ok, everything went ok

I now have

twrp 3.1.01 with f2fs options enabled

AICP NEW ROM

gAPPS 7.1.2

DATA folder F2FS

EVERYTHING WORKING PERFECT

Thank you dev [MENTION=7889472]makorn645[/MENTION]

EDIT: I WOULD though advise to

not use F2FS to Note 2

because I have received serious problems when used it in rom .

Lets stick to ext4 for now
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] andrewKode:
F2FS may be better in some data operations but it's definitely not more stable than EXT4 on your Note II's memory. F2FS can cause corrupted data and eventually dead partitions/emmc. It's not well optimised for 4412.

I've used it in the past and it caused unstable system behaviours. So be careful with that. It will boost your phone a bit, no doubt, but I won't recommend that to you.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] znznizam:
Hi Dev/OP, are u sure the links is updated, because when am flash .img file, it's a same the recovery 3.1.0.0 not the latest recovery 3.1.0.1....can u please check again tq...sorry my bad english....
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
Thanks for the warning. Dev [MENTION=7889472]makorn645[/MENTION] also warned me about that, but it was to late as I run into it without a second thought and almost bricked my phone.

After I installed rom without a single problem, after some reboots I faced what you are saying about corrupted data and couldn't boot in rom, in recovery, nothing could be done.

Fortunately I understood what was going on fast enough and also happend to have latest stock rom available,so I flashed stock with odin to escape without casualties of that.

Even after flashing stock, I had to twice !! factory reset and format data with stock recovery to be able to restore my file systems back to normal.

I SAID , NEVER AGAIN F2FS FOR ME.

This is why I suggested [MENTION=7889472]makorn645[/MENTION] ,dev of the recovery, to take some measures, so other curious like me, to DONT BE ABLE, even if they want, to use that option in recovery.

It was too scary and very dangerous for our phone.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SkyFair:
[MENTION=5554397]logosA[/MENTION]

But why? I've been using f2fs for 2 years already, on stock rom using agni, there were no problems. There have been cases when bootloop twrp occurred due to incomplete support for f2fs. Since version twrp 3.0.2-1 (bigdiff) the bug has been fixed - it was the most stable recovery with full support for f2fs.

As for me, applications open faster with f2fs.;)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
Looks like there is a serious problem at the moment with TWRP, ANDROID 7.1.2 and F2FS FILE SYSTEM.

I AM watching very close every thread for Note 2 and Note 4 here in XDA (and not only here)

A lot of users, here and in Note 4 are reporting problems of that kind.

There are also a lot of users that looks like they have no problem using F2FS , as a file system to DATA and CASHE.

It has to be the combinations of rom and recovery and what commits they have include in each of them.

IN my case I faced serious data corruption and was very scared until solve this out

I could not say that I saw any visible difference using F2FS , for that short time that I used it, no I prefer not to try it again for a while to my note2, until someone can confirm that is running flawless .
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] PoisonNinja:
I have been using F2FS for /data and /cache for a couple weeks now. No data corruption issues so far.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nNeFeroN:
Dunno how u r using it. I got bootloop when entered twrp second time . And my data , cache , system was "can't mount" , so I had to flash stock ROM through Odin.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SkyFair:
Ok, when using f2fs, this error occurs.

It helped me: delete /cache/... and /storage/emulated/0/twrp
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] makorn645:
updated download links

This is build based on lineage-os 14.1 sources

Download in OP

Changes:

- based on 7.1 sources

- format ext4 -> f2fs works
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
Yes, its working very well now. The last 3 days with CASHE and DATA formated in F2FS, made 5 formats, installations and many many reboots in recovery and system.

Everything is working very well now. :good::):good:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] reis1996:
Are things faster?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
NO, honestly speaking I cannt see any difference at all.

No faster, no slower, no more or less stable.

For me there is no difference.

I can only say that I feel the last ver of the recovery stable and very well responding with no problems so far.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tobias231h:
With the latest version of TWRP (30/04) i can't install lineage-14.1-20170422-tilak-n7100.zip anymore.

E3003: Can't install this package over newer build
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
yes, you cant. You must use a rom with newer date than the recovery unfortunattelly

You have 2 options

1.go back to previous recovery and install what you want

2. Install xenon or AICP's rom that have newer date
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Stud12376:
why is it so?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] reis1996:
So no other ROM made before the Recovery's birth will work.?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] makorn645:
You can't flash ROMs that have the build date older than 27/04/2017. You'll have to wait for the maintainer to update the ROM...

