I finally decided to do this. When it was done, I had to remove the lock setting to enable access to the phone.

Now, my internal storage seems to become read only as I can't download anything. Can someone please tell me what to do to fix this? Also, I did notice the increased speed. However, the battery consumption seems to be worst compared to the ext4. Is there something wrong with my setup?

I am using the latest AEX V5.5 May 28 and TWRP 3.2.1.0 (edit: I skipped the Terminal command in step 6 as I am using a newer version of TWRP)

Edit2: I tried to format the data but was unable. So, I went back to ext4.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] schueyisking:
guys i'm a total noob, i've only just after 2 days of trying managed to successfully install a custom rom oreo 8.1 on my zte axon 7.

i had no luck trying to install the 'official' beta properly.

anyway - doing this migration thing has been suggested but i'll be honest the steps involved and everything looks mega complicated and unless its literally been written button by button, i wo'nt attempt it.

but is there a decent video guide anywhere that i can just follow???
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] janthe6th:
hi if I want to back to ext4 I just follow the same steps and change f2fs to ext4 right? I'm thinking of going back to stock and I think I need to change data back to ext4
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SkaboXD:
I want to do this, does this work for Android 7.1.1 stock rom B09 update?

Edit: Diskinfo reports that data is already on f2fs and that cache is in ext4
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] haoyangw:
Actually no need, with 'Use rm -rf instead of formatting' turned off you can just wipe /data and internal storage, and TWRP will already format it as ext4
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Infy_AsiX:
Just changed a new warranty replacement I received to F2FS. My advice to anyone backing up and restoring their internal storage data to use the external microSD method unless you have USB3.0. On a slow old budget 128GB microSD it was noticeably a few times faster than using USB2.0 ADB.

I used TWRP as described to move to F2FS this time. Last time my phone came with F2FS on stock or I just ended up on F2FS after some ROM flash, I only noticed I was on F2FS after checking one day. This time around I don't need the loopback bug workaround to have working Magisk modules, seems whatever method I ended up on F2FS previously was maybe the reason. Restoring my old Nandroid is all fine. Also changed cache partition to F2FS, don't remember checking if it used to be.

update edit: I lost all my installed Magisk modules after wiping my caches. Seems I'll just stick with relying on the loopback bug workaround to not lose them when wiping cache and just reinstall the loopback workaround after wiping cache. Might be because I'm on a dirty old Nandroid. I'll try without again when next time I upgrade to a clean ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] inrockweareone:
Hi all, appreciate any help.

I got this G version of the Axon 7 as a warranty replacement and remember the things I did to it straight out of the box was unlocking bootloader, installed AEX 5.6 as custom rom, flash Magisk, did this F2FS migration for speed and then go to Magisk and flashed the module for Jojoc to improve battery life.

The phone has been having random freezes and I had to reboot everytime. This happens randomly on lockscreen, different apps so not specific to the apps.

I have no other mods on the phone, only the Jojoc mod and I have disabled it to test but still got freezes. Wondering if F2FS migration is causing it?

Not sure what I did wrong there or anything I can do to troubleshoot this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Infy_AsiX:
To update my post. Starting a clean B12 RR-O with no more F2FS issues. Cache can be F2FS whereas it was EXT4 before for loopback workaround. Magisk 16.4 working but can't install anything in recovery, only in Magisk Manager and can't get Adaway hosts working at all.

Running any root commands on lockscreen? Or running expanded desktop on all apps? I think the latter had issues turning the screen on.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] inrockweareone:
I don't have any root commands on lockscreen and don't have expanded desktop at all. Anything else I need to check?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
What ROM and bootloader are you using? I have used F2FS with NFound and Kranoner ROMs and kernels both under B10+B32 and new B12 bootloaders without any issue. Data and Cache under F2FS filesystem without Magisk issues and without the loopback bug workaround.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
It is not related to F2FS migration. To use AdAway you have to enable systemless hosts file option in Magisk Manager Preferences and reboot. One of the "features" of B12 bootloader is that it is impossible to remount system in read/write mode anymore, not even as a root from a terminal under superuser. AdAway works by modifying the hosts file which is in the system partition.

