Hello,
I have twrp 2.0 Installed and i was going to flash hell fire on my kindle and i accidently (with help) wiped my sd card after i did a factory reset. Now it just boots twrp and nothing else. I there a way to force mount the sd card with no OS on it? So i can just put the kindle 6.3 Update back on it? Thank you very much

TWRP has a mount feature that will mount the sd card on your computer. Your computer's OS will probably tell you that it needs to be formatted first.

Hello! I have a rooted kindle fire 1st gen with twrp and a custom rom. I am going to be giving my kindle to a friend as a gift (I am getting a new tablet) and I was wondering how I would go about formatting (or just deleting everything) off the sd card without messing up twrp and anything that was vital for the kindle to run. Can I just delete everything but the twrp folder (will important folders recreate if I reflash the rom?) Thanks for any help!
I was visiting the section of this forum dedicated to Motorola Moto G that comes without micro sd card slot and I read about this Mini MicroSD Card Reader (OTG) for Android made by Meenova.
Any of you have tried it and can tell me if it works on a 1st generation rooted kindle fire?
thanks!

Chances are it does because the drivers are ment for android not any other platform. Just make sure that the rooted Kindle has support for the drivers(by support I mean version Example: 4.3 or requires 2.2) But it should work. Looking at the meenova site , it doesnt seem to be made for just moto G so go for it. And $12 isnt a big loss, much easier then going inside the kindle and soldering readers to the actual device.
I got the latest update yesterday and was looking forward to trying the the new usb functionality. I had a couple of pre-formatted Sandisk Cruzer Blade 4GB sticks. They were already formatted as FAT32 so I inserted one of them. The Fire TV picked it up right away and spit back a message telling me that to use the drive, I'd have to format it as FAT32. I figured maybe windows did something odd with the formatting that the Fire TV didn't like, so I let the Fire TV format the drive itself.
It formatted, saw all 4 gigs, and everything looked fine. I moved some apps to it and everything looked like it was working as it should. I wanted to test putting some media on the drive to see if vimu or kodi could play files from the USB, so I ejected the drive (yes, I did it the right way by going into the options and waiting until I was told it was ok to remove it). I removed the stick, put it into my PC and moved some episodes of Bob's Burgers to it.
I then plugged it back into the Fire TV and again was told that I needed to format the drive because it wasn't FAT32. Again I thought windows did something funny to the formatting, so I let the Fire TV format it again. Again everything looked fine afterwards. I redownloaded the apps I lost from formatting and moved them again to the drive.
To troubleshoot, again I ejected the drive, and after a few seconds, I plugged it back in. Once again, it told me I needed to format the drive to FAT32. At this point I was getting annoyed, and thought maybe one of the apps I moved to the card was the culprit. So I formatted again, and again everything looked fine. This time I did NOT move anything to the drive, and I again ejected it. After ejecting it, I plugged it back in and once again, it wanted to format the drive to FAT32.
Thinking I might have a bad flash drive, I pulled a second sandisk cruzer fresh out of its package, never having been inserted into a windows pc or any pc, and I plugged it into the Fire TV, Again it wanted to format it to FAT32. So I let it format, all looked well. I ejected it, plugged it back in, and again it wanted to format.
Is this how it's supposed to work? Are we supposed to have to format a drive every time it's inserted?

No, that's not how it's supposed to work. My guess is there's something odd about that brand of drive. See if the drive has a hidden partition or try an entirely different brand of drive.
Well thats better then a PNY 32gb I have I put it in say to format it , I hit yes , it asks to format , I hit yes .. and on and on it goes. It never actually attemps to format it. I have no problems using a external hard drive or any other flash drive but just this one 32gb flash drive it constantly asks to format till I hit no. I ended up using a 16gb microsd card with a usb adapter, works fine... would rather use the 32gb but whatever..
So it obviously has some quirks depending on brand .. try a differnt brand.

I use a 32G SanDisk Ultra fit formatted in FAT32 with Partition Magic and FTV never complained.
I tired an 8gb kingston stick I had, and it seems to be working. I really hope they work on the compatibility issues.

oh trust me I tried that and various other programs. The firetv just doesn't like this PNY flashdrive .
Solved: It was a stupid pilot error. My previous Fire TV went bad and so I replaced it, but I forgot to move the micro sd card to the new replacement.
Sorry!
I have a Fire TV Gen 2. Some time ago, it was easy to move selected apps to the micro sd card using "Manage installed applications". Now I want to move other apps there, including Kodi, but the option to move them to external / micro sd is now gone! As is the option to move them back to internal storage.
What's going on? My best guess is a lousy system update, but even so, I don't know how to fix this.
Can someone help me out, please?
Thanks!
