[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
NOTE:As i have already moved on to the S6 edge, the amount of support that i can provide would be minimal

THIS IS COMPATIBLE WITH ALL VARIANTS OF THE NOTE 3.

Firstly f2fs can only be used with f2fs compatible KERNEL'S and if you brick your device,Its just because you didnt read and follow the instructions listed from this part of the OP.

Before we start,I would like to thank [MENTION=4569607]psycho4us4[/MENTION] who had allowed me to start a guide thread on the Note3 Forums on f2fs based on his thread from the Note2 http://xdaforums.com/note-2-tmobile/development/how-to-conversion-t2853975

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONVERSION OF EXT4 TO F2FS

1.Make sure you have the latest TWRP Recovery on your device(V2.8.1.0 Should be good to go) Get it here> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

2.In the { Settings } menu of TWRP make sure the [ Use rm -rf instead of formatting ] is unchecked MAKE A FULL, COMPLETE BACKUP with TWRP 2.8.1.0 ( I can't stress this enough if you don't want to use Odin). Keeping in mind that whatever format your partitions are is what format they will be backed up as, such as EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, FAT, F2FS, etc. This will wipe INTERNAL SD so please make a backup of it to your EXT SD CARD/EXTERNAL MEMORY DRIVE.

3. Next from TWRP home, select { WIPE }

4. Then select { ADVANCED WIPE }

5. Then select { CACHE } and click { REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM }

6. Then select { Change File System } and select { F2FS }, then SWIPE TO CHANGE. After it formats successfully click { Back }. Then hit the back button for 2 pages until your back at the [ Select Partitions To Wipe page ].

7. Now select { SYSTEM } and click { REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM }

8. Then select { Change File System } and select { F2FS }, then SWIPE TO CHANGE. After it formats successfully click { Back }. Then hit the back button for 2 pages until your back at the [ Select Partitions To Wipe page ].

9. Then select { DATA } and click { REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM }

10. Then select { Change File System } and select { F2FS }, then SWIPE TO CHANGE. After it formats successfully click { Back }. Then hit the back button for 2 pages until your back at the [ Select Partitions To Wipe page ].

11. Next from TWRP home, click { Settings } then { X } the box that says [ Use rm -rf instead of formatting ].

12. Hit the back button, then select { Restore }. Click on the package you want to restore ( this is the backup you made in step #2 )'

13. Next { X } the boxes { CACHE, SYSTEM, and DATA ONLY }. Then SWIPE TO RESTORE.

14. ALL DONE now just click { Reboot System }

Just in case you have a problem and you needed to convert back to EXT4,Here is how you do it

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONVERSION FROM F2FS TO EXT4

1. If you don't already have a backup that you want to use ( backed up with the [ Use rm -rf instead of formatting ] UNCHECKED ) then make one using Step 2 from above instructions.

2. Follow steps 2 through 14 from above, the only thing you have to do different is, instead of choosing { F2FS } for the file format you can choose ANY of the options available as long as the KERNEL you are running supports the format you are switching to.

3. That"s it

3a. If you already have a backup done with the format you desire all you have to do is make sure the [ Use rm -rf instead of formatting ] option is UNCHECKED then restore the { CACHE } AND { SYSTEM } partitions from the package you desire that was made in the format you desire.

3b. The { DATA } has to be done manually by following steps 3, 4, 9, 10 but then hit the back button till your at the TWRP home screen. Next do step 11. Then restore the { DATA } partition from the same backup as mentioned in step 3a.

3c. Reboot and done!​
