TWRP can handle OTG if its a flash drive with a single partition
So if I format hard drive on single partition in fat32 then TWRP can handle it?

wats the problem with cwm? Wat error it shows?
Insert it in PC card reader. Find some partition manager, other than mini partition tool, for PC and try to repartition it.
If you use Windows 7 go to Control Panel->System and Security->Administrative tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management
and check if your card (and it's partitions) is shown. If it is try to remove existing partitions and create new FAT 32 partition spaning over entire disc.
i've used easeus partition master, and
easeus partition recovery + partition table doctor +hdd regenerator + sd formatter + minitool partition + [email protected] partition recovery+ flobo
i think it's hopeless
@tomashokenberi all of the programs including disk management , are showing one unallocated partition (1 Gb) and everytime i try to format the partition, the program fails, all of them
@vikraam the cwm just says formatting then done ( nothing else )
somebody said to me to try an mbr tool or program, and i havent found one that works on my pc (x64) do you have suggestions
How many partitions are actually shown in disk management? One or more? If there is more than one partition try to delete all partitions then create one new partition.
Also if your Windows PC uses some "ext2/3 enabler", that is software and driver that allows access to ext2/3/4 partitions from windows it may interfere with disk management and create problems.
it is showing only one partition, i've tryed gparted live cd, on several different pcs and different sd adapters all saying ( access denied, or write protected ), and yes the switch is correct,,
so what should i do now, make a hole in it and use it like a Key Chain

Gave me the same bad disk error, I tried every partition manager but nothing worked!
I found my solution by changing my sdcard adapter (or usb card reader) and it works perfectly fine now

thanks, though this is an old post but you helped me with my sd card also.
faced the same problem....
simple solution:format with blackberry
Command Prompt
I don't know if the problem was solved. I have suggestions. They are worth trying but not guaranteed to work.
The 'Disk Management' thing doesn't work. I use Windows 10. It gets stuck (becomes entirely Unresponsive) until I pull out the card from the reader. And the same also happens when I double-click or right-click on the SD card in Windows Explorer.
Maybe this can work-
Check the Lock switch on Card. It should not be locked.
On the computer, disable any antivirus feature of auto-scanning USB disks when connected. Also disable Windows USB AutoPlay.
Connect Card to computer with a good card reader.
With Windows Explorer, find the drive letter of the connected SD Card.
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and write
format <drive letter followed by colon : and no slash>
Example - Attached to this post.
If error appears "Insert New Disk and press ENTER", just press 'ENTER' directly.
If error appears "Cannot open volume for direct access", write the format statement in 5th step again.
These errors appear 3-4 times, but keep following the above steps till these statements appear -
"The type of the file system is FAT32. Verifying <your card size>"
Good luck !!
Otherwise, try this http://www.cardrecoverypro.com/
Sorry for the title but I didnt know how could I describe it more precisely.
Problem is. I rooted gf`s htc explorer and I didnt have sd adapter so I tried to format micro sd via minitool partition wizard while it was inside phone connected via usb to pc.
After that I lost possibility to change usb mode from charging to file transfer since my card doesnt show up on pc/mobile/cwm anymore. EXCEPT "mount usb storage" in cwm. With that I see the card in pc, I can reformat it or transfer files. But I cant use it its not visible at all..only in that cwm mount usb storage.
I was browsing web/xda for like 2 hours and im quite desperate.
Any help how to make it visible again?
Its only unlocked-rooted-stock..was preparing it for link2sd.
thank a lot for a help
Hello
I wanted to install Katkiss on my tf101. I wiped all the things I had to and headed to the installation part but my tablet couldn't recognize any external SDs. I use TWRP so it should have been supported.
I could get into apx mode but I don't know if I can put files on my tab from there. My PC can't recognize the tab if I try it in an other way. So someone can please help me and give some solutions for reaching the internal SD with a USB connection?
I guess I can install the files from TWRP after it .
Any help would be appreciated. ?
If TWRP is working, put files on a microSD and install the OS. Otherwise, you will need to use APX and something like EasyFlasher to install TWRP or the stock firmware.

I have spread installed TWRP as I remember I also used EasyFlasher to do it. As I mentioned my tf101 couldn't read any SD card that's why I've asked for a hint to put the katkiss files on my internal card.
How is the microSD formatted?
Did you boot to TWRP after installing the microSD?
What version of TWRP are you running? Not all of them support ADB via USB.
My TWRP version is 2.2.1.4 and the SD card is "general hierarchical". As I know I need a FAT32 card to make it work but I couldn't find a way to format mine. If you know a way to do this than it's also good for me. I also tried a FAT32 pen drive through the keyboard but it - of course - didn't work.

I don't have a card reader and my PC didn't find the card when I tried with a phone having the SD card inside.
Do you think it might work if I format my external hdd to fat32 or the tf 101 won't recognize it?

I have moto g 2014 which is on stock with no root.
And thats the only mobile i got with otg support at home, but since its new i cant root it as i dont want to end warranty.
Now the thing is my PC hard drive is busted and i want to install Ubuntu in my spare drive, i downloaded and transfered Ubuntu from phone to otg pendrive, since my pendrive has malicious autorun.inf i cant use autorun of ubuntu, when i try to delete it it regenerate and system cannot detect bootable pendrive. Is there way to remove that autorun.inf or format PD ?

No Format option only unmount option under USBdisk
Hi All,
I'm trying to get my new 4tb drive to work with my android device. I know that out of the box it requires FAT32 to be read, and no I am not interested in rooting my device to install drivers to support other options. I already have another 4tb working :
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HXAV0X6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
this drive formatted just fine using the guiformat tool to fat32.
however the recent drive does not accept a fat32 format:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0196J3UZ2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
gives me a format error and restricts me to a 2tb volume.
I believe the problem for this is that the first drive is a raid0 format with 2 drives built in. The second drive is a single 4tb, slower but more "dependable" (and also $70 cheaper).
I'm sure my success with the first drive is that the fat32 partition is able to create > 2tb because the physical devices are split between 2 2tb drives, though this does not make a ton of sense to me.
Regardless, what are my options here for the second drive? Again, i'm not interested in rooting my device. 2 partitions are ok, but i've experimented w/that and found that the second partition is ignored in the android file system. Did some reading and found that part1 needs to be vfat, and part2 needs to be fat32, AND you need to possibly be on root and run a special script to even mount that setup. I'm not interested in all that, i just want to be able to turn my device on and have the drive mounted w/o root.
All that said, what is the simplest solution for me to set up this drive to be read on my Samsung and s2 tablet devices w/o root? Is FAT32 the only solution, and if so, can i some how FORCE this partition style on my 4tb drive? I read somewhere that a Linux boot can handle this, though i don't even know where to begin with that being a windows man.
Please help!
anyone have an idea? dont want to spend an extra 70 bucks just because i cant format a drive to fat32 ;/

Android likes ext4 more than fat32. You should try with it, but it is a bit problematic as windows does not support ext4 at all. You need to get a live Ubuntu USB or something and you should be running linux in a matter of minutes (it won't uninstall Linux unless you explicitly tell it to)
From what I understand if your drive has mbr it is limited to 2 TB. Whereas gpt can exceed 2 TB. You will want to convert to gpt. If you search google there are articles that go step by step. I experienced a similar issue with my 4 TB Seagate external usb 3.0 drive. I deleted my partitions using a Windows computer and reinitialized the drive for gpt. Afterwards I formatted it in exfat.
