I have built a flashable zip to replace the kernel in your recovery image with one that supports USB-OTG. I have repacked the TWRP 2.6.0.0 recovery image with a different kernel that enables the use of USB-OTG when booted to recovery. The kernel is taken from Ziddey's patch for externally powered usb-otg and is a modified version of Franko's kernel. See that thread for more info on the kernel. (Note that this won't change the kernel used in your rom, only within TWRP).
Currently, TWRP is the only recovery I know of that supports USB-OTG. So while you can probably run this without problems on other recoveries, it like won't do anything useful either.
I didn't actually develop anything here other than the script in the zip. I just used unpackbootimg to extract the kernel from ziddey's boot.img and extract the ramdisk from twrp's recovery.img the recovery installed on your phone, then build a new recovery image using those parts with mkbootimg.
This will not work with a standard, unpowered OTG cable!
Try this at your own risk. It works for me, but I am not responsible if anything goes wrong.
Requirements
An unlocked Nexus 4 (with TWRP installed)
A USB OTG Y-cable. It should have a female regular USB, and both female and male micro-USB.
Flash Drive (As of TWRP 2.6.3.0, FAT, exFat, and ext4 format worked, ntfs and f2fs didn't)
Micro-USB power source (charger, battery, tiny gasoline generator, solar panels, finely tuned potatoes, etc)
Changes
2013-10-05
Complete rebuild to do the work of replacing the kernel on your phone so I don't have to update every time TWRP does.
Updated to Ziddey's kernel 2013.10.01 1954ET r188 for JSS/JLS
2013-09-19
Original release
Installation (zip method)
Download the zip file to your phone
Boot into your phone's recovery (CWM / TWRP)
Flash the zip
Reboot to recovery
Repeat these steps after upgrading your recovery image.
Use
Boot into recovery
Connect flash drive and charger to OTG Y-cable.
Connect Y-cable to phone.
You should now be about to mount USB-OTG, select it for backup/restore, browse it with file manager, etc

Ziddey - For his modifications to the kernel that made this possible (see thread linked above)
TeamWin - For TWRP recovery
Franko - For his kernel
Fkrone - For his flashable zip for CWM Recovery that I based mine off of
Koush - For his AnyKernel updater. I used it as an example and for the binaries.

If you want to or are already using Ziddey's method to enable USB-OTG in your rom, he has made a flashable zip that will copy the kernel installed for your rom to your recovery. See Post #13 for more info and to download.

This is great! Thanks. :good:
Hah, awesome thinking! I had foolishly assumed the recovery used a stripped down kernel.
I see you used the JSS kernel. Good to know it works with twrp 2.6.0.0. Have you considered a sort of "anyrecovery" implementation? So long as the recovery in question supports otg properly (can't remember if cwm even had the option), it should work. Worst case, the user will have to flash a known good recovery via fastboot or android (say goomanager).
Sorry you didn't even make it one post before some goon decided to quote the first post

I've never actually used CWM on this phone and haven't used it on any device for about a year, so I don't know if they even support OTG. If they do, I can add in the kernel and it should probably work.

I thought about the "AnyRecovery" idea. Its definitely possible since I actually did all the work on the phone over adb just because I didn't feel like finding the code for unpackbootimg and mkbootimg to compile for x86. If CWM supports OTG, I may do it, otherwise it will probably just cause confusion. Thanks for your work on the kernel by the way.
EDIT: As far as I can tell, CWM does not support OTG. Does anyone know of any other recovery that has support? I may make the AnyRecovery thing anyways just to support future version of TWRP, but I'll probably wait until the next version of TWRP or ziddey's kernel is ready.
Well this is awesome! Thanks for the good job...
However, does this have the issue found on regular TWRP 2.6.0.0 where you can't move your backup afterwards?
Also, it is easy to test making a backup, but has someone tried restoring from a backup? I wouldn't want to notice it doesn't work when I really need it!
Very useful will try it when i have the time...
Thanks

Could always do an "any-any" where it'd essentially be script only-- dump existing boot kernel and recovery ramdisk, make new image, and flash as recovery.

This completely overwrites the recovery partition, so flashing it will put you back at 2.6.0.0. I plan to make the next version only flash the kernel to whatever recovery you have installed.

Thanks for the info. No wonder it appears to work.:laugh:
Crosspost:
I made a sort of "any-any" recovery mod: recoverymod.zip
It replaces the recovery's kernel with the boot kernel. Flashing this after the main OTG patch will therefore also apply the OTG-enabled kernel to the recovery. From there, it's up to the recovery to "natively" support usb devices. TWRP does. For any that don't, you'll have to manually mount partitions via adb.
Do understand what you're getting into-- if recovery for some reason fails to load, you'll have to be capable of reflashing it, be it via fastboot, goomanager, or however else.
I've tested this with TWRP 2.6.1.0.

