First thing: you need to download Kingoroot and force the installation of Kingoroot.


Second: you need to download the catalogue f-droid and the updates for the mirrors.


When the updates will be finished; in the catalogue you need to search and download adb, busybox, terms,  920 Text Editor, VimTouch


Third thing: you must to load terms and near the local host you must to type su and then push the key enter


left opened terms


now, load Kingoroot and you will see the tree unlocked


now turn back on terms,  move the finger to the top to your right, you will see written More push on it and open a new window of dialogue


now write


cd /system/etc/permessions and type the key enter


now type: ls and push the key enter


you will see that in the subdirectory /permissions is not available


android.hardware.usb.host.xml


that is necessary to have the usb port as host and not client mode only.


anyway you can modify android.hardware.usb.host.xml


start to read h t tp s : / /github . c o m /452/USBHIDTerminal/wiki/How-to-enable-USB-host-API-support


and you will find written how to enable the USB port in host.

Folks,

Samsung A5 2017 mobile supports USB. The thing u need to do is get type C OTG Cable from market because the adapter received along with phone is good for charging only..

I got samsung a5 before 3 days and I am successfully using OTG Cable to connect my pen drive..cheers

Hey guys. A5 is one of the best smartphones I have ever used. But sorry to say; the Galaxy A5 loses its OTG support after being upgraded to Android Lollipop or marshmallow. It's upgraded OS doesn't support OTG.

this is.. really.. shocking... i mean, the brand new series Samsung said have EVERYTHING doesn't support OTG... i just bought sandisk dual drive without checking the compatible list because i'm pretty sure A5 would support OTG but speechlessly it doesn't, and now i'm very upset because i bought a 64GB drive for nothing. Should i try those marshmallow unnofficial or update it first to Lollipop? because i haven't update mine yet since i bought it last February 2015 (still Kit Kat 4.4).. Some people said it can run just fine on 5.0 but i doubt it? Because i tried the dual drive on my friend's A3 2016 edition which is Lollipop but i can't detect the drive either.. How dissapointing for a $400 phone..
