USB OTG issues on sk17i

[CappyT]

Hi all...
I was reading about the usb otg support of our devices, like mini, minipro, active & live with walkman...
I flashed my phone to stock .69 fw with X kernel (a kernel that support usb otg)
But i have an issue... When i connect my usb mouse or whatever device, it doesn't power on!
It seems there is not energy supplied by my phone...
What I am doing wrong?

According to official white paper, Xperia Mini Pro(SK17i) doesn't have USB OTG support in stock ROM.
Easier words - Your phone doesn't have OTG support. Only kernel will not help. ROM has to support it also.

And I am not aware of any custom ROMs supporting that.

Go read Official White Paper, you will see that there is no USB On-The-Go listed there.

Ok, so, i have the .ko modules, kernel that support usb otg, it can work on the stock rom, according to what users say...

Anyone with working USB OTG on the stock rom?

I'm on stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM/kernel and I'm using mouse or keyboard without any problems. I use Nokia USB OTG cable that cost about $5 (16,40 PLN ) with shipping.

However to use pendrives you need tool to mount your external memory into system so you can use it and ROOT is required.

EDIT:
The cable 'name' is:
Nokia CA-157


I think whole Xperia 2011 line have support for USB OTG. All you need is right FW.
