Stickmount not working in v4.3 - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Anyone else try stickmount to mount their USB device?
I know its not my cable nor the flash drive. They both work in my Original Nexus 7 and I can mount the drive in the TRWP recovery in the Nexus 7 2013.
I also know I am rooted because I have Root Manager installed and it was Granted root permission. Same with ES FIle Explorer 3.

Stick mount works for me on 4.3. I just mounted a flash drive.
It created a usbStorage partition in the root of the internal storage(SD card).
I then used root explorer to navigate to the usb storage folder and voila, my flash drive and all its contents are accessible from my Nexus 7(2013)

Thats good to know then I am wondering why mine is not working? I wonder if maybe I am not rooted correctly. Is there an app that can check that I am rooted correctly?
I actually have tried other mounters as well and none of them are working to so must be something with the root?
EDITED:
I tried a fresh flash drive and it now shows up but my concern is why does that flash work on the original N7 and not on the N7 2013?
Could it be TWRP backups on the drive some device specific protection?

Both flash drives are Def Fat32!!. This is just too weird. The New and Old flash drives work on the original N7, but the old one I used on the Original N7 just will not work on the N7 2013, only the new one. I even did a re-format.
Both Flash drives are Kingston DataTraveler G3 8GB.

Have you tried the one that doesn't work on your old N7 recently, or on a computer to make sure it still works? Probably a stupid question but I figured I'd ask haha

It works on Mac and PC. Just totally lost on this. Maybe the firmware version on this Flash Drive is not compatible with the N7 2013 hardware/kernel.

With nexus media importer there are problems too, I guess they must update the apps to work on 4.3, something has changed.

Mine is not working either on my Nexus 7 2013, but works fine on the original N7. Just shows an empty folder when navigating with ES File Explorer

Maybe ppl can comment on their root methods here to see what works and what doesn't.

I just tried it again to make sure it is still working after I've gotten a few updates, and it works fine for me. Just started playing a video off a NTFS format sdcard with MX Player and it worked fine.
I'm using stock rom and am rooted with TWRP recovery and Super SU.

i just copied a 6gb mkv video onto my thumbdrive and mount with stickmount. it mounted ok but in my file explorer, there is no file despite me navigating to the correct folder.
any help here guys?

How are you formatted? It can't be FAT32 or you couldn't get a 6Gb file on it. I don't think NTFS works without some add-on support.

i'm using NTFS format because FAT32 like you say cant allow me to dump a 6gb inside. What type of addons is required?

same issue
I am having the same issue, rooted with cwm and superSU, lexar 32 gig thumbdrive, 2 .mkv files on it, nothing shows in es file explorer or file manager hd. anyone figure aything out? I messed around for a couple of hours with no luck so far.

I have a rooted device running JSS15R and have a problem with OTG Helper. When I plug in the drive, it opens OTG Helper but I can't mount the drive. It just says no drives found. Tried two different flash drives, both FAT32 and both working on my PC.

fixed my issue

fixed it. Needed the ntfs3g script from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1145436&stc=1&d=1340293802 added to the root of the sdcard for stickmount to read the ntfs files. should have read the whole description on the play store for stickmount.
don't remember having to do that for my 1st gen nexus 7 but, then again, i do drink a lot of beer sometimes...

External SD card write issue

I'm currently running a rooted GPE G pad with stock 4.4.2 installed and am having an issue writing to the external SD card in both titanium backup and folder mount. In Tibu it says I don't have write permissions when trying to change the backup location to /storage/sdcard1 and folder mount gives me an error as well when trying to write to the same location. Is there some option in 4.4.2 preventing me from writing here or am just doing something completely wrong? I used the same sd card in my rooted Galaxy S4 for both these apps and haven't had any problems.
Sent from my AOKP GS4
I had a very similar issue on the stock 4.2.2 (non-gpe version). Some games were not updating, error 492 if I recall. I could not delete or remove the folder, and certain folders were not allowing me to write to them. I chalked it up to the LG OS just causing damage to the SD card - I formatted it, installed CM11, and haven't had the issue since. I was able to put the MicroSD in the PC and delete the folder/files, but the folder would still appear (reappear/get re-made) when put in the tablet, as it would then show up on the PC.
Not sure what caused it, but I was under the impression it was the stock firmware. Evidently not.
Posted this in another thread, but figured I'd also post here for reference...
I had the same problem; couldn't write, etc although from a PC or installing the same SDCARD in another device worked fine.... called Google Support; no help by the way and after searching/reading for a while determined the problem.
This link explains how to fix... basically Android is not accessing the proper "name" of the external card and you just need to add one line to fix permissions.

Worked perfectly, thanks! I would likely have looked into returning it if I couldn't figure out how to fix that.

Just tried this on Stock LG Rom (V500) and unfortunately it did not resolve my issue updating apps that I have moved to external SD card via Foldermount. I can successfully run apps and write to external SD via titanium backup just can't update apps via play store. Foldermount developer blames LG and is already working to correct in his next version. Was hoping this was the solution. Guess will have to wait for update from dev.

