Has anyone been able to mount a USB otg adapter on the new 5.1 update? I can not get my 32 gig sd card to mount in settings but I can read it with es file explorer? Any one have any idea as to how to get it working in settings also to see how much storage has been used and such?

My otg didn't work in 5.0 either only in 444. It's a kernel issue. Not found any work around so far except to use otg in twrp and even then had to be older version of twrp

Works fine for me. It has worked for me on 4.4.4, 5.0, and 5.1.

I was able to get mine to work by using es explorer and unmount the drive with it and then my phone would mount correctly. I have to do that each time I want to use my otg adapter.

For those that say it is working, are you using an Sdcard reader or a otg thumb drive?
I'm using a meenova otg adapter.

Its definitely kernel related... this is why newer versions of twrp have the same issue but older versions do not. TWRP updated the kernel base after 2850 to a 5.0 base
I've also had issues mounting my meenova. I gave up and went to a flash drive with a micro-usb port and it works every time.
I sure do miss my meenova though.
I could not get my 64GB card (meenova adapter) to mount in TWRP. I could however copy a TWRP backup to the card using Root Explorer. Attempting to format the card I found out that windows 7 will only format Fat32 up to 32GB without additional software. Grabbed a 16GB card and successfully did a backup and restore using TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Res remix 5.4.9
twrp 2.8.5.0 has full sdcard support i use it daily

Back when I had the Evo 4g LTE, I could mount the phone as a disk drive in TWRP recovery to transfer files such as roms. I was wondering if there's a way to do that with the HTC One?
Not in twrp. The HTC one has internal storage not removable storage. You can sideload from twrp but that's about it

Thanks for the answer

Mounting will no longer be available in any recovery because the internal storage is formatted as ext4 whereas it use to be FAT on the LTE. The latter is USB mountable, the former is not.
The closest you can now get to this functionality is to use USB-OTG.

I have Marshmallow installed. When I plug my thumb drive or SD card reader into my OTG cable and plug it in, my Nexus 6 sees it. I can browse the thumbdrive in the default file explorer.
How do I get other apps (such as Poweramp) to see the thumb drive? Can I do this without root?

Short answer, no.
If the app isnt designed to look in other media devices, you'll need root to make those devices visible within the folders that the app can see.. Example, create a folder in sdcard called USB and use folder mount to mount the USB stick in there.
So basically USB OTG is worthless in Marshmallow?

Just root and use Stickmount.
I did that with Lollipop. Since Marshmallow was supposed to support USB OTG without root, I didn't root when I installed Marshmallow. I just can't figure out what the point of it is in the non rooted form. All it does, at best, is maybe copy files to and from a USB drive. Other than that, not much you can do with it without rooting your phone.

It's your apps fault, not marshmallow. Apps will need to be updated and some just won't be.
My turbo has a newly unlocked bootloader, thanks to beaups and jcase. I have TWRP installed and I'm ready to flash some ROMs, but TWRPs USB-OTG won't functions.
Has anyone used it yet that can help me?
I was just going to ask about otg ( for different reasons) I have a sandisk 64 gb flash drive (formated exFat) my phone sees it but won't open or format it. Any thoughts?

I had no issues with a 32gb sd card with otg adaptor formatted fat32. Read and write very fast, twrp recognized everything.
USB-OTG /dev/block/sda1 already exist.

Check second post of TWRP thread there is a help we use it for months all the bug are resolved.... Today TWRP only access FAT32 drivers not a bug, to access other format like NTFS generates a bug that make the device not boot at all..

ntfs needs a special boardconfig flag... did you already tried?
TW_INCLUDE_NTFS_3G := true
not sure i totlay get it, mine will read other flash/thumb drives, just not my 64 gb one. The larger one is formatted exFAT and are the smaller ones are formatted to FAT 32. is this a hardware or OS software issue?

yes on the kernel too doesn't boot. but months ago it may work if i make a new one today, waiting on the official release of TWRP 2.8.8.0 made for M source to worry about that.
On the kernel is not need because the OS can use NTFS but I try to enable it on the kernel to see if that help on the TWRP but no. :good:

hm... if you have ntfs enabled ... maybe the size of twrp was too big for your recovery partition (wich will cause nonboot)

in twrp my otg is not mounting .. any idea to get it work done ..
Formatted in the wrong format, or too high of a power draw.

