I put CM12.1 on my fire 5th gen and iT works great except it won't read a external SD card. I've rebooted a number of times and taken the card in and out. But no luck. In settings>storage is asks if I want to erase the external card though.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have tried multiple san disc usb drives, but ever since amazon did the newest update when i am in adb and type in the sm list-disks i get three different listings
8,32
8,16

Not sure why, and dont know what to do. Did the same thing with a brand new usb out of the box.
Any help will be great

Have you partitioned your drive?
8,32 corresponds to a 32gb drive
8,16 corresponds to a 16gb drive
And so on so forth...

I've found the best way to deal with external storage on firetv is to use an app called ADM download manager, simply goto settings and select your drive and you can download content straight to and stream from external storage.
*I brought a 32 GB USB and I formatted it by (Fat32) I attached the formatted USB to a OTG Adapter and my fire stick and the Fire Stick (software version is 77/3027) the (Serial Version G070VM1190450T03. ) The Fire Stick doesn't recognize the USB Drive in the EZ File exploder. Is there anything that I can do to fix this problem? Do I have the right Firestick for this method?* Thank You

I have tried that option 1 errors out with
Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Thread Binder:614_15 gave up waiting for partitionMixed after 180000ms
Option 2 worked but when doing pm move- command it never works
I managed to get further but keep getting error -6 when trying to move to usb device
Edit. I got it working as far as storage and moving apps over on a 32gb usb drive from 2010. It does not auto put to usb drive though

What model are you using 4k mantis? Is it to run kodi on externak drive/USB?
Try using advanced download manager and using that to access automatically

Not sure but all my firesticks have a bug it seems amazon refuses to fix that when fresh formatted and leaving it on the storage goes to very low space quickly. So far with the same apps installed I got bit more on 1 stick that been unplugged longer. Both are 4k firesticks. Not sure what version. I think gen 1 since i dont think gen 2 4k firestick ever came out.
One of my usb drives might just not work for firestick as playing downloaded videos from it lag.
I have 2 firesticks with USB adapters. Recently both firesticks refused to recognize any USB flash drive (I'm using VLC media player). The same flash drive I have been using for a long time. I tried reformatting the drive (FAT32) but no luck. I suspect that a software update has caused the problem. Is there a known way to roll back the software and prevent updates?

I am having the same issue. USB storage was working fine but after update system is not recognising the storage. I can see the usb stick and copy files using adb so it is not a hardware issue.
Hi everyone. I have 2 firesticks (lite and 3rd gen). I tried to expand storage on both with remote ADB shell. I used the same method and succeeded on one of them (lite). Remote ADB shell in the 3rd gen stick refused to recognize usb flash drive. Does anybody know why, please?
I have the same problem firestick 4k 3rd gen fully updated, tried two otg cables, many different drives and will not recognise it through xplorer, adb console or system settings. Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks for the reply but I have tried all of the above suggestions and nothing works.
I have read every thread online and carried out every instruction and now I am at a dead end, very frustrating.
The stick is on fireOs 6.2.9.4
Thank you for taking the time to reply carolljeny223 much appreciated, I've contacted customer support and waiting reply.
I think you have to cut the power to the firestick , say for about 30 seconds.
I found this out with my firestick running on sofware 7.
When I put the USB memory stick in the port the firestick recognised it. A message prompt came up with an option to format the usb stick either for (a) Apps, or (b) Storage e.g., movies, documents, etc.
Only when the firestick recognises the memory stick will it then show USB storage in the My Firestick settings.
Ensure your USB memory is formated to fat32 on your computer if your memery stick is 32gb or below. Anything about format it to exfat32.
I just bought the latest version of the Kindle Fire. On my former Kindle I could click on "Fire" in the Explorer and it would show my the internal memory and the external memory, but on the new version all I get is a blank. I am trying to transfer my saved files into one or the other so I can utilize the data in my program. Any suggestions?
Hello everyone!
I’m having an issue while using the remote ADB shell to partition my storage. It’s creating the partition for the external storage but not for the internal. I am doing an 80/20 split on a 1TB Samsung SSD connected via an OTG cable to my Fire TV Cube running on the latest software update. When checking the partition in the ADB shell using the “df -h” command, it shows the 800GB partition for the external but the additional 200GB for the internal is not there. Does anyone have any idea as to what is happening?
If any more information is required just let me know.
EDIT: I plugged the drive into my PC and it is showing the second 200GB partition. It’s just not showing on the Fire TV for some reason..
