I have a bunch of junk on my sd card from flashing new roms and old apps. Is it possible to format the sd card back to stock without f'ing something up?
Question... this seems to be the wrong section... plug your SDCARD into the computer and back click on it I believe. Then find format.

I'm pretty sure that's what fiddlefaddle is talking about. Plug your Kindle in, mount the sdcard, and format it under computer management (Windows)

I guess its safe to assume this will wipe everything in the sdcard. Should I then have to re-install anything, TWRP, FFF, ROM, apps? I just want to make sure it will still work when I'm done. The reason I ask is because I don't know which files are necessary for programs currently running on Kindle. Also some have names that I don't automatically associate with an app.
Thanks!
Your sdcard is completely separate from your system files. The only things that will be affected are apps installed on your sdcard. You should copy the contents of your sdcard to your computer as a backup just in case you need something.
Another option is to simply boot into TWRP and go to Wipe>SD Card

Earlier i was running Fresh 3.2 with the kingsklick kernel but i wanted to see what Cyanogen whipped up new with his nightlies so i backed up my fresh rom and flashed CM6 Nightly 9/14 now im trying to go back to fresh and when i go to Nandroid to Restore i get a MD5 mismatch how do i get my backup to restore? Help me i really need some stuff on this rom
Put your SD card in your PC and find your clockworkmod folder and backup folder and rename your back up folder that you want to back up to with a date
i.e 2010-09-23.02.35.00
And it should work fine. I almost went postal on everyone around me because I thought I bricked my phone. Rough stuff when your messing with ROM root nandroid and such. I should be a pro before too long.

BLAH! Didn't work for me.. I had renamed it via clockwork to a name, and then the MD5 mismatched, and I searched and founf this thread, and so I tried renaming it, but it still mismatches...**** me..
Im having a similar problem with my incredible, so you think this would work just as well?
Yes, just rename the file on the pc, just have no spaces. Underscores, hyphens, and periods are fine.
i'm having similar issue with htc evo 4g but SD Card is MicroSD does not appear to fit in my PC SD slot. do some PC's have microSD and others don't? is there another option to rename my back up using micro SD card and a PC?

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to say that this worked for me! I found that I had a space in my restore name and when I took it out I was back in business!
So I went back to stock system because I needed to unlock my phone and I placed some files on my Internal SD, then installed PA 2.10 and when i try to access my Internal SD its completely new, my old stuff disappeared. Any suggestions on what i did wrong or how to access my files?
Another thing to mention, on the Internal Storage (when i plug in my phone to my PC) it says I only have 10GB of space out of 12, even though my "new" directory doesn't contain even 100mb of data.

This is a great reason why it's a good idea to invest in a $10 micro sd card. Did you format /system and/or /data?
They are stored in a folder call 0 now. Look in there. 4.2 rooms move all your data files there. You can find them all in there and move back if you like

AirDroid. It syncs your S3 with your computer via WiFi. It's in the play store.

You can use adb and navigate to /data/media.
Or you can get a file manager, navigate to /data/media, then move all your files to the 0 folder then do whatever you need to after.

this happened to me last week actually. When I went to settings/storage it only showed up the app storage and not the internal storage.
What I did was a bit extreme and scary, since I only just started flashing roms 2 weeks ago. I did a factory reset and wiped EVERYTHING in recovery including the sdcard and system, then I used an all-in-one toolkit to push the boot image and the rom through adb sideload. I used the following excellent post and flashed twrp recovery, as clockworkmod doesn't support adb sideload, apparently, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
Maybe as a last resort you could do it, it worked for me. but I would wait a day or two to see if someone with a bit more knowledge can suggest anything.
Thank you for you help i can see sd storage the seetings>apps but it only says 468mb is there anything else i do or will have have to wipe and start again??

That 468MB is your app storage partition... (apk)
Mount your usb storage from a custom recovery and backup the whole SD on your pc, then boot into the rom and mount the SD on your PC then restore all the files.
Or simply, move all SD content into the "0" folder or whatever its called in your rom.

How did you sideload the boot.img?
AFAIK you're only able to sideload a .zip-file.

Didn't word that correctly, the toolkit flashed the boot image in fastboot and then pushed the rom through sideload. I don't use toolkits now though, find it much easier using fastboot and adb commands

I'm running Vision X rom and I just tried using SanDisk 32 and 64 GB cards and neither one is being recognized in the phone. Neither my music app (PlayerPro) not ES File Explorer sees the card when I insert it. I have tried formatting the card as FAT32, exFAT and NTFS. Still no luck.
Does any one has any suggestion?

Thanks for the info. I just tried it and still nothing :'(
I've tried all possible fixes including changing the ROM but still nothing. I'm beginning to think that the card slot itself might be faulty as I've never tried it before. Is it possible to check for that? If so, how? I've already tried two different cards and no luck.
i actually had the EXACT same issue recently. i had to wipe data cache and dalvik 4x, reflash, rewipe 3 more times, then reboot. worked for me. Im running tweaked on my N3. try this, let us know

Tried the above mentioned procedure and reflashed Vision X rom but still no luck. What brand card did you use? I'm using SanDisk Ultra (32 and 64).
I also flashed the zip that Misterjunky mentioned earlier but still the same :crying:
Edit:Just test the card in wife's S3 and it picked up the card instantly. So it is definitely not the card. Either my card read messed up or there is something else wrong.

I'm using a SanDisk ultra 64gb. I actually have my own thread on the topic. May be a slight coding error in rom. Let me guess. Only thing that reads and accesses card is recovery mode?

In setting it does not even see the SD card. It says 'insert SD".
Edit: I just flashed TWRP recovery and it has option for micro SD but when I try to mount it nothing happens either. So I'm leaning towards the fact that the card reader might be toast :'(

Yep, card works perfectly fine in Windows and under two different cameras (with adapter).
I just cleared everything again and flashed Gummy ASOP rom, still no SD card :'(. The last thing to do is to order a new microSD card and try it out but at this point I have little hope of it working.

Final test. Flash back to stock unrooted. Check to see if it reads then. Hopefully, at same time, you can restore 0x0 on Knox. Warranty return if it doesn't read
