Hello
I try to connect a SSD (OCZ vertex 2 120G) via a self powered hub (Icy Box IB-120CL-U3), formatted in FAT32 to amazon fire tv 4K (fireOS 5.2.1.0), and he sees that something connect, but seems not accept the format for mounting "there was a problem mounting the inserted usb drive, please note that only FAT32 storage devices are supported"
It was a disk formatted in NTFS, that I convert to FAT32 using AOMEI free partition assistant.
I do just same with a USB key USB3 32G and it works fine
any idea whats the problem ?
thanks
mickey
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
8,0
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.
Situation - Conducted a full reset of TV. Added USB drive as extended storage. Migrated data to USB storage. Installed KODI 19.4, KODI is on USB Storage.
Problem - All KODI data continues to be stored under MISC on the internal storage of the TV (2.4 GB worth) When attempting to migrate data to USB in storage settings I now receive an error that could not migrate data to the external storage. How can I fix this?
Information
Model: KD-75X80K
Android TV 10
USB: Samsung 3.1 64GB
After formating the usb drive as device storage, select to migrate later, after that, with the drive formatted as device storage, Just go back to systems => storage => usb drive => move data.

okay so, your flash drive is USB version 3.1, but what about the TV?
The TV is also USB 3.1 but that has nothing to do with my problem.

I have attempted to use this method. I have four other Android devices that I did the exact same process to that have migrated data and where KODI stores its files on the new storage location. Only on this device am I having this issue.
I am curious if Sony blocked the ability to migrate data on their Bravia Android TVs. On my three other devices transferring data to the external shared drive has worked flawlessly.
UPDATE: I compared my three other Android devices against my Sony TV.
HISENSE Android TV and NVIDIA Shield Pro x 2
The above devices had no problem creating external storage on USB. ALL store KODI data on the USB and migrated data to USB.
SONY Bravia - The folders on both the USB and TV Android OS are secured. On my other three devices they are not. Even in developer mode with force apps to USB the USB folder remains locked.
I believe the reason KODI does not write to the USB is because the folder is locked to the program and so it continues to use the TV internal storage.
KODI has a solution to solve this issue in Android
https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Change_data_location_for_Android
HOWEVER, both my USB and System folders are LOCKED and there are only two ways to accomplish this fix.
Sony pushes an Android update to allow access to the folders
I ROOT my TV - No customer should have to do this
If there is another solution from tech any tech gurus I am all ears. However, as a long-time Sony owner, I am very disappointed that I paid top dollar for my TV because it has an Android environment only to find out through use that its capabilities have been limited impacting my ability to fully use my system.
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..