If you want to flash roms that have an older build date I suggest rolling back to the omni 4.4 based twrp for now.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Stud12376:
but why,what is the reason,if you can explain it in laymen language then it would be really nice.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Vishal Vignesh:
Because the new recovery is based on 7.1 sources
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] digital0:
So what? Why an older ROM cannot be installed? IMHO it's unneeded artificial restriction. boot and recovery partitions both have their own kernels which have nothing to do with each other.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Vishal Vignesh:
It's like expecting a nougat feature like for example quick tiles or Google assistant to work out of the box for Android kk

If you will be flashing a ROM of older version then flash twrp 3.0.1.0 that's based on the Omni 4.4 sources...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] digital0:
No, it's nothing like "expecting a nougat feature like for example quick tiles or Google assistant to work out of the box for Android kk". Recovery is recovery, it only INSTALLS the ROM, which then works separately. So again - why it can't INSTALL the older ROM? IMHO it's artificial and unneeded restriction. Or does anyone have any technical explanation?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Skull97:
Just like official lineage rom, the recovery of lineage is also updated nightly /weekly which could break something with older build, so they may have to add that restriction. And since the latest recovery is based on lineage source, that restriction still remain.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] digital0:
Again, if you don't know technical answer, please don't speculate about "something can break". What is that "something" I asked?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Vishal Vignesh:
If your looking for a technical answer then go Google it

Twrp is open sourced..

Go Google it and search why we cant install old ROMs on twrp based on 7.1.1 sources...

Because there are changes on how 7.1.1 works....

And try to be less rude here...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] makorn645:
This is not a twrp issue and I don't restrict stuff unless it's not safe for users. Some roms have updater-scripts that check the build date before flashing, if the rom date is older than the build date the rom wont flash.

Well you could just simply remove that one line that checks the build date in the roms updater-script but why add some extra steps when you could flash it with an older version that doesn't make very big difference to the new one. also as I said in my previous post you can just either wait or flash an older recovery for now. I'll update with an older build date soon. As I'm currently busy with school stuff so it will take some time.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] digital0:
I did search for the "E3003: Can't install this package over newer build" in the sources (https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery), but did not found it.

Aha, that's it, thank you for the explanation!

---------- Post added at 12:44 ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 ----------

BTW, it seems the source link in the first post is for the older recovery, could you please add the link to the newer LineageOS based one?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
[MENTION=7889472]makorn645[/MENTION], I need your help about something.

It has nothing to do with the roms or recovery that you have given us , but you are the only one that I know who can tell me what that means.

I was trying to flash an AICP rom in my other phone (Note 4)and have received this. I had flashed this rom before and was working.

After I updated recovery I am no longer able to do that so I was thinking if it has to do with date of the recovery and rom

After that error I have successfully flashed roms with newer date but never this.

Any help would be appreciated, just to help me understand what the error means

Thank you for your time.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] clayteau:
There is something curious about the latest version. It seems that changing the file system of cache or data seems to wipe the entire internal storage. Is this supposed to happen?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] makorn645:
Seems like your getting an error 7 normally it won't happen if your flashing for the right device. If your sure it's for your device try removing the asserts in your updater-script

It's normal.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
Ι am sure that its for the right device, because the same excact rom (this same zip) I had flashed it the first day it was released and was working in my phone very well.

After that I updated the recovery, flashed then a different-newer rom and since that time I cannt go back to that rom any more. Newer than that Lineage roms are been installed without a problem.

Thank you very much for your answer and the time spent for replying me .

I will wait for the dev to release a newer version .
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] digital0:
Does it install if you wipe system first?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
yes , thats how i finally did it, wipe system/data/cashe/dalvik and after that factory reset and rom was finally installed.

