Anybody got the CWM recovery (kk apk recovery) to detect ext. SD card?

Hi all,
I running stock kitkat and have the APK-installed kitkat CWM recovery. the apk from this thread Also in the ( lollipop thread), and I got stuck on recovery, and can't enter download mode. There is a ZIP fix that requires to be flashed from the recovery, but the recovery didn't recognize my external SD card.. So I was wondering if anyone was able to get the recovery to detect an external SD card or USB drive through OTG? and if so, what was the file system and other specs of the sd card?
Thanks in advance.

I test all Recoveries for GP2,not works with external SD Card.Cwm in English,Backup is working,but not Restore.With Fat or Exfat not works for me.The Only Recovery is the with chinese Language,but Backup and Restore only in internal Storage.

Thanks letschky. I found another way and managed to save the phone. you can't really count on this recovery.

I don't know what your problem is cause it depends, but for me the only way I was able to communicate with the device was Sideload. regular ADB didn't work (device was unrecognized). if you are suffering from the same problem I had, check out this thread, but sideload the fix.

Wiped my Nexus 5 with TWRP and won´t get to the start screen

Hello guys!
I wanted to wipe my LG Nexus 5 before i could install Cyanogenmod 13, and get Marshmallow ( i was in android 5.1 ).The thing is I went to the TWRP recovery mode, then wipe>advanced wipe>dalvik cache,data, internal storage,cache and then I swipe to wipe. When this process finished i went on reboot>system and it began rebooting. The Google logo came and the little color bubbles showed up. But then IT DIDNT SHOW THE START PAGE. You can still power it off and go to TWRP, but nothing more. Also, my windows pc only recognizes it as 'something' but can't do anything with it.
Have I bricked my device? Or... is there a solution?
Thanks
Lewis

Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
you didn't wiped the system but something must corrupted it. Now I would go to TWRP and enable MTP under the point Mount. Then download CyanogenMod and GApps.
Now wipe system too. Flash and have fun.
Regards

Enabling MTP
Could you tell me how to exactly do that? When in TWRP, i hit mount and the thing i can do is select partitions to mount. How do i enable MTP?
Thanks A LOT!

In version 2.6.3.4, there is no Mtp in mount page.
when i get to mount, i get the same options as you, (system,data,cache,persist,firmware,USB-OTG), and to select storage. I am in this older version (v2.6.3.4), is MTP anywhere else?
Thanks again and sorry for taking you time to help me

I don't know but it must be there.
Can you update to 3.0.0.0?

I don't think so. If I can't get to the start page, i can't install the newest version. Can I still flash it? And how?

I recommend updating to the latest version of TWRP and then try.

unable to flash anything in TWRP, SD card wont mount or show contents

Hi!
I picked up a Mate 8 from a local service provider and would love to flash a new ROM to get rid of the ugly stock one, but I am stuck when trying to flash anything from TWRP.
The phone boots fine, I unlocked the bootloader, and has TWRP Mate 8 version...I can't locate any files from the internal storage though. I understand this is due to the system being encrypted. I cant seem to get around that though. I tried the format data option, hit yes, then go back but that obviously has deleted what I had stored (the SU zip). I can't mount the SD either afterwards, to load it in recovery.
I tried using the Italian knife tool, and used the Root option, and option 3, but get an error: error: cannot load '.\rec\boot.img
I am not a pro on this so it might be something farely stupid. I would love if anyone could help me with this...

Edit:
I was able to solve myself. It was a rookie mistake. Perhaps the internal storage is encrypted, however I was able to flash SU using TWRP by inserting an external SD, which I had not done before. I was able to view contents from that location and did not need to use the Italian knife tool.

Are you using SuperSU ??
To delete system apps, download system app uninstaller from play store and grand it superuser permission.

I have no idea why it doens't work by you. Could you maybe give me a last_ksmg after you booted into the recovery?

it's really weird, I've succesfully flashed 920F (International) without any problem multiple times. I can flash stock rom so it's not hardware's fault. Am i missing some simple newbie step?

{FIXED}
i was missing newbie step like i suspected xDD i forgot to enable oem unlock

what is the solution ?

my device is sm920A . it is at&t . i cannot find oem unlocker

Possible Solution to Odin "failed" messaged whilst flashing
Warm greetings to all.
I have previously encountered this problem before, ive tried clearing the cache and formatting with still no luck
Eventually I wanted to try something, I loaded my software I wanted to flash on a USB.
I then used an OTG adapter to connect the usb to my phone. I then booted into the recovery ( I have TWRP) and chose install from external storage. To my surprise it worked.
NOTE: I am not sure if this method will work on stock recoveries. Also if you have an external hard drive it works as well
Also note. My S6 is an international version i believe G925F
Wishing you all the best of luck if I was not able to help
