I wanted to post this here since I've been busting my tail on an update for a week now. This WILL flash, Backup & Restore android 4.4 roms! USB mounting, internal & external sdcard mounts as well. There are still a few bugs to work out but give it a go & some feedback. It's still a WIP but plenty stable to use daily for now.
Also anyone interested in flashing the CandyKat sweetener packs, you may now do so with this recovery!!
TWRP 2.8.7.0
I am not responsible for misuse, bricks, or exploding devices! Flash at your own risk! You can download the zip file & flash it from within your existing recovery & reboot to recovery.
CREDITS: Javelinanddart for fixing mounts, f2fs, & for fixing vibration for 5.0 & up Disconnecktie && Santod040 I have bugged these guys to death to get this working so Please stop in & thank these guys as well. They are a huge part of the success of this! Obviously this couldn't happen without Omniroms Source! And a huge thanks for
Dees_Troy for his guide to compiling twrp recovery!!
TWRP Themes have changed a bit & if you use a them then you'll want to checkout this link.
THEMING TWRP THE NEW WAY!
What's new in 2.8.7.0
- Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that)
- Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer)
- Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer)
- Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices (xuefer)
- Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy)
- Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy)
- Add system read only option - more details below (Dees_Troy)
- Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy)
- Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that)
- Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower)
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won't prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won't try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don't take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.

Mounting which partition? Anyone that finds an error or a bug should try posting the recovery log after said error. Don't post the entire log in a post but put it on pastebin or something similar. Having the logs greatly increases the likely hood the issue will be fixed. Thanks.

What do you mean by mount memory? Where you add something from the pc to the sd card & it shows up on the internal when in twrp? The internal sd card mounts when connected to the pc, not the external sd. I don't know if that's how it's suppose to work or not. This is my first twrp attempt and I had to build it from scratch basically. Like Disconnecktie stated, a log may be helpful.
Great work. Missed TWRP. Just had to tick off my internal sd. Panicked when my partition wasn't visible with my ROMs to flash. LOL.

Updated OP with better mount paths & usb mounting working better. Guys if you all test this latest and give feedback, I'm working on getting this to the official site and in Bigbiff's thread. I appreciate your input. I have worked tirelessly to make this work but I may be missing something. Let me know what you find, working or not. I know the vibrate isn't currently working in recovery but I am looking into that.

For some reason (most likely that I'm a dummy, or missed reading somewhere)
Recently my SD card took a poo, so I've been saving to internal memory.
I flashed TWRP. When I look in sdcard I have no files visible. When I am booted into CandyKat I can see my files with my file explorer. Am I missing a valid mount somewhere? When I go to / I don't see a folder called storage, and in my /sdcard all I see is a folder called TWRP which is empty.
THanks!

Haven't tried your update yet but on the last build in order to use themes I had to load them into /data/media/0/TWRP/theme/ which I believe will be overwritten as soon as I flash another ROM. Is this one of your corrected paths?

No it was not. I've been waiting on more feedback from the update or any of my twrp builds. Now that I'm aware of it, I'll look into that so we can get it official in Bigbiffs twrp thread. I think it's close enough for him to release it as an official but this is my personal feelings. It'll be a couple days maybe before I get back to it since I've spent the last week concentrating on this, it's time for me to move on to other things for a moment.

We can probably keep this here until the bugs are worked out. Have you tried the latest here yet? I don't theme my recovery but I'm willing to so I can get it correct.
Also that may be something you can set in twrp, set a different default path for themes but I'm not 100% sure.

I tried to install the full aroma rom patch by pollution and it seemed to work but gave com.android.phone error on boot. So I thought easy fix, I'll restore the backup I made with TWRP yesterday and got even more errors. Yes, I factory reset before restoring. It seems that this TWRP is not doing everything like it used to under the 4.2's. I'm going to go back to CWM and restore a CWM backup, regroup, recharge.......and try again from scratch to test this thing out again. Wish me luck.

Best of luck to ya! I have restored my nandroid with twrp but not in my latest version. I'll give it a try this evening and see what happens on my end. I have not used the aroma installer because I personally would rather not use it. I just use the camera fix from Pollution since I don't have the screen flicker or any other issues with my phone.

