OTG USB flash drive - Nextbit Robin

I plugged in my OTG USB C flash drive and the Robin doesn't see it. Has anyone had success using one?

I'm having the same issue.

Sorry, we don't support USB OTG.

your not giving a memory card slot .. atleast a OTG could have been a good option..

The whole idea is to use the cloud, you do get 100GB.

...as long as you're using stock system software, you can access 0B if you're using third-party os.
I would like to ask if this limitation is technical-oriented or policy-oriented.

But then you are not following the manufacturer's suggested use and cannot complain about how they set it up.
Also, from my understanding, it is a hardware limitation.

So how do we use a backup app like titanium backup to restore apps?

Reserve space for Titanium Backup on your internal storage lol
I have 2 TWRP backups, TiBU's backup and music on my internal storage without issue and I still have 12GB free.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm using a custom rom so nextbit cloud doesn't work

This. I just use the internal storage on device and then keep a "backup" of those files on a USB drive and computer for use later, if needed.
I am running a Custom ROM, never used the loud and have had no issues with anything.

Hi,
I wrongfully wipe my system partition. And I cannot reboot because in twrp it shows "No OS installed, are you sure to continue."
How can I install ROM to nextbit robin with my computer?
Please help me.

Try to flash the nextbit factory firmware here
HTML:
https://insider.razer.com/index.php?threads/robin-factory-images-and-usb-driver.21487/
HTML:
1. i assume you have to unlock bootloader, enable usb debugging and usb driver installed
2. adb minimal install on your pc
3. download the latest factory firmware
4. extract the zip file
5. boot your Robin into Fastboot mode
6. simple hit that flash-all.bat file and plug your nextbit to usb 2 port on your pc.
7. just wait the process
when finished all process your nexbit back to factory default firmware
:good:

seems when i press on Mount sd card nothing happens..
thanks
biggg troubles
you need to use adb.
mounting the sdcard does nothing on the nexus as there is no mass storage

You really need to READ. Use a translator if you can't.
from the thread Zepius linked you:
What is the Android SDK and do I need it?
SDK stands for "software development kit. Do you need it? If you are developing, then yes (but then you probably would be reading this thread now would you... ). If you are not developing, then no, you do NOT need to install it. It is just a waste of space. The only files you need (to interface with your PC) that comes from the SDK are the fastboot and adb files, and they can be found here for Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

Recovery mode and file transfering

Hello.. I accidentally erased all data in both internal and external card. I can boot recovery mode. Is there a way to trasfer files from pc to the phone on recovery mode in order to trasnfer a rom to flash? When o connect it apperas adb interface, something like that but i cannot see the phone.
Wouldn't it be easier to just take memory card out and use a card reader to put a rom straight onto the memory card. Think that should work

If your using cwm. Make a folder on your sd card like this
Clockworkmod/backup/ then copy and paste your file in there.. reboot to recovery and choose restore from external. You may need to do a full wipe if its an older backup.

Read through that. It's basically an interface for you to plug your phone via USB to your computer and pass commands to it (and read info). By running ADB logcat, you can then see what's going on in your phone, in real time.
Doing so, you should be able to find out (or at least paste here) what errors are occurring.
It's a sensible first step, before resorting to wiping or imaging.

[Q] EX SD card not writable for Titanium backup on 5.0

Hey guys
Im running low on space in my phone so i decided to move my titanium backup folder to the external sd card. However, its says the folder is not writable. Any way I can solve this ? Im running 5.0 and have xposed installed
Solved: I flashed the ex sd card fix zip and it worked like a charm
Think you have to use the stock File Manager as Android doesn't allow direct writing to an external memory source

Yes I am aware but I was wondering are there any root solutions currently available to fix this ?
Just root then apply the sd card fix. Job done.
Sent from my SM-T805 using XDA Free mobile app
It says that the system partition on stockhtc kernel is protected and hence the method will not work
You likely need S-OFF in that case?
Wait... Did you actually root the phone yet?

