Root Warp4 TWRP 2.8.7.0

1. Has anyone tried USB OTG with this recovery?
2. Has anyone tried plugging their device into their PC while this recovery is running? You should have MTP file access from recovery.

Needed that the other day when I was installing the stock dedoxed.. First install didn't work and I had already moved the stock nandroid backup off the phone. I had the sd in the warp 4g. Had to do some file copying and sd maneuvers haha. Always great to have mtp and adb access in recovery

I'm sorry but I'm new to this so I'm not really sure what you mean by testing OTG

No worries :) OTG is usb on-the-go. It is a way to connect external media to your phone. You need a special adapter or a special flash drive to use it. It plugs into your phones usb port and allows you to plug in flash drives for use as external storage.
 
Does it allow me to put files direct from my computer into my phone. Because I can do that now, its like fastboot I think

MTP is what you are using now. It lets you copy files from your PC to your phone while you are in recovery.

OTG lets you copy files to and from a usb flash drive plugged directly into your phone. You can even make backups to and restore from an OTG flash drive.
 
For anyone who wants to test something, Here is TWRP version 2. It is built off cm12 sources (instead of cm11) and is a newer version of TWRP. I am hoping it fixes the flashing problems. If not, at least we figured out how to work around it for now.

edit: removed link due to newer version in the OP

I just did and I found out that if you don't reboot your TWRP recovery from the TWRP menu after wiping data, cache and dalvik cache. You will get the error I was getting before

Well, at least we know how to make it work now. Thanks for testing. I know it is a pain :)
 
@Hulk did you happen to notice what TWRP version the newest one is? I believe 1b is TWRP version 2.8.5.0.
