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?

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!!

I've been getting this error whenever I try to copy anything onto a flash drive:
"EACCES (Permission denied)"
It used to work just fine before, so I don't know why it isn't working now.
The flash drive is EXFAT formatted. Phone is rooted, running ElementalX with EXFAT support ticked and Stickmount Pro. Reading any file still works.
Any ideas as to what happened?

I believe so, as long as the kernel does as well. I know I've been able to write to this drive before, just haven't done so in a while.
no idea.

Anyone any ideas? I am having the same problem, exact same scenario using rooted stock on nexus 5. :crying:
My solution to NEXUS 5 can write to OTG USB pendrive
Ok, that's that I did, and it worked ( 4 or moure hours testing various things)
I used a Corsair Voyager GO 64 gb with NTFS filesystem.
My Nexus 5 is rooted.
I installed Chainfire "StickMount". So we can mount out USB pendrive to /sdcard/ubsStorage/sda1 No need to be PRO app.
I installed Paragon "paragon NTFS&HFS". Open it, and will ask to fix SELinux policies to Permisive. So Root Explorer can see now /Data/Media/ClockWorkmod/backup
I installed Jrummy Apps inc. "Root Explorer". I will copy, for example /Data/Media/ClockWorkmod/backup to /sdcard/ubsStorage/sda1 whithout any problems.
Don't forget to unmount USB drive before disconnecting it, go to StickMount and choose unmount
ES FILE EXPLORER WILL SAY "No space" "Error" or similar
Worked for me!
I'm happy with my investigation. I used Root Explorer in the past, and now it's useful again.
Sorry about my english, not perfect.
ENJOY!

You need to mount manually in the app and go to the designated folder indicated by the app to access your pendrive.

"Stickmount, download from market, grant supersu access let it download necessary drivers wait till complete, restart if needed, put your usb, open stickmount >mount it'll toast notifications and tell you where the usb positions, use cm manager"
The exact answer replied by others when I asked.
Okay - I had USB OTG working *before* the 4.4.4 update by enabling it via the QualcommSettings app and installing StickMount. I'm rooted and have an unlocked bootloader.
After upgrading to 4.4.4, I can't get my Meenova usb stick to mount. I've tried with & without StickMount. I re-enabled "USB Mass Storage" in QualcommSettings, but it doesn't seem to stay enabled.
StickMount says it mounts the device to /sdcard/usbStorage/sda, but when I navigate there with ES File Explorer, the folder is empty.
Has anyone gotten USB OTG to work with 4.4.4? If so, how? Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!!

With Explorer/Root Explorer it is storage/usbdisk. But unrooted as I am, I cannot write a file to the root of the card, a folder is OK.
The not writing to the root of the OTG/card is some bug in Explorer. Solid explorer works fine.
I'm rooted and have an unlocked bootloader. 4.4.4 Now otg works fine for me wothout stickmount. usb drive mount /mnt/media_rw

Seems media_RW requires root & that is why I do not see it.

Uninstalled StickMount and tried it again yesterday, and it's working fine now. The other day, I had looked at storage/usbdisk also, but the folder was empty. I'm not sure what I changed to get it working, so unfortunately can't help anyone if they're seeing the same behavior I was.

The not writing to root of SD is a bug of Root Explorer. Solid Explorer & CM file manager are fine.
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.

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 using the Elemental X 1.01 kernel that lists exFAT and NTFS as both supported. I tried using the built in storage mount and it just wants to format the drive. I then tried Stick mount and that just seems to lock up it's mount service. How can I read/write my exFAT formatted USB drive?
Saw your post elsewhere. The only time I've done this in the past was by using TWRP file manager. At first the drive couldn't be read, so running fix permissions did the trick. Other than that, I'm thinking you'd need a custom ROM. I honestly don't know what's out there at the moment that would work for you.
I have tested MiXplorer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691) this evening with exFAT and was able to read and write data. To enable goto Settings/More Settings/Enable OTG.
This Works Great!

I like to use my phone to edit GoPro Videos. I had a Galaxy s5 that I would use an OTG cable to read the file off the micro sd card. I got the pixel xl and I was disappointed that I could not read the exFAT files. After reading this post and instaling MiXplorer it works perfectly. A big thanks to you for posting this, and another BIG Thanks to HootanParsa for creating MiXplorer.
EDIT>>>IGNORE THIS I GOT IT.
I just installed Mixplorer on my Pixel XL and have a USB-C flash drive formatted in exFat, turned on the OTG Driver but I can't get my flash drive to show up in Mixplorer. Am I missing something?
