I have a Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2 .
I've recently been testing things on my recently activated OTG I've tried to connect a USB Portable HDD, However when I connect the HDD the LED flashes like it's reading/writing , dmesg notices it :
<6>[12, khubd] [10776.834610] usb 1-1.4: new full speed USB device using msm_hsusb_host and address 40
<6>[12, khubd] [10777.015514] usb 1-1.4: not running at top speed;
connect to a high speed hub
<7>[12, khubd] [10777.018517] usb 1-1.4: default language 0x0409
<7>[12, khubd] [10777.021505] usb 1-1.4: udev 40, busnum 1, minor = 39

<6>[12, khubd] [10777.021567] usb 1-1.4: New USB device strings:

<6>[12, khubd] [10777.021589] usb 1-1.4: Product: StoreJet Transcend
<6>[12, khubd] [10777.021607] usb 1-1.4: Manufacturer: StoreJet

<6>[12, khubd] [10777.021624] usb 1-1.4: SerialNumber:
WD-WXF1E32VNMN1
<7>[12, khubd] [10777.022149] usb 1-1.4: uevent
done.
that is what dmesg says directly after connecting.
and when I write lsusb
on terminal emulator it returns :
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 001 Device 041: ID 058f:9254
Bus 001 Device 042: ID 174c:5106
one of them is always there,and another one is the USB Hub ,and another is the USB HDD
I already successfully mounted an NTFS Flash Drive (Fromatted using Minitool partition wizard,mounted using Paragon NTFS&HFS+) then the problem isn't the File System
EDIT :
Error when trying to mount USB flash drive that is NTFS formatted :
mount: mounting /dev/block/uba1 on /sdcard/data failed: Invalid argument
Error when trying to mount NTFS formatted portable HDD :
mount: mounting /dev/block/uba on /sdcard/data failed: No medium found
that means that the error in the HDD isn't with the NTFS file system.
EDIT #2:
I've tried this method but when I try to mount it it gives me this error :
Failed to mount '/dev/block/uba': No medium found
