USB host working only for devices like keyboard, mouse, but USB storage does not

You should really read up on this. USB storage is completely unrelated to USB host. The same thing every single person has replied to every single time any similar comment has been posted on here, Google Plus, Google Groups, the larget internet, etc.

You might even go so far as to consult Google WHY USB Storage doesn't work on the Galaxy Nexus. Then you would also understand that it is not something that will change.

I can't get my computer to recognize the phone in Odin mode. I was able to get the ADB drivers installed with PDAnet and Fastboot worked just fine. However when I connect with Odin it looks for SAMSUNG USB DRIVER which Windows Update won't find. Because of this Odin doesn't see the phone. I uninstalled and reinstalled PDAnet twice, choosing to reinstall the drivers both times, but I still can't get it to work. Am I missing something?

KIES will install the right drivers... not sure if PDANet does.

The only problem I'm having is the email exchange crashes when I open it is there a fix for this?

Does anyone know how to use the full original image? Odin crashes every time!!!

 

[Chainfire]

The full original image is a series of fastboot images... the .sh file is a Linux script to flash it through fastboot.

Thank you ChainFire! The way the files were packaged puzzled me....Got it working!

Kies did the trick, thank you! I'm just curious, what's the advantage of using Odin rather than having a flashable ROM to install with CWM?

 

[ljwnow]

the same !

It's been answered. Use winrar unzip the file twice. Then you'll see the real face of the files.

Sure, it's unrelated to USB-OTG but it's also unrelated to the G+ posts you are talking about. They mention the phone itself not offering it's partitions over UMS. He is talking about getting the phone to recognize USB-drives though. It's certainly possible since PaulOBrien already got it to work in a custom kernel.

You should let people know to remove their SIM before flashing, assuming this flashes the Radio as well.

Is that a problem? I never had any problem

Whats the advantage over a flashable ROM with CWM ?

The update.zip format is just completely not meant to do complete firmware flashes. With the right script it'll work though. Zips are for archives, not for images.

But ODIN will always work. CWM zip files only work if you have CWM, and I want to use less and less stuff that depends on CWM.

Why ?

In all my flashing history, which goes back a few years and across platform, I have never removed the SIM when flashing, and everything still works ...

The phone does recognize USB drives, it just doesn't automagically mount them for you.
