USB OTG Drive not recognized in TWRP - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300)
I've flashed it with the following:
TWRP Recovery (2.8.1.0)
CyanogenMod 11
In CyanogenMod, it recognizes my USB OTG Flash Drive when I plug it in, but in TWRP, it does not. I've tried to mount it, but it doesn't see it at all.
I've seen videos of TWRP and USB OTG working, but mine doesn't. The main reason I bought this Flash Drive was to flash ROMS off of it.
Any Ideas?

Can't you put it on external SD card?
How come fastboot not detected, have you used it on that PC before?

Is it a USB 3 port, AFAIK those don't work with fastboot/flash mode.
Yes it's a big problem most of recoveries do not have working USB storage and adb

GT-P7500 on windows 8.1

Hi Guys,
I can't seem to get the USB to connect to windows 8.1..
I don't have a ROM on the device, just TWRP v2.6.3.0 and looking to put on CM11...
Device Manager has:
GT-P7500
PCI Simple Communications Controller
SM Bus Controller
All with exclamation marks. I've tried installing samsung drivers 1.5.27.0, rebooted, but no luck. PC just is not recognising, or more accurately, letting me use the downloaded drivers for this device.
Trying to use adb, but no luck on three pc's, all using win 8.1 (64bit)..
Any help appreciated.

Did you turn on mtp in the connection options?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Not sure if I can turn on MTP... I don't have an OS on it yet (just wiped it), I'm using TWRP boot loader... was trying to get in to sidewinder loader to use adb to flash a rom..

if you don't have Rom On your Tab you can't connect your tab to PC
you should flash original (stock) rom with ODIN and then install TWRP and install a custom rom

Thanks. I downloaded P7500XWLP6_P7500 (samsung firmware) and uploaded (downloaded?) to the tablet with odin and it seemed to accept it.
Rebooted the tablet, nothing. I can still go in to twrp, so I'm assuming it's not working correctly either. Should I be flashing with odin using bootloader?

Can't connect my galaxy s6 (with no OS) to my computer

Hey so I recently tried to install a custom ROM (Nougat 7. 1. 1) in my galaxy s6, but I ended up wiping all the data from my phone including the OS. Now when I try to connect my otg with a memory card reader (which is working perfectly on my pc) it doesn't appear anywhere. And when I tried to install the ROM and gapps from my pc via ADB, my phone doesn't show up in device manager I tried show hidden devices but it didn't help..
So can anybody help me in fixing this issue

Use TWRP 3 to transfar files from pc to phone
But it has to be TWRP 3.X.X, just boot into the recovery and connect the phone to pc with a normal cable
If you don't have the TWRP, flash it with Odin.

I have TWRP recovery installed into my phone but whenever I try to connect my phone to my laptop it only charges it does not show up as an external device. My pc doesn't recognize my phone. I am using an original cable which worked before for transferring files

Ummm, you will have to use a work around, you can copy the rom and gapps to Micro SDcard and put it in your phone and install the rom with it by selecting "select storage" and choose external sdcard.
Or if you have TWRP 3.0.2.1 you will find an option in "select storage" to select from OTG.

Are you sure it's the correct rom for your device? Error 7 means usually rom & device do not match, it's a safety mechanism to avoid you bricking the phone..
In rear cases it can also happen due to outdated recovery, but I bet on the first reason..
By the way, go to your device specific forum, lots of people owning the same device are there..

No it was not the problem of a wrong ROM. It was something in the scripts. I have installed the ROM along with gapps.
But I have a new problem now. I am unable to operate my phone with the touchscreen. But it's working with a mouse perfectly. Also it is not recognizing my SIM card and the camera is also not working
Lineage 14.1
Nougat 7.1.1
