anyone know how to get USB OTG working in TWRP? it works fine regularly but when I'm in TWRP it doesn't recognize it at all with or without it in I just get USB storage 0mb, any help?
First up, move any flashable Speeds to your SD card or OTG drive, at that point interface the outside stockpiling gadget to your telephone. On the off chance that it's a glimmer drive, ensure your telephone upholds USB OTG, just plug the drive in with your connector link.
Then, boot your telephone into TWRP, at that point select "Mount" from the primary menu. From here, ensure either "USB OTG" or "SD Card" is chosen, contingent upon which stockpiling gadget you're utilizing. At the point when you're set there, tap the home catch at the lower part of the screen.

ah it works fine now what i was using beforehand was the problem it wasn't meant for USB OTG, thank you for the response though
I've noticed that if I tried connecting a USB drive by way of my USB otg cable, it wouldn't pick it up.
However, when I used my drive that has a type C connector at the end and plugged it in, it would work.
This is the drive that has both the USB and the type C connector, one on each end. The USB side with otg adapter would not work in twrp

Here's a cross post from the Mesmerize thread where I'm not having any luck:
I have a 2.2.1 (rooted) Mesmerize and I can't get it to recognize anything plugged into the Samsung Micro USB to USB Adapter I just bought.
The phone is set to "Mass Storage" for USB and I've tried both USB Debugging on and off.
I can't get it to recognize any of 5 thumb drives that I've tried connecting to it. So either it's a bad cable, or something else in the phone is preventing the connection. Help, please!
EDIT: I'm possibly naive in assuming that this (reading a USB thumb drive from the phone) will work at all, but since they (Samsung) sell the cable and tout it as being capable of it, I must just be missing something such as a setting or the necessary version of Android or a wonderful hack from this group.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
What you are asking for is a USB host function on your phone. As far as I know there is none for the Mesmerize or android. The cable is to connect your device with a pc or other that does have usb host drivers.
there are probably other, better ways of getting extended storage. what exactly are your trying to accomplish?
I just figured it would be cool to read off a thumb drive (or usb card reader set up as a thumb drive with an sd card or micro sd card attached) from my phone. For instance, if I'm out somewhere and I take a picture with my camera and I immediately want to get that picture from the camera to the phone (without using a pc as a bridge)... I could just remove the sd card from the camera, plug it into my card reader, plug my card reader into the micro usb to usb adapter and then plug that into the phone. Whereupon the phone would recognize a thumb drive is attached and let me navigate it the way I navigate the internal micro sd card.
yeah I don't think usb hosting was available until 3.1
I don't even know how easy it is with newer devices.
What about with a custom mod/ROM?
mad towner,
i would like to know how did u root ur phone. i have a tab with same os as yours. but i find it very difficult to root.
thanks in advance.
Thought I'd start a second thread since the first stupid questions thread is already forty something pages long.
USB storage -- is that just being able to access the SD card from the computer via the USB cable when the phone is booted up, being able to read off a USB flash card from the phone, or being able to access the computer from the phone via the USB cable?
I haven't heard of the third thing but I read about some tablets being able to read USB flash drives.
I read more of the original stupid questions thread and it is really good. Maybe the monitors can close this thread. Sorry.

I would say "USB storage" is accessed when the phone is connected to the computer as a "mass storage device" giving access to read or write on the sd card no matter the state of the device.
As for accessing the computer from the phone I don't think this would qualify or that there are any apps that support this type of connection via USB. I do use apps to access my computer via wifi for file transfer and mouse/keyboard control but don't sewer the point either with a USB connection. Realistically if your phone is connected to the computer you are in a close enough proximity to just use the computer unless you have a really really really long USB cord.
Hi,
When I connect my one to hub with an OTG cable and put a usb hdd on it the harde drive is mounted and everything is perfect.
When I plug a second USB drive, it is not mounted.
I made the same experience on my Samsung Galaxy and it works fine, I see the two drives mounted on the phone.
Any idea to make it work ? Yours.

Is the hard drive sufficiently powered?
Hi,
Yes it is. The usb hub I use is powered with an external power source. The other point is that when I plug the disk alone, the phone mount it, but when I connect the flash drive, the phone try to do something, but at the end, onyl the first connected is online. If I connect the flash drive first, and then the hard drive, only the flash drive is mounted
Hi, has anybody tried usb otg used with other usb type c phones.

