[Q] Can't mount SD Card in TWRP

I recently rooted my kindle fire and installed twrp along with cm7, but I accidently did a factory reset inside cm7 and was stuck on the firefirefire logo, I used an unbrick tool, but that erased all my user data and did not help. I managed to get my boot back to 4000 and install twrp again, but it won't let me mount sd card and will only allow me to mount system.
Sorry Im a noob

Im having the same issue, trying to moun it, but I keep getting
Error mounting /sdcard!
Is there a way to fix it? Im stuck on recovery (CW)

Heres a great idea get off of the discontinued recovery and switch to touch screen clockworkmod recovery its way better when it comes to things like that

guys this has nothing to do with twrp - it's working fine
just do following:
- boot to twrp
- test adb with "adb devices"
- open shell -> "adb shell"
- issue "echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file"
- now the sdcard should mount to the computer
- windows will probably respond that the volume/device needs formatted before using it
- choose quick format and let it format it as fat32 block size 4096

Thanks b63 for the fast reply. I dont have twrp I have CWM recovery, im trying to install TWRP but I get an error:
error: device not found
Is there another way to install TWRP?
Thanks

i don't know about cwm but i would try to boot to it and test if adb is working
then it should be the same - you only need adb root access
if you have this access with cwm also then there is no need to install twrp

Well if I boot into CWM
I can do adb shell
But then nothing happens
If I let Kindle boot normally (after the Yellow triangle) the screen goes black and I cant adb shell anymore
What im doing wrong or what im missing.
Thanks again
BTW
When I boot int CWM I get this message
E:Can't Mount /cache/recovery/command

stay in your recovery
after the command the sdcard should mount to your computer
check your device manger
follow the first desciption
if you can't get it gimme a pm ...

Wooooot!
Thank you so much b63!!!!I couldnt sleep for this damn problem
In the end this one help me out
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 >> /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
I dont know why it worked with >> its the same (for this case) but I could finally mount it on windows
Now im back to CM7, really thanks!!!!!

really glad that it worked ...

b63 needs a medal lol.

Thanks b63 I got twrp to mount the sd card, with this:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 >> /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
But, when trying to install cm7 I get an error:
E:Cannot load volume /misc!

ignore it - the kf don't have a volume "misc"

Stuck in twrp!!!!

I can get into TWRP, but when I type in ADB DEVICES in command prompt, it says the standard daemon not running, then daemon started successfully. This is followed by List of Devices attached, but it's blank after that.
I used the Kindle Fire Utility to install drivers, and when I use ADB DEVICES Command Prompt with my T-Mo Vibrant, I can get into ADB Shell.
Any advice?
Please note, this isn't mine. I've never owned a Kindle Fire, so I'm banging myself raw with information overload on this type of device. I'm trying to help a co-worker out with his Fire that he borked. I've owned three android phones/tablets and rooted/ROMed all of them, so I follow instructions. So far, I've tried the Kindle Fire Utility and the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility found in these forums. My co-worker didn't get to the point of making a back-up or installing the Stock Image as an Update.zip. I have the stock image downloaded, and have renamed it, but I can't get it onto the tablet at all. Selecting Mount in TWRP always locks everything up, and there is nothing to Install or Restore. So, like I said, I'm getting bloody here, but no joy.
Any help would be appreciated!

what's the status of the kf ? -> you can get into twrp - that is good - do that
what's the status of the drivers in device manager ? -> which driver loaded ?
what have you/he done/tried to get to this point?
i'm asking to give you the right method ...

He says he rooted it, installed FireFireFire, and the ICS-ish launcher (name eludes me at this point). Then, it basically boot-looped (Yellow Triangle, then Kindle Fire, back to Yellow Triangle).
My first thought was ADB Shell, but the KF is apparently a stranger animal than most of the other Androids I've dealt with, so it didn't automatically pop up. I installed KFU (Kindle Fire Utility, most recent version), installed the windows drivers (I have Win7 Pro 64-bit) that came with the KFU, and attempted to get it to boot normally, recovery, or anything. Note - A couple of times (like 4 or 5 out of 100), it did make it to a full boot for a few seconds, but would crash within seconds. TWRP was not installed at that point, so I successfully pushed that with the KFU. I also downloaded the stock image, and renamed it. TWRP won't mount the SD card so that my computer can see it, so I'm losing that battle. Also, at some point along the way, the KF started attempting to connect to the PC when plugged in, with the typical USB device connected sound, but two seconds later, it acts like it is unplugged, with that sound. If the KF is visible in the Device Manager, it must be hidden, cuz I can't see it. This was not the case at first, with an Unmount icon for the Kindle being displayed in the notification (right) side of the Windows toolbar. This is in conjunction with the device now booting straight to TWRP, and not even attempting to go the normal boot route. I've also tried a Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility to restore it, with no luck. It wipes the User Data, wipes cache, downloads the update.zip, but can't mount the unit to push the data. I've never been able to get ADB to find the unit.
If I can get the update.zip to the SD root, or if I can ADB shell it, I think I've won. But I'm being blocked on both those counts.
Thanks for being willing to look into this for me!