UPDATE: The read/Write issue of B12 bootstack was finally easy to solve. The old reboot disemmcwp did the trick.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Infy_AsiX:
that was b32+10 but as I explained it was unusual

yeah as always. But no go on 16.4. Magisk isn't visible in the root directory and can't be mounted in recovery either. Though you just reminded me how I got some magisk core init files on by going to 16 where it's mounted properly. Just switched back to 16 to install systemless hosts and then back to 16.4. Have to do that to update hosts it seems. Not sure if I'm alone on this.

B12 system is locked? I managed to change boot animation tho?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] anon1135:
I can't believe how smooth f2fs is compared to ext4. Very noticeable not sure if there's any instabilities yet I will test everything. This is probably the best change I ever made for this phone. If everything is working fine then everyone should follow this imo. Ty for all the great guides oki axon 7 is lucky to have someone like u since we are a bit low on devs now
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Infy_AsiX:
I had an obb folder with files corrupt to be unwritable once on F2FS. I formatted back to EXT4 and haven't looked back. AFAIK F2FS is less reliable with less safeguards for reliability like the old stable EXT4. There's a reason vendors have moved back to EXT4 which also means there's less development improving F2FS further.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
I've had corruption both with ext4 and f2fs. f2fs relies on a well engineered cache system. Regarding development, f2fs is now a well stablished filesystem and developed is not as heavy as it was a a few years ago. But that is an indicator of stability. There is no development on ext4 since it is a solid filesystem, but it lacks the efficiency step for flash memory that f2fs provides. IMHO In the Axon 7 it makes a huge difference.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SkaboXD:
hey bro, tnx for guide but how to migrate cache to f2fs on stock 7.1.1? i saw your and jcadduono zip but it's for 6.0. I tried to remove kernel and include just fstab edits but it says decryption unsuccesuful. Any solution?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Infy_AsiX:
I wasn't talking about typical data corruption but a large obb file making part of NAND storage become unwritable. Probably rare but having been stung once is enough. File speed isn't much of a bottleneck if any in general performance when we've UFS2.0 anyway. Real value performance gains can be found in kernel and ROM setting customisation. I've read a few articles talking about the trade offs and cons of F2FS.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SkaboXD:
here is my result in data f2fs, cache ext4. Android 7.1.1 stock rom SL!M B10.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alwynjoshy:
Brothers on new Lab recovery what all steps we have to change other than format to F2FS?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SkaboXD:
just that if you don't care about internal storage and /data backup. If you care about that, follow steps from 1st page.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alwynjoshy:
I already have backup, just want to know one thing that do i have to enable dm verity and any adb codes?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alwynjoshy:
What about System and vendor?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SkaboXD:
no adb codes. I always flash disable dm-verity script when i flash new ROM. Encryption is automatically removed with f2fs.

System and vendor are in ext4 so there is no point in changing them to f2fs because they are in r/o state most of the time.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SkaboXD:
3 months later, still works perfectly, no lags, stutters or anything. I'm on SL!M 5, MiFavor 4.2 B10, Android 7.1.1 ROM, in my opinion most stable rom i used.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Peter_Stendahl:
I was troubleshooting my home button that works from time to time.

So i flashed latest firmware for phone, but im pretty sure i flashed HOME_CSC instead of the normal CSC *FML*

So now when i boot download mode i cant choose by volume buttons, and booting download mode with "adb reboot bootloader" will just reboot rom normally...

Edit: Download mode boots, when using hardware buttons, but cant choose continue in download mode to be able to flash TWRP/Firmware with Odin again.