THIS WILL NO LONGER BE MAINTAINED and is officially killed
go here if you want rw access and get the version without a kernel.(assuming you have a kernel installed that has aufs support)
IF YOU FLASHED THE UPDATE.ZIP THAT WAS ON THIS PAGE...PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:
You need to remove the init script and static busybox that were installed on your device. You have to do this in recovery mode since your rw access is not real.
Download the version linked to above and place it at the root of your sdcard.
open rom manager
select boot to recovery
boot to recovery while plugged in to computer
then from computer:
Code:
adb shell
mount /system
mount /data
rm /system/etc/init.d/99sysrw
rm /data/bin/busybox
umount /system
umount /data
exit
and from the phone:
flash BlaY0's update.zip you put on the sdcard
Really cool for your contributions.
I have no clue what you said, though. Will I be able to uninstall system apps with this? I'm guessin not as you were mostly speaking of partitions.
Lemme guess, brings ext2/3 etc together for something?
wow, best news that I have heard all day.
Ah! Thank you so much. I was just asking about this a couple weeks ago.

No, You will not be able to uninstall apps with this (at least I don't think). It doesn't actually let you write to the /system partition, it just creates an overlay.
And No it does not even look for an ext partition, it just uses the data partition.

Don't really know, I haven't tried. Bear in mind however since it is on your data partition, space could be an issue. Any files changed would then be stored in /data/sysrw.
thanks for the quick info
I'm gonna try this out with Android Commander. With this I should be able to remove apps and delete files without restarting into recovery and mounting everything. Right?

apparently I was wrong.
as a test I did...
Code:
rm system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk
while the phone was booted and it worked!
Even after a reboot I do not have com.amazon.mp3.apk installed
It worked for me too, I used android commander booted and running and removed out of /system/apps android.tether.apk, mytouchmusic-signed.apk, and twitter.apk. I had a force close when I removed one thing (I am sure it was running in the background)
They all were gone after a reboot too, I was also able to update adfree just fine.
Any way this can be built into roms?
Thanks for the hard work!

Hey dumfuq, thanks for this! Great idea on porting this badboy! One question though... from what I understood from the source thread is that will use the EXT. Partition for data if you have it right? So it won't break a2sd? I think I understood that correctly. Plus you need your kernel and that should make it work on any rom. I assume it won't overwite the OC kernel either. I'm excited to try this one out but I'm in the middle of rebuilding my rom so I can make a new backup (my old corrupted finally). I will test out as much as I can and let you know if different roms work. I should be done reinstalling by tomorrow (i have like 200 apps, lol!). This might turn out to be a good way to skip nandroiding and wiping all together if it turns out to work properly with a2sd/a2fat32... don't ya think?

This version is not the same as blayo's for the legend. It is closer to the desire one (although I used info from both).
Mine will not even try to detect an ext partition at this point, it just uses the data partition regardless of what is available.
Also nothing at all will get overwritten with this unless you happen to have an /system/etc/init.d/99sysrw file. It doesn't copy the kernel or modules, instead it just assumes you have a supported version . The only thing this update.zip does is add the script into init.d.

I haven't used them, but I think the newer sense roms support init.d scripts so you should be all good.
Working great on Fenix 2.0 with one of dumfuqs OC kernals...thank you much for this.
V2 is posted. It is essentially BlaY0's script for legend. I've only tested with no ext partition, but hopefully if you have one it will use it to store sysrw.

just so you guys now, v2 probably doesn't work for people with who want it on the ext. Blay0 fixed his though (to support non ext users), so I'll give it a look here soon.
Both versions do not work on stock kernel. Am I missing something? Should I use dumfuq kernel or cyanogenmod kernel in order to use this?

WHAT!!?? My slide has finally lost it's parasite, com.amazon.mp3 you are toast now. You and your friends kickback, talkback, soundback, twitter... not sure what else I erased, oh genie widget. Thanks dumfuq!! You are the man
Everyone that does this, make sure to check cyanogen's wiki on making a barebones rom so you don't delete something you actually need (of course you did make a nandroid before doing this so no need to worry if you do).
You won't actually delete anything... overlay just makes you (and system) think it is deleted.
First of all, this is not my work. I only compiled it.
This is the usual ClockworkMod recovery, compiled from the CM7 sources with additions/modifications by j_r0dd. What I've done is only to compile it for the Nexus One. For details, check out the link to j_r0dd's original thread for the Nexus S.
The credits go to Koush for the recovery itself and to j_r0dd for the modifications. I've only tested it quickly on my Nexus One, and it seems to work.
j_r0dd said:
This is based on the latest CM7 source which I modified for myself. I take no credit for the recovery whatsoever, but I will take all the blame for my mods . We all know this is Koush's hard work. Just some things were driving me crazy personally. First was the confirmation menu. I really got sick of scrolling through all those "No"s just to flash something, so i changed it for me personally and just thought I would share. I also created a proper wipe menu. I got sick of some wipes in the main menu and the rest in the "advanced" menu. I made this more Amon_RA like. See the attached screenshot for my changes. That change has led to a few others by me. flash with fastboot or flash_image. THESE ARE NOT IN ROM MANAGER. Also if you have an issue with this take it up with me NOT Koush.

