Is it NTFS formatted? Apparently the stock ROM/kernel doesn't support NTFS. Try Ext4, FAT or exFAT.
it doesn't meets the power requirement , i have a seagate backup plus 1 tb external and its usb3.0 and doesn't works on usb otg , get an external powered usb port and then try connecting it, would definitely work.

[Q] usb port not detected nor will connect to windows

Hi
Have a 2012 Nexus 7. Was rooted and had stickmount on it. OTA 4.3 update came and installed. Unit appears to operate ok afterwards, except the usb port. The usb port will charge. It is not detected by windows. It will not connect to windows.
My guess is that the internal driver for the usb is corrupted, either by the update or stickmount.
Is it possible to
download the update
put it on internal storage
re-install it?
Thanks
Yes. Download firmware directly to nexus then install it. For usb use nexus media importer is better than stickmount
I'm not sure why you think NMI is better than Stickmount. Stickmount is free and I can read/write/stream to and from thumbdrives, sd and microsd cards, my wd 750Gb external hd and it supports fat, fat32, ntfs and exfat. Even if NMI has these capabilities, you still have to pay for it.

OTG flash drive issue

I've bought a Verbatim usb type-c otg flash drive with the otg option enable in the storage option. However it is not working at all. Is OPT not supporting usb type-c flash drive or I've missed some setting in option?

Install a rom to an empty twrp with no access to a computer?

Hello, so I kinda messed up and deleted Internal Storage in TWRP, the only problem is, I'm on Holiday and don't have access to a computer, the only devices I have is an apple device and an old Samsung device... I've completely run out of ideas to how I could get a rom to my phone? I'm desperate so maybe there's something I'm missing?
Thanks
Run to a local electronics / department store and get an SD card, an SD card reader (that plugs into a USB port), a USB to USB-C adapter, plus a USB to micro-USB adapter. Put the SD card into the adapter and plug it into the micro-USB adapter. Plug it into your old samsung phone or Apple device and mount it as external storage (USB-OTG). Download a ROM and put it on the SD card.
Then put the SD card adapter into the USB to USB-C adapter and plug it into your phone. In TWRP, mount external storage and install the ROM from the SD card.

Otg is broken in official twrp. I don't know if one of the unofficial builds support it or not.

My thoughts exactly. I would love there to be a supported version. I want to decrypt my phone but can't get mtp connectivity on my PC (Windows Vista lol)

According to changelog the test version (83) has otg support https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=73220260
Edit: and otg fix was merged into twrp source, so next official release should work.