the problem is the ics launcher - it simply don't work
would recommend to use go launcher instead, for the future
now to the problem:
one solution is to boot to twrp - there is adb root access available
maybe check and update drivers - look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22342376&postcount=6
then delete the ics launcher .apk (don't know the exact name) with adb commands
this should make the kf startable again and nothing is lost
an other solution is to flash a new rom but i don't think that this is necessary
and never ever flash the original rom from amazon unless you want to return the device - there is a risk of bricking it and you will loose fff,twrp and root
there are prerooted stock images available for returning to stock rom:

[Q] Need help ASAP - will not mount storage in TWRP

I formatted the device and sd card...I tried restarting and it would not load into the ROM anymore. (It was previously working) I messed up by formatting them both...
I was able to get the TWRP recovery installed (I am rooted) via the KF Utility. Now I am trying to mount it via TWRP with Mount > Mount USB Storage. If I can do that I can put a ROM on it and reflash a new one. However when I click "Mount USB storage" it goes to the screen "Unmount" but nothing pops up on my computer. I checked my Computer and there are no usb storage devices that pop up on my computer.
I installed the KF driver from the KF Utility folder that it comes with. I can't get it to mount...PLEASE help me!

The KF would show up as a Android Composite ADB Interface under Android Phone. If you don't see that try installing the drivers again from the KFU > Drivers directory. Either dpinst32.exe or dpinst64.exe. If they won't install because of an error you need to find what the driver is installed as on your system, then uninstall it and reinstall dpinst... and you should be good.

If you havent got it fixed make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data then mount there should only be checks in cache and sdcard

Also having the same problem...

Have you figured it out yet? I'm having the same problems where I attempt to mount through twrp and nothing happens on my pc.
I have Glazed ICS
It's odd though... when I connect while booted my kindle shows up as a galaxy, it's only when in twrp that it appears as a kindle/android adb device
Reinstalled the drivers... ect, nothing...
Any other suggestions anybody?

For some reason, formatting the sdcard in TWRP breaks its ability to be mounted via USB and must be mounted manually and formatted via your computer.
Open your CLI and prepare to send adb commands:
Code:
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
You'll get a dialog saying the drive needs to be formatted. Choose quick format, FAT32, block size 4096
Be damn sure the "mmcblk0p12" says "p12", not p1 or p2, or you will be performing a little "surgery" on your device to fix it.

Alright, I'm going to be rather noobish here and I'm incredibly sorry about that...
Win7 64, Kindle Fire rooted to Glazed ICS
I'm going to go through all the stupid questions at the beginning... should I have my device booted regularly or in TWRP?
In TWRP:
devices doesn't show up in adb devices
In Regular Boot:
My devices is showing up in adb devices...
after opening cmd and starting amd.exe I enter amd shell and nothing happens. cmd goes to the next line and sits there (wont let me do any kind of input)
From searching and reading I'm suppose to get a $ symbol yes?
(What it looks like)
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell
_

No. In Unix based systems (OSX, Linux, Android), the root prompt is a "#" I have no idea what it is for Windows.

Alright, so I've been working for two weeks to get some kind of shell prompt and have been unable to get it.... Any ideas as to why I'm not able to do it?

My first suggestion will always be to eliminate any possibility of Windows errors and set up a Linux LiveUSB. By doing so, you can rest assured it isn't the computer itself causing any unnecessary difficulties.
If your shell is messed up, the way to fix it is by reinstalling the ROM. Just be careful doing so, because if you accidentally forget to wipe the necessary partitions and it prevents the system from booting, you'll likely be looking at getting a factory cable before you can move any further.
Linux is very stable but it needs to be configured before it will work with adb and fastboot. Soupkit will do that for you very easily. Just remember, the device itself plays a big role in whether or not adb or fastboot will connect. If that's the case, you may have to look at other options.

