Is there some sort of size limit to the external hard drive that can be connected by this method? I have a 32gb flash drive thatis read perfectly but a 500 gb portable hard drive iisn't read at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Limit is really the power supply from the Note 2. I have powered a 250GB drive from my Note 2, but that is the largest I have powered solely from the phone. Have connected 2TB drives via an externally powered hub.
Guys i'm on Stock DMA6 Rom with stock everything With Root ......
I have an USB OTG cable which i have seen cannot detect NTFS drives ....... only FAT32 why ????
Because NTFS is not a native format for android. Neither is exFat, has to be fat32 or custom Rom/kernel with ntfs support.

If you rooted download "Paragon exfat..." from play store and your note will read your hard drive.

Not to take anything away from ezynow, but the Paragon worked smoothly for NTFS formatted USB. It will create its own Mount point for OTG USB drive formatted with NTFS, so you don't need to worry about typing a mount point in. I am not sure about ext4 though. In order to get rid of the annoying ! and sdcard image atthe bottom, I could suggest the solution given by ezynow; i.e. keep a small partition (1Gb say) with FAT and the rest with NTFS (?)

Sorry, I found my USB drives which are NTFS formatted - with external power. SUCCESS!
...with automount point - you still need to do a refresh after you plug your usb in.

I think you may have other mount points assigned from other apps, which may be putting the tab 'run in circles'. I think the best bet is to ensure all other similar apps are uninstalled and try it again. The only sure way of knowing if no other mount points have been added is to re-install the stock ROM. Please let me know if this does not work.
I recently bought an OTG chord.
It works fine with all devices on FAT32.
I have a seagate HDD (500 GB) which is in NTFS format.
The problem is,
1. I took a pendrive that worked well (on FAT32).
2. Then i formatted as NTFS.
3. Now it didnt mount.
4. I have root so I used "StickMount" app on playstore to force mount NTFS formated USB.
5. Now the pendrive mounted easily(even with NTFS format)
BUT my hard Drive still fails to mount!!
infact, a flickering beeping noise can be heard from the HDD (The HDD works fine on my PC)
So the question is why is that so??
Is it something like, HTC ONE OTG cannot support 500 GB??
Or flashing a kernel with ALL OTGs COMPATIBILITY will do the trick??
Has anybody successfully mounted 500 GB HDD??

If its only a usb powered drive the HO wont be giving enough power to the hdd hence the beeping noise from the drive, you could try a mains powered drive to see if that works.

It's not just about power, NTFS is just not supported in stock Sense 5 regardless if the USB stick uses 0 power

Even not with StickMount app???
then in that case anyway to connect HDD to phone via OTG??
StickMount requires root Like I said, only rooted apps can currently r/rw on NTFS drives for HTC One.

Back up any data you need, then use SDFormatter: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
Under Options, turn on Format Size Adjustment.

What kind of card reader are you using? That could be the problem. Also try a partitioning software like Mini-Tool partition wizard.

It's an ADATA USB3.0 usb flash drive, not a card. I used a double female connector to connect it to the nook cord.
I've tried mini-tool parition also... lol... I think this drive must have been washed or something... diskpart can see it, I can create a primary partition, make it active...etc... but as for formatting nothing seems to work...

I have never heard of someone using a flashdrive to boot a nook. I noticed you were calling it a flashdrive earlier, but thought you just had your terms mixed up. That is weird. And I have no idea how to fix it.
Edit: You actually got that flashdrive to boot in a Nook HD/HD+? With the USB cable?

I honestly don't remember I just know I had burned a cwm image to it... for some reason, and that's the only reason I can think of doing it...
this is the image I had imaged the flashdrive with: NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13)
I've 2 K3 notes and one is rooted and another untouched system.
I've tried paragon ntfs mounter to mount my HDD. Before I used paragon mounter I could get my HDD power on nd get detected as blank media. After using paragon mounter I'm not able to power on HDD or charge any other mobile via otg. I'm able to power on HDD and charge other mobiles with untouched system K3N.
So I flashed stock rom again to my rooted one but problem not solved :crying: please help
Thanks in advance

I know it doesn't work but it can power up them. Please read the thread again correctly
Why on earth would you want to power up a HDD knowing you can't access/transfer files?
Seems mighty queer to me.
And your topic sounds misleading...are you saying usb flash drives works fine but external HDDs don't work?
Coz thats what OTG is supposed to do...powering external HDD and charging other phones is not OTG.
Anyways...wish you luck and hope some devs help you out.
HDD requires a huge power supply which u wont get from mobile.
common knowledge
Please try anything before answering.

HDD works if connected to otg. It is 2TB HDD. My problem solved. Forgot to edit thread
Since we don't have an SD card slot, I am guessing a lot of folks are using OTG arrangements.
Anyone using an OTG drive with their phone for backing it up and shuttling media files back and forth?
My main need is for an external destination for backups, but I would also like to store a bunch of music for swapping off and on the phone.
I have an older small (16GB) OTG drive that I used successfully on my S4 and G2 and G3, but the Nexus does not seem to want to show the drive when I attach it.
Is there a trick to making it work or is there some hidden setting in Titanium Backup to make it visible as a destination? Is there a "best" file manager to do this?
I am rooted with TWRP and running stock MMB29V.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Update: I installed Stick Mount and it mounted my SP OTG drive and I was able to browse it, etc.
Once I did that, Ti BU could actually see it as a destination and I am happily backing up to my (older, smallish) drive.
Now, what bothers me is the dang drive is hot as hell and that can't be good!
Anyone familiar? I only have the one OTG drive so can't see if it is the drive or the phone.
Thanks again.

I do use OTG drives to back up my stuff. I use a 1 TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra to back up with. I prefer to use an OTG cable with a power slot so it can use pretty much any storage medium. I can't use it now because I keep getting Error 255 when it executes createTarfork. Wish somebody would help me with that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/twrp-error-255-t3357541
