sorry to post my thread here, but I don't have 10 posts to put it in dev section :D

I have a problem with Clockworkmod on my TF201. I had ViperMOD on my transformer prime. I have a problem with camera, and I thought it was a firmware related problem as read in another forum.

So I've put back the stock firmware from ASUS (which boots correclty), forgetting that clockworkmod will be broken afterwards...

Now I have an unrooted tablet with a recovery image which won't boot (I have a big bugdroid with red cross on the chest :'().

How can I reinstall either the original recovery image or the the clockworkmod one ? fastboot won't work, rom manager neither.

I have seen that there is a "Android OTA recovery" check when I boot up with the volume down button, but I don't have found information on how to exploit this feature,

I have tried WGS solution, which is useless as I can't access fastboot...

Any idea on how to restore it ? Do I missed a thread here ?

Thanks in advance.

I consider(ed) rooting the device as soon as I get it. Still there are the risks.

I want to do it mainly cause of Titanium Backup. But now I read in the manual there actually is an app to backup app settings and data included.

And I leave the custom roms beside as we will get JB anyway and I do not plan to use another custom rom anyhow for the moment.

So I wonder, at this point why would you root? Are there any other reasons to root?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Titanium Backup is my main reason to root, although root file access is also a great plus (think Root Explorer, Total Commander), and GMD Gesture Control and a crapload of other programs only work their magic if they have root access).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Addfree, droidwall, setcpu, tasker are the apps for which I need root.

[Asus Transformer TF700] DarsVaeda:
Found another reason to root:

The external sdcard is mounted as some special folder called removable.

So most apps can not handle it.

In some you can't even get to that level where the folder resides.

So a symlink would help a lot.