I guess if i could root it with some 1click method i could try issueing reboot bootloader command from root, but i guess that wont work either and there is no 1click methods AFAIK

Any suggestions? :)

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitishgupta:
Please HELP ME!

I am on OOS 2.1.1, rooted and TWRP 2.8.7

installed.

I need to update to OOS 3.5.6.

Can soneone tell me the steps of flashing the

ROM and by which TWRP. And which data to clear.

Basically mention all the steps.

Please...

I will thank you 1000 times.

But please do help me.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mbariah:
Simply download the full 1.2GB OS 3.5.6 zip and flash it in recovery. Before you flash be sure to wipe ALL these folders in twrp : Dalvik, System, Data and Cache.

After wiping then you can flash the zip.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradise220:
First of all flash latest twrp in twrp recovery than reboot recovery.now you could flash oxygen os 3.5.6 full zip.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikki20:
I would suggest you to do following steps.

1. Flash OxygenOS 3.1.0 full rom by wiping all except internal storage.

2. Flash latest TWRP 3.0.2-2 from official twrp website. Becoz you won't be able to use old twrp on 3.0.1

3. Flash OxygenOS 3.5.6 full rom by wiping all in twrp except internal storage.

You can get the full roms in xda, spannaa has created a thread.

Note: Keep in mind that when you will uodate from oos 2.2 to oos 3.1 your bootloader will change so you will need latest twrp after installing oos 3.1.0 & when you will uodate from 3.1.0 to 3.5.6 your modem will change. So follow the steps exactly.

Probably won't work but you could always try hooking the phone up to Sugar QCT and select a 6055 model. Not even sure if it has a download mode or not. The forums for this phone are pretty much dead for a decent android phone with a custom recovery and root. I can't even get anyone to try my custom stock rom, lol. Best of luck

You could always try getting ahold of the nice folks that got this working and see if they can help you.

Which Rom are you talking about [MENTION=5437200]PizzaG[/MENTION]. By the way, I have got hold of TCL950 ROM and BlackberryDTK60 ROM.

2. command quering (addon for system storage manager) . takes some processor time 3-8% depens on many things..

3. system predictive read (new system service)(works on all system flash disks )- takes 2mb of ram // also not good for 64mb unis ... becose buffer size (this buffer creates for all disks ,, 1 disk 1 buffer) floating (2-10mb) also as feature this thing can lost data :)

4. also entire fat filesystem will stored in ram (1 mb)

5. system predictive write (service ) which virtually splits free space on blocks (1 mb free continius space then 3mb then 10 mb then 50 then 100mb ) this help system to define write place .. takes 1-2 mb (also it will alert about critical fragmentation )

Reflash the firmware..
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cnat:
Okay, I'm kinda freaking out here, so if you guys could throw me a lifeline I'll be so grateful.

I was trying to update the firmware of my verizon HTC 10 before I update my rom (Viper) from M to N.

I tried flashing the latest firmware from the zip in this thread, but when I did so, my screen shows the phone with the circle and download symbol inside, and below it is a blue bar. I assume it's a completion bar, but it's not moving at all. So, I looked through this thread for errors, but none of them seemed to be the case. I would copy/paste the log, but I closed the adb command line window, which I probably shouldn't have.

Since I couldn't find any error match, I decided to just try and reboot the device with the fastboot command ( fastboot reboot ). When I do this, it says

rebooting...

finished. total time: 5.001s

but it doesn't actually reboot. When I try the command ( fastboot reboot-bootloader ), it returns

rebooting into bootloader...

FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))

finished. total time 5.005s

Also, when I try to manually turn it off by holding down the power button, nothing happens. But when I hold power and volume down, the captivate keys blink.

I have the HTC RUU exe from this same thread, and I'm going to try running that next. What do you guys think? Is my phone bricked? Can you please save me? Thanks so much in advance.

EDIT:

Phone was not bricked. When the nav button lights blink, just keep holding down power+vol down until the phone reboots. Leaving this up in case someone else has this problem.
