ok, I understand about the mtp / usb mass storage issue but i have read people saying they mounted usb while in recovery.
i have tried cwm and teamwin but it says unable to mount storage..
is there anyway to do this where i can get pc or mac to recognise the phone as a drive so i can try and recovery my data? have lost everything, i know my own fault but need to find a solution
thanks
If i connect my USB stick via a USB OTG cable it perfectly recognises my usb stick. If i boot to recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.2) the usb stick is not being recognized. What is the problem?

I can not mount it in recovery because i cant selcet usb otg in the mount menu.
I although tried to partition the usb stick to a ext4, fat and fat32 partition, but nothing is being recognized by the recovery. Another usb stick does not work, too...

sometimes i have to check usb-otg a couple of times before it mounts you also might want to downgrade twrp to 2.6.3.0 and see if that works i had trouble with newer versions of twrp
sorry if this is a noob question but does a normal usb-otg cord work in twrp? I can't get it to work. Or do I need a otg y cable so it is powered? never used one so I came to ask here. I would like to copy all my titanium backup data and nandroids to my flash drive to save memory on my phone

yes it works in TWRP, you just need to mount it, if it didnt mount automatically.

when I tap mount it doesnt do anything. Im on the newest version 2.6.3.3 i think. should I go back to an older version? maybe one that someone can confirm it working?

i don't have it with me, but i'll check later (in a few hours), but if i remember correctly it does work; is the usb formatted as FAT32, seems sometimes exFat has problems.

I just tried both 2.6.3.4 and 2.6.3.3 and both work fine:
Rebooted into TWRP, connected OTG cabe + 64GB USB (FAT32 formatted, though I remember exFAT also working for me), in recovery:
Mount -> select USB-OTG
Advanced -> File Manager -> /usb-otg
==> all files were there.

@ZeRo2o9
you can also plug in the usb-otg and reboot to recovery
choose backup or install and where it says Storage click it one time and then choose USB OTG and hit back and it will be mounted when you choose install or backup again.
Thanks for all the replies. Turns out I didn't know I had the usb formatted to ntfs when I used it before lol formatted it to fat32 and it worked. thanks!
Is there any way to use usb otg to make backups through cwm?
Also i am trying to transfer a cwm backup from my device to pc using the following command
adp pull /data/media/clockworkmod c:/backup
and iam getting the following error
remote object '/data/media/clockworkmod' does not exist
Any clues?
Also does adb work through rescuemode?
i have 4 questions, with short answers
my MI5 has TWRP3.1 + root+ bootloader unlocked+ global developer rom 8.3
all ok perfect. with TWRP i did factory reset ( which contains data and chache wipe) to have everything clean.
But
i still have some old application folders, files, even my old media inside the phone!
how to clean them? i want to delete all files which is not about new system.
1) in TWRP;
advanced - wipe system
or
advanced - wipe internal storage?
which one?
2) and if i delete all, i want to reflash new rom without quiting from TWRP,
, but new rom zip file will be deleted also i think ! so how can i reflash?
3)
i ve changed imei number of my phone , i hope my new imei number will not be deleted?
1. You also need to wipe internal storage.
2. You can still use mtp to pc or usb otg in twrp.
3. I don't know, sorry.

thanks,
while on TWRP its possbile to mtp to pc, but
after internal storage wipe, its not possbile to mtp to pc while on TWRP.
so, without quiting twrp screen, i used adb side load option of TWRP and flashed the rom from PC. ( i dont have otg cable)
and now its full clean system :good::good:
EDiT: imei numbers still exists.

After wiping internal storage, reboot twrp and reconnect to pc again. This way you can see internal storage in pc.
Flash zips via Adb Sideload is very useful when you have a computer with ADB cmd.
You can easily use MTP from TWRP.
or get an OTG cable.
As you changed your IMEI, Keep a backup of EFS partition from TWRP and upload it to Google drive.
if you get any error on network then just restore the efs backup from twrp.

Please advise the command Adb Sideload to upload the zip file.
Thanks
