Hi Devgee, would you mind to let me know whether your HTC One S is still with stock kernel and if yes, which module did you use to make this app working in One S?

It should be rooted and custom Rom flashed!

Devgee and Terror Apple. Thanks for the reply. I have ordered the OTG cable. My HTC One S is still untouched and unrooted with ICS 4.0.3 and Kernel 3.0.8. Do you think the USB OTG Helper will work with my HTC ONE S? Do I have to flash a custom ROM or Kernel to make OTG work with OTG Helper?
Waiting for ViperOneS JB release but is it now possible using USB OTG without all these cables?
Now this kernel has full OTG support with power from usb.

Hi guys. This has probably been asked already but I have an unrooted HTC one s running JB. Does OTG work and provide power via the Ian port on the standard official rom with just the OTG cable?
My One S is Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (un-rooted)
The problem I have is basically this.
I have a Micro-B Usb Otg On The Go Cable and Integral MicroSD USB Card Reader with a 32gb Micro SD.
When I first put all this together and plugged into the USB slot of the phone everything was fine, the little red light on the Integral MicroSD USB Card Reader was lit up. The message of Unable To Charge Device was coming up but the phone was also mounting the storage for reading via Astro File Manager no problem, so I was able to play MP3's and 4's and so on. But then it literally just stopped reading the Micro SD card and the Micro USB Card Reader is not lighting up at all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am at a lost as to why it would be working perfectly one second and then not another.
Thanks you.
It all depends on how much battery you have. If I remember correctly, less that 45 percent makes OTG not usable for me.

USB host lets you hook up external USB devices to your phone, like a keyboard, mouse, USB drive, etc..
Unlike devices which are designed to support USB host, the One S doesn't provide power to the peripheral. That means we need a few more adapters/cables to get it to work (and we need an external power source).
Purchase links are listed for all the required cables/adapters.
You will need:
- USB Host adapter (The otherwise unused 5th pin on a micro-usb connector is grounded) dx.com/m-129671
- Mini USB power Y cable (this kind of cable is often packaged with portable hard drives) dx.com/u-65630
- Mini USB Female to USB A Female adapter This package comes with two, but you only need one. dx.com/u-55613
- Your charger
Assemble the cable:
That's all. As long as your ROM supports the peripheral, it will work.
- The micro USB of the "USB Host adapter" connects to your phone.
- Your peripheral plugs into the female end of the "Mini USB Female to USB A Female adapter"
- The "Mini USB power Y cable" has three connectors:
- Mini USB connector - connects to the "Mini USB Female to USB A Female adapter"
- Male USB A Power (the thinner wire) - connects to your charger
- Male USB A - connects to the "USB Host adapter"
Some fun peripherals to try:
- Powered USB hub (You can also power the adapter from one of the hub's ports)
- Keyboard
- Mouse (a cursor will appear on your device)
- USB flash drives and USB hard drives must be FAT32. You have to run a few commands to use a USB drive. Mount manually from the shell (use Connectbot or Terminal Emulator):
To unmount:Code:su mkdir /mnt/sdcard/usb mount -o uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702 /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/usb
Code:su umount /mnt/sdcard/usb
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/usb
mount -o uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702 /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/usb
su
umount /mnt/sdcard/usb

If you are on T-Mobile stock ROM, even if rooted, I don't think it'll work. The ROM needs USB host support, which is configured in the kernel, so a custom Rom would be the way to go (which one? Sorry, I don't know...). Of course if you can get another USB storage device to work on the stock ROM, then I'm wrong about the ROMs, haha. From the dmesg I don't see anything about any external USB device. I find that odd, since I would expect at least a blip on the dmesg, but then again, it could be related to the lack of USB host support... Could anyone verify my claims about the kernel USB support and the ROMs?
Edit: My One S isn't rooted, so I can't test this right now. I think your best bet would be to try different devices. Also, after you issue the mount command, just type the command "mount" and press enter. If it mounted it, somewhere it that long blurb there should be mention of an sd* device along with /mnt/sdcard/usb as mount point. Also check in Astro by going to /mnt/sdcard/usb after mounting to see if there is something there. Hope that helps!

Hello,
I'm French so please excuse me for my english.
Just one question.
I understand nothing with custom ROMs (and i don't want to modify the phone).
Do i need to do something on the phone or your solution with only a couple of cables, an adaptor, a power (i mean a battery like a TeckNet Dual-Port 7000mAh) AND my micro sd card reader (USB), all that will be sufficient to make the deal? I mean i will be able to read the files (.flac music files) of the micro sd or sd card?
Thank you
