Hey all, long timer here, just been awhile. I happened across my old Nexus 7 in my closet the other day and decided to update the ROM. Unfortunately I wiped it before I realized my OTG won't mount. I've tried 3 different dongles I have and 2 different USB sticks I have, one 2.0 and one 3.0. I'm running TWRP 2.8.7.0 which may not help my cause, but if I can't mount OTG, it doesn't matter anyway. Is there a certain size or style OTG this version of TWRP is able to see? Any help is appreciated. I can use ADB but it's been awhile. Thanks in advance.

Hi, ensure FAT format for OTG. But you can easily install either stock or custom ROM with scripted solutions, and no need for OTG nor direct ADB commands.

It's definitely going to be the FAT32 formatting. I appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I was just about to install the latest CM9 kang on my new Galaxy Nexus, and I can't seem to activate USB storage in ClockWorkMod recovery. It's the standard non-touch version, if that matters... the one that installed automatically with the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v5.3.
When I try to activate USB storage, I get "E: Unable to open UMS lunfile".
Now I'm pushing the files via ADB instead, which is a bit of a hassle.
Is this normal? Or do I need to do something special to enable USB storage in CWM? Do I need a different version?
I don't think you can enable storage in clockwork mod.. Boot your phone up, and then connect it to your computer to push the files.
OK, thanks. Any idea why UMS (or MTP, don't really care what protocol is used ) is unsupported in CWM? No time to implement it yet? Or is there a technical reason that it won't work?
I'm also having this issue with my GT-I9100. I select the USB storage option, plug the cable into my PC and nothing happens apart from Windows recognising a device has been connected. But no storage device appears in My Computer.
Was using CWM v5.x (can't remember which version anymore).
Still haven't found a solution, so I restored to another image I had backed up thankfully.
It just simply not implemented in CWM at the moment ... would love to see Koush add it in the future it'd be very useful
The GNex does not support USB Mass Storage mode at all.

Maybe you have installed a clockworkmod recovery touch not compatible with your phone. Maybe it is optimus_prime-touch-v5.5.0.4-6-GSM.img ?
Because it is for the Asus transformer prime. I didn't see any official cwm recovery for the Galaxy Nexus with USB Storage capabilities (I mean OTG, not UMC, that are commonly mistaken)

I can confirm this one.
I flashed everything, with a full wipe, and then tried to move the JB zip image from computer to phone (in cwm recovery boot, with mass storage) and I couldn't manage to acomplish that.
I googled, and it seems that mass storage in cwm doesn't work with GNexus..Anyway, I got an error in console when I tried to activate mass storage.

It's true that Galaxy Nexus doesn't support UMC because the sdcard is a subfolder of the data partition instead of independent, like in the Galaxy S2. But I was talking about OTG, it is mounting an usb pendrive to save cwm backups there.
Phone:
GN Toro (Verizon)
no OS currently installed!
TWRP 2.3.3 (I know, needs to be updated)
Skip to the bold text for the TLDR version.
So here's the story... I was going to flash the latest AOKP and decided that this time I would do things right! In the past I had almost always dirty flashed, but this time I was going to start clean and only restore data for a handful of apps. So I booted into TWRP and wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, and ..........internal storage! I went to flash the ROM I had downloaded and that's when I learned that I had made a huge mistake :crying:
So I've been doing a TON of reading; I think I've found a solution to my problem in this thread.
I know I can either use ADB push to reload the ROM or use ODIN mode to reflash (although I was unable to get ODIN to see my phone). My concern is that if I'm going to have any chance recovering my files, I need to avoid writing to /sdcard at all costs.
So here's my question, is there a way to get a binary dump of /sdcard aka /media/data without first installing android? I need to be able to do so from TWRP or fastboot. I have the GN toolkit but I don't see any way of doing this. I also have all the drivers installed and working (or so it seems) and ADB installed.
Sorry I misread. I'm not sure how you can recover from that.
I think you should be able to adb push a ROM to it. Flash it and it won't touch the contents of the SD card.