Bug fixes
Disclaimer
These recoveries are compiled using the latest commits from koush, j_r0dd and others. That means they haven't been thoroughly tested and might have minor/major issues. I take no responsibility for any damages this thing might cause, but most things should work as intended. If you want something guaranteed to work, I think you should stick with one of the older versions.
Source code available here.
Thanks for compiling and posting this update here. I hope it works better than 3.0.0.5

So far I tested backing up, restoring, wiping and flashing all seemed to work fine.
Can't tell anything about compatibility to SD-ext, but a compiled version of CWM 3.0.24 from the Blandroid ROM showed no problems with SD-ext. I guess this one won't make problems either.
Need to test if ROMManager is still fully functional with this version.

For some reason, ROM manager doesn't work for me. It downloads the rom, asks me if i want gapps, wipe /etc, then it reboots but NOT in recovery, and if i select Recovery, doesn't work. (goes back to original screen)... any ideas..?

restoring doesn't work with sd-ext (1GB ext4 in my case): it's always aborting during restoring data! no cache and sd-ext restoring and no "restore completed" CWM message but jumping back to the CWM main menu.
it's the same with the other CWM3.2.0.1 for Nexus One.

This Corrupts EXT partition!
This recovery corrupts EXT partition while the 2.4.0.1 doesn't restore!!! I'm staying away from clockwork recoveries from now on! I'm sick and tried of restoring corrupt ext partitions!

Aww
But still, thanks for bringing it over to the N1.
Updated OP to version 4.0.0.0.
While twrp 2.x has been out on a large number of devices, since our team never had a N1 it's been absent from our list. Now we are happy to serve up a version to the last Nexus device on our list.
Team Win Recovery Project 2.2, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Phone look:
Tablet look:
v2.2.1 - various bugfixes and HTC Dumlock support now built in for latest hboots that don't support flashing to /boot.
CHANGELOG (for 2.2.0):
- On-screen keyboard in recovery! -- supports long press, backspace repeat, and swipe left deletes everything left of the cursor
- Name new backups and rename existing backups
- Rename files and folders in the file manager
- Pseudo-terminal emulator
- Support decrypting an encrypted data partition on Galaxy Nexus (enter password using keyboard)
- Backup archive splitting -- allows backup and restore of data partitions larger than 2GB
- Simplified XML layout support between resolutions
- Added dual storage selection radio buttons to zip install, backup, and restore pages
- Improved zip install compatibility
- Updated update-binary source code
- Numerous small bug fixes and improvements
DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app
For downloads and instructions please visit our TWRP website and choose your device in the dropdown menu
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 30 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
Taking this one too for device specific faqs.....
I compiled this build with the Twrp source against the CM7 source tree.
Very Nice - !!!

Glad you like it. I know it's a little late to the party, but I figured better late than never.
I must say I was pretty sceptical this could be better than 4ext, but I am pleasantly surprised how much I like it. It is my new favorite recovery for now.....till I need to reformat my SD ext....4ext just does that better. To not have to wipe the fat partition is invaluable to me...but maybe that will be a possibility one day too. I really prefer every other aspect of this over 4ext though...very well done!

Thanks! It's been in dev for little over a year now on different devices. As for sd-ext, we'd be happy to merge a pull request with a better method, but given that most newer devices have large amounts of internal storage it's not likely we'll get to it anytime soon.
But twrp is 100% open source and we are more than happy to get people started compiling!

Im no developer and dont know what a pull request is, but the difference I am speaking of lies in 4EXT's ability to re-partition the SD card either completely (which this also does) or only the ext partition and leaves the FAT partition untouched (which this does not do). What that would entail is way beyond anything I could hope to know or figure out, but Im certain it can be done. Again, thanks for your hard work on this and for bringing it to us!

Sorry I was not clear, with 4EXT you can re-partition JUST the ext partition without completely wiping the whole card. So you can actually change partition size, type, etc....without reformatting the who SD card.

That's interesting as most methods of repartitioning a disk cause the entire disk to be wiped. I know there are some ways around it though, but we haven't looked at them I don't think.

