Wow that's a messy cable hack!
I ordered two of these and they work fine.
I'm using them with Dane Elec micro USB adapters and 8Gb micro SD cards.

Well I had to wait 3 weeks for my wee microusb to usb cable to turn up from hk.

I am running the Indonesia 2.2

I installed the Q5 usb manager and plugged in an old usb stick.

Starting it up I see a list of block devices dm15 etc but no sda1.

I created the usb_device then rescanned, now I see sda1 and whoopee it mounts rw.

Rebooting I found that /usb_device had disappeared, I had to faff around to recreate it.

In the 2.2 build there is a /d directory, so I use that instead and it works just fine.


Great work belurussian bloke. This has to be just about the most useful utility available for rooted tablets.

Hola, Cansat. He seguido tus pasos, pero tengo problemas al crear la carpeta USB. No sé exactamente cómo hacerlo, a veces bien otras no. Cuando me aparece la carpeta y conecto el USB con un adaptador no se enciende la luz, la carpeta creada está vacía. El adaptador lo compré para otro aparato pero puede que no sea OTG.

¿sabes dónde conseguir un OTG?. Gracias.

Hello, Cansat. I followed your steps, but I have problems when creating the USB folder. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. When I connect the USB stick the light doesn't shine, the folder is empty. Maybe it is not OTG. Can you tell me where to get one?. Thanks.

1.- abre el programa
2.-inserta el cable y el pen
3.- espera que se encienda y se apague la luz
4.- luego da a escanear en el programa y te rellena los campos, en la ubicacion yo utilizo el directorio d que esta vacio en la raiz
5.- y luego le indico que se monte, recuerda que al salir decirle que lo desmonte

Espero que te sirva me puedes encontrar aquí

Aquí he subido en castellano la explicacion y hay enlaces a conectores OTG
