didn't think about that. thanks. so did they take OTG support out of the stock rom?

AFAIK it was never there. I've always had to use Stickmount on the Nexi from day 1 (N7, N7-2013, &N10).

Oh OK. I was running cm11 before 5.0 and it was there so I assumed it was stock

USB otg works on stock KitKat for me via es file explorer

Connecting kindle fire on Mac

Ok, so i got a friend who has CM9 installed on her kindle fire. She's trying to transfer files using a Mac but it doesn't recognize it. Any ideas? Does it have to do with Mac lacking mtp support?

Try to go into recovery (TWRP) and mount the usb storage there. This maybe a jellybean only bug. Since it is new and not very stable.

Oh sorry, I misread the cm9 with cm10. Monitor is a bit buggy, but anyways try the twrp usb storrage mode.

Well it maybe driver problems, or as I said try in twrp. But most likely something is wrong with drivers, or maybe usb mass storage is not turned on.
It might be a USB power problem, make sure you connect it to one of the main ports, and not via a hub.
Also, double-check she has mass storage turned on (this is important )
Try rebooting both the Mac and the Fire.
Which ROM exactly does she have on it? If it's an outdated one, I'd recommend using the very stable GedeROM or Team Kang ROM.
I have a Mac and I've successfully connected my Fire to my Mac on GedeROM, Team Kang ROM as well as the Jelly Bean ROM, so I'm not sure what they problem would be other than the ones I've mentioned here.
Look under Disk Utility and see if it shows up there...

is it even possible oem unlock and flash recovery without PC on stock firmware?

if i knew about this last week, i would have tried it. i received a replacement n7 last week but was away from a desktop for several days. theres another method that requires an otg cable and another android device found in google groups, but i dont have a link with me. its a bit more tedious, but supposedly works.
Don't think so...I was gonna say cf-auto root with mobile odin but you need root for mobile odin

really cool , but i don't have MicroUSB - MicroUSB cable ...
how about , use something one click root applications (don't know if there is something like it exists for Gnex , but i saw such apps for older Android as 2.2 and 2.3) on stock Galaxy Nexus , and then use some terminal emulator to unlock and flash recovery ?

There's no way to enter fastboot commands from the device.

Root without PC?

Is it possible to root the Nexus without a computer?
There was a way to install adb and fastboot an Android tablet or another phone a while back. Although I am not sure if it is still possible (the sdk updated, and I am not sure if they updated). Edit for clarification: Which if it is, you could use a tablet and an OTG cable to achieve root. Which technically would mean you don't need a PC.
Though, to actually answer your question, no you need a computer.

I can't I have some issue where it won't work on anything but charging. I don't know what the problem is, I think it's the battery.

Solve that problem then. Try different cables, different USB ports (if on desktop try one on the back of the PC). Try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Try another PC.
If all of that fails, it may be a hardware issue with the phone.
You can use superboot. And chainfire's supersu is flashable in cwm isn't it?

Yes, but how would you get a custom recovery on the device that isn't rooted, without using a computer?
Doesn't ROM manager do that? It did on my cappy! Booya Biaatch! No but I hope it works for you. No seriously. I do.

NTFS (USB Stick) Mounting

Hi,
has anyone been able to mount and access a NTFS-formatted stick or hard drive? I hav a rooted 8.4, tried Paragon (which is working on my Note 10.1) and some other tools like NTFS Mount (crashes), but no success. Paragon sees the stick/drive but cannot mount it ...
thanks for any suggestions ...

Same here, would really love to get this sorted out!

Give USB OTG Helper (see playstore) a try. It installs the necessary NTFS RW drivers and indicates whether NTFS access will work with your ROM when the appellant is open. You can always uninstall it.

dito here ... SE Linux is in Enforcing mode and will not allow any (kermel) drivers to be installed, so we will need a new kernel before this is going to happen imho ...

What about using Stickmount app plus putting "ntfs-3g" module in /sdcard?

What about installing SE Linux mode changer from the play store? As the play store description says Knox may block it but may be worth a try for rooted devices.

Unfortunately, doesn't work ...

Did you try Stickmount + the module, or didn't you??
Does stickmount work without root? Please ignore, I see the tab in question is rooted. I've got tab pro 12.2 on my brain!

I ask again: Did anyone of you who has a rooted device try Stickmount plus the ntfs-3g module? And did it work or not?

The reason that the module doesn't load is not related to SELinux.
The kernel is built with strict MOD_VERSION support which means that it will only load modules that are built with a kernel that has exactly the same version. If the version on the module is not an exact match, it will fail and report an error in /proc/kmsg. Yoiu can see the error by running dmesg from adb as root.
The only way to fix that is with a custom kernel.
Yes, looking at the work done on the note3, what is needed is a custom kernel with AT LEAST a permissive SELinux for using paragon, but it can be offering NTFS directly too.
The Good news is that we have to look at tools for nexus: YOU CAN READ NTFS WITHOUT ROOT USING TOTAL COMMANDER AND HIS PAID USB PLUGIN

This is true I was able to read my NTFS formatted external hard drive with Total Commander without root. And guess what.. The 8.4's battery is strong enough to handle the hard drive so you don't even need external power source.
If anyone is still interested, ES File Explorer has just got built in NTFS support. I tested it on my portable HDD and it works like a charm !

Go to the menu on the left when you are in landscape mode and go to Local. There you will find the HDD or pendrive you plugged in. Just click on it and you are there.
