Just tried USB OTG and can only read a 4GB FAT32 flash drive. 4GB NTFS is shown as blank (also tried a 64GB NTFS flash drive with same result).
Can anyone confirm this is the case for them too?
Try formatting them in exFat instead of ntfs

But then my car stereo will not read the flash drive
EDIT: Just tried ExFAT and it does not recognize it.

Might want to check the owners manual, ISTR that it mentions the format that OTG works with. Likely that it's FAT32 only
HTH
Looks like you can only read NTFS with root

I have a USB OTG cable. Tried with various flash drives. All work using FAT32 and ExFAT. But not NTFS. Tried installing Paragon, Stick Mounter, USB OTG Helper. No dice. They get mounted but when I browse to the locations they say they mounted the drives to the folders are empty. What's weird is Paragon mounter actually lets me see the drives in it's app and even shows the files and folders. But I can't get to them!
Using Trickdroid 8.0.0. and also tried Teamviewer kernel that supposedly adds NTFS RW support.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I would like to use an 64 GB USB pendrive with my nookhd+
I have the CyanogenMod 10.1 20130615 (not the latest one but thinking on upgrade soon).
As i want to store files bigger than 4Gb, i was thinking to format it to NTFS
Editing: should i format the USB on exFAT?
Is the nookhd+ capable of reading that filesystem by default?
Do i need any kind of software?
Thanks
Android by itself cannot read or mount the NTFS format, but there are some apps on the play store that say they allow android to mound and read NTFS.

Unfortunately I cannot say how well they work, I haven't tried these myself.

Hi, Thank you.
I tried Paragon and it didn´t work with an NTFS USB. I will try the other one, but I think I am going to stay with FAT so i can use the usb for multimedia on the NookHD+ and for portable programs on any windows.
Hey guyz... i have an issue ...need ur suggestions.
I bought the OTG cable to use my 8gb PENDRIVE... Manufacturer: KINGSTON.
But unfortunately when i attach the usb after some time it says USB already remove...
I also tried after formatting the usb using the FAT32 + NTFS option but the problem remains the same.
On the other hand i tried to connect HP 4gb and no problem occurs with them....
I also tried to check it with h2testw no issues reported.
I also used the software Paragon NTFS & HF from play store.. ISsues are the following attached images.

It might be a compatibility issue with the Kingston pendrive.
Previously saw a forum posting saying Android OTG is more compatible with FAT32 pendrive.
First time hearing FAT32 + NTFS option.
1) You can try to use Windows to format the Kingston pendrive to FAT32 format.
2) Or use App SanDisk Memory Zone to format the Kingston pendrive.

3) Sony is going to sell a new 2 in 1 flash drive, you might want to consider getting it

It's have two partitions? Then is that the problem.

I also contacted the Kingston customer support... They are saying that all usb's are standard and not OTG supported so far.. .So no use of discussion... But still if got any solutions then let me knw.. Thanks in advance...

I have 16GB Kingstone pendrive. Also don't work for me.
Code:
dmesg says:
unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
I reformatted the otg drive above (big mistake) on my note 4 and everything seemed good until I noticed my Samsung TV no longer recognized the usb and wasn't showing up in source list. I reformatted the otg on windows to ntfs and Samsung recognized it but then note 4 said empty or unsupported and said I need to format. So it appears note 4 formated it in exfat but TV doesn't recognize. According to otg specs it default was exfat. Something is off because otg worked fine on TV and note 4 before I formatted it on the note. Any suggestions?
Well if you don't need file sizes larger than 4gb just format it as fat32.
The HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool should do the trick....

Or if you need large file sizes, ntfs is faster as well, format it as ntfs and get StickMount on your phone.

Either way it should get you up an running again.
Hi All,
I've tried to connect my 298GB exfat HD to T715 using USB OTG connector, the ES Explorer could detect that there was an additional storage been attached, but i couldn't see any file in the harddisk. What seems to be the problem here? Is it the capacity of hd that is too high or the filesystem that can't be read by the OS? My microsd card is formatted using exfat and it still can be read.
Do i need to be rooted and flash additional files? Should i be using FAT32 instead of exfat?
Thanks

try to format a < 64gb usb stick with exfat, so you can figure out if the problem is the filesystem or the capacity of your hd.
it its the fs fat32 should work if you dont want to use ext4.
cm should also handle ntfs partitions.
You can format the drive to fat32 using a windows program such as easeus partition manager (there's a free version or trial). (Windows itself limits fat32 formatting to 32gig so you need a 3rd party app like easeus)
Just remember fat32 can't support files bigger than 4 gig - so no big mkv movies for example
