Hi, I recently installed Full Advance 6.0.1 ROM for my i9000 and whilst trying to flash gapps via the TWRP that came with the rom, I got an error saying that my /system partition was too small to flash gapps. How can I resize the /system partition?
Thanks

Hello,
I am flashing a lot of ROMs lately and is there any real difference between these 2 methods:
1) Go to recovery - mounts and storage
format /system, /data, /cache, /sdcard
then flash a new ROM through CWM recovery
and
2) Do the things above (format /system, /data, /cache, /sdcard)
flash a stock ROM via heimdall/odin
flash a CWM compatible kernel
wipe everything again
flash the new CWM ROM
?
Thank you in advance!
I don't see any difference between those methods, just that some rom's require to be on a specific firmware ( JVQ, JVP etc ) in order to flash that rom.
And for the second metond I don't see the point of wiping before flashing a stock rom because if u flash via odin with repartition ticked this will automatically wipe everything .
Does anyone out there have a copy of the stock VZW HTC One remix recovery?
I've been having issues mounting my /data partition in TWRP and any supersu flash does not seem to stick. I think the issue is related to permissions (been trying to format the partition) due to my encryption of the /data partition. I can't factory reset as TWRP does not correctly run the factory reset script.
I'm hoping the factory recovery will follow the script and remove the encrypted /data partition.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks! :good:
Hi,
I have installed custom ROM and apparently it converted my userdata partition to F2FS, because when I try to install any other ROM it fails after checking userdata filesystem type. TWRP doesn't boot as well, I only have CM recovery working. I'm looking for someone who can help me write updater script to format the partition back to ext4 using mkfs.ext4 which is included in recovery. Please help.
Installing custom TWRP with f2fs support from here helped.
After installing twrp i tried flashing liuneage os but somehow messed up. Now i am getting the error Unable to Mount /data. I tried changing file format, repair with no luck. Thanks.
The data partition of the stock rom is different and not usable with lineage (I think because of encryption). You have to reformat it at first.
If TWRP can't mount the data partition, you need to flash the stock recovery, format data from there and then TWRP should be able to mount it again. The stock recovery image is somewhere in this forum.

If you are using twrp from this thread, it's mentioned on the 3rd post

Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old rom encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

or maybe try to disable data encryption which is mentioned on the 1st post

After booting in TWRP download and flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 zip to disable data partition encryption
If for any reason you fail to install TWRP multiple times/different methods, make sure you check this thread

You need to format /data with the "yes" confirmation.
The stock ROM will survive, because it's on /system and /preload.
After that you need to flash a fully patched kernel with removed forced encryption (like a2n kernel) before you reboot to the system. Otherwise the stock kernel will encrypt the /data partition once again.

i know i tried this but mine stock rom installed after flashing with odin (turkey) and after apply twrp format data stock rom are very different. the second i said seems like global rom. it contains weird settings and apps I will do what you say and take a screenshot,1 2 hours later you will understand me better.
