Hey guys,
I am thinking of giving f2fs a shot due to some rumors. As I am sticking to the CM12.1 nightlies, I am flashing new builds every now and then. So modifying the fstab everytime after flashing is time consuming. Is there some way to flash a zip for f2fs support and be done?

So guys, I've been at this for days.
I was originally using AK's kernel, TWRP Recovery and the official 44S ROM, but had issues with logging being disabled, so I fugured I'd go for the cm12 nightlies. I installed the latest AK kernel (102), updated TWRP to 2.8.4.1 and tried to dirty flash the 20150130 nightly, just to find that I'm stuck on the boot screen. I then on found about a firmware update that I installed after I wiped everything clean. Installed cm12 again and I was stuck in the same bootloop. I've even tried cm11 with the intention to OTA to cm12, but that had the same issue. That went through many different ROM's I've tried. I am kind of fed up by now and I would appreciate any input.
Thanks.
So you initially tried to dirty flash CM12 over CM11S? And you did that after flashing the AK kernel? If so you've got one major problem there: never dirty flash when switching ROMs or Android versions, you did both in one hit. And the minor problem: you're meant to flash a kernel after flashing a ROM, if you do it the other way around the stock kernel from the ROM zip just overwrites the custom kernel.
Anyway, I think your best bet is to flash the stock images with fastboot, see section 8 of my guide thread .

I can flash any 11S rom, but the problem is installing and booting into cm12. But I think I'll just wait for 12S as it should come up soon. Would be cool if I had access to nightlies though.
Well' you can't win them all.
There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to flash the nightlies? Did you update your firmware appropriately before flashing CM12?

@timmaaa I am also wondering why does he face bootloop issues every time. If there is no essential change in the latest OTA update (like updated bootloader) maybe his recovery doesn't wipe /system properly.
Hey, @BigWaxx, did you manually format /system in TWRP before flashing CM12? If yes, maybe give a try with PhilZ recovery.

It's definitely possible, the firmware is the most likely culprit at this stage though.

I have updated the firmware properly before that. Also no other custom ROM runs - not only cm12. I've tried cm11, OmniROM, TGM, BlissPop and temarek.
I have also tried CWM, but not PhilZ. I made sure to format everything - even internal storage. I've tried both F2FS and EXT4 as filesystems for /system.
I will try PhilZ though.
Cheers.
WHAT??? I was developing with something, I finish, decide to flash cm12 nightlies now that I had messed up my /data, and suprise!
I'll upload images when I fix my phone
its a 1+1
Hi everyone! First of all, I was wondering if is it worth it to install CM12S having already CM12.1 last nightly; and if you say so, is it enough to make a clean install and flash the CM12S zip? Cause I don't wanna mess it up forgetting about flashing the correct boot.img or something and make my One a wonderful paperweight.
Thanks!
I haven't used 12.1 for a bit, as I went to 12S and have remained there until the official full 12.1S release arrives, but my suggestion is always to do a clean install. It provides the most assured way to have the most secure/error free system, and it takes a very short time, as well.
So there's no need to flash any boot or kernel?

No, the kernel is included in the zip. But always clean install.
I ran into a bit of a problem recently. My phone suddenly froze, and didn't want to wake. This happens occasionally, so I did what I always do: hard reboot the phone. Hard rebooting resulted in a bootloop, I got stuck in the bootanimation. So at this point, I figured wiping the phone and reflashing would do the trick. Guess what? It didn't. I thought this was a bit odd, so I started to (clean) reflash earlier builds of TugaPower, but nothing seemed to help; every build resulted in a bootloop, except for TugaPower N5. So I decided to just run N5, new N8 build was released though, so I tried flashing that build, still stuck in bootloop.
At this point I lost all hope in TugaPower and decided to flash the official CM14.1 build; no dice, resulted in a bootloop. At this point I tried resetting everything, wiping my complete phone, but nothing helped. Then I tried flashing kwoktopus/updateing AOSP build, which did boot fine! I really want to run CM14.1/TugaPower though, but my phone just refuses to boot on both. Any ideas?
It is worth noting that I've tried almost everything (in TWRP) recovery at this point. From formatting system all the way to running adb to fix the persist partition. Nothing seemed to help. CM14.1 builds don't boot, but AOSP boots fine. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? MY PHONE?
Useful info about the phone:
I'm not running multirom;
I am using latest TWRP recovery;
I wasn't deliberately using F2FS or EXT4 memory, partition, whatever (I didn't know what they both did)
TugaPower N5 build ran fine, after that build everything bootlooped
CM13 boots, CM14.1 bootloops
Kwoktopus/updateing AOSP 7.1 build boots fine
Try checking if your /cache partition is formatted to f2fs, it sometimes automatically does that

It wasn't, it was in EXT4 format...
Which gapps?

Open Gapps Pico, 7.1 of course. But I quit flashing it after a while, figured I'd keep that out of the equation when I was triangulating the source of what caused the bootloop. It definitely isn't because of Gapps.
Maybe you need to flash a different firmware?

How would I need to do that? I (re)flashed the latest firmware for the TugaPower rom, but I figured that flashing a (new) firmware for the CM14.1 builds wasn't necessary.
Managed to fix it using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061
I don't know what causes this to happen, but now you guys know how to fix it.
I can't figure this out for the life of me.
I grabbed the latest weekly for the find7op from the official site, but I can never get past the boot animation.
Running the c7-00011 firmware, F2FS on /data and /cache, no custom kernel or gapps or anything that might make it hang.
Am I missing something here?

omnirom doesnt support f2fs
convert to ext4 data chace n system to make omni rom boot up

Really? I figured everything supported it by now. Well, I'll try again some other day then.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
