[Q] KitKat OTG fix [XT1058][SOLVED]

[themaker69]

I've just bought an OTG cable, and I realize that it's not working in 4.4. I know that some apps can "fix" this for data access, but I still can't use my Xbox 360 controller, mouse, keyboard, HDMI, etc. So, I'm wondering if someone is working in a fix (even Motorola), or we've lost the OTG support forever.

I have 4.4 and have no issues using otg cable. I've used mice,keyboards and flash drives ( mount with stickmount ) . did u try the cable in another device to rule out cable problems ?

I don't have another device to try, but I tried to use the OTG cable to supply energy, and it worked. Sitickmount didn't work for me. You're luck, many of us lost the OTG functionality after KitKat:

I gained root with an unlocked bootloader, TWRP and Supersu. I have 4.4 and OTG works perfectly for me with Stickmount (requires root.)

I did the same thing, but I lost the OTG support.

I can't help but think either your otg cable is not up to spec or stickmount needs to be allowed root access. Check your supersu to make sure stickmount is included. Otherwise, try another cable. OTG definitely works with 4.4 and stickmount on a rooted device.

Stickmount definitely works on the stock 4.4 rom. I tried it earlier today and it worked exactly as it should.

With or without root?

Root access is ok, but I realized that my cable is not working after testing with a Moto G and Galaxy S3. I will try to buy a new one and try again...

EDIT: I bought a new OTG cable, and it worked with Stickmount!