I have the same problem... the biggest problem is when there is OS the kinlde fire adb driver was different from in the recovery I went to my computer device manager and It have amazon kindle fire2 unknown and Linux storage G:\ different from the old driver is google USB or amazon kindle fire USB and the storage is diffrent too and I can't delete the old driver either... need help how can?

Cant mount SD card on kindle fire.

So I was messing with my kindle and it was trying to upgrade it to jelly bean and i guess i missed one of the steps and bricked it. I was going through the process of unbricking but when i was trying to do extract the update.zip folder it would not allow me to because it could not mount the SD card. All i need to figure out how to do is get the SD slot mounted. I am slowly picking up on command prompt and still trying to figure out adb shell but that is all i need help with.
I can unbrick it if someone knows how i can get my kindle to mount back to my computer!
Any advice or step by step for it would be very helpful, Thanks guys

Could you be more specific as to how your Kindle is "bricked"?

I can only get to CWM. It does nothing but boot loop and does not go any farther then that. I can plug it into the computer and get the drivers connected and KFU can recognize it. when i put it in cwm this is the first thing i see

Forgive my redundancy but please describe the "boot loop". Does it just sit at the Kindle Fire logo? Does the Kindle Fire logo flash, or change brightness? Does it make it to the boot animation? Black screen?

It will go to the kindle fire logo and then it would go to a black screen. It makes no boot animation. It will change some brightness. The words kindle fire are in white and blue. It flashes where is needs to do the boot animation and then just goes to a black screen

The image shows a very low battery. The behavior you describe suggests a low battery. You're in a boot loop caused by no power.
Let it sit for several hours (better...over night).
Edit:...ie. let it sit with your charger attached.....

It might be a good idea to consider installing TWRP rather than using CWM. CWM is known to have problems with some newer ROMs.

Ok i did that but it still will not let me connect the kindle to the computer it keeps giving me sdcard errors. any idea how to fix the sd card issue?

Hey were u able to fix it??
Had the same problem with mine when I used TWRP to format my SD card..but was able to solve it..
What I did was a very simple thing..got the kindle recognised as a drive..used windows partition manager to format it
It worked.. I tx the stock and installed it
Try it and let me know

I had the same problem before and only had to reboot the kindle.

Nothing is working. i have given up all hope. Like this is crazy. It is screwed up for good. I cant get it to mount. If anyone wants to take a shot at it just shoot me a pm with an address and we can discuss something about trying to fix it or what the hell i did to it. Its crazy! and really messed up.

I have an Idea. If you have fastboot working on your computer. You could try flashing a rom from your computer by typing
fastboot -w(wipes device)
fastboot update <path to rom> (flashes rom)
If it works, you can then fix the sdcard easier with adb/shell/partition manager. Its worth a shot.
I also found this on a website
ROM update without SDcard
If you don't have an sd card, or your slot is broken you can try this trick, but you will need a custom recovery like Clockwork.
Boot up your phone to recovery. And move your rom file to the adb directory, and start a command line ( cmd )
adb shell
mount data
adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finised, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard ( mount the data folder into your sdcard folder, so your recovery will think that you have an sdcard installed )
Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions (ie: pressing the trackball, pressing the call button, etc.)
If no errors arise during the flashing process then the ROM flash was successful, Reboot the device.
With some root file explorer, remove the rom file if you don't need it anymore, to free up space.
Or use adb to remove the custom recovery
adb shell rm data/custom_rom.zip

I will give it a shot. Only thing is i dont think there is even any software on here. when i try to get it into fastboot mode here is what it says.

Then you need a factory cable to get into fastboot.

When you see the error message:
Code:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)
It means you don't have access to the shell in order to switch bootmodes and access recovery, which is needed to fix this type of problem. The only way to change bootmodes without access to the shell, is in fastboot. Unfortunately, you need access to the shell to change the bootmode to fastboot as well...catch-22.
For this, you need a factory cable. The factory cable will tell the device to boot into fastboot without the need for a shell. Even with a factory cable, and access to recovery, you'll still likely need to either reformat, or repartition your sdcard in order to get it to mount.

Can't mount SD card on kindle fire
I was in a similar situation and after reading the various forums i came across this action "hold down the power button until the kindle goes off and continue to hold for about 30 seconds I believe this resets the kindle and then tick debugging and mount usb storage the sdcard will open on your pc" and then you can go from there. Worked for me so good luck.

