Today I first used an OTG adapter, after last week OTA update, but to my surprise it no longer works.

I've tried with a couple of different adpaters, with mouse and USB drive that previously worked, but neither one works now.

Can anyone confirm? I'm on stock 2.20.40.58, bootloader locked, no root.

EDIT: Now it seems that my phone isn't even recognized in my PC ( I'm at work at the moment, and I used a couple of generics microUSB cables, with the same results ), only charging works fine. Did something broke? Or it is just me :(

I'm on the same firmware version and I can confirm that USB OTG works. Also the phone and external memory card are detected when a USB cable is plugged. in(tried 2-3 generic cables as well as the ASUS cable). You may want to update your USB drivers for the PC to see if the phone gets recognised.

Thank you, now I'll check it more thoroughly when I get home.

I've managed to replace the USB board, and now OTG USB is working back, the phone is recognized on PC, but says "Device descriptor request failed" (I've tried with W10 on two different PCs, same results). A thread in ZenTalk mentions the issue in a Zenfone 5, but did all with no resukts
