Try it with a memory card reader + memory card. There are more reports of them working than USB drives

otg (kingston dual usb/micro usb) flash drive has stopped working?

i used to be able to connect my flash drive directly to the device and browse files using es file explorer
kingston 64gb dual usb 2.0
but now it doesnt work and only works if i connect the supplied otg cable which defeats the purpose of why i bought the flash drive
now i know according to the kingston website my device isnt listed, but it used to work
is there anything i can do to fix this? is there something stopping it from working e..g app?

How to use OTG in TWRP?

Hi guys,
I installed the latest TWRP in my phone, when I tried to backup my ROM I noticed there is an OTG option, I've an Y-Cable, so I formated my usb drive to fat32 and plug in together, I rebooted the recovery, however nothing works, can anybody know how can I make backup to external storage? Thanks!!

1. Reboot to recovery
2. Plug in otg device
3. Go to mounts and mount the otg device
4. Go to backup
5. Hit the bar below the check boxes that says internal storage
6. Change to Otg
7. Backup as usual

Hi Red,
Ive already tried your options. However the otg device was showing 0mb in the mount menu. I've already formatted to fat32. Which otg cable type are you using? Does our device need external power?

It works with my otg cable with an old 512mb thumb drive in it. It also works with my 32gb Micro USB thumb drive.
You may have to hit the refresh sizes button to see something other than 0mb

I changed my otg cable to the traditional one (not the Y-Cable), it's working now
However, there are some weird things happened on my usb drive, I have two Kingstone DataTraveler usb drive and both of them have 8GB space, same model same space, same fat32 format. Both of them can be recognized by my computer, however only one of them can be recognized by my phone.

Try plugging in while the phone is running and format with the phone

TWRP OTG support?

I have a 64 gb corsair USB stick. On one end it has a normal usb port to plug into the PC, and on the other end, is a micro sd port for use with phones. I can use the external storage fine while booted into Android. However, I'm tryign to use it for TWRP backups, but I cannot get it to show up. I have tried mounting USB-OTG in TWRP (I'm using 3.0.2) and selecting the USB-OTG storage, but nothing happens.
Any suggestions?

how to expand storage in CCwGTV?

is there a way to add more storage to google chromecast with google tv? i've tried many methods to have CC recognize my 128gb usb 3.0 fat32 flashdrive. I've gotten a usb c hub adapter with ethernet port, i've plugged the fat32 usb flash drive, formated it in google tv as internal storage, google tv sees the flash drive but i won't allow me to use it to transfer files, use it as extra sotrage etc etc. Anyone got a work around? I've factory reset this device but no luck.

Not really a work-around.

yes i formated it using my windows laptop to fat32, then plugged it to the usb c hub, formatted it again using ccwgtv as internal stoage but still can't use the flashdrive for anything. If anyone here was able to expland their CCwGTV, please post the steps here. Thank you.

I used an old 16GB USB 2.0 stick, formated with AOMEI on a windows laptop, inserted into a USB type C hub to my CCwGTV and now in
Settings/Storage
in the internal storage I can see the 4,4 GB original space plus the 14,8 GB usb stick.
I also own a 256 GB USB 3.0 stick, inserted into the USB type C hub's second slot, which is presented as "External disk" in the storage menu.
