Yes, with Blu spark latest twrp recovery

I tried and it doesn't work. The USB drive is connected but won't mount. I'm able to use the same drive inside oos using any file explorer though

noticed a problem as well. all my USB drives would show as 199MB only I'm TWRP. they work fine everywhere else. even tried different TWRP versions.

Never had OTG or SD read write problem on oos or 5.1.1 cm based roms

I never had a problem until recently.
I just flashed and tried a few other recoveries. after coming back to blu spark TWRP 2.8.7.0 USB-OTG is working normal again....

Its possible using adb push to /data/media
Make sure you dismount after copy or recovery wont see the file

Connect your phone to pc/laptop then in recovery select mount usb and then your device wil appear as external drive

Unfortunatly Galaxy S3 cant mount internal storage as usb. It is formatted in ext4. Adb is probably best option

No usb mount option in SGS3..connect adb..type adb push/pull /path of the target /path of destination.
Or if you are good at edify/busybox..create a updater script to flashed via CWM

I got the touch recovery from the website and cannot get the internal SD to mount either.
There is something else I am missing.

OTG cable problem

I've been using an otg cable to move my nandroid backups off internal storage to a flash drive. I'm using the touchwork recovery. Recently I updated it to ver. 6.x.x. Since then, I keep getting errors when trying to copy or move my nandroids to the flash drive. I've also tried just connecting the DNA to my computer with the factory cable and get an "unspecified error, unable to copy". I can copy anything else, back and forth, just not my backups. Did TWM recovery change something in ver6? The backups restore just fine also

Can you still access the flash drive in a ROM while booted?

Wiped Internal No ROM to flash

Ok so i have a htc one with the internal data wiped, so i have no rom to flash. If i buy a micro sd card and copy roms onto it using my other phone, take the sd out and stick it in the htc one, will it recognize the sd card and the files on it? Right now the htc doesnt have any OS installed so im not sure if it will recognize the sd card in recovery mode. The phone is unlocked/rooted with twrp on it.
HTC One doesn't have an SD slot, use TWRP and adb sideload to flash a ROM.
Lol just realized. Only problem when trying to sideload, I can't get my macbook to recognize it when using the cmd ./adb devices

Just an FYI incase someone bumps into this thread looking for help, I could not get sideload to work properly so I just ended up buying a OTG usb cable and it worked like a charm. Just transfered zip files using my other device to the attached usb thumb drive and the htc one read the thumb drive connected to the otg cable perfectly fine in twrp. Just be sure to mount it in twrp. A very cool little tool that i can see myself using for other purposes as well.

Thanks man! Works perfect now!
Also guys @jmz has not worked in the fixes for exfat support on external SD cards. Only fat32 right now. Should not be too long before it's fixed.

On the ported TWRP version 2.6.3.3 compression works just fine! And it seems to be more stable (less quirky) than the 2.7.x.x versions. The only thing that doesn't work on 2.6.3.3 is the external sdcard.
