[Q] OTG USB not working on a supported Oppo phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First let me say that I am not permitted to post this question on the thread that relates to custom roms for the Oppo Muse Find R821, since I am not a developer .
The named phone has hardware capability to act as USB host but USB Diagnostics report that the kernel (I am using the original ROM) does not support it.
Is there any way to modify the rom to get it to recognize USB devices, as a host?
Or any patch/addition to the ROM that will enable this function?
Perhaps something I can install as a zip in recovery mode.
Or maybe there is a custom rom for this phone that activates the OTG capability?
I know that the phone will automatically recognize a USB stick if the hardware can do it, if the kernel allows it and if the correct OTG cable is used.
The only thing lacking now is the software.

[Q] OTG different after flash

Hi,
After updating (flashing through odin) my GB Stock to 2.3.6, i dont get the msg "USB Host Cable Connected" which I was getting before. And apparently even if I connect a device i dont get any notification that either a keyboard or mouse has been attached. Is this normal ?
Edit: Was searching online and found out that i have USB Host Driver missing, any1 know of a way to install the drivers without recompiling a kernel ?:/
I tried USB host diagnostics and it states that Android API does not claim support but at the end it states Overall, OS support = yes, what does that mean?

[Q] USB to Serial Devices

I have recently downloaded a program called Divemate USB which is supposed to allow me to sync data from my Suunto Cobra dive computer via the USB data cable with an OTG adapter. I have been unable to transfer data and the app says that no dive computer is connected. I contacted the developer who believes that the DNA may have certain USB devices may be limited by the stock Kernel. I am rooted and S-Off but I have never experimented with Kernel modifications. Does anyone know if any of the the DNA Kernels available here would solve my issue? The developer suggested that disabling the USB_OTG_WHITELIST may solve the problem but I do not know how to do that.
to access the otg feature plug in otg cable and your lil pc and reboot phone into recovery then go to advanced and select otg
now make sure your on the latest twrp or cwm recovery crpalmer kernel will do otg cables beastmode kernel will do otg cable
btw i dont know if otg will work in android i could be wrong and you can maybe try another app
also what rom are you on stock sense or what it has nothing to do with it but if your still stock kernel then try a custom kernel they all have otg support

[Q] Samsung S6 Undetectable by Computer

Hello guys i'll try to keep my explanation short.
Device Samsung S6 Edge (rooted)
Not detected by ANY PC anymore, HOWEVER it does charge.
I Tried 5 different cables (new, original, old) cables do work so does the main PC
as my other devices are detected.
I have deleted KIES, SMART SWITCH , DRIVERS and reinstalled in the same order.
So, i flashed the S6 back to stock using TWRP (S6 was running Custom Rom XtrestoLite).
Still nothing, so i deleted all my files from the phone and flashed it back to stock again.
Still nothing, so i wiped the complete OS off the S6.
Now i'm here.
Try to change the usb mode it may can help

That's impossible as i've said my S6 has no rom and Computers do not detect the S6.

Tell me the status for now, S6 is running on stock or custom??
enable usb debugging and install usb driver again, also check in another pc/laptop whether they are detecting it or not.
Use Original cable and give a shot This might help you.
Also head over to Samsung's ofifcial Developer website and fetch the Samsung USB Driver pack which is about 15MB.
That generally solves the issue. Atleast for me!
I had the same problem think the usb board is damaged... you should replace it.
It was running a custom rom, but now the phone has no rom. I can only into download mode or TWRP and thats it.
So there are no options available on the phone itself.
I tried kies driver, smart switch driver, seperate driver from samsung website, i've also tried clockwork samsung driver. Nothing works for me.
Maybe it's the micro usb port that is damaged, but i highly doubt that.

Highly improbably that the USB board is damaged. Try different cables and before that, try it on a different PC. Sometimes it does work. My friend's S6 wouldn't read in Download Mode on my PC but it did on his.
Also head over to Run on your PC and type devmgmt.msc and check if there are any drivers missing.
I think the problem is the drivers
Install new drivers or find other samsung ... and try again
i've installed many drivers including the one that is 15,3mb in size.
guys it's not the computer because it does detect my tablet and my s7.
which also means that it's not the cables and believe me i have tried many cables about 8 cables now .
it's not the drivers, i dont know what it could be.
i think i'll order a new micro usb port and try that out eventhough i know that the usb port can't be damaged.
Unless one of you has a better idea, you are welcome to share.
Update: Hi guys, i've replaced the port but the phone is still undetectable by any computer.
Does anyone know what's wrong with this device?
Seriously, is there NO ONE of you guys with any knowledge or what?
I was going to say your usb charge port is damaged enough that it will charge but not transmit data but i re-read your post and realized you can't have a charge port issue if you able were able to flash stock rom. If you have teamviewer, pm me and i'll try to help you.
I have had this issue before in the past. Turned out that the cable was at fault. Swapped it and everything worked as expected, computer found it once again.
If it's not the cables as you claim, then you may have to ship it to samsung and request a replacement device.

My device supports OTG but OS doesn't

Hello,
I was trying to develop an app that uses USB Host/Accessory mode to communicate with a python script on another linux device (for now it's my PC). I noticed that getAccessoryList() and getDeviceList() both return null/empty and after searching a lot I came across USB Host Diagnostics from chainfire.
And when I tried it this was the result: usbhost(dot)chainfire(dot)eu/?search=1382824
As you can see, the kernel supports OTG while the OS doesn't. My devices are Samsung S5 and Note 8.0 and both gave the same exact results. My devices are rooted but that was the only modification i've done to them.
So is there a way to fix this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Oreo USB OTG issue (Nokia 8). Please Help!

hi,
I have a Nokia 8, updated to Oreo (8.0.0) right out of box (so no experience in Nougat) . No modifications, no root, Stock ROM.
When i connect any pendrive (sandisk, sony, kingston ) as usb otg, file managers (both stock and downloaded) dont show it. Any help?
In notification however it shows the message - "Power supply- Charge the other connected device" but none allowed MTP or any type of file transfers, even though i tap those options .
(I have ALSO tried activating "Developer option" ---> "Select USB Configuration" ----> "MTP". The option gets selected, but as soon as i connect a pendrive it reverts back to -"Charging" )
Also after i had tried various Pendrives there seem to crop up a charging issue. The phone wont charge simply by connecting to the Type C charger it came alongwith. I had to restart the device and then it starts to charge !
USB OTG function is very important for me.
Anyone else with such prob?
Any suggestions? Any help?
I wont Root or install custom ROM for this simple USB OTG function .
Please, anyone???
It does not work for me either. Yet another Nokia fail.

Well, 1st, check if your pendrives are working (I think at 99.99% they are all) and then check if your nokia can still physically use USB otg by installing TWRP (which you can replace by stock recovery later) and mount USB drive in recovery or plug your phone to a computer to check if it still can transfer data (if it can't, you don't need to fix).
IF EVERYTHING IS WORKING WELL AND IT IS A GLITCH

Well i appreciate your effort to help. but i suppose you didnt read my original post.
1. I have checked all my pendrives. All working 100%
2. I will NOT install TWRP as i said before i WONT root, flash, blah blah for this simple fucntion of USB OTG, leave alone replacing stock recovery later.
3. I can transfer data to my PC and vice versa.
Regarding tutorial to flash a firmware the link which you have given is to flash symbian NOKIA N8 (released in 2010). these is the first line from the website - "There are situations when you are required to re-install the official firmware on your Nokia Symbian Belle Smart Phones."
MINE IS NOKIA 8 (2017). ITS AN ANDROID PHONE AND NOT NOKIA N8.
I think it will not help me at all.
