[Q] USB OTG in Recovery

Hey all,
Thinking about getting a Nexus 5, but I have one major question:
Does CWM or TWRP have USB OTG support? Or is there some way to do system backups directly onto OTG storage?
Thanks!

Locked Tablet

I have a friend whose tablet is locked with password, and these are my problems:
- No USB debugging.
- No SU.
- No Recovery (for some reason, i cannot boot into stock recovery, tried any combinations. Maybe the bootloader is locked).
*Sigh*, How can i fix this? Any solutions?

It will be helpful to know what device does he have...

Well if it's a Samsung or Sony or any other popular device then you can simply flash a ROM again.
If it's a Chinese tablet then flash a ROM too but it would be a little harder.. I can give some good help in Chinese tablets... But tell us that your device is first

I don't know if it because I had converted to GPE and updated to 4.4.4. But now I'm having issues with downgrading I can only stay on 4.4.4

If you are root, install the app Stick Mount and the Usb OTG will work great. I have a real Moto G GPE and the OTG work very good.:good:

did you read the OP? I have tried Stick Mount, it didn't do anything, i don't even know how to work the UI of that app, i just purchased a App called Nexus Media Importer, i used the troubleshooter and it Detects the USB OTG Allthough, 3rd party apps like Es File manger do not detect the OTG..

Question: I use USB OTG Helper and it connects my USB to note 3 phone. Is there a hack you are working to make OTG viable on the note 5?
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

USB otg works natively on the note 5 what wasn't working was USB otg in twrp recovery but now that it's officially supported for our device it works

So if I'm not already rooted, I can flash this and use it as a rooting method as well, correct?

Hey I hv otg support in ma twrp recovery..

No you must use a custom kernel now

This is my first experience without an SD card. If I have the rom I'm going to flash on my OTG can I then wipe internal storage as well when making a full wipe?

Yes, all current versions support OTG.
BTW, the latest TWRP 2.0 also supports mounting internal storage while in recovery so you don't even really need the OTG if connected to a PC.
