Has anyone got NTFS mounting to work, specifically from an OTG adapter and external hard drive? I see an old thread about NTFS mount, but the search function is broken on XDA (when clicking on a search result, it just takes you to the front forums page, not the actual thread you clicked on), so I can't read it.
I tried Paragon NTFS+, which works with my hard drive drive & OTG adapter when using my LG G2, but on my Note it fails to mount. Paragon doesn't give an error message, it just tries to mount for a few seconds then does nothing. I also tried NTFS Mounter, which crashes when trying to mount.
I ended up using Wireless File Transfer Pro to transfer a large file because MTP is broken on my laptop with all devices. I've tried everything under the sun to fix MTP, but it's just broken until I reimage this machine.
FWIW, I'm using CleanROM 1.5.

There are a couple NTFS Mount apps on the Play Store, none of them are working as of yet though.
When trying to mount using ntfs-3g and fuse.ko by hand, ntfs-3g stops with some sort of permission error.
My guess is it doesn't work with SELinux on Enforcing yet.

USB Plugin for total commander works.. It's a paid app but it works... Only thing though, you need to Total Commander as the File manager. It will also copy a file, temporarily, to the tablet. But it does read the NTFS 1.5Tb drive I plug in....
Ext HDD + OTG + NTFS
If you want your SM-P600 to mount and read NTFS formatted Hard drives you will nee to install the kernel shown here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2615959
After you do that you can install Paragon or USB OTG helper,the hard drive should be mounted and your tablet should be able to show the files on it if you use ES file explorer

Anything for sm-p605?

I just recently bought a new Nexus 7 2013. It's now been rooted and has been working wonderful. I just got a new OTG cable, threw some MKV movies on a 64gb USB thumb drive, and mounted it with StickMount. After mounting, I browse to the SDA folder, and it shows as "EMPTY" in Astro file manager. I downloaded Root Explorer and navigating to the folder - still EMPTY. I tried Nexus Media Importer, it shows the folder with the movies, but when opening the folder, it is empty. Wondering if it is an issue with the file types, I loaded the USB thumbdrive with small MP4, WMV, MKV, MP3, and JPG files. The JPG shows up fine in Nexus Media Importer, but still no video or audio files show up. I tried stickmount, and the SDA folder still shows EMPTY. My thumbdrive is NTFS, so I reformatted as ExFAT - stickmount still showed empty and NMI said ExFat is incompatible. I reformatted the stick as Ext2 - stickmount still shows folder as EMPTY and NMI still only shows jpg. I don't know what else to try. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all programs, reformatted the drive, unplugged and plugged back in, restarted the Nexus. Nothing is working.
Why in the world would the drive be seen, but only JPGs show up - the video and audio files are never seen?? MX Player and VLC don't see any media files either...
Thanks for your help!

You've just tried all unsupported filesystems. No ExFat, ntfs, Ext2 or Ext3 are gonna work without some help. Formatting the thumbdrive in Ext4 should work, but then you will be able to use it just on Linux systems. Chainfire's StickMount can mount and access ExFat and NTFS on the usb drives if you put a few files on your /sdcard/ directory. Links to those files are in the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400034
I've tried it with my homemade OTG cable, StickMount and some pendrives and usb hard disks and works just fine. Other method would be flashing a different kernel, like ElementalX, which comes with support for ExFat and NTFS, and even OTG + usb charging.
Hope that helps you.
It's a pain in the butt. I have stick mount, and I added the binaries that allow stick mount to mount exfat drives. However, I still only have read access. You won't be able to write to the drive in exfat. Your best bet is to reformat it in fat32. I even flashed a kernel that supposedly supports exfat, but that didn't work either.
The Fat32 size limit sucks, but it's a necessary evil right now.

Unbelievable...you're right, that did it! Thank God. StickMount now sees and plays all my files. Thank you for your help!

Your inability to write is probably due to SELinux enforcement. Try opening a root shell, and type the following command:
setenforce 0
You should be able to write to your ntfs/eXfat afterwards. (Till next reboot)
Hope that helps you.

I wish a developer would build exfat support into a rom.

You need usb stick plugin for commander. You will need to pay for it and it only works with total commander file manager but it does allow NTFS access....
plug a NTFS tard disk or USB

I researched for ways to make 10.1 14 read any external HD with NTFS format thru OTG.
Found a couple of ways, tried and it still show me empty folder.
Tried both Stickmount and [root]Ntfs Mounter and both doesn't work. It tried both of them with my 3 HDD (256 GB SSD, 1TB and 2TB WD Passport).
I was hoping to connect it without having to reformat any of the disk to ExFAT or FAT32.
Is there any method that's working yet
Really appreciate the help. TIA.

Hi,
There is only one working solution as I know.
You have to install TotalCommander and then also the relate USB plug-in.
The only limit is that for NTFS is read-only.
For all the other programs you find on the store for OTG management, are not working because of the restrictions made by SELinux in enforcing mode.
To solve this, you have to find a working custom kernel that sets SELinux in Permissive mode. But as far as I know there is nothing for sm-p605.

Thanks for the response. So that's why everything that I'm trying just tells me its mounted but doesnt show me anything.
I was hoping to use it as OTG storage so read-only seems pointless at this moment.
I guess we wait right Thanks again sir!

AFAIK, bindroid kernel is coming with NTFS support, limited to SM-P600 and SM-P601.
Since about two days there's a new version of Stickmount, which will during the first run download additional stuff to enhance compatibility. I would suspect an Ntfs driver.
without ntfs drivers in kernel, you cannot read ntfs format...
Hello,
I just bought an ohg cable and tried to connect some usb drives to it. FAT storages are working fine, but i cannot mount ntfs drives. I tried tools like "Paragon NTFS & HFS mount", but it seems that the system itself unmounts (USB Safely Remove) the storage automatically, before these tools can mount them. How can i stop the system to behave like that? Phone is a T-Mobile (DE) One M8 on KitKat 4.4.4 (root access).
Thank you in advance.

You could stop it by going FAT32.
Just sayin.....
Why is NTFS so important to you?
Is it just because it's new?
Use what works. Problem solved.
FAT32 doesn't support files larger then 4 GB.
Hi, if any of you tried to connect a flash drive with ntfs file system? Unfortunately my 32gb sandisk extreme is unrecognizable. I have tried programs like StickMount, Paragon NTFS Mounter and exFAT, NTFS & HFS +, and only the last one detects the flash drive but can not read the files on it.
Did you download the helper functions for StickMount and put them in the correct place? I've successfully reading a NTFS external hard drive on my S5 with that combo but haven't tried it on my tablet.

Unfortunetly no. Can U help me?
EDIT: I put ntfs-3g on internal storage ( /sdcard ) but it still does not work. StickMount shows that mass storage is mounted in sdcard/usbstorage/sda1 but I dont have folder sda1 :/
EDIT2: I found where StickMount is mounted usb (data/media/0/usbStorage/sda1). I see all files but when I try to open (pdf or mkv movie) shows error (Adobe or VLC found usb error try to refresh media library).
EDIT3: When I copy file from usb to my sdcard everything is working. Any ideas how to read files from mounted USB or what is wrong?

I too have have tried all the different apps to read any OTG flashdrive. NTFS, 32bit and so on, none would work. Advised by one of kernel developers that rom/kernel must support OTG mounting and stock kernel does not. So it's not what you are doing but the stock device doesn't support. Only available by installing a custom rom/kernel that does. So far I think there is only one I know of for the 10.5 wifi. Not what sure what you are running but check the two threads for a kernel that will for you device. Good luck and if you find one, please come back and post what u found.