Sorry for the noob question, but could you explain that? With the stock File manager I can copy/move files to the external memory card. So is that file manager not part of Android or do you mean that apps are not allowed to write to the sd card? But the the stock camera can - all my photos are on sd card ...

try a custom kernel; stock kernel usually has /system write protection enabled so it won't allow changes to stick to the system partition
EDIT: or change the file while booted into custom recovery (ie pull the file, edit it, push it back, make sure permissions are correct)

IF (yes big if) i remember correctly, only system apps have [full] access to the sdcard, all user apps only have access to their respective directories.

Accelerometer is a sensor that defines a devices's position, so it gives you ability to use such functions as screen auto-rotation. And the bug is that sometimes this sensor stops working until the next reboot.
1-After format the SD with cm13, then how to back to normal SD?
2-Is right that if we use sd like part of system we can't use real system memory?
3-After formatting SD (with cm13) for using it like part of system, if we try to put it in PC and then back in the phone, it's real that the SD automatically delete all file inside it because was encrypted?
4-Can we store file like music, photo, video... on SD or it's only for app?
5-If for example i break my phone and put SD in an other phone what happen?
I know that are a lot of question but i hope someone can answer

1. Settings > Storage & USB > sdcard > menu > Format as portable
2. No, sdcard space magically adds to real internal
3. Of course no.
4. From phone: yes, photos goes there
From PC: unknown, because MTP broken now. But probably yes.
5. Data will be unaccessable because partition encrypted.
And formatted in unusual way - Windows anyway can't deal with it.
Card supposed to work only with ROM where was adopted (key stored)
UPD: it somehow works in other phone
You can format back it into FAT32 via Explorer or some partition manager.
Also seems this feature still semi-broken: large games won't install.
Maybe PecanCM can fix it.

Are you serious? I even successfully tried creating folder via it. Did you switched from Charge only mode to MTP? 'Cause in charge-only mode MTP device is recognized, but it is empty, without available storages. Or maybe for you it doesn't work because of Windows crappiness, lol. Linux is more friendly with Linux.

There are often problems with Android on Windows that are absent on Linux. I had irritating issues with UMS mode in TWRP when I was using Windows (more strange is that it worked earlier and then suddenly my PC went insane when connecting USB in TWRP with storage mode enabled), but on Linux it works like a charm. And it is not the only example of problems in Android-Windows "relationship".
Guys I flashed the rom and it booted as usual and i went to next page of the setup guide i.e. add wifi in that i tried connecting to my wifi but while entering the password it shows unfortunately, aosp keyboard has stopped after i removed my wifi password and connected then it goes again to the first page of selecting country and i repeatedly pressed the yellow icon to proceed to the next page but its stucked on that page plz help me guys and do i need to do anything else?

Oh, there are a bunch! Wondering how it'll fare with the Android File Transfer on Mac. �� At least, ADB works, right? I need to update a few of my apps to support Marshmallow since they removed the Apache HTTP client (Google, must you really make things difficult? I spent an hour yesterday writing 75 lines of code just to add dividers between RecyclerView items... SMH). I'll most probably be shifting back to Lollipop AOSP by tonight. Anyway, if MTP works, I'll update you guys...
EDIT: So, no. Unfortunately, doesn't work on OS X as well. I didn't really expect it to, but then I was hoping that since it was UNIX, it would.
EDIT 2: So, it works with OS X as well! I hadn't selected the USB to transfer files previously.

Getting Internal Memory Data from Phone Stuck in Bootloop

My phone is stuck in bootloop after installing system update. The phone is not rooted.
Are there any ways to get/transfer/backup & restore data (sms, photos, apps data) from internal memory before I attempt to fix the phone?
Thanks.
What's your phone ?

If you are able to access fastboot, unlock your bootloader from here then flahs TWRP from here, and go to recovery, connect to PC... now you have MTP enabled on your PC... So, now you can copy all your data into your PC...