4EXT is the only one Ive heard of....is very nice too.
So, basically, it is just adjusting the content of the partition table to make it smaller (or use any other "free" space after the FAT partition, and then to format the new partition.
Reminds me of all the old DOS based (i.e. ranish?) partition manager tools...basically a lot of low level manipulation of the data in the partition table.
I love TWRP!
Having an issue installing it on my N1, though - goomanager seems to stall at "Installing recovery image." So I need to do it manually I guess.
I'm assuming I should be able to fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.4-passion.img - right?

Glad you figured it out. The issue has been that goo.im had a mishap when updating their hardware. So a lot of data was lost. Our other download on teamw.in should point to a backup source at techerrata files.
I've been using 4ext for a long time but I recently discovered twrp (installed it on my Kindle and love it). One question before I put it on my N1: Are my nandroid backups from 4ext forward-compatible with twrp? E.g. Will twrp be able to restore old backups?
Thanks for all your work!
This is the newest philz recovery with an OG clockworkmod theme.
All credits go to invisiblek. I am just posting here with his permission.

Grab the img for your device flash with flashify or tool of your choice.
**Temporarily removed the aromafm, graphics issues at this time.**
The aromafm.zip is for aroma file manager. Place zip in /data/media/0/clockworkmod/aromafm/. They zip file will be in the folder with your variant recovery.img
Does it have an option to change partition to f2fs?
Many thanks mate.

No it does not.
<•invisiblek> would need f2fs-support in the boot.img's fstab
<•invisiblek> and if recovery thought it'd be a good idea to re-write that, you're going to end up with an un-bumped boot.img
its in his long term plan but its not there right now.
Woow...Thanks to the good work for d855 [emoji6]
God news
This recovery is not support for F400. It's bad news.
can the partitioning menu be added?
I don't see the aroma zip in the d850 folder

on another note, as stated, aromafm is derped pretty hard on our device, i'm planning to look into fixing it up at some point, but it might be a bit
also i'm in the process of building/uploading a new version (6.58.9.1) which supports the cm updater, expect those to start rolling in shortly
for those interested in the fix: https://github.com/invisiblek/philz_touch_cwm6/commit/bef5775f20854a45ccfd96b1b04bf5ee28fe3af4
Does it support nandroid backup for modem?
@invisiblek
Great news. You are the real hero behind the scenes. Your work for our device is much appreciated mate thank you. We wouldn't have all those unofficial roms to play with until you make something official for us. it is very close I believe.

Well, tried on my D850 and installed and ran fine, but 2 issues:
1. Can't mount external SD (SanDisk 64Gb in FAT32 but soon going back to ExFat), the path for it is incorrect and no option to change it
2. Installed a Zip file that replaced the kernel and even though it said all went ok it was never installed
Had to flash back the TWRP recovery (even though that one can't read my external_SD either no matter the format) so I can flash the new kernel properly.
Waiting for your next release to test it out.

Thats odd, I flash kernels just fine and can flash from my sd card. Could you have gotten a bad download possibly.
can't get philz to make back-up
downloaded the latest version, flashed with flashify, rebooted, and when i try to make a back-up of my current rom, all it does is sit at the "checking" when trying to back up to sdcard1
not sure what i did wrong, but isn't working for me

bumped;
tried again, and can't get it to do anything after i select make backup. all it does is says "checking" and nothing.
i'm having problems getting 5.0 roms to install correctly, thought this might be the solution.
So what's going on here? Any work in progress? I don't like twrp that much.
Is there a version of philz recovery that will work on lg g3 as990? Can one be created?
Introduction
Hello all, this is my version of TWRP for the Nexus 6P, which includes the ability to convert your /data and /cache partitions to F2FS. This will stay inline with TWRP's changes for the most part, the changes will be listed below.
What in the world is F2FS?
From Wikipedia:
F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system initially developed by Samsung Electronics for the Linux kernel.
The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that, from the start, takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers.
F2FS was designed on a basis of a log-structured file system approach, which it adapted to newer forms of storage. Jaegeuk Kim, the principal F2FS author, has stated that it remedies some known issues of the older log-structured file systems, such as the snowball effect of wandering trees and high cleaning overhead. In addition, since a NAND-based storage device shows different characteristics according to its internal geometry or flash memory management scheme (such as the Flash Translation Layer or FTL), it supports various parameters not only for configuring on-disk layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms.

