Does anyone have one? I couldn't adb files or connect it like a usb device after ICS update.
1. you can directly download files through the phone and flash
2. downgrade phone to gingerbread using an odin image
So what do you mean directly download through the phone? you talking about adb? I tried that and it didnt work
Install airdroid....
sorry, I did not understand your problem
I was thinking you want to reflash your NS.
anyway. to get files, I suggest to use Dropbox app for exemple, upload files from phone and download them to pc later

Easy for you

did you try accessing the usb while your in recovery? you can enable usb storage that way. also, you can try the dual mount sd app.
have you tried removing them with a file explorer like astro or file expert?
Are you able to mount USB storage though CWM?
why not just use dropbox??
As the title stats I cant seem to get it to work or find the appropriate folder in which its located any help would be appreciated
Hit Thanks if I Helped
-_-NAMELESS ROM 1+1-_-
Same problem for me. Installed the full image and it doesn't work. It didn't work when I had just installed it and it still doesn't work after rooting.
How are you using it? Custom kernel? App? Which ones?
Stock 5.0 image with root via chainfire autoroot. Solid Explorer file manager and I can't see the USB OTG

Are you supposed to? I thought an app.was needed to mount it. Is ES supposed to do that? Did it on KK

ES used to (on 4.4.4)
I did notice that my Thermal Seek camera (also USB OTG) works fine with Lollipop, so I guess ES has to be updated.
Yes, I forgot about ES. It does open it. I had been using solid because I like it better but I also forgot that stock Android is NOT AOSP and that was my problem. It does see it now with ES so, problem solved. Also it reads both fat32 and NTFS. too bad it doesn't read exFAT

That is so strange - I use ES and I am not able to get it to recognize my USB flash drive! Sheeeeeeesh! :crying:
Well we are all seeing strange things with 5.0 For example, root is not working as it should, apps like App Quarantine can't seem to properly disable some system apps or Google Apps, I can't seem to be able to correctly install a recovery and most apps that should allow to do reboot options (like flashify or twrp manager) don't work. My guess is that we'll have to wait a few days until development has matured a bit..
Then, I can use/see/write my USB by otg only with Es explorer without stickmount or I have to use stick mount mandatorily ?
sorry if you give the answer already but did not understand English very well
Always i used stick mount, but it would only need/use ES Explorer
I can only add that on nexus7 (2013) official 5.0 OTG doesn't work either.
I can access external drive through ES or stickmount, but the system itself is 'blind'.
Using custom kernels (e.g elementalX) built for lollipop which in theory should support OTG break stickmount (and still no OTG support, possibly something in OS beyond the kernel) - internal memory is not mounted anymore to /storage/sdcard0. ES still works though.

Yes, you can just use ES Explorer to use USB OTG devices. No need for stickmount.
Update your drivers.
Please read here what I did.

Yes in 5.0.
I have the google stock image, rooted with CFAR and all I use is ES Explorer to see my USB OTG. You have to be in either NTFS or Fat32 for it to read the drives.
It does show as a USB 1002 like you say and if you click on it it will open a new window with the contents of the drive. That's all I do.
No tweaks or apps to mount the drives.

Hi all,
I can see on ES Explorer the US1002 tab like you, and if I click on it, I can see the file inside the USB storage, but i can't put other files on the drive, even if I try to create a new file, the app show up a pop up with the message "unsupported operation", instead the copy from the USB drive to the phone is possibile.
This happens since I flashed the Stock Lollipop build.....
Have you tried to copy or create a file on the drive?
Many Thanks! Bye!

Yes, I get the same message. You can read files, copy them TO your phone but not copy from your phone to the USB OTG. I guess we will have to wait for some developer to patch things or for AOSP roms to catch up...

Probably kernel related. Might need to export to usb otg properly. Probably mounted with no permissions. You can check when OTG is plugged in by typing the "mount" command into a terminal emulator

Ehi guys!
I think I found the problem, my usb drive was formatted in NTFS, android can't white on it, but only read!
I formatted in FAT32 and the problem is solved!! I was so stupid
Bye!!
Hi,
When I connect 2 different USB sticks or 1 TB HDD with Sony otg adaptor to my Z5 and tap "detect usb device" the message "USB storage is restricted. A security policy restricts the use of USB storage" appears. File commander doesn't shows USB storage, but ES file explorer shows and lets work with sticks (in HDD I can't write or create files/ folders but could see contents). In settings--storage tapping "Mount USB storage" causes the same message about restriction but command "erase usb storage" works. Backup app doesn't shows "back up to USB" option too.
What could cause this?