Ah, it was a crosspost from my OTG thread. It depends on you having my otg patch installed since it merely copies the boot kernel to the recovery kernel.

I tried this but the usb-otg option in "backup" is not "clickable"...and in terminal, I see "unable to mount usb-otg" everytime I tried clicking the option...
Am I missing something...?

Good news everybody!
I finally had some time to update this. If you're already using Ziddey's stuff to enable USB-OTG in your rom, then his Any-Any method above will work just a well for you, but if your like me and only care about USB-OTG for backups in recovery, this is for you. See the OP for more info, but basically this will replace the kernel of whatever recovery you currently have installed with one the one that is included in the zip, which should enable OTG support in TWRP and probably do nothing (or maybe blow up) in other recoveries.
Sorry this took so long. I finally got a real, paid development job :victory: so I haven't had as much time for messing around with my phone.
Will this work with Meenova?
Hey Guys,
I have scoured forums for hours trying to copy solutions and i am at wits end.
I was running the latest version of arhd and chose to switch to Paranoid. In recovery, as you do, i accidentally formatted everything so now there is no directory, roms etc on the phone at all.
I am able to get into recovery but adb sideload wont work. I can sometimes get ADB to recognize the device but it wont allow me to push or sideload. I really don't know what else to do. Any information i can give you please let me know.
Regards
Check that you have the latest version of adb installed, then you should get sideload to work.

Hey thanks Paul, I currently have Clockwork mod recovery 6.0.3.1 that i am able to get into, but when i go to "install zip from sideload" it says "failed to open driver control: no such file or directory" twice.

Just to confirm, CWM wont allow me to mount anything, i have nothing on the phone (no roms, recoveries etc), when i reboot the phone and allow it to sit on the htc screen with red warning text, i can sometimes get the device recognised by adb however, when trying to push or sideload anything onto it, it tells me i do not have permissions or that it is read only.

This link should give you a copy of a Stock nandroid backup, but for the 64gb Dev Edition. Not sure what phone you have.

Basically you need the latest version of HTC driver for your pc, plus latest adb on pc and latest cwm or twrp recovery on your HTC One
It's been a while since I used CWM recovery as I now prefer twrp recovery.
However you seem to have a fairly old version of cwm recovery, I would suggest first flashing a more recent recovery, either cwm or twrp.
Then reboot to recovery, check that your HTC One is seen on pc by typing adb devices
It should list the serial number of your phone.
Then select sideload options in recovery, then follow instructions, which is usually
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
Hope this helps

Ive noticed many people with older TWRP versions having problems with the updater script when installing 4.4 roms you need to be on the latest version of twrp (CWM may also need to be on a recent version). This tutorial will cover TWRP. Goo manager will not work for installing the latest TWRP recovery version on grouper. The following will give you the basics on how to use fastboot to flash a recovery.img (In this case twrp)
Things you will need:
A PC
Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
TWRP recovery.img for grouper http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper
A basic understanding of terminal/command prompt
You will need a PC and the android SDK (SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) for fastboot to push the recovery file. TWRP can be found here (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper) you need the 2.6.3.0 version. Extract your android sdk and move your twrp image file (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-grouper.img) to the platform-tools folder in the sdk (This is where fastboot/adb are). For simplicity's sake rename your twrp file to recovery.img Enter command prompt or terminal depending on what OS you are using (windows/linux) and navigate to to your platform-tools folder in the SDK folder (where you should have moved your recovery.img) using the cd command. (plug device in) Once there check to see if you device is connected and seen with the adb devices command hopefully you will see a wonky alpha numeric code with "device" after it. If you dont you need to enter developer setting to enable adb. You do that by going into settings/about tablet and tapping build number 7 times. That should give you a developer options in settings check to make sure USB debugging is enabled. If all is well reboot your device into the boot loader with the adb reboot bootloader command once your device is at the bootloader check fastboot with fastboot devices you should see another wonky output with "fastboot" after it. The final command to push your new twrp image will be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img You should see some output saying how long it took to push the file it should not take that long. That should cover it! Now you should be good to go with the 4.4 rom's floating around.
There are many tutorials online explaining this process I just thought customizing it to the grouper would help those less comfortable with adb/fastboot. It's always a good idea to know how to use these tools you never know when you might need to use them. Anyone with question's feel free to ask.
Or just install flashify and it basically does all of this for you. I did it and it worked.

