Curious to know if anyone has successfully booted after converting more than just data partition to F2FS, Thanks in advance

I converted a stable version of cyanogenmod into f2fs format. Everything was going well until I accidentally updated it and now it just sits on a bootloop. Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this without wiping. No i didnt get to create a nandroid.

The update you installed likely reformatted your system and cache partitions back to ext4. Try reformatting them and reflashing your ROM.
Alternatively, you could also try just flashing an f2fs-compatible kernel first to see if that gets it booting for you. That may be all you need if /data is still formatted as f2fs.
Did you used TWRP to convert to f2fs ?
I have converted my Nexus 7(grouper) to all f2fs and flashed slimlp. How do I convert it Ext4 file system and flash CM 12 Nightlies.?
I believe it's the same way you converted to F2FS, but this time select "EXT4" and not "F2FS".
I thought of doing that, but better get to know from someone who has done that before.
Flashing factory image restored to ext4.. That is safest method to do this.
After you convert everything back ext4, you can convert the data and cache back to f2fs because the nightlies in cm12 support this. You just need to leave the system partition as ext4 since this isn't supported yet.
Yup, I have seen those options, but didn't convert it to F2FS.I am giving my tab to my brother and he is not interested in flashing and all, but before giving I wanted to try baton(I have a one plus one), that's why I have flashed CM12.1. I was unable to get baton work.
Ok, so I finally found and settled on a kernel with f2fs support. The Simplicity 1.1 kernel for my stock, but modified 5.1.1 TW system. I've tried to follow the guides out there on how to convert the /data and /cache partitions to f2fs. I've followed them to the T and every time I reboot, it comes up saying the data partition is damaged and gives me the option to reset the phone, so I always end up rebooting to recovery and converting back and restoring from my nandroid backup and all is well. I hate being defeated and want to give this a shot, so if anyone has successfully done it or has any advice, it would be truly be appreciated! Thank you all for your time

Which recovery you use to format to f2fs
I am have formatted system,data,cache to F2FS and flashed LOS, never complete boot. Tried having System as EXT4 and others as F2FS, system never boots. Did anyone tried this?
Anyone able to boot with more than data partition as F2FS? If so what kernel/ROM are you running. Thanks in advance
