[RECOVERY][All-F2FS] TWRP-2.7.0.0 with All-F2FS support [08/05/14]

[Balza76]

[...]then I flash M-Kernel compatible with All-F2FS.

It works for me!

This morning I have flashed M-Kernel too and it seems to work well.
No random reboot today, even with WiFi turned off and 3G on (I still use the latest version of Slimkat rom - build 5961 - modified by Convert To F2FS app).

I've done the same and it works too but now I have some problems with 3G connection: everything is ok with WiFi connections but if I turn off WiFi and try to connect with 3G my Nexus reboots randomly. Sometimes after 2 or 3 minutes, sometimes after 10 but one thing is sure, I cannot use the tablet with 3G on.

Have you experienced something similar? The same happened with "pre-AllF2FS kernel" (Slimkat installed on a Ext4 fs with only data in f2fs format).

I've also tried to install the latest AOKP and Paranoid roms, converted with Convert To F2FS app, but they stuck during first booting animation...

Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks. :good:

I've no idea, I'm afraid. Mine is a 3G device, but I don't have a SIM in it; I only use WiFi. I'm unsure what to suggest. A different kernel, perhaps?

I used the app on my Nexus to change the Slimkat ROM to the new format. But it persists in the boot logo.

Try flasing modified ROM + M-Kernel.

Stuck at Google logo

I also get stuck at the Google logo. I have a N7 Tilapia (32GB) and used the Convert_to_F2FS tool to create a Tilapia based Rom (CM10.2). I also downloaded a GApps file. Then I followed the steps, flashing the files with TWRP 2.7.0, booting into recovery, etc. I formatted the data at the end (and it shows it crease the F2FS data structure) and then reboot. But no matter what I try, I can't get it to boot. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong and how to get it to work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have same problem with Conver to F2FS. Finally I have to change the lines manually. From downloaded CM11 M10 ROM, find in the update script this lines and replace them:

original lines
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA", "/data");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "0", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");

replaced for:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

Save the script.

After flash the manually converted rom and GAPPs, then I flash M-Kernel compatible with All-F2FS.

Me too. After converting CM11 M9 with convert to F2FS, and following all the steps in OP, stuck on bootanimation.
If I flash slimkat converted it works, but no 3G. After compare the update script of Slimkat original and converted i found thos 4 lines changed:

original lines
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA", "/data");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "0", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");

replaced for:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

Then I download the original CM11 M9 and replaced the 4 lines in update script.

For the kernel, after flash the manually converted rom and GAPPs, then I flash M-Kernel compatible with All-F2FS.

It works for me!

Hi,
Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I updated the script, but I still got stuck at the Google logo. Can you post the ROM that worked for you? I'm sure there are many souls who have been trying this and are looking for a solution.
Thanks!

My order was:
- TWRP -> Recovery boot
- Partition.zip -> Recovery boot
- ROM, GApps -> Recovery boot
- M-Kernel -> Recovery boot
- Format

Looking forward to testing your ROM.

Thanks!

hi everybody, just a simple question: i want to buy convert f2fs on play store but i don't know how it works.....i'd like to create an all-f2fs custom rom, not only data and cache, also system.
Now i'm on CM12 , it allows f2fs only on data and cache, the overall impression isn't so good for me, thx

 

[stephendt0]

Any chance of an update to this recovery? 2.7.0.0 is a little old now.

No need. System is read only - meaning EXT4 is actually better suited as a filesystem.

Tried this recovery but upon accessing the recovery, it prompts with a filling field ask for password even though I haven't set any password at all.

With other recovery, it doesn't ask for password, but after finish flashed any rom, it can't be booted to the internal storage (password required). How to overcome that?

My tablet is legit, it's not stolen one.