Before diving into this, I would recommend reading the official F2FS documentation to understand why this may be good for you. This is potentially unstable, F2FS is a file system that is very much in active development. There is a reason that most OEMs go with ext4 out of the box. But I digress, I am NOT here to sell you on F2FS; it makes zero difference to me if you use it or not, I am merely providing you with a tool to do so.
Changelog + differences
Differences:
f2fs-tools bumped to 1.7.0 (Omni's 6.0 branch is on 1.4.0)
TWRP app installation offer disabled by default
Conversion procedure
Download TWRP from the link above
Grab a kernel that supports F2FS (I use my own as I know it works)
Back up any important data as this will wipe your entire internal storage
Boot into the bootloader and flash the recovery
Boot into TWRP and go into Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Data and then hit "Change or Repair File System"
Hit Change File System
Choose F2FS and slide to confirm
Repeat the previous three steps for cache
Reboot and move all of your files back over (if restoring through TWRP, make sure to check the option to use rm -rf instead of formatting)
If you have any issues with this, you may need to ask your ROM developer to merge the two commits below.
Bug reports
You are NOT in ANY circumstance to report ANY bugs to the TWRP team.
If you have an issue with flashing something in TWRP, copy the recovery log to your sdcard and post it here.
If swapping to F2FS does not stick, try formatting your data with TWRP (Wipe > Format Data) or fastboot format userdata first.
If your phone does not boot after swapping to F2FS, either your kernel or ROM does not have proper support; post in their thread.
Additionally, check out some of these helpful posts:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=70699197
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=71074016
Adding support to ROM
In order to properly support the initial conversion to F2FS, please add these two commits to your source:
https://github.com/omnirom/android_system_core/commit/1c6700a8fb31c6e314df4f031fa23fa9178c7ca7
https://github.com/omnirom/android_system_vold/commit/c879edb2fecae709f404c2d71c1d47ceac3a325e
The reason some people have issues converting is fs_mgr will try to read the block device as ext4 and destroy the f2fs block. This commit skips that check, allowing F2FS to pass through.
Sources
TWRP is licensed under GPLv3, meaning my changes must be disclosed. I also inline a custom kernel so that source is included as well. I also add in the other repos I modify.
Recovery: https://github.com/nathanchance/android_bootable_recovery/tree/android-7.1
Kernel: https://github.com/nathanchance/angler/tree/7.1.2-flash

First!
Thanks for the recovery. Been using it with flash kernel. I see considerable performance improvement in asphalt Xtreme game( idk if its the f2fs or kernel ).
Nice !!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Thank you, and thank you for the exemplary GPL compliance. It's noticed and appreciated.
Now this is awesome... On it, will report soon
Much appreciated!

Nitrogen should also work but i am doing something wrong... PN should only work with data to f2fs... i am trying different ways right now.
I restored everything to ext4 but i get bootloops now with everyrom... reboots constand... damnit
restored my twrp to latest 3.0.3 but i still get bootlooping... whay did i wrong :S Going back to complete stock latest google image... can anoyone tell me what i did wrong here?!
Restoring factory worked... back on 3.0.3 twrp and with PN rom installed. I will wait a couple of days on how to get it working properly on PN
Worked perfect! Thanks Flash!!!
I tried this with PN and am now stuck in a boot loop. I flashed the twrp with F2FS support then tried to change the file system followed by installing the latest vendor, latest flashable bootloader+radio, latest pure nexus and gapps, flash kernel, and latest su. Didnt work. Im not stuck in a boot loop I cant get out of. Ive tried every combination of the above. I also tried restoring my backup but that gives me an error. I also tried changing the file system back to ext4. Nothing works. Anyone experience this or have any suggestions?

Data keeps reverting back to ext4 after 1st boot.

Mine too....Im stuck in a bootloop. Are you?
Whats also weird is switching too f2fs wiped my storage but once the data reverted back to ext4....my original storage came back too!! Im not sure how or why that is happening either.
I just followed OP and formatted everything first, now i have SAOSP running with flash on f2fs..
Works great, so far it doesn't feel like a huge improvement though..

What makes you say that?
Back then when I was using Temasek on my Note 3, he incorporate a script that automatically format the system partition to F2FS when flashing his ROM. That is if the system partition is already in f2fs and I think that was pretty amazing but short live. I wonder if other ROM developer could go the same route if formatting F2FS system was popular enough. That would make updating new rom one step easier. Just for thought.

Hi All,
Make sure to restore your backup with "Use rm -rf instead of formating"; else the restore will reformat the partition back to the file system use in the backup.

Because that's what's happening to me. Maybe it's because I'm on PN. At this time f2fs has not been widely adopted by too many devs so compatibility could be an issue. I think I'll stick with ext4 a bit until f2fs is fully mature.
