I need to mount either a sdxc card or OTG USB drive (works with FAT32 & OTG Helper Pro) for a file that is larger
than 2GB.
Is there a way to add support for NTFS or exFAT to 5.1.1 rooted stock?
Can I use a USB disk formatted for EXT4 via OTG?
Thanks

I am on a nook HD+ trying to find a way to use a WD passport 500GB external HD formatted with gparted in ubuntu 13.10.
I formatted the HD to EXT4, and linux see's it fine, however my nook does not.
Nook HD+ // CM 10.1.3 with usb Host Switch running & "[root] Ntfs Mounter
Uladzimir Kazakevich - June 24, 2012"
my 4gb NTFS formatted usb stick mounts fine, however ntfs mounter will crash when I attach the drive (500gb ext4 drive), either directly though a female to female usb adapter or through a powered USB hub. The 4gb usb stick works fine.
Many thanks in advance I am stumped and search has made me it's &itch... im really stuck on this...
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
Good morning, I would like to know if with this tablet I can use a 64gb or higher USB stick, and which format? (Fat32, exfat, NTFS)?
Thanks
OTG works fine on S2.
I have used a 128 GB stick with no problem and Micro SD up to 200 GB both internally and via OTG also no problems.

Thank you, which format are your SD and USB otg? Exfat, NTFS, fat32?
If you want to read and write to a NTFS drive (I've tested it with a SanDisk Extreme 64GB USB stick and a Western Digital 1.5 TB Elements drive) use:
Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter
And a file explorer such as Root Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
Other file explorers may work (they probably need root permissions), but the Samsung default file explorer doesn't "see" the connected USB drive.
Yeah I know those programmes, but at the beginning I wouldn't like to root my device. What I want to know is which kind of partition does the s2 natively read, from the manual I've only found fat and exfat. Could someone confirm that?
I use exFat and my latest file reader is FileKommander. I find it works best.

Thank you very much
My tab s2 Marshmallow failed to recognise my 128gb otg stick while my sisters tab 4 8" running android 5.01 recognise it just fine. Prob with permission in marshmallow?
Hi,
I know that for a USB-OTG stick can use Paragon to make exFAT and NTFS work.
How about microSD and exFAT for LOS 18.1 (/e/OS) on S10?
It doesn't work for me and If that doesn't work in general, then I would mind using NTFS or ext4 format.
I've also tried both and it doesn't work when I format it with Linux.
When I format it with Android built in formating option, then it does it with FAT32. I've tried to copy a 8GB File onto the SD and it give's me the impression that it was successful (no error message) when it actually wasn't. This is just a fun fact
My linux refused to copy a 8GB File to SD via MTP. This is how it should be with FAT32.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
