Can somebody with F2FS working test this kernel?
It's only adds patched hammerhead.fstab to ramdisk.

Just gave it a go. It wouldn't boot (stopped at Google logo).

@Calkulin (because you uploaded the rom)
@katinatez (because you are good folk)
@zaphodbeeb (becasue you are the one that taught me to convert to mixed partitions)
hoping to get some help on this for me and others wanting to try out the update.
i am trying to get the rooted 05q to work on my mixed f2fs/etx4 partitions. data/cache f2fs - system etx4 so i don't have to wipe my /data partition.
i have gone through several routes so far to no avail. sideloading/flashing. flashing the ak 113 kernel with instructions for the new update. updated to the new katinatez philz with the new f2fs comits.
1. updater script - i did not see a need in changing the /data to use busybox for f2fs as the line of code is already there.
2. fstab.bacon - i used zaphods new f2fs all or f2fs mixed
Code:
# Android fstab file.
#<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags and options> <fs_mgr_flags>
# The filesystem that contains the filesystem checker binary (typically /system) cannot
# specify MF_CHECK, and must come before any filesystems that do specify MF_CHECK

at first i just flashed the the new extras file (firmware modem linked with Calkulin's rom. then flashed the rom. i got stuck on the bootanimation for ten minutes.
then i thought it might be the kernel not 'jiving' with f2fs. so i sideloaded the ak_113 (on top of what i had already done) with the instructionsfrom @xlollomanx (thanks) linked from the ak kernel thread.
still.... stuck on cyanogen boot for ten minutes
then i restored my backup and sideloaded everything, ak kernel and all, from scratch.
once again... grrr. still stuck on boot animation for ten minutes.
any ideas on what i can do?
How to convert NAND ROM to SD-EXT ROM for MultiBootloader
Code:
After following this guide, your ROM can be use with [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x2/development/sbl-multibootloader-v1-00-04-10-2015-t3217360"]MultiBootloader[/URL]
THIS GUIDE IS NOT FOR NOOBs
Requirements
Knowledge about Android Image Kitchen
Notepad ++
A nand ROM extracted
Instructions
Delete the RED COLOR
Add the BLUE COLOR
Step 1: Modifying boot.img (FOR STOCK KERNEL ONLY) - Check post #2 to download the modified boot image, you don't need to edit it yourself.
Use Android Image Kitchen's unpackimg command to unpack the boot.img file from the ROM your want to port.
Go to Android Image Kitchen\ramdisk folder, edit these files:
fstab.qcom
Change like this:
Code:
# Android fstab file.
# The filesystem that contains the filesystem checker binary (typically /system) cannot
# specify MF_CHECK, and must come before any filesystems that do specify MF_CHECK
#TODO: Add 'check' as fs_mgr_flags with data partition.
# Currently we dont have e2fsck compiled. So fs check would failed.
#<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags and options> <fs_mgr_flags>

[COLOR="Blue"] wait /dev/block/mmcblk1p4
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p4 /custom nosuid nodev barrier=1 ro[/COLOR]
Repack boot.img and copy to the ROM folder.
Step 2: Modifying updater-script
Open ROM-name\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
Find:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p19", "/system");
or
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");
Add these lines above it:
Code:
[COLOR="blue"]ui_print(" Mounting Partitions ");
mount("ext4", "MMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2", "/system-ext");
mount("ext4", "MMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p4", "/custom-ext");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p20", "/cache");
mount("ext4", "MMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p3", "/data-ext");
ui_print(" Formatting Partitions ");
delete_recursive("/system-ext");
delete_recursive("/custom-ext");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/data-ext");[/COLOR]
Find this line:
Code:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
Change like this:
Code:
[INDENT][COLOR="Red"]package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
run_program("/system/xbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/boot.img", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10");
delete("/tmp/boot.img");[/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"]
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/emmc/kernels/[I]your_rom_name[/I].img");[/COLOR][/INDENT]
Find and change all /system/ to /system-EXT/
Find and change all /custom/ to /custom-EXT/
Save.
Step 3: Create the ZIP
Make sure you have copy the modified boot.img to the ROM folder
Select all the files and folders in the ROM folder (custom, system, META-INF, boot.img,etc..)
Compress into ZIP file.
Done.
<EDITTING>
I have modifed the boot.img to boot into sdext ROM:
For stock based ROM: stock_ext.img - thanks to @symbuzzer for adding some features and fixing the ril & sdcard bugs
modified_stock_insecure-kernel.img - (Maybe I've made some mistake in this file. I don't recommend to use this, it can cause some bugs with sdcard0. Better modify it yourself.)
For CM11 based ROM: ext_cm11.img
Great ! Im waiting for this
Bro how can intsall the rom
I m try but couldn't with me
Plz help ??
@SonnySimon this method doesnt work on Stock Kernel/Rom. I will attach stock kernel on XDA today. You can compare mine with yours and update this post. Thanks

It works. I tried and it boots successfully into ext stock ROM but have some bugs with ril and sdcard.

[HOW TO] BOOT FROM SD CARD [SUCCESSFULLY] on QMobile Z8 with BRICKED/DEAD eMMC

How to convert NAND ROM to SD-EXT ROM for MultiBootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have been successfully able to boot from SD card on QMobile Z8 by partitioning SD card on a Ubuntu machine using 'parted' and 'fdisk' commands, replicating eMMC partition table and then flashing factory firmware images to these newly created partitions using 'dd' command. Then I modified "fstab.qcom" & "init.tegra.rc" files in kernel (boot.img) and "recovery.fstab" and "uneventd.rc" files in twrp recovery to initiate mounting and booting from sd card instead of internal memory. It was successful after some experiments. Details can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/how-to-boot-sd-card-qmobile-z8-bricked-t3712171
But I have still a few queries to be answered. Please have a look. Any help, comments, information or suggestions will be appreciated.
Hi developers, I'm trying to compile cwm from sources. When I do "make -j4 recoveryimage" I can test the recovery and it works, but when I flash it seems it installs in download mode (see attached image). I think the recovery.fstab is the problem), but I can't find the problem
Here's my recovery.fstab:
Code:
# mount point fstype device [device2] fstype2
/boot emmc /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot
/system ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system
/cache ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache
/data ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata length=-16384
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
