I am just curious as to which files are cleaned when you format boot and/or system in recovery. I look through the root directory in root explorer "/" and see many files and I was curious if any of them are erased after a boot or system format?
Basically my main question is, if you make any changes to any of these folders can you reset them back by formatting boot and system and then flashing a new clean rom over it?

Formatting system.and.boot formats the boot and system partitions. This *erases* them.
System is mounted at /system
Boot contains the kernel, ramdisk, init scripts.

Is there a way to boot into clockworkmod, and make changes to the recovery files? I have a second partition on my sd card (formatted as ext3), but when I boot into CWM, the /etc/fstab file always has it listed as ext4. It will only mount the second partition if I manually mount it as ext3 (through adb). Is there a way to make a change to the /etc/fstab and /etc/recovery.fstab, and have those changes persist after a reboot?
This partition mounts perfectly fine booting normally, its just in CWM that I have issues.
Bump. Any way to permanently change the image and reapply them after updating CM?
Accidentally I deleted boot and boot1 partitions on my Mi4 while extending system partition. Could create system partitions as ext2 but I do not understand what type of filesystem boot and boot1 belong to. Could someone help in creating back the lost partitions? Thanks in advance

I think I messed up boot partition...so tried to flash rom via fastboot(since I created the system partition already). Now I can't flash recovery also. Can enter only fastboot mode.Is my mobile permanently bricked?
Hi everyone. My phone (redmi 6 cereus) has realtively small system partition, so I decided to try to manually alter the partition table. I did that one time without any problems so I thought it would go smoothly this time. Boy was I wrong Like the last time, I resized my data partition, deleted system partition and created a new one to use all the space left available after shrinking data partition. After that I rebooted my device to twrp but this time I forgot to name that new partition as system (now its label is something like "Microsoft basic data partition") and now my device bootloops. I cannot even boot to recovery, fastboot is the only thing that boots.
I've tried booting twrp using fastboot boot twrp.img but that also resulted in bootloop. My theory is that my device is trying to mount system partition during early stages of booting, but it cannot find one so it crashes and reboots. So I thought that maybe I could extract boot.img and modify it so fstab would not have any references to system partition, but my boot.img has empty ramdisk. I've tried to to the same thing with twrp image, but there I could not find fstab file.
Maybe my thinking is wrong and there is another solution to this problem. Maybe it is possible to name partition from fastboot? I don't know, I'm pretty familiar with linux, but not so much with android. Any help would be appreciated
