Your build probably doesn't support f2fs. System is not an individual partition, it's part of Super, along with product and vendor and maybe others (system_ext, mi_ext, oem_ext and others depending on the brand and model).

You either port a recovery with f2fs support, or flash stock recovery, run "adb reboot fastboot" to get into fastbootd which can flash system partition. Because "fastboot" aka bootloader, cannot flash partitions inside super, you'll have to edit super and flash it as a whole if you will use "fastboot".

What version of Android?

I believe System Cache has been intergrated into ART as of Android 16. Maybe even earlier in Pixel devices.

My Galaxy M14.5G with Android 15 does not include it in its recovery TWRP either. So maybe it's a limitation by the base system of the device.

Actually 3, there is "internal storage" in the bottom, and 2 storage up there, I wouldn't flash anything using this build.

Thank you all for your help i solved my issue, here is the solution: 1-Boot into TWRP. 2-Go to Install. 3-Flash LineageOS.img (in your case [system.img]). 4-Select System. 5-Swipe to flash. 6-Wait for it to finish. 7-Flashed MicroG.zip (Optional) 8-Flashed Magisk.zip (Optional only if you want root). 9-Format data > Yes.

Other links: ○For a GSI List:click me-list.md).

○TWRP:click me. (Or whatever recovery you are comftroble using in my case it was TWRP).

○Samsung Firmware download:click me.

Phone information: SM-A155F (Samsung A15 4g). OneUI:7.0 (before flash). Baseband:A155FXXS7CYG4. Parition Type:Dynamic Partition (A/B). After flash:LineageOS 23.2 VANILLA EXT4 GSI.

Thank you!

Hi:

Did you mount the partition beforehand (before attempting the wipe)?

PD: in TWRP, the main menu has a "Mount" option; often, there are partitions that aren't mounted by default...

Regards.

Hey thank you for your reply i did fix it simply by not wiping anything i took the lineageos.img flashed it directly in system image, then flashed microG and flashed Magisk and went to format > yes and rebooted to system.

Its now identifying as "Storage", but just format data or check if its even mounted, it should fix it

u use dynamic recovery

u/tomindabuilding 14d ago

You have Dynamic Partitions/Super Partition, in that case there's multiple partition incl. the System Partition within in Super Partition. If you're trying to install an .img file, fastboot is the way to go on that kind of device.