Stuck at TWRP. loaded a stock up date using adb cannot find file

I have rooted and installed custom Roms on my wifes KF and mine and it worked flawlessly. So i assumed i could root my co-workers also. (FAIL)
So i loaded up KFU installed TWRP first. stuck on splash screen, conducted a hard reset and then tried to root.Then it stuck on "attempting to remove root checker" Waiting for Device. and reset again.
Now it reboots though FFF boot loader and then again straight to TWRP. After much reading and trial and error i have (i think ) flashed an up date using adb push C:\kfu\software\update.zip\ /sdcard/ line command but the file is not in the sd card parition of twrp
i have identified the boot mode as obviously 5002 recovery should i be in 4002 fastboot for that to work?
this is a two part thread. adb works fine and the kindle is recognized as a device but i am unable to access the files on it.....

just use mount and put this rom on instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 select mount make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data then hit the big button transfer this rom (not the alt version) to the sd card but dont put it inside any folder then umount flash it and enjoy.I have seen more people screw up by trying to flash update.zip not always a good idea unless you know what your doing..

Forgive me i did not read the whole post

it must be in zip form to flash it no need to wipe this is the only rom you do not have to wipe to flash...

this is the command line is used
adb push C:\kfu\softwear\Gr9.2.zip\ /sdcard/
is that correct? i am in fastboot mode now (kindle fire white/blue)

also the easiest way to set the correct file path is to type
Code:

then drag drop the file to the terminal this will place the file path then add /sdcard

BIG THANKS ThePooch
mounted the sd card to pc loaded files and i am rooted with a custom rom!!!

very good your set next time you go to recovery perform a backup as well as remember this is the only rom you can flash without wiping... next one you will need to wipe factory reset,cache,dalvik and system.... of course all after a backup...

[Q] Please help, Accidentally deleted ROM, Backup Failed

I havent used this tablet in a long time due to the fact that I accidentally deleted the rom and my backup wont work. The problem is I cant access my sdcard now through twrp. My computer doesnt recognize the kindle at all. I'm not the most savy person when it comes to all this, and I rooted this thing a long time ago following instructions. I never had any problem uploading new roms and wiping etc. and can usually figure the problem out. I installed the drivers necessary, attempted to abt sideload. Please help me get my kindle back! Its been a long time.

I did so, but just in case I didnt do it right I tried again. My computer is about to be found before I go to into Recovery on TWRP but not after, but even when its found..its only in my device manager, not under device so that I could add files to the sdcard..Windows 7 btw.

My PC wouldn't access SD card but while in twrp on device, on pc opened cmd in folder with adb and 'adb devices' saw my device. Was able to 'adb push' files to /sdcard/ that way. I was in twrp, had no backup, lost root and system was wiped. Nothing but twrp was on here. Which I had to revert to stock unrooted and reroot the device but it came out fine.

I'm not the smartest when it comes to rooting my Kindle fire 1 and erased the ROM also. Could you be more explicit on how you accessed the SDcard on the kindle when twrp is running? I have windows 7 and the 0.9.9 utility downloaded but I haven't run it yet.
Thanks! MJ

Once TWRP is installed don't use kindle Fire Utility.
When Kindle is TWRP recovery, select Mount, check storage/sd card then select Mount USB Storage

Almost there!

I can see in the Kindle is the TWRP folder and a fix_permissions.log
Sorry to be as thick as a brick!

In TWRP, I selected Mount, Mount SDCard, "Mount USB Storage"
Then Windows opens a file manager window and I see Kindle (K
In that folder I see the TWRP folder and the log file I described.
In TWRP in the Kindle, the only button I can hit is the Unmount.
There is no Home button - that shows after I hit Unmount.
Again, sorry to be so thick I don't see what you describe
I can't copy the Amazon Zip file via windows, it stops about 1/3rd the way and errors

OK! I figured it out! I had a wonky USB cable! Once I replaced it I was able to copy the update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.zip into the Kindle. I tried to flash it but TWRP reported that it could not open the zip. I had the update-kindle-6.3.2_D01E_4110520.zip file also D/L'd and copied it to the Kindle. That file flashed and the Kindle booted back up to 6.3.2 stock KF1.
Many Many thanks to sd_Shadow for pointing me the right way and shoving REALLY hard!