First time I had a SD card get fried on me. Sandisk 64GB SD fails with write protect. Cannot even format on PC.
Could it be the G Pad is frying cards?
Hmm, not sure it's the G Pad. I have also had issues with Sandisk 64GB cards but in Galaxy Tab. I do not think the Sandisk are as reliable as say the Samsung cards. I think this is one of the reasons you can find them so cheap vs. other brands. Picked up 2 more for $34 each on Black Friday. In any case, you may be able to resurrect by using the MiniTool Partition Wizard. I had a card that I was able to fix by deleting all the partitions and recreating. Give it a whirl you have nothing to lose. The desktop tool is free.

I also had issues with Sandisk Ultra 64GB card, works fine with smaller cards. Kept saying card dismounted unexpectedly and Titanium would fail many times during a backup because. I CAN do a nand backup no problem in recovery and works fine in PC so some firmware issue with either 64 GB cards in general or just Sandisk? Same issue only worse if use a custom rom. Was gonna return my pad but once tested other cards realised some 64GB/Sandisk compatibility issue.... I can also recommend mini tool partition wizard

well me thinking it was the sandisk 64gb I ordered a samsung pro 64gb and same thing as the sandisk while the LG and TBP recognize it as external_sd and i can store files on it I cannot move apps to it Nor does TBP recognize it at the bottom as sd1 anyway I tried the fix above and neither root explorer,es file explorer or solid explorer would let me edit and this is after i clicked mount rw..... anyone have any other ideas?

When you say you can't edit the file even after mounting as r/w, what error do you get? Basically, until you edit the file I think you'll continue having the problem.

Check SuperSU to ensure the app you're using has been given root access. If you can't edit the file, sounds like you don't have proper permissions.

Give this app a try, I've encountered various problems with different versions of the apps you've mentioned and never had an issue with this one. After install, add the root add-on and you should be good to go.

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

[Q] I really need help - SD card issues, T210 tab

Hi, i bought a galaxy tab 3 T210 a week ago, and i'm done, i'm tired of this, i put inside a new 32gb micro sd card and since i updated to android 4.4.2 there is no way to write in the card, it just became useless, there is no way to use it inside the tablet, that doesn't matter to me, the part what i don't get is i can't copy files from my pc to the memory using usb cable, i've tried everything, already rooted, used all of sd fix apps, installed the ''KITKAT sd card full access'' module but nothing, i just can format the sd and use it once, after restarting the tablet the sd card is only readable, i don't know what else can i do, seriously i'm freaking out and getting to the point that i will just throw the the tablet through the window and buy a new one, this is just useless and worthless
can someone help me? after days of searching i'm just like in the beginning

that patch is only a partial step, you also need to edit your boot.img's init.rc entry for media_rw to set perms to 755
or utilize an init.d script to perform the same function, or to create a bind mount to link your external card to a directory
in /sdcard and access it that way.

The SD-Card works fine, everytime i format the micro sd it's ok and i can do anything i want in any device, write, delete, new folders, just when i plug into the tablet and restart it, the micro sd ends working as it should and now works as read only.

for those with the same problem.
I'm actually using ntfs micro-sd and the tablet stopped damaging it, i mounted it with ''SELinux mode changer'' and ''Paragon ntfs$hfs'' to recognize it, it's better than nothing, the only way to write in the micro sd is with my notebook and a micro sd adaptor, it's not the faster way but at least i don't neet to format everytime i want to transfer files from my pc

[Q] Does the 8.4 model support OTG read and write?

I found this tablet on sale at best buy and am wondering if I can use it to back up my files from a micro sd card to an external hard drive or flash drive.
I am hoping to do this without rooting the device.

Yes it does support otg.
Writing to external drive won't work without rooting the device because of the limitations in KitKat.

Well I have a 64 gig card and regularly transfer files back and forth using my otg cable or otg memory stick with no problems but in order to write you have to use the pre-installed file manager.

Oh, yes.. sorry, my bad. I always use ES File Explorer since I don't like the pre installed one.

So how does USB OTG work on Marshmallow?

Hello! I've got a 64GB USB C drive I'd like to use with my bone stock Nexus 5x. It's formatted through the phone, and I get the notification to explore the device storage. Unfortunately, just about no other app can see the device storage. No file manager except for ES File Explorer can see it. Most importantly, I'd like an app called LocalCast to see the device storage for casting media from the drive to Chromecast and other DLNA players without copying to device storage first. But like I say, they don't seem to see the drive.
Is there any way to get this to work? I'm open to rooting if it would make it work, but this is my first experience with OTG, so thought I'd ask here first.
64GB Sandisk micro-sd, formatted to FAT32 with the phone. stickmount(pro) installed and the card is recognized by every app on Nexus 5X MM 6.0.1. Poweramp & MX Player both do auto scan of the card when inserted. I also have a 128GB card formatted to exFAT, it doesn't get recognized by anything other than SolidExplorer's USB plug-in.
Just go with FAT32 Format and get Stickmount app should do the trick.

Yip as stated above stickmount is required for nexus's if rooted.
Otherwise try a play store search for "otg" if unrooted

I see! I kind of thought it would work out of the box with marshmallow but this is very helpful. I just wanted to make sure it would help before I pulled the trigger on root. Thanks guys!