Every thing is the same after I removed udates & switched off filecommander. I think I just will wait for android 6

No, sticks are fat. HDD is ntfs so ES file explorer just shows files and I can't write.

If i understood well you can read/write from the 2 USB sticks using ES file explorer...then, what are the the problems you could not solve?
Maybe the message is related to some special feature (encryption, app installation,...) that is not usable with those devices.
Or, does the sony OTG adaptor/the sticks have a button to prevent Write and only allow Read?
However, If you are rooted, there are a bunch of apps on the store (paragon, ....) that allows you to mount USB sticks and might work better than the bundled software. It still depends a lot on stock kernel functions, though

Problems are as i said: backup not sees usb storage. USB sticks have no butons Of course it's caused by some app or instalation settings i think. I checked security settings but nothing works. I'm not rooted so I just waiting marshmallow and if it won't resolve - 'll do phone reset or root.. or maybe cyanogen :laugh:

just disable xperia configurator in device administrator
Hi,
After update to android 6 problem resolved. By the way I switched xperia configurator off when dealt with my problem with android 5 but things were the same..
Hi,
Sorry to jump an old thread, but I've had this problem on the Swisscom ROM for a while. It originally worked fine, but got disabled with one of the first OTA updates.
I have tried the suggestions here, but no luck so far.
Can I ask which ROM you are using and if it works fine for you now? If so, I'll flash the same localised ROM which I guess will resolve the problem.
Thanks
David
I use FAT32 storage on my USB OTG storage. On lollipop i was able to delete or copy files to the storage but since I've updated to Marshmallow recently, i only have read access.
Any idea how to get around this?
I've tried the stock file manager as well as File Manager app.
I had same problem with mine when I used my mac to format usb, partition map was GUID instead of master boot once i changed that worked ok. Not sure if that's any help to you though.

Have you ever turned off USB debugging?

I have no idea what GUID or master boot is. But i did format it on Windows using 'guiformat'. Something I found on the web and have used previously many times.

I just tried that and it didn't make a difference.
Same here, having problems with OTG after updating my S6 to marshmallow, should have read this forum before updating... bummer...

I think I found the solution, I noticed that my S6 running marshmallow, when I plug my otg to the phone, I accidentally made the ES File Explorer the default, I can't access the OTG via Samsung's default File Manager. So I went to Applications, go to ES File Explorer, clear defaults... plug my OTG Again, this time don't choose ES File Explorer, if it pops out, cancel it. Then the Samsung's File Manager will now recognize the OTG, and boom, I can now use my OTG properly via Samsung's File Manager... Try it out...
It appears i HADN'T tried the file manager app (i thought i did). That app DOES allow deleting. It's just the stock samsung file explorer that doesn't allow write/delete access.
Problem solved.
Well. It looks like file manager intermittently has write access. Very odd.
It's stopped now. So i guess i did previously try it.
Very frustrating.
I am trying to access an OTG SD card reader in the terminal so that I can run a script on the card without breaking out my laptop, but I cant seem to find a way to access it. I am able to browse the files on a normal file explorer but any that support running scripts cannot "see" the card reader. If anybody has an idea I would greatly appreciate it!

if you're using a terminal app to run it, it should be in /mnt/ (device name will vary depending on the setup but should be something like USB1 or whatever). Then you should be able to run the script within the terminal application no?

Unfortunately I checked that folder before as well and still had no luck. I went into terminal emulator, granted root access, and then went to that folder. The device still never showed up in the terminal, even though I could browse the files in a normal file explorer.
well in that case, I guess the only option would be to copy the files from the sdcard reader to your device using a file explorer app and then running the script from a device folder that your terminal app recognizes. I find it extremely weird that it's not showing up in /mnt/ though in your terminal emulator. I am not sure why this would happen...
otg works without problem, i use root explorer or fx file explorer.