Actually, this is exactly what I did. The new ROM wrote a directory structure and various files to /sdcard, hopefully none of those writes overwrote the data I'm trying to recover...
16GB thumb drive and USB OTG cable. Boot into recovery and use dd to dump the user data partition to the thumb drive.
Probably too late for that, since you've already written files to the partition.

Ya know, I have a huge thumb drive and a USB-OTG adapter, I never even thought of this! Thanks, if I ever need to do this again I will try that.
I was able to recover most if not all of my pics (the only thing I cared about losing) using this guide I linked above.
Glad that method worked. It's kind of scary with GN having a single data partition and no ext sd. Coming from a device with separate /data and /sdcard partitions plus and ext sd, I miss being able to back things up onto the card.
Hello there, since i unlocked and rooted my LG E975, i can't mount usb in recovery, i tried in TWRP (all versions avaible), and with cwm philz touch. With the twrp the swipe button does not appear, in the cwm philz, if i go to mount usb etc, and press the button nothing happens. Am i doing something wrong? In my other android phones i haven't this problem.
Hope that someone can help me.
Thanks!

Just regularly boot your phone and you should be able to either transfer directly or download the file on your phone, if you have data to spare. Using apps like Root Explorer will also let you manipulate 'emulated' and 'pre-emulated' storage if that's a problem you're having.
Install drivers
Learn ADB commands
Or
Learn sideloading
adb push if want to use adb
adb sideload using recovery if you having issues with push.

you'll never be able to mount usb storage on internal memory. this would mean the whole storage to be unmounted from system and mounted to windows. not gonna happen,since the os is on the same storage. hell,not even my S4 doesn't mount internal storage.it's logical,don't you think?it's only mounting external sdcard. not the case for optimus G,since it has not expansion. like a fellow xda member said above, leard to get along with adb.
thanks guys for the answers, it is my first phone without sd slot
I just got a FireTV, it's rooted, on the latest pre-rooted 51.1.4.1_514013920
I've tried to mount a few USB flash drives (16-64GB, NTFS or FAT32 formatted) via a USB hub and directly plugged into the USB port on the AFTV. I can't get it to work. I'm using the latest version of StickMount installed from the Google Play Store and also tried adbFire the USB mount option.
StickMount doesn't do anything and if I try to click Mount or Unmount again it says the service is busy.
adbFire shows a /usb/drive1 via SMB but it's empty, it's not the actual flash drive.
How do I troubleshoot this? I must be missing something simple.
hi you could try Busymount: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/busymount-v1-0-t2920146
which mounts the drives on boot, much better than stickmount and can be customized to your needs.
Uninstall Stickmount first though as i think they conflict.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I should also try to see first if I can see the USB flash drive from CWM, it will at least tell me everything is fine from a hardware perspective.
I installed BusyBox via adbFire, is there some other version of BusyBox required? BusyMount says it comes with BusyBox but I'm not sure whether that means it replaces any existing BusyBox or it installs its own version for its own use.
Also, what is the recommended format for external flash drives for best performance, to be writable and to be able to use from CWM to flash new ROMs, etc.? ext4, FAT32? Does it matter?

im not sure what formats work best but it depends on the type of files. Ive always used NTFS for big drives and FAT32 for flash usb.
and i installed it via adbfire also, think that is all u need.
I have flashed the Xceed kernel and am using NYChitmans and have tried with the other older version recovery but cannot get the recovery to recognize any otg devices to make a backup. Inside the OS it recognizes several devices and has no trouble. I have tried exfat fat 32 and ntfs with no success. Any suggestions?

Recovery doesn't have MTP support right now. I'm still working on figuring it out, but with limited leisure time -- it's going to take longer than expected.
Ok I did see the toggle for it in the settings but now I see its just not active. Must of missed that when reading your posts.
