yes, otg works. have used it with keyboard, printer and usb flash drive already.
used the following adapter
Thank you very much, danjac. I will try.
Hey, can you help me. Since Android 7 USB OTG didn't work with printers and HDD with the YogaBook.
After a repair (Mainboard and usb were changed) my book is on android 6 and USB OTG works well. Can you try with an android 7 device if otg runs so I can update my book?
Greetings B Peters

Hello,
Can anyone help me with a description of the USB OTG functionality on the ZTE Blade ?
I am interested in:
What drivers are installed (USB Host, USB Gadget, USB Storage, etc.) that are related to USB OTG functionality.
How the phone recognizes if it should be in USB Host or USB Gadget mode (sense pin or software switch?)
How the automount works.
What kinds of devices can be connected to the phone.
Any other things that could help implementing USB Host into another phone (Optimus One)
I am trying to help get USB host working in the LG Optimus One, which has similar hardware, but OTG is not working at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated.
The thread (at it's beginning, at thr moment is here), for direct input.
I am running CyanogenMod version 10.1.2 on a Nook Color via micro SD card. I can not get any USB devices (eg. thumb drives) to work. Nothing happens when I plug a USB device in, so it appears that the Nook Color does not recognize the device. To troubleshoot the problem, I ran a program called "USB Host Diagnostics," and received the following message:
USB Host Controller: version number 0.44
S3C USB Host Driver NOT found!
Root hub present, USB Host Mode is active.
What is the "S3C USB Host Driver? Where can I download it? How do I install the driver on the Nook Color? What steps do I need to take to get USB hosting to work? Thanks for any help you can give me to help me solve the problem!

To expand on this: CM7 was based on top of an older Linux kernel version (2.6.32), on top of which a lot of hard work was done to enable USB host mode. In porting to CM9/10/10.1, we moved to a newer kernel version (3.0), and some of that work wasn't brought over. There aren't any technical barriers to enabling USB host mode on newer kernels -- someone "just" needs to spend the time to go through the patches for host mode in 2.6.32 and figure out what bits need to be forward ported to 3.0. (In case you haven't figured out yet, time is the scarcest asset in a volunteer project like this one ...)

"S3C USB Host" refers to the USB OTG hardware included in Samsung S5PC110 ("Exynos3") devices, including the Nexus S and most Galaxy S series phones. It's not applicable to OMAP devices like the Nook Color, which use different, much more mature USB OTG hardware and drivers from Mentor Graphics and TI (musb_hdrc).

THANKS to EVERYONE for responding and clarifying the situation with USB Hosting mode on CM 10. The information saves me a lot of frustration in trying to get my Nook Color to recognize my USB devices. At least I can get USB Hosting working if I use CM7; that's an option, so thanks a lot for pointing it out. I'm a newbie and struggling to learn Android related stuff. If I had the technical know-how, I'd love to help solve the USB Host issue with CM10. For me at least, USB hosting would be a valuable feature in CM10 and beyond. I really like how well CM10 runs on my device with a SanDisk 8Gb micro SDHC card.
To get some of my devices (eg. keyboard) working on CM10, I may try the bluetooth capability in CM 10. However, I read somewhere that the range of bluetooth was limited on the Nook Color. I think that was awhile ago when developers initially unlocked bluetooth on the Nook Color. Is bluetooth range still a significant issue?
THANKS AGAIN!!!

There is a limited range for bluetooth, it was actually hidden in the official rom and not enabled until some developers found it out.
IF you really want USB host on a newish android version, you might want to use CM9, it still has usb host and I was able to use it a few months ago for a project. But there is limited opengl support and it might have a few minor bugs in it.

Thanks for the tip about USB hosting mode and CM9. I'll download CM9 and see how it works with my Nook Color and USB peripherals.

Please provide more detail about how you enabled USB hosting mode in CM9. I downloaded and installed CM9, but I can't figure out how to enable USB mode. I tried an app called "Nook Color Tweaks," but the app clearly states that it does not work with CM9. What steps did you take to get USB hosting on your device running CM9? Please clarify. Thank you!

I'm sorry,the app I was referring to was Nook Color Tweaks. Whoops :laugh:
A few of the options will not work on CM9 but the USB host will/should work.
I haven't used CM9 in a while now but if usb host doesn't work on the rom I linked to then you may want to use a ROM from eyeballer's unofficial CM9 nightly builds and try the latest opengl build. I had used eyeballer's rom in the past and it did work with USB host.

