Guest phoenix40uk Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Hi Folks: Kudos on an excellent ROM. I have been using Modaco R8 up till now and have been able to mount usb devices al;beit only FAT32. I flashed Corvus/Newbe rom and have booted into USB host mode and my Fat32 flash drive light is flashing - only cannot see the device mounted in file manager. Can anyone offer any advice on how to gt this working? Thanks Scott Edited May 5, 2011 by phoenix40uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaxiP Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Try looking in root of device as opposed to USB mount on SD card). I have my NTFS drive mounted and can access via iFileManager / Astro by navigating to /usbdisk (or /mnt/usbdisk) as opposed to where MCR ROM mounts (/mnt/usb/system_usb) HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have installed the USB mode indicator and it definitely shows host. Light is flashing on usb device but nothing mounted in /usbdisk /mnt/usbdisk or /mnt/usb/system_usb Edited May 5, 2011 by phoenix40uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the_corvus Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 1) Test the stick in a pc 2) install connectbot and exec su mount and you will get a list of mounted partitions. One in /mnt/something is your stick. Corvus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the size of the stick? Try to boot with the stick connected and run the same commands If doesnt work, exec: su logcat And connect the stick, then post the text.

Corvus Cool - booted with usb device connected and it mounts in /usbdisk. Any thought as to why it doesnt mount if inserted after booting? PS - for this level of support you are definitely getting beer money from me :mellow: Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well - both NTFS and FAT32 are working - although cannot write to NTFS. do I need elevated permissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the_corvus Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Well - both NTFS and FAT32 are working - although cannot write to NTFS. do I need elevated permissions? No, linux/android module has experimental writing ntfs and i dont want anywone losing files in vega, so no activated. Only read in ntfs. Corvus.

Guest AndyVega Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Excellent work on the ROM, thanks Corvus! I am having the same problem as phoenix, but the fixes above don't help. When I boot the Vega the light on my USB flash drive flickers at times, but once OS is running no sign of life or mounting. Drive works fine in a PC and is FAT32. I never tried any drives on my Vega before I flashed it with corvus ROM, only survived 2 days on original ROM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AndyVega Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Sorry, should have read original corvus thread closer http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...vus-teamed-rom/ I had not enabled host mode! Newbie mistake :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
