Hello,
yesterday i tried to flash SlimKat with "All F2FS" (SlimKat).
I Followed the description and copied all files to my Nexus 7, flashed the new all f2fs twrp 2.7 via fastboot. Flashed the FormatPartition.zip rebootet and flashed ROM and Gapps. Till here, everything works great. But if I try to Format Data it says to me that I need to type in my password to decrypt partition. But I never set one.
The only way to bring my Nexus 7 booting was to flash stock rom and stock recovery via fastboot.
I´ve tried it two times but everytime i get the same problem.
Anyone know how to fix this?
P.S.: Sorry for my bad english
You get that error, because either you recovery or your partition is not f2fs. My guess is the second one. Try formating the Data partititon from your f2fs TWRP recovery.
This error is shown when I try to Format Data partition. And I realy have flashed both (right recovery and flashed the formatpartition.ZIP)

If I were you, I would revert back to full stock and start from there step-by-step.
Tried it a third time after flashing full stock. Also have downloaded the recovery and the zips a secound time. Now it works like it should
Thank you for your help

Hey Guys,
i have a big problem with my new S4 (i9505).
Ive rooted the Stockrom with Odin and then i flashed the Recovery, thats works well.
After this step ive tried to flash CM10.1.
The first boot works well, ive setup my phone, take a reboot and then i have a bootloop.
Ive go to the Recovery and i see that /data is destroyed.
Ive formating /data, flashed CM10.1 again, first boot works, second boot, /data is destroyed.
Then i flashed the prerooted XXUBF8-Firmware, flash the recovery, all works well. Then i flashed a alternative Kernel, my /data will be destroyed again. I have to format it, and to reflash the stock firmware.
My last try was to flash the minit-Framework. After this flash, i cant boot in my system, becaus my /data was destroyed.
I dont thought that my device is destroyed, because the Stock prerooted F8-Firmware (with custom recovery) works 2 weeks long without any problems (ive rebootet many times in the 2 weeks).
What i doing wrong?
And sorry for my bad english
Best regards
Just to follow you : what do you mean by "destroyed" ? Formatted partition ?
If so, try to do the following : flash stock ROM, then the recovery (I personally use Philz Touch based on CWM), do a factory wipe and then install the rom you want.
Hey,
thanks for answer.
When i have a bootloop and go to the recovery and want reflash a rom, the installer say: cannot mount /data, unknow partition. and then the setup breaks up.
After a format of the /data-Partition via Recovery, i can reflash the rom, and boot onetime.
Ive go "your way" and i have the some problem. After one Reboot my /data is destroyed.
Mmmm...in the Philz Touch recovery (based on ClockWorkMod but with a lot of improvements), there is an option called "wipe data for new rom install" or something similar... give it a try !
I will try it
Ive tried it with CWM / TWRP and have the same error.
But i will try it ) *flash*
Till later

Good luck ! As you can normally flash stock rom, you don't seem to have hardware issues so don't worry
omg Oo
I dont believ it -.-
All the trouble are only fail from CWM and TWRP??
Now with Philz it works perfectly.
Ive installed Bobcat, reboot, flashed minit, reboot, flash another Kernel, reboot .. and it works Oo
Great )
Thanks
Hey guys,
Maybe the problem was already encountered by some of you, ok here it goes.
I'm trying to flash a F2FS Slimkat rom on my laggy Nexus 7 grouper. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP 2.8.2 and rooted the tablet, everything went fine.
After that it got a little tricky, I wiped the system and changed the format partition of cache, system and data to F2FS separately but when I try to mount my Nexus to put the zipped rom and the gapps afterwards, it appears on my Desktop but the files can't be transferred on it.
So my question is, how to transfer the zip files onto the Nexus after rooting it and turning all the partitions into F2FS because afterwards I'm not able to copy anything on it.
Thanks in advance
Saltari
I always use adb push without problems (on F2FS in TWRP, too)
Thanks, using adb push worked. I was able to flash both the rom and the gapps but now I'm stuck on a bootloop with the google logo and the black screen. What did I do wrong ?

