Mounting a usb storage

How do you mount a isb storage like usb on the go to our HoX ?
sent from outer-space using HoX

On jb you simply plug it in. You can then access it in /mnt/usb
If it's formatted ntfs then you need an app like stickmount

It is simple with HOX on JB. Buy an OTG USB cable and connect your USB to HOX.
Remember to safety remove (Setting --> USB Storage) before remove your USB.

USB mass storage is not supported on the gnex, there is only MTP.

Yes I know but if I flash a new Rom. Will it be able to then. I'm trying to transfer .zip files to my gnex and it says it's unsupported. Will it be easier to put it on a flash drive the transfer it with USB otg?

It will not work with another Rom. It should work with otg, not sure if the recovery can read it tough, so move it to the internal memory first.
Other options are apps like airdroid or WiFi file manager. Or perhaps share a folder on the computer and use a file manager that can access shared folders like solid explorer or es manager.

This would have been a lot easier if op had " searched" the forums. Or read the stickies i.e. efrant's 101

You must have root to use Stickmount, without root your only hope is Nexus Media Importer, and it does not really mount so much as access.

Then why were you trying to use stickmount? That has nothing to do with what you are doing, it is used for otg.
Just plug the tablet in, install the drivers, and that's all there is to it. If that's not working, then you either have a driver issue, or usb ppt or cable issue.

If you mean mount the internal at / to your PC, I think what you're wanting was removed, you may have to find an alternate method. You can also use adb push/pull.

[Q] Cannot mount SD Card via USB OTG and stickmount (root) - works on Galaxy S2

Hi,
I recently bought a USB OTG cable and an "Integral USB 2.0 Single Slot SD Reader " so that I could use my Nexus 7 to view photos from my camera.
At first I tried using Nexus Media Importer to view files on the device, but this did not work. I have successfully been able to use this application to mount a USB thumb drive via the USB OTG cable.
I then rooted the device and installed stickmount. This did not seem to work either and there were no signs that the device was recognised by the tablet (the red light did not come on). I configured stickmount in SuperSU so that it has root access. I did not copy any data or apps back onto the device after unlocking it, and I am using the stock android 4.4.2 ROM.
I tried mounting the SD card using the card reader and USB OTG cable with my Galaxy S2 running Cyanogenmod. This mounted as soon as I plugged it in so I doubt there is a problem with any of the components.
I have tried mounting the drive both with USB debugging enabled and disabled. Is there anything else that I can try?
Thanks,
Ciaran

Reboot your device while keeping the OTG cable connected.

Thanks, this does allow the drive to mount successfully; however, if I remove the drive then re-insert it it does not remount, nor does it show up in Stickmount. Is there a way to remount the drive on-demand - just like my Galaxy S2?

You can press the 'thanks' button if it helped. Till now, I have not come across any such method to mount the OTG cable on demand. It's a cheap ploy by Google and Asus that they do not allow native OTG support on the Nexus 7 2013. Just to promote the cloud services. Mounting OTG cable is so easy on the Moto G and Samsung devices. It's a given these days.

It's gotta be the connections your using. Either the Integral SD Card Reader, or the OTG cable you are using. I never have any issues using stickmount with my Meenova MicroSD card reader. Have you tried other adapters?

^This, stickmount mounts my meenova as well as my OTG+USB thumbdrives on demand, no issues whatsoever, no need to reboot or anything, it just automounts and it's ready to go.

Anyone use the Sandisk dual usb stick?

I have not but it looks awesome!
I was thinking about grabbing a Meenova but this looks like it will fit my useage better!

I use it and is fully working with my Moto X!

Does it mount as usbdisk? Are you on 442? Rooted?

Sure, it mounts as usb disk. I'm running the stock Motorola Rom 4.4.2, not rooted.
When you insert the stick through the micro usb port on the phone, it automatically mounts. Then I usually use ES file explorer to copy files in it.

its still working? cause i just bought one but my moto x no recognize the usb, i am on 4.4.3

I also have this device and it works great for me as well. The stick can be found going to storage/usbstorage in es or any file explorer. On Verizon running krypton rom with 4.4.3.

I just bought the Patriot 64gb OTG drive and it works fine on my stock, rooted Dev Edition on 4.4.3. Shows up in ES File Explorer, and works fine with Stickmount.

If you're rooted it should would fine if I'm not mistaking.

I just got this for my MOTO X XT1056. When I connect it, all I see in the notifications is this message: "Blank USB Storage. USB storage is blank or has unsupported file system" It the gives me the option to format the usb storage. I've done this twice and also formatted on my PC, but still same thing. Any help?
When I go to Settings, Storage and try to mount it does nothing and the message is still there.

I've tried a couple of USB Sticks via USB OTG, they're all working fine. No mounting problems or anything like that. I use the "File Explorer from NEXTAPP, INC" on my XT1052 Stock 4.4.2 KitKat no root.

What capacities and the format of USB do you all have used? Please reply. I've Moto X 2013 running 4.4.4 stock, no root. I tried sandisk dual usb 64 GB with ex-fat format and it didn't work. It doesn't show up in notification. It file explorer it shows as r/o (read only) device. Thanks
