This is the only one my wipe tab has:
Dalvik/art cache
metadata
Data/
Cache
But this is the istallation guide from the Custom rom:
• Clean Flash Required!
• IMEI BACKUP FIRST THE TUTORIAL IS IN NOTES #backupimei (DON'T COMPLAIN IF YOUR IMEI IS LOST AND DON'T HAVE A BACKUP) (SAVE IMEI BACKUP FILE ON PC OR ANYWHERE AS IS SAFE AND WILL NOT LOST)
• Take IMEI Backup(don't complain if you don't take backup and lose imei)
• wipe Dalvik/Art, Cache, Format Data > yes
• Flash rom in twrp
Help me please
What should I wipe in TWRP?
If you are switching ROMs (changing from one ROM to a completely different one) then you should perform a factory reset. A factory reset wipes data and cache...

Does selecting the "wipe data" via clockworkmod recovery also wipes my stored pictures and music or does it only wipe all the OS data?

Nothing will wipe your stored pictures / music or SD card unless you partition your SD card.
Wiping factory settings is the ONLY one that would wipe your OS data.
If you want a full wipe.. wipe dalvik / factory / cache.
Wiping dalvik / cache won't do anything but if you're experiencing slowness, wipe those.. you dont really lose anything

I would do a clean install.
-Backup user's app and data (if you want to) I use Titanium Backup but any similar app will do.
-Nandroid backup of your current ROM just in case
-Format system
-wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
-Flash ROM and Gapps
-Reboot
-Restore user's app + data
-Let Google restore any system app's data.
*If you want a totally fresh tablet you can format internal sd card (it will wipe EVERYTHING) but make sure the files you want to flash is on external micro sd card and your recovery can read from external micro sd card

I think it should be fine with that version TWRP, I'm using an older version too (I think 2.3....)
Wiping data is the same as factory reset.
I would recommend updating to TWRP 2.3.2.3 or newer. The older ones don't always work well with the multi-user file structure and you may end up with a /sdcard/0/ directory with what used to be your /sdcard/. This was fixed in 2.3.2.3.
Yeah I think that's the version I use, 2.3.2.3
Hi guys. I want to install new custom rom via TWRP. I don't want to lose my media files such as my photos, my musics and my download files. But the loss of apps is not important. Can i don't wipe the "internal storage"? By doing this, my previous rom, will be completely erase or not? What i should wipe in "Advanced wipe" for install custom rom and delete all things except my media files?

You don't necessarily have to use the advanced wipes, what you are trying to do can be done with the default wipes, the default wipes are: wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. The default wipe can be done just by selecting the "Wipe" option, then, on the next screen" at the top it will say "wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache", at the bottom, there will be a slider, just swipe the slider to perform the default wipe. You can do the same wipes by choosing the "advanced wipe" option, then select the data partition, cache partition and dalvik cache partition, then perform the wipe. Custom recoveries are designed to wipe /data but not /data/media, /data/media is where all your stuff in internal is located, that does not get wiped unless you choose the advanced wipe and then select the internal storage partition when performing the wipe.
Your /data/media will survive through any wipes or flashing that you do in TWRP, it will never wipe your personal data unless you specifically instruct it to.

long story short: just to assure myself for everything to go smoothly while installing Lineage OS 14.2 i stupidly decided to tick the 'system' box on factory reset for TWRP along with the standard data, cache and dalvik. now i tried to system restore the backup i have on my sd card and it says error 225 at the end and its stuck on boot!
what have i done wrong? can you no longer restore if you tickbox the 'system' thing; does the backup option not backup literally everything? did my files corrupt? will the 'format data' option (deleting everything on internal storage), then trying to restore fix it? HELP.
phone is a Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 (J320fn) fwiw

If you wiped everything, you can't just restore the system only, the default restore that restored all partitions that were backed up, is what you need.
Or, you can boot into TWRP, then select the wipe option, then select advanced wipes, then select the system, data, cache and dalvik cache partitions then swipe the slider to wipe. After the wipe is finished, flash your LineageOS ROM and gapps.
After flashing the ROM and rebooting the device, if you want to try to restore the backup that you made, boot into TWRP, when retoring a backup, it isn't necessary to do any kind of wipes because it automatically formats the partitions before restoring the backed up data to each partition.

i solved. it turns out i just didnt have enough memory to extract the system restore into internal storage.
what do you mean though? the only problem im having in the stock OS now is that my phone will randomly stop charging and/or display different battery %'s (one time it said i had 89% for 15 minutes straight without charging it. i rebooted it and then it said it was at 94%), as well as im unable to manually update (says my original OS was modified in a non authorized manner)
is there anything i can do in TWRP in regards to either of these things? maybe re flash stock OS? (how would i go about doing that without losing all my data?)
Hi,
Fist time, my apologies if this doubt or question is "stupid"...
I'm new in twrp...
I want use the stock rom, Iwas installed TWRP , root the device, change some files for VoLTE and all works fine.
But I want made a full factory reset (also for calibrate battery).
I was go to TWRP and presh Wipe (no advanced wipe), this made a reset but I view that aren't full factory reset (some files continue in internal storage...etc...).
I view that, are a Format option in TWRP-Wipe-Advanced options, if use format, format my rom? I question this because, also, I want decrypt my phone, and after read in google and some posts I view some posts with the option for format, but like indicate, I want use my stock rom of HTC u11 but I'm not sure if format delete my o.s./rom and then need install stock rom.
If the format option isn't for decrypt and factory reset, are wipe, wipe data, cache and davilk cache, options for full factory reset?
Again, sorry if this question is...rookie question...I search in google, in this forum, but I don't view exact how made and I have very afraid of doing it wrong.
Thanks and regards.
PS: Sorry my english
Auto reply:
First, format data.
Then, advanced options in wipe, check Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache and Data, then wipe.
With this, hard reset.
The first time I made the wipe with not format data, not made wipe for decryption, for this reasson, first we need format data, then, we can check this options and wipe works fine.
Regards.
