Here is the latest TWRP modified to include F2FS, which means that you can partition your phone to F2fs file system. This recovery is for flashing to Fota partition. Use recovery install apps such as Rashr or flash it in fastboot. UNZIP the file first...
Edit: the above does not mean you can automatically format everything to f2fs. You must have support in kernel too. Also, straight formatting in twrp does not work. You need to enter recovery and then use adb shell to format system, data and cache.
Hi, I'm new to flashing custom rom. I've accidentally change the file system of my Dalvik Cache to FAT, (the default is ext4). I want to revert it back to ext4 but when I select it, it says invalid partition selection. I haven't flashed a custom rom yet. What should I do next?

AFAIK, dalvik-cache is just a directory present inside /data partition, which is EXT4 formatted (or even F2FS)..
How did you even do that??
There's no separate partition for dalvik-cache.
Maybe you would have changed the file system of /cache partition..
And, to make it clear, /cache partition doesn't hold dalvik-cache.

In TWRP, there's a Wipe option and then I selected Dalvik-cache and mistakenly change the File System to FAT. Now I can't mount it.
Problem occuring in TWRP 3.2.1 and 3.2.3
Can't flash any custom ROM and don't have a backup.
File systems:
Dalvik/ART Cache - Invalid partition selection
system - ext4
data - ext4
internal storage - Invalid partition selection
cache-f2fs
external_sd - ext4
I tried anything that i could think of!
Did somebody else had this type of problem? I need help guys!
Im sure most of us now know /data is formatted as F2FS
i am trying to format /data as EXT4 for testing purposes however i cant get it to boot
i have added a line in the fstab for ext4 on the /data partition
once i format /data as ext4 in twrp i get a error saying that the device is corrupt and that i need to format/wipe my device
anyone have any ideas on how i can get this working please
ok no longer get 'device is corrupt' message
just stuck on the google icon with the bar loading - still no boot.
DATA partition is by default ext4 or f2fs or something else?
i need help because i did change file system in Twrp option
