Usb otg support for Android 5.1.1

Im experiencing problems connecting usb drive to the xperia z3. The phone charges ok via usb. It also connects to pc via usb.
So i don't know what the problem is with usb mass storage connection!

Kindly assist

NB:
I did usb host diagnosis and found api support with question marks and also kernel had question marks.
Does this mean it has software related isssues then? Probably a bug and will go with the next update

Any more ideas guys? I did a full factory reset, wiping internal storage but still no luck
Unless now there's no way, then only option us to wait for an update.
Feeling so frustrated!

I don't know why this is marked as a solution PCC repair DOES NOTHING. I have a D6633 and I have not been able to use a USB OTG (either via a cable or a propper USB OTG pen drive) since updating to 5.1.1 on my D6633, I have done the repair, I have even tried different Firmware versions with NO LUCK.

My guess, Sony, in all it's wisdom has enabled it for some regions and disabled it for others. That's the only logical answer to some people being able to use it and others not.

WHY SONY DOES NOT BOTHER TO RESPOND TO USERS? It's beyond me.

So, thank sony for breaking it for you......

@lokrsw

Will do, thanks

edited.... tried, tested, worked. CE1 rom has USB OTG, working in fat32 and ExFat, thank you.

Also, a friend @xda tested the PT version and it also worked.