I think the changes need to be made in encore_defconfig (or encore _cm11_defconfig). I can try to make the changes but these files are automatically generated in the make process. Could you point me to the configuration files where this happens? I think it must be in device/bn/encore.
I got a new computer(Windows 8.1, 64-bit) in few days ago. When I connected my Galaxy Y GT-S5360 with Windows 8.1(already installed Samsung Galaxy driver software), it's not working with it like "USB connected" in my notification Android phone. I tried many times but still not working it. Can anyone pls help me? :crying:

How To Get Windows 8.1 To Recognise USB Mass Storage On Your Phone
I have had the problem for ages that when I connected my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5360 into my Windows 8.1 PC nothing happened - Windows 8.1 simply refused to recognise the device - not even anything in device manager - nothing - nada
However it would recognise the phone if I set the phone to download mode - but I want to use my phone as mass storage
Well after months of trying I finally found a really stupid solution
Solution
Install the usb drivers for your phone as normal
connect the phone to pc via usb cable (nothing happens other then a few beeps as normal)
now plug in any usb dongle that you have already installed on your pc - like a usb wireless mouse dongle
suddenly windows detects the phone and you can now set your phone to mass storage from the phone status bar
Every time you want to connect your phone in mass storage just plug it in then plug in the other usb dongle after

no - read the thread fully - at no point do I mention odin
you just need to plug your phone in then plug in any other usb dongle and the option to connect to mass storage will appear in the phones status bar
You mean connect my Galaxy Y with Windows 8.1 first, and then what's the USB dongle(is this like flash drive, wired mouse or something?) will detect it in phone status bar?

I have 4 of these 32gb drives and they work in all my Samsung Galaxy Smart Phones ... 3, 4, 5 and 6. They also work in all my tablets ... Tab 8, 10.1, Tab S ... They auto mount and are USB 3.0 ... AND the BEST part? They have a standard issue USB port on one end and the USB mini port on the other so they can run just about ANYWHERE on any device. They Auto Mount up as "USB Drive 1" in all the portable devices and drive letter mount in computer type situations. Well worth the 12 bucks! I hope this helped! Link for drive:

Dear devoleder
I asked about how to connect flash memory stick to my huawei p8lite
Does it support otg or not?
I see in the sitting / storage/ usb mount what can i do with it
P8 lite doesn't support otg.
Sent from my ALE-L21 using Tapatalk
I don't get it too the phone does not detect the usb flash stick and many people said that the phone does not support OTG but in storage settings there that usb mount ****, really weird...
Maybe it will work with some OTG cable not by pluging the usb stick directly into the phone who knows lol
I think it's just missing a kernel driver to support it.
AIDA64 in pheripherals shows DWC OTG Controller, pheripheral ID 1D6B-0002
Hello, OK the p8 lite didn't support otg cable/stick but with twrp and a otg stick it's working fine for flashing process

Really? TWRP mounts usb stick?
In this case it's only needed a kernel driver to have it working in rom
The OTG chip exists, but the kernel lacks support for USB OTG.
then rooting the phone and installing stickmount and using an usb otg cable will solve the problem I guess

No, a kernel driver is needed before everything else.

I think the driver is not a problem. The driver is present in the kernel.
The problem is probably a stock rom or stock system problem.
There could be a possible solution with a different rom like CM or AOSP.

At last, a spark of hope for OTG! Honor 4x supports OTG and they almost have the same specs....
I'm looking to push a CWM for the P8 Lite soon when I have the time... will look into USB OTG kernel support.
I think kernel suports fully USB OTG but it's only simply disabled.
The issue is most likely that the USB port isn't providing enough power (if any) to the USB device.
Can anyone who's patched their kernel with USB OTG support (there are many apps on the Play store which do this) confirm whether this is true, using a USB Y cable?
Somebody try to use something from Huawei Honor 4C? It's almost identical phone but with smaller internal memory and USB OTG support. It also runs on Kirin 620.

I used a Y cable without effect. But I will still try.
Ps. Whole true about USB OTG Now I'm dumping memory. May be soon I will upload image with USB OTG enabled. If somebody can help me, I appreciate it.

Please try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tauruslabs.usbhostcheck , reboot, then use Y cable.
You need to be rooted to use that app
You can maybe build our own kernel with support of OTG?
Try changing line 1988 in the hisi_hi6210sft_defconfig: CONFIG_USB_OTG=y
