badhemi Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 No matter what I try, I can't get my Shield TV to display, or even open my 4TB HDD through ES File Explorer Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk in install es explorer then shut off. Plug in hardrive and turn on it will display a grey box asking to make this usb your default I just keep hitting back button to close that I then go in es explorer and it is displayed. I have no problems after that. Then it should load everytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC-3730C Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yea maybe I will try that. I am still not understanding the significance of the UUID number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badhemi Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Mine wouldnt open my 5TB, i had to factory reset my shield for it to be able to open my HDD. Im not suggesting that in any way, probably a easier way but couldnt be bothered messing so went to the extreme loljust have to uninstall and reinstall es explorer. Had no problems after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XC-3730C Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I uninstalled, and reinstalled ES File Explorer, but I still get the "Failed to open file" error message when trying to open my Samsung USB 3.0 4TB Hyperspin loaded drive. I also noticed there is no microSD card icon in ES File Explorer to represent my 4TB HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reznnate Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 in install es explorer then shut off. Plug in hardrive and turn on it will display a grey box asking to make this usb your default I just keep hitting back button to close that I then go in es explorer and it is displayed. I have no problems after that. Then it should load everytime With Android M, google added concept of 'adopted' storage that encrypts the drive and makes it the primary internal storage. It's encrypted though so you can't move it back between Android and your PC. So I recommend leaving the external Hyperspin drive as 'removable' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC-3730C Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I chose to handle the external drive as removeable, but I can't view it in ES File Explorer. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reznnate Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Here we are: Watched the video. What format is your drive? It appears Android is struggling to read it. When it works, you should see another link in /storage with the UUID of your hard-drive. This is the path you'd use in apps like Kodi, emulators, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XC-3730C Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I tried that, no luck. Perhaps reformat the drive? I already have it backed up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sting Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I tried that, no luck. Perhaps reformat the drive? I already have it backed up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Don't format, you'll be forever reformatting it!!! Plug into your PC and modify something or add a random folder, now in the bottom right there should be an option to unmount (make sure you unmount it this way) don't just unplug it, it causes the drive to corrupt. Then unplug the power on your shield, plug the drive in and then the power lead and start up. If it doesn't work the first time try restarting with it plugged in. I've noticed myself that if you just hot plug it (plug with power on) it won't read, also it won't read it if it's not been unmounted properly since Marshmallow update its really fussy. Also don't unmount from shield with power on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC-3730C Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I finally got it working! I first had the Shield TV power unplugged, plugged in my drive, then powered on the Shield TV. The issue was still there, but after I reset the Shield TV, the drive was finally recognized properly in ES File explorer. Thanks to all who helped. I hope others in my situation can benefit from my experience. The only issue is, if I turn off my Shield TV, I have to start the process all over again to have my drive recognized. Perhaps I will just put my Shield TV to sleep instead. *edit* It seems to work best to not only not power off the Shield TV (in which case you have to unplug the power from the Shield TV, and then plug it back in with the drive connected) if you go to the Settings, then Storage, it will show the drive, but sometimes the drive disappears when you go into ES File explorer. I hope there is a fix for that, because if someone wants to build an arcade cab with this setup, it would be frustrating to gave to deal with unplugging the Shield TV power supply every time.

desf69 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 OK - I have an Nvidia Shield and a number of roms and emus on the system. So I have tried quite a few different things over the last week, but I think this Hyperspin thing has defeated me. I have never written code / .ini files etc, and I have followed other guides. I can get Hyperspin to open on my Nvidia Shield with wheels and systems showing, but it doesn't know where the roms are, has no videos / images when the roms are highlighted, and doesnt launch them through an emulator I have roms, and thought I had set up the emulators but NO!!!! I Have pm'd a few people who might help, but i think it almost needs a 'pre-beginners guide' or guide for dummies assuming literally no knowledge of the android system or hyperspin programme (sorry). I realise that this relies on other people to help, but all I'm saying is a single file for download with folder structure and a guide as to how to re-name subject to hard / usb drive on andorid or shield would be VERY popular (for me anyway) right now....!
