formatting sd-card
how to format my sdcard to FAT32 then?
When in Windows, Right Click your SD Card when shown under My Computer, Click Format. The Format Box will open. There, you will have an option to choose FAT or FAT32.
don't forget to make a backup before formatting
you can still flash cwm with fastboot

Do i need to put it in Card Reader every time to format before installing a new rom?
Go into Recovery. Mounts and storage. Format sd-ext.

after formatting the partition, do u need to Mount USB Storage? or will it do it for you when installing the rom?
I did a partition using from recovery to try and flash DIRTs new rom. My phone will flash it fine but then it gets stuck on the HTC EVO 4g loading screen, not even the rom boot screen. Could my partition have been the issue? Ive tried multiple roms none work.
Please Help!
It could be, if you used an unsupported format or the partition is corrupted. I would try to re-partition the sd card.
Do i repartition the same way I did it the first time? Can I "un partition"?

Yes you would; if you want to 'unpartition,' use an adapter, and use whatever OS you are on to just format the whole card to fat32, then partition again in recovery.
You haven't by chance been using firerat's mtd mod, have you?

Hello,
My first gen Kindle Fire has been setup in the OtterX format and has been running well on the CM STG7 ROM. I decided to update to the latest version last week and since then, my OtterX has not recognized the SDCard.
TWRP does see the SDcard and will view it's contents when browsing the file manager, but it won't mount the SDcard to my computer desktop. Nothing happens when I click the mount button.
When the OtterX boots, the System > Storage sees the SDcard and contents, but when I try to browse to it with a file manager, it says the path is invalid.
ADB shell sees the /sdcard/ directory and I can browse it from the shell as well.
I've tried formatting the entire device, including wiping the internal storage and formatting data (where you have to type in "yes") and nothing has resolved this issue.
Any idea what's going on?
I have had similar problem, rebooting a couple of this times seemed to fix.
But may need to reformat in twrp or do otter x partitions in bootloader

I'll try reformatting again.
My partitions became corrupted a couple years ago and I had to rebuild them manually, following a tutorial. OtterX partitions in the bootloader doesn't work on my device. I'm guessing it's because the partitions are spot-on with the sizing.
Do you know of a way to rebuild the partitions manually so they match the stock specs - maybe that way the bootloader partitioning would work?
Just restore amazon partitions in bootloader, reboot, restore otter x partitions.

Bingo! That seemed to fix it. CM11 is seeing the SDcard just fine now. Thank you!

For some reason after trying a different ROM (can't remember which one), I lost my SD card again and I can't seem to get it back. I even reverted the bootloader to FFF and did the "OEM Format", then followed the steps back to OtterX.
Attached is my partition table. I don't see a 'media' table, which is the SDcard, correct?
Any idea what else to do?
Otterx utilizes space that was already there, but reserved for the system. In order to better use available space for user data, the storage is placed elsewhere on the tree. The sd card should be located under storage on the otterx tree.

The strange thing is TWRP sees and accesses the SD card just fine.
I have a feeling the SD card isn't formatted in the correct format. Any idea how to format (or check/change format type) of the SD card through ADB?
Did you try the Repair file system in TWRP?
In OtterX Twrp 2.7.1.0 not 2.7.0.1
Wipe>advanced wipe
check data>current file system should be f2fs
tap Repair or change file system if you want to change back to ext4

Just checked the partitions with TWRP 2.7.1.0...
Dalvik Cache - Invalid partition selection
Data - f2fs
Internal Storage - Invalid partition selection
Cache - f2fs
System - ext4
I then formatted data as ext4 and the ROM still doesn't see the SD partition.

Yup! Didn't seem to fix the issue.
Is there a way to put the Kindle back to 100% factory specs, like SBF for the Droid X or Odin for Galaxy S3?

Is this what you used to re-partition the system, data, and cache partitions?
