You can check if your device is OTG compatible with this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.faitaujapon.otg
it is compatible with otg i checked but i think otg is disabled in my kernel or something

You must find kernel compatible with controler and enable it
Custom kernel requieres root and custom recovery.

Uhm... CM11 don´t know, because I don´t use it.
TW 4.3 means stock ROM? Its Boeffla kernel.

OTG Support - Moto E
OTG support was available for version 4.4.2 and after upgrading to 4.4.4 it stopped working. Now we get only 4.4.4 version pre-installed. Is there a way to downgrade to version 4.4.2?

Moto E does not support OTG, it never did, it's both hardware and software limitation.

Yes flash 4.4.2 stock firmware without flashing gpt.bin file.
Yes, you can unlock Qualcomm settings.
Step 1 - install a custom android launcher, such as nova or apex.
Step 2 - long press on the home screen and popup appears, and click on add shortcuts. Shortcuts>activities>com.Qualcomm.settings>Qualcomm settings.
Whenever you connect your otg go to Qualcomm settings and click on enable otg or otg mode peripheral, and also switch on mass storage mode.

CONFIRMED!
OTG works on stock 4.4.2 using external powered usb hub, there is no mouse/keyboard detection but sucefully load my usb flash drive using the "Nexus Media Importer" app from playstore.
This means, Moto E has USB Host Support from hardware! The only limitation is in newest softwares/kernels!

Some Android device does not support any type of usb connections, like most of LG phones, these devices haven't otg drivers, XML permissions, mount partitions and kernell support, but in hardware i think the only limitation is the 5V power supply, and yes, you're right, mounting usb sticks through ext powered usb hub isn't otg support like moto g and x, is only a simple USB Host support

I used a external powered usb hub and a simple otg cable, this method is working only on 4.4.2 stock firmware, don't ask me why, in lollipop it don't seems to work, but probally using a custom kernel is possible put usb host to work, let's wait for a developer to do that in future

I don't belive it's not possible... Moto E has USB Host drivers, permissions, and mount partitions (I see it on my device) but, OTG don't works, with and without a powered USB HUB... So, i belive it's only a kernel limitation... or something like this... It's only my opinion, but maybe is possible make OTG works, just wondering

Has anyone tried whether otg works after using a powered otg cable?
Just like it worked on Xperia L .
Thanks if anyone can reply.

I mean it is need kernel and software support or anything else? On my old ace 3 it worked from cm11 to 12.1 well

well it works well for the xperia L stock rom no need of cm.

and for nexus 4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/usb-otg-externally-powered-usb-otg-t2181820
and some other devices got otg using this method as well.
I don't know whether this will work for lollipop.
we should be able to get otg to m4 through this or similar method.but actually nobody seems to be interested.
I dont have a powered otg cable or usb hub to test it.
If anyone can test it please let me know.
thanks
why is nobody interested?
Its a software bug with M4, other phones work without having external power.

If it is a software issue, we should be able to make it.
but i think the cpu and hardware supports usbhost but sony haven't made it possible to power a device externally.
and files such as Android.hardware.usb.host is missing on the m4.
check usb host checker.
if we can add these required files and power the device externally. otg should work just like xperia L.

Hi all,
I am using Moto E 2015[XT1521] 4G variant with CM 12.1-20160104-NIGHTLY, unlike the stock lollipop ROM there is no option to mount OTG drives.
There are some scenarios of the problem :
1. Some other Moto E 2015 4G variants(e.g. XT 1524 & some other XT15XX models) claims to have OTG support with CM 12.1 by usuing ES file explorer or Chainfire Stickmount .
2. Some guys in the forum saying that it lacks OTG support but The stock ROM of this model supports OTG.
The Solutions I've Tried :
1. ES file explorer : nothing happens
2. Chainfire Stickmount : nothing happens
3. I have used some custom kernel (e.g. Squid Kernel): nothing happens
till now I'm facing the problem. Please Help !!!!

same here bro ! also the TWRP doesn't supports OTG.
* make sure its formatted with FAT32 as it only supports FAT32
To support OTG, the device needs a 5V amplifying booster. No version of Moto E have that booster. That's why a pendrive through OTG is not detected. But if you can supply an outside source of power to the OTG device, then your phone can mount it. This is according to @squid2

I know ! but I'm searching support for Cyanogenmod . Anyways Thanks a lot for the information bro :good: ! It proves that there is hardware compatibility for OTG.
I think it depends on the ROM and kernel you use. I'm on the latest RR update with the squid kernel r14 and I have OTG. On most other roms I couldn't get any OTG things working.

Thank you for the information. but I am searching otg support for CM.
Apparently using a otg y cable solves the problem. This enables to add the charger to other point thus giving it the proper power.
Can anyone tell me if OTG will work on a stock XT1528 if I add external power?
I just tried it on my Boost Mobile XT1526 running CM12.1 and it works fine with a normal OTG cable. My USB flash drives and a USB mouse I have work fine.
I have to mount it manually with terminal though. I can't find anything in the Play store that'll mount it except for two file managers, which isn't ideal. Because I'd rather use the CyanogenMod file manager.
I tried using normal Mounters from the Play store but they didn't do squat.

You are right, the stock ROM can mount it perfect without a external power source. CyanogenMod can to. I've done it a couple times now, by mounting it manually with a terminal app.
You need a rooted phone for this, CyanogenMod is already rooted.
Open a terminal app, doesn't matter which one. I use the terminal app that's built into CyanogenMod. Type this into the terminal app, pressing enter after each one:
su
mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /storage/usbotg
For me my USB flash drive is /dev/block/sda1, yours should be the same, if not then change /dev/block/sda1 to whatever yours is.
After you mount it, the USB drive should be found under /storage/usbotg in a file manager.
Don't forget to type this into the terminal app before you unplug the USB drive, else it might corrupt it:
umount /storage/usbotg
Hope that helps!