Yeah,
I had a USB Type-C Male to USB 3.0 Type-A female adapter. Plugged in a USB 3.0 Toshiba Hard Drive and it worked. Notification popped up and I was able to use it in the built in file manager.
Works very well and is very fast as well.
That's good, official support of otg

Otg works for me plus microsd, awesome

Honor 8 supports USB OTG.
Refer the document given for further reference on its usage.

Here are some steps you can take to transfer files from your phone to an external device or microSD.
Connect a USB OTG cable to your phone to access data on USB flash drives, card readers and other storage devices.
- Connect your phone to a USB flash drive with a USB OTG cable.
- Touch [click to enlarge] > Local > USB drive to browse data on the flash drive. You can select and copy data to a destination folder. For more information, see Copying, moving, or deleting files.
- When you have finished browsing, touch Settings > Advanced settings > Memory & storage > USB drive > Eject.
Disconnect the USB OTG cable from your phone and the USB flash drive. (NS)
Stock ROM (not rooted): Huawei built-in Files works very well for OTG USB flash drives. However, if you have X-Plore File Manager installed, do NOT accept the message as shown (see he attached), otherwise USB drive will disappear and neither the Huawei's Files nor X-Plore would be able to access the USB drive. If you ignore that message or "Cancel" it, X-Plore would be able to read USB drive but not write to it.

I wonder if there is any relation between emui5 "android" and the service activation
The title was supposed to say C-C
As in the title really; When I plug the phone into my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad L450) with a C-C cable, the following happens.
Some key points in trying to diagnose the issue:
Used three different C-C cables including the one that comes in the box
Tried a USB 3.0 A-C cable on the same laptop, works perfectly
Plugged a HTC 10 into the same port with the same cables, allows fast charging and 3.1 transfer rates
I have been into 'Developer Settings' and changed 'Select USB Configuration' to 'Charging',
Can anyone help, or is anyone experiencing a similar issue? I really don't want to have to RMA this.
for charging i cant really help but for data transfer try enabling usb debugging and getting the right drivers for the pixel 2. also connect as MTP for data transfer.
havent tried any of this myself as i dont need to transfer my files yet and theres no roms either but let me know if it works.
good luck!
I have kind of the same issue - while mine charges, it doesn't recognize the phone for MTP at all. Tried both the cable that came with the device, and the 5x cable I've been using since February. My husband's 5x is recognized, my Pixel 2 isn't. Have to use a USB-C to USB-A cable to do any data transfers.
This ticks me off, because I have 2 USB-C ports on my laptop. One that's a USB-C/Thunderbolt port (which always worked with the 5x), and the other that's just USC-C with USB 3.0 capability, which has my USB hub plugged into it. The hub won't work with the C/TB port, and now neither will the Pixel 2. So I either have to grab my C to A cable to load music and use ADB, or plug into the hub's port, losing my external keyboard, mouse, external HDD, printer, and Wacom tablet.
vido.ardes, is your C port Thunderbolt as well?

I posted my problem on the Google Product forums, and got this answer. It worked for me.

Hi all,
I just faced this issue. Connected my Pixel to my PC, no indication of connection either on PC or on Phone, except that the phone was charging. Even the file explorer on Windows 10 wasn't displaying Pixel as a connected device.
I found a solution, I hope it works for you all,
Go to Settings->Apps & notifications->App info->Tap 3 dots in top right corner->Tap 'Show system'.
Then find 'External storage' and 'Media storage' apps in the list and clear cache and data for both these apps. Restart your phone and wait 5-10 minutes before connecting the phone to your PC.
After connecting, the phone should now show 'USB connected for charging', as it did in Nougat. You can tap that notification and select file transfer."

These are the exact steps I did on the Pixel 2:
Settings>Apps & notifications>See all 125 apps>3 dot menu>Show System>Media Storage>Storage>Clear Data (this got the cache, as well)>Back>Back>External Storage>Storage>Clear Data.
Then I plugged it into the C/TB port, and the computer made the "USB Connected" noise, and "USB Debugging" came up in my phone's notifications (yes, I've enabled developer options and USB debugging there.) I'm then able to go into Settings>Connected Devices>USB and choose Transfer Files.
I just cleared the cache, not data for both and it worked.

Now that you can connect to your PC, is there any way I could get you or some other kind soul, to pull the system/framework folder and system/priv-app/SystemUIGoogle folder for me? The system.img files cannot be unpacked at this time. Every method tried gives "List index out of bounds" error.

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately no change for me. I fear I may have to RMA this, which I really don't want to have to do.
I have found on my other devices, that if I reboot to recovery mode, my computer can then read the file folders in my device.
This appears to be an issue with the laptop, not the phone, as it works on another PC with a USB-C port