I have a Sandisk 32gb OTG drive, the new USB 3.0 version and my TWRP reads it fine, it backed up my stock rom nandroid to it,
Its formatted s FAT32
I don't know why my otg not detecting in twrp .. I formated to FAT32 but still it can't mount , when I'm clicking it can't check on box ..
Since we don't have an SD card slot, I am guessing a lot of folks are using OTG arrangements.
Anyone using an OTG drive with their phone for backing it up and shuttling media files back and forth?
My main need is for an external destination for backups, but I would also like to store a bunch of music for swapping off and on the phone.
I have an older small (16GB) OTG drive that I used successfully on my S4 and G2 and G3, but the Nexus does not seem to want to show the drive when I attach it.
Is there a trick to making it work or is there some hidden setting in Titanium Backup to make it visible as a destination? Is there a "best" file manager to do this?
I am rooted with TWRP and running stock MMB29V.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Update: I installed Stick Mount and it mounted my SP OTG drive and I was able to browse it, etc.
Once I did that, Ti BU could actually see it as a destination and I am happily backing up to my (older, smallish) drive.
Now, what bothers me is the dang drive is hot as hell and that can't be good!
Anyone familiar? I only have the one OTG drive so can't see if it is the drive or the phone.
Thanks again.
What rom and kernel are you running?

Thanks for reply.
As I said in first post "running stock MMB29V"
All stock Marshmallow, except rooted and TWRP installed.
Kernel is what came with that I guess: 3.10.40

I do use OTG drives to back up my stuff. I use a 1 TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra to back up with. I prefer to use an OTG cable with a power slot so it can use pretty much any storage medium. I can't use it now because I keep getting Error 255 when it executes createTarfork. Wish somebody would help me with that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/twrp-error-255-t3357541
I cannot seem to find a consistent experience with users whether it's here (XDA) or other forums and whether or not exFat support exists with Marshmallow. Has anyone else come across similar issues?
I have 128gb sdcard formated in exfat and stock MM_tmobile SM-N910T...I can read the sdcard with no problem but I cannot write without using a program like office suite. You can still backup your rom on external sdcard using twrp.
Strange. I can definitely see it in TWRP but beside that, it says it's corrupted. Guess I'm off to experiment some more.
Edit: Card works on my GF's phone. It has the same exact modifications. Something must be wrong with the flashing of MM. Thanks for the indirect help gmenik6. I didn't even occur to me to try her phone until you said that, even though hindsight it was very obvious.
I got a 200gb SanDisk I use formatted to exfat no problems here reading it or writing to phone and it mounts fine when I use it on the pc.
Which card are you using and are you on a vanilla tw mm or a custom rom like cm13/aosp?

Jus re-flashed through Odin to clear out everything and to reset all paritions just to be safe. Booted up and SD is read. Flash TWRP and SU and still reads fine. I then let all my apps install, install BusyBox, Xposed Framework, XTouchWiz and Titanium Backup, I even restored a few apps through Titanium (from my SD Card). Phone sits over night and now this morning I cannot access my SD Card.
XTouchWiz doesn't seem to be working anymore and the damn TMobile App keeps trying to get root access. I can't freeze it either because TB unexpectedly quit's which I'm guessing is because it's a systemless root.
Thoughts while I troubleshoot/experiment?
Sounds like a faulty SD card, if you did all that and it's still not reading your card correctly.

I'll have to respectfully disagree on the basis that a separate FAT32 card does not read and my current exFat card is read in both my tablet and another Note 4 phone. Now could it be a faulty reader in the phone? That's what I plan to find out by flashing MM through Odin again and keeping it stock for a few days.
