this is what you need

the cable that only fits in one port would be a USB 2.0 cableIt looks like the usb 3.0 otg is made to fit the 2520 it has the two different shaped plugs, i bet you could use a regular cable and it only fits the one port.
I wouldn't expect the 2520 to have an OTG connector. I would expect it to operate in host mode to attach peripherals. I would not expect it to act as a peripheral itself (for example, to attach the 2520 a PC just to expose it as a mass storage device). Has anyone tried an OTG connector?
Unfortunately, I don't have any USB Type-A to Type-A cables handy to test whether my non-OTG adapter will allow me to attach the 2520 to my PC. All of the full-sized USB cables I have lying around are Type-A to Type-B.
But the one he is USB 2.0, not USB 3.0 which uses both parts of the connector. No one has had any trouble using USB 2.0 adapters, just the 3.0 ones.If you look at the post above by Boasist, the cable he links to that is working is a OTG cable, which is why I figured that could be the issue.
But at this point, we do not know if the people using the USB 2.0 adapters are using OTG or not (we do know that one is). The USB 3.0 OTG adapter I just ordered from Ebay should ship from the US, so I hope to have it within a week, and then we will know, if Nokia does not come out with the solution before then. If I am wrong, I am only out $5. I figured it was worth the gable, as I find it hard to believe there is a hardware issue with all of our 2520's. I will post my results as soon as I get it.
Peacock93, is the USB 2.0 adapter you are having success with an OTG adapter or just a USB adapter.

Yes, that looks exactly like the one I just ordered, though I got it on Ebay for $5. I do not know if it will work or not, but for $5, it is worth a try for me. I will post my results as soon as I get it. As to enough power for an external HDD, that I do not know. You may need to find out how much power it need and fine out from Nokia if the port can handle that much power.
Only USB 2.0 connectors are working.
I think it is a software issue, because I have used the Micro USB 3 connector (the blue one) on other devices and they work fine.
I expect Nokia/Microsoft to provide the updated driver to fix this issue.
The keyboard dock uses the bottom pin connectors to provide USB 2.0 ports at the back, so they would obviously work fine.
Why doesn't my USB 3.0 OTG cable work then? This is really annoying. Does anyone have a non-OTG USB3 cable that works?Actually, if you look at the link of the cable daelumia had success with, it is a USB 3.0 OTG cable, so USB 3.0 does work if the correct cable is used, it appears.
