TWRP and files

I have noticed that when I go into TWRP alot of my old files are still on my phone. How can I completely wipe this phone out to factory without any files or apps?

Did i reflash the full images, or just the system image?

If you want to preserve data, than only system.

The /data partition can cause issues, not just /system.

If i flashed the data, is it will erase the internal storage? "Pictures, Music, Movies, etc..."

Yes, flashing userdata.img will format the internal storage, so backup your data first.
Flash factory images, don't install anything and reboot, if it doesn't happen then its an issue with your own stuff.

Yes. Can cause. But he can try to flash just system first.

Thanks guys

Hey buddy Factory Reset is not necessary, but it is recommended. If you do it then the phone will be much faster (won't experience lag). Also wipe Cache so that you boot into a fresh ROM and avoid any issues.
Don't forget to make a backup first!

After you install 5.0. Just wipe cache and factory reset if possible.

1. Download the update.
2. Let it reboot.
3. Go into recovery.
4. Wipe cache.
5. Restore backups (if any), reboot.
6. Continue to use phone as usual.
7. Enjoy.

So you let it reboot once then you turn off phone again and go into recovery?

Ok cool thanks for your help [emoji14] (sorry for the nooby questions I'm not used to wiping cache after OTA lol)

No problem. Wiping cache just after OTA supposedly helps the new software that has been installed.
I've never done it in any of my phones, not with the moto g. I also haven't faced any lag and I never factory reset or wiped my cache after OTA. But your results may vary. Better safe than sorry my friend. Good luck!

TWRP Decrypt Password?

Managed to get the latest TWRP on my ATT A9. But when I boot into TWRP, it asks for a password. Every password I've put in, it denies. And if I cancel, it puts me into TWRP but it shows that I have 0 data on my phone. Can anyone help me understand what's going on? Thanks!

Hi
Before installing the supersu.zip, make check and Wipe only Data (In Advanced Wipe).

Yes, that's all before installing the supersu.zip, delete only Data on the part of advanced wipe

Try to wipe data and cache from recovery. Warning: backup all your important data before.
