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

Embarrassing problem - can't seem to mount the external SD card on computer! The card worked with my previous phone (the almighty Dell Streak), and it's recognised by the Note too, can write and read to it no problem on the phone
I've enabled USB Debug, and connected the USB to computer, two empty removable drives appear in My Computer, but nothing mounts! So I'm not able to transfer anything across.
Any suggestions?
Here's how its done:
1. Disable USB debugging
2. Plug cable into your Note, don't connect to your computer yet
3. Go to Settings/Wireless and Network/USB Utilities
4. Click 'Connect storage to PC'
5. Note will tell you to plug your cable into PC
6. Click 'Connect storage to PC' (Note)
7. PC will mount both your cards
8. You're done.
Thanks, different way of doing it than when I was on the Dell. =]
The computer still loads up both drives as "empty" ones though.

Your computer probably doesn't have proper Samsung drivers. Download them from here:

Thanks, that sorted it =]
I'm glad you got there in the end.
Hello,
To all SGS holders with JB-
I just found this method- go to recovery->mounts and storage->mount external USB storage->done!
NOTE: I have noticed that even if I press unmount, the USB Storage is stiil mounted to pc.
Enjoy!
PS: Comment and let me know if it works for you :good:
I recently purchased a 64GB USB/OTG combo flash drive, but having trouble using it as my backup drive for Titanium Backup.
Currently on Nexus 6 CM13 nightly 20160412. The phone actually mounts the USB without the help of Stickmount, and is visible to both the Android system AND ES File Explorer, but it just can't be seen by Titanium Backup. Anyone have a solution? I've tried with and without Stickmount, but Stickmount actually doesn't seem to make any difference in anything.
And actually, now that I try, it won't mount on TWRP either. It's formatted NTFS. Unfortunately my computer is on Windows 10 and will only format in NTFS or exFAT and my phone/ES File Explorer wouldn't even recognize the OTG Flash drive when it was formatted in exFAT.
I'm sure SOMEONE is using otg usb to backup TWRP and TiBu, right? What's your setup? Thanks!
OK, so got USB OTG to work with TWRP by formatting my USB OTG flash drive to FAT32. This was difficult because it's not an option in Windows 10... only exFAT and NTFS, neither of which worked in TWRP. I had to download the following program to format my drive to FAT32:
http://www.verbatim.com/index/search.php?words=fat32+tool
Still trying to get the drive to be seen by TiBu though... can't find it anywhere... =/
Ah hah... I got it... so after much fumbling around, I have my drive formatted in FAT32, StickMount is NOT needed with Marshmallow. You go to TiBu, Menu, Preferences, Backup folder location, and click on "Storage provider" and change to "DocumentProvider storage". From there, you need to click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner that say "Show Internal Memory" and then, for some reason, the USB OTG drive pops up... select that, and then TiBu can backup to the external flash drive. Not so straightforward. Hope this helps someone else.
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?
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.