I don't know, but here are some things you could try:
full wipe & flash only the rom without gapps
repair the file systems (same menu as reformat) and reflash
try other/smaller gapps (maybe the beta gapps from slimroms? they work for 4.4 although they're labeled 5.0)
try another rom
Hi,
a few days i deviced to manualy flash 5.0.2 an my old n7.
flashing 5.0 already made many problems.
so i hoped 5.0.2 would be easier.
i wasnt -.-
i can flash bootloader, recovery but not system. when i flash system (fastboot flash system system.img, all drivers corectly installed) it lasts ours until my pc says something new like "too many links" or so. but not every time it comes to an error message. sometimes nothing happens (waited 2 days!)
the n7 it selfs dont react then.
at flashing 5.0 it helped me to change the filesystem and change it back. at 5.0.2 nothing helps. also cant flash back 5.0
bootloader is 4.23.
has anybody an idea?
What filesystem are you trying to use? Keep it at ext 4 until you get the 5.02 system flashed. Try a fastboot format system before flashing again.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
I switched to ext3 and instantly back to ext4 . Never tried to flash on an other filesystem.
The format command I will try
i love you
this is embarrassing for me. i tried everything i knew. i also formated the system partiton in recovery. but to format it via fastboot doesnt come to my mind
So I take it that formatting system with fastboot allowed you to successfully flash system.img? I hope you have your N7 up and running on 5.02.
Yes you're right.
I flashed 5.0.2 . So far so good.
But it won't install apps. So I wiped the cache and now I have a bootloop today after work I will look after that. But I'm happy that I can flash normally
Hello all, I have an issue with recovery on my i9505 which hopefully someone can assist with?
I'm using the excellent Optimised CM12.1 and had TWRP 2.8.7.2 (f2fs) as my recovery all working fine. I've recently flashed the newest 2015-11-1 ROM over the top (clear cache and dalvik, but not data wipe) and all seemed great.
However, I went to 'reboot to recovery' in order to install exposed and got stuck on the teamwin splash screen of recovery. Every time I tried to power off it would bootloop into the same splash screen!
Using Odin I was able to flash a new recovery (TWRP 2.8.6.0) and reboot the phone as normal. All worked fine until I tried recovery again and found the same issue!
I've now got CWM (6.0.4.7) flashed to see if that would help but nothing is mounted when using that and so I cannot get to the zip files! When attempting to mount within CWM it errors and cannot mount.
I'm open to any suggestions and would like to learn why this is occurring. Let me know if there's any logs or files I can post that would help.
Many thanks in advance!

Do not use CWM. It's outdated and not compatible with Lollipop.
You could try flashing a stock rom with .pit and re-partition. After that flash TWRP again.

Thanks for the advice. I don't like CWM myself.. just tried it as an attempt to get TWRP flashed back properly!
I will go the stock re-flash route as a last resort. I'm sure it will fix the issue but is a little drastic.
What caused this? - is it something to do with the F2FS filesystem? TWRP recovery was working fine in order for me to flash the updated CM12.1 (2015-11-1).
I am trying to flash my N4 with cyanogenmod following the official wiki.
I'm at the point where I've installed TWRP into recovery, I've wiped everything (I've even formatted them since I couldn't wipe all of it initially), and the only error I see is "unable to mount /usb-otg".
Then, I've "installed" the CN zip files for the 13 and 12 versions, none of them works in the sense that when I reboot the system, I'm always coming back to TWRP.
What's wrong? Any suggestion?
Thanks
I've the same problems with my nexus 4

Hi gerardgerard,
I also wanted to flash my Nexus 4 with Cyanogenmod 12.1. So I installed TWRP into recovery and wiped everything, like it's explained in the wiki. I can also see the error "unable to mount /usb-otg". When I want to reboot the system I always get back to TWRP. Cyanogenmod doesn't boot correctly. Did you find a solution for the problem?
same problem
Hi
I'm having the same problem. As follows:
Cause (my mistake): I have been using Cyanogen-mod nightlies for a couple of months on my Nexus 4, and made the grave mistake of leaving the phone to upgrade one night but without it being plugged in properly - and it ran out of power part way through! (At least, that's what I think happened).
Fortunately, it would boot into bootloader and I could use adb/fastboot. I (re)installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 (from my Mac, using fastboot). And that works fine - I can boot into twrp ok.
Next I loaded the latest nightly from cm (using fastboot - is this what people call sideloading?) and used twrp to install it. It goes through the installation fine (the only error message is that it can't mount /usb-otg). But when I reboot it just goes back to twrp.
I then tried installing the earlier cm nightly that I know worked, but with the same result.
Finally, before I first installed cm I did a backup (using twrp), and I have tried recovering that. It seems to do all the right things, but again when I reboot it just goes back to twrp.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
J
Flash back to a completely stock ROM and run through the set up to make sure everything works. Then copy CM to the phone, reboot to fastboot, flash twrp, immediately boot into recovery using the volume and power button without leaving fastboot, wipe data, cache, system, flash CM, reboot.
If the phone will not boot after flashing a stock ROM, boot to fastboot, flash the userdata.img file, and immediately go to stock recovery without leaving fastboot, wipe data/cache, reboot.
It works now!
I managed to fix the problem ... I found this guide for the Nexus 5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
and I applied those instructions. It didn't work first time, so I just repeated them and now it's working. I used the 5.1.1 stock downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam.
I guess this is what audit13 means in their post - so thanks are due there.
I will next reinstall twrp and cm and I don't expect any problems with that (having done it successfully before).