And as soon as I did it, dev released a new version :(

I just flashed that too :)

This TWRP does not work for me when trying to flash Resurrection Remix rom (RR-N-v5.8.3-20170419-n7100-Milestone). Official TWRP 3.0.2.0 Works fine.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] digital0:
Error message?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] h_maharaj:
The dev already explained this a page or two back. Flashing a ROM with a build date before 27/04/2017 will not work with the latest version of this TWRP. This is due to some ROMs updater script checking for build date: if the build date of the ROM is older than the build date of the recovery, the flash will fail. You have several options: Modify the updater script of the ROM to ignore build date, wait for your ROMs maintainer to push an update with newer build date or the easiest is to use TWRP 3.0.2.0.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Option58:

You have to use 3..02 tar with odin and after that use the .img of the 3.1.1 to flash it through the recovery.

I am using CWM (on Note 2 N7100 Lineage Nougat Rom) right now. I have downloaded the TWRP from the first page. How can I replace CWM with TWRP? Is there any CWM installer available? Where can I find the TWRP replacement instructions?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] h_maharaj:
Download the img.tar file from the following link and flash through Odin. File goes in the AP tab. https://dl.twrp.me/t03g/twrp-3.0.2-0-t03g.img.tar

If you then want to update to this unofficial version, boot into TWRP recovery and tap "Install" then "install image". Navigate to where you saved the downloaded img file from this thread and select it then select "recovery" as the partition to flash. Swipe to flash and you're done.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Suresh KM:
Five years back I had used ODIN. Right now CWM is the recovery. Possible to install TWRP from there?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] h_maharaj:
I haven't used CWM in years so I can't remember the options. Is there an option for flashing an img file to the recovery partition? If not then you rather not try looking for shortcuts and just flash through Odin. Make sure to download the latest version of Odin as well as the Samsung drivers for your pc.

Don't know if apps like Flashify or FlashFire can do it as I haven't used those. If you don't want to use Odin then download those apps and check whether they can flash the recovery.

Edit. You could also try the official TWRP app. According to their web page the app can also flash the recovery. https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote2n7100.html
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Suresh KM:
I assume a zip file only allowed in CWM.

After installing Lineage rom the root is missing, so I believe first the root has to instate, then through Odin replace the CWM with TWRP. Waiting for the instructions on another group how to replace the Lineage superuser with SuperSU.zip.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
The root is NOT missing, in Lineage rom's thread I pointed out to you what to do to enable it, as its just disabled by default. IF YOU STILL WANT to replace Lineage SU you need this

addonsu-remove-14.1-arm-signed.zip

from here:

https://download.lineageos.org/extras

in recovery, after you flash rom , flash the remover above then flash gapps, clear cashe and dalvik then flash SuperSU and then reboot the rom.

MY OPINION: DONT, stay with the root the rom is already having.

SuperSU after 2.79 ver, has some problems with permissions in accessing the external sd card, so for now I would advice you to stay with the Lineage SU
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Suresh KM:
__I am well experienced in activating `development tools'. But even after activating "Apps & Adb" still the root access is not available. Not giving root access to apps or even there is no prompt asking for root access. Is there any other way to activate root access in Lineage Rom for N7100? Wish to stay with the present root application.

(Earlier in Ressurrection Remix nougot rom, when I replaced SuperSu.zip with Magisk (battery draining issue) in Resurrection Remix Rom got Boot_loop. Later on, came to know that there is an Uninstaller for Magisk to run first)

An early reply would be highly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] h_maharaj:
You do not need root access to flash recovery with Odin. Your root access issues could very well be due to installation problem as a result of using a horribly outdated recovery as you are the only one to be having this issue. I suggest you follow the instructions that myself and LogosA have given you for flashing TWRP using Odin and then do a clean flash of the rom.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
1. You may want to read this and install flashify to do the job for you

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify

https://nexus5.gadgethacks.com/how-to/install-custom-recovery-nexus-6-0158768/

2. I am not familiar with CWM recovery. In twrp there is an option install(flash) recovery image, in which you can flash the recovery.img and this way to install/update a new recovery inside the recovery its self. Take a look in CWM recovery and see if there is something like that too. If so download twrp.img from here and flash it through CMW

https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote2n7100.html

3. odin method is always the best and safest way to install a recovery on your phone.

If you dont like doing that, search and see if there is something else we may dont know.

http://techbeasts.com/install-latest-twrp-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-note-2-all-variants/

Good luck

PS. Bootloop in RR maybe is a problem from the rom its self as many-many-many users have faced that even with TWRP . So if I was you, I would skip RR for now and prefer some other rom to start with

(AICP, HenonHD, NucleaROM)