Actually it's suited to the General section (guides and all). I appreciate you advising the fastboot method (I use it too), but it can b a pain for people who don't have their devices configured (configuring it can be a pain sometimes too). Flashify, as one member said, is a great alternative. BUT you *may* brick your device if you flash something to the wrong block device (possibility of that happening to an expert user: 0.0001%; possibility of that happening to a new user: 1%). Just my two cents.
I agree guys this should be in general. I've never posted anything but a build and didn't even think about it. Do I need to get a mod to move it? As for flashify sounds like a great tool. I've never had the pleasure of using it but if it works and people are comfortable with it more power to it. Personally fastboot is what I'm comfortable with it might seem a little in depth but really its quite simple especially if you use adb for logcats and are setup.
OP No worries, moved and thank you.
To flash 4.4 ROMs one could follow this tutorial, or one could simply flash this .zip of the latest version of CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46053223
So, i've bricked it already.
Hello experts and knowledgeable persons!
First, i'm a noob.
I decided to flash KitKat as I play a WebView based game and thought the WebView Chromium of KitKat might make it run faster as it ran pretty slow. On the Paranoid Google+ page it says you need TWP 2.6 later and other sites say 2.6.x. I had 2.6.0.0, so did a backup of boot, data, system and recovery, copied to PC and then tried installing KitKat, it failed. So I updated to TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it failed again, tried a second time and it updated.
The game didn't work well on KitKat, so I restored my original version. I then decided to take screenshot of game not working on KitKat to complain, so tried installing KitKat again forgetting to update to 2.6.3.0 as the restoration of the backup restored the prevous 2.6.0.0 recovery, was a noob and tried again and i'm now left with a Nexus 7 in a boot logo loop.
Restoring the backup fails, as does installing the KitKat Zip or Opensensation . If I try flashing TWRP 2.6.3.0 via fastboot, it says success, but when I reboot the recovery i'm still in 2.6.0.0. I can boot into 2.6.3.0 using "fastboot boot", but it still won't restore the backup or flash. I also have a backup of the OpenSensation rom (wanted to try PDroid and it was the only rom I could find prepatched) which I made on 2.6.3.0, that won't restore either.
So now what do I do, as I don't want to make things worse. I am doing a factory reset before installing. The error i'm getting is "symlink: some failed"", "can't open destination log file: '/cache/recovery/log'" and "E:Unable to open '/cache/recovery/log'"

I'm sure this is not what you want to hear but if all else fails push the factory.IMG you will be starting from square one. You can try pulling your backups off but might as well start over for 4.4

Thank you very much for this recommendation. Really nice. Simple and took out all the nervousness of using the computer to push these files etc.

Won't it work too if you just flash the zip from twrp itself? I'm running 2.6.3.2 and I read somewhere that i can simply install the new version (2.7.0.0.) zip from the recovery itself..Is it right??

I am a new member of xda developers and I need your kind assistance urgently because my htc one is softbricked as I accidentally deleted my stock rom without creating a backup, I have rooted it and have twrp recovery installed in it.
it has s-on and unlocked on recovery screen, I have tried using adb sidelock to flash android 4.4 official rom but its not working, I have attached the screenshot of the error I am facing.
I have also attached the method I have used to flash a rom using twrp and adb sideload, neither does the sideload works nor does the recovery even though it shows my phone is connected to it but still it doesnt work please help

download 2.6.3.3 from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
make sure MD5 is correct, otherwise it's a bad download
(don't use a download manager on that site, it will fail)
then in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery
Thanks

Hey thanks for your help, I may sound irritating but I still don't understand how to perform the process.
I understood that I need to download twrp from the link you have shared but as i have told before that my usb connection is not shown on my pc when I connect my htc one to it how should a install the downloaded twrp on my phone without it being connected.
Can you be more specific about what I need to do because I am new to this process
then in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I dont understand the above pasted process please guide thanks

Possible cm11 without cwm?
Hey guys, I'm wondering if it is possible to just unlock the bootloader and flash cm11 through fastboot as I want my phone to have USB Storage. Staying on stock rom is not an option, so if there is any other way that is easy and does not require internet to place files from my computer onto my phone please enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

you can not flash a custom rom from fastboot, it must be flashed from custom recovery. You can download the rom and put it on your internal storage using adb push, adb sideload or flash directly from a usb drive using a usb-otg cable.
you can find instructions how to flash CM11 on the M7 on the cyanogenmod wiki for the M7

About a usb otg cable, I'm assuming thats a micro usb to a usb in port? I'll google that too

exactly, it might be easier if you don't know how to use adb. but you'll have to purchase a cable. Using adb push isnt really hard.
install your HTC drivers
install the lastest android SDK
flash the recovery using fastboot
push the rom using adb
install the rom using the custom recovery
btw will recommend you to use twrp recovery 2.6.3.3 unless otherwise specified by the dev of the rom.

I went out and bought an otg cable, could you link me to instructions for it? are the instructions for multiple phones or model specific?

Copy your rom.zip on your usb thumb drive plug it to your phone using your otg cable. Boot in recovery, mount your usb-otg, install the rom
