Does a factory reset also wipe the cache partition?
Yes, it clears everything on internal storage

So I'm just curious here. I never messed with rooting and ROMS with my original Moto Droid, it started with my Droid Charge. I've always adhered to the rule of wiping the 'big 3' when doing a major change. Data Wipe/Factory Reset. Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache.
My question is this; when doing a data wipe/factory reset, one of the steps listed during the process is formatting cache. Then when wiping the cache, it does and displays what appears to be a duplicate function it says "formatting cache".
So .... when doing a main 3 wipe, are we actually accomplishing the same thing by just doing a data wipe/factory reset and wiping the Dalvik Cache?
Hmm, if got it correctly then all you need to do is "wipe/factory reset" and "wipe dalvik cache". After doing so there's no need to format cache once again.
/system should be formated automatically when flashinging new ROM, though i do that manually. Justc in case.

how do i do full wipe to my phone if wipe cache and delvik cache is not enoug?
it won't delete the backup i'm doing to the current rom?
thanks
You won't delete your backup or anything on your internal memory unless you wipe sdcard.
A full wipe is: wipe cache and dalvik, factory reset, format data and format system.
You will lose all your apps and your settings.

thanks allot
If I need to wipe Data, Factory reset, and dalvik cache, are the respective names in TWRP: Factory reset, format data, and dalvik cache? First time using TWRP and only really confused on the data part.
I think they are under the wipe tab. But i don't remember because i use the super wipe.zip. it does it for me. I think MMuzzy has it for download on his thread.

Yeah but what I meant is that the wipe data, is named format data in TWRP right?
No. Wipe cache, davlik, factory reset, and system. Format data format the entire SD card

Ooh had no idea. Thanks man! Off to install MIUI Android.
Hi, my question is, what of way do you format device to flash a ROM. In picture A there is swipe to factory reset and in picture B you have to type yes to start. While flashing a ROM which option do you choose? Factory reset or Format data. I forgot which one I used to format data.
With TWRP if you wipe "factory reset" clears, / data, cache / and / dalvik but in / data does not erase / data / media / or your internal storage.
But is you wipe /data from Advance wipe, it will delete everything in data partition including internal storage.
:good:
Format Data now what
I used TWRP to "format data" on my phone and then loaded CyanogenMod from an external sd card, but it is stuck in the load screen. Do I have to use a different ROM after a "format data"?

Am I can do hard reset to my rooted phone without any problem or I should uninstall magisk first?
Rooted or not... doesn't make a difference. Remove all the Google accounts just in case, as if you forgot the password or the account you have used on the phone, the device will be locked after factory reset.
When you're ready just wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik in TWRP (that will leave Internal Storage untouched) or format Data (that will erase also Internal Storage and remove encryption of you have one).
