USB OTG detection issue - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I have this odd problem with USB OTG detection issue on my z3c
Android does not detect my USB OTG but TWRP recovery does. ( in recovery mode everything is fine)
TWRP recovery detects my USB OTG and I can do various operation such as exploring through using TWRP file manager or creating back up on this USB OTG and etc.
My phone has latest LOS 18.1 and I did change "USB CONFIG" in developer options to " transfer files" but still no USB OTG detection.
p.s.
when I bought the device it was working fine and detects the same USB OTG.
last year I gave my phone to some repair shop to re-flash stock rom as I had some software issues. After that I could not use my USB OTG on my phone....but back then I was thinking this is some hardware problem from charging module. recently I flashed LOS 18.1 hoping mentioned issue to be solved but still no USB OTG detection on android.
Seeking for any good advice as I`m frustrated and also disappointed little bit.
tanx in advance.

Good evening, I have a z3 compact purchased from a Chinese website. GPS does not work, and in some cases when I change the rom, I have this problem with OTG detection, in some cases in ROMs 5.0 and 5.1 it does not detect OTG in twrp. On ROMs above 6.0 TWRP detects OTG, I don't know if it has a connection with the TWRP version. But to view OTG content I use MIXplorer, I can view files, move edit...etc

Unfortunately using MIXplorer did not change the situation. It seems my phone feel nothing when I insert USB OTG. Not even a blink reaction.

Damn, this is not good. Today I flashed the MIUI 7 version. I think this version is beautiful, it doesn't support all current apps, but it's battery friendly. This cell phone purchased on AliExpress does not work the GPS unfortunately.

Wierd USB OTG issue

Hi, My HTC one is not recognizing USB over OTG. My first suspect was OTG cable itself, but it is working fine with Xperia,Nexus and even Xiaomi.
My HTC is S-off, unlocked rooted, Sense 6 with toolbox installed with stock 4.4.2 and build 5.11.401.10 . Then I flashed elementalX 3.4.1 -14.12 which I was anyway wanted to do. All working fine except OTG. I tried USB stick mount and OTG helper they are not detecting any drives to mount. I can see the usb led light is not blinking when I am connecting to HTC one. It cant even detect usb even in recovery (twrp 2.6.3 which I now upgraded to 2.8 but still no success )
Please help to resolve this issue, i am not able to pinpoint the root cause. Its first time that I am trying OTG. I tried even looking into android.hardware.usb.host and handheld_ core_hardware.xml but not sure what to do.
Please help
No replies yet I seek help from htc experts. Search across forums has not resulted in any success. I have anyway upgraded from stock to elemental kernel and from twrp 2.6.3.3 to 2.8, but still stick mount is not detecting Any drives. How to conclude if it is a hardware bug or software mods can enable it.?

Well assuming your mounting it in Settings>Storage>Mount USB storage.
This needs to be done each time you connect the OTG/USB
And the same when in TWRP select Mounts then Internal Storage at the bottom of the screen and select OTG to mount it.
I don't know what else to suggest. I use OTG without any problems when in Android os and recovery. Never had to modify anything settings wise. Just mount the device manually through setting and it works. If your cable works with other phones what about the usb stick. Maybe backup the contents and format it with a fresh fat32 file system and try it again.

Deleted everything No ADB No OS No USB

Hi all,
I know there are lots of similar topics but this is a little bit strange because I can't use adb and usb also.
Device rooted and TWRP 2.6.3.3 installed. I tried in different computers and cables but computers do not recognise phone. It just boots TWRP. Is there any way to copy files in the phone without usb and adb?
I have replaced usb port a couple months ago due to charging problem, now charging ok but pc doesn't recognise and says "unknown device".

why not?
you could look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2
also here for usb-otg: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61449330&postcount=23
see if any of those work
or just flash a newer TWRP and use MTP transfer
twrp has usb mtp function
enable it
I changed usb socket. Now I'm able to connect phone but it only charges when phone off.

Broken USB port, can't upload system via ODIN

Hello everyone!
My SGSA has broken USB port, but it wasn't such a problem. I had uploaded TWRP and all the time I wanted to change the software it was just few clicks. This time I tried to install some other ROM (I was looking for perfect performance, so I tested about 25+ ROMs within a month. This instalation has formated /system partition and as I think many others, beacuse I can't even boot into recovery, phone stays at "Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070" logo. I am able to boot into "Download Mode" but beacuse of broken USB port PC detects it as a malfunctioned device. I wanna add that I tried maaaany PC's and many USB cables to connect.
Hope for help, cheers

Get that USB port replaced .. it doesn`t cost much . in india it costs only 200-rupees . Because if everything fails ODIN is your saviour and he can`t rescue you without a USB to PC connection .
I also have the same problem. After trying different ROMs, today I try to use Odin found The USB port is not recognized,
Is a Rom damaged a file or even damaged the Usb port? Can repair?
edit_2017-0205
I am very sorry for the reckless speculation.
2015-0903 I used Kies to upgrade my Chinese Simplified version of i9070 to ver4.12. Since the Simplified version of stock rom has something like Baidu and other useless apk
So I used TitaniumBackup to remove a lot of apk, more than a year have not used a USB cable link, just use the SD card to transfer files, this may be the reason, of course, may be physical damage to the USB port. Roms cause USB not to recognize just guess.
Now my phone recovery mode is still working, USB port can only charge..

If your phone does charge, then it means that the phone USB port is not broken.
Make sure that you have Samsung USB drivers installed. You can also try other PC USB.

Thank you.
PC usb port and usb data cable is working, they can adb debug mode to link another phone. I tried the SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones-1.5.51.0.exe and samsung KiesSetup-2.5.3 (andkies 2.63) on that day without success.
Now mobile phone recovery mod brush into the Rom, the phone can use.

usb otg isnt working

I tried connecting my otg cable which was working before But the phone did not respond at all.
When I kept the cable connected(while my pendrive was still connected on the other end )without making any moment I turned my phone off and on. And woala it works but if I reboot my phone without the cable and then try connecting it with any device like storage media it does not just responds at all
All the devices used to work before. I haven't changed(neither updated) anything , running completely stock with a locked bootloader.
I tried it with an another Device as well as another cable both the cables were working and so was my pendrives.
I think it's some issue with the software!
It's giving me nuts... What should I do? Help me guys
Would be really thankful.
If you are rooted see if Chainfire's StickMount helps. Older,and doesn't require root is Chainfire's USB Host Diagnostics. This will be dependant on your ROM version. I know it doesn't work on my 7.1.2.
You might try cleaning your usb port.

Can't get OTG to work or show up.

So I put this phone away for quite a while, I recently took it out to use with my USB c earpiece from Xiaomi, but it wasn't connecting. So I tried plugging in a USB C Otg thumbdriver, it too did not show up.
I was running Pixel Experience when it had treble support. But given I thought it might be at play for why it's not detected, I wiped and reinstslled miui through TWRP. However after doing that it still didn't work. So I tried to see if TWRP could detect a USB C thumbdriver, it too didn't detect. I resorted to using Mi Flash tool to Flash the stock firmware of Mi Max 2, but still doesn't work.
Anyone know what I could possibly do to get it to work? Thanks
I have a similar issue not same. Similarly my phone stopped detecting usb flash disk on otg. Below is what i did,
To understand if your usb port is malfunctioning, connect your phone to PC and try to communicate through ADB interface. If it goes well than your configuration somewhere deep there sucks (which is my case) or else you have a hardware problem.
